The Kingdom Light – Episode 1094

-Begin Transcript –

I’ve spoken a lot lately about how we need to be actively engaged in our world, in our country, all the way down to our own communities. On today’s program, I wanna expound on that a bit. Our lack of taking ownership and responsibility is actually what causes a lot of problems. And much of this boils down to a very familiar question.

It’s an old question. It’s been answered repeatedly, but it still gets asked. There’s a reason people keep asking, and we’ll get to that in a minute, but let’s first look at the question itself…

Why does God let bad things happen in this world?

Now there are variations to that question, but this is the question that people ask over and over whenever something bad happens. The question assumes that God should have prevented the tragedy, God should have prevented that death, He should have stopped that robbery, He should have stopped that rape from happening. Right? It places the blame on God. And that’s the reason we ask the question – mankind likes to blame God for our own messes.

You may say that’s harsh, but the truth often is. You see, the conclusion this leads us to IS the answer to the question. And it’s found in Genesis 1:26. Very simply, after creating everything in this world for us, God made mankind in His own likeness and gave him dominion over creation. In other words, He left us in charge. WE are the ones who screwed this world up, not God. So clearly, the buck stops right here with us.

How did we mess it all up? With sin. God’s creation was perfect. It was bountiful and sufficient for our needs. It was mankind who allowed sin to enter the world. The result was devastating. Sin acts like a cancer – mutating, devouring, and destroying everything it touches. Sin corrupted everything, including the hearts of men. It is those darkened hearts of men who commit unspeakable acts today – the very acts we then blame on God.

Hold on, if God is all-powerful, couldn’t He have prevented sin from entering the world? What this question really asks is, why didn’t God stop man from sinning and messing everything up? The nature of this question shows how much we still want to blame God rather than take responsibility for our sins. But we forget the truth of Genesis 1:26 – we’re made in God’s image, with self control and free will. What we do is still on us.

If God hadn’t designed us with our own free will, we would be more like robots than like God. He entrusted us with charge over ourselves and all the earth. That’s where our self control and responsibility comes in. He loved us enough to let us make choices on our own, while He simultaneously gave us directives for living. We choose whether or not to obey His will. By choosing sin, we must take ownership of all the consequences and repercussions.

How were we supposed to know the price for disobedience would be so high? God actually did warn us about the dangers of pursuing our own path. The book of Proverbs tells us more than once that the way that seems right to man will actually lead to death.

How is it free will if going our own way leads to death? This question assumes God just gave us orders like some dictator and punishes us for not doing what He says. In reality, God is Holy and His creation has an order or nature to it. He warns us for our own good not to go against the nature of things because He understands sin – going contrary to the established order – is what causes chaos, confusion, and death.

But didn’t God know that man would fail to be as Holy as He is? Yes, He did. He understood that being a free agent came with the possibility of making mistakes. But He also knew that we had the ability to learn far more from our mistakes than simply abiding by a set of rules. We needed to learn the reasons behind those rules and understand that rules exist for our own good.

Ultimately, God’s understanding of all of this is why He lovingly made a way for us to be redeemed from our sins. He came to earth as flesh in the form of Jesus, to live among mankind as one of us. During that time, He taught the guidelines and precepts for righteous living. He lived as an example to us, knowing full well that we would eventually realize that we can’t be holy apart from Him. We need Him in our lives daily in order to walk in righteousness.

And since we were all born into sin with the predisposition to follow the flesh, Jesus then became the blameless and perfect sacrifice for our sins. He endured torturous suffering and humiliation for our sake, and gave His life as an atonement for all sin – once and for all. God knows we’re not perfect within ourselves. But He loves us so much that He made it so we can be forgiven and able to live forever with Him.

So bad things will happen in this world because of mankind’s propensity to sin. Jesus even told us, “In this world, you will have troubles. But take heart, for I have overcome the world.” We don’t have to be overwhelmed by the worries of life, and we don’t need to be slaves to sin – all because Christ overcame all of it for us through His life, death, and resurrection.

It is by BELIEVING in Him that we are saved, not through our own works, that any man should boast. Good works DO have a place as we walk in His will, but that’s not what gets us into heaven. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me.”

Let’s stop blaming God for the awful things that happen due to the curse of sin, and let’s start thanking Him for showing us a far better way through His amazing love and kindness. God wants to work through us to effect righteous changes in this world. So instead of asking, why doesn’t God do this or that? – Ask yourself, what am I allowing God to do through me?

Life as a Christian is not a spectator sport. Sitting on the sidelines isn’t an option for a true born-again believer. Part of our duty and our commission is to positively affect the world around us for the benefit of the Kingdom. We need to make an impact, promote Godliness, and be the spiritual leaders that guide the conscience of our society. This includes engaging in the social and political arenas, acting as the voice of truth and demonstrating God’s love.

In fact, John Jay – who helped write the Constitution and went on to become the first Chief Justice – said this:

Yep. When we elect leaders, we ought to be voting for people who are professing Christians and whose platform best supports biblical values. Notice I didn’t say anything about perfect people who’ve never made any mistakes – they don’t exist. Jesus was the only one. As I’ve said many times, a candidate’s personality isn’t nearly as important as his/her platform and record of accomplishments. Not only should we vote that way, but more Christians should also be encouraged to run for offices where they can do the most good.

Finally, the dominion that was given to mankind in the beginning was squandered when sin entered the picture. That’s when our enemy, satan, laughingly took advantage of the situation and took what rightfully belonged to us for his own. He has ruled this world long enough, and it’s time to take back what he stole.

Let’s exercise that dominion God gave us, take responsibility for our own messes, and let’s show the world the way back to righteousness through the love and forgiveness of Christ.

