Bishop says he is not giving up on the fight for America

I was talking to one of my fellow hosts, Pastor Jeff Schrieve. I was a guest on his program last week. And before we got on the program, we were talking about the fact that we seem to be busier. And I said, you know, a lot of things. I mean, folks, I think I've shared this with you. I'm a shooter. I like to shoot. I don't think I've been out to shoot in six months because my schedule has been so busy. and look, I am not giving up. I am not backing down. I am not letting up, not one bit. Thank God for health and strength and the ability to do the things I do. but I've said before, folks, and I know you shared the sentiment with me, if I have to be the. If I had to be the last one standing up for that flag, the last one standing up for our Constitution institution, the last one standing up for the Judeo Christian values upon which our whole society is built. I will do it until I breathe my dying breath. But I will never give up. I will never give in. I will never back down. I will continue to fight the good fight of faith, knowing that we win. Jesus Christ has already won the battle for us. Why in the world would I give up? Why in the world would I become deflated and discouraged and depressed and in despair? Oh, then, things are so bad. No, no. There is resurrection power in us as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. And no matter how Far down we seem to be, the situation is never too far gone for God, and there's nothing too hard for him. So I remain eternally optimistic and hopeful. You know, people sometimes ask me, they say, well, you know, you know what the outcome is. You know, that the world is going in the direction of sin and Satan and, and why even bother? Why get involved? And I say, well, that may be true, but still, don't you want your family to be on the right side? Sure you do. Well, likewise, you ought to want your country to be on the right side. I want America to be a sheep nation. I want America to be a nation whose God is the Lord. I want America to be a nation who God looks upon with pleasure. And I also say this. If God was willing to spare Sodom and Gomorrah, as wicked as those cities had become, and in some ways, frankly, there are forces in our country that very much want America to become Sodom and Gomorrah. But if he was willing to spare those cities, if there were just 10 righteous people there. Don't you know that there are millions of people across this country who are sincerely crying out to God they're sincere disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that we are praying and fasting and seeking God's face? You think God is just going to ignore us? No, I really believe God will save this nation, even if it's only by a remnant. So while I want the majority to come alongside us and agree with us and say, yes, righteousness exalts a nation, sin is a reproach to any people, and that when the righteous are in authority, the people can rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people mourn. I want the whole country to agree with me on that. I certainly want. A majority would agree with me on that. But even if they don't, the grace and the mercy of God could be extended to our nation and by the way, has been extended to our nation, because there is a faithful remnant crying out to him. You know, Isaiah 1, chapter 1, verse 9 says this. Unless the Lord of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we would have become like Sodom. We would have been made like Gomorrah. In other words, God would have destroyed us. But there was a very small remnant, and that small remnant was enough for God to continue to show his mercy. And I believe that the same is true for us. I don't believe that God's about to destroy America. I don't believe that God's about to judge America in the Sense that people are thinking some cataclysmic thing happens to our country and we go down. Because I'm here, you're here, and millions across this nation are here. Whose who had the doorposts of our hearts marked by the blood of Jesus Christ. And I really believe that because of that, our families, our communities, our country is being extended mercy to God that in some ways, America doesn't deserve. In some ways, I mean, and, you know the ways. I mean, we kill 1.2 million babies every single year by the, by the vicious, murderous practice of abortion. We are, we have our schools redefining gender as God designed it and, and created it, male and female. They're telling you, we got six, we got 20, we got 120. Hey, can I. Do I hear 150? I mean, that's the, that's the, the madness. And it is rank rebellion against God. But, but there are truth tellers here. This network is one of the places where you have truth tellers. We're not the only ones. I know that, but in terms of a radio network, I don't know a better one in America, do you? I don't know a better radio network in America that is more committed to telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help us God. So thank you. Look again.

