00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.480
Real Life presents the Jack Hibbs Podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim truth,

2
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:09.400
equip the saints and impact our culture.

3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:13.000
Hey everybody, I'm here with our good friend Charlie Kirk, and we are getting into the

4
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:20.000
second part of us looking at the Tower of Babel and how that equates to this modern age

5
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.080
of ours, the light of Bible prophecy, what in the world is going on?

6
00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:29.200
And so we're looking forward to you staying tuned, letting others know that they can join

7
00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:35.480
us and study what does the Bible have to say to our current day, Charlie?

8
00:00:35.480 --> 00:00:40.400
Jack loving the conversation and loving being here, Genesis 11, and all actually the first

9
00:00:40.400 --> 00:00:41.400
11 books of Genesis.

10
00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:42.400
Right.

11
00:00:42.400 --> 00:00:47.720
Speak a lot to our times and the distinctions that should dictate our reality, so I think everyone's

12
00:00:47.720 --> 00:00:48.720
going to enjoy it.

13
00:00:48.720 --> 00:00:49.720
Incredible.

Today, if this podcast lifts you up and encourages you to live a more fulfilled life in Christ,

16
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:09.440
then make sure you leave us one of those five star ratings.

17
00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:16.040
To us, that's like saying amen or yes, then that rating will encourage others to listen.

18
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:22.760
Now open your hearts to what God's word has to say to you, here is jackhibbs.

19
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.600
There's a reason why you cannot find America in the Bible.

20
00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:27.120
It's not written.

21
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:28.760
How could that possibly be?

22
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:33.720
The greatest, most powerful, most wealthy, most free, most you fill in the blank.

23
00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:35.520
How's it not written in the Word?

24
00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:37.480
Well guess what?

25
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:41.440
If it's not written in the Word and it happened, we're the only covenant nation by the way

26
00:01:41.440 --> 00:01:43.800
in the face of the earth outside of Israel.

27
00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:48.120
Israel has a covenant with God and our founding pilgrim has made a covenant with God.

28
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.760
No other nation did this, but we're not specifically written in the Bible.

29
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:58.560
Here's the point is that if America's end is not specifically detailed, just like the

30
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:04.560
birth is not mentioned, then could it be that God is saying, I see what's happening in

31
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:10.840
Sacramento, I see what's happening in Washington DC, but will my people pray?

32
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:15.320
Will the people of California, imagine if the good people in California decided, I'm

33
00:02:15.320 --> 00:02:20.920
going to do the right thing, imagine what would happen here and that could happen from

34
00:02:20.920 --> 00:02:27.680
state to state, look the Lord's coming back in his time until he does come back as believers

35
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:33.280
were supposed to do the right thing and that right thing is what's really a disturbance

36
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:42.840
to globalism and global union is there's this American thing, these people, they've got

37
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:49.400
their full of ideas, their full of ingenuity, their full of independence and we need to break

38
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:56.960
that down from them and so man right now is trying to say, we've got God on the ropes.

39
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:03.960
So what we'll do is we'll create a world economic forum and from that we'll redefine faith,

40
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:10.720
we'll redefine economies and we'll redraw the borders of nations and we'll have groups

41
00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:11.720
come together.

42
00:03:11.720 --> 00:03:17.640
Isn't it interesting that the Bible told us 2,000 years ago that there'll be a gathering

43
00:03:17.640 --> 00:03:24.120
of leaders, world leaders, book of Daniel, so that's 2,600 years ago, book of Daniel called

44
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:26.080
them horners.

45
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:33.000
There'll be 10 horns, 10 leaders, horns in the Old Testament always refers to kings,

46
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:37.640
there'll be 10 kings in the last days and out of the 10 kings there'll be an 11th one

47
00:03:37.640 --> 00:03:42.760
that will rise up seemingly out of nowhere and the one that is called the 11th that comes

48
00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:52.760
out of the 10, he will destroy and he will take power and the Bible tells us that he will

49
00:03:52.760 --> 00:04:00.800
engineer a one-world economy and you look what's going on.

