Go for it. 86634 a few things first before I get into some of your questions, email questions and calls 38 years ago today Nancy gave birth to her younger daughter Megan so happy happy birthday major and amazing wonderful daughter, wife, mother, thrilled to have you and your family, husband and kids as part of our family so happy birthday if not listening while someone knows may tell her we just said happy birthday to her on the air. Also some major news that involves Israel Pres. Obama President-elect Trump America, Israel, Egypt, the UN yesterday was supposed to be a vote going before the Security Council on a resolution that was a pro-Palestinian anti-resolution banning Israel from building settlements in the so-called Palestinian territories, which would include East Jerusalem calling them illegal, which means basically that all you have over 1,000,000 1/2 Arabs living in Israel. As part of the Israeli society they can vote.

They serve in the Supreme Court, they can be professors at universities, CEOs of companies. Whatever right million and 1/2 Palestinian Arabs living there as part of Israel that the Palestinians don't want any Jews in their midst and generally speaking, the settlements are considered to be one of the chief obstacles to peace so this resolution was going forward rather than America, stopping it as the reports go America work with the past and is according to accusations from Israel.

The present Obama actually work with the Palestinians as kind of a final zinger against Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu, with whom he had a stormy relationship.

Well as sources seem to indicate it seems pretty well understood that present electronic got involved reached out to Egypt's prime minister of Cici asked him not to back this and according to the reports.

He said okay fine back down from this because once to even potentially work with Israel against the Muslim brotherhood and against ISIS and radical Islamic and premise to assist the general CC has boldly because it is a devout Muslim self for reform within Islam. So in any case, that the vote did not go forward yesterday, but supposed to go forward now. Perhaps within an hour, and this is now being put forward.

Egypt withdrew it as reports going to pressure from Israel and US President-elect Trump but now the New Zealand relation with Venezuela and Senegal were cosponsors have requested the boat take place somewhere in the next hour and only right thing for America to do is to veto this. They have veto power. So pray that America will do the right thing. And what a contrast what contrast are ready, between the present Obama and President-elect Trump in terms of standing with Israel as much as you may have problems and issues with President-elect Trump his stances towards Israel thus far have been very positive and very encouraging right phone lines are open eight 663-3784. Any questions you want to ask me right now thousand and here again is Dr. Michael Brown thanks for joining us on the line of fire me. I wish you a blessed Christmas and Hanukkah season over the weekend and beyond. 866-34-TRUTH 784 you've got questions, we've got answers before I go to the followings. We grab this email meant to get to it yesterday on through the juice Thursday but failed to here is an email I'm a Jewish believer coming to know Jesus is my Messiah 35 years ago along with my husband year after that.

So the wife is right. Sadly, he has for the past 20 years denied Jesus as the promised Messiah and spends his time watching and reading everything he can to refute any Christian claims as to the truth of who Jesus is observing God together for 15 years, to the lonely walk of the last 20 years to the spiritual battle that is ongoing in our lives are beginning to lose heart. Just become so weary. Try to keep my own faith as it is costly being torn down has one deal with an antichrist spirit on a daily basis. There are so many changes in my husband.

Over the 20 years that he has walked away from Jesus.

I so desperately want my beloved husband back in the fellowship that we once shared in Yeshua, my dear sister this is a such a weighty situation and I don't pretend to understand what it feels like to be in your shoes is an absolutely not in your shoes what agony of heart. You must experience what loneliness must experience first and foremost, I encourage you to take refuge in God to take refuge in God.

If you will look to him in your desperation and cry out to him in your desperation when you come to the end of yourself you will find grace. I know that because I know it in my own life in different circumstances and I know it in the lives of people who have been through the most heart wrenching agonizing losses imaginable and they found God's grace, there is number one. If you take refuge in the Lord cry out to him leaning on him look to him.

I know you've done it, but put all your trust in him. None your husband on your local assembly none, and any other person.

He will meet you, he will give you grace and the fellowship you enjoyed with him will be so precious. It will make up for the other losses in a way that only God can and in that place of intimacy.

That's we also pour out your heart for your husband. Whatever the root causes that his cause this to rise in his heart be a disappointment, be it bitterness, but rebellion. Whatever it is. Pray that God would bring him to the end of himself and to a place of humility and conviction, and pray God, whatever it takes and then if you haven't used my materials take advantage of them.

We've written five volumes on answering Jewish objections to Jesus that will demolish the type of stuff. Your husband is coming up with have debates on YouTube and other places.

If you go to my Jewish outreach website, real Messiah.com you will find concise answers in writing and on video to most of the principal objections. That's real Messiah.com so you can be help their maybe maybe your husbands open to the truth and expose them to some of these things and maybe it'll make him realize. Hey, I'm in error.

I'm barking up the wrong tree. But above all, when your week that you find strength in the war, his grace will be sufficient friends.

Let's pray for this dear woman that God would meet her chromatically and that her husband become to repentance, 866-337-8840 we go to Rick in Erie, Pennsylvania. Welcome to the line of fire Brown thanks for all you do and I have a situation happening this week ending your bike the Christian American. I'm an artist, professional artist, the whole foods co-op store according to this by my painting Vermont and abroad, and landscape portraiture in the left-leaning are brought in with the conductivity thing piece of art hung the painting before I even got home, the whole foods emailed me and said that my painting of the Nativity is an offense and had to be taken down because of the Christian Christmas painting in capitals and quotation Christian Christmas painting could not be. It was, you know, whatever. So I'm like power. We handle where they're constantly trying to shove that agenda down our throats at basically to keep us from being who we are. Yes, in rickets, it's no surprise that would be the mentality of whole foods. I shop there will probably once every few weeks because of the. The largely organic diet that my wife and I are on and so on, and it it really is very much an ideological store but it's not just organic foods, but you've got Eastern religion stuff. Even the folks at the checkout counters are quite quite a bit more avant-garde than your average check out folks at grocery stores and, in fact, earlier this year a guy claimed a gay guy that someone at Whole Foods had mocked his gay wedding on the cake and I immediately thought thought was that whole foods. Of course the guy fabricated the whole thing. People like you pick a rock star for this so yeah that their ideology I would sign out your cards no matter if any different than the photographer and the breaker out where that was spying pregnant prison sentence $10,000 because they wouldn't bake the cake and what pictures and now in its reverse and shoes on the other, but they won't take my artwork.

