Pastor Rafael Cruz finding hope in the attitudes and actions of Patriots

These are domestic terrorists. The six was all deception.

The level of sophistication, haptic. People were putting on Trump stuff beforehand or taking it off afterward. It was members of our own government. Working has been an FBI informant for a number of years. In January 6th, I said, are you working? You said yes.

This is trace. They want to criminalize dissent. I opened the shutters, they had the battering rams. I hear, poof, then they told me to come out, a whole bunch of red dots over my chest.

They're hunting down Trump supporters like dogs. I just walked into a crowd of people. We can't scream and we can't fight.

Now I want you to fight with me. I spent the next three weeks in jail. They put me in a cell by my cell, total solitary confinement in a cell not much bigger than a walk-in closet. FBI, guns drawn. Hands up, hands up, put your hands on the wall. Hands on the wall. This is psychological warfare. It didn't have a battering ram in it, but what it did have was a turd on top.

He was pointing his gun at all. My neighbor was ready to pull up any time he needed to. They handcuffed me. They handcuffed you? Yes. They got it. Oh!

147 days since my wife was murdered. So I got to be her voice, though. There's an old Chinese saying my ancestors learned before the Communist Party took over our country. The family is the essential unit of human society and that you must have honor and defend your family. But it's not always easy to do.

When the regime gives the order, you have to kill. My heart was pounding. I felt my body bouncing and twisting on the floor. They put numbers on our shoulders, then separated us into rows of even and odd numbers.

I was number nine. My brother, he is still in prison, and my sister, she was sent to a labor camp without a trial. But there's one piece of evidence they haven't been able to destroy yet.

I loved everything behind it. If I can't expose what they did to us, then all of our suffering would be nothing. Welcome to Chosen Generation with your host, Pastor Greg Young. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, that you should chew forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light, which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God, which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. And now, chosen generation, where no topic is off limits and everything is filtered through biblical classes. And now, here's your host, Pastor Greg.

And welcome back to Chosen Generation Radio, where no topic is off limits and everything filtered through biblical classes. And folks, it is my sincere pleasure to welcome my next guest to the program. He's with me here on a monthly basis. And he joins us from an undisclosed location.

He's traveling once again and speaking. And I'm so thrilled to welcome Pastor Rafael Cruz. Pastor Rafael, welcome.

Good to have you. Pastor Greg, it is so great to be with you. Thank you so much for being here. I really appreciate all of your prayers and your support. I appreciate what you shared the last time that you were with me. And it just really means so very much. And your support makes so much of a difference. So I just want you to know how much I appreciate it.

Thank you, sir. Well, we're in a critical, critical, critical time right now. Let me ask you this. And drawing on your background and your experience having come from a country and a situation where there was a takeover of communists, we're watching, I believe, right now, that kind of a battle of a wrestling within our own country. There are, I don't think you can label them any other way, there are communist influences that are trying to take over the United States of America. And I believe this election is pivotal. Your thoughts on that? Well, let me just start with communism.

As a matter of fact, I'll be more blunt than you are. We have a Marxist regime in the White House. If you look at the Communist Manifesto, the top priority of Karl Marx was the destruction of the concept of God, because government must become your God under a communist regime. We have seen an unrelenting attack on the church. I mean, it is just unprecedented, the attack on Christianity today. Because under a communist regime, your government must become your God. So in order for that to happen, they must destroy the concept of God. And there is a systematic attack against Christianity today.

And secondly, the second thing that communism must do is destroy the family, because again, allegiance must not be to the family, but to almighty God. And so we have seen the attack on the family in unprecedented ways, including the attack on our children. Who would have thought even five years ago that we would have what they call gender dysphoria? And asking children, well, maybe you're not really a boy. Or maybe you're a girl, or maybe you're not really a girl.

You're a boy. And creating a confusion amongst these children. But it goes beyond that. Then they want to become God and say, well, God made a mistake.

So let's fix it. And go through this mutilation of children to do what they call gender transition. And I'll tell you what. We have seen an incredible increase in suicides among teens, which went through one of these surgeries. And all of a sudden, they realize, you took a double mastectomy on a girl. It's still a girl.

