The Awakening podcast is available only on American Family Radio

Bishop EW Jackson: Well, hello everybody. Welcome to another edition of the the Awakening podcast here on American Family Radio. It is great to be with you again. Thank you all so much for your prayers, your support, and thank you for listening and now watching. I think this, is already available to you in video, or if it's not, it soon will be and you'll be able to see my face. I won't give it any adjective other than that it's just my face, on camera. If, you're not already seeing me. I do re air these. I video these. I re air these, through my own, live streaming system, on the weekends, but it's available only on American Family Radio. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and then on the weekends, figuring most of the AFR people have seen it, through the venue that produces it, which is American Family Radio. Then you can watch it as well, on my own, like I said, my own network or my Facebook page or my YouTube channel, that kind of thing. But, we're going to soon, like I said, if we're not already making it available, it will soon be available, on video as well. doing some things to put all that together. But I'm not sure whether our production people have started to, make that available to, to you as is, or we're waiting to put some other things in place. But stand by for that if it's not already happening, because it's coming soon.

American Family Radio's Awakening is one of the top 50 most listened to podcasts

Now, as I started out saying thank you all, for your prayers, thank you for your support, thank you for listening. And I say that almost always because that's what I really feel. But I especially want to say it today because it just got word last week that an organization called Million Podcasts, which monitors Christian cultural programming, has named the Awakening as one of the top 50 most listened to podcasts in America. One of the top 50. And I, am so grateful to you all for that. I really am. Because I know it's you. It's not me. I, know it's you now. I mean, it's me to the extent that I say things that you want to hear and that you believe in, and express them in a way that kind of gives you voice. I always say, you know, people don't listen to folks like me and Rush Limbaugh. As if I could compare myself to Rush Limbaugh. But you get my point, you know, or any other Christian broadcaster. Because we've somehow mesmerized people into just listening to us because we're just so great, and we're just. That's not it. What it is, is people have their own convictions, their own values, their own perspective, and they hear someone who is expressing what is in their hearts. And, you know, sometimes I put it this way, it's like their heart leaps up and grabs it. You know, just. Just leaps up and grabs it and says, yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking. He's saying exactly what I'm thinking. And that's why people watch and listen to us. It's not because we're brilliant and we're mesmerizing people, and we've got people thinking ways they never thought before. I mean, it's. It really is a meeting of the minds. and I think, obviously, what makes programs like this and the other programming on American Family Radio, and any real good Christian programming, what makes it, viable and what makes it attractive, is that, you know, the person you're listening to is speaking from the heart. That they are not making stuff up in order to somehow win you. or just concocting stuff or some sort of formula that they have for. Okay, what are they thinking? Here's what they're thinking. Oh, okay. Well, I know what to say. I'll say this. No, it's one heart speaking to another heart, you know, because people have often commended me about my public speaking. And I'll be very, very honest with you folks. I don't see or hear what others do. I just know it's God. That's all I know. It really is. That's all I know. believe me, as God is my witness, I don't ever look in the mirror and say, boy, aren't you great. Believe me. Believe me. Never, ever, ever, ever. but to God be the glory for using us in the way he does. Because God really can take a crooked stick and hit a straight lick. And I feel like that's what he does with me. And I know it's what he does with others. but people have often asked me, you know, about my public speaking and about, you know, and I always have a simple answer for people, because I don't. Let me show you how to do what it is I do so well. And I'm saying, man, please, I'd get on my own nerves if I thought like that. but I tell them I really believe that speaking from the heart reaches the heart. And so it doesn't matter whether your style is different from mine or whether you approach speaking the way I approach it or anything like that. What matters to me, or whether you are more soft spoken, where I can get more animated and loud. What matters to me, I really believe, is that people sense it's coming from the heart, and so it touches their hearts. I said, my good friend Andrew Wommack, and I often laugh, because he says, man, he said, I can stand up and speak, he said, and never raised my voice. He said, people don't stand up and give me any kind of standing ovations. I said, but, Andrew, you're reaching 5 billion people. So obviously whatever you're doing and however you're doing is hitting the mark. Because it's really not the style. It's really the anointing, isn't it? It's really the anointing. And God anoints each of us in different ways to approach things in different ways. But. But God, he gets the job done through us. Somehow he works through us to achieve what he wants to achieve. You know, I heard one preacher say it this way, and I thought it really resonated with me. It's many, many years ago. I don't know who said it, but that God. God proclaims his Word through the vehicle of human personality. In other words, it comes through a little different from. From each person because God filters it through human personality. Same truth, but just through a different, vehicle, through a different vessel. And so it comes out a little differently. But the truth that is at the core of it is what really matters. so I'm just grateful to you all for praying for me and supporting me and grateful for this recognition of my program on American Family Radio. And grateful for American Family Radio because without American Family Radio, I couldn't get that kind of recognition because I wouldn't have the platform on which to get it. And I've said to you all many times, M. sadly, sadly, I don't think there's any other outlet in America that would let me do what I do, which is to speak the truth unvarnished, unadulterated, without apology, with. Without sugarcoating it, just telling it like it. T I tis, as they say, and praise God, that I have that latitude here. And I'm grateful for it because some of the things I'm going to say right now, there are Many places, and again, some of them conservative, they wouldn't, they wouldn't let me say some of the stuff I'm going to say today, but it needs to be said. So just hang on to your seats because it's coming.

