WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.800 Where everybody, in this post election season, where are we? Where are you? And how is it going? 2 00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:21.760 And I mean this with a great sense of sincerity because in the states in which you live in, it is 3 00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:35.440 predominantly now for your particular jurisdiction heading on to the general election come November. 4 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.600 For those of you and I know there's many of you who do and thank you for watching who are 5 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:46.960 international, America when it votes is the only nation in the world that when America votes, 6 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.280 it affects the rest of the world. People don't often realize that in the United States, 7 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:58.720 but what Americans need to realize is that when we vote, the rest of the world is watching because 8 00:00:58.720 --> 00:01:05.520 listen, the voting results affect Cuba. The voting results affect how it's going to go in Iran. 9 00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:15.280 The voting of America affects trade, environmental issues, commerce issues. 10 00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:21.920 In fact, the list is infinite. A lot of people don't realize that the United States when we vote, 11 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:28.960 how we vote for whom we vote affects maritime safety. Did you know that the United States is the 12 00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:38.400 single number one player in maritime safety when it comes to the keeping the economy at sea moving 13 00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:45.600 and awarding off piracy is done by the United States Coast Guard and the US military around the world. 14 00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:53.360 When America votes, people still to this day and in many nations when America votes, 15 00:01:54.320 --> 00:02:01.040 they watch and see what they should do about the particular policies or the type of candidate 16 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:07.760 that was elected. You have seen this profound effect. I don't know what you want to call it. 17 00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:18.560 Just as there are those people who have DTS, Donald Trump syndrome, the equal of realities, 18 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:26.000 there are those who have the Donald Trump syndrome in what would be in the positive sense. 19 00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:35.120 What do you mean by that? There are many countries that since Trump was elected in his first term, 20 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:44.400 a lot of countries elected candidates that had much or variations of the Donald Trump effect 21 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:52.640 in business, understanding, savviness when it comes to contracts. Why would that be important? 22 00:02:52.640 --> 00:03:02.080 Because governments of nations are really boardrooms of big companies. I know that many of 23 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.480 the progressives don't even want to hear that because they're against actually governments that 24 00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:13.600 understand and view that. They're against governments that function, that work. Progressive liberals 25 00:03:13.600 --> 00:03:23.520 are very anti-republic. They're very pro-democracy. America is not that. America is a republic. It's not 26 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:29.360 a democracy. But a lot of nations will look to us because America leads the way. Good, bad, 27 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:34.160 or ugly, America leads the way. And that is a very great thing. Jesus said to whom much is given, 28 00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:40.720 much is required. So think about for a moment, the great benefits that you have been given in life. 29 00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:47.920 Call them privileges. We all have them. You have them. If somebody's watching right now saying, 30 00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:52.960 I don't have any privileges. Yes, you do. You first of all have the privilege to say that you don't 31 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:59.440 have any privileges because you probably live in somewhat of a free country. You are free enough 32 00:03:59.440 --> 00:04:05.040 to be watching this technology right now. So you are privileged. To be honest with you, 33 00:04:05.600 --> 00:04:11.680 I've never gotten caught up into the privileged label for this reason. I don't care what color you 34 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.600 are. I don't care how poor you are or how rich you are. I don't care how middle class you are. 35 00:04:16.320 --> 00:04:25.840 If you have a heartbeat and you can think if you're privileged, I'm privileged because I have 36 00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:32.560 eyes that can see. And I have legs that work. I'm privileged. So I want you to think about this 37 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:42.560 for a moment. We are now in a midterm primary post primary election season. And now it's pushing hard 38 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:51.760 for many states to the finish line in November. Why is it important? Before I answer that question, 39 00:04:52.640 --> 00:05:03.760 it's time for me now to say this. In this last election, in many ways, either A, 40 00:05:05.760 --> 00:05:13.120 Christians proved that they should actually stay out of politics