50
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:07.000
If you really want to get nations to this constant dripping we hear of what's the word,

51
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:15.720
equity of the economic parity, everybody's the same, equity, think about that, how would

52
00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:18.160
you do that in the world?

53
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:23.560
You reset with one currency, that's how you do it.

54
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:28.000
And that's likely coming very soon, you'll see it, you will see it.

55
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:32.520
About a digital dollar about unifying currencies, it's very interesting the Chinese Communist

56
00:04:32.520 --> 00:04:35.760
Party came out and said we don't want to be the world reserve currency, I believe that

57
00:04:35.760 --> 00:04:41.560
to America is the financial instability that unfortunately a lot of you and a lot of

58
00:04:41.640 --> 00:04:47.880
us, all of us are really going to experience together is by design and it's by design from

59
00:04:47.880 --> 00:04:51.880
the last couple of years and this is a very important distinction, I think it actually

60
00:04:51.880 --> 00:04:53.560
should be rather freeing for you.

61
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:59.320
You look at all that's happening, who wants to be, you know, quote unquote king of the

62
00:04:59.320 --> 00:05:04.520
garbage pile, you're destroying everything in your wake, right?

63
00:05:04.520 --> 00:05:09.080
It's totally against reason which is a gift from God as it says in Isaiah 1, let us reason

64
00:05:09.080 --> 00:05:10.080
together, right?

65
00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:13.720
You're breaking the border, you're breaking the economy, people are getting poorer,

66
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:18.360
107,000 drug overdoses every single year, the leading cause of death for young girls,

67
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:23.200
ages 14 to 22, is suicide, we're allowing this trans thing which is just a total of

68
00:05:23.200 --> 00:05:26.800
front to the distinctions of man versus woman which is trying to be the whole trans thing

69
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:32.360
which drives me nuts and this is spiritual that manifests temporarily and the physical.

70
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.720
This is diabolical, okay?

71
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:39.720
I did a whole thing today on my show and boy, you want to get mocked by CNN, you want

72
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.440
to get mocked by all the guy and we said this on our show today.

73
00:05:42.440 --> 00:05:45.800
That's an honor to be mocked by the way.

74
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:50.000
One day they'll realize I enjoy it a lot more than they do when they write up.

75
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.640
It really is great and as long as they quote me accurately when they don't that drives

76
00:05:54.640 --> 00:05:56.480
me nuts, that's separate.

77
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.760
You could say whatever you want, just don't lie about me but one thing they did get

78
00:05:59.760 --> 00:06:04.880
right about today is that I was talking about how witchcraft and the occult is a real

79
00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:09.480
thing and there are portals to darkness and you have to be vigilant about this and

80
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.440
that I believe that there are leaders.

81
00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:13.200
We did meet fun of it.

82
00:06:13.200 --> 00:06:15.800
Oh, the mockery, Jack, who are you to say?

83
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:20.640
I mean because, well it's kind of interesting, they make fun of it because no one actually

84
00:06:20.640 --> 00:06:24.600
wants to say that out loud that we're in the midst of the high most consequential spiritual

85
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:25.600
war.

86
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.960
I think of a millennia, right?

87
00:06:27.960 --> 00:06:29.440
No one wants to say that out loud.

88
00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:34.600
Then there's the scientific materialists that will say, oh yeah, there's no invisible

89
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:35.600
realm or domain.

90
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:40.440
They call themselves atheists, they're not, they just, you know, they're lost but it's

91
00:06:40.440 --> 00:06:49.320
really interesting though, Jack, there is no other way to explain the campaign of arson

92
00:06:49.320 --> 00:06:56.720
and destruction against our country other than diabolical, spiritually dark influences

93
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.320
that are fighting for dominion over this nation.

94
00:07:00.320 --> 00:07:05.480
And let me just add a little bit of a wrinkle to this and Jack, you can riff, this is why

95
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:06.960
I have lost my patience.

96
00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:09.520
I am now in a patient's deficit, okay?

97
00:07:09.520 --> 00:07:11.800
So you say, how can I pray for you, Charlie?

