Bishop EW Jackson And now, a warrior for the word of God and the Constitution of the United States, a, Marine The Core veteran, a Harvard trade attorney, Bishop of the Call churches, and founder and president of Stand Staying true to America's national destiny, the, Voice of the Awakening. Your host, Bishop E.W. jackson. Welcome, everybody, to another edition of the Awakening podcast here on American Family Radio. And this is a very special day because we're in the middle of Sharathon. And, every time I begin this program, I begin by saying to all of you, thank you. Thank you for your support, thank you for your prayers, thank you for your contributions. And I say that because I really mean it from the bottom of my heart, folks.
Addressing National Problems Through Christian Broadcasting and Sharing the Gospel
You know, I know our countries got a lot of problems right now, and the problems are fundamentally spiritual. But I often think this. No matter how bad things might look in the broad cultural sense, what would things be like if it weren't for American Family Radio? How much worse would they be if it weren't for the salt and light that this network is able to project across the country in what, nearly 200 stations? Get the exact number, but, and not to mention now, you can listen to us on your devices. And in that sense, everybody has a radio, right? And a radio station, frankly, right in their pocket. But what would our country be like were it not for the voices of the many wonderful hosts that we have on this network and the programs and all the things that American Family association is doing? I'll tell you just as a personal matter, of course I support American, ah, Family Radio as a listener, right? I'm not only a host, I support American Family Radio as a listener because I believe so strongly in what we are doing. and I tell you, every Christian, really, every Bible believing Christian ought to be. So if you got friends who don't know about American Family Radio or have never heard it, turn them on to us and tell them, well, look, maybe there's not a radio station in your area, but you can go online, you can go on your phone, afr.net and you can listen live to the programming right there. You can listen to the podcast. You can mention Bishop P.W. jackson's got a podcast on American Family Radio that, that you can check out. And of course I'm not the only one. And if I start naming names, I'm going to leave somebody out. But, you know, you can go on afr.net and look at them all.
Biblical Principles for Standing Firm in Faith and Operating in Love
The scripture for standard thon is be on your guard. It's out of 1st Corinthians 16, 13, 14, be on your guard, stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong, do everything in love. And I'll tell you, that's. That's the other thing. There's no question that we operate in love. yeah, we're, we're tough, we're biblical, we're strong on that. But you'll never hear hatred on this. I know we accused of that nonsense by, you know, I won't even justify them or dignified, some of these people by mentioning their names, all that stuff. Those accusations are made. But you and I know that there's nothing expressed from this network but love.
Rejection of God's Truth and the Wisdom Needed to Solve America's Spiritual Problems
But the problem is that people who don't know God and reject God's truth, for them, expressing, the truth is an expression of hatred. But, you know, it's ultimately not us they hate. It's ultimately God they hate. You know, it's just like God told Moses. When the people rebelled against Moses, God said to him, they're not rebelling against you, they're rebelling against me. And that really is the bottom line. But God loves them anyway, and so do we. So I just want to encourage you today and take a, Take a moment here on the podcast. For $150 donation, you get brother Don Wildmon's book, It's My Turn. And, when I was doing daily radio, I was in the slot that brother Don had. And of course, we would always play one of his commentaries. And I'll tell you, I love those commentaries. I'm serious, folks. They were so down home and folksy, but just packed full of wisdom. And, you know, you just listen. You, go, yeah, man, right? You know, you just wish everybody could capture that wisdom. If the whole country captured the wisdom he was expressing, it was wisdom from the word of God. Capture that wisdom.
Support for American Family Radio Through Donations and Special Offers
What a country we would have. I mean, we got a wonderful country now, in spite of all of our problems. But we've got some very serious problems spiritually in America that need to be solved. And it is the wisdom of God that can solve them. He'll also send you that gift for a monthly gift, a pledge of $30 or more. so you pledge $30 or more. We'll send you the. It's my turn and send you, a little packet, the AFA lunch cooler. You know, keep. Keep your, keep your lunch cool. And to tell you the truth, I'm. Look, I am a monthly donor. I'm a contributor to afr. So I've already got my packet and it's. It was A nice gift. I saw. It's my turn. Yeah. I said, I can't. I can't wait to dig into this because I loved hearing those commentaries when I was doing daily radio. So it's share a thon, folks. I would ask you, if you're not a monthly contributor, to become one. If you say, well, Bishop Jackson, that's not really my thing. Maybe you can make that $150 gift. But I'll tell you this, whatever gift you make, if it's not but five bucks or whatever it is, believe me, we have grateful hearts towards you because we're not in this for money.
Gratitude for Listener Support and Prayers in Sustaining Broadcasts for Over 35 Years
Not a single one of us is in this for money. We're in this because we love God, we love our country. We love you, and we're doing the very best we can to serve you as sincerely as we know how. and to be a blessing to you. So. So thank you all for your prayers. Thank you for your support. If you don't want to donate [email protected] you can go to the telephones, 877-616-2396. That's 877-616-2396. I'll try to come back to, that again before I end the podcast. You know, for over 35 years. For over 35 years, folks, you. You all have kept us on the air 35 years, equipping families, proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ. And we can't do it without you. We can't do it without you.
Confronting Anti-Christian Radicals and Their Fleeting Power Versus Eternal Life
So let's make sure, given the circumstances we are in right now, particularly, of course, circumstances have been around since God gave Brother Don the vision, and he gave him the vision to particularly address these circumstances. He probably wouldn't have thought, man, 35 years later, we would be going strong. But these anti Christian, anti God, anti American radicals, would be going strong as well. Now the problem is they can't go strong for very long. You know, the psalm, says, I have seen the wicked in great power and spreading himself like a green bay tree. But when I looked for him, he could not be found. I sought him, and behold, he was not. These people have a shelf life. You and I have eternal life. They have a shelf life. They just don't know it. They don't know that they're on a conveyor. Bait. Conveyor belt to hell. And they don't know we're trying to get them off of it.
Praying for the Salvation of Those Who Reject God's Truth and Engaging in Spiritual Warfare
Unlike them wishing people die and wishing people, celebrating people's death and wanting people to be Assassinated. All this crazy stuff, wicked, evil stuff. Unlike them, we're praying for them to get a revelation and to turn their lives over to Jesus Christ so that they can come to know him and be in heaven with us. And I said many times, you may have heard me say this. I said, I'd rather a person be mad at me now and just. I can't. Bishop E.W. jackson. I, can't stand. Oh, I want to wring his neck. I'd rather people think that way about me now and meet me in heaven. I'm very serious about this, folks. I get emotional about it and meet me in heaven and say to me, man, thank you. Thank you for offending me. Thank you for pricking my conscience. Thank you for telling me what I didn't want to hear, because in doing so, you helped me. I didn't appreciate it then. Oh, boy, I sure do appreciate it now. So that's what this is all about, folks. Yes, we preach against homosexuality because it's against the word of God. But do we want homosexuals to go to hell? No, we want them to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and be saved. And, yes, we're in a pitch battle with those activists who are trying to groom our children and preach this, transgender lie and kill unborn babies and try to make the government God and censor us. Yes, we are in a pitched battle with them, but the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but they are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought under obedience to Jesus Christ. We are not musing or imagining their destruction. We are musing and imagining their salvation.
Political Disadvantage of Conservative Christians and Current Poll Trends
That's why we're different. So let me. Let me come to the first point. I've said this before. If I'm being repetitive, forgive me, but it bears saying. It bears repeating. We are at a distinct disadvantage, politically against our enemies. They may say, well, what do you mean by that? We're at a distinct disadvantage? That sounds kind of, you know, that sounds kind of defeatist. Now, listen to what I'm saying. We are at a distinct disadvantage. The polls right now, the last poll I checked, at least it's been a couple of days. But since I checked, the last real clear average of politics, there is not a single senator who is conservative Christian. I mean, I hate to use the party label, but most of those people fit under the Republican side. So you get what I'm saying? I don't know any of them that fit on the Democrat side. But there is not a single person, on what we would call the conservative or Christian side who is leading in the polls right now. Now, there are races that are close. El Sayed, they say is in a really close race now, but the last time I checked, he was three points ahead. Excuse me, three points ahead. of, I'm going to look this up while we're talking. Three points ahead of his opponent, of his Republican opponent. Talarico was ahead of Paxton. And on and on it goes. Ossoff eight points ahead. M. Cooper in North Carolina. I forget how many points ahead, but he was way out in front. I think he was eight points ahead too. So everywhere I have looked and the real clear average of politics, I'm sure, as you know, it gives you the, average of all the polls. Okay, all the legitimate polls. Now look, I take the polls with a grain of salt, folks. I'm not saying, oh yeah, believe the polls. But what I'm saying is the polls do indicate a trend.