because they just don't have the 41 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:24.160 bandwidth to take their faith into the political decision-making process. You see what you mean? 42 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:33.200 For a lot of Christians, this is their first rodeo and they couldn't function in their Christianity 43 00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:40.720 and insert their Christianity into the secular world of politics, which frankly, 44 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:47.280 I say secular world, I say that I say that kind of tongue in cheek sarcastically because I don't 45 00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:56.160 believe in any secular realm that is excluded from the spiritual realm. How about this? The secular 46 00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:04.000 realm is often void of righteousness because of Christians' apathy and or ignorance to insert 47 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:14.560 themselves into the darkness. Now, I have a great, great allergic reaction to that. 48 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:22.800 I personally believe that our faith as Christians and being a Christian means I am super resilient, 49 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:33.760 I am super capable and super able to take on any warfare of any type. I believe this is true for 50 00:06:33.760 --> 00:06:45.200 every Christian. When I go into the theological realm, if I have a comment or insert into the political 51 00:06:45.200 --> 00:06:54.320 realm, the media realm, the influential realm or influencing realm, I don't care what it is. 52 00:06:54.320 --> 00:07:01.040 I do not care what it is as a Christian because I know the word of God, I have input into that realm. 53 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:13.280 I do not and I will never excise myself out of anything that this world throws at me. Why? 54 00:07:13.280 --> 00:07:19.120 Because I am a Christian. You see, Jack, I hear Christians say because they are Christians, 55 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:22.240 they don't get involved in this or that or the other thing. Yeah, you should ask them why? 56 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:29.840 You should ask them why they surrendered their influence and limited their ability to be 57 00:07:29.840 --> 00:07:36.880 salt and light. Why did they limit themselves? Now, listen, some people got involved in these last 58 00:07:36.880 --> 00:07:42.000 elections, but they didn't have, again, as I say, the bandwidth to handle themselves in it. 59 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:49.840 So a lot of people are either they are Christians and old ways got a hold of them. 60 00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:55.120 They say they are Christians, but you are not even sure if they really are. 61 00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:05.520 A lot is now known, isn't it? Or it is to be known. Many Christians who were going to vote or did 62 00:08:05.520 --> 00:08:10.880 vote or maybe didn't vote or maybe because they are, maybe because their mascot was in the race, 63 00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:17.920 they just threw down their toys and they went and buried their talent, their influence under a 64 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.840 basket. They will have to answer to God on that one and that is going to be a whopper. But 65 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:33.360 many, many people in the faith-based community have proved themselves to be so immature and so 66 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:40.880 incapable of actually functioning in the rough and tumble bloody world of engaging darkness. 67 00:08:40.880 --> 00:08:51.440 And this has been a great and fantastic, what's the word? I don't want to say diagnosis 68 00:08:51.440 --> 00:09:00.640 because that's too ahead of it. What I'm trying to say means this. The X-ray was taken, right? 69 00:09:00.640 --> 00:09:14.720 Button was pressed, right? The X-ray is shot and then the image is put up on the wall lights 70 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:22.560 and we see the broken bones or we see the tumor in the X-ray imaging. And when we put the imaging 71 00:09:22.640 --> 00:09:32.160 up in a post-election era like right now, we see that many people were incapable who were Christians 72 00:09:32.160 --> 00:09:41.120 of being able to understand what the Bible has always made clear. And so they voted with emotions. 73 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:46.320 They didn't vote with their brains, they didn't vote with logic, they didn't vote with reason, 74 00:09:46.880 --> 00:09:52.000 they didn't vote. Well, the reason why is because their particular candidate he or she 75 00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:59.600 was the closest thing to Jesus that they've ever seen. And so their candidate didn't make it 76 00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:08.720 and so they didn't go vote. And I want that to sink in for a moment. By not engaging in the process 77 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:16.960 to block evil, you set it out, you insulted as it were the blood of tens of thousands, 78 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:23.520 of hundreds of thousands, if not more, of those who founded this nation and maintained this nation 79 00:10:23.520 --> 00:10:29.760 so that we might have the freedom to, as Ben Franklin said, keep the republic. 