And after a while, she's going to say, what have I done? And you cannot undo it. And it is incredible, the suicide, the depression, the challenges that these adults created. You know, I think that's part of what has really woke up so many, especially coming out of this pandemic, is the realization of what it is that they're doing to our kids, the pornography, the focus on sex changing. And I mean, it's hard to imagine a situation where you would put these kinds of thought processes and ideas and subject matter into the minds of five, six, seven, and eight-year-olds. The national sex education standard is that you're supposed to teach masturbation to eight-year-olds. How would we even let that get into our school system?

It's beyond me. Well, you know, Pastor Greg, one of the good things of the COVID pandemic, there is one good thing. And that was to shut down, open the eyes of parents. All of a sudden, parents had a glimpse at all the indoctrination that was going on in our public schools. And as a result of that, parents, when schools opened up again, parents were irate and began storming school boards and demanding, I don't want my children to be poisoned with all this garbage. And again, we saw the mirror of a communist regime when those same school boards would call the police and those parents were arrested as domestic terrorists. That is something that is right out of Karl Marx. And they are calling the parents domestic terrorists.

Well, I'll tell you what. You know, Pastor Greg, it was, I think, about a month ago that President Biden was addressing a group of teachers. And he told these teachers verbatim, when those children are in the classroom, they don't belong to their parents, they belong to you. Two weeks ago, someone from the Department of Health and Human Resources was speaking to school board administrators. And they were saying, you need to instruct teachers to help children in gender transition.

And that could include hormone blockers without telling the parents. That is an abomination, Pastor Greg. That's an abomination we have in California. Governor Newsom telling children, if you want to go through gender transition and your parents are opposed, find a way to get to California.

We will do it for you. And we will oppose your parents if they come get you. In other words, they will deny their parental rights. And he said, and I don't even know what this means, he said, we will find queer-friendly families, whatever that means, to adopt you. That is absolutely insane.

It is insane. Yeah, basically what he's saying is the state of California has passed a law that allows them to kidnap your child and change their sex. And they're saying there's not anything that you can do about it.

Now, I believe that's going to get challenged in a court of law. But in the meantime, if it's your child and they have your kid, they can pump your kid full of drugs to change the physiological. They can't make a boy a girl. And they can't make a girl a boy, period.

You cannot do it. What they are saying, basically, is God made a mistake. Jeremiah chapter 1, verse 5 says, before you were conceived in your mother's womb, God said, I knew you. Even before you were conceived, you were in the mind of God. We are a divine creation of God. We are unique. Every person is unique as a child of God. This is an affront against Almighty God.

But actually, it gets worse than that. These politicians don't care whether what they do is legal or illegal or constitutional or unconstitutional because they refuse to obey the law. Even in so-called conservative Texas, there are already district attorneys across the state that would refuse to prosecute someone that performs an abortion. So in other words, abortion being illegal, they don't care.

They're not going to prosecute. That means the abortion clinics, they are telling them you have a green light to continue your butchery, and we will not prosecute you. We have in the city of Austin, in the city of San Antonio, in the city of Dallas, and in the city of Houston, all four cities, their city councils are considering making those cities abortion havens to where they will permit all abortions. Again, the federal government said not too long ago that they were thinking about allowing the Veterans Administration to perform abortion on all veterans and their families. And our speaker of the House said that he thought it would be a good idea to open abortion clinics in federal lands where the states have no jurisdiction. So they are looking for ways to continue the murdering of children without regard for the law and without regard for human dignity. And it's an off-front to God. Well, and I've made this point, and I'll make it, and I'll continue to make it, and I hope that somebody will pick up on this. And that is, you know, they talk about this as the woman's right to choose, and they specifically like to use rape and incest as their justification to suggest that this is somehow, that the quashing of abortion is somehow an affront, and you're victimizing these girls, except that they pass laws, such as we've just discussed, where between the ages of 9 and 14, these young girls are impregnated and then taken without parental permission to planned parenthoods, to abortion clinics, to get abortions by guidance counselors at the school and brought back, and it's all done secretly.