98
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:17.960
Pray for patience of which I am, I'm taking out a loan on patience, okay?

99
00:07:17.960 --> 00:07:23.960
With, by the way, I have plenty of patience for atheists, for secularists, for even some

100
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:28.640
liberals, I have no patience for people who call themselves pastors, who won't engage

101
00:07:28.640 --> 00:07:34.120
in the spiritual war that is happening around them every single day.

102
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.120
No patience, I'm done.

103
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.000
And I'll just add one more thing to it.

104
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:43.640
I talked to a pastor the other day and I will not say his name.

105
00:07:43.640 --> 00:07:49.760
And he says, I, he said, it's not, it's not clear to me kind of what the way forward

106
00:07:49.760 --> 00:07:50.760
is.

107
00:07:50.760 --> 00:07:55.320
I'm going to need more time to figure it out and I lost it, I'll be very honest, right?

108
00:07:55.320 --> 00:08:00.360
Again, through to the spirit of self-control, I temporarily put that one on pause.

109
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:05.000
And I, I, I, I, now it's my sins publicly, so you could pray for me and I repent.

110
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.760
No, I, I, I could have handled it better.

111
00:08:06.760 --> 00:08:09.600
I said, really, you need more time.

112
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:14.520
Three years into a virus that we funded in Wuhan, mainland China, deployed on the entire

113
00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:15.520
world.

114
00:08:15.520 --> 00:08:18.120
We put kids out of school and they're killing themselves at record rates.

115
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:19.440
Our border is wide open.

116
00:08:19.440 --> 00:08:22.960
They shut down, they shut down schools and jail pastors, keep strip clubs in marijuana

117
00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:27.200
dispensaries and alcohol, alcohol stores open.

118
00:08:27.200 --> 00:08:28.560
They deem you not essential.

119
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:32.680
We have abortion on demand, we're medically mutilating kids and you need like more time

120
00:08:32.680 --> 00:08:33.680
to figure it out.

121
00:08:33.680 --> 00:08:34.680
You should resign from the ministry.

122
00:08:34.680 --> 00:08:35.680
That's true.

123
00:08:35.680 --> 00:08:36.680
Sorry, pal.

124
00:08:36.680 --> 00:08:37.680
No, that's true.

125
00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:40.680
You don't, you don't repent of that.

126
00:08:40.680 --> 00:08:42.680
You don't, you don't repent from that.

127
00:08:42.680 --> 00:08:44.680
That's absolutely true.

128
00:08:44.680 --> 00:08:46.600
You see, you see, Jackson's, I don't need a repent.

129
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.720
I just gave you a much nicer version, okay?

130
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:53.720
It was, look, I don't know, it was a lot more spirited, I know it was spirited, okay?

131
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:55.560
I think Charlie's being hard on himself.

132
00:08:55.560 --> 00:08:56.560
Look what Nehemiah did.

133
00:08:56.560 --> 00:09:00.320
He grabbed people by the beard and drugged them out in the street and kicked them out.

134
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:01.320
So I can do that.

135
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:02.320
Great.

136
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:09.440
So, 100% true.

137
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:15.560
If you stop and look at the issues that are happening for all of us, I don't care how

138
00:09:15.560 --> 00:09:16.560
young you are.

139
00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:17.560
I don't care how old you are.

140
00:09:17.560 --> 00:09:24.120
This is the first time in world history that what's going on is going on at the same time

141
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.440
globally at the exact same moment.

142
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.120
What's happening here is happening in Ireland.

143
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:32.280
It's happening in Mozambique.

144
00:09:32.280 --> 00:09:34.360
It's happening in Peru.

145
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:36.240
The culture is under attack.

146
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:41.640
All of a sudden people are waking up or falling to sleep and they're saying, I don't know

147
00:09:41.640 --> 00:09:43.080
if I'm a boy or a girl now.

148
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.240
It's not nothing to laugh about.

149
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:46.240
It's satanic.

150
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:47.240
Here's the reason why.

151
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:48.240
This is it.