Of course, of course, it's complete hypocrisy.

It's one thing if they said hey the bacon is one of make gay wedding cake. That's his business photographer. This one should same-sex wedding.

That's her business. Whole Foods this one display Nativity scene, that's their business.

At least be consistent know it's like that would be consistent. It's complete hypocrisy, sir.

So I would say I would suggest two things are right first, I would go through the store and see that they sell books that have anything that's a message that is a religious message.

Calico okay so what I do is I would document what grounds throw yourself on take pictures of of each item right and I and I would go back to them and say it appears that you are specifically discriminating against Christianity with the majority faith in America and instead seeking to advance or promote these other religions I would follow through in that way obvious.

He documents everything that's taken place there their emails to you, etc. and I based on what you're saying right now standing up for what's right is more important to you than selling a few pictures I would think correctly absolutely end up that's my dilemma here at the Christian Jesus said, my kingdom is not of this world if it was, my servants would fight I could talk about an angel doll that so might it be silent or am I to say hey if somebody doesn't start standing up for the rhetoric wended arrogant and wrong to be in slavery hung hundred percent. So here's just what you do, Rick. Okay, next step. Next step is document with a promote other religious beliefs are right.

Go back to whoever sent you the email and say I'm confused you banded Nativity scene, which is seen throughout America. This time, right right you know the Christmas theme and universal theme in recognized red America you band that but you have others, please explain.

And that once you've gone through dialogue right if they have if they have backed away or if they said no. Whatever answer they gave okay. Let's follow through the thin let's ring attention to it documented all all right and then write to us right through the website info asked Dr. Brown.org that's okay, here's what happened.

Asked to connect with my assistant, Dylan DY Elion and Hill Hill take things from there and let's follow through and then at the least of all tell the story to folks will let folks know and not to make Whole Foods look bad, but simply to say hey a little consistency here. That's all we asked her in their verbiage in their work and not thinking a crime for me. The third thing that were doing for them.

Yeah, I mean look at I my position is that's their call to make their independent retailer just like the bakery just like the photographer and people like if they like it if people don't like it they don't like. That's that's the old ribavirin right exactly but if you're going to say. The other thing is a hate crime of the other thing is punishable just like with Monica Trump. Fashion designs will recommend design for her and their being applauded for its label what utter hypocrisy, but here because because whole foods does have that religious side to it.

Yes I go through the store. Rick take pictures of the the various various items. Okay. And then just get right back to them and say hey with all respect you didn't want Christianity promoted to the Nativity scene but you got all these other things. So please promote Hinduism and Buddhism or New Age religion see how they respond and then email info*Brown.org as to connect with my sister Dylan and let's get the story told.

God bless you man. Thank you, Stan, the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution there again is Dr. Michael Brown, the line of fire. Now is the time to call if you get a biblical, theological, moral, cultural, practical, spiritual question for me 866-34-TRUTH 87884. Check this out. Just got word from the publisher, and I'm absolutely thrilled. I had no idea this was coming, but it's for a limited time only go to stronghold food.com stronghold food.com.

Hang on your the paperback today, and their links there were on Amazon right you order the paperback today through the website when the book comes out. You get the e-book free yeah I just found out about this from the publisher, and also get the first three chapters in PDF format.

Since you immediately yet so I just found out about this. Just posting it now stronghold of food.com go there ASAP and take advantage of this 866-34-TRUTH 87884. You've got questions, we've got answers. We go to the phones in Cranford, New Jersey Christian, welcome to the line of fire Brown director, Dr. Marco, my question is coming from Samuel chapter 28 from about 11 to 520. But my question from early on about 19 bucks Mike.

Somewhere out. You you and your son will be with me for comp of Israel God would deliver the finished. Now my question is Topock okay, I'm thinking that because some will. What a prospect.

I am believing that you will or your mom and therefore you can have one so not my conditioners when he said it's all on his thoughts will be with him, but let me Dr. of God. Like the Israelites triggered often understands that the doctor went to hell. What you are correct emotional yet��.Stop.1.2.

What is the application to withdraw from the right. Okay appreciate the question. So this is the famous passage about Saul Samuel in the witch of Endor Saul had band spiritist mediums, which is from the land of Israel when he was in a more God-fearing frame of mind. Now he's desperate what's gonna happen.

Samuel is dead.

Similar profits no longer there to consult Philistines war with Israel so he goes to the switch privately doesn't say that he saw these and obviously not everyone knew what Saul looked like an goes there and persuades the switch to try to call up Samuel from the dead.

Now she know she's reluctant to do it because Saul's band. People occur from the Lancet, she still secretly doing what she's doing and not go ahead, go ahead and do it ceases, who shall I bring up for you. He spring up Samuel when the woman so central she cried out loud voice and will miss it. So why have I be deceiving. Your saw not. That could indicate that God intervenes you because you're not allowed to consult the spirits of the dead, that the law was explicit on this Deuteronomy 18 of the passages. Necromancy was absolutely forbidden. So the fact that the woman screams when she sees him, means that God may have actually intervened and said okay. I'm actually going to do this and when she actually saw Samuel realized it was Sandra she was terrified because otherwise what she did was just false. It was this manipulation, it was consulting demonic spirits and them appearing as if they were spirits of the dead, so if in fact God intervenes here and Samuel was really raised up by God to speak, then he what he says is what actually happened. That would Samuel is actually speaking the spirit of Samuel we know that Moses and Elijah met with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration, right, and Jesus makes clear that all live to him right so Samuel is a living spirit at this moment God could bring him into room to speak.

If he chose to.

That's what actually happened and it was not a demonic spirit with some scholars still believe it was not a demonic spirit masquerading as Samuel then when he says to her, or to Saul and Eunice is going to be with me right there tomorrow. Your son shall be with me all he means is your old and be in the place of the dead, together with its ultimate heaven or hell. Send out your to be in the place of the dead to really be dead in your old and be dead. That's all that's all it means to read more into even be in heaven all oriented how or where Samuel was with me that part into it.

I would say that would not be the focus of the Old Testament mentality basically saying you know you and be dead here with me tomorrow. Now, with the larger lesson the larger lesson is if you utterly turn away from God gets report regard turns away from you, in advance, and future sin in your flesh, and without true repentance, and returning to God, you will not find deliverance and you will not hear his voice, his voice will only be calling you back because here Saul has done everything he can to try to get a word, but he is not humbled himself and repented and turned back to God because of his forsaking of the Lord now God won't speak to him the way he used it to me that's the greatest lesson to me that's the greatest painful thing to come away with and to recognize and save man tragic.