Now, you tell me, if someone who is incestual, someone who is a rapist, someone who victimizes young girls, does not not sound like the perfect setup that they can take these girls, and take them to a clinic, and have this done, and use the guidance counselor to do it, and bring them back, and no one will know about it, and you're going to tell me that they're about protecting these girls? That is a lie. We'll be back. I'm Tim Sheff, a certified natural health practitioner.

And welcome back to chosen generation radio where no topic is off limits and everything filtered through biblical glasses and my very special guest Raphael Cruz. And we're talking about, of course, the importance and the significance of the election that we're in, the tyrannical behavior of the current leadership that exists. And I don't even know that I want to call them leaders.

They're just, they're tyrants. And our Declaration of Independence makes very clear what it is that this government has been formed to give us. We, the people, retain all the rights. We give power to the government for them to protect our rights. And when they stop protecting our rights, they are no longer legitimate.

They're no longer doing what they are required by oath to do. And subsequently, it is our responsibility and our right and our duty to replace them. And the means by which we replace them, the peaceful means by which we replace them, the first means is by our vote.

And that's why this is so important. Yeah, as a matter of fact, we don't, we take so many things for granted here in America, my brother. You know, most people in the world have never even had the right to vote once. The government of most countries is either dictatorships or monarchies. Where the people are serves of the government.

We are unique in that we, the people, are actually the rulers and like you were said, we have the right to hire them or fire them. But if we don't vote, we relinquish that privilege. And I'll tell you, it is imperative that we understand that we have a unique opportunity in the next week to make sure that those that are elected are going to represent our values, our Judeo-Christian values and restore America to the path that has made it the greatest country on the face of the earth.

I'll tell you, it is an awesome responsibility and it is an awesome privilege. And everyone in the sound of my voice needs not only go vote, but make sure that all your relatives, all your neighbors, all your friends go to vote and vote for men and women that uphold the Judeo-Christian principles upon which America has been found. Thank you, sir, I did too, I voted yesterday. I voted yesterday. Yeah, my wife and I went, of course, here in Texas, you can early vote. And I know a lot of people say, oh my gosh, be careful about early voting. But in Texas, you're required to show identification.

That's right. You know, they check you in and they identify that you have done it. Now, we're using a different system than we have used in the past, by the way. We actually now in our county, you're actually handed a ballot and you put your ballot in and you put in the information and then it prints that out onto a physical ballot and then that physical ballot is scanned in and that's how we vote now in our county. That is exactly the same way that I vote in Denton County. And the nice thing about paper ballots, if there is any question about potential voter fraud, you can go back to the paper ballots and do an actual count of the votes.

Yes. So there is a way to double check if the vote is correct or not. How do we need to go to paper ballots across the country and get rid of all these machines? It's really quite amazing. You know, and previously all we had was just a punch screen. And so this is really quite amazing now that we've, you know, here in Bandera County, that we've made this adjustment, but I agree with you. I think that it's really significant. I'm gonna switch gears for a minute and I wanna spend the rest of our time together talking about the significant importance of, and you started to mention it, the kinds of individuals that we are voting for, why it's so important that people of faith are voting for and kind of doing a check, a character check, a principles check on candidates.

Why is that so important? Well, if we go back to scripture, that is our authority. In Exodus chapter 18, Moses has just crossed to the Red Sea and Moses is now trying to manage about two million people.

The Bible says 600,000 men plus women and children, so at least two million people. And Moses is going bananas. So here comes his father-in-law, Jethro, and he says, Moses, what you're doing is not good. And in Exodus 18, 21, God speaks to Moses through Jethro and he says, you select from among the people. Now it's the same as elect. And then he gives four qualifications, able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness.

Those are the four qualifications to vet any candidate for elective office. Let's take it one at a time. Hold that thought, we're gonna take a quick break. When we come back, we're gonna go through each one of these and we're gonna have some time to be able to spend on each one and understand what that means.

We'll be back with more Children Generation Radio coming up right after this. Hi, I'm Tim Sheph, a certified natural health practitioner of over 40 years.

Now, back to Chosen Generation with Pastor Greg. And welcome back to Chosen Generation Radio where no topic is off limits and everything is filtered through Biblical Glasses.