Examining Election Polls and Encouraging Christians to Vote Their Values
But that trend doesn't have to be the final word. So I'm looking at them all now. right now the polls show Talarico ahead by three points in Texas. Now that can't possibly happen, but that can't possibly be the outcome. The Cowboys of Texas are not going to elect Pee Wee herman as their U.S. senator. Brown is ahead of, I guess it's Husted. I don't know much about that Senate race. El Sayed is ahead of Rogers in Michigan. Torick is ahead only by one point of Henson in Iowa. Jackson is ahead by.7 of Collins in Maine. Pappas is ahead of Sunu Sununu by six points in NewSong Hampshire. Peltola is ahead of Sullivan by M. Almost two points in Alaska. Ossoff is ahead by 7.8 points, ahead of Collins in Georgia. And Cooper is ahead now by nine points. I said eight. By nine points ahead of Whatley in North Carolina. In fact, I understand rnc. Ah, has he completely pulled out of that race? Now look, folks, this is not about party.
Christian Values in Politics and the Importance of Voting Democratically
And of course we need to network does not endorse candidates. We do not contribute to candidates or anything like that. But I'm a talk show host encouraging you as Christians to vote your Christian values. And sadly, at this point, the Democrats, whom I affectionately refer to as Demon Crats, the Demon Crat party is offering nothing that a Christian can support. Nothing. Nothing. And so we have got to. We have got to show up to the polls. Now, again, forgive me if I'm being repetition repetitious because I may have said this before, but again, this, this bears repeating. I've only got what, three more weeks before the election takes place. And, we got to not only go to the polls, we got to tell every one of our friends, family members, church members, everybody we know, we got to get them out to the polls and they got to vote their Christian values. Vote their Christian values. Now, let me say this. On September 16th, and I mention the day because I memorialized it because I wanted to remember it, because I'm not one of those people, every time I come before you, probably, in fact, you may have never heard me say, the Lord said this to me. The Lord said that to me. Well, I don't have any doubt that people who would say that say that legitimately. I guess I would have a problem with somebody. Every time I talk to them, they're telling me, you know, some gigantic, gargantuan, earth shattering thing that Lord has told him.
God's Call for Prophetic and Miraculous Intervention in American Politics
again, you know, the Bible says despise not prophecy. But, you know, you can get to a point where you kind of trivialize God speaking to you. So I rarely talk that way, but this is the truth. I woke up on the morning of September 16th and the Lord spoke to me. In fact, was, was speaking to me because, you know, you go to sleep with all kinds of stuff, you know, that you. Stuff you did the day before. I usually try to recite psalms, in my head as I lay down, as sort of as a praise to God. I recite psalms I've memorized. But when you, there are times you wake up and you know, God is just downloading to you. And God was downloading to me and sid this to me, and I will never forget it. And, this is exactly the way I remember it. God said to me, it is time for my people to begin to pray for prophetic and miraculous intervention in the political affairs of America. It is time for my people to pray for my God's prophetic and miraculous intervention in the political affairs of America. Now look, when I say that, you say, I'm sure, Bishop Jackson, I have been praying for that. But you and I both know that the body of Christ as a widespread matter is not praying for God's miraculous intervention. Yeah, we're praying about politics, but often we're reducing our activity to same thing everybody else does. You got to get out and vote. You got to get engaged, you got to get involved. And by the way. All of those things are true. And I don't want to in any way minimize any of that. Okay? I don't want to say, oh, well, you don't need that. Oh, my goodness, yes, you do need that. Faith without works is dead. There's no question about it. But you can't stop there. See, because I said earlier, and I'm finally coming to my point, I said we are at a political disadvantage when it comes to the people who oppose us. They oppose themselves. They just don't know it.
The Political Disadvantage and Moral Strength of Christians Versus Their Opponents
But they oppose God. And I think most of them do know that. But we are at a political disadvantage. And what is the political disadvantage? You and I have morals and ethics that we cannot violate and will not violate because we're children of God. I, said earlier we won't hate. Why? Because we. The love of God has been shed and brought in our hearts through the Holy Spirit. You know, we don't make good haters. Now, people can make you angry. I mean, people can make me angry, you know, and sure, you're going to have run ins with people, that kind of thing, like any other human being. But you and I can't walk around with bitterness and hatred in our hearts. We're just not made that way. We are born again. If anyone be in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away. All things have become new. And all things are of God, who has given us what the ministry of reconciliation. We're not going around hating people. We're going around looking for ways to reconcile with people and to bring people into the fold. Now, we can't reconcile with people by saying you don't believe in Jesus. Oh, okay. Well, I'll join you. No, no, no. It doesn't work that way. You don't believe in Jesus, but he loves you and I love you, and you need to come to him. You need to come to know him. He is the answer.
Ethical Differences in Politics: How Unprincipled Opponents Gain Advantage
So here's the disadvantage we are at. People without, an ethical or moral biblical worldview and vision of life will lie, steal, cheat, commit fraud, and even kill or encourage others to do so in order to get what they want. I mean, we've seen it, right? We, we've seen the people who celebrated when Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Celebrated. We seen the people who said, remember I mentioned, I don't know, was a burger joint or a pizza joint. I probably can find it in my archives where they offered a free beer. It was a beer place. They offered free beer to their customers when Donald Trump was assassinated. Donald Trump gets assassinated, we give a free beer to everybody. And you and I can't do that and won't do that. They're willing to frighten people, intimidate people. They're willing to go to their families, homes and frighten their children. They're willing to accost, people at restaurants and threaten them and make them feel intimidated. You and I, won't do that. We simply won't. But they're willing to cheat. They're willing to steal votes. They're willing to manufacture votes. You and I won't do that.
The Integrity of Christians in Elections Versus Facilitating Illegal Voting
They're willing to facilitate the voting of illegal aliens. And if we had a bunch of people who were on our side who we knew didn't legally have the right to vote, you and I could not facilitate their voting even if it helped us, because we know that that is never going to pass muster with God. And we've got, ultimately we've got to stand before him and give an account. You know, I've said, now look, I've run in several elections and I haven't won any. I guess God had a different plan for me, although I certainly ran out of obedience. Somebody told me the other day, I said, you know, I didn't succeed, I didn't win. Somebody said, no, no, wait a minute. Did you obey God? well, yeah. Well, then you succeeded. And that is the proper way to look at it. But I didn't win any elections. But I made this point. If somebody come to me and said, listen, you're not going to win unless we cheat. If we cheat, we can get you in there. We just have to, just have to lie a little bit, fudge a little bit, cheat a little bit, commit a little bit of fraud. You won't get caught. No problem. We got this covered. nobody will find out. But you'll get, you'll win. My answer would be I'd rather lose.
Choosing Honorable Loss Over Cheating and the Christian Political Disadvantage
I'd rather lose honorably than cheat to win. Why? Because I'm a child of God, and if I cheat to win, that means I don't trust the will of God for my life. I'm going to chart my own course. I'm going to make my own way and forget God. I'm m going to do my own thing. And if I have to lie still, cheat to do it, I'm going to do it. Well, we can't, we as Christians can't do that. But you know what the other side can and, and does M I say I can't lie on a person because I'm in disagreement with them politically. I can't slander them and say things that are false or that I even suspect to be false because I think it's going to hurt them and help me. I can't do that. But they can and they will and they do. That's what I mean when I say you and I are at a political disadvantage because there are things that they will do that we simply cannot and will not do.