Look at how Saul ends of this man was once chosen by God and humble look at how he ends up because of his rejection of God and God is not here to some tool that you push a button and he speaks and gives you words know it doesn't work like that doesn't work like that. That's not who he is, is not how he operates. So we fear God, and we love God we have a relationship with him. And if we turn our backs on him and refuses grace will be to us hate. Thank you for the call. I do appreciate it.

Starting January 2 pay for those of you leaving me now the Lord central during the special season of the year for everyone else got questions, it's the line of fire with your host activist and author internationals leader and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 86643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown thank you so much for letting us on the line of fire today right before Christmas eve Christmas and Hanukkah all coming at the same time of year.

I talked to him about Hanukkah yesterday on through deuce there's had a great interview with my friend Jay.

The Bernstein talking about ways that Gentile believers followers of Jesus can provoke Jewish people to spiritual jealousy and the importance of all of us sharing our faith and how God wants to use us if you miss that broadcasters go to the line of fire.org. Click on listen you can hear yesterday's broadcast 866-348-7884.

You've got questions, we've God answers and let us go to Janine outside Baltimore. Welcome to the line of fire] Brown thank you, Mike and Eric Kern outlined our work in a restaurant and Merry Christmas to all the customers waiting and the customer called honor start dated and, from underneath her coat and held it up and said that she was very very offended by her saying Merry Christmas to it are just wondering what the best by the respondent say all so sorry. Happy Hanukkah. That's just with a big smile. In other words, if this woman knew that the person she was talking to his Jewish didn't celebrate Christmas and would be personally offended by it. She wasn't say Merry Christmas to be offensive. She was saying Merry Christmas to be polite and to join in the spirit of the of of the year and if if in her mind maybes versus Jewish Mavis persons Christian. Maybe she would've said happy holidays or something like that. It's time for example there is a Muslim and their Muslim garb should probably witnesses. Merry Christmas to the Muslim sociology was trying to proselytize or push her face.

She's assuming the majority people in their identifies Christian and I'm in unashamed Christian. So I looked to say Merry Christmas to people of the back if if the woman so the Star of David to say oh I'm so sorry. Happy Hanukkah, happy Hanukkah and if the woman then smiles. It's like you know and Chris possessive one Jewish government Christmas to you know it's it's if if the woman is open to hear that an Internet case you feel like it's all about the Jewish Messiah units for Christians all excited with the Jewish Messiah EOU Gisele, I'm so sorry to offend you. Happy Hanukkah and I think with that the person would smile and if they didn't smile the disco lousy attitude and there's not that much you can do right. I was in Austin though, it's interesting. I have a Christian friends. Christian leaders on the front lines of the culture wars legal battles and the courts over cultural issues, and they have really pushed say Merry Christmas for some years now. And of course present with trumpets going out of his way to save Merry Christmas and were bringing it bringing that back and and I appreciate that I fully understand what's happening with that in the part of a larger cultural attack on Christianity.

At the same route because of a Jewish believer in Jesus, I'm always thinking Hanukkah and Christmas, especially at this time I hear and I'm trying to judge what I say. In other words, that checking out of the of of the story that the the grocer yesterday.

The young guy checking us out, looked looked very much Gentile and from what I could see Intel name and everything so I didn't hesitate to say you have a blessed Christmas and a Merry Christmas if I thought the person might be Jewish. You know, I'd say happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and happy holidays.

That was there's there's the one thing the sensitivity to that that cultural attack on Christianity and what we want to say Merry Christmas. On the other hand, there is the recognition to celebrate Hanukkah and fury Jewish community are more useful, as host facility for villages distracted that in the best thing is different.

Caring you care is the biggest have a Merry Christmas. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution there again is Dr. Michael Brown thank you much for joining us on one farthest right you got questions, we've got answers hate before I go to the phones, 866348784 866-34-TRUTH that let me ask you question the news came in earlier today that the Berlin mass killer from Tunisia. The radical Muslim who was killed who killed 12 Germans of Christmas market and injured about 50 more that he was shot dead in Milan somehow was able to get out of Germany make it into Italy and founded by security forces and shot dead when I heard that I was glad to hear it. I was glad to hear you say cavities that yeah I was glad that someone who was a mass murderer intent on murdering more was stopped before he killed more people. He is a lost soul.

I grieve for that. But I'm glad that justice was done. And I'm glad that he was stopped before he could get to anybody else that's positive and you can have love for all people right you have love for all people want to see everybody saved and also 1/protect.

So let's say for example there is a mass murderer, whatever his ideology and God for bid but but consider consider the scenario right you and your friends in your community have Lotta kids in a new Christian school got a great kindergarten program. The gender adding grades in their 30 precious little kids in the school and this mass murder. This demented human being goes in there with the gun barricades. The building and says he's gonna start killing these kids in one hour and less he's given hundred million dollars in safe transport to some country and as your praying and crying because you got your your precious kids there in your friends. You gather together your praying and crying out to God and working with the authorities, etc. that a sniper with the SWAT team sees an open shot through the window and takes the man out which you not praise God we do not rejoice, would you not shed tears of gratitude to the Lord and and would you not go to local law enforcement and hug them and thank them and this sniper would be a hero in your community, would he not not murderer the murderer was the guy inside the sniper was the good guy right using God-given authority to carry the sword Romans 13. This is completely different than if you were persecuted for the gospel that because you know your persecutors are coming that you you look for ways to to plant bombs along their way to blow them off as their coming this completely different than before Paul was beheaded, trying to use some MMA moved to tip to stop the guys try to behead them in and grab the sordid that it was executed that know not which are two completely different things and and we absolutely want to reach everybody with the gospel and we want to see wickedness stopped both represent the heart of God. I am glad this man was caught and killed. Best case scenario would have been. He was arrested and found repentance in jail and become a witness to the Muslim world that would've been the best case scenario that not happening met him not being taken alive better than he took other lives his life was taken say have a nice is going to get even more angry. Here's the tragic thing about what happened in Berlin, according to what I've read, this was not so much a security mass which is a legal mess figure this out.

I I am not German I don't live in the country of Germany. I don't know why their legal system does what it does.