152
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:49.240
Exactly right.

153
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:50.240
It's satanic because why?

154
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:51.240
Genesis 1.

155
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:55.680
God said, I made you in my image, Satan knows this.

156
00:09:55.680 --> 00:09:57.680
So he's attacking and I'll prove it.

157
00:09:57.680 --> 00:10:02.920
What's the result when a child has been told to question their gender?

158
00:10:02.920 --> 00:10:04.800
What is the result?

159
00:10:04.800 --> 00:10:06.280
Most often suicide.

160
00:10:06.280 --> 00:10:08.720
If not self-mutilation.

161
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.280
What's going on here?

162
00:10:11.280 --> 00:10:12.280
Yes.

163
00:10:12.280 --> 00:10:16.120
And we don't do anybody any favors by saying, oh, well, that's good for you.

164
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:17.120
You know what we're saying?

165
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:19.120
We're saying, you can establish your own truth then.

166
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:20.120
I'll have my truth.

167
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.080
You can make it and I'll have theirs in the other.

168
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:23.080
That's insanity.

169
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:24.080
It's demonic.

170
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.680
How can that possibly be?

171
00:10:26.680 --> 00:10:34.280
Jesus said that before he comes back, there's going to be a profound time of deception.

172
00:10:34.280 --> 00:10:36.480
These are the doctrines of demons.

173
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:39.720
You don't have to guess why I read that in my Bible.

174
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:44.880
And in the last days, there's going to be doctrines of demons in deceiving spirits.

175
00:10:44.880 --> 00:10:47.920
I wonder what that's going to be like.

176
00:10:47.920 --> 00:10:50.160
You're in it.

177
00:10:50.160 --> 00:10:51.160
This is it.

178
00:10:51.160 --> 00:10:58.400
I don't believe that America's hope and recovery, if that's what's to happen, is going

179
00:10:58.400 --> 00:11:01.040
to happen through any political power.

180
00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:03.000
I've never believed that.

181
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.200
People want me to wear that badge.

182
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.120
I won't wear it.

183
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:09.880
What did I say a long time ago?

184
00:11:09.880 --> 00:11:13.680
The Messiah is not going to be arriving on Air Force One.

185
00:11:13.680 --> 00:11:14.680
Just know that.

186
00:11:14.680 --> 00:11:16.680
And Jesus will never be on the ballot.

187
00:11:16.680 --> 00:11:19.360
He's not running.

188
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:20.840
So here's the thing.

189
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:23.840
Until he does come back, you're supposed to do the right thing.

190
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:24.840
That's called being a Christian.

191
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:27.120
That's called shining the light.

192
00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:28.600
That's called being salt.

193
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:29.600
You can't sit it out.

194
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:33.800
If you're an idol Christian, a spectator Christian, that's a serious problem.

195
00:11:33.800 --> 00:11:35.160
You've got to change that.

196
00:11:35.160 --> 00:11:36.560
You've got to get involved.

197
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:42.320
I travel the country and the people that I'm so inspired, I was just saying this on

198
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:48.960
the way over, that never give up our California Christian patriots, that you have every reason

199
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:54.400
to give up and to be demoralized because you're quote-unquote outnumbered, understand

200
00:11:54.400 --> 00:11:59.440
you've already made a sizable and measurable difference and impact.

201
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:05.880
The other parts of the country in Missouri or Indiana, they're profusely thanking

202
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:10.720
you for being able to at least move over one chamber of Congress.

203
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:12.720
But again, it goes back to what I said.

204
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:18.800
If you go through the subversion tactics that are being used against you, which I believe

205
00:12:18.800 --> 00:12:24.720
yes, are partly diabolical, if you read the literature of the KGB agents that used to

206
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:30.080
do this professionally, Yuri Besmanov was one of the most public.

207
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.040
We've done plenty of podcasts on him.

208
00:12:33.040 --> 00:12:40.800
He says, a nation that will go from capitalistic or free to Marxist or unfree must go through

209
00:12:40.800 --> 00:12:42.320
stages.