80 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:39.040 An able-bodied, healthy individual physically walked out on voting because their emotions got 81 00:10:39.040 --> 00:10:46.240 dinged. Like somebody who has a brand new car, who worships it, but it got a little scratch on 82 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:55.120 the door and now all hope is lost. And those are people that I hope are few but I don't think they 83 00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:59.920 are. I think there's a lot of them and sadly they're in the camp of what is called Christian. 84 00:11:00.560 --> 00:11:06.320 But I'm going to, I'm going to read to you what is Christian. And so to be Christian is to 85 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:12.160 take in the entire word of God from Genesis to Revelation. And so I want to read this to you. 86 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:21.280 It's Isaiah chapter 44 beginning at verse 28. And this applies to all of us in this, in the 87 00:11:21.280 --> 00:11:29.440 national elections and in state elections and in county elections and in our local elections. 88 00:11:31.280 --> 00:11:42.800 Who says of Cyrus? He is my shepherd and he shall perform all my pleasure. 89 00:11:43.760 --> 00:11:52.400 Same to Jerusalem, you shall be built. And to the temple, your foundation shall be laid. 90 00:11:52.400 --> 00:11:58.720 Chapter 45 verse 1, it continues on. Thus says the Lord to his anointed to Cyrus, 91 00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:08.960 whose right hand I have held. This is amazing. God is speaking to a pagan. A pagan, King Cyrus. 92 00:12:09.280 --> 00:12:25.840 He says to subdue nations before him and to lose the armor of kings to open before him the double 93 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:38.400 doors so that the gate will not be shut. God is speaking to Cyrus. He was not a Jew. He was a pagan 94 00:12:38.400 --> 00:12:48.160 worshipping King. And God calls him his anointed, his shepherd, his instrument. And God is saying, 95 00:12:48.160 --> 00:12:57.040 I'm blessing this man because I'm going to use him. I understand that completely. I hope some 96 00:12:57.040 --> 00:13:07.680 of you do. I wish all of you would. But the results of this last election proves that Christians 97 00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:14.960 they don't believe Christians do not believe in this section of Isaiah that God could be that 98 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:25.440 sovereign. Could God ever use someone that doesn't meet their standards? Could God use someone 99 00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:30.800 in my life, Jack, in my life that doesn't meet my standards? Is that even possible? 100 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:39.440 Can God use somebody in this world? Would God call somebody in this world? Who doesn't meet Jack 101 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:46.720 standards? How about this? Would God call someone into power who doesn't even meet his standards? 102 00:13:47.920 --> 00:13:56.160 God standards. The Bible is full of this. When it comes to politics, that's what God does. Did you 103 00:13:56.160 --> 00:14:05.920 ever stop to think about that? It's what he does. So, for example, Nebuchadnezzar, 104 00:14:07.920 --> 00:14:15.600 Babylonian king, pagan worship, Nebuchadnezzar worshiped 360 gods. Some of them, some of those 105 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:28.880 guys represented abortion, mollock, deities. God says, Nebuchadnezzar is my servant. See, God 106 00:14:28.880 --> 00:14:34.640 can handle that. You can't handle that. I don't mean you, but I'm being sarcastic right now, 107 00:14:34.640 --> 00:14:41.520 and I'm trying to speak in a way that you can maybe use this podcast where, nope, I can't 108 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:46.480 vote for her. All right, I can't vote for him. Nope, not gonna do it. I'm just gonna go home. I'm 109 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:53.680 gonna let the bad guys win. Do you trust God enough to actually be involved in politics, 110 00:14:53.680 --> 00:14:59.600 or are we the only ones that are involved in politics? Is God involved in politics? What do you 111 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:09.120 think? What do you think the Bible says? Doesn't God say I'm gonna make Josiah king? That's 112 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:16.720 politics. God says I'm gonna pick David to be king. That's politics. Hey, when the people of 113 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:25.280 Israel wanted God to get out of their lives, they wanted King Saul. And God says, give them King Saul. 114 00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:29.760 I'm gonna give them King Saul. God did that. He let them have that. 115 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:43.920 Nicodemus at the time of Jesus. Jesus didn't avoid Nicodemus. Jesus dealt with him. He said, 116 00:15:43.920 --> 00:15:50.640 yeah, but he wasn't a pagan. He wasn't a pagan, but he wasn't. He wasn't representing 117 00:15:50.640 --> 00:15:56.720 team God. Nicodemus happened to have a very high ranking religious position among those 118 00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:03.360 in Judaism, but he wasn't biblical. Nicodemus followed the traditions of man, not the Bible. 119 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:17.440 What about Garius? What about Arctic zertes? Are King Ahazurus in the days of Esther? These 120 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:26.560 are all pagans. And God moved in their lives. And no wonder why the Bible says God sets up kings. 121 00:16:26.560 --> 00:16:31.680 And he brings kings down. That is God sets up leaders and he takes leaders down. But at the same 122 00:16:31.680 --> 00:16:39.280 token, God also in the Scripture tells us, choose today whom you'll serve. You can vote today 123 00:16:39.280 --> 00:16:46.880 whom you'll serve. And so God gave you, do you understand? God gave us a republic in America and 124 00:16:46.880 --> 00:16:52.160 all of our states and counties and cities. God gave us a responsibility that's to be the 125 00:16:52.160 --> 00:16:58.880 model of the world. Pick your leaders. And so what do you do with that responsibility? 