I really do believe that we are living in an increasingly violent world

the next thing I want to say is this, that I want to encourage all of you to be aware of your surroundings. I really do believe that we are living in an increasingly violent world. and you know, the violence is not coming from where the left would have you believe it's coming from. The violence is not coming from guns. The violence is coming from the human heart, the depraved human heart. Jesus said iniquity would abound, the love of many would grow cold. And we're seeing that today. This latest attack, that just happened, by the time you're hearing this, I think day before yesterday, where this, Egyptian illegal immigrant who has overstayed his visa and stayed here, attacked these folks who were holding a peaceful demonstration. Not a protest, a peaceful demonstration. And really you could call it a kind of vigil in behalf of the hostages taken by hamas, on October 7th and still held by them, this guy screaming free Palestine. With some kind of makeshift blowtorch. I don't know what he was using exactly, but was something that he fashioned into a blowtorch, apparently injured 12 people. Thank God nobody was killed, but a number of people were burned. and this guy has made clear he is not ashamed of what he has done, he is proud of it. in Boulder, Colorado, this kind of anti Semitism and hatred has been fostered by the left, fostered by Hollywood, fostered by the leftist so called legacy mainstream media, fostered by our colleges and universities. And those chickens are coming home to roost. And we're seeing this expression of violence that is taking place now. So I just wanted to say to you, I really felt led to say this. Be aware of your surroundings. watch your back. we're Christians, we're not supposed to walk in fear or paranoia. But Jesus said, be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. He said, walk. The word of God says, walk circumspectly in the world, redeeming the time for the days are evil. So that means we're supposed to be aware of our surroundings and we're supposed to be frankly, good stewards of our own lives. You know, I've said many times, I'll lay down my life for the gospel of Jesus Christ, but I'm not going to surrender my life to foolishness. And to me there's a distinction. If you say to me, denounce Jesus or die, I am going to die because I'm not denouncing or renouncing Jesus Christ. But if you come to hurt me, hurt my family, hurt those for whom I'm responsible, or hurt innocent people who I could help if I'm in a position to help, I'm going to fight you. And I don't make any apologies for that. I don't believe Christians are called to be pacifists. I don't believe we're called to just say, oh, well, whatever violence you want to do, just go ahead and do it. We don't want to stop you. We're Christians. I think that's crazy, that's stupid. And I think God would hold us accountable if we did that. Somebody wants to hurt a child or hurt somebody, innocent woman or a handicapped person, an elderly person for that matter, an able bodied person gets the drop on them or, you know, somehow, surprise them, overtakes them. And we're in a position to help and we don't do anything, say, well, Lord, I'm a Christian, I don't want to engage in violence. I think God would look at you and say, what's wrong with you? What is wrong with you? I mean, when they came to arrest Jesus and they said, we're looking for Jesus of Nazareth, he said, well, if it's me you seek, let these go. I mean, Jesus made clear, remember in the Gospel of John, it says when they came and they said, we seek Jesus, he said, I am He. And when