It's just sounds very peculiar to me. The man was not allowed to have German citizenship, or being a pastor German citizenship for number of reasons, and he did not have his papers passport. Whatever legal papers would identify him as a teenager with his lost with these destroyed intentionally. I don't know because he did not have his papers, he could not be sent back to Tunisia so he just stayed in Germany. How can that be right. How can that possibly be right. You just destroy your documentation now your original country can take you back well we can take you in, but I guess we have to. There's no way this man should have been in Germany and there was enough on him that he was on America's no-fly list.

Okay, if you try coming to American women stopped.

If you can identify so no for that for the families that lost kids, relatives, and the agony is probably only deepened when they realize how was this man was in their country. It's good that he cannot take anymore lives.

It's a shame that he is lost without Jesus, 866-348-7884. Let's go to San Diego, California. Add welcome to modifier background very happy Hanukkah, Nikes or need to speak right to the phone little hard to hear you are back.

Dr. brought back. Thank you.

More portly art about Alpert.

I did what it got right off the bat art about reaching especially the dedication victory.

The Scriptures and try to hear their heart, their objection vibrate bridge the gap back that thank you sir, but I do have it, I do have a couple questions regarding Hanukkah real quick if you might give you a little bit of Jewish insight. Yeah, I I wondered that them up after the time of I find ironic that Hanukkah not being in the Dr. the Jewish Bible is in the New Testament book we� But in the New Testament. It only references to the clock and reported football a minute on how I observed it or what my question is the lighting the light Hanukkah with the legend legendary miracle of oil being multiplied. The last great days of purification by my understanding of history that didn't come about it later. So my question is that when went used today by the blessing over the Hanukkah cattle. The blessing include the words you commanded us what good Lord.universe banded of light the candle Hanukkah [devotees will have the financial Hanukkah additional Shabbat minister like the, the lights of Hanukkah or or seven. So here's is a very important appointment that you raise right of let let me explain as follows in Jewish tradition you you have a distinction between that which is found explicitly in the law of Moses, in writing, and that which is later rabbinic tradition, the distinction would be made to all rights in Aramaic from the law of either Robin on from the rabbis right so they do recognize that distinction. For example, if you say the traditional Jew why are you wearing a yarmulke that snow were commanded in the Torah.

The setting commanded in the Talmud, they would say we have it by way of tradition, we do it by way of tradition and they would not look at that is carrying the same authority as say the commandment to observe the Sabbath or the commandment to worship God alone and not worship idols and other gods, so they would make that distinction. However, there are aspects of tradition that are so intertwined with the written law that the rabbis believe that the traditions were given along with the written law. There were given by way of oral law along the written law.

So the way a traditional Jew will observe Sabbath and was believed to be the 39 subdivisions of labor of Sabbath, traditional jubilees, God gave the written law say don't you work on the Sabbath to Moses and then God gave the oral law to Moses as well sing. Here's what work constitutes or hears what constitutes work on the Sabbath. However, one more.

However, there are seven rabbinic commandments that are recognized as rabbinic that was there post Bible they are recognized as rabbinic except they are considered to be divine commandments lighting of the Hanukkah candles lighting of the Sabbath candles seven rabbinic commandments that even though they are not written in the Bible. They are considered to be divine commandments. Hence the Hebrews receive honor and you have commanded us. If I ever pray those prayers of Sabbath prayer, Hanukkah prayer. I change them because I don't believe that God commanded Israel to like the Sabbath candles are God commanded Israel was hot so we can do these things by way of tradition is traditionally appreciate fine change wording really changes to have commanded us to light to the world that is a command. Thank you for the question as a kind of learning plan and Expo light a fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown just got another call or Michael from Boston to say that our first caller.

Today Rick was speaking of the whole foods, cooperative stores, which are small customer and stores and which do display artists work in order to get better buys the related to each other as a co-op. He says that there are five locations in Pennsylvania. He believes the war first caller was speaking about his whole foods cooperative in Erie as opposed to as opposed to the large chain of whole foods which I shop that I was describing earlier so I appreciate that a distinction I was unaware of it.

Of course same point exact same point holds as far as hypocrisy was first double standards was for a single display this religion, but not that religion you can rightly call someone out on that said, we display no religion. Find out if again is a Muslim shop and and you want to put up a Star of David, the situps hardware were Muslim spirits. Their prerogative fully their prerogative. And if it's Jewish storing in you want to put up a nativity scene system software would usually celebrate Christmas. Their prerogative to their prerogative and in a country that is dominant Christian terms of the historic faith professed in our nation then hate great if nativity scene suppose that there is no conflict between separation of church and state there began separation of church and state was to keep the state of the church to say there will not be one state religion.

So Presbyterianism Baptist faith or Catholicism will be the face of America consumes Christianity, it was University presupposes the faith right, but there will not be a specific denomination there lucky estate church and the state will stand church business.

Not to say that the government can sponsor nativity's is never, never, the thought was a government can sponsor Hanukkah display is so back to whole foods.

Betsy, thanks for catching that. Bring it to my attention. And thanks to Michael Boston to confirming what you thought would have even had a clue and in that respect. If I made a generalization about whole foods based on this one case of forgiving for that. I believe it is about whole foods. Those based on my own experience in my own being in the store and would surprise me that they wouldn't have any to be seen any case, this will cover the 86634878840. Let me get to some emails from Kenneth hello Dr. Brown your site recently soaring with return on prophetic perspectives on current events. My question is why Kim Clement is not being acknowledged all through the church was prophecy of Donald Trump back in April 2007 is also prophecy about Hillary Clinton is pretty amazing 2006. Kim Clement is recently passed waited for a few in the church will or even acknowledging the fact that he my sister heard from God. Your thoughts please. Yes, thank you for raising that.

Actually, I would say that within certain charismatic circles. Kim Clement was very well known and another charismatic circles.

He was known and then in the the non-charismatic church.

He was very virtually unknown, so his.

He deftly had a high profile in many camps and didn't know them at all, so it's no surprise that quote the whole church doesn't know about his prophetic word about Donald Trump in 2007. I'm not familiar with one Hillary Clinton 2006 not in detail anyway so the main reason why the whole Church of America does not say while Kim Clement had a prophecy about Donald Trump way back in 2007 and not acknowledgingthe majority church would know Kim Clement is despite his very high profile in certain services like the plenty or parts of the church have no clue who I am at the slightest compliant. There plenty must like that woman.