The Divine Advantage: Faith, Righteousness, and the Supernatural Power of God
Ah. but here's the advantage that we have. We have the power of God on our side. Greater is he that's in us than he that's in the world. We are more than conquerors through him that loved us. And, you know, we have to be reminded sometime that. I think it's. Psalm 82 says, we are the congregation of the mighty. We're not the congregation of the weak, the decrepit. Let the weak say I'm strong because we're strong in the Lord and the power of his might, even though we might be weaker politically at any given moment, or weak in whatever earthly manner you want to measure it. But our strength comes from God. And that's an advantage that they don't have. They don't have the advantage of faith. They don't have the advantage of righteousness. They don't have the advantage of holiness. They don't have the advantage of the power of God, El Shaddai, the Almighty God. They do not have that advantage. And we do. And we need to start leaning and relying upon the supernatural power of God. We need to ask God to add his super to our natural so that we get a supernatural result.
God's Sovereignty in Governance and the Need for Miraculous Intervention
now, folks, if Christian conservatives are able to hold on to the House and the Senate in this election, that will be a miracle of God, and that will be a statement of God. I'm still on the throne. I am still almighty, and I still govern in the affairs of men. Now, we've got to believe that that's exactly what. Isn't that what Ben Franklin said during the Constitutional Convention? I believe that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall from the sky without his notice, is it possible that an empire can rise without his aid? I believe that too, Brother Ben. I believe that, too.
Praying for Confusion and Defeat Among Enemies and Confronting Societal Ills
And so God told me four things that we need to pray for. God said, I want you to pray for confusion in the ranks of the enemy. You know, God did that for the children of Israel many times, you know, and I went back and was rereading for my devotions, a few days ago, the exodus of the children of Israel out of Egypt and realizing, you know, God didn't send Moses down there and said, well, you negotiate with Pharaoh and you tell him that you need to have a vote. You tell him that you. You need to have a more open and free society. And, and you're going to go lobby the priests of Egypt. No, God said, you go tell him. I said, let my people go. And if he doesn't, he's going to confront the power of almighty God. And, you know, it's time that we say to these politicians in America today, you better turn away from this wickedness. You better turn away from this godlessness. You better turn away from this idolatry. You better turn away from this murdering of unborn babies and this using children in your own little sexually deviant experiments of cutting the genitalia off boys and the breasts off girls and telling somebody they're born in the wrong body. You better cease and desist from this behavior, or you're going to experience the power of almighty God.
Distinguishing Prayer for Intervention from Wishing Harm Upon Opponents
now, let me just say right off the bat, I'm not praying. And we're not praying for anybody to get sick, anybody to die, anybody to be harmed, anybody to have a fatal automobile accident or any kind of ridiculous mess like that. See, because I say that, because you all know better than that. But people in the world who are definitely monitoring the things that I say, that's the first thing they want to Bishop. Then they'll emphasize Bishop. E.W. jackson went on the air and said he wants God to kill people. Look, folks, I know that because they've said that kind of stuff before. He wants God to wipe people out. He wants God to destroy. No, we're not the ones were seeking the destruction of anybody. Remember, it was the now Attorney General, Jay Jones, Attorney General of, Virginia, who mused about the death of, the then speaker of the House. About his. He said if I had. About him murdering. He said, if I had, one bullet and I had Pol Pot, Hitler. And, this brother that he mentioned was then speaker of the House, his name would come to me. He said I would put a bullet in his head. No, no. He said, if I had two bullets and those three people, I'd put two bullets in his head. In other words, I'd forget about Hitler. I'd forget about Pol Pot. I'd kill him. Literally. Folks, I'm not making it up. That's what he said.
The Nature of Psychopathic Thoughts and the Need for God's Intervention
and then he went on to say maybe he would change his mind if his wife saw her children Die in her arms. Now, what kind of monster even thinks that way? And by the way, this is just me. I'm convinced that to elect a person like that, you got to cheat somehow. Because I can't believe that any normal person would elect a person who has those kinds of psychopathic thoughts. And those thoughts are psychopathic thoughts, folks. That's the way a psychopath thinks. Normal people don't think that way. So as far as I'm concerned, we got a psychopath as Attorney General of Virginia. And had the nerve to put it in writing. That's how it got exposed. And, he couldn't deny it. Who thinks like that? Well, I'll tell you who doesn't. Who doesn't think like that? We don't. We don't think like that. So we're not praying for people to die or for people to get cancer or somebody to have. No. Now we're praying that God would intervene in such a magnificent and powerful way that it would be undeniable, that his people would certainly recognize it, and that even the world would have a difficult time explaining how in the world they got. We got from what I just described to you in the polls to a victory in November in a matter of a few short weeks. And I'll tell you what. There's only way, one way we can do it. That's the power of Almighty God. That's it. That's all, folks. Only God can do it.
Praying for Confusion, Despair, and Financial Ruin Among Political Opponents
And we need to pray. So here's the. I said the first thing God told me was pray for confusion in their ranks, that they simply can't get their act together. God told me, pray for diffusion of their morale, that they become disheartened, that they despair, that they become hopeless, that they become depressed, they become disenchanted, that they basically throw up their political hands and just say, you know what? I'm just done. Now, we know not every person is going to do that, but enough do that that it has the desired effect. So God said, pray for their confusion. Pray for their diffusion. And then God said, pray for the refusal of their funders to anyone give them money. Pray that their resources would dry up.
Miraculous Intervention in Virginia Politics and Praying for Financial Discernment
I've said this before, folks. They spent $64 million to pass a referendum in Virginia. And the Supreme Court of Virginia struck it down. The Supreme Court of Virginia is not a conservative court. This is a miracle of God. They struck it down. And they said two things. When they struck it down. They said, number one, you lied to the people of Virginia. Because, remember, that's that Referendum. They said the referendum was called vote for free elections, vote for fair elections. And the result of the referendum was they were going to create 10 Democrat districts and leave one Republican district. They want to redraw the map to make sure that 10 districts were Democrat and one district was Republican. I loved to see that map. That, boy, that thing would have had to have been a Rorschach test. But the Supreme Court of Virginia said, number one, you lied. That's not fair elections. And that's how they sold it. And number two, you didn't follow proper procedure for getting that issue on the ballot. And they struck it down. $64 million spent to pass that referendum. Didn't pass by much, but it did pass, and it's no more, and the money's down the drain. We need to pray that their funders see these things and say, you know what? Why should I give these people my money when they don't know what to do with it? They squander it. They waste it. They spend all this money and lose. And, let's pray that this election sends that message, I mean, to Talarico at one point had six times more money than Paxton. He's catching up now. Six times more money. Let's pray that even this election affirms everything we're praying for and causes people to say, I mean, we spent all this money on El said, we spent all this money on Talarico, and it got us nowhere. It accomplished nothing.
Holding Onto Funds Amidst Election Uncertainty and Seeking Divine Guidance
But even before. Made the money dry up, even before the election in those final. These final weeks, may they say, you know what? I'm holding on to my money because I just. I don't trust this. I don't trust this.
Praying for an Explosive Awakening of Christians to Vote Their Values
So confusion, diffusion and refusal. And then last, God told me to pray for this. Pray for an explosive awakening among the people of God so that all those Christians who are not registered register. All those Christians who are not voting, vote. Folks, if Christians across this country voted our biblical values, America would be, there. There would be no question that America is a nation whose culture is defined by Judeo Christian values. There would be no question. But what stands between where we are now and where I, know God wants us to be? Is the body of Christ standing up for the things that the word of God teaches us to stand for?
The Challenge Ahead and the Power of God in Overcoming Obstacles
So, folks, we got a challenge ahead of us, but praise God. Is anything too hard for the Lord? And the answer is no. I want to remind you this is share a thon time. Our, scripture for Sharathan is 1st Corinthians 16, 13 and 14. Be on your guard, stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong, do everything in love.