John 8:32 says the truth makes you free from lies

There's always a lot in the news, but today I want to share with you something that, has been on my heart. I've been thinking about this for some time, and this may well end up being a sermon, but the Lord laid something on my heart that you may have heard me say before. You know, when Jesus says in Jon 8:32, and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. I've said, well, if the truth makes you free, then lies put you in bondage. I mean, the corollary of that must be true, or the positive statement itself has no meaning. In other words, it doesn't make sense to say the truth makes you free, but then to say, well, lies have no effect, although the truth makes you free. From what? Well, free from, the bondage of lies. Lies that, that capture people in sin and lock them down in degradation and degeneracy and depravity. The truth sets people free because the lies of the devil put people in bondage to him and to sin. Let me read that entire passage for you, and then I want to talk a little bit about the, the implications of this for a few moments. Jon, chapter eight, beginning at verse 31, I'll go all the way to verse 36. Because verse 36 is an important do, to sort of capture the entire thought. Jesus said to those Jews who believed in, if you will abide in my word, you are my disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth. The truth shall make you free. They answered him, we are Abraham's descendants and have never been in bondage to anyone. Well, that's a lie. But they said. That's what they said. The Bible's telling the truth about what the baby said, but what they said was a lie. How can you say you will be made free? Jesus answered to them, assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And as a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a Son abides forever. Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. Now, let me just, explain something to you. I don't have time, to teach this entire passage, but that phrase, whoever commits sin, that doesn't mean. That word doesn't apply specifically. Whoever does any sin, whoever sins, because every single one of us sin. We do not live perfect lives before God striving for that. We're not there yet. But what this means is, whoever is committed to a life of sin, that makes you slave to sin. Whereas instead of being committed to a life of righteousness committed to a slave, you are a slave of sin. Jesus said, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. You all have heard my testimony about cursing, and I'm not trying to be holy. Now, about people who slip up and say something I have no business saying God miraculously took cursing from me. He miraculously said that we be free from it. I haven't uttered a curse word since 1976. It's not because. Look at me, everybody. I am so holy. I'm so righteous. Believe me. God forbid. Okay, God forbid. I'm striving to be holy. My heavenly Father, as my Lord and Savior is holy. I'm striving to be. I'm, striving to live up to the righteousness that Christ has given me as his fruit gift in my spirit. I'm striving to make sure my mind, my m will, my emotions, my body, everything conforms to his standard of righteousness because he is the righteousness of God. Christ Jesus is the righteousness of God. And he never trusts me. So I'm striving to meet that standard. But I know I don't need it perfectly. But, But I tell you what, I'm not committed to Sin anymore. That's not my life anymore. I'm not a slave of sin anymore because Jesus Christ has set me free. when I was cursing, I cursed out of habit. The devil taught me well, but Jesus set me free.

Every system that man creates based on lies is ultimately a slave system

Okay, well, look, so I say to many times, if there's a lie, if the truth sets you free, then the lies put you in bondage. And you know, this is what Satan has been doing from the beginning of his rebellion. Think about this. Satan must have told the angels that it's a lie. God is holding you down. God is holding you back. If you follow me, instead of following God, I set you free. And he must have told him that because it was a perfect environment. But what was there to complain about? Well, Satan had one complaint, that he wasn't running it, that he wasn't in charge. But he took that, spun that into something he could sell to the angels. And a third of them bought a lie. You're going to be much, much better off with me. And what he really ended up doing was putting those angels in bondage. To him, they were living in absolute perfection and beauty. They were free, as free as any angel can be free. But now that they're in bondage, Satan, a vicious, cruel master who wants them to share with him. And whatever the fate is God ultimately has for them, which we know is eternal damnation, he wants every single one of them to share that fate with him, if that is indeed the fate that they must share. And I say from his perspective, I think he's eluded enough to think that somehow he can avoid this. We know he won't and he can't. He is going to spend eternity in hell and the lake of fire and all the demonic hosts that follow with him and every human being that is redacted