My very special guest, Raphael Cruz. And Raphael, we're talking about, you know, the qualifications for the individuals that we choose. And you mentioned the four and you were beginning to start to elaborate on the first one, able-bodied men.

Or yeah, talk about, what does that mean, able men? Well, you know, that means that you need to elect men and women that are capable of doing the job. You know, we are supposed to be a constitutional representative republic. Where we, the people, are actually the rulers. And we select people to represent us before the governmental body, but it is to represent we, the people. So we need to elect men and women that are capable to represent our interests and are capable to do it eloquently and to basically be able to defend our rights and our privileges. So able men, number two is so, so important, such as fear God.

Now, what does that mean? That means men and women that uphold the Judeo-Christian principles upon which America was built. It means men and women that rest on the authority of the word of God. You know, we need to realize that America is so great because America was founded on the word of God. The Mayflower Compact begins by stating the purpose of America for the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith. America was built on a very solid foundation of the word of God. So we need to elect men and women that are going to be rooted in the word of God and they're going to govern according to the principles of the word of God. So able men, such as fear God.

Number three, men of truth. I'll tell you, Pastor Greg, I'm sure you come across many, many politicians that will tell you one thing on the campaign trail only to get elected and do exactly the opposite. So you can't believe sometimes what they say because they're going to say what they think you want to hear. But Jesus gave us the answer to that. Jesus said, you shall know them by their fruit. That means we need to do some fruit checking. You know, with the internet today, we can look at the record of any individual. The person tells you, I am pro-life for their voting proportion 19 times. Don't believe them. Amen. We need to look at their record. Jesus shall know them by their fruit.

We need to do some fruit checking. And number four, able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness. Now covetousness is greed. But I'll tell you something very interesting about politics. Those politicians, their greed is not primarily about money. It is about power and control. Politicians covet power and they covet the control that power gives them over with the people. Lord Acton once said, power corrupts.

An absolute power corrupts absolutely. So many politicians just get power drunken and they are not more concerned about the needs of with the people. And I think part of the discussion in here too, because I know that a lot of people talk about term limits, which I don't argue about that, but here's the issue. The problem is, is that, and I know you're very familiar with this because you've watched this. The name on the door changes, but the staff inside that is actually the ones that are feeding the information and essentially influencing the representative that whose new name goes on the door, those individuals, that doesn't change. And that's the problem. Yeah, and the reason that happens is, if you have a newcomer that is fresh to politics, and he gets to say to this, the House of Representatives, and he asked maybe a campaign manager, but then there are so many intricacies to be in insane Washington DC.

You need to know that the landscape, you need to know how to operate and how to get things done. They find it expedient to keep some of the same stuff just to avoid a learning process for all their employees. So they keep part of the stuff. They may try to, as they move along, change the key people. But you know, we are supposed to be citizen legislators. Really what the framers are in mind was just something that you do serve and then go back and go back to your old job. And that has changed because the way that things operate in government, you need to acquire some seniority because before you can have leadership abilities to be able to get things done. And that has worked against people who just wanted to run one time. Right. And so, and that's probably one of the reasons that to be able to get things really done, you need certain seniority.

Well, and people get assigned, what happens? I mean, I saw this with the representative who went down from here to Austin. You know, I mean, right out of the barrel. And we warned him. We said, don't get yourself locked in with the rhinos that are running things in Austin.

Don't submit yourself to that. But immediately it was, you know, that the rhino had a housewarming party. And, you know, and it was, I mean, they were immediately folded in to the, to that, you know, tyrannical element that was already there in Austin. And then they just fell lockstep with whatever they were told. I mean, I went down there to go see him and they literally had a lobbyist that was camped out on the sofa in the office. I mean, seriously, come on.

Now, let me just say this for those who are listening to us, because I don't want you to get discouraged. Right. Politicians, people that get elected don't have to do that.

No. My son is a very good example of it. When my son first got elected, he told K Street, where all the lobbies are, do not come see me, my doors are close to you. And he refused to talk to any lobbies because once they get their hooks on you, they're going to try to manipulate how you vote.

Yep. And so it is, it is a struggle, but if what we need is men of women of principle, men of women of integrity. I don't think there's a verse of scripture that describes integrity better that Psalms 15 verse four.