he said that, they all fell back. The power of God was so strong on him and proving to me that they could not take him without his acceptance. But of course he had a reason for accepting that abuse, which is to die on the cross for our sins. But they all fell back. And I think Jesus was sending a message, I will surrender to you. You're not taking my people. So I think we have a stewardship, responsibility for those around us as well as our own lives. and so I'm just telling you, walk circumspectly in the world. Let me share with you a couple things that happened to me, that you. And again, not to call attention to myself, but just to help you see how the left just really does seem to have gone crazy and really seems to have embraced a kind of violent attitude to couple their hatred for Christians, for Jews, for conservatives. I spoke at a high school, last week and I won't name the High school, because I don't want anyone to embarrass them. It's not their fault. I spoke to a high school graduation, last week. it's always an honor to be able to do something like that. When I told those who invited me, because when people invite me, I always let them know that I do travel with security. and I was immediately told, well, you don't need that, because we've got that covered. And I said, well, I appreciate that, but I have my own. Because their job, your security, is trying to keep eyes on everybody. My job, the job of my security, is to keep an eye on me. Because if I'm speaking and there are people who know me, hate me, want to hurt me, that's what they're going to be doing. They're going to be keeping their eyes on me, not everybody else. so, okay, well, you know, you want to do that, but, you know, you won't need it. So we get to the event. I spoke, and, And while I'm in the green room and I have a book table out front with a staff member at the book table, God walks up to the book table. This is at a Christian high school graduation. Guy walks up to the book table, says to my assistant, and some of you listening to me have probably met him, but says to my assistant, are you his son? And he says, well, I'm his spiritual son. And the guy says, oh, well, then blank you. And this student has glared at him. Now, I draw two conclusions. One is, this guy did not come for the graduation. He came for me. He was by himself when he went to approach the table. He wasn't with family, wasn't with children, wasn't with a wife. He walked up by himself, walked away by himself. So he didn't come for the graduation. He came for me. And I wonder what would have happened if I'd been standing there. Because when he found out that my assistant was not related to me biologically and that I was not at the table, all he did was use some very profane language to express his hatred. But if I'd been there, I wonder what would have happened. My point is little old me, and I mean that sincerely. Look, believe me, I do not overstate the case as to how well known I am. I mean, I'm not unknown, but I'm not that well known. But the people who know me are. The people who like me and follow me and support me, or the people who hate my guts and might follow me because they hate my guts. And I think that's what happened here. It's happened before. It's not something new. And then about, I think, a day or two later, I was at a gas station pumping gas, right? And I'm sitting in my car. I don't know how you all do it, but I'll tend to put the hose in my gas tank, you know, and set it to just pump and then get back in my car. Because I'm usually listening to something, music. Or maybe I'm listening to the Word of God, or I'm listening to the news.