Welcome to the show. Today I’m gonna talk about the state of our nation, as well as what we can do to help restore the republic. Folks, I believe that we have never been more close to losing our country than we are right now. There are so many efforts that are currently ongoing to rewrite history, change longstanding beliefs about America’s greatness, and utterly destroy the foundations upon which it was built.

If you want to know what’s really going on in the minds of the establishment elites running our country, you need look no further than the opinion section of The New York Times. Check out these recent articles and you’ll see what I mean:

Free and fair elections, free speech, the Constitution itself – everything that makes America great is a target of these people. They are greedy and power hungry. Anything and anyone standing in their way is called ‘dangerous’, is villainized, and they’ll go to any length to get the total control they desire.

Our Constitution has lasted as long as it had because it was designed upon Christian principles for a Christian nation. We are now in a Constitutional crisis because our country has become less and less Christian. John Adams said the Constitution was only written for a moral and religious people, wholly inadequate for any other people. The US either has to return to Christ or ditch the Constitution. Too many people now want to do the latter.

I believe there’s plenty of evidence that we’d be far better off getting our country back to God than to abandon our heritage as a Christian nation. Life in Jesus is true liberty. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Now, it can be challenging to explain this to the nonbeliever, but that’s exactly what we’re called to do.

Look, the simple fact is that the Constitution is what maintains limits on the government. Without it, the corrupt elites would finally complete their takeover and any semblance of freedom would vanish entirely. This is why they want to get rid of this document. Total control is their goal.

And the bottom line is that dark spiritual forces are what’s really behind this attack on our nation. Pushing us to abandon Christianity is in satan’s best interest. This is a spiritual war that we’re facing, and it must be fought accordingly. Prayer warriors have to get busy praying. God’s people need to stand ready to engage, to witness, to defend the faith, and to speak truth.

Week after week, this message is at the heart of each podcast. It is my calling to encourage fellow believers to take action. Every single one of us has a purpose and a duty in God’s army. We are commissioned by Christ to be His envoys to this world, to reach the lost, to hold up His standard, and to occupy the land until He returns. Are we doing that?

As Americans, we were born into the greatest nation on earth. We’ve been free all our lives. Even the worst events to happen on our soil can’t compare to the attacks, persecution, and slaughters that are commonplace in other parts of the world. That level of safety and liberty has spoiled us to the point that we seem to believe we’re immune to the kind of turmoil we see happening elsewhere.

Once in a while, some large-scale tragedy takes place here and wakes us from our slumber. Our sense of patriotism rises up. For a time, we even seem to unite against a common enemy. But then it all wears off. Inevitably, we return to our lackadaisical complacency, forgetting that which we swore we’d never forget.

But we need to get it through our heads that we aren’t special because we’re Americans. We’re not exempt from having the worst things that happen in other countries happen here. Thus far, we’ve been very blessed. But a large reason for that blessing and protection has been the Godly principles upon which this country was founded. If we keep turning our backs on God, how long before He removes His hand from us completely?

This is not a republican/democrat issue. It’s not a political issue. It’s not a fight between differing ideologies. This is a battle between good and evil. It’s a war that’s been going on for millenia, less than 250 years of which has included the United States. In the grand scheme of things, our nation is like a child that’s been sheltered for most of its life. But as the US has now come of age, the fight is coming to our doorstep. And we must decide which side we’re gonna be on – good or evil. This should be a no-brainer.

It is God who has blessed this country. It is Jesus who has been interceding on our behalf. It was the Christian precepts woven into our founding documents that afforded us so much liberty. It was the prayers of our predecessors that kept a hedge of protection on our schools and families. But we’ve foolishly moved away from that, allowing evil to gain a foothold.

Folks, standing by while our country is destroyed by wickedness just isn’t an option for us as Christians. We are supposed to be the guardians, the caretakers, the shepherds of the fold. Yet there aren’t only wolves at the gates, they’re already inside and attempting to devour the flock. The only question is, what are we prepared to do about it?

As I’ve said before, don’t be so preoccupied with the polarized politics of personalities. It’s not what you think about Trump or Harris or whoever that matters most. Make sure you align yourself with God first and foremost, and you’ll realize soon enough who’s standing shoulder to shoulder with you in the fight – and who’s opposing you as well.

Pay close attention to who and what someone calls “an existential threat to democracy.” Usually, it’s a far-left politician or the legacy media using those terms. What they really mean is: a threat to the controlling powers, the deep state, the establishment elite. And when they call us “right-wing radicals, religious nuts, and Christian nationalists,” you begin to see the scope of their hatred for us.

In Matthew 10:22, Jesus tells us plainly, “you will be hated by all for my name’s sake.” So this is to be expected. If you have some fear of being hated, or if you just can’t stomach the idea of being persecuted, mocked, or belittled because of your Christian faith – you’re gonna have to get over it. The world hated Jesus first. He endured greater scorn and suffering than we can imagine, and He did it out of love for us. And he told us in Matthew 16:24, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”

I’m telling you, folks, now’s the time. The only way to restore the republic is to get America back to God. That starts with you and me. So let’s pray…

God, give us wisdom. Open blinded eyes. Show us the path, embolden us to do what’s right, and guide us as we begin to restore Your ways as the law of the land. Keep our senses keen, our discernment sharp, and our resolve strong. Lord, as a nation that has selfishly strayed from You, we plead for Your mercy. Move us to repentance so that America would be saved, forgive our misdeeds, and heal the damage already inflicted upon our country and its people. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen!