Certain areas completely unknown and others that are the biggest reason the second thing would be that if someone has delivered many prophecies that in their it's not clear how they come to pass, of the not come to pass, how they come to pass that the analyst was really striking and hurried in a loud and clear way it gets lost in the shuffle.

Know what I'm saying sometimes and I charismatic circles. We have lots and lots of prophetic words and season for this get lost in the shuffle and sometimes the words are not clear their somewhat ambiguous as an prophetic words in the Bible is only a reprint of time that we look back and understand that being said, Chris news website and Chris website general absolutely featured the Kim Clement prophecy months back and now with his passing over the election of of Donald Trump, the presidency has specially featured and is shouting out so those that you would expect to feature it and shout it out. They have they have and those that you expect to not be aware of it. They're not aware of it now.

I was in dialogue with a very very sincere. Cessation is was a critic of the charismatic movement recognizes me as a brother. I recognize him as a brother, but he's a very strong critic of the movement. He doesn't believe people like Betty Hanner saved. For example, and we question the salvation or at least the spiritual discernment of of friends of mine coworkers of mine and when we were discussing prophecies about Donald Trump before his election, saying that he was going to be the next president God is raising him up, etc. this gentleman asked me rightly so. If these prophetic words do not come to pass, if in fact people are saying that the Lord is shown in this. The Lord is shown on that and that Donald Trump be the president.

Regardless, Donald Trump. In this way that doesn't happen. Is it not getting elected, would I then call that out what I then say, okay, here is a public prophecy for someone that I recognize as a brother or someone who's a recognized leader in the charismatic movement, and this individual prophesied that Donald Trump would be the president of the United States and he wasn't didn't happen.

And it was not a conditional prophecy was different prophecy. What I then say, okay, it's clear that this individual did not hear from the Lord on this right and I said absolutely, absolutely.

And at that point, I think, to the versus your brother asked me this.

It was self-evident to him. Might my guess that Donald Trump would not be the next president. Well the fact that he is our President-elect, and that he's already done some pretty surprising things sanction everything he says or does, or is obviously but he's done some pretty significant things right on my secessionist friends who were perhaps mocking this are they willing to look again and say may be there's something to this may be in fact there is maybe there, there is a true prophetic word that was given. Maybe prophecy does exist today is fair right if I'm expected to call out error which I hope I do. Do they consistently as is appropriate, then, to those who rejected things in common.

Or when they're wrong or they want to say hey, it looks like I was wrong or they discuss about just have nothing prophetic about limits must be fair, we do right.

United States has left militantly anti-Israel resolution pass by abstaining from voting in the Security Council. Okay, this was put forth yesterday put forth yesterday. This anti-Israel vote before the Security Council that would say all settlements that have been built in so-called Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, so West Bank, East Jerusalem would be considered illegal all right and Egypt was part of this resolution. From what we understand, President-elect Tromp intervened and asked Egypt to back away from this they did instead other nations, New Zealand, Malaysia. Other nations put this forward together to the Security Council and all we had to do was veto about. It's all we had to do and that's what we have done for years and that's what righteousness requires in the highly anti-Semitic atmosphere of the UN and in a last ugly gesture from our president a shameful gesture. A despicable gesture adjuster gesture that will live on in infamy in the legacy of Pres. Obama. He directed our people in the UN to abstain from voting because of which the resolution passed. Shame on president Obama and what a dramatic contrast already between our outgoing Pres. and our incoming president, I assure you in the sight of God. This is an ugly day for Pres. Obama and the people of America, but the data can be redeemed through our incoming administration doing the right thing, 86634 true the number to call. Let's start in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Pat, welcome to the line of fire. Michael hurt. I kind Nikolai how incredibly brutal plenty of applicant black guy kept saying how holy act were her and I expect great though hot and when he says she Pat are you a vegetarian or vegan, no all right will then something 1000 Times Worse Takes Pl. all the time and slaughterhouses. Oh, I know I got the veggie neither holy, though I understand that the because there is nothing intrinsically unholy about offering an animal up to the Lord. Another weakness is much like Ike I grew up in New York City and Long Island on the counter. One of my sons laws a hunter and he'll will you know he and his son will will you prepare an animal to be eaten. Instead, I probably get sick to my stomach watching them okay and and, obviously, and slaughterhouses. There are certain rules in place that are supposed to be.

You know you made incoming animals in the best way possible that we have pets that we relate to our suite pets and can imagine. Like in the Philippines that they eat dogs and stuff like that but, or, you know, Italy. The horses are in different cultures eat these things we can't relate to in our culture, but the fact of the matter was that and is that the animals are given for the human race. They were given for food and they were given also to be subdued by the human race that is an important little cages and left to rot like they might be in a zoo, but not human beings.

They they don't have souls as human beings do and in a culture in which animal sacrifice is normal in a culture in which you hunting to kill animals for food is is the is normal then there would it would strike that part of the world the same way it would strike me growing up as New York Jew you know and am exposed to these kinds of things, or say to a butcher in a working butchery dislike normal life but I think we have to recognizes the gravity of it.

I think your point is well taken. In terms of the gravity of this that when when you would go in and say put your head your hands on the head of an animal and confess your sins over that animal within be have its next slit and it would be offered upon the altar. That's a very sobering thing. That's a very real revelation of life for life, and in many cases animals live very closely to human beings when I go to India every year when you go further out from the big cities you got the animals walking the streets. The water buffalo can sleep in a right near where the villagers sleeps and there's a certain connection and tenderness between them, so it is gravity to it that this was a sacred thing.

This was life for life and and that the innocent taken the place of the guilty and an animal not giving itself to be offered up to God is representative of us as believers, giving ourselves up to God so wall on the on the the the one hand, Pat, if if we find this repulsive. It's as part of our culture because again killing animals for food and killing animals that are trying to to attack. Is this part of life and much of the world and rental sacrifices play a sacred part in religions over the years from the will to this day in Islam.

While we don't want to relate through based on our culture would more distant from this the focus of us recognize the gravity of life for life. Ultimately, pointing to Jesus and that's the ultimate holy death of all and one where he sacrificed himself for a good look at the brutality and ugliness of it showing the horror of sin and the punishment of sin. I thank you for raising the point weighing in 866-34-TRUTH we go to Brant and Raleigh North Carolina. Thanks for calling the line of fire all my question is a big role in church. And in living in an interactive and were growing up in reading the Scripture letter on the new testament it again. How important it is for everyone to basically be on the same page as a Christian and feel like denominational aspect of all these churches kind of care to fall apart with that and I went with one preaching about how the one down the road isn't gonna write the word on it right and artists are accountable to get your thoughts on where and how to approach it. Speaking to someone without inner enemy.