Guy walks up to the front of my car and starts taking pictures

But I'm usually listening to something in my car. And if I'm interested in something, I want to get back in and continue to listen to it, whatever it is. sometimes I'm listening to an audiobook, but whatever it is. And so I got back in my car. Guy walks up to the front of my car and starts taking pictures. I'm thinking, what? So it finally hit me, you know, what I need to see. What is that all about? So I got out. Very friendly. I mean, I wasn't hostile. I wasn't jumping to any conclusions. But obviously I'm curious. Why are you stepping up to my car and taking pictures of me or my car and my license or what? Guy goes into the, variety store attached to the gas station. By the time I got to him, he had walked in the door, but for whatever reason, he changed his mind and turned around and came right back out. So then when he came out, he and I were literally face to face. And I said, hey. I said, I just wanted to ask you. Why were you taking pictures of me and my car? He kind of looked at me, threw his hands up, right, and says something about a scam. but I couldn't really grasp what he was saying. It was kind of incoherent scam. But he didn't stop. He walked sort of away from me. And this guy was driving a great big truck. He was working. I mean, he was driving. It wasn't a tractor trailer, but it was a big truck. You know, one of these big work trucks, like a big dump truck or something. And, he goes to walk away. And so I didn't follow him at that point because, I mean, I'd already asked him. And he kept going. So as he's walking away, I said, well, I said, I don't understand what you mean. I said, what do you mean? What scam? What's going on? Oh, and then he says something about, you know, people hiding their license plates and don't want to be taken. At that point, I just said, okay, I don't know. This guy was working. So if he's mentally ill like that, what in the world is he doing behind one of those big trucks, right? So I just ran to my car, got my camera. He got into his truck. And I say, a big truck. Probably by the time you're in the seat, you're sitting six, seven feet high. So it's a big one. It wasn't a, you know, a pickup truck. It was a big work truck, big dump truck. But I took a picture of the license plate as he went away and turned that over to my security. Because I'm thinking, I don't know what's going on here, but that was one of the weirdest things I'd ever experienced. Now, all I'm saying is this, folks. You just never know. You show up at a, demonstration. You show up at a visual. You show up, to peacefully express your point of view, and somebody who hates this group puts their eye on you. They don't like you. Maybe they just pick you out. There's something about you they don't care for. You just can't take anything for granted. You can't say, well, I'm not E.W. jackson. nobody's paying attention. You don't know that. You really don't know that. And you might be innocently working like my assistant was, just maybe working with someone. Maybe it's on a volunteer basis. Maybe you're just there, you know, doing something to help, and you end up being noticed or confronted by someone who hates you not because of who you are, but because of what you stand for, what you represent. Don't take anything for granted. As I've said, folks, don't walk in fear, okay? Don't walk in paranoia. The Bible tells us God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love and power and a sound mind. But that doesn't mean you're not aware of your surroundings. You're not aware of what's going on around you. Because as you can see, we've got two m. Well, really three major elements of crime in our country right now. Three. One is, this growing anti Semitism, which apparently focuses on anybody who supports Israel. You don't have to be a Jew if you support Israel. As far as they're concerned, they hate you because they hate Jews, and therefore they hate anybody who supports the Jews. Just like Hitler did. If you were a Jew, Hitler was going to try to kill you. But if you Were a Jew, what they would call a Jew lover, somebody who would support the Jewish community, somebody would try to hide Jews and keep Jews from being killed, they kill you too. And this is the same attitude and it's coming primarily from the Islamists, people from the Middle East. This guy's from Egypt apparently. from those who think they've got, they've got the formula for how to deal with the problems in the Middle east, which is kill all the Jews. Well, if you're out there supporting the Jewish people, you're a supporter of the Jewish people like I am. If you've seen any of my sermons online, we've taken the banner down for the time being because we got the family banner up right now, which I'm going to talk about in a second. And you see Stand with Israel is on the banner. So I'm just as much a target with a banner like that as would be a Jewish person. They considered me to be a Zionist because I support the Israel's, the right of the children of Israel, the Israelis, to live in the land that God gave them. That's called Zionism. And they hate you if you're a Zionist, which again I won't get into Islam right now. But needless to say, it's got some serious problems.

The other, uh, source of, I said there are three. They've got the Trans Tifa movement