to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, is going to be right there with him. Everybody following the devil, including first those rebellious angels, now demons. Every single one of them is in bondage to secede. They were free before, now they're in bondage because they bought the lie. And the lie did what? It put Adam into slavery. And he repeats that scenario with Adam and Eve. He comes into the garden, tells Eve, you know, you're not free. God's got you locked down. God doesn't want you to be all that you can be. He sold that lie to eve. And Genesis 3, 5 says, God knows Satan. This is Satan talk. But God knows, the day you eat of it, your eyes will be open and, and you will be like God, knowing well you know, you say 80 dummies, you're already made in the image of likeness and God. They're already made in the image of likeness, God and the likeness of God. They're already like God. They're not God, but they're already God's children, God's creation. They were already made to be like him. No, no, no. God's holding you back. Satan says that if you'll never truly be who you're supposed to be by listening to God. Sound familiar? To be truly free, you must reject God's command and, go your own way. And they went along and disconnected from God, connected to Satan and became Satan's little apes. Look, they lost their eternal destiny. They lost the garden, they lost the blessing, they lost the dominion that they have. Everything God gave them, they lost and turned everything over to the devil. See, every lie that man creates, every system that man creates based on lies is ultimately a slave system. Let me say that again, that's worth repeating. Every system that man creates based upon lies is a slave system. No matter what you call it, it's a slave system. Marxist, communist, socialist systems are nothing but glorified slave systems. That's all they are and everything that's grown out of them. Liberation theology, black liberation theology. This is a direct outgrowth of Marxism, but they don't liberate anybody. They enslave people. Because liberation theology is based on a lie that salvation is not about. Jesus Christ is dying on the cross to save you from sin and hell and damnation. it's about, you being liberated from the oppressive systems that created social injustice. Liberation theology is strictly a work of the flesh. And the people who believe, that said, believing the gospel, are going to die and bust hell wide open. And they die in that mess. So they're not, they're not liberating anybody. They are enslaving people and condemning people to hell to the boot. And all of these systems fail to recognize that it's a problem in the Jew enemy. Because all of these systems, what they tend to do, they tend to create a villain. A, human villain for people to focus their bitterness, their anger, their hatred, their venom against and say, this is a problem. It's the Jews. Karma is a visual. The owners of the means of production, the capitalists. Okay, you could go right down the line with monarchies or warlords. It's whoever is trying to go to Pete, give them power. They have problem, with, today's modern leftists, these democratic socialists, you want to call them that they, really just, to me, they are just the next evolutionary phases of the Demon Bet Party or the Democratic Party. They really are. I mean, who were they kidding? Democratic Party has been moving in this direction for a long time now. Citizens really, in the 1960s. So now here we are and just being exposed for what it is. Some of them are trying to back away from it. Many. But some are trying to back away from it because they know the American people don't want it, that they're offering. The American people don't want to subvert the Constitution. They don't want to do away with the Supreme Court. They don't want to do away with the United States Senate. They don't want to do away with the presidency. They don't want to turn all of the governance of our country over, which is a single politico that will make all the decisions. They don't want that. That's the definition of tyranny, folks. And American people don't want it. So I think some Democrats are saying, you know, you're exposed a little too much, a little bit too soon. We wish you could just back off and not tell people so much. But these people who are telling us what they really think are exposing lies that they believe. And those lies are exactly what will put people in bondage. They buy into them. And, all of that fails to recognize the problem.

All these ideologies say the problem is the billionaires. 