Lies abound. False narratives are all around us. Deception is always used to distract us from the truth. It’s time to get wise to it all, but that means being intentional. We have to care enough to make the effort. It’s not enough to just realize maybe we were lied to about some things. We must overcome our apathy and complacency. We must actively and purposefully seek out truth. Only then can we understand the reasons for all the deceit.

We’re continually hit with a barrage of lies every day. Often times, the deceptions are so miniscule – so tiny in size – that we never even suspect. And with the advent of social media, yeah, it’s extremely prevalent in our daily lives. Let me give you an example…

A few years ago, I saw several posts making the rounds on Facebook which were designed to trick folks into sharing. A picture supposedly of Vietnam Veterans was actually a set photo of actors from a movie. Its caption read, “Why don’t pictures of heroes like this ever get any likes?” The unknowing casual scroller would then like and share it.

Then there was a photo circulating of a dog. The caption said something to the effect of, “I was horribly burned in a fire, but I bet no one will share.” However, the dog in the photo wasn’t burned. It was just a dog with a slice of ham laying on its face. That’s it. But the caption was enough to fool people into thinking what they were seeing was dog severely scarred from facial burns.

As ridiculous as that is, it was a deception. It fooled people. It guilted them into sharing it. And it gave people who shared it a feeling that they’d done some noble and caring thing. You may ask, “Why are you talking about this? How does it even matter?” And the fact that so many of us would simply brush this kind of thing aside as unimportant minutiae is part of the reason it’s still effective.

When the lie is so small, we don’t see much reason to point it out to others. We think it’s such a small thing – who cares? Right? But the pervasiveness of those tiny deceptions can have lasting effects. When lies aren’t exposed, they continue to circulate and deceive people. Ignoring it is like ignoring a small weed in your flower garden. It’s gonna grow bigger, multiply, and choke the life out of everything around it.

These deceptions have a diabolical purpose. They are used as distractions from the truth. Even the tiniest lie can serve to distract people from something evil going on right in front of them. Now today, with artifical intelligence being what it is, it’s easier than ever to deceive folks online. That means even more effective distractions.

I saw this one just the other day. Here’s what looks like an elderly woman holding a sign that says:

First of all, there are very few WW2 vets still alive anymore, let alone WW1 vets. But if this were an actual 97 year old woman, she’d have been born in 1927. World War 1 ran from 1914 to 1918. Yep, it’s AI fakery. Why does it matter? Again, all deceptions are distractions. And social media is a cesspool of these distractions that occupy our minds and numb us to the reality happening around us. It really is like a drug. We’re addicted to it, and it keeps us happily oblivious to truth.

This is why it’s so important to recognize and expose these everyday efforts to keep us doped up on comfortable lies. They feed our complacency, making us too lazy to care about the real truth. We remain docile, asleep to what the evil forces and corrupt bureaucrats are doing. We lose our rights and we never even notice. We sit idly by while our tax dollars either line the pockets of those bureaucrats or get spent on evil practices like abortion. We’re too distracted to notice and too numb to care.

The only way to break free from this nonstop cycle of delusion is to wake up and learn to recognize it. We have to realize the importance of taking seriously every deception, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem. Understand that it is ultimately satan – the deceiver – who benefits from our being distracted and lulled into complacency. And once we have broken out of that false belief system, we must help others escape it as well.

Now let me say that, yes, there are much larger deceptions going on that need to be exposed. The propaganda spread by the corrupt legacy media, the indoctrination happening in public schools and universities, and the lies we’ve been programmed to believe over the course of our entire lives – all these need to be revealed by the light of truth. But if we can’t bother with pointing out the smaller things, we’ll never convince anyone of the bigger ones.

We have to show the world these patterns of deception first. And we have to spend time in prayer. Ask God to bless our efforts. Ask Him to open people’s eyes and hearts to truth. Our words will only go so far. It is the Holy Spirit that acts on hearts and minds, freeing people to think for themselves instead of blindly believing everything they hear or every headline they read.

This waking up and breaking out won’t happen overnight, but it will happen. It IS happening right now. But only when people earnestly seek the truth do they find it. And it is the genuine seeking of truth that leads us to God. Lounging in the comfort of lies keeps us blissfully unaware, and that will lead us to a tragic end. Seek truth, speak truth, and make a lasting difference. That is the everyday call for we who live and walk in the Kingdom Light.

Today, I want to make you aware of one of the most used tricks of satan. As the enemy of God, his schemes always work counter to the good gifts that God gives to us. The Bible says satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy. It is the stealing aspect I want to deal with today. While God gives us joy, the enemy tries to steal that joy away. But the jewel he seeks to rob us of most often is the thing that is most crucial to maintaining our sanity in the midst of trials. Peace. The peace of mind that cannot be explained when the whole world seems to come against us, that is something that the devil truly hates. So he will always try to rob us of that peace, and he will sew turmoil in its place.

A while back when this podcast was still called The Kingdom Hero Show, I spoke of how I was forced to delete someone from my friends list because he had become a constant voice of mockery and visceral hatred toward my Christian faith. I took no joy in cutting him off. It simply had to be done. With social media so much a part of our lives now, we sometimes face the difficult decision of leaving certain people and parts of our past behind. It’s unfortunate that some folks seem to make it their mission to tear you down, and an occasional pruning is necessary for us to continue to grow.

There are indeed people out there who are, knowingly or not, acting as agents of evil to destroy our peace and provoke us to act out in rage. Here’s what one such person said recently about how she used to love getting on social media to steal peace from Christians…

[clip1]

The scripture she mentions is important, so let’s look at it…

JOHN 14:27

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Here, Jesus was speaking to His followers and preparing them for the days ahead. He spoke of a powerful gift of peace that He was giving them. This peace is not like anything they had perceived before. It would be strong enough to hold them steady when troubles came. It was a peace that could even prevent fear or distress from setting in when they held to it firmly, trusting in God no matter what.