Some people get mad when you talk about how it shouldn't be that important. And I mean am I even rot in all yeah and in looking for call to be 10 why is there such tremendous division in in our midst. Yet, these are these important issues to raise let let's come at it from a little different angle. Right of there are within the larger claims of Christendom. The larger divisions between Roman Catholic and Russian Greek Orthodox and Protestant, and others, and then within Protestantism. There are many many many subgroups hundreds thousands of different denominations and groups.

So if we just say within Protestantism, then how do we find unity.

I believe it's the spirit. The attitude Brant more than the specifics. In other words, if I recognize that we are building a sports arena and in the sports arena were going to have basketball, hockey, and then an outdoor field for a for football and baseball and then all the different teams participate you build the thing together and share the profits.

There's a larger unity around sports will you have the distinctions between the games, baseball, football, hockey, basketball, in the same way with denominations.

If we agree on the fundamentals we agree on the fundamentals of the authority of Scripture and one true God and the Lordship of Jesus, salvation only found in him and there's only one body, and will or will all go to be for the same family. Then we can say find you emphasize this.

I emphasize this where more burden about this or more birds about this, your denomination sees. This is most important.

We see this is most importantly different instruments with an orchestra brawl the same song. If we can recognize who are brothers and sisters are within the body. Then we can have an attitude of humility towards one another to hate this will, I believe this what I feel is most important for the food court at the mall was there to eat right and it's a cooperative effort, but this was a time this was Mexican. This was an American so here's here's what's most important to me that I recognize were all part of the same family.

Once we determine who the family is unity in the mystery divisions. The fact that I can bring artists to help cultivate our unit for and by the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown your voice and more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown.

Thanks enough.

One for you got question you got answers.

Michael Brown delighted to be with you so Brant just to finish up there or people that I see her outside the pale of salvation.

They deny fundamentals about the war they deny fundamentals about salvation fundamentals about Scripture and therefore do not recognize them as brothers and sisters within the body recognizes brothers and sisters, many believers who have differences with me on perhaps baptism, or perhaps the gifts of the spirit, or perhaps aspects of the sovereignty of God. These are in-house disputes. These are debates within the family and perfectly fine. We have these because I don't know that any one person, one group has all perfect knowledge revelation on all subjects revealed in Scripture. So we hold what we do.

I hold what I do firmly, clearly believing it's true believe is right, but I like Adina Rachel on the other hand, are hills of Zion.

There are hills, I would. I would rather die than deny, and others were. We have debate on so that's the key thing if I recognize that the pastor in the building next door loves the Lord and was to serve and please the Lord, if I believe he's wrong on Calvinism I believe is wrong on gifts of the spirit. I believe is wrong on Israel I believe is wrong on women in ministry I believe is wrong on observe the dietary laws or whatever. Okay, then I can say hey here's what we hold to. Here's why I recognize this man is my brother derogation next door as brothers and sisters. And let's pray for one another and let's periodically do things together and distribute witness to the community together. This is how we work as one body. The fact that we have distinctives does not mean that we can that have unity to repeat, we can find unity in our distinctives. Thank you for the questions let us not be divisive in the midst of our distinctives and were someone needs to be worn were someone is outside of the faith were at the party for the faith.

We need your best to make our views known as clearly as possible and call them repentance will thank you for the call 866-34-TRUTH 87884.

Let's go to Norman in Charlotte. Welcome to the line of fire, and I let mom know well pregnant lady but will you be able to do anything about that near grill yet.

As I locked him out. Okay.

Excellent question silk UN Security Council because he said again, shame on Pres. Obama because we abstained from this anti-Israel resolution rather than vetoing it and people saw this coming fact there are Israeli sources, claiming that Pres. Trump work with the Palestinians, excuse me, Pres. Obama work with the Palestinians to craft this anti-Israel resolution that this was his parting shot at Prime Minister Netanyahu because he couldn't go further, this at least he was going to do something very ugly and presently Trump already working against it.

So this is an outrage and thankfully presently Trump coming in with a very different attitude towards Israel that are outgoing Pres. had to his shame. Can this be fixed.

Well the first thing is Israel is been rejected as Israel's MSA we don't care what you say really do what we do and we reject this. That's the first thing and I believe President-elect Trump will stand with Israel and his ambassador David Friedman will stand with Israel and say we support what you're doing. Keep doing it. How can this ultimately turn ultimately turn, when the UN repents of its anti-Semitism.

Norman, the security resolution will only turn when the UN repents of its clear anti-Israel bias and its frequently documented anti-Semitism, and at that point it'll turn until then, I'm not holding my breath for that either, sir. Until then we pray for mercy on the nations involved. We pray for mercy on America for the foolish decision we made today and we encourage Israel to do what's right not to attack Palestinians or hunt Palestinians, but to do what is released to do its best interests of security and we urge America to stand with Israel and to work together with the Palestinians four-way that there can be side by side peaceful, prosperous, living massive mountain to tackle massive obstacle to overcome. Only with God's help will it happen. I thank you though for asking. So again, in short, I don't see how this will be turned but Israel will ignore and America will stand with Israel ignoring it under Pres. Trump, 866-34-TRUTH gets one more question here from Randy where demons come from the Bible says the fallen angels have really been down and how our disembodied spirit souls of people who died without making Jesus Lord of their life lost spirits secret shelter on the earth looking for person prepress until the take away rapture as we know Christian spirits go to heaven to be with God. And why would muscles be bound to the kingdom of the God of this wrongful judgment okay Randy there is zero evidence that when human beings die that now there spirits keep floating around looking for places to have and that's where demons come from. So forget that okay Luke 16 of the passages make clear that upon death. There is immediate separation, either in a blessed place for the presence of God or separated in place of judgment, so human spirits and not just floating on the earth endlessly looking for places to go swimming. Demons come from some of the spirits rebelled of all some of the fallen angels have been bound in chains and are kept in it in another world is remarkable, but true's a computer to talk about that. Jude points in the direction however it doesn't say that all angels that fell or in that state. Some believe the demons are fallen angels and that's all it is and there they are our disembodied spirits and they're looking for some being to inhabit.