That's 877-6-16-2396. Light those phones up, folks, and tell them that you heard it on the podcast, the Awakening podcast with Bishop E.W. jackson. I want to remind you that for a one time gift of $150, we'll send you It's My Turn, which is a compilation of, Brother Don Wildmon's thoughts and wisdom. If you remember, on my program, I filled the slot that he used to have at 12 noon. And every program we pray, a commentary from Brother Don. I love those commentaries and they're all, I don't know whether all of them, but many of them are obviously in this book. It's My turn. for $150, one time gift, we'll send you that. And then for a monthly gift of $30 or more. We'll send you that. It's my turn. We will also send you, the AFA lunch cooler, the little package you can put your lunch in to keep it cool. You know, you cool it off and then it'll keep your food and keep your lunch cool. Because I am a monthly donor. I've already gotten mine, praise God. but it's a nice little gift and for somebody who travels a lot, things like that, man, those are, those are extremely practical, extremely helpful. But even it's just going to work. And you want to take some food with you, but you want to keep it cool. Perfect. just, just a token of our appreciation and our love for you. And again, folks, as I said before, we don't do this for money. We don't do this to get rich. Brother Don Wildmon didn't do it for that reason. We don't do it for that reason. And we don't get rich doing this. We do it because we love God, we love you, we love our country. And we feel called to serve and called to be salt and light, in a nation that desperately needs it. Our country is built on Judeo Christian foundations. And there are those who are trying desperately to rip it away, to rip away those foundations. And we can't allow that to happen.
Debunking the Lynching Hoax and Highlighting the Crisis of Murdered Children
So that's why we're here and we're going to keep doing what we're doing. And thank you all for your support as we do it. Now, there's one other thing that I want to mention and, as we come to the conclusion here, and that is this, I'm sure you all heard, the hoax over the rise of lynching. You know, there, I don't know how many cases there were. Some people said as many as 10, but 10 cases of hangings, apparently, black people and the mainstream media and others jumped to the conclusion that black people were being lynched. So let me just say, number one, it just isn't true. Number one, they found out as they've investigated these cases that there's not a single case in which a black person has been hanged or lynched because of some racist. these things have happened because people have committed suicide, hung themselves. And in one case, the case in Mississippi, where Tassia Fortune was hanged, a m.50 year old black man named Jon Ratcliffe was arrested and charged with her murder. Now, I know people who are all caught up in conspiracy theories. Yeah, but that's, they're just putting him up there, you know, you know, here's What I have to say about that, first of all, it's not true. But secondly, let me say this. Even if this were true, and it's not, but even if it were, folks, go to my website, AmericasForgottenChildren.org AmericasForgottenChildren.org no apostrophe after the A in America. AmericasForgottenChildren.org we have 722 murdered children since the defund the police movement began.
Critique of Political Manipulation and the Historical Hypocrisy of the Democratic Party
Not whatever 10 they were alleging with this. And I think the number, even that number is bogus. 722 innocent children. And you know who they've been murdered by. They've been murdered primarily by young black men marauding through the inner cities of our country, killing and shooting and robbing and raping and doing whatever they want to do. But that's not a big story, see, because you've only got 722 dead children. What's the big deal about that? I mean, folks, I have no patience with this nonsense because the only reason why they make a story like this is to manipulate black people before the election. You got to get out and vote Democrat. Yeah, right, Go out and vote Democrat. Vote for the party that was the party of slavery. Vote for the party that was the party of Jim Crow. Vote for the party that was the party of the Ku Klux Klan. Yeah, yeah, you really, you've heard about these lynchings. Oh, you really gotta go out and vote Democrat now. And they were the ones doing the lynching during the lynching era.
Blatant Manipulation Tactics and the Need for Divine Intervention to Expose Lies
So give me a break. This is nothing but a blatant attempt to manipulate people. This is nothing but an attempt to just use people for their own political purposes. And you know, I'd say once again, I don't know what it's going to take, but I'm going to keep working at it. it's going to take the power of God.
Questioning How Christians Can Support God-Opposed Agendas and Media Manipulation
I mean, it almost might take God standing up in front of people and showing himself and saying, now you dummies, forgive me, forgive me, folks, let me, I retract that. But I mean, how can Christians vote for people who support everything that God is against? How? Well, this is one way you manipulate them. You basically, you know, plow them with all this stupid mess. And you know, you, you, you, you, you prick their emotions and you get them all worked up. Because I had somebody say to me, can you believe that they're lynching people today? And I just thought to myself, oh, brother, I didn't have any facts at that point, but I Just knew there's something wrong with that story. You remember the story of the guy? I don't remember his name. The guy who was the, NASCAR racer and somebody hung a noose in his shop. Ooh, they were out to get him. He happened to be a black guy. Come to find out, these weren't nooses. They were standard equipment in all of the race shops. All the shops had them. And some dummy saw that and thought, oh, oh, oh, somebody put a noose in here. And you got everybody all worked up. Oh, my goodness. Oh, oh, oh, oh. I mean, what is it going to take to wake people up?
Waking Up to Manipulation and Addressing Inner-City Violence versus Fabricated Narratives
You know, I was born during the day, in fact, around 7am on a Sunday morning, as they say. I was born during the day, but it wasn't yesterday. I mean, at what point do we stop allowing people to just manipulate you and trigger you and get you all worked up over nothing with one purpose in mind so they can use you? And then here I come on and say, got 722 dead children in the last five, six years since the defund, the police movement began. These are innocent kids. These are not gang bangers. These are not teens out at 3am in the morning trying to do something they got no business doing. These are innocent children who did nothing, caught in the crossfire. And the crossfire is being created by young black boys in some cases, in many cases now, and young men who don't have any value for life. And they're killing a bunch of black folks. But that's not important because, you know, we got these, we got lynchings going on over here, which is a lie.
Restoring Families and Law, Addressing Inner-City Violence, and the Black Leftist Response
But you see, you can't manipulate people by telling them something's got to give. The family's got to be restored. Law and order's got to be restored. We need more police officers. We got to lock these young kids up who are hell bent. And I don't say that vulgarly, but, or, profanely, but I say that spiritually because that's what's bending them hell, who are hell bent on killing anybody who they think offended them. Or for that matter, just killing for the sake of killing. See, it's so much easier to point the finger out there. Oh, it's the white man. They're out to get us. than it is to say, clean up your own house, get your own house in order, take care of your own family, your own community. Men, stop acting like a bunch of animals and start acting like men and husbands and fathers and start trying to build, Meaningful and productive lives for yourself and for those around you. See? Yeah, you don't say that. Because you know what? The folks, I'm going to give you a little inside scoop. You may, you may have never heard this before, but I'll tell you, people who are in the business I'm in have heard it before. Do you know what the black leftists and what the leftists will say when I say something like that? You're letting white people off the hook.
Critiquing Irresponsible Fatherhood and Self-Destructive Attitudes within the Community
And I'm thinking, what? What does that even mean? How are they on the hook for the fact that you got a bunch of guys running around with baby mamas, as they put it, making babies that they have no interest in taking care of, no interest in being fathers to because they're too busy shooting up the neighborhood, dealing drugs, going, going to jail or dying early. But you can't talk about that because you're letting white people off the hook. Well, as you can see, folks, I just have no patience with it. I really don't. I'm just. Because it is so. Talk about suicide. That kind of attitude is suicidal and self destructive.
The Spiritual Battle Against Evil and the Importance of Putting on God's Armor
And it's about time people shed it. And they're never going to shed it listening to these leftists. Listen to these socialists and Marxists and these demon crats and people like Nikole, Hannah Jones and all these people who just, all they can see is race, race, race, race, race, race, race. And they're completely blind to the truth because they believe the L. Because the truth is we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers and the rules of the darkness of this world against spiritual hosts of wickedness in high places. And therefore, we've got to put on the whole armor of God. Now notice that. Where does it put the responsibility? On the warrior. This is what you're wrestling against. You got to put on your armor. You got to put on the armor of responsibility. You got to put on the armor of faith in God. You got to put on the armor of being willing to work. You've got to put on the armor of taking care of your family. You've got to put on the armor of being a man or being a woman with vision and determination to do something decent and honorable and productive in life.

And I say that because I really mean it from the bottom of my heart, folks.