This is perhaps one of the most amazing gifts the Lord has ever given us. I’ve often mentioned how someone might come to me and ask how I can keep my calm in the face of trials. “How do you stay so positive and confident, even when things go terribly wrong?” The answer is always the same: my confidence is not based on earthly things, but on the peace that only God gives. It’s incomprehensible to people who don’t have the faith we do. It is truly a “peace that surpasses understanding.”

But I’m here to tell you today that satan is very clever in how he goes about his attempts to steal your peace. Take, for example, that opening ceremony of the Olympic games a few weeks ago. Such mockery of our faith naturally causes outrage. And while I believe we were right to call it out for what it was, we should also be able to show the world that we remain unmoved by it. Not that it didn’t affect us at all, but that as an attack against our minds, it was unsuccessful. What do I mean? Please pay close attention here…

Our minds are the battlefield on which dark spiritual forces wage war on us. By attacking our faith in such a manner, with wicked imagery and symbolism, this was the enemy trying to pick a fight. When hell’s forces attempt to manipulate us, we have to understand the reaction they are trying to evoke and why. If we let them provoke us to anger, it could lead to an unholy response. There is such a thing as “righteous anger” when we carefully obey the command which says to “be angry and sin not.” But our enemy knows how hard it is for us to not give in to the flesh when provoked to anger.

If an openly paganistic display like that can be used to manipulate our response, satan will use it to steal away our peace. Then he will have not only mocked our faith but made us appear as hypocritical in the process. For him, that’s a win-win. We have to be aware of his methods, hold on to our peace of mind, and respond accordingly. Otherwise, the enemy will successfully plant turmoil within us and cause us to fall right into his trap.

So how do we maintain peace in turmoil? Let’s look at what happened in Paris after this example took place. French people spoke out against the display, yes. Many even apologized to the world for it. But what started happening in the streets of Paris immediately following? Riots? No. Did people start burning buildings? No. Believers gathered and began singing songs of praise and worship to God.

[clip2]

I’m sure that wasn’t the response the enemy was hoping for. But when we hold on to the gift of peace, we make those evil forces look completely foolish.

What was meant to instill turmoil, to provoke an angry unrest, and to make Christianity appear hostile and hypocritical, instead caused Christians to unite in one voice of peaceful worship to God. While it might have made some of us angry upon first glance, the peace that only God gives is what won out. The scheme of satan failed. And glory was given to God in front of the whole world.

I’d imagine Lucifer turned to one of his lieutenants and remarked, “Clearly THAT didn’t work.” But you’d better believe he moved right on to the next plot to steal our peace. As children of God, we don’t have to fear whatever might be coming next. Remember…

2 TIMOTHY 1:7

God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Using what God has given us, we can face every attack of hell. And where the enemy wants to bring about turmoil, we can instead see peace prevail.

Shalom shalom, my friends, and keep shining the Kingdom Light.

The Kingdom Light – Episode 1090

With each passing day, it feels like we’re headed toward something. It’s like time is winding down, and any day now could be the day some major event changes everything. Have you felt that? I certainly have. Even with all the wild stuff that’s happened lately, none of it really seemed as shocking as it should have. It’s like, I’m already expecting something really big to happen, so I’m not at all surprised by the things that have happened so far.

If you’re tuned into the Holy Spirit, you can likely sense a growing angst among mankind. From the situation in the middle east with Israel and the unrest with her neighbors, to the polarized political divisions here in the US, it is increasingly evident that our world is like a powder keg. The fuse is lit, and it could explode at any moment.

God revealed an important lesson to me in a recent dream. In this dream, I’m on a plane with a lot of people. Something goes wrong with the engines and we end up in a free fall. We’re high above the clouds, so it’s gonna take some time for us to hit the ground. But it is certain that we’re all going to die very soon. My gut instinct is to start sharing Jesus with everyone.

“Anyone here who doesn’t know Jesus, let me introduce you to Him right now,” I say loudly. I tell them about His love and mercy, His plan of salvation, letting them know that this is not the end. I tell them about eternal life in Christ and how we need not fear death. Eventually, my words turn into rejoicing as the clouds draw closer because we’re about to be with Jesus forever!

Just before we’re all enveloped within the clouds, the dream shifts. I’m now in a church giving a testimony about my free fall dream. I’m telling the crowd of people everything I just told you – falling, sharing Jesus, the whole thing. And it becomes obvious that this is how we should be trying to reach the lost in our present day. The end is near, we know it. The world is in free fall, and time is growing short. We should be desperately attempting to save as many people now as we possibly can.

Folks, I implore you. It’s time to get serious about our great commission. Reaching the lost has never been more important than it is right now. Petty political differences are meaningless. That fear you have of looking like a crazy person talking about the end times means nothing now. All that matters is saving souls from an eternity in hell.

God made a way for us. In His infinite grace, He provided an escape. Knowing that we could never live up to His holy and righteous standards on our own, knowing the power of sin is more than we alone could overcome, He sent Jesus to live a sinless life and then die as sacrifice for all sin. Then Christ conquered death for us as well!

We don’t have to understand every single aspect of it. We don’t have to get a degree in theology. We don’t have to be perfect or sinless to accept His free gift of salvation. Jesus lived the life none of us could. Jesus paid the price of sin so none of us would need to. We don’t have to die in our sins because Jesus already defeated death, hell, and the grave. We can live forever with God by simply believing in Jesus!