The other, source of, I said there are three. The other source is this whole so called trans movement. These transgender people have decided that one of the ways they're going to deal with people who do not agree with or approve of, or support their desire to be called by the gender that they claim rather than the one they were born is they're going to try to hurt those people, try to kill those people if necessary. Now I'm not saying every person of that ilk believes that, but we're certainly seeing the signs now. They've got the Trans Tifa movement. Remember Antifa? We're. Well, Antifa was dedicated to using violence to stop their opponents. Trans tifa, is undoubtedly the same thing. You know, use violence to de platform people, use violence to silence people, use violence to break up their demonstrations, to break up their protests, to break up their vigils, to break up their prayer meetings, whatever, whatever it is they're doing, use violence to stop them. That's what happened in Seattle, not too long ago where this violent trans group jumped on a bunch of Christians and several of them, the trans people got arrested because the Christians hadn't done anything violent, attacked anybody, threatened anybody, anything like that. But all of these sexual deviants did, and they ended up getting arrested. Thank God that was a fair implementation of the law, because a lot of times, like the mayor of Seattle, he blamed the Christians. Look, the, the sexual deviants were the ones doing the violence, but the mayor blamed the Christians for it. And they said, we didn't come out here to do anything to anybody. We just came out here to silent, to peacefully and prayerfully, hold the vigil in behalf of our God and our values and the word of God and so forth that not to, not to. To try to confront anybody, to harm anybody, to threaten anybody, but they were attacked. So that's, that's the second source. This, this whole sexually deviant community that has decided they're going to get their way, even if it takes violence.

Our whole criminal justice system today is based on the opposite of what the Bible says

But here's the third one. And folks, I got a. I got a harrowing story to tell you, but here's the third one. the criminal class in our country as just. Just feels in many ways that they have been given carte blanche to do whatever they want to do to whomever they want to do it, and that they're going to be very little consequence for it. If they get the right prosecutor, they probably won't even go to jail. If they get the right prosecutor, they probably won't even be held, without bail or have a high bail set. Because if they get one of these George Soros prosecutors, they'll be immediately released as a basis, as a matter of social justice, to go back on the street, streets and hurt more people. Now, I can't get into all the details on this, but, but I will tell you this much of it. recently, some people that I am close to, not family members, but, but close to, were kind of. And these were some children actually pulled into a situation that was very unhealthy for them. And in the course of being in that situation, in this location that they were pulled into by, frankly, an irresponsible parent, we were working primarily with the children. They ended up being robbed at gunpoint and having the children had guns put to their heads by guys who invaded this place with masks on. See, in my view, you go into a place and you put a gun to a child's head, you ought to really just be taken out back and shot. Now, to me, that would be justice. But I realize we live in a nation of laws, and I'm not saying people should take the laws into their own hands and do that, because I wouldn't do that. But I'm just saying I'm Telling you right now to me how heinous that is and what it deserves. But as I think I shared with you before, out of the book of Ecclesiastes, which warns us, I think It's Ecclesiastes chapter 8, which warns us that when we fail to punish people for their crimes, we set their hearts on evil. I told you, I probably read that who knows how many times. But the last time I read it, it just jumped out at me like I'd never seen it before. It's Ecclesiastes chapter 8, verse 11. And it says because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Ecclesiastes 8:11. Now you probably read that same way I have and I'm my bringing it to your attention. You're probably saying does the Bible actually says, and our whole criminal justice system today is based on the opposite of that. Not only we don't, we don't even execute the sentence at all, let alone, let alone speedily says, and therefore the hearts of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. In other words, when you don't execute sentences speedily for the evil that people do, you help cement the evil into their hearts. That's what that word of God is teaching us. You help cement that evil into their hearts. The sons of men. The hearts of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. And that's sadly what we're doing in society. So we've got all those three elements operating. So you and I, as law abiding citizens, we have got to be circumspect. We've got to, as military folks say, watch your six. We've got to be aware of our surroundings because sadly, in this day and time, you just never know. and so folks, listen, I'll be praying for you. You pray for me. And let's pray that this attorney, general and justice department and that we will have many on the local level as well, on the state level and prosecutors on the local level who will decide to abide by that scripture I just read you and will decide that, you know what, and judges, Lord have mercy, Judges, because they are the bane of our existence in many ways because so many of them are so full of their leftist ideology. Like this judge who helped an illegal alien escape out the back door of the courthouse, or this judge who was actually harboring a trende Aragua illegal alien in his house. I mean what in the world is going on. The judges are as lawless as the criminals in some ways. But let us pray that the judicial system, the criminal justice system, the prosecutors, the police, the prosecutors, the judges, will all get a revelation that they are doing a tremendous disservice to all of us by coddling these criminals and allowing them to do their evil deeds and basically walk off scot free. Particularly if they're illegal aliens, then they especially need to get a get out of jail free card because obviously they're a very special group that the left is trying to cultivate, hoping that they are a key to future power in our country. So, just be aware.