Addressing National Problems Through Christian Broadcasting and Sharing the Gospel
You know, I know our countries got a lot of problems right now, and the problems are fundamentally spiritual. But I often think this. No matter how bad things might look in the broad cultural sense, what would things be like if it weren't for American Family Radio? How much worse would they be if it weren't for the salt and light that this network is able to project across the country in what, nearly 200 stations? Get the exact number, but, and not to mention now, you can listen to us on your devices. And in that sense, everybody has a radio, right? And a radio station, frankly, right in their pocket. But what would our country be like were it not for the voices of the many wonderful hosts that we have on this network and the programs and all the things that American Family association is doing? I'll tell you just as a personal matter, of course I support American, ah, Family Radio as a listener, right? I'm not only a host, I support American Family Radio as a listener because I believe so strongly in what we are doing. and I tell you, every Christian, really, every Bible believing Christian ought to be. So if you got friends who don't know about American Family Radio or have never heard it, turn them on to us and tell them, well, look, maybe there's not a radio station in your area, but you can go online, you can go on your phone, afr.net and you can listen live to the programming right there. You can listen to the podcast. You can mention Bishop P.W. jackson's got a podcast on American Family Radio that, that you can check out. And of course I'm not the only one. And if I start naming names, I'm going to leave somebody out. But, you know, you can go on afr.net and look at them all.
Biblical Principles for Standing Firm in Faith and Operating in Love
The scripture for standard thon is be on your guard. It's out of 1st Corinthians 16, 13, 14, be on your guard, stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong, do everything in love. And I'll tell you, that's. That's the other thing. There's no question that we operate in love. yeah, we're, we're tough, we're biblical, we're strong on that. But you'll never hear hatred on this. I know we accused of that nonsense by, you know, I won't even justify them or dignified, some of these people by mentioning their names, all that stuff. Those accusations are made. But you and I know that there's nothing expressed from this network but love.
Rejection of God's Truth and the Wisdom Needed to Solve America's Spiritual Problems
But the problem is that people who don't know God and reject God's truth, for them, expressing, the truth is an expression of hatred. But, you know, it's ultimately not us they hate. It's ultimately God they hate. You know, it's just like God told Moses. When the people rebelled against Moses, God said to him, they're not rebelling against you, they're rebelling against me. And that really is the bottom line. But God loves them anyway, and so do we. So I just want to encourage you today and take a, Take a moment here on the podcast. For $150 donation, you get brother Don Wildmon's book, It's My Turn. And, when I was doing daily radio, I was in the slot that brother Don had. And of course, we would always play one of his commentaries. And I'll tell you, I love those commentaries. I'm serious, folks. They were so down home and folksy, but just packed full of wisdom. And, you know, you just listen. You, go, yeah, man, right? You know, you just wish everybody could capture that wisdom. If the whole country captured the wisdom he was expressing, it was wisdom from the word of God. Capture that wisdom.
Support for American Family Radio Through Donations and Special Offers
What a country we would have. I mean, we got a wonderful country now, in spite of all of our problems. But we've got some very serious problems spiritually in America that need to be solved. And it is the wisdom of God that can solve them. He'll also send you that gift for a monthly gift, a pledge of $30 or more. so you pledge $30 or more. We'll send you the. It's my turn and send you, a little packet, the AFA lunch cooler. You know, keep. Keep your, keep your lunch cool. And to tell you the truth, I'm. Look, I am a monthly donor. I'm a contributor to afr. So I've already got my packet and it's. It was A nice gift. I saw. It's my turn. Yeah. I said, I can't. I can't wait to dig into this because I loved hearing those commentaries when I was doing daily radio. So it's share a thon, folks. I would ask you, if you're not a monthly contributor, to become one. If you say, well, Bishop Jackson, that's not really my thing. Maybe you can make that $150 gift. But I'll tell you this, whatever gift you make, if it's not but five bucks or whatever it is, believe me, we have grateful hearts towards you because we're not in this for money.
Gratitude for Listener Support and Prayers in Sustaining Broadcasts for Over 35 Years
Not a single one of us is in this for money. We're in this because we love God, we love our country. We love you, and we're doing the very best we can to serve you as sincerely as we know how. and to be a blessing to you. So. So thank you all for your prayers. Thank you for your support. If you don't want to donate [email protected] you can go to the telephones, 877-616-2396. That's 877-616-2396. I'll try to come back to, that again before I end the podcast. You know, for over 35 years. For over 35 years, folks, you. You all have kept us on the air 35 years, equipping families, proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ. And we can't do it without you. We can't do it without you.
Confronting Anti-Christian Radicals and Their Fleeting Power Versus Eternal Life
So let's make sure, given the circumstances we are in right now, particularly, of course, circumstances have been around since God gave Brother Don the vision, and he gave him the vision to particularly address these circumstances. He probably wouldn't have thought, man, 35 years later, we would be going strong. But these anti Christian, anti God, anti American radicals, would be going strong as well. Now the problem is they can't go strong for very long. You know, the psalm, says, I have seen the wicked in great power and spreading himself like a green bay tree. But when I looked for him, he could not be found. I sought him, and behold, he was not. These people have a shelf life. You and I have eternal life. They have a shelf life. They just don't know it. They don't know that they're on a conveyor. Bait. Conveyor belt to hell. And they don't know we're trying to get them off of it.
Praying for the Salvation of Those Who Reject God's Truth and Engaging in Spiritual Warfare
Unlike them wishing people die and wishing people, celebrating people's death and wanting people to be Assassinated. All this crazy stuff, wicked, evil stuff. Unlike them, we're praying for them to get a revelation and to turn their lives over to Jesus Christ so that they can come to know him and be in heaven with us. And I said many times, you may have heard me say this. I said, I'd rather a person be mad at me now and just. I can't. Bishop E.W. jackson. I, can't stand. Oh, I want to wring his neck. I'd rather people think that way about me now and meet me in heaven. I'm very serious about this, folks. I get emotional about it and meet me in heaven and say to me, man, thank you. Thank you for offending me. Thank you for pricking my conscience. Thank you for telling me what I didn't want to hear, because in doing so, you helped me. I didn't appreciate it then. Oh, boy, I sure do appreciate it now. So that's what this is all about, folks. Yes, we preach against homosexuality because it's against the word of God. But do we want homosexuals to go to hell? No, we want them to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and be saved. And, yes, we're in a pitch battle with those activists who are trying to groom our children and preach this, transgender lie and kill unborn babies and try to make the government God and censor us. Yes, we are in a pitched battle with them, but the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but they are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought under obedience to Jesus Christ. We are not musing or imagining their destruction. We are musing and imagining their salvation.
Political Disadvantage of Conservative Christians and Current Poll Trends
That's why we're different. So let me. Let me come to the first point. I've said this before. If I'm being repetitive, forgive me, but it bears saying. It bears repeating. We are at a distinct disadvantage, politically against our enemies. They may say, well, what do you mean by that? We're at a distinct disadvantage? That sounds kind of, you know, that sounds kind of defeatist. Now, listen to what I'm saying. We are at a distinct disadvantage. The polls right now, the last poll I checked, at least it's been a couple of days. But since I checked, the last real clear average of politics, there is not a single senator who is conservative Christian. I mean, I hate to use the party label, but most of those people fit under the Republican side. So you get what I'm saying? I don't know any of them that fit on the Democrat side. But there is not a single person, on what we would call the conservative or Christian side who is leading in the polls right now. Now, there are races that are close. El Sayed, they say is in a really close race now, but the last time I checked, he was three points ahead. Excuse me, three points ahead. of, I'm going to look this up while we're talking. Three points ahead of his opponent, of his Republican opponent. Talarico was ahead of Paxton. And on and on it goes. Ossoff eight points ahead. M. Cooper in North Carolina. I forget how many points ahead, but he was way out in front. I think he was eight points ahead too. So everywhere I have looked and the real clear average of politics, I'm sure, as you know, it gives you the, average of all the polls. Okay, all the legitimate polls. Now look, I take the polls with a grain of salt, folks. I'm not saying, oh yeah, believe the polls. But what I'm saying is the polls do indicate a trend.