This is the Gospel message the world needs to hear. God loves you, my friend. He loves you so much because you’re His creation, His child. I believe He gave me that dream to give you this message. Time is almost up. We have to put aside every offense, every hurt feeling, every grudge, every difference we have with our fellow man, and share Christ and this Gospel message in love. And we have to do it right now. I cannot stress this enough.

Folks, the Bible tells us from the prophet Joel and in the book of Acts – in the last days, God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, young men will see visions and old men will dream dreams. Well I guess that makes me an old man because I’ve been dreaming these dreams about the end times for the last few years. God has been revealing things that have blown my mind, and I’m telling you we are getting very close to the end.

I don’t care if you think I’m crazy. I don’t care anymore what the world thinks of me when I share Jesus. That’s our job as Christians. I will not be silent. I will not stand down. I will stand up and stand firm on the truth my God has shown me, and I will proclaim His Word until He calls me home. I pray you will do the same, and may God bless you and give you the right words to say in season as you help spread the Good News of Christ.

Hey, everyone. Go ahead and smash that LIKE button for me. If you haven’t already, please subscribe to this show on Spotify and Rumble. It costs you absolutely nothing to follow the podcast, but it helps us know you’re out there and that you value what we’re doing. And of course, I ask you to share this on your social media, as well. Thanks so much doing for that.

On today’s program, I wanna talk more about the establishment propaganda machine. Since the beginning, evil’s main method of deception has been to misrepresent the position of God. The serpent lied to Eve about God’s position in the Garden of Eden. For centuries, people have been lied to regarding the position of Christianity. And for several years now, the masses have been lied to about the position and beliefs of the MAGA crowd. It’s all the same misrepresentation, based on lies, and it has to be called out.

Let me start off by asking you two questions. 1) Have you ever had lies told about you? 2) Have you ever believed something about someone and later found out it wasn’t true? Well, I’ve had both things happen to me. Rumors once floated around about me and a married woman I was friends with. All of it was false, but I know a lot of folks believed it. And I also was guilty of forming an opinion about a co-worker based on things I thought I knew, only to one day realize that I was totally wrong. Both events were humbling, making me aware of how easy it is to be misrepresented or mislead.

Years ago, I made a video about how the world’s view of Christianity gets skewed by those who would misrepresent our beliefs. People take scriptures out of context and claim Christians believe this, that, or the other, when none of it has any basis in fact.

[GC clip]

This same thing has always been around – evil making itself look good while making good look evil. Perception of lies isn’t a wisdom we’re born with, but one we must strive for every day.

Today, lies are repeated continually, including tons of lies about MAGA folks. The legacy media, controlled by the establishment elites, would have you believe that the MAGA crowd is a bunch of dangerous cultists who worship Donald Trump and seek to destroy democracy. I can’t rightly fault those who actually believe this stuff because I understand – at least to some extent – the depth of the ongoing deception.

And so, I see posts almost every day from dear friends of mine who obviously subscribe to these widespread lies. As you know, when a lie is repeated enough times, it is accepted as truth. It could be lies about you, lies about your faith, or lies about your political stance. And as someone who counts himself among those labeled MAGA, I know for a fact that we’re being lied about all the time. My friends who believe all those things but know me well enough to never accuse me personally of being like the ones they criticize; probably think I have some misunderstanding of what MAGA is. But the truth is, MAGA has been grossly misrepresented to them.

First of all, “Make America Great Again” was not a phrase coined by Donald Trump. I distinctly recall Bill Clinton using those exact words during his initial campaign for the presidency. True enough, it has become a slogan for supporters of Trump. But the intentions of we who are called “MAGA extremists” are complete fabricated.

The truth? MAGA isn’t extreme at all. It is a growing number of citizens who love the country and are tired of seeing it destroyed by the deep state that is moving us more and more toward a socialist cesspool. MAGA doesn’t want government controlling every aspect of our lives – we want the exact opposite of that. We believe our government has been corrupted by evil forces within the establishment, and we want power returned to the people. MAGA doesn’t want to destroy democracy, but rather we want to restore the republic – the republic being a limited democracy where the government is restricted BY THE CONSTITUTION and individual liberty is protected.

Unfortunately, the lies about MAGA – and about Trump, for that matter – still hold sway over a lot of people’s minds. No amount of arguing seems to affect that. They simply believe one set of things to be true, while we believe another set of things. They either think that we are every terrible thing stated about MAGA or that we’re deceived ourselves, while we believe it is they who are deceived about what’s true. The lies have been repeated and accepted as truth.

DC establishment operatives continue to accuse their opposition of the very evils they have committed. They claim Trump will be a dictator who will never give up power. That’s a pretty ridiculous thing to say about a 78-year-old man who has given up much of his own wealth in service to the country. He should be relaxing on a yacht somewhere enjoying his golden years, but he instead is battling constant threat to try and restore the nation he loves. They make him out to be Hitler, and then feign shock when someone tries to kill him. They incite the very violence that they turn around and blame him for.

But as I’ve said before, this isn’t even about Trump – as much as they’d like to make it about him. Bottom line…America isn’t going to be saved or restored by any one person, outside of Christ Himself. Those of us who trust in God know this. But there is soon coming a time when all the lies will be exposed. The deception will fall apart. The veil over people’s eyes, minds, and hearts will be lifted. Truth will be undeniable. I just keep praying that day is sooner than later, but it will happen in God’s timing.