126 00:17:00.800 --> 00:17:10.640 So post-election midterms, I am happy to report that my conscience is 100% crystal clear 127 00:17:11.280 --> 00:17:18.000 on those that I voted for because for each and every one of them, I have my reasons. And then 128 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:25.840 I match them up against my biblical understanding of God's standards. And then I applied my 129 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:34.800 prayerful vote to my feet. And I went and cast my ballot. And then because and only then 130 00:17:35.520 --> 00:17:40.320 that those who did what I did, and I'm not saying because of me, but we did it together, 131 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:48.000 whatever we did, no matter the outcome, the outcomes God's business, if I do what he tells me to do, 132 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:56.240 I now can rest in the outcome because God's in control for either judgment or for righteousness. 133 00:17:57.360 --> 00:18:02.720 Listen, Genesis to Revelation, it goes one way or the other and God says, you pick. 134 00:18:03.600 --> 00:18:08.720 So that's why he says in 2 Chronicles 7, 14, if a nation 135 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:17.200 will acknowledge me by repenting of their sins, turning from their wicked ways, 136 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:26.560 I will hear from heaven, and I will heal their land. Yes, that's a promise to Israel, 137 00:18:26.560 --> 00:18:32.960 but if you read the context of 2 Chronicles 7 carefully, that promise goes to any nation 138 00:18:33.600 --> 00:18:39.360 that makes the God their Lord. Happy as the nation, whose God is the Lord says the Bible. 139 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:47.920 And so this is very, very important. So with the post stuff of the primaries, we are now heading 140 00:18:48.080 --> 00:18:59.040 toward the general election. And in all the 50 states, I'm not concerned about how the progressive 141 00:18:59.040 --> 00:19:03.760 liberals going to vote. I already know how they're going to vote. In fact, jokingly I say, 142 00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:10.640 maybe not, jokingly I say, I know how they're going to vote five times wherever they're at. 143 00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:13.760 They're progressive liberals. It's what they do. They never said they wouldn't do it. 144 00:19:14.320 --> 00:19:21.520 Voter fraud seems to traffic in one particular area the most. That's going to continue. 145 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:31.040 That's not going to stop. That said, did you know that the Christian, in fact, a great friend of mine, 146 00:19:31.040 --> 00:19:36.880 former congressman of Ohio, said something to me and it's brilliant. He said, you know, Democrats, 147 00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:44.560 they fight until they win. He says Republicans fight until they lose. I want you to hear this. I want 148 00:19:44.560 --> 00:19:54.720 you to see this for a moment. Democrats fight until they win. Republicans fight until they lose. 149 00:19:55.680 --> 00:20:02.000 In other words, one team will not give up. They won't stop. The other team will endure for a little 150 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:07.360 bit and then when it doesn't go their way, they collapse. That's the Republicans. The Republicans 151 00:20:07.360 --> 00:20:16.480 have a tendency to collapse. Democrats fight until they win. Why? Because first of all, for Democrats, 152 00:20:17.120 --> 00:20:25.920 if you read the program for the Democrat Party in America and in your state, Democrats do not 153 00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:32.640 acknowledge the existence of God. That makes government their God. That's why big government 154 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:38.880 is their big God. Democrats are famous for big government. Why? Because they want a big God, 155 00:20:39.840 --> 00:20:47.280 lowercase G, and there are many so-called Christians who occupy the independent or Republican camp 156 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:54.800 and the downside to that is, well, I voted and it didn't turn out so I never vote again. 157 00:20:55.680 --> 00:21:01.600 No. What you do is you double down on good. You keep doing good no matter what and you keep pushing 158 00:21:01.600 --> 00:21:08.480 forward and no matter what the outcome is, as long as you're doing righteousness, you can sleep 159 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:13.760 well at night. You can surrender the outcome to the Lord Jesus and understand clearly that what 160 00:21:13.760 --> 00:21:18.800 just happened is either a movement towards righteousness or a movement towards coming judgment. 161 00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:27.600 And frankly, either one's good for me because I want God's will to be done and God is holy just 162 00:21:27.600 --> 00:21:32.720 and Abraham said this, shall not the Lord of all the earth do right? Yes. 163 00:21:35.840 --> 00:21:39.600 But God wants us to do good. He wants us to have good leaders. He wants us to be 164 00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:51.600 people who seek mercy and justice and walk with him. And so I think this is an important lesson 165 00:21:51.600 --> 00:21:58.960 and a time for us to learn wherever we are in America today is that we would understand that 166 00:21:59.520 --> 00:22:08.800 the post-election results are a X-ray of my private belief in God. 167 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:22.160 It's an X-ray showing my actual obedience to God or not. The X-ray shows that if I am 168 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:30.800 healthy or not, the X-ray shows that God knows all things. He sees all things. 