210
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.840
And these stages are not mistakes, they're by design.

211
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:45.840
That's right.

212
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:50.440
Now understand, his full-time job, Yuri Besmanov used to go into countries like Rhodesia,

213
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:51.800
formerly Zimbabwe.

214
00:12:51.800 --> 00:12:58.040
He'd go into countries and try to turn them from a free society to a Soviet Marxist government.

215
00:12:58.040 --> 00:13:00.200
That was his job.

216
00:13:00.280 --> 00:13:05.760
His job was to come in, do an analysis of the landscape, find out their weak points, find

217
00:13:05.760 --> 00:13:10.560
out how to destabilize them, so it's destabilization, then demoralization.

218
00:13:10.560 --> 00:13:14.680
He said destabilization is easy, he said we could do that, you know, wreck a currency, destroy

219
00:13:14.680 --> 00:13:17.040
an economy, he said that's simple.

220
00:13:17.040 --> 00:13:22.280
He said the part though that's tough is breaking the resolve of the people that inhabit the

221
00:13:22.280 --> 00:13:24.320
country you're trying to take over.

222
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.720
He said that's the challenge, and so they had to work out, how do you do it?

223
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.200
To take out leaders like James O'Keefe, you unfairly go after and put people in prison

224
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.280
like what they're trying to do right now to President Trump, right?

225
00:13:37.280 --> 00:13:43.840
You shut up their voice, which is the censorship regime that we've seen, right?

226
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.480
You unfairly go after the businesses that are financing it, which is what they're trying

227
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:56.480
to do, and more than anything else, you make the cost of believing greater than the

228
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:03.400
cost of giving up, meaning you make sure people suffer if they continue to believe the

229
00:14:03.400 --> 00:14:05.840
nation has any hope.

230
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.720
Also you medicate the society, that was part of it too, by the way, mass medication,

231
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:15.360
which legalization of weed, all these antidepressants, all that stuff, which is that's part of it.

232
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:19.280
And so then he says look, if you're able to get through the demoralization of the country

233
00:14:19.280 --> 00:14:20.280
is going to fall.

234
00:14:20.280 --> 00:14:28.360
You are living through a planned attempt to demoralize your opinion of America.

235
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:29.360
That's right.

236
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:32.040
I think it's actually freeing to know that that's what they're doing to you.

237
00:14:32.040 --> 00:14:35.560
Everything you see on TV, everything you see on social media, look to the lens of this

238
00:14:35.560 --> 00:14:39.040
is a planned attempt to get me to give up, am I going to do that?

239
00:14:39.040 --> 00:14:43.360
You might say, well, you know, we don't get involved in politics.

240
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.240
You, listen, what do you mean by that?

241
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:50.640
Honestly, you say that because you heard someone say that.

242
00:14:50.640 --> 00:14:51.480
You don't believe that.

243
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:54.200
You just, you don't want to get involved.

244
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:55.600
So you say that.

245
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:58.320
It's like the pastor who says, I just preached the gospel.

246
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.480
When pastors tell me that, I tell them, you need to repent.

247
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:08.560
Because you're supposed to teach the full council of God.

248
00:15:08.560 --> 00:15:14.920
After somebody's evangelized, which is preaching the gospel, the rest of the book is making

249
00:15:14.920 --> 00:15:16.840
disciples out of them.

250
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:22.560
How to live the life that you just now received from Christ, okay?

251
00:15:22.560 --> 00:15:25.880
But see, we live in a culture where there's a bunch of saved people and that's as far as

252
00:15:25.880 --> 00:15:27.440
they've gone.

253
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:30.040
That's if they're even saved.

254
00:15:30.040 --> 00:15:34.400
And you wonder because if you ask them, how did Jesus save you?

255
00:15:34.400 --> 00:15:36.080
What happened when you were saved?

256
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:37.080
What does it mean?

257
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:38.240
What did He do on the cross?

258
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:42.520
If you don't know the answers to that, then it didn't happen to you.

259
00:15:42.520 --> 00:15:43.520
Think about it.