Meanwhile, I don’t hate anyone. My faith in Jesus Christ prevents me from doing that. I genuinely want what’s best for our nation. Restored freedom. A government that’s cleansed of corruption. A thriving economy. And God-given rights unincumbered by bureaucracy. That’s what MAGA is truly about. All this other insanity is straight-up propaganda intended to divide the country and keep us under the thumb of the deep state crooks.

So we can fall into the trap of fighting each other, but that won’t solve anything. Let me instead make this challenge to you: If you believe I’m deceived and totally mislead about things, please pray for me. Pray that my eyes will be opened to the truth. That’s exactly what I’m gonna do for those I believe are deceived by a narrative that has misrepresented my position and that of so many others.

God bless you, God bless America, and keep shining the Kingdom Light.

Last weekend, I made a call for Christian warriors to get in position to be used by God. The reason? Souls are at stake. Unfortunately, there are millions of people today who don’t realize the true worth of their souls.

– Show Intro –

Remember when you thought someone selling their soul to the devil was just an expression? Well buckle up, y’all. People have actually done just that. We’ll get into it in a moment…

Did you know that you can hear encouraging Christian music 24/7 wherever you are? Yep, it’s called Kingdom Radio. All the encouragement, none of the commercials. Fire it up from TheGCMedia.com/radio, again that’s TheGCMedia.com/radio. You can also get Kingdom Radio on your phone or tablet using the Listen2MyRadio app. You’ll find it in the Google Play store and the Apple app store. Download the Listen2MyRadio app to your wireless device, open it up, hit the search button, punch in the keyword “Kingdom” – BOOM! You can take Kingdom Radio everywhere. Bookmark it, save it as a favorite station, and share it with your friends!

Alright, let’s go. As you may know, the entertainment industry is loaded with people who have placed fame and fortune above everything else. Not everyone, but far too many. They are so focused on THIS life and what they can attain in the here and now that they aren’t seeing the bigger picture of eternity.

Even worse, we’ve seen some who appear to have actually sold their souls to the devil for wealth and fame here on earth. So many music artists went from innocent sounding happy-go-lucky types to hardcore in-your-face wicked. And it seemingly happened overnight.

Taylor Swift is a prime example. I was still a country music DJ back when she first came on the scene. I recall her being all peppy and, you know, normal. But then something awful happened. I believe she quite literally sold her soul to satan. All of the sudden, she became this uber-famous and wealthy, highly successful superstar. And have you SEEN her radical change?

But it gets even worse. Taylor herself has claimed to now be a witch. And these shots from her videos are downright demonic.

She is now a billionaire. But at what price? Her soul? Heaven help her. The really scary thing is, there are others who appear even more evil than Taylor. Beyoncé, Doja Cat, Lil Uzi Vert – whose name was chosen because it sounds like little lucifer – and more are among those who have embraced the dark side.

Truthfully, y’all, I am barely scratching the surface on how hellish it’s gotten out there. So many people have decided to trade off their souls for the limelight, money, and notoriety. We have to pray for these people, seriously. They have become the tragic posterchildren for the Bible passage found in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, which says:

What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?

Folks, your soul is worth so incredibly much more than most people realize. Satan wants to drag as many souls as possible to hell, and he’ll do whatever he can to accomplish this. This is why we’re in the soul-saving business. God desires everlasting joy and peace for your soul, whereas the other route leads it to eternal torture and damnation.

Those who think the riches and fame they can get right now in this life by selling out to evil is more important than what happens to their soul after they die – for them, it’s all about how much wealth and how many followers they can attain. The devil has promised them everything they want if they’ll just turn over their souls to him. What a frightening prospect.

But the Bible tells us that the love of money is the root of all evil. We are warned about placing so much stock in the things of this life.

Matthew 6:19-21

19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Everything in this life is temporary. All the material things are temporary. Those shiny things, expensive things, pleasing things – they are all temporary. And compared to eternity, this life is so very short. Why focus so much on the temporary stuff when eternity is so much longer and none of those things are of consequence there?

How do we lay up treasures in heaven? By following the commands of Christ. By helping those in need. By caring for widows and orphans. By doing all the righteous things God’s Word tells us to do. And leading souls that are gone astray back to Jesus is one of the greatest ways to build up treasure in heaven. Remember: Verse 21 indicates that, if our treasure is in heaven, then our hearts will show it through our deeds.

The value of a soul is enormous! Don’t give it away for fleeting pleasures. Gaining everything this world has to offer will mean nothing on judgement day. All that will matter then is, is your name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life?

Last week, I talked to you about the importance of finding your purpose – the true reason for your existence. God has already equipped many of His people for what’s about to happen, and He also wants to equip you. This year, things seem to have accelerated. Evil isn’t hiding its face anymore. Get ready. Get in position to be used by God. The time is NOW.

– Show Intro –

Okay, I love the passage of scripture we’re gonna focus on today. I had planned to read it myself, but I came across this TikTok from a young lady who was also led recently to this passage – so I’m gonna let her get us started, and I want you to pay close attention to everything she shares here.

2 Timothy 2:20-21

20 In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. 21 Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

She’s right on target, folks. And one part of what she said especially stood out to me. There are some people who are along your path who need YOU to witness to them. There are people God is going to bring into your space, okay, who maybe won’t accept the Gospel message from others – from a preacher or whatever – but they will be primed and ready to listen to YOU.

Now you might say, how? Why me? How can I minister to anyone? What do I have to offer that anyone would listen to me and come to know Christ? Guess what. Those are fantastic questions. So take those questions to God and be ready to obey whatever He wants you to do. All you have to be is obedient.

You’ve heard it said, God doesn’t call the equipped, but He equips the called. So just answer the call. Offer yourself to God as a willing vessel – but like she said, let go of anything and everything that holds you back from being used for His most noble of purposes…winning souls.