Because, look, all these ideologies say the problem is the billionaires. The problem is the politicians. The problem is white people. The problem is the capitalist. The problem is big tech. The problem is party or whatever. But they did not talk about problem because Ephesians 6, 11:12 says, for we do not wrestle against flesh, ash and blood, but against precedent policies, against power, against the rules for the darkness of this world, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. That's the real issue. And there is no liberation apart from that that does not understand that. That does not understand this is the truth. The true slave master is Satan. The true oppressor is Satan. Now, of course, he will use people who are willing to cooperate with him, whether they do so consciously or not, knowing that he's the one behind it or not. Karl Marx was demon possessed. And all the other people that we hear them name, you know, Mao Zedong and, Pol Pot and Ho Chi Minh and your sister Stalin and Fidel Castro and Che Guevara and, and Nicolas Medoros and Hugo Chavez, all these people. That is great socialist. Oh, Alexandria Ocajo Cortez. Now she hasn't killed anybody because she didn't have the power to do that thing in the United States of America. But I'll tell you what, the ideology she believes and she believes in, they have to the tune of maybe 100 million people. 65 million under the MAO, 25 million at a minimum. Understal and probably more. Who knows how many millions under these other brutal dictators, Kim Il Sung and Del Castro, the henchman, Che Guevara and hope achievement in and, and all goes how many millionaires? Again, I'm not saying that Alexandria or Casa Cortez has done these things, but I'm saying the ideology she believes in and the people who she seeks to follow because we had. I don't know what did you saw? I'll clip it with one. The Democratic socialists talking about. Yeah, I read Mao and yeah I read Castro and yes, I want to understand. Anyone want to say some nonsense? Sounds sophisticated. It just sounds. I, I read the writings of killers because I want to know how to better than kill. That's what they were. They were killers. They were not legitimate leaders in any sense of the word. They were mass murderers. But Satan is the true slave master. Not all these other groups of people. They want to point finger at me. We just, we just get rid of them. Let's get rid of the Jews, just get rid of old white men, whatever they come. What stupid mess is this wicked evil message they can come up with? Just take care of that, all will be well. Now look, capitalism folks, is not inherently Christian. Okay? When I say that, I say there's nothing in, capitalism that requires anybody to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Which suggests that if you don't believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, you cannot be a good capitalist. But capitalism is rooted in the truth of God's design for creation. God made us his image. That means God made us to be free. He made us to be creative. He made us to have dominion over the earth and he made us to be moral agents with a fixed set of standards given to us by Him. Human beings are designed to pursue our God given gifts and talents and abilities and to own or have dominion over the benefits and the product of those talents and gifts and abilities when put to use. I mean, miracle of the miracle. The power of the talent makes that clear. We are entitled to benefit from the results of our labor, our creativity, our gifts. You know, a favorite verse of George Washington was Micah 4, 4 which says, everyone shall sit down under his own vine, under his own fig tree, and no one shall mimic Them afraid for the mouth of the Lord and of host has spoken. God gives us the right ownership. This Marxist ideology takes that right away. And in doing so it violates the very nature of human beings. Because remember when God spoke these sayings to us, When God told them to be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth and have dominion over the fish, into the sea, over the birds of the air and over everything creeping thing that accrete upon the earth. And when we later told that God gave in Solomon, God gave mankind dominion over all the works of his hands. When God speaks to us, he also speaks into us. So when God told Adam and ultimately Eve had dominion, he wasn't, simply saying something to them, he was imparting something into them. He was establishing their very nature. And capitalism recognizes that nature. Marxism denies that nature. Because of course Marxism is atheistic. So it's built on a lie. All system based on lies. All systems based on lies. With people in bondage, they are slave systems. Now look, lies are Satan's stock and trade. We're made in the image and likeness of God. But Satan says you're an animal that finds out of the cosmic ood you evolve out of a tap. God gave us his word to follow those absolute truths. Satan says there is no absolute truth of morality. Follow your feelings. Your feelings are quote unquote your truth. This is my truth. You know, God says he is the only true and living God. But Satan says there are many gods. By the way, you can be God or God yourself. You remember Sheila Clayne? She would wake up in the morning and she would look up in the mirror and say, I am God. I am God. I am God. Lord help us over Wintry today says, practice positive inner dialogue. That's another verse. Be your own God, dictate your own life, practice your own inner. In fact, he had the minute to say, jesus did not die on the cross for your sins. Jesus died to show you the Christ consciousness in you and to show you your inner divinity. Now what is that but saying you could be God yourself for the left? You're a victim of society. You're a victim of social injustice. You're not responsible, for your own decisions, actions.