169 00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:44.160 And so whatever state you're in, whatever if you're in Puerto Rico even, what are some of those 170 00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:58.800 other areas that Guam stay focused? Do your God ordained responsibility to vote for the person 171 00:22:58.800 --> 00:23:04.400 even if they're listening? It's possible that the person that's got the best credentials 172 00:23:05.760 --> 00:23:10.240 for the closest alignment of your biblical worldview values that are found in the Bible, 173 00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:16.320 not your feelings, not your feelings, not your jersey that you're wearing, not your association 174 00:23:16.320 --> 00:23:24.960 with any particular costume. But Bible that you would vote for that individual, I gotta tell you, 175 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:38.240 if an individual is running in a vote that I have my vote to be cast, if there's a pro-life 176 00:23:38.320 --> 00:23:48.000 Democrat, if there is a conservative Democrat versus a liberal Republican, a rhino, 177 00:23:49.600 --> 00:23:57.120 I'm probably voting for the Democrat. You want to know why? Because I'm not loyal to any 178 00:23:57.520 --> 00:24:09.440 political party or individual, but God who leads. And many people can't handle that because 179 00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:15.200 their God is too small. They can't handle that because they've got to get in there and they've 180 00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:24.240 got to make it happen. And that's unfortunate. And so this is a great, great time of reflection 181 00:24:24.320 --> 00:24:30.400 for a little bit. And then get your gloves on and get your boots on and get moving 182 00:24:31.360 --> 00:24:37.040 because as you head towards November, in your city, there's going to be elections. 183 00:24:37.760 --> 00:24:43.360 Very important elections. In your county, very important elections. In your state, 184 00:24:44.320 --> 00:24:48.880 again, very important elections. And in your nation, you will be voting for senators 185 00:24:49.280 --> 00:24:57.760 and Washington DC, congressmen and women and Washington DC. Yeah, a lot of power. God has given 186 00:24:57.760 --> 00:25:05.680 every single one of you I'm speaking to who come November will be at the age. You have to be, 187 00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:12.240 I think, 18 on the day. If you're going to be 18 before the vote in November, wow, you get to vote. 188 00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:21.200 And it's your biblical stewardship to vote in a way that is the best for the country. 189 00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:27.120 Always remembering Jesus will not be on the ballot. Always remembering. And then I want to leave 190 00:25:27.120 --> 00:25:36.240 this with you. If there's team independent and there's team Democrat and team Republican, 191 00:25:42.320 --> 00:25:46.800 those teams will do their best to make it to the finish. 192 00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:57.360 In some way, shape or form, there may be that this candidate is going to win. They have the high 193 00:25:57.360 --> 00:26:02.080 probability. They're polling the highest. They're out ahead. They're looking good. Well, 194 00:26:02.080 --> 00:26:08.160 they're not exactly my cup of tea. Stop talking about tea and realize how do we defeat evil? 195 00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:19.840 Well, I take my endorsement of A who's not going to be elected and I apply my endorsement to B 196 00:26:20.560 --> 00:26:28.320 who has a great chance of being elected. And then I tell all my friends who were in camp A to go 197 00:26:28.320 --> 00:26:36.800 vote for camp B because why? Because we wanted to be evil. And just because your person may not 198 00:26:36.800 --> 00:26:42.080 make it or didn't make it, you don't throw your toys down and act like a knucklehead. 199 00:26:42.080 --> 00:26:49.840 What you do is now you move over to your second best choice. Why? You do that to block evil. 200 00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:55.440 And this is going to apply to a lot of people in the United States. Remember that. 201 00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:02.880 So please Christian, team Christian, team Jesus. Let's show ourselves worthy. This coming November 202 00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:12.000 and not be silly immature and stupid about letting your jersey color get in the way of victory for 203 00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:17.760 the glory of God and for righteousness sake. That's a lot of horse sense, horse knowledge. I mean 204 00:27:17.760 --> 00:27:25.200 that in a good way. Horse sense where down to earth sense. That's that's that's some that sounds 205 00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:33.760 crazy, but yeah, that works. Yep, it's usable. So yeah, let's let's keep moving forward and let's 206 00:27:33.760 --> 00:27:39.280 keep fighting. Let's keep doing the right thing. And bottom line is this we need to always pray that 207 00:27:39.280 --> 00:27:50.800 God forgives our nation by first of all forgiving us. Nowhere does God call the unbeliever to repent 208 00:27:50.800 --> 00:27:57.600 before him regarding the sins of the nation. He's never asked them. He's always asked the believer 209 00:27:57.600 --> 00:28:04.960 to repent before him for the sins of their nation. Daniel, Jeremiah, Ezekiel. I could go on and on. 210 00:28:05.600 --> 00:28:15.920 Isaiah. So Christians pray repent of your sins and ask God to heal heal our land. Starting where 211 00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:18.880 you live first. Amen. Amen.