One of the first things you may have to get rid of in your life that’s holding you back is doubt. As long as you doubt your usefulness to God, you will remain pretty useless. Realize that doubt is like a heavy chain of bondage. It holds you prisoner as long as you hold on to it. Let it go. Obey God and HE will do the work THROUGH you.

Moses had a speech impediment. At first, he doubted his usefulness in freeing God’s people from Egypt. But he obeyed God, and he’s now known for leading the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery. David was just a young boy when God called him. He was too small to wear armor, but he was skilled with a slingshot. Even though Goliath was a giant, David brought him down with one rock. Why doubt what God can do through YOU?

And here’s the awesome part. When you obey, that’s when the miraculous happens. Take a look at this young man preaching the good news on a street corner, and watch what happens as a result…

Praise God! That’s powerful! For you listening to the audio only, after speaking about the gift of eternal life, this guy who’s just out there obeying God makes an alter call right there on the street corner, and almost immediately after the invitation is made, a transgender man – a man who has been identifying as a woman – he was there in that place at that time by God’s design, and he came forward to accept Jesus Christ. It’s beautiful.

Folks, that’s what we’re called to do. Obey God and make a difference in where people spend eternity. But we must let go of doubt, fear, and whatever holds us back. We have to get rid of prideful things or any sin that’s keeping us from living up to our potential. But most of all, we just need to be obedient. Answer the calling on your life and do it now.

Yes, that young girl was right. 2024 is already a crazy time to be alive, and the enemy is ramping up for spiritual war. We who are called need to suit up, get in position, and stand ready. There’s no more time for playing around. No more time for Sunday morning Christianity only. No more time for dabbling in just a weensy bit of sin on Friday and Saturday night thinking we’ll get right with God again tomorrow.

No! That won’t fly, saints. We have a mission! We have a purpose and a calling. It’s time for men and women of God to stand up and fall in line for battle. Souls are at stake. That person you work with that you think is too far gone and on their way to hell – they might just need you to show them the love of Jesus. You could be the one who alters that person’s eternal destination.

Are you really gonna sit by and let people slip into damnation just because you’re afraid of trying? Come on, hear it, Stace. I’m talking to myself as much as anyone else here. We have to get serious about saving souls NOW, y’all! Time is running out. We stand at the precipice of the end of the age, and God is calling all His warriors into position for such a time as this!

So pray up, suit up, and get in the fight! God bless and keep shining the Kingdom Light!

On today’s program, I wanna share with you a personal testimony of how God continues to work on me. No, I don’t have everything together yet. I’m not in any way, shape, or form perfect. And I’m soooo glad that God cares enough to keep chipping away my rough edges. This testimony is still fresh for me. It is my hope that you will find a great lesson within it. Stay tuned…

– Show Intro –

Welcome to The Kingdom Light, where CHRIST is KING and TRUTH MATTERS! Our mission: To shine the Kingdom Light in an otherwise dark world!

Alright, I’m just gonna jump right into this ’cause I feel it’s important and someone out there needs to hear it. Let me start by saying, I am still capable of learning new stuff. Thankfully. When I started putting notes together for this episode, I was about to title it, “The Profoundness of Purpose.” But as I was typing the word profoundness – which I apparently made up because it’s not a real word – my predictive text suggested the word profundity. I was like, huhm. And wanting to make sure I was using the right term, I asked my phone to define profundity…

There it was: the quality or state of being profound; depth. Yep, that’s what I was looking for. Hey, I learned something! Now, I had considered myself to be a fairly intelligent person, right? But I didn’t recall ever hearing or learning the word profundity before. See, we often need to be reminded that we haven’t quite learned everything yet. The problem is, too often, we fail to be teachable.

That’s where my testimony begins. I started GCM in 2011 with fire and motivation. I was actively seeking lessons in the Word so I could share them with my viewers. Over time, I gradually began to drift ever-so-slightly to the boundaries of my path. It wasn’t on purpose, I was just allowing other people’s video content to influence me a little bit. That in itself seemed natural and harmless at first. After all, our own personalities can be easily influenced by those around us.

As the years moved along, the ministry God gave me began to change with the times – also very natural. By the time I got into podcasting, I’d been greatly influenced by other podcasters that I liked. My own show became fashioned more and more after those of people like Dan Bongino and Charlie Kirk. Okay, perhaps there’s nothing wrong with finding patterns that work for other people and using them myself. But it progressed to a point where I was often not being ME as much as I was being LIKE SOMEONE ELSE.

Because of this, producing my own content became less and less of a thing I thoroughly enjoyed doing anymore. I was losing my sense of purpose as long as I was trying so hard to just put something out there that was patterned after someone else’s show. I was making things more difficult and complicated, which led to a number of lengthy gaps where I was doing basically nothing with GCM. It became stagnate and unfruitful.

I was very upset that this ministry had become more like a bothersome chore than a personal calling. Honestly, I let that fact cripple me to where I felt like I might never revive GCM. The enemy kept whispering that I should just let it go. “You had a good run. It’s okay to retire from it now and just enjoy life.” (pause) What a bunch of loser talk! God didn’t make me a quitter!

It was during this past year’s long hiatus from podcasting that God finally got my attention and caused me to refocus. He took me back to the beginning of GCM – where it all began, how He had called me, and how simple and natural it was to just follow wherever He would lead me. He inspired me to reproduce all of the old videos I’d done on YouTube, and to re-release them on Rumble. And it was in the midst of THAT when I realized my purpose.