260
00:15:43.520 --> 00:15:47.640
If you can't define what you believe in, then what is it that you believe in?

261
00:15:47.640 --> 00:15:51.120
So here we are, we don't get involved.

262
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.600
You have to get involved.

263
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:55.800
Because the alternative is apathy.

264
00:15:55.800 --> 00:15:56.800
That's what you're saying.

265
00:15:56.800 --> 00:15:59.600
You are just to find apathy.

266
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:05.840
When God says, I want you, listen to this, because you love me, the world's going to hate

267
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:11.440
you, but don't be bummed about it, the world hated me before they'll ever hate you.

268
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:14.040
Well let me ask you something, are you hated?

269
00:16:14.040 --> 00:16:18.880
I'm talking about in the world that you live in, the people that you have influence over,

270
00:16:18.880 --> 00:16:23.160
do they hate you because you love God?

271
00:16:23.160 --> 00:16:26.440
Do they hate you because they can't rattle your cage?

272
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:28.080
You pray for them?

273
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:35.680
Do they hate you because when they're sick you come and bring them soup?

274
00:16:35.680 --> 00:16:40.200
Jesus said, if you love me, they're going to hate you.

275
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.240
Don't you want to be like Jesus?

276
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:50.160
I want to be like Jesus, but it's really a strange thing because he was the most loved person

277
00:16:50.160 --> 00:16:54.880
that ever graced this planet at the same time he's the most hated.

278
00:16:54.880 --> 00:16:55.880
How is it?

279
00:16:55.880 --> 00:17:01.240
Your name is not a curse word, but his is.

280
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:06.920
Now is the time for us to shine the glory of the kingdom of God.

281
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:09.360
We happen to live in America.

282
00:17:09.360 --> 00:17:13.800
Right now we happen to have some freedom to do that still.

283
00:17:13.800 --> 00:17:16.960
We don't have the freedoms we had 10 years ago or five years ago.

284
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:20.200
Do you understand we are gradually losing these freedoms?

285
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:25.240
What will you do when the freedom is gone and your chance and opportunities over and you

286
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:27.680
have no, no voice anymore?

287
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:31.840
You're going to say, I wish I would have said something when I could have.

288
00:17:31.840 --> 00:17:33.600
Now is the time.

289
00:17:33.600 --> 00:17:35.000
I believe it was C.S. Lewis.

290
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:36.000
I'm not sure.

291
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:43.080
I think it's C.S. Lewis who said that I have found out in my life that the people who

292
00:17:43.080 --> 00:17:51.560
believe that heaven was the closest did the most in the world in the here and now.

293
00:17:51.560 --> 00:17:52.640
What a motivator.

294
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:54.840
I could be in heaven tomorrow.

295
00:17:54.840 --> 00:18:00.120
What that means is I want to do everything I can that's right for the kingdom so that

296
00:18:00.120 --> 00:18:03.840
if he comes for us all or for my life.

297
00:18:03.840 --> 00:18:09.240
I will be getting caught being busy about my father's business.

298
00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:11.040
That's what you want to do.

299
00:18:11.040 --> 00:18:15.320
That's what we want to do together with you.

300
00:18:15.320 --> 00:18:16.320
Yes please.

301
00:18:16.320 --> 00:18:22.960
I'm going to give two very simple action items that I've never shared at this church before.

302
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:23.960
It's so simple.

303
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:28.840
It's do not lie and don't let people lie to you.

304
00:18:28.840 --> 00:18:34.640
Those two things, it's way harder than you think.

305
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:41.360
That right there would put you on an alignment politically, morally, don't lie and don't

306
00:18:41.360 --> 00:18:42.360
let people lie to you.

307
00:18:42.360 --> 00:18:46.560
I say, well Charlie, I don't let people lie to me.

308
00:18:46.560 --> 00:18:47.560
Wow.

309
00:18:47.560 --> 00:18:48.560
Okay.

310
00:18:48.560 --> 00:18:53.320
You don't let people in your local school district lie to your kids about sexual perversion.