President Donald Trump has refused to issue Pride Month proclamation

Let me go to another thing. This is the first program I've done, the first awakening podcast I've done since so called Pride Month came into being. Now let me tell you what the Lord gave me. Well, first of all, Proverbs 16:18 says, Pride goes before destruction and a hardy spirit before falling. But you know what the Lord gave me for this pride that they are celebrating? And look, and I just want to say thank God for President Donald J. Trump who has refused to issue, ah, a, ah, pride proclamation. God bless him for it because, you know, he's the first president since Bill Clinton, the promiscuous president, since he was the first one to sign one of these so called proclamations. every president since has gladly signed them. Thank God Donald Trump said, no, I'm not signing that abomination. Those are my words, not his. But he's not signing it. Praise God for it. Here's what the Lord gave me for pride. You know, you know, pride means, pride means perverse, raunchy, illicit, depraved and evil. That's what they're celebrating. They're celebrating the perverse, the raunchy, the illicit, the depraved and the evil. Because if you look at these parades or these celebrations that they have under this banner they call pride, that's what they are. That's exactly what they are. Perverse, raunchy, illicit, depraved and evil. You know, some of the outfits that they wear in these parades you'd get arrested for. You walk down the street in that mess in most communities and people, they probably, the police would probably arrest you for lewd and lascivious behavior. M. You couldn't stand out on a street corner and demonstrate sadomasochism, which is what they do in these parades. And if you had brought children up to watch that sick mess, you'd probably be arrested for corrupting the Morals of a minor, but under the banner of the favored lgbtq, you. You get away with it. You get commended for it. Oh, look how wonderful it is. No, it's sick, it's disgusting, it's perverse, it's raunchy, it's illicit, it's depraved, and it's evil. So praise God. Dope. No so called Pride flags flown in any embassies. No Pride flags flown, at the Pentagon or at the White House. No rainbow colored White House. Thank God all of that's over and I hope it never comes back. And I said this in my sermon on Sunday. If you haven't listened to it, it could, watched it. It's available to you on my Facebook page. But I said this. I said in the name of. And I'm saying it again. In the name of Jesus. I curse Pride Month. I curse everything it represents. I curse every effort to promote it. In the name of Jesus. May it fall into absolute ignominy, be cast into the pit, never to rise and trouble us again. May Pride, so called Pride Month in America, come to an ignominious end. And may no president ever again sign a proclamation recognizing that. That. That disgusting, depraved behavior as something that the country ought to be celebrating. Are you kidding me? I mean, it's. To me, it's the equivalent of shaking your fist at God or spitting in God's face and telling God, we don't care what you say. We're going to do what we want to do. We'll be our own gods. Thank you very much. We don't need your guidance. We don't need your commandments, and we don't need your will, your plan, your purpose for our lives. We have our own. Now, look, we love these people and we pray for them and we want them to go to heaven, not hell. But I will say this. If you are just bent on going to hell, I'm not going with you. And if I can do anything about it, you're not dragging my country, you're not jumping into the abyss, into the depravity, and dragging my country into the hole with you. So we are. My organization stands staying true to America's national destiny. We are celebrating. We are celebrating. Celebrating, traditional Marriage and Family month, from Mother's Day to the end of June to encompass Mother's Day and Father's Day. Because we believe that instead of just cursing the darkness of this depraved pride garbage that we ought to be exalting and promoting and elevating family as God designed it, which is one man, one woman, in the bounds of holy matrimony, praising God, raising their children in the nurture and the admonition and the fear of the Lord, and raising them up to be godly people, people of honor and decency and integrity, responsible citizens in our constitutional republic, and to ultimately be good dads and good moms to the children that they raise. Now that's the model, That's God's plan. And we're going to celebrate that. again, if you look at the banner, behind me as I preach on Sundays, you'll see the banner that's there now is to celebrate traditional marriage and family month. It's a big family banner. And by the way, let me tell you, we, we've created something called the Family Restoration Institute for the purpose of helping to rejuvenate, to strengthen, to, to, to support and build the family. Because folks, I'm sure you all are aware of this, the family has, has taken a hit in this country for the last 60 years. I dare say about 65 years, because that started in the 1960s. So at least 60 years the family has been taking a hit in this country. And that's across the board, demographically. The most recent immigrants to the country, legal immigrants to the country, which is the Asians, their families are not quite taking the same hit. But for Americans of African ancestry, as you know, 72% of children are born out of wedlock. 66% of the children raised in the, families of Americans of African ancestry, 66% will never have a father in the home. 66%, the Hispanic family is following suit. The families of Americans of European ancestry, about 40% of those children are born out of wedlock. And in 1950, guess what it was between those two groups, the average was, somewhere in the vicinity of about 6 or 7% of children were born out of wedlock. And all this gender bending insanity and all of this stuff about homosexuality, all of it is only serving to do what? When we were first having our debates about the rise of the so called gay rights movement and we were saying this is going to undermine the family as God designed it, I heard, oh, no, no, it has nothing to do with that. No, this is just about fairness. It's just about equality. And I said, well, you watch and here we are. It has definitely undermined the family. It's undermined having children because two men can't have children and two women can't have children. All they can do is Engage in some kind of pseudo scientific, manipulations, trying to somehow manual or some kind of weird sexual arrangement in order to have what they simply can't have naturally because God never intended them to come together or to be married.