He who even to his own harm, he does not change. You do the right thing, even if it costs you. And that is the integrity that we must demand of the people that are going to represent us in the state legislature or in the federal government. We must demand that they walk in integrity. And last, like the Declaration of Independence said, the whole purpose of government is to protect those unalienable rights. And then the next sentence says, when they cease to work towards those ends, it is our right. And I believe it is our duty to remove that government and replace it with another government.

The only way we can do that is through our vote. So able men, such as fear God, men of truth hating covetousness. And so we look for men and women, that means we need to do our homework. Yes.

We need to look at their character and we need to look at their record. Well, and I would- Actually, you go ahead. Well, no, and I was gonna say, and I would suggest that we can use, you know, the biblical concepts for that.

I mean, we're told in Timothy, right? What are the kinds of people that we wanna have in those kinds of positions? We want individuals who can manage their own households. You know, people, right? People who are, you know, who have fidelity as a virtue. I mean, those are important issues for us to consider. And I think that is encompassed in that second one, those who fear God.

Yeah. That means, that doesn't mean you are afraid of God. That means you walk in accordance with the principles of the word of God. That's what made America great, is that America is a Christian country. It is that it was the foundation of both the Declaration and the Constitution was the word of God. Most people do not even know that each and every one of the grievances in the Declaration of Independence were preached in the churches of America for 10 years prior to Jefferson writing them in the Declaration. The church was intimately involved in the Declaration and in the Constitution. Most of those framers were committed Christian people, men of God that were on their knees. And by the way, this is actually hilarious because most people think that Benjamin Franklin was a deist. He was Benjamin Franklin that encouraged their being on their knees praying, seeking for wisdom from God. Amen. That changed the Constitutional Convention. Amen.

They were on their knees every day seeking revelation from God and revelation is what they got. Amen, amen. All right, we're gonna take a quick break and we come back. We will finish talking about this because the next step too is to understand the role that the church is supposed to be playing in all of this and separation of church and state, ladies and gentlemen, is not an American value. It doesn't exist in our Constitution.

I am Patriot Mobile. And welcome back to Chosen Generation Radio, where no topic is off limits and everything filtered through biblical glasses and my very special friend, Rafael Cruz, and so important to understand Rafael the role because churches have been rebuffed when it comes to engagement and involvement in choosing political leadership. And I had to almost laugh in a way, but it was really sad. There was a pastor that came out and he was chastising Herschel Walker and basically supporting Rafael Warnick, who is in favor of killing babies and the sodomite agenda. And both of which are abominations to God. Herschel Walker has come out in opposition to that and this pastor's going on about how Herschel is bad and this other guy is good. And then in the comments was, well, they're chastising this pastor for saying anything, but the white evangelical church has been political for years.

Wow. You know, it is, and I understand that, you know, they have been trying to castigate Herschel Walker for what he did in his youth and whether he had illegitimate children or not. You know something, all of us, or most of us, certainly in my case, before I came to Christ, I did things that I should not have done. You know, the Bible says all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. And the great, wonderful thing about Jesus Christ is retention. So when someone comes to Christ, all those past sins are forgiven. But I'll tell you the difference is, Herschel Walker today is walking with the Lord and he's walking in accordance with the word of God. Warnock is walking contrary to the word of God, he's serving the devil, whether he calls himself a pastor or not, he is a pastor that embraced that same pastor that Barack Obama embraced that was blaming America for everything in America and hating America.

So I'll tell you, we need to look at their walk and we need to look at people after their redemption because before their redemption, we were children of the devil. So we need to look of where they're walking today, but I'll tell you, in reality, this concept of separation of church and state is such a misnomer. And it comes from a letter that the Danbury Baptist sent to President Thomas Jefferson, our third president. And I must explain this thing about the Danbury Baptist.

What do I mean by that? Well, something that most Americans don't know. When the first 13 colonies were created, basically each colony only had one denomination. Rhode Island was Baptist, Maryland was Catholic, Massachusetts was Congregationalist, Pennsylvania was Quaker, Virginia was mostly Lutheran and a little bit of Anglican.