Democrats say, all you have to do is join the pursuit of social justice

You are a victim of society. That's Marxist in its core. So all you have to do is join the pursuit of social justice and you'll be liberated. See, these are all lies that are dead to nothing but is saved people. So they tell you you need to take heed to defending who you're talking to. Take Heed to Karl Marx, Mao to hold Castro aoc, Democratic Socialist Democratic Party, Tucker Carlsen, candidate Owens. And you will be set free. They will liberate you from the oppression capitalism, the Jews, white people, Christianity. Now, they don't all share exactly the same ideologies, but they all share in propagation of lies. They may be somewhat different lies with, Tucker Carlsen and Ken Sorens and the son piker, the ally is that the Jews are the problem in the world today. That's a lie out of the pit of hell. So the just be who you really are. Follow your feelings, come out as a homosexual. Your ability to be fulfilled. Declare yourself to be male, even though you were born with the X chromosome and female, sexual organs. Okay, you declare yourself a man because then you'll really be fulfilled. you really are man. You just born in a woman's body, by the way, or vice versa. Clear yourself a woman because you know you're not really a man. You're just more than a man's value you really want. And if you don't do these things, if you don't declare, you don't get hormones, you don't get operations, you're gonna kill yourself. You're gonna be miserable because you're not being who you really are. Well, how about this one? Kill your unborn baby. It will be liberating. It will set you free. Sacrifice your unborn baby for the good of your career, the good of your convenience, good of your own sense of who you are. You all remember, Myshel Wolfe is not that famous, but she, she was a comedian, who wrote for the late night, show. And she said, quote, you know how my abortion made me feel very powerful. I walked out of there being like, move over, Morgan Freeman. I am God. Stevie Nicks, singer for Fleetwood Mac, said that her abortion allowed Fleetwood Mac to achieve their biggest success. Had she not killed her unborn baby, Cleveland, that would not have been successful, but this would. Basketball. Steph Curry. Don't get me started on professional sports, but Steph Curry, I used to think was a Christian because he said he was. I'm always excited when celebrities come out as Christians because I know they have a lot of influence and I want people influence. The gospel of Jesus Christ. I don't believe Steph Curry is a Christian. I believe he may be deluded and think he is, but I don't believe me. Steph Curry came out after his mother wrote this beautiful book talking about the fact that she was about to abort. If she was sitting in a planned parenthood office about the baby. That lady became Steph Curry, and she had changed her heart. She wrote a book about her life. She told the story. She said in the book, quote, God had a plan for that child. There could have been no Stephan if I'd had the abortion. Steph Curry claiming to be a good Christian, as I said, he supported Kamala Harris because. And by the way, Hillary Clinton, because of the right to abort is a high priority on his list, and he would not want women to be deprived of the right to abort. His mother confessed the fact that God told her, don't kill this baby. Because God not only has a plan of step curve, he has a plan, he has a split of every baby that is conceived. So, in other words, you can interpret this way to accept very same baby. And my mother almost killed me in the womb. But I wouldn't let that right taken away from women who might want to be cured. On 1 ABCs 2M. This is just rank confusion, because that's what lies do. Lies put people in bondage. And then the further down you go down that rabbit hole of lies, the more in bondage you become, you become wrapped up, tied up, entangled, in a web of lies. And people become saved to ideological lies, slaves to spiritual lies, slaves to spiritual, slaves to sexual sin, and slaves to those who provide them the approval that they're really looking for. That's what David Curry is. He's a slave to people who pat him on the back for supporting the killing of unborn babies. He was almost one of those babies killed, which does make a bit of sense. But he'll get the pat on the back from the Democrats, and he'll get the pat on the back from. From misguided m. Americans of African ancestors say, oh, man, you are really showing how black you are. Because even though 40% of the babies aborted are black, and even though black people constitute only 13% of the population, this is really good things happening. Killing all these unborn black babies is a wonderful thing, and you are down with it. Steph, we like you. And I could just see the spiritually, the blood of unborn babies on every basketball he touches. Yeah, I said it because this is the truth. Spiritually, the blood of those unborn babies is on his hands because he supports it, encourages it, supports people who support it. How much money did he give to Kamala Harris? How much money did he give to Hillary Clinton, whose mouths are just dripping like vampires with their enthusiasm for fitting on unborn babies? Look, one of the most diabolical tricks Satan has ever played on Americans is to convince us, as Isaiah 5 says, that wrong and is right, Right is wrong. That evil is good, good is evil. That darkness is light, light is darkness. That bitterest, sweetest, bitter, making people wise in their own eyes and imprudent in their own sight, so that they not only sin, but they want to be applauded for. And they break their arms patting themselves on the back, doing the most abominable, disgusting, sinful things you could ever imagine. By the way, among those diabolical tricks and lies that Satan has told while people all over our country are in bondage to sin because of these lies, Satan has convinced people that the most important thing, it's not the bondage that people are into sin and slavery, enslavement, to sin and to Satan today is the bondage that entered 161 years ago in 1865. Yeah, that's what we got to be focused on. Even though there's not a single person alive today who was ever in bondage and not a single person alive today who ever held anybody in bondage in America, that's what we got to be focused on. That's got, that's our main concern, our main issue. it's the classic bait and switch, folks. Hey, look at this shiny object over here. Look, look at, look at, look at this. Boy, this is terrible, isn't it? Look, look, just look at slavery. And here you are, you got millions of people in bondage today to sin. They're enslaved. And by the way, folks, I don't mind saying just as much as people were enslaved in bondage throughout human history, I mean, were enslaved physically. Are, people enslaved spiritually and emotionally and psychologically today? Why do you think the suicide rate is so high? Because Satan puts you in bondage and people looking for a way out and they think it's like every other lie that they bought from Satan. They think killing themselves is somehow going to get them out of the trouble they're in. Look, God's perspective on American slavery is very different than what the left and journalism and M History books that colleges and universities promote. Because God has an eternal perspective on all of this rather than this temporary perspective that people have.