Examining Election Polls and Encouraging Christians to Vote Their Values
But that trend doesn't have to be the final word. So I'm looking at them all now. right now the polls show Talarico ahead by three points in Texas. Now that can't possibly happen, but that can't possibly be the outcome. The Cowboys of Texas are not going to elect Pee Wee herman as their U.S. senator. Brown is ahead of, I guess it's Husted. I don't know much about that Senate race. El Sayed is ahead of Rogers in Michigan. Torick is ahead only by one point of Henson in Iowa. Jackson is ahead by.7 of Collins in Maine. Pappas is ahead of Sunu Sununu by six points in NewSong Hampshire. Peltola is ahead of Sullivan by M. Almost two points in Alaska. Ossoff is ahead by 7.8 points, ahead of Collins in Georgia. And Cooper is ahead now by nine points. I said eight. By nine points ahead of Whatley in North Carolina. In fact, I understand rnc. Ah, has he completely pulled out of that race? Now look, folks, this is not about party.
Christian Values in Politics and the Importance of Voting Democratically
And of course we need to network does not endorse candidates. We do not contribute to candidates or anything like that. But I'm a talk show host encouraging you as Christians to vote your Christian values. And sadly, at this point, the Democrats, whom I affectionately refer to as Demon Crats, the Demon Crat party is offering nothing that a Christian can support. Nothing. Nothing. And so we have got to. We have got to show up to the polls. Now, again, forgive me if I'm being repetition repetitious because I may have said this before, but again, this, this bears repeating. I've only got what, three more weeks before the election takes place. And, we got to not only go to the polls, we got to tell every one of our friends, family members, church members, everybody we know, we got to get them out to the polls and they got to vote their Christian values. Vote their Christian values. Now, let me say this. On September 16th, and I mention the day because I memorialized it because I wanted to remember it, because I'm not one of those people, every time I come before you, probably, in fact, you may have never heard me say, the Lord said this to me. The Lord said that to me. Well, I don't have any doubt that people who would say that say that legitimately. I guess I would have a problem with somebody. Every time I talk to them, they're telling me, you know, some gigantic, gargantuan, earth shattering thing that Lord has told him.
God's Call for Prophetic and Miraculous Intervention in American Politics
again, you know, the Bible says despise not prophecy. But, you know, you can get to a point where you kind of trivialize God speaking to you. So I rarely talk that way, but this is the truth. I woke up on the morning of September 16th and the Lord spoke to me. In fact, was, was speaking to me because, you know, you go to sleep with all kinds of stuff, you know, that you. Stuff you did the day before. I usually try to recite psalms, in my head as I lay down, as sort of as a praise to God. I recite psalms I've memorized. But when you, there are times you wake up and you know, God is just downloading to you. And God was downloading to me and sid this to me, and I will never forget it. And, this is exactly the way I remember it. God said to me, it is time for my people to begin to pray for prophetic and miraculous intervention in the political affairs of America. It is time for my people to pray for my God's prophetic and miraculous intervention in the political affairs of America. Now look, when I say that, you say, I'm sure, Bishop Jackson, I have been praying for that. But you and I both know that the body of Christ as a widespread matter is not praying for God's miraculous intervention. Yeah, we're praying about politics, but often we're reducing our activity to same thing everybody else does. You got to get out and vote. You got to get engaged, you got to get involved. And by the way. All of those things are true. And I don't want to in any way minimize any of that. Okay? I don't want to say, oh, well, you don't need that. Oh, my goodness, yes, you do need that. Faith without works is dead. There's no question about it. But you can't stop there. See, because I said earlier, and I'm finally coming to my point, I said we are at a political disadvantage when it comes to the people who oppose us. They oppose themselves. They just don't know it.
The Political Disadvantage and Moral Strength of Christians Versus Their Opponents
But they oppose God. And I think most of them do know that. But we are at a political disadvantage. And what is the political disadvantage? You and I have morals and ethics that we cannot violate and will not violate because we're children of God. I, said earlier we won't hate. Why? Because we. The love of God has been shed and brought in our hearts through the Holy Spirit. You know, we don't make good haters. Now, people can make you angry. I mean, people can make me angry, you know, and sure, you're going to have run ins with people, that kind of thing, like any other human being. But you and I can't walk around with bitterness and hatred in our hearts. We're just not made that way. We are born again. If anyone be in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away. All things have become new. And all things are of God, who has given us what the ministry of reconciliation. We're not going around hating people. We're going around looking for ways to reconcile with people and to bring people into the fold. Now, we can't reconcile with people by saying you don't believe in Jesus. Oh, okay. Well, I'll join you. No, no, no. It doesn't work that way. You don't believe in Jesus, but he loves you and I love you, and you need to come to him. You need to come to know him. He is the answer.
Ethical Differences in Politics: How Unprincipled Opponents Gain Advantage
So here's the disadvantage we are at. People without, an ethical or moral biblical worldview and vision of life will lie, steal, cheat, commit fraud, and even kill or encourage others to do so in order to get what they want. I mean, we've seen it, right? We, we've seen the people who celebrated when Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Celebrated. We seen the people who said, remember I mentioned, I don't know, was a burger joint or a pizza joint. I probably can find it in my archives where they offered a free beer. It was a beer place. They offered free beer to their customers when Donald Trump was assassinated. Donald Trump gets assassinated, we give a free beer to everybody. And you and I can't do that and won't do that. They're willing to frighten people, intimidate people. They're willing to go to their families, homes and frighten their children. They're willing to accost, people at restaurants and threaten them and make them feel intimidated. You and I, won't do that. We simply won't. But they're willing to cheat. They're willing to steal votes. They're willing to manufacture votes. You and I won't do that.
The Integrity of Christians in Elections Versus Facilitating Illegal Voting
They're willing to facilitate the voting of illegal aliens. And if we had a bunch of people who were on our side who we knew didn't legally have the right to vote, you and I could not facilitate their voting even if it helped us, because we know that that is never going to pass muster with God. And we've got, ultimately we've got to stand before him and give an account. You know, I've said, now look, I've run in several elections and I haven't won any. I guess God had a different plan for me, although I certainly ran out of obedience. Somebody told me the other day, I said, you know, I didn't succeed, I didn't win. Somebody said, no, no, wait a minute. Did you obey God? well, yeah. Well, then you succeeded. And that is the proper way to look at it. But I didn't win any elections. But I made this point. If somebody come to me and said, listen, you're not going to win unless we cheat. If we cheat, we can get you in there. We just have to, just have to lie a little bit, fudge a little bit, cheat a little bit, commit a little bit of fraud. You won't get caught. No problem. We got this covered. nobody will find out. But you'll get, you'll win. My answer would be I'd rather lose.
Choosing Honorable Loss Over Cheating and the Christian Political Disadvantage
I'd rather lose honorably than cheat to win. Why? Because I'm a child of God, and if I cheat to win, that means I don't trust the will of God for my life. I'm going to chart my own course. I'm going to make my own way and forget God. I'm m going to do my own thing. And if I have to lie still, cheat to do it, I'm going to do it. Well, we can't, we as Christians can't do that. But you know what the other side can and, and does M I say I can't lie on a person because I'm in disagreement with them politically. I can't slander them and say things that are false or that I even suspect to be false because I think it's going to hurt them and help me. I can't do that. But they can and they will and they do. That's what I mean when I say you and I are at a political disadvantage because there are things that they will do that we simply cannot and will not do.
The Divine Advantage: Faith, Righteousness, and the Supernatural Power of God
Ah. but here's the advantage that we have. We have the power of God on our side. Greater is he that's in us than he that's in the world. We are more than conquerors through him that loved us. And, you know, we have to be reminded sometime that. I think it's. Psalm 82 says, we are the congregation of the mighty. We're not the congregation of the weak, the decrepit. Let the weak say I'm strong because we're strong in the Lord and the power of his might, even though we might be weaker politically at any given moment, or weak in whatever earthly manner you want to measure it. But our strength comes from God. And that's an advantage that they don't have. They don't have the advantage of faith. They don't have the advantage of righteousness. They don't have the advantage of holiness. They don't have the advantage of the power of God, El Shaddai, the Almighty God. They do not have that advantage. And we do. And we need to start leaning and relying upon the supernatural power of God. We need to ask God to add his super to our natural so that we get a supernatural result.