We don't hate homosexuals or transgenders or gender confused people

Now folks, I say all this, with this understanding because I can be pretty passionate about this. I say this without any hatred for any person. I do not hate homosexuals. I do not hate so called transgenders or gender confused people. We don't hate any of these folks who are living sexually deviant lives. And that's what they are, they're sexually deviant. But we don't hate them. We love them. We love them because we want them to be, because God loves them first of all. But we love them because we want them to be delivered out of that. We want them to repent of that so that they can experience the best that God has for them. And that is not what God has for them. That's what the devil has for them. Look at, this verse continues to jump out at me, First Corinthians 6, 8. And we don't hate them because we know there's none righteous, no, not one. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. But the major distinction, when people say, yeah, well, you know, there are lots of sins and a lot of people commit sins. Yeah, but I don't see anybody else running around with a sign saying pride in adultery and you know, pride in this and pride in thieving and pride in robbing and pride in lying. And we want everybody to be liars or, we want everybody to celebrate. I mean, this is the only group that has decided that they're going to make their sin a call celeb. But here's what First Corinthians, chapter 6, verses 9 through 11 say. Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And here's the kicker, and this is in part why we love these folks too. We don't, we don't hate them, we don't want to destroy them, we don't want to kill them. We don't want to harm them in any way. And we don't want anybody else to do that to them either. We want to persuade them. It says, and such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the spirit of our God. And that's what we want for them. We don't want them hurt, we don't want them harmed, we don't want them killed. We want them sanctified, justified, washed, in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the spirit of God. So that is our prayer for them.

There is an organization dedicated to teaching psychiatrists how to affirm pedophilia