Why? Because it was pastors and the men and women from their congregation that created the colonies. And then they said, well, how do we do this government business? If you look at the constitutions of all 13 colonies, in all 13 of them, you had to be a believer in Jesus Christ to run for public office.

It was a requirement. So anyway, all 13 colonies were concerned as to whether this new government was going to impose on them a state denomination like their forefathers had to flee from 200 years ago when King Henry VIII decided to create the Church of England, the Anglican Church. If you were not a member of the Anglican Church, you were persecuted and called the heretic and that's why the pilgrims came to America. So they were concerned, is this government going to impose a state denomination on it? So Jefferson writes a letter back and says, believing with you that religion is a matter that lays solely between man and his God, that no one has the right to interfere in their faith or their worship, solely between you and God. And then he says that their legislation should make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. In other words, it is only between you and God and the government has no right to interfere. They have no right to impose a state religion upon with the people. They have no right to impose any restrictions on our free exercise of our beliefs. And so he says, does building a wall of separation between church and state? That's where that statement comes from. But if you look at those three statements in context, it is absolutely obvious that it is a one-way wall to prevent government from interfering with our free exercise of religion, a one-way wall to prevent government from imposing a state religion upon with the people.

In no way, shape, or form can you infer that Jefferson was saying that the church should not be involved in every area of society, including politics. As a matter of fact, Jesus said exactly the opposite. Jesus said, you are the light of the world. Well, light is worthless unless you point it to darkness.

That's out there in the marketplace. We need to stop just playing church inside the four walls. We need to take the church outside of the building and impact our community and be salt and light to everyone in the community.

And let me tag team on that if you don't mind, Rafael, and suggest this as well. Number one, God is the one who said, out of you I will form nations, speaking to Abraham. God is the one who said that we as believers would be kings and priests and that out of us there would be nations that would be formed. The United States of America was a nation that was formed, predicated on God and a biblical foundation. And our founders, and you mentioned it, in all 13 colonies, they required that someone would profess a faith in the God of the Bible and in Jesus Christ his son in order to hold public office. They understood that there were different denominational belief systems. The Baptists emphasized the baptism. You had the Presbyterians and they had their means by which they did, the Congregationalists and so on, the Quakers. They all had some of their internal interpretations of how they were going to walk out their faith and they didn't want the government saying, you've gotta be a part of this and renounce those in order to do this. But the one underlying thing that they all understood was is there was one God, he was the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, there was one Bible and it had 10 commandments and it had rules for how a society would be successful and how it should go forward. And there was one savior and his name was Jesus Christ and a person needed to be transformed in order to be placed in a leadership position because you couldn't trust anybody that didn't have a reverence and a fear that God was watching them and would judge them for the decisions that they made when no one was looking. Amen, my brother. Well, we are about to wrap up. I want to say vote and vote righteously.

Vote for righteous men and women that will uphold the principles that have made America the greatest country on the face of the earth and those are our biblical principles. Amen. And at the end of the day, folks, take a listen to this. Rafael, thanks so much for being here.

I'll be back with you tomorrow, Friday, final day of the week. We got a lot to share. At the end of the day, when I stand before my God, I do not want him to ask me what did you do with the world that I sent my son to die for and redeem? How did you fight the good fight to share the good news and keep evil in check?

There we go. How did you shine your light and be a beacon of truth in the darkness? Did you shrink back in fear when they demand did you change my message? Did you call evil good and good evil? Did you forsake my love for that of another?

Lying with the adulterer and setting up a new idol in your life. Have you defiled yourself through compromise and tolerance of that which I call an abomination? Have you innocent blood on your hands for the children murdered on your watch and the young ones perverted in their way by evil men seeking their own comfort and reviling me?

No. At the end of the day, I want him to simply say the evidence is in. Well done, thou good and faithful servant. I love my God and I love his creation and I will go to my grave telling the world that evil is evil and only God is good and Jesus came to save the world. That no matter the evil in the world, I will never give up and in spite of the hate, I will love in truth.

God bless you all and may love remove the veil so you all might enter into his rest. Hi, I'm Tim Shep, a certified natural health practitioner of over 40 years.