God's Sovereignty in Governance and the Need for Miraculous Intervention
now, folks, if Christian conservatives are able to hold on to the House and the Senate in this election, that will be a miracle of God, and that will be a statement of God. I'm still on the throne. I am still almighty, and I still govern in the affairs of men. Now, we've got to believe that that's exactly what. Isn't that what Ben Franklin said during the Constitutional Convention? I believe that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall from the sky without his notice, is it possible that an empire can rise without his aid? I believe that too, Brother Ben. I believe that, too.
Praying for Confusion and Defeat Among Enemies and Confronting Societal Ills
And so God told me four things that we need to pray for. God said, I want you to pray for confusion in the ranks of the enemy. You know, God did that for the children of Israel many times, you know, and I went back and was rereading for my devotions, a few days ago, the exodus of the children of Israel out of Egypt and realizing, you know, God didn't send Moses down there and said, well, you negotiate with Pharaoh and you tell him that you need to have a vote. You tell him that you. You need to have a more open and free society. And, and you're going to go lobby the priests of Egypt. No, God said, you go tell him. I said, let my people go. And if he doesn't, he's going to confront the power of almighty God. And, you know, it's time that we say to these politicians in America today, you better turn away from this wickedness. You better turn away from this godlessness. You better turn away from this idolatry. You better turn away from this murdering of unborn babies and this using children in your own little sexually deviant experiments of cutting the genitalia off boys and the breasts off girls and telling somebody they're born in the wrong body. You better cease and desist from this behavior, or you're going to experience the power of almighty God.
Distinguishing Prayer for Intervention from Wishing Harm Upon Opponents
now, let me just say right off the bat, I'm not praying. And we're not praying for anybody to get sick, anybody to die, anybody to be harmed, anybody to have a fatal automobile accident or any kind of ridiculous mess like that. See, because I say that, because you all know better than that. But people in the world who are definitely monitoring the things that I say, that's the first thing they want to Bishop. Then they'll emphasize Bishop. E.W. jackson went on the air and said he wants God to kill people. Look, folks, I know that because they've said that kind of stuff before. He wants God to wipe people out. He wants God to destroy. No, we're not the ones were seeking the destruction of anybody. Remember, it was the now Attorney General, Jay Jones, Attorney General of, Virginia, who mused about the death of, the then speaker of the House. About his. He said if I had. About him murdering. He said, if I had, one bullet and I had Pol Pot, Hitler. And, this brother that he mentioned was then speaker of the House, his name would come to me. He said I would put a bullet in his head. No, no. He said, if I had two bullets and those three people, I'd put two bullets in his head. In other words, I'd forget about Hitler. I'd forget about Pol Pot. I'd kill him. Literally. Folks, I'm not making it up. That's what he said.
The Nature of Psychopathic Thoughts and the Need for God's Intervention
and then he went on to say maybe he would change his mind if his wife saw her children Die in her arms. Now, what kind of monster even thinks that way? And by the way, this is just me. I'm convinced that to elect a person like that, you got to cheat somehow. Because I can't believe that any normal person would elect a person who has those kinds of psychopathic thoughts. And those thoughts are psychopathic thoughts, folks. That's the way a psychopath thinks. Normal people don't think that way. So as far as I'm concerned, we got a psychopath as Attorney General of Virginia. And had the nerve to put it in writing. That's how it got exposed. And, he couldn't deny it. Who thinks like that? Well, I'll tell you who doesn't. Who doesn't think like that? We don't. We don't think like that. So we're not praying for people to die or for people to get cancer or somebody to have. No. Now we're praying that God would intervene in such a magnificent and powerful way that it would be undeniable, that his people would certainly recognize it, and that even the world would have a difficult time explaining how in the world they got. We got from what I just described to you in the polls to a victory in November in a matter of a few short weeks. And I'll tell you what. There's only way, one way we can do it. That's the power of Almighty God. That's it. That's all, folks. Only God can do it.
Praying for Confusion, Despair, and Financial Ruin Among Political Opponents
And we need to pray. So here's the. I said the first thing God told me was pray for confusion in their ranks, that they simply can't get their act together. God told me, pray for diffusion of their morale, that they become disheartened, that they despair, that they become hopeless, that they become depressed, they become disenchanted, that they basically throw up their political hands and just say, you know what? I'm just done. Now, we know not every person is going to do that, but enough do that that it has the desired effect. So God said, pray for their confusion. Pray for their diffusion. And then God said, pray for the refusal of their funders to anyone give them money. Pray that their resources would dry up.
Miraculous Intervention in Virginia Politics and Praying for Financial Discernment
I've said this before, folks. They spent $64 million to pass a referendum in Virginia. And the Supreme Court of Virginia struck it down. The Supreme Court of Virginia is not a conservative court. This is a miracle of God. They struck it down. And they said two things. When they struck it down. They said, number one, you lied to the people of Virginia. Because, remember, that's that Referendum. They said the referendum was called vote for free elections, vote for fair elections. And the result of the referendum was they were going to create 10 Democrat districts and leave one Republican district. They want to redraw the map to make sure that 10 districts were Democrat and one district was Republican. I loved to see that map. That, boy, that thing would have had to have been a Rorschach test. But the Supreme Court of Virginia said, number one, you lied. That's not fair elections. And that's how they sold it. And number two, you didn't follow proper procedure for getting that issue on the ballot. And they struck it down. $64 million spent to pass that referendum. Didn't pass by much, but it did pass, and it's no more, and the money's down the drain. We need to pray that their funders see these things and say, you know what? Why should I give these people my money when they don't know what to do with it? They squander it. They waste it. They spend all this money and lose. And, let's pray that this election sends that message, I mean, to Talarico at one point had six times more money than Paxton. He's catching up now. Six times more money. Let's pray that even this election affirms everything we're praying for and causes people to say, I mean, we spent all this money on El said, we spent all this money on Talarico, and it got us nowhere. It accomplished nothing.
Holding Onto Funds Amidst Election Uncertainty and Seeking Divine Guidance
But even before. Made the money dry up, even before the election in those final. These final weeks, may they say, you know what? I'm holding on to my money because I just. I don't trust this. I don't trust this.
Praying for an Explosive Awakening of Christians to Vote Their Values
So confusion, diffusion and refusal. And then last, God told me to pray for this. Pray for an explosive awakening among the people of God so that all those Christians who are not registered register. All those Christians who are not voting, vote. Folks, if Christians across this country voted our biblical values, America would be, there. There would be no question that America is a nation whose culture is defined by Judeo Christian values. There would be no question. But what stands between where we are now and where I, know God wants us to be? Is the body of Christ standing up for the things that the word of God teaches us to stand for?
The Challenge Ahead and the Power of God in Overcoming Obstacles
So, folks, we got a challenge ahead of us, but praise God. Is anything too hard for the Lord? And the answer is no. I want to remind you this is share a thon time. Our, scripture for Sharathan is 1st Corinthians 16, 13 and 14. Be on your guard, stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong, do everything in love.
Celebrating 35 Years of Listener Support and the Mission of American Family Radio
Praise God, folks. You have helped AFR to exist for over 35 years. 35 years. We are listener supported network. Thank you for giving us the opportunity and for joining us in equipping families and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ, in promoting the truth of God's word all across this nation. Thank you. Thank you. So your donations are going to help keep that going. And it's clear from what I just said to you, we've got to keep it going. That's not. It would be nice. It would be a good thing. No, we must, we must keep it going. And I know that that's the way you all, feel because I meet you all over the country, go places, I listen to you on afr. I wish you were back on Daily. I'm always complimented by that. But I made a decision a few years ago when I ran for, president, to resign my position. and I'm now just doing a weekly podcast and I'm satisfied in my soul with that. I love this network. I'm still here, I'm still supporting in whatever way I can. So thank you all for the compliments. We got a great lineup of hosts and praise God for it.