God ​is ​concerned ​about ​the ​spiritual ​reality ​of ​your ​life

And somehow I want to bring all that stuff right into the present and act like, he descended yesterday. I mean, people running around acting like they themselves were in slavery. We're still experiencing the vestiges of slavery. How, How? Give me a break. I dare say to the extent that black folks are enslaved. They're enslaving themselves. All the psychological and emotional baggage they want to carry around because it gives them an excuse for not taking authority and responsibility for their own lives. God's perspective is his eternal perspective. First Corinthians 7, verses 21 through 22 say the following. Were you called while as a slave? Do not be concerned about it, but if you can be made free, rather use it. In other words, the point is not your status. The point is what you want to do for God. For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord's freedman. Likewise, he who is called while free is Christ's slave. God is concerned about the spiritual reality of your life rather than just the physical reality of it. And then Galatians 3:27 29 says, for as many of you were baptized as Christ has put on Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek. There is neither slave nor free. There's neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ, then you, Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise. In other words, even if you are in slavery, you are still an heir. You, if you are in Christ, you are still an heir of, Abraham. And what did God promise? Abraham? Promise? Abraham is essential to the world through Christ Jesus because that's what we inherit. We inherit everything. The cosmos. He said, all that the Father has is mine. I show it to you. In other words, when I present it to you as my gift to you. That's why the Bible says we will reign with him. Over what? Over everything. Now, God never said that slavery was morally acceptable or that it was right for one human being to own another human being. But given the state of humanity in our fallenness, God put the emphasis on man's eternal destiny rather than some sort of prerequisite that a fallen man was going to create a, perfectly righteous and just society. God told his people, you be righteous and just, no matter what your state, no matter what your condition. You represent me, no matter what the situation. I told you all. maybe I didn't tell you, but there is a story. Steven Baldwin, member of the Baldwin family, you know, Alec Baldwin. And, I forget the other one's name, but, Steven Baldwin is saved, filled with the Holy Spirit, serving God. And he got saved by his maid. And he said he tells the story of. And I may be paraphrasing a little bit because it's been a while since I've heard him tell it, but he tells the story of, of him saying to his, wow, aren't you really glad that, you know, you've now come to America? You get to work for a family, we have a beautiful home. You get to, you get to live, in a way, just kind of sharing with her. I mean, this must really be exciting. And she turned everything around and said, what, was most exciting is the fact that I get to witness to you and tell you about Jesus Christ and help get you and your family saved. What? Apparently she was bold. And you know what she did? Steven Baldwin and his wife got saved. Filled with the Holy Spirit. on born Again. See, the left would look at that maid said, you're the maid. You're oppressed. Steven Baldwin is your oppressor. God is looking at her and saying, you're my ambassador, but for salvation to this family. Now you tell them about me because in reality, you're richer than they are. And in reality you've got more than they have. They don't know it, but, you do because you have the eternal riches. You are an heir of God and a joint heir with heir with Christ. And right now they're in bondage to the devil and don't know it. Hallelujah. See, so God is more concerned about our spiritual condition. Not that he's not concerned, mind you. I'm not saying he doesn't care about people and whatever earthly suffering they're going through, but he's more concerned about their spiritual condition because that's eternity in balance. And I'll tell you what, eternity is a lot longer than the, what, 70 to 110 or 115 years? I might live that long, that people are going to get on this earth. Second Corinthians 4, verses 17 and 18, says, for our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. Now, that means even if you were in slavery, and it is been over 161 years, but even if you were, God wants you to see yourself as free in him and be it, ah. And seek to be used by him to be a blessing to others. That's what Uncle Thom's Cabin was all about. It was about a man who was in slavery, who was in God's sight, more important and more powerful than an enslaved master, Simon Legree, because God was using him to try to get Simon Legree slavery, saved. While Simon Legree