Folks, I'm just about out of time, but let me mention one other thing that you are probably not aware of because I certainly was not, and I dare say most Americans are not. There is a new organization. Forgive me, strike that. There is an organization. It is actually 22 year old. 22 years old. It's new to me and probably new to you. to show you how important it is that we take firm opposition and action against the lies of the devil in this regard, there's an organization. It is called the B4U Act. And that's capital B, the number four capital U Dash Act. And get this folks, look it up before you act, uh.org and you don't have the dash in the in the actual website URL, just be the letter B as in boy4u a C T as in tom.org. look it up. They've existed for 22 years. So you know what their job is, you know what they're doing, what they're dedicated to. They're dedicated to teaching psychiatrists, psychologists, ah, and therapists how to affirm pedophilia. I kid you not folks, I kid you not that you need to stop condemning it, you need to stop judging it and you need to start affirming it now. You know where we heard this before? Homosexuality. Same deal. Same deal. Stop. Stop judging it. The American Psychological Association. I forget exactly when I think late 60s flipped and said homosexuality is not a mental illness that we have to try to resolve. It is, it is, it is who they are and we need to affirm it. And some states even went so far as to outlaw any, what they call conversion therapy, which is any attempt to try to cure people of their homosexual impulses. Got the same thing happening here. See folks, I've said repeatedly, once you take away God's standards, you open the floodgate for almost anything. Now I didn't know and you didn't know that there is an organized effort to get the, the, the professional psychological therapy community, which is psychiatrists, psychologists and, and therapists to change their view on pedophilia and to affirm it. And some of the stuff that they are saying is just. It's just wild. It really is. one of the things they say is we have to come to grips with the fact that, pedophiles are people who simply have, get this, romantic affection for children, and that they are interested in helping children and making them happy. I kid you not. They want us to stop using the word pedophilia and start using the word map, which is minor attracted persons. There's nothing wrong with that. And that we should stop judging, that and stigmatizing that. And by the way, that includes their fantasizing about it. As long as anything that they create, they want to make legal, the creation of, of child pornography, as long as it doesn't include actual children. I am not kidding you. So in other words, if you're making it from, you know, some kind of, of animation or, you know, AI, that's okay because it's not real children. And by the way, they don't embrace the idea that children cannot give consent because what they're doing is they are examining the concept of the willing child. Folks, I, know this stuff is just monstrous. That's why we have to remind ourselves we can't hate people, because even people with those kinds of monstrous ideas can be redeemed. But we certainly do have to hate these wrong ideas. These, lying, godless, demonic ideas. We've got to hate those. And this is what all this pride stuff, this is where it brings us. This is what it brings us to. It's inevitable. Now, they've been working at this for 22 years. You know when this stuff pops up and suddenly we see it and we go, oh, where did that come from? It's been operating under cover, if you'll forgive the reference, for a long time. You look it up yourself, you'll be shocked. It's before the letter B, the number 4, the letter U. And then act before you act. I've said many times, once you remove God's standards, it's, katie, bar the door. I mean, there are no standards left. You make up whatever you want. You want to be a furry, you want to engage in bestiality, you want to engage in homosexuality. I mean, whatever you want to. Want to have a group marriage, group sex, whatever, anything. Because you become your own God and you begin to worship the idolatry of feeling. So whatever you feel is right, that's what's right. And apparently the only thing they feel is wrong is to disagree with them. Other than that, anything goes, even. Even what we know to be crime. I mean, you just had this guy attack people. Do you hear any hue and cry out of the leftist community about. Man, he's attacked innocent people. That. That can't stand. Do you hear it? No, because they don't believe it. They don't feel it. Now, press, they might say something, but for the most part, they just kind of. Well, you know, that's an outlier. No, they want to focus on the illegal alien, gang member, rapists, murderer, who they don't feel has been given due process. We would. That's. That's the injustice that we need to. We really need to focus on. They came here without due process, but somehow getting them out, you know, wait a minute. You. You can't mistreat them. That's not mistreating people any more than somebody breaking into your house needs to be evicted with due process. They need to be evicted. All right? And it needs to be with all due haste, but. But I don't see any need for due process.

With all this craziness going on, we win, thank God

Okay, folks, well, listen, I know this is a serious matter, and I certainly don't mean to make light of it in any way. but you be encouraged, because we win. With all this craziness going on, we win, and thank God that we. While this is not the end of the story, we do have a president of the United States who, for the most part, subscribes to our values and supports them, and we thank God for that. So, look, you know what to do. Don't let anybody deter you. 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. God bless everybody.