Hence, people being demonized other say no no no the end and by the late there is nothing in the Bible it says that demons are angels, except there there both called spirits which were points in a direction and the unclean spirits evil spirits. Therefore, fallen. The other option that's presented. But it's it's assuming a lot is that there was a pre-creation between Genesis 1112, or I should say before Genesis 1 to the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and then the earth became formless and void verse two that's on stress that have the become formless and void. Well, there was a result of Satan's fall in the first race of human being sinning this before Adam and then those spirits of those human beings have been roaming the earth.

Those are demons there disembodied human spirits roaming the earth, and that God destroy that world and that's where there is darkness and chaos.

And then he he made it the second world and that's where Adam comes from Adam and Eve.

That's why you have these these humanlike beings were hundreds of thousands of years old is the pre-Adamic race and I trust answer scientific questions and tries to explain. Genesis 1112, but presupposes so much that I discuss in the text that I believe the theory is unlike I can't rejected 100% guaranteed find on life so demons: Philip spirits could well be filled in on this note.

Evil. It's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 6643.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown thinks about you for joining us on this December 23, March 30 eighth birthday of our younger daughter Megan. So happy birthday again make would enjoy your life and how we love your family is and our grandkids Eliana and aunt also known as your kids yeah wish we had quite a discussion of the other day about with the with Nancy and I Nancy was saying that when she was sick little girl she wanted to be a boy really want to be a boy. We talk about you know the culture that Outlook that would mean even that Eliana grander starts again.

Think of it.

If you become a boy it were all laughing about not knocking Deming, those that struggle, but laughing about heaven than make our daughter never would've been born because that's another remarried and there never had Eliana, so thankfully thankfully we did and were blessed and happy birthday again make if you missed this, let me say it again, shame on Pres. Obama instructing a representative in the UN Security Council to abstain from an ugly anti-Israel vote present. Like Trump had worked against this happening to his credit, the Obama administration. However, today instructed our representative to abstain from voting, and therefore the UN Security Council passed an ugly anti-Israel resolution that would even make his ready status in East Jerusalem.

Questionable shame on on Pres. Obama. This is the only positive is it does reveal the degree of antipathy he had towards Prime Minister Netanyahu and the fact that he was not the friend of Israel that he claimed to be in the other good news is that present like Trump stay very different stance on this.

You may have other problems with our incoming president, but please recognize he is doing some good things in particular will, among other things, when it comes to Israel, 8663 freight 7884.

There is question was how going over really trusting God results track record is how, in other words, you might feel that the Lord has really called you to tell your boss that six months from now. You're going to be leaving your job and you're going to be going on the mission field, and you really believe God's called you to do it and you sure that you talk with your spiritual leaders and they all ferment you and your spouse are in harmony to meet with your boss give your boss six months notice you don't know where your money is coming from what's coming next. You feel you're supposed to do that in six months later. You do resign from your job. Everything works smoothly. There you have a going away party or sent out and miraculously you have your funding to to step out to the mission field while you really were trusting God and maybe had some doubts and questions on the way which really were trusting obvious that I need to have. I like to have insurance. When I step out that that I'm obeying, taking some myself are doing and I have various ways.

I'll check to be sure that major decisions I make when I know that I know. Step out and found that stepping out faith is more secure than anything else entirely on God and see him backing us yesterday that faith when the opposite happens and we have questions. Okay what I belong. Presumption is I just push anything manufacturing it.

We learn from it I file the line of fire with your host next transfer joining us on on fire.

This is Michael Brown you got questions. We got answers 866-34-TRUTH 784 happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas. Let's go to Jimmy and Winston-Salem walking to the line of fire like you all. Thank you. Yet, here yeah will you have a question for me right structure early in chapter 1 of Genesis, God created man and woman, the severe not process, get later on in chapter 2 believe it is later in sometime later. God put the big sleep, or rip and created a happen. The first woman he created. When God created heaven and earth.

Later, he took a rib from Adam and created a never really understood language version will know that there was a heart there is no first one when God created a Dom Wright which is Adam.

He created a Dom male and female. In other words, within the first man was also the ingredients for the woman to use that word there there some rabbinic beliefs that that a Dom was created. If you seem like a Siamese twin picture back to back mail on one side female on the other euro androgynous, both male and female that's that's clearly not indicated in the text. Rather, God made a Dom who is this man or Adam right and made him as a heart in the cave made him mail and female so even though he is man. He had within him the seeds of woman and that's why thou Genesis 2, God takes the rib or the side from the man, and from that makes the woman okay so that out of the man out of the each comes the Isha the woman, and now when they reunited marriage. The two become one, so there was not another woman that was made.

First, the first woman is Eve, and Hebrew, because she is the mother of all living so. Genesis 1 gives us the bigger picture. The larger picture and Genesis 2 now gives us the more specific picture of what happened.

Genesis 1. The summary God created a Dom male and female, and now the specifics God created a Dom no suitable partner for a Dom.

He then takes the rib or side from a Dom out of that makes cobalt the woman another two become one. Hence he made a Dom male and female at creation he made humankind male and female.

That's the right way to understand it. Thank you sir for the question. I do appreciate it. 866-348-7884 I wrote a bunch of articles this week didn't plan on writing as much, but just kept writing the most recent one today. Why can't I marry the robot. I love the rise of rubble sexual since it's a printed over the stream posted on the stream stream.org that leads to the question or Europa phobic Robo phobic well why not Mina right would woman in France loves her robot, but people have bonds with Pat's right married pets is a growing trend of people marrying themselves good hot housekeeping is a whole article about other people marry themselves in their self marriage counselors and think of it seriously. It's is growing trend. If you can marry yourself.

You marry Pat if marriages are redefined instead of in your fermentable existing of two people or people. Why must it have people for that matter like into robots marry. I guess that's where you go eventually. Right. But if you herald one you love the robot. Why can you marry it, he said, how did how dare you insult a couples by centerleft Israelite incentive of real it's something that marriage with her just discriminate simply not marriage, something that marriage. So with unintended snow-covered Danes, not the meaning of marriage in history look there been people are same-sex attracted through history have they not everything we understand you have been why was it marriage redefined a million times over. Even in places where homosexual practice was was was welcomed the order celebrated certain aspects of society, whether the University refinanced his marriage was a different purpose, meaning, understanding of so check out the articles one that I wrote yesterday.