Supporting American Family Radio Through Donations and Its Vital Role in a Nation Needing Truth
frankly, from my own perspective, I don't think I'd add anything that we don't already have. Be glad to do it. And I substitute a lot, but this is a wonderful network and it deserves all of our support. If you want to donate online, go to afr.net, afr.net and to by phone, go to 877-uh-487-7616, 2396. That's 877-6-16-2396. Light those phones up, folks, and tell them that you heard it on the podcast, the Awakening podcast with Bishop E.W. jackson. I want to remind you that for a one time gift of $150, we'll send you It's My Turn, which is a compilation of, Brother Don Wildmon's thoughts and wisdom. If you remember, on my program, I filled the slot that he used to have at 12 noon. And every program we pray, a commentary from Brother Don. I love those commentaries and they're all, I don't know whether all of them, but many of them are obviously in this book. It's My turn. for $150, one time gift, we'll send you that. And then for a monthly gift of $30 or more. We'll send you that. It's my turn. We will also send you, the AFA lunch cooler, the little package you can put your lunch in to keep it cool. You know, you cool it off and then it'll keep your food and keep your lunch cool. Because I am a monthly donor. I've already gotten mine, praise God. but it's a nice little gift and for somebody who travels a lot, things like that, man, those are, those are extremely practical, extremely helpful. But even it's just going to work. And you want to take some food with you, but you want to keep it cool. Perfect. just, just a token of our appreciation and our love for you. And again, folks, as I said before, we don't do this for money. We don't do this to get rich. Brother Don Wildmon didn't do it for that reason. We don't do it for that reason. And we don't get rich doing this. We do it because we love God, we love you, we love our country. And we feel called to serve and called to be salt and light, in a nation that desperately needs it. Our country is built on Judeo Christian foundations. And there are those who are trying desperately to rip it away, to rip away those foundations. And we can't allow that to happen.
Debunking the Lynching Hoax and Highlighting the Crisis of Murdered Children
So that's why we're here and we're going to keep doing what we're doing. And thank you all for your support as we do it. Now, there's one other thing that I want to mention and, as we come to the conclusion here, and that is this, I'm sure you all heard, the hoax over the rise of lynching. You know, there, I don't know how many cases there were. Some people said as many as 10, but 10 cases of hangings, apparently, black people and the mainstream media and others jumped to the conclusion that black people were being lynched. So let me just say, number one, it just isn't true. Number one, they found out as they've investigated these cases that there's not a single case in which a black person has been hanged or lynched because of some racist. these things have happened because people have committed suicide, hung themselves. And in one case, the case in Mississippi, where Tassia Fortune was hanged, a m.50 year old black man named Jon Ratcliffe was arrested and charged with her murder. Now, I know people who are all caught up in conspiracy theories. Yeah, but that's, they're just putting him up there, you know, you know, here's What I have to say about that, first of all, it's not true. But secondly, let me say this. Even if this were true, and it's not, but even if it were, folks, go to my website, AmericasForgottenChildren.org AmericasForgottenChildren.org no apostrophe after the A in America. AmericasForgottenChildren.org we have 722 murdered children since the defund the police movement began.
Critique of Political Manipulation and the Historical Hypocrisy of the Democratic Party
Not whatever 10 they were alleging with this. And I think the number, even that number is bogus. 722 innocent children. And you know who they've been murdered by. They've been murdered primarily by young black men marauding through the inner cities of our country, killing and shooting and robbing and raping and doing whatever they want to do. But that's not a big story, see, because you've only got 722 dead children. What's the big deal about that? I mean, folks, I have no patience with this nonsense because the only reason why they make a story like this is to manipulate black people before the election. You got to get out and vote Democrat. Yeah, right, Go out and vote Democrat. Vote for the party that was the party of slavery. Vote for the party that was the party of Jim Crow. Vote for the party that was the party of the Ku Klux Klan. Yeah, yeah, you really, you've heard about these lynchings. Oh, you really gotta go out and vote Democrat now. And they were the ones doing the lynching during the lynching era.
Blatant Manipulation Tactics and the Need for Divine Intervention to Expose Lies
So give me a break. This is nothing but a blatant attempt to manipulate people. This is nothing but an attempt to just use people for their own political purposes. And you know, I'd say once again, I don't know what it's going to take, but I'm going to keep working at it. it's going to take the power of God.
Questioning How Christians Can Support God-Opposed Agendas and Media Manipulation
I mean, it almost might take God standing up in front of people and showing himself and saying, now you dummies, forgive me, forgive me, folks, let me, I retract that. But I mean, how can Christians vote for people who support everything that God is against? How? Well, this is one way you manipulate them. You basically, you know, plow them with all this stupid mess. And you know, you, you, you, you, you prick their emotions and you get them all worked up. Because I had somebody say to me, can you believe that they're lynching people today? And I just thought to myself, oh, brother, I didn't have any facts at that point, but I Just knew there's something wrong with that story. You remember the story of the guy? I don't remember his name. The guy who was the, NASCAR racer and somebody hung a noose in his shop. Ooh, they were out to get him. He happened to be a black guy. Come to find out, these weren't nooses. They were standard equipment in all of the race shops. All the shops had them. And some dummy saw that and thought, oh, oh, oh, somebody put a noose in here. And you got everybody all worked up. Oh, my goodness. Oh, oh, oh, oh. I mean, what is it going to take to wake people up?
Waking Up to Manipulation and Addressing Inner-City Violence versus Fabricated Narratives
You know, I was born during the day, in fact, around 7am on a Sunday morning, as they say. I was born during the day, but it wasn't yesterday. I mean, at what point do we stop allowing people to just manipulate you and trigger you and get you all worked up over nothing with one purpose in mind so they can use you? And then here I come on and say, got 722 dead children in the last five, six years since the defund, the police movement began. These are innocent kids. These are not gang bangers. These are not teens out at 3am in the morning trying to do something they got no business doing. These are innocent children who did nothing, caught in the crossfire. And the crossfire is being created by young black boys in some cases, in many cases now, and young men who don't have any value for life. And they're killing a bunch of black folks. But that's not important because, you know, we got these, we got lynchings going on over here, which is a lie.
Restoring Families and Law, Addressing Inner-City Violence, and the Black Leftist Response
But you see, you can't manipulate people by telling them something's got to give. The family's got to be restored. Law and order's got to be restored. We need more police officers. We got to lock these young kids up who are hell bent. And I don't say that vulgarly, but, or, profanely, but I say that spiritually because that's what's bending them hell, who are hell bent on killing anybody who they think offended them. Or for that matter, just killing for the sake of killing. See, it's so much easier to point the finger out there. Oh, it's the white man. They're out to get us. than it is to say, clean up your own house, get your own house in order, take care of your own family, your own community. Men, stop acting like a bunch of animals and start acting like men and husbands and fathers and start trying to build, Meaningful and productive lives for yourself and for those around you. See? Yeah, you don't say that. Because you know what? The folks, I'm going to give you a little inside scoop. You may, you may have never heard this before, but I'll tell you, people who are in the business I'm in have heard it before. Do you know what the black leftists and what the leftists will say when I say something like that? You're letting white people off the hook.
Critiquing Irresponsible Fatherhood and Self-Destructive Attitudes within the Community
And I'm thinking, what? What does that even mean? How are they on the hook for the fact that you got a bunch of guys running around with baby mamas, as they put it, making babies that they have no interest in taking care of, no interest in being fathers to because they're too busy shooting up the neighborhood, dealing drugs, going, going to jail or dying early. But you can't talk about that because you're letting white people off the hook. Well, as you can see, folks, I just have no patience with it. I really don't. I'm just. Because it is so. Talk about suicide. That kind of attitude is suicidal and self destructive.
The Spiritual Battle Against Evil and the Importance of Putting on God's Armor
And it's about time people shed it. And they're never going to shed it listening to these leftists. Listen to these socialists and Marxists and these demon crats and people like Nikole, Hannah Jones and all these people who just, all they can see is race, race, race, race, race, race, race. And they're completely blind to the truth because they believe the L. Because the truth is we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers and the rules of the darkness of this world against spiritual hosts of wickedness in high places. And therefore, we've got to put on the whole armor of God. Now notice that. Where does it put the responsibility? On the warrior. This is what you're wrestling against. You got to put on your armor. You got to put on the armor of responsibility. You got to put on the armor of faith in God. You got to put on the armor of being willing to work. You've got to put on the armor of taking care of your family. You've got to put on the armor of being a man or being a woman with vision and determination to do something decent and honorable and productive in life.