While I was in the beginning stages of releasing The GC Revisited, I heard the words of Pastor Eddie Cupples one Sunday. You know how sometimes you’ll hear a profound truth and then God begins to download an entire lesson around that truth? I love when that happens! Well, God’s message to me was clear. In fact, I shared it in a post earlier this year.

Boom. I finally understood why things had gotten so complicated and where I’d gotten off track. And folks, this is exactly why that episode I did a few weeks ago was titled, “Getting Back to Our Roots.” Anyone who has followed GCM long enough will notice that The Kingdom Light podcast is much more like the original GC web-series and less like other people’s podcasts.

God called me to be ME. And He called you to be YOU. Never ever forget that. And when we are faithful to follow His purpose for our lives, He is faithful to equip us for every circumstance. Not only that, but discovering our true purpose gives meaning to our lives. It’s a source of strength and happiness. God wants that for you, and so do I.

On today’s program, we’re gonna talk about the ongoing propaganda efforts of the deep state. This is something that has existed for decades, perhaps longer. It affects our perceptions and shapes our views of the world we live in daily. And the reality is, most people are completely unaware of it.

– Show Intro –

Welcome to The Kingdom Light, where CHRIST is KING and TRUTH MATTERS! Our mission: To shine the Kingdom Light in an otherwise dark world!

Okay, let’s get into this. Right away, lots of people will call this a conspiracy theory. But as we’ve seen in the last few years, plenty of those so-called conspiracy theories have proven themselves to be 100% fact. We must be active truth-seekers, uncovering and exposing every deception and scheme of hell. Still, feel free to be skeptical of what I’m about to share with you. In fact, I highly encourage you to do your own research on the matter. I have, and this is what I’ve found…

Have you heard of “OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD?” You don’t have to take my word for it, but it’s real. It’s part of a covert plan to control what the masses believe is true about pretty much everything. I’m not talking about MK Ultra mind-control stuff. No, I’m referring to a diabolical plot being carried out by evil forces within our own government using wide-spread propaganda dispersed through the media outlets they control.

How does it work? I’m glad you asked. Pay close attention. On any given day, the CIA puts out talking points to various media outlets at approximately 4AM. It lets the media know what they are to say that day and the narratives to repeat and emphasize. The brainwashing is highly effective because people tend to believe whatever the news programs say. With the same messages being repeated over and over again throughout the day and on numerous networks, people automatically accept those narratives as truth.

Example: How many times did we hear or read the exact phrase “baseless claims of election fraud”? Time and time again after the 2020 election, it was said to be “the most secure election in American history.” Even though it’s basically impossible to ensure the veracity of all those mail-in ballots used due to the covid scare and people being told by every outlet how “dangerous” it would be to vote in person. Every time evidence was brought up about abnormalities with the drop-boxes, dead people voting, more ballots than registered voters, etc., it was quickly brushed aside and labeled misinformation by the media. They had their marching orders. They had their story, and they stuck to it.

But make no mistake, this wasn’t JUST about the stolen election of 2020. It wasn’t just about the repeated lies surrounding covid and suppression of viable treatments that could have saved lives. There’s way more to it than that. I’m talking about something sinister, folks, and it runs deep.

[clip1: news parroting]

Incredible. All these little birdies keep singing the exact same song. And that’s why it’s called Operation Mockingbird. It’s nothing short of government controlled brainwashing propaganda. And unfortunately, it works all too well.

Now THIS part I want to make very clear: Yes, this is utilized to control the popular political narratives, but I said before that it runs deeper than that. The people and powers that wish to control you want to control EVERYTHING you think and do. It’s not limited to just politics. The scope is enormous. And when you realize how much all those media outlets rely on what they’re told to say, well, you start to see just how ridiculous they sound.

[clip2: news parroting]

Yeah, that sounds funny. All of them reading from the same script, it’s crazy. And trust me, that clip was cut way down. It went on and on for several minutes, to the point that it got monotonous. I really didn’t want to put you through that, but do you start to see how incredibly evil this is? You simply cannot look at these news programs the same after seeing this. And, by the way, there’s a reason they’re called “programs.” They are programming US!

This project started well over 50 years ago and is designed to make the American public think, feel, and believe what they want you to think, feel, and believe. It is also designed to make you feel that the majority of people feel the same way. Whoever controls the distribution of information controls what the populous thinks. News outlets you trusted for years have merely been puppets whose strings are pulled in secret by governmental shadow agencies.

When voices of truth arise, the powers that be label them as false stories of misinformation, and the media parrots this notion ad nauseum, just like they do everything else. Operation Mockingbird is just one of many clandestine efforts to control every aspect of our daily lives. Seriously, everything! From politics to consumerism to what foods are good for us and what’s not.

Yes, they even seek to control how we see the world we live in. Right and wrong. What wars are just, and which ones aren’t. Who to support and who to shun. Who’s guilty and who’s not. Religion, abortion, gay and trans activism, feelings over facts, it goes on and on. We’ve been fed a constant diet of lies for so long, the dark truths they’ve kept hidden would no doubt astonish us all.

We must hold them accountable, and we must never stop seeking out the truth. When they label you as fanatic, deplorable, right-wing, an election-denier, or a passer of misinformation, that’s when you know you’re close to the real truth. Remember, it’s when you’re right over the target that you catch all the flak. Don’t let ’em back you down. Stay on the path of truth, and let the Kingdom Light show you the way. And no, I’m not talking about this podcast.

Keep yourself prayed up, y’all. Ask God to increase your powers of discernment. Stay in the Word daily. And learn to recognize those attempts to control you. Truth sets us free, and that truth is found in Jesus. God bless, and keep shining the Kingdom Light.
