Changing the Culture

The Kingdom Light – Episode 1098

-Begin Transcript –

For too long now, our society’s attitude and mindset has been hijacked. The culture has been dictated by the perverse whims of evil forces infesting the film industry, music industry, and even our own government. Darkness cannot be allowed to prevail any longer. It is our duty to turn people back to the light.

On today’s program, we’re going to look at how WE – the church – can be the driving force in changing the culture and returning hearts and minds back to God. As I’ve said before, this constitutional republic was designed for a moral and religious people. It doesn’t work well for a nation deeply corrupted by evil practices. We have to return to Christ, or toss out the Constitution. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out which one is best.

Days prior to the 2024 presidential election, I posted this:

Why did I bring this up? Because it has been the evil forces controlling the media that has molded the public misperception of both Trump and all the people who support him. The continual lies have convinced close to half the population that he’s an evil dictator and his MAGA followers are a bunch of fascist bigots. This is the same song they’ve been singing since 2015.

When Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016, she accused him of cheating. She was the “election denier” who called him “an illegitimate president.” The legacy media pundits promoted the same lie. But when they rigged the 2020 election with covid, changing the voting rules, falsifying truck loads of mail-in ballots – they said it was “the most secure election in history.”

There was so much fraud surrounding the 2020 election. We saw video surveillance of poll workers running thousands and thousands of ballots for Biden after kicking out the poll watchers, closing the doors, and saying they were stopping the counting for the night. Numerous whistleblowers came forward to admit fraudulent activities, including truck drivers who shipped hundreds of thousands of ballots across state lines. I don’t want to rehash it all, but there was plenty more suspicious activity – but the media told us, nope, no evidence of any fraud whatsoever.

After the landslide results of the 2024 election, we have a unique opportunity to examine the numbers from previous elections in a new light. The goal was to make it too big to rig, and large numbers of early voting helped make it to where it was just too difficult to cheat. So what do the numbers say about past elections? Let’s take a look…

First of all, how do you make sense of the anomalous nature of 2020 totals as compared to those before and after?

An average of 15 to 20 million more total votes in 2020? And can you guess who they were all for? Here’s what Benny Johnson said…

Here’s a tweet from Collin Rugg. Look at these numbers…

For any of you who doubted us in 2020, calling us election deniers and the like, do you maybe see now how we might be a little bit suspicious of those numbers? If that doesn’t drive the point home for ya, perhaps this graph will…

How do you possibly explain that large blue bar representing democrat votes in 2020 compared to the previous elections AND the one since? If you’re listening to the audio only, go watch this on Rumble or look at the transcript available at TheKingdomLight.com. This graph, to me, tells the story quite well.

Guess what? The job’s not done. The lies haven’t stopped. We still have a battle between two opposing world views. On one side, they keep saying Trump is a misogynistic creep – while back here in the real world, He just named his campaign manager Susie Wiles to become the very first female White House Chief of Staff. Hmmm.

But let’s get back to today’s topic. This isn’t about Donald Trump. It’s about us. The overwhelming results giving him a victory also gave him a mandate. Likewise, the same God that gives us victory gives us a mandate as well. It is OUR responsibility that I really want to talk about. The answer to changing the culture is simple: Do our job. Lead people to Christ.

See, I showed you all this to illustrate how easy it has been for a motivated group of establishment elites to control the narrative, thereby controlling what a large portion of our society thinks. Here’s the thing – we don’t need to control people’s thinking, but rather, we need to help FREE them from these evil influences. It’s our job to destroy the lies and help people see the truth, to bring them out of darkness and into the light.

Okay, how do we do that? How can we effectively change this culture that’s been taken over by satan and his minions? We must be more motivated to win than the enemy. Fortunately, we have a great example in the person of Jesus Christ. What did He do?

When Jesus came on the scene, He challenged people’s thinking. He organized a small group of people who were hungry for truth, and He instructed them in how to reach others with the greatest news of all time – the Kingdom of God is at hand! The curse of sin is broken, and the light has come into the world! What am I saying? I’m saying it all comes back to spreading the Gospel of Christ. That’s our prime directive, our mandate, our Great Commission.

Why does this matter so much? Especially in the current culture? This generation is filled with people who have been blinded by lies. We have to expose the truth that sets them free. And the closer they come to God, the more ability they will gain to see through the false narratives of this world. The Holy Spirit brings power, and we all need it.