311
00:18:53.320 --> 00:18:58.520
You don't let your relatives lie about God and Jesus in the Bible.

312
00:18:58.520 --> 00:19:01.680
Do you stand up and say something with courage and boldness?

313
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:05.680
The most important one is of course first you not lying and the best way to do that is

314
00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:08.680
to follow Jesus because he didn't just say true things.

315
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:10.160
He was the truth.

316
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:13.240
Is the truth and he sets you free.

317
00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:18.960
The society right now feels like it's falling apart because of intentional demoralization

318
00:19:19.040 --> 00:19:27.080
but also because Satan, the author of lies, needs to be able to channel deceit in every

319
00:19:27.080 --> 00:19:28.920
possible corner.

320
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:32.920
Our greatest weapon is the truth.

321
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:33.920
Absolutely.

322
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.920
And that means you have to be brutally honest with yourself.

323
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:40.440
Am I really doing enough to try to pass a free society onto my grandkids?

324
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:41.440
Don't lie to yourself.

325
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:42.880
Maybe yes, maybe not.

326
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:44.400
Am I really doing that?

327
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:46.280
If the answer is yes, terrific.

328
00:19:46.280 --> 00:19:47.920
Answer for most people is no.

329
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:52.800
Am I really getting into uncomfortable situations to share the gospel every day with somebody

330
00:19:52.800 --> 00:19:53.800
I don't know?

331
00:19:53.800 --> 00:19:56.440
Find a stranger, tell them about Jesus.

332
00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:58.080
You doing that every day?

333
00:19:58.080 --> 00:20:03.120
Check out Lines in the grocery store, taxi cab drivers, flight attendants, hey, you're

334
00:20:03.120 --> 00:20:04.120
having a tough day.

335
00:20:04.120 --> 00:20:05.120
Do you believe in Jesus?

336
00:20:05.120 --> 00:20:06.120
Ah, that's too uncomfortable.

337
00:20:06.120 --> 00:20:07.120
We're going to see them again.

338
00:20:07.120 --> 00:20:08.120
Why not?

339
00:20:08.120 --> 00:20:11.280
Are you getting a place of uncomfortability?

340
00:20:11.280 --> 00:20:15.000
That kind of movement of evangelism of the spreading of truth.

341
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:20.960
I'll tell you, it's an action item that all of us can do instantaneously.

342
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:23.560
So look, I get accused of a lot of things.

343
00:20:23.560 --> 00:20:25.480
I have plenty of enemies, Jack.

344
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:29.640
And sometimes I get criticism from other Christians.

345
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:30.640
And they say, you're hateful.

346
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:31.640
You're all the sort of things.

347
00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:32.640
None of that is true.

348
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:34.640
But I say, look, I have two rules.

349
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.760
I will not lie to myself and I will not lie to my audience.

350
00:20:37.760 --> 00:20:41.080
And if that offends you, if that bothers you, then the truth bothers.

351
00:20:41.080 --> 00:20:43.720
And you got much deeper problems than that.

352
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:50.080
But if I can do one thing for all of you tonight, I can hopefully inspire or encourage you.

353
00:20:50.080 --> 00:20:54.800
You will be a happier, more joyful person, the more you speak, the truth.

354
00:20:54.800 --> 00:20:55.800
That is so powerful.

355
00:20:55.800 --> 00:20:56.800
100% true.

356
00:20:56.800 --> 00:20:57.800
That is so powerful.

357
00:20:57.800 --> 00:20:58.800
100% true.

358
00:20:58.800 --> 00:20:59.800
That is so powerful.

359
00:20:59.800 --> 00:21:00.800
100% true.

360
00:21:00.800 --> 00:21:01.800
That is so powerful.

361
00:21:01.800 --> 00:21:02.800
100% true.

362
00:21:02.800 --> 00:21:03.800
That is so powerful.

363
00:21:03.800 --> 00:21:04.800
100% true.

364
00:21:04.800 --> 00:21:05.800
That is so powerful.

365
00:21:05.800 --> 00:21:06.800
100% true.