Let's write to what, let's go right back to the phones and we go to Lynn and Huntersville, North Carolina.

Thanks for calling the line of fire friend of mine is Jewish. I highly line. We were joking about my pain. I'm going to share your knowledge about me not believing how and she also stated plaintiff mean to me on a number of the direction of the body know that's that's not correct what what kind of Jew issues. She, you know the kind of synagogue she goes to Temple short hike that is rented to see if to your knowledge, this should be scrupulously observed. The dietary laws now is okay so she's she's a liberal Jew she she doesn't even know what Jews believe.

Okay so important. I mean we know it was of her.

That, in point of fact a traditional Jews all believe in the resurrection of the body of the they believe that that that is a final thing that happens is not a focus for traditional Jews. Traditional Jews believe in the world to come.

They believe that there is some type of a of a hell like a purgatory were prepared to go after death is usually right and and there are some traditional Jews who believe that some truly wicked people will suffer, and in a hell like condition forever. Some believe that okay like I then lets this just heard that's just stuff she's saying from the viewpoint of a liberal you minister to okay she's not a traditional view would mean that she does not scrupulously observe the Sabbath refused to drive on the Sabbath. The synagogue with the family on the Sabbath, like the Sabbath candles every Friday night, etc. she's right she put it, if you goes to synagogue regulars probably were former conservative synagogue Associates and and and they would think that orthodoxy, fanatical but traditional Jews do not put the same emphasis on heaven and hell. The Christians do they put more of an emphasis on living in this world to follow his commandments. And please God, or to put more than emphasis on that and she she's not emphasizing keep the commandments that much either because she's not a traditional Jewish woman but my Julie exactly exactly somebody a right exactly what you know before you die you know God half to their certain good ethical right clinician good ethical principles that she would hold to Jewish woman in a traditional Jews who wants to see their good deeds out the winter, veggies, traditional Jews absolutely believe the future resurrection of the body.

It's a fundamental confession, something that they believe it confessed every day I encourage you to get my book 60 questions questions asked by Jewish police practices 60 questions. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution there again is Dr. Michael Brown looking friends quantify the Michael Brown you've got questions, God answers, let me make this a teachable moment on the heels of the call from Lynn and Huntersville, North Carolina talking to Jewish friend about what Jews believe if if you have is a coworker's ear Jewish person and you have is a coworker, a devout Catholic right medical workers, and nominal Catholic. Another one is of very very committed Baptist and another one is a very liberal presbyterian. If you ask all four of them separately.

What Christians believe you to get very different answers from the nominal Catholic and a devout Catholic to the committed Baptist and the liberal presbyterian. You get very very different answers and then you have to decide okay who's really representing the faith.

Let's put aside the Catholic Protestant device for the moment and say that if you go back to New Testament times did the disciples literally believe Jesus rose from the dead, that they literally believe he died for since they literally believe in a virgin birth that they did. They literally believe that faith in Jesus, was the difference between heaven and hell may attribute yes to all of the above and today literally believe the Hebrew Scriptures were the word of God and that God literally brought the children of Israel out of Egypt.

Yes to all the above.

So when you talk to a liberal presbyterian today.

Mrs. Weltman of the Bible is inspired, but so are the other ancient religious writings of the Hindus, Buddhism, Judaism, etc., and no unfortunately no literal bodily resurrection or real heaven or hell raiser that will they have departed from the historic faith they have departed from the historic faith. So the same way a Jew today who departs from traditional Jewish views. They are reflecting more modern views there reflecting a more recent humanistic interpretation of the faith, and therefore they can tell you what they believe in their synagogue or their temple as they call it Orthodox Jews still referred to as a temple because the temples in Jerusalem waiting for to be rebuilt.

This means I get a better understanding of what they believe by talking to actual practitioner, 86634 we go to wade in Vienna, Illinois. Welcome to the line of fire around what you're talking. Thank you. I urgently note time that all believers will experience have the ability to talking tongue and I have not been down seven or so years started a church and am wondering what what do you believe that in what could I be doing wrong or why my yeah okay first the best thing to do is to take any pressure off yourself feel as if you're doing something wrong.

I fully understand why you feel like that in the current issue for your yes I do believe that tongues is available potentially to all believers of someone say look, Paul writes a prescription is called will speak in tongues and he means there that tongues given to some nuts others understand as a legitimate interpretation. It's also possible he saying that the gift of tongues to deliver public utterances is only given to some, but that any believer can speak in tongues and their their own prayer and devotion to the war, but first I would just take any pressure off myself and recognize as a child of God.

Your loved by God saved or indwelt by the Holy Spirit you have eternal life, and that's what matters most and you want to rejoice in that you want to be glad and that you want to make that the primary primary pattern of of your relationship with God, not what's wrong with me but it's wonderful to be a son of God and be forgiven of my sins and to have fellowship with God. My father start their and then you want to ask God to give you everything he has, so that you can serve him most effectively that you can touch a dying world most effectively that you can be intimate with him most deeply that you can share the gospel. Most powerfully those Lord everything you have for me or give me the fullness of your spirit so I can serve you the best and make you known the best and then just worship him alone and praise him alone. If you feel an overflow in the image of John seven out of his belly will float flow rivers of living water for me.

As a result of which I just began to other new words and as they began to come to my lips arose while not making these up there just flowing, and the more I did it, the more naturally folks are sometimes people are waiting for God to take over their mouths and just like I'm speaking to in English now. It would be as if my mouth was overtaken and. And suddenly I was speaking to you and in a language I never learned I was just being forced to do it.

Melissa how works in pulses the spirits of the prophets are subject to the profits and any he gives instructions about when it's appropriate to speak in tongues was not meaning that it is in our power to do it or not do it once.

Because of that it it it it's like you're laying in bed and goddesses get up in your waiting for him to physically pull you up places now get up, but the God-given center paralyzing trip about you go to get off or unify the power to get up. That's the way it often is stand up on your feet pulses to a lay man and ask for Tammy. He stands up because he he believes an incident is empowered to do it so perhaps that will help you as you worshiping the Lord in prayer group or loan praying and you just begin to feel something welling up within you begins is to speak a new language if it's generally the Lord you'll find a wonderful beautiful flow of his spirit will find joy in praying in tongues you find deeper encounter with God to find even an empowerment in your your witness for the summit to force let it flow and as the Holy Spirit moves on you.