Isaiah 9:2

We want this scripture to be true for America. So we need to pray harder than ever for God to open the eyes of the blind. And let’s stop waiting to see what the enemy will do next. There’s a culture to change and souls to save. We’ve been on defense for too long now. It’s time to go on the offensive, storm the gates of hell, and fulfill our mandate to spread the Kingdom Light.

Atonement

The Kingdom Light – Episode 1097

-Begin Transcript –

Being at peace with God is a wonderful, restful and refreshing thing. Knowing you are forgiven, accepted and in right standing with your Maker is a powerful place that you never want to leave. The closer we get to Jesus returning, the more important it is to know you are right with God. On today’s program, I wanna deal with how we can have assurance that we’re ready to be called home.

First, let’s talk about discipline. I know, it’s not a fun topic. None of us likes having to admit we did something wrong. And being corrected is usually very uncomfortable. Hebrews 12:11 says this about the subject…

I remember knowing that my dad was going to discipline me as a child. We’d be away from home, and I’d done something wrong, and he let me know that once we got back home I’d be punished. That was the worst part – the waiting time before getting disciplined. But there was nothing like being on the OTHER side of the punishment – once everything was good again between my dad and I.

So how can we remain in that place where everything is good between ourselves and our Heavenly Father? Psalm 32 shows us the key to remaining in the place of God’s love and grace. It has to do with having a transparent attitude with God regarding our sin, admitting and confessing it openly with Him, rather than trying to defend our actions through rationalization. God sees through all that anyway, so our best course is to just be real and honest with Him.

Some believe this psalm was meant to be sung on the day of atonement. As it says in Leviticus 16:30, “For on this day He will forgive you, to purify you, that you be cleansed from all your sins before God.” Among the Jews, this is the holiest day of the year – Yom Kippur – when God is closest to his people. It is a display of tender mercies and fresh showers of God’s goodness and grace towards his own. It reflects the Creator’s passionate desire to reconcile creation to himself, to show the humble and the obedient his favor, and make a plea to the proud and disobedient for repentance and acceptance.

Psalm32:1-5

Here the psalmist recognizes the need for remaining transparent before God. When he tried to hide it, it ate away at him and would have eventually devoured him. But once he finally came clean and acknowledged his sin, God pardoned him. To be reconciled to God is to be reborn, refreshed, renewed – restored to right-standing with God. Entrusting your soul to God’s care, acknowledging your need of him, and emerging JUSTIFIED: just-as-if-I’d never sinned. This is a place of blessing that awaits all who choose to remain transparent before their Creator.

Psalm32:6-7

This is the joy each of us have in Christ when we REMAIN HUMBLE before God. His Spirit is able to counsel, correct and instruct us. His word is made alive in us. And we are able to see his impact and blessing on our lives, and then rejoice in his faithfulness and love. For in this place, this place of ‘at-one-ment’ and right-standing, God’s Spirit says…

Psalm32:8-11

As we navigate these last days in which we find ourselves living, we need the joy and peace of knowing everything is good between us and God. These scriptures have shown us the following key points…

  1. To remain blameless before the Lord is to remain transparent before Him.
  2. To remain transparent before God means we must humble our hearts and avoid vanity – that is, being defensive.
  3. When we humble ourselves before the Lord, we fully acknowledge our sin and ask forgiveness.
  4. When we confess to Him our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us.
  5. Because of the completed work of Christ, once He has forgiven us we are AT-ONE-MENT with the Lord, righteous before God and at Peace with our Maker.

No matter what happens in the presidential election, the state of our nation or the world, peace is always ours when Jesus Christ is King of our lives.

Truth Without Compromise

The Kingdom Light – Episode 1096

-Begin Transcript –

Folks, I’m gonna keep on saying it because it’s true: We have never been any closer to the end than we are now. That’s not an empty platitude, either. We’re so close to Jesus coming back now, I can feel it. There’s something very perceptible, we can sense things are about to happen quickly. At the beginning of 2024, I called this the year of revelation, sensing a lot of things would be revealed. Now the book of Revelation seems to be unfolding in front of us, and we need to be prepared for what’s ahead.

What I want to talk about today is the plethora of distractions out there which are meant to hide the truth. Unfortunately, a lot of the current deception is happening within the church itself, as it has become infested with false teaching and idolatry. It’s not just a problem of watered-down Christianity, it’s blatantly fake Christianity. The message of the gospel has been convoluted with worldly precepts, excusing sinful behavior rather than teaching the need for forgiveness.