thought he had control, he had power. And people, some of the other slaves are saying to Uncle Thom was apparently a big powerful man, said, why don't you just kill him for what he's doing to you? And his answer was, because when I got, I die, I'm going to heaven, but if he dies, he's going to hell. And I don't want that for him or for any other human being. Wow. While who was really free? Simon Legree or Uncle Thom? Now, look, the affliction of slavery has been experienced by every group of people, every demographic, all over the world since the fall of man. Let me give you a fact that you may not be aware of. Did you know that the African country of Mauritania is called the Islamic Republic of Mauritania? These countries have become Muslim. Did you know? They just outlawed slavery for the first time in 1981? 1981. But that, by the way, they outlawed it on paper, but the part provided no penalty for anybody who was enslaved with another human being. So they did it for all practical purposes. It was just a joke. It was something for the world. And then in 2007, they added criminal penalties to it. But guess what? Those net penalties are never enforced because the whole slave system is controlled by Muslims who control the society as well. And it's so deeply ingrained in their culture that is still operating today. If you are a member of the Harrison ethnic group, they call them the Black Moors, you are born into slavery. If your mother was a slave, you are born into slavery. And by the way, there's almost no way of getting out of it. The only way, real way of getting out of slavery. If you were in the slave class in Mauritania today, the only way of really getting out of it is you have to escape Mauritania. And the slave masters, by the way, are Arabs and Berbers, who are the descendants of the people who pioneered the African slave trade. Now, once again, folks, let me just say this because this is so important for people to understand. Europeans did not start the African slave trade. North African Muslims did. And by the way, they've been practicing slavery in black African flesh since for 1300 years, beginning in about the 7th century, 1300 years. They practice enslavement of sub Saharan people. They brought some of those slaves into the Iberian peninsula, where they ruled the Iberian peninsula, which was slave, which was Spain and part of Portugal, which they ruled for 700 years. They brought slaves into. And most of their slaves, not all but most of their slaves were sub Saharan Africans because they enslaved somewhere in the vicinity. We don't know the exact number, but it said that they enslaved up to 17 million black Africans. 17 million sub Saharan Africans. Because of course the Arabs and Berbers were of lighter complexion. They were African, but they were lighter complexion Africans. And they made they. In fact they created a word, abiding, which both means African and slaves. Even today, that word, by the way, that word has been around for a thousand years in Arabic and it's the equivalent today in Africa, the Middle east, you should say that word. It's the equivalent of calling people by the N word. Muslims were the ones who first came up with the ideology of divinely ordained slavery of Africans, of dark skinned Africans, sub Saharan Africans. They're the ones. It wasn't Europeans who came up with that, it was Muslims. It wasn't quote unquote white people, it was Africans. And the dirty little secret is they're still practicing it in the Arab world even today. By the way, as you know, some of those very Berbers m captured about 1.25 million Europeans on the high seas and raiding certain countries like Italy and Ireland and Spain, raiding the coast and capturing Europeans and then taking them back to make them slaves. And by the way, if they took men and wanted to put them, use, them as palace guards, use them in their military, they castrated them. If you were a field slave, they left you alone. But if you were going to be put anywhere near Muslim women, you, of note of importance, or you're going to put anywhere near the people who actually owned and controlled you. In other words, in any kind of trusted position, the men were castrated to take away their aggression. Now folks, all of this again proves what I said many, many times. It's not the skin, it's the sin. Now look, for the first time in our history, here's why these the lies. And again, the lie about slavery is America's original sin. That's the lie to the pit of hell. First of all, we call original sin committed by Adam and Eve because it was original. No other. They were the first human beings to sin. Americans and Europeans certainly weren't the first people to practice slavery. And they certainly weren't the first people to practice African slavery. I mean this stuff is just, all this stuff is a polemic that is intended to again enslave people, put them in bondage. I'm angry, I'm bitter. I don't like white people. White