False teachers ignore the simplicity of the gospel. They allow societal hot topics to complicate things. I’ll explain what I mean. Here’s how simple and uncomplicated the gospel message is: sin is the unholy stuff we do that separates us from God, and Jesus is the only way back to God. Put another way, sin is the disease and Christ is the cure. Or how I like to put it, sin is the cancer while Jesus is the answer. Simple. We need Jesus. He’s our path of forgiveness and redemption, and nothing else can do that. Only Him.

The problem people run into is not wanting to admit something is sin. The societal hot topics I mentioned a minute ago are those controversial issues like homosexuality, abortion, etc. You know, the stuff that many in the church today want to make allowance for. But the fact is, it is society that dictates what is or isn’t a hot topic. What the church has done – in order to not offend certain people – is compromised the principles of Christianity.

Forget for a moment that homosexuality is a hot topic. That’s not the issue. The Bible clearly lists it among a list of unnatural and abhorrent behaviors to be avoided. Beastiality is listed right along with it, and most people agree that’s disgusting and wrong. But it’s also listed along with fornication and adultery. Why doesn’t society make those hot topics? Well why would they? These are largely ignored already by the church. Let’s take a closer look at this.

Fornication is sex before marriage. Now I’m not going to ask anybody to raise their hands, but I know for certain that a lot of us have been guilty of this one. I openly acknowledge that I committed this particular sin several times in the past. I knew it was wrong, but I did it anyway. Why? I let my flesh and hormonal impulses override my sense of right and wrong. And let’s be honest here, I figured I’d ask for God’s forgiveness afterwards.

That attitude toward sin is dangerous, and it’s exactly why we tend to ignore certain sins in the church. It’s why some Christians may rail against homosexuality, all the while ignoring their own sexual sin. Jesus said a man who looks lustfully at a woman has already committed sin in his heart. It’s all sin. One is not worse than the other. It’s all equally perverse. And sinful actions have undesirable consequences.

Adultery is sex with someone other than your spouse. Again, do we usually place this sin on equal footing as other sins? We like to think there are different levels and severity of sin, but in reality, any and all sin is capable of destroying your life if you let yourself be ruled by it. We need to stop allowing sin of any kind to gain a foothold in our lives. We have access to God-given power over sin if we’d just use it.

We all have a sinful nature – a tendency or predisposition to sin. But we are called to hold ourselves to a higher standard out of love and respect for the One who redeemed us. It is His faithfulness to us that ought to make us desire to stay faithful to Him. Having a tendency to engage in sin doesn’t mean that we have to entertain that urge to sin. We can rebuke it and rise above it through Christ, regardless of what that sin is. This is what we should be teaching people.

Sadly, there are a lot of churches today that compromise the gospel message to accommodate societal norms. It is the church itself that should be helping to shape and guide our society, rather than the other way around. Yet we still let what society thinks influence our theology. So we end up with a wishy-washy message that favors people’s feelings over the actual truth of God’s word. This nullifies any meaningful influence of the church and gives people zero guidance for dealing with life’s trials.

Don’t shy away from the truth! Never let social acceptance override biblical virtue. We can’t make excuses for sin just because it’s uncomfortable to speak truth to it. And we can’t get sucked into the lie that preaching against sin is somehow hateful. Truth, even when uncomfortable, must be spoken out of love for people and concern for their eternal destiny. And it’s not being judgmental to point out destructive behavior, which is what sin is. It’s actually the caring thing, the loving thing, and the right thing to do.

So let’s keep obliterating the lies that lead people astray, and let’s boldly and lovingly give people the truth without compromise!

Indefensible

The Kingdom Light – Episode 1095

-Begin Transcript –

On today’s program, I’m gonna revisit a controversial topic – one that is painful for me to talk about because of how deeply it hurts my heart, and I know it breaks the heart of God. I’ve discussed this issue at length in the past, and on more than one occasion. But it’s still a present issue that cannot be ignored. I ask your forgiveness in advance for the graphic nature of this particular episode, but I believe we have to expose the fullness of evil that exists within this difficult subject matter. It has been sugar-coated, glossed over, and completely misrepresented for far too long.

Let’s begin in ancient times when several tribes of people used to worship many false gods. Among those deified as gods was the arch-demon, Molech/Moloch. In addition to sexual rituals, Moloch worship included child sacrifice which involved tossing babies into bonfires. As reprehensible as it sounds, a young couple who sacrificed their first-born child in such a way believed that Molech would then grant them good fortune in life.