people did this. White people did that. But what I'm telling you now, this is the truth. And if people are willing to accept it, it will liberate them because they realize slavery is not racial. It never has been. It was made racial because slave masters, particularly in America, this is an American phenomenon because of the Christian opposition into slavery and because of the willingness to work with slaves. Bringing dentured servants together and pioneered first by Nathaniel Bacon, or at least he scared. He scared the daylights out of the slave master class because he brought together African slaves and European indigenous servants and even some native Americans, formed them into an army to fight Governor of Berkeley, of Virginia, who we felt was not treating those who owned smaller plots of land properly and giving them the security that they needed. And the slave codes were the result of Bacon's m Rebellion. Because they said, we can't have. We can't ever have. They weren't even people. Europeans weren't even thought of as quote, unquote, white people. They were thought of based upon where they came from. You were British or you were French, or you were Italian and Italians even. It came down to what particular part of Italy you were from. You were Sicilian, you were Calabrese, whatever. And that's how they viewed themselves. But racial ideology was brought in so that, quote, unquote, white people all viewed themselves, would begin to view themselves as a group, as a juxtaposition to slavery and to Africans, so that they would never have any reason to see that they had anything in common with them. That was the name of the game, folks. What I'm giving you is this historical fact. Look, I'm running out of time. 25% of churches now reject the, I'm sorry. 75% of churches reject the Bible as the word of God. Today, 2/3 of Democrats believe that atheistic socialism is preferable to capitalism, that government is really better than God. Half of gen zers believe that the ages 18 to 29. A Gallup survey showed 38% of Americans consider gender transition to be morally acceptable. 38%. We hadn't even heard of it 10 years ago. But here's good news. And this is where proclaiming the word of God without apology is so important. The number of Americans who believe that there are only two genders has been rising over the last five years, is rising from 59% in 2021 to 62% in 2022 to 65% today.

StandAmerica unapologetically speaks the truth on abortion and homosexuality

And it may be higher. See, unapologetically speaking, the truth is what really liberates people to think the way they ought to think and to be who they really ought to be. And that's what we've got to do. We've got to unapologetically speak the truth on abortion, on homosexuality, on race, on Marxism, on communism, on socialism, on transgenderism. We got to tell it and tell it and tell it and tell it and tell it and tell it until the truth crushes Satan's eyes. Jesus said in Jon 17:17, Father, sanctify them by your truth. Your word is truth because the truth has sanctified power. It has cleansing power. Ephesians 5:26 says, Christ sanctifies and cleanses his church with the washing of water by the word. Hebrews, chapter four. You all know these verses. For the word of God is living and powerful, sharper than any two edged sword, cutting even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow. It is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of heart. And there's nothing hidden from his sight. For all things are, ah, naked and open to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. The word of God has revelation power. And my prayer for pastors and for the body of Christ is stop being worried about your numbers and your budgets and guide to say, I'm a pastor, I need more money. I want more money, I want more people coming to my church. But I'm not going to compromise the truth in order to get that. I've got to trust God to give me what he wants me to have. The Bible says in, Philippians four, six, be anxious for nothing but everything in prayer and supplication. With thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus Lord, my brothers and sisters, heaven and earth will pass away, but God's word will never pass away. And the choice for our culture, for our country, for our society is are we going to be liberated by truth or enslaved by lies? Our job is to truly liberate people by giving them the truth. That's what we're going to continue to do. If you want me to come to your church, your organization, your business, to do a truth toy event, talk about some of these things, things I've shared with you, just contact me, email me at truth4standinc.net or call us 757-375-6444. If you want to give and help us, go to StandAmerica US. That's StandAmerica US. And folks, in the meantime, you do what to do? Stand up, step up, speak up, refuse to back up because we cannot be defeated if we will not quit because we are on God's side.