At some point, large statues were built of this demon. He was depicted as having the body of a man and the head of a bull. In the sacrifice ritual, fires were lit beneath the upward-facing hands of Moloch. These metal hands would get extremely hot, and then babies offered up would be placed into those glowing hot hands by a Molechian priest. As you can imagine, the sacrificed children would scream in pain and gladly opt to roll off the hand into the fire below. Again, I apologize for the horrific pictures this paints in our minds, but we need to understand just how evil this practice truly was…and still is.

What?! This kind of thing can’t possibly still be going on, can it?! The ritual has changed somewhat over the years, but it indeed continues to this day. Now, however, the ones who offer up their children for sacrifice have no idea what’s actually happening. Oh, they willingly give over their unborn babies, but the priests have been swapped out for physicians who mutilate and extract the unwanted children. Some parts are collected for supposed medical use, and the rest is then incinerated. They call this abortion.

It’s touted as healthcare, but no one seems to care about the health of the aborted babies. It’s deemed a reproductive right, but there’s nothing at all reproductive about killing the unborn. They call it a medical procedure, but it’s really the barbaric butcher and murder of an innocent and defenseless human being. And this evil act takes place most often purely out of convenience for someone who failed to choose responsibly when having unprotected willful sex.

As I mentioned in my very first blog post, The Truth About Abortion, the three most identified examples of “hard cases” in which aborting the fetus might even possibly be “justified” are in the cases of rape, incest (familial rape), and when the pregnancy threatens the life of the mother. In reality, however, reported cases of rape or incest being the reason for having an abortion are around 0.33%. And cases where abortion is utilized to protect the life of the mother is about 0.1%. So that means that all these hard cases combined amount to less than HALF of one percent, leaving more than 99% of abortions as simply a matter of convenience.

Whether in ancient times or modern times, sacrificing an innocent child’s life on the altar of convenience is completely indefensible. It’s not a matter of “my body, my choice” because that choice of what to do with your own body was made when you carelessly had sex of your own free will. The growing fetus within you is NOT your body. That’s your baby’s body. And we are obligated to nourish and nurture and care for that child. Life is ordained by God, and we are to be held responsible for our actions because they have consequences.

Most people, when confronted with the reality of what abortion is, will agree that it is morally wrong. And I have to warn you that I’m about to show you one example of what an aborted baby really looks like. It is not for the faint of heart, but I believe that we MUST KNOW THE TRUTH. If you have been on the fence regarding this issue, or if you have found yourself vehemently opposed to what I’ve been telling you today, this is going to be your wake-up call. If you have defended abortion as perfectly okay, then you need to look closely here at just what it is that you’re defending…

Disgusting, isn’t it? This is the ugly and evil truth of abortion. And it doesn’t matter if it’s done at 8 weeks, 20 weeks, or whenever. It’s still ending the life of an innocent. If this image does not turn your stomach and break your heart, then God help you. All the stories you’ve been told about abortion being an important part of women’s healthcare, it’s not really a life yet, it’s just a clump of cells, and on and on – that’s all a bunch of lies from the pit of hell. And THIS photo should convince you of that.

Folks, I’m not trying to shock you, though it IS shocking that we’ve allowed this travesty to continue for so long. I’m trying to open your eyes to the truth. Sometimes, the truth is ugly. Sometimes, it’s horrific and hard to look at. But if we just keep on ignoring it like we’ve been doing, this senseless slaughter will just keep on going. And all the demons will continue to rejoice at our demise and at the debasement of our seared consciences.

We’ve been desensitized to so much cruelty. Through movies and television, we have become unmoved by the blood and gore around us. Hell loves it. The indefensible attack on the unborn is an open defiance of the very image of God. Jesus said that the innocence and purity of children is like unto the Kingdom of Heaven. And as for those who harm those little ones in any way, the Bible says it would be better for such people to have a millstone tied around their necks and be tossed into the sea.

Make no mistake, a day of reckoning is coming – SOON. When that day comes, I want to be found doing the Father’s will – which includes helping protect the lives of those who cannot protect themselves. No matter what fiery darts or flaming arrows the world wants to throw at me for doing so, I will never cease to advocate for the sanctity of human life. Ever.

Exercising Dominion

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.

Restoring the Republic

The Kingdom Light – Episode 1093

-Begin Transcript –

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!

Waking Up, Breaking Out

The Kingdom Light – Episode 1092

-Begin Transcript –

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.

From Turmoil to Peace

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

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

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.

Free Fall

The Kingdom Light – Episode 1090

-Begin Transcript –

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.

Misrepresented

The Kingdom Light – Episode 1089

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.
