The Fruit of Revival and Answers to Your Questions

Oh yes we pray for awakening revival on the national level but you know what happens to an individual when they encountered God in a radical way they are changed for life stage for the line of fire with your host activist and author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry getting to the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown. All right, we're going to do a few things today that are very special on the line of fire number one because I only answered emails on Friday. Any question you want to ask me of any kind in any area of expertise. I have, by all means give me a call 86 634-8784 so I can front you got questions.

We got answers nothing office is off limits elicits off limits for Christian talk radio, but no subject is off limits. I don't mind answering on the mind you differing with me or probing me on something so phone lines are open 866-34-TRUTH just like we would do on Friday once more. You got questions. We got answers, but what I want to do throughout the broadcast is encourage your faith in God today when we pray for national awakening, when we pray for national revival. We sale God have mercy on America. We meet we see these old ongoing inner-city violence in a little child getting killed in a drive-by shooting.

You think hold God we we see the terrible divisions tearing up our country. We we see some of the problems were having in the fear of terrorism and the compromise state of the church and on and on. The list goes on the latest nearly pornographic reality TV show whatever all symptomatic of the state of our nation and every sale God have mercy on God sent revival but but often we don't really think about what that means when you really think about what that means. On a personal level. What happens when God comes in revival and changes lives. What happens when God comes in revival and visits an individual as someone who served in the Brownsville revival from 1996 to 2000 as a leader and was in more than 100 services, plus at least that many classes special teaching sessions probably had that in much much higher number and is one who has seen the fruit of the change lives now 20 years down the line. I want to encourage this week. I have the joy and privilege of ministry and world revival church in Kansas City, Missouri.

The pastor of that church in a time of tremendous discouragement in his personal life and real tension in his marriage visited Pensacola during the Brownsville revival in March 1996 he was touched there mightily didn't realize how much he was touched. We got home to his home church the Sunday night service.

Something dramatic happened to him when he walked in the door. He was dramatically and supernaturally and deeply and forever changed and revival fire broke out in the church they continue to have ways of revival for 20 years now, and in when I was with them. I heard the testimonies of lives dramatically change one woman sharing how she was just a simple housewife for five years ago, and folks from that church in Kansas City came to her little town in Canada and ministered in the little church where they were and she was dramatically touched and is now should married to muscleman is now led many many Muslims to Jesus and she said I was just a simple housewife so I want to encourage you and all over the phone lines as well.

If your life was dramatically changed America, one brother calling in from I think it was Charlotte North Carolina saying how he was dramatically touched.

He had been addicted to cocaine for years and he was touched dramatically by the Lord in a revival service and after that he didn't even want cocaine. He is free from that day on, so I want to encourage you. Jesus is in the business of radically changing lives, and we pray for national awakening praying for this to happen on the multiplied level through the society file line of 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 check check this out.

A pole has been done and and according to this poll, most most Christians that were polled are pretty sure Donald Trump is not the Antichrist. Please, is not the Antichrist.

Barack Obama is not the antichrist. Boy oh boy oh boy 866-34-TRUTH 87884 Dr. Brown how can you be sure to what time will tell.

Has time will tell. So today you got questions.

We got answers were opening the phones is only answered email questions on Friday.

Any question you have in any area of expertise.

And if you want to talk to me about nothing off limits as long as it's when the bout within the bounds of Christian radio phone lines are open but interspersed over the time of taking calls.

I will encourage your hearts with testimonies from lives dramatically changed. Here's some unemployed posted this on my Facebook page and answer to this question was your life dramatically changed in the recent revival movement like Brownsville, Smith, and if so do your story here. Just a short summary of sharing some of these on the air today and be candid with open us up of the time said if you're Brownsville retouched and gotten flooded with stories. We got a few responses immediately. I here's here's from Lloyd at Brownsville. God ignited an evangelistic fire in my soul that continues to increase in intensity.

I've been praying for the five revival to fall. Ever since I was there almost 20 years ago. Come Holy Spirit is my constant prayer. It started Brownsville. It continues today even more than then right that's the work of the spirit friends.

That's not just a good teaching that changed your perspective and Encouraging Word that help to get through the day when someone says that an evangelistic fire was ignited in their sole desire to reach the lost that that was ignited in someone's soul almost 20 years ago, quote, and it continues to increase in intensity.

That's the work of the spirit.

Some of you race in the South where you have revival meetings were holding a revival next week holding a revival next month and and all that is all that is is a series of special meetings where everybody gets excited for a few days. A special speaker special song special offering pretty much life goes back to normal after that and I said for decades. You can no more hold a revival you can hold hurricane you know more. Schedule revival you can schedule an earthquake revival is also the man works up revival something God sends down and it's at its essence it is a season of unusual divine visitation but we are so used to church as usual. We are so use to kind of a watered-down non-impacting American gospel that we are hardly familiar most of us with radical, dramatic, supernatural, lasting transformation, lasting conversion, and yes, of course, discipleship is always critical step-by-step walk with the Lord's will is critical. But something happens when revival fires really burning and people get touched in 20 years later they're still living out that reality and growing in the Lord. That's the work of the spirit that's what were praying for on a national level, 866-34-TRUTH, right let us go to Long Island and start with your questions. Tom welcome to the line of fire will automatically start recently saved. So I feel. Other still true values tell me Shoko Robertson motors told that King David was related to Goliath through the line of Ruth daughter with dockable lab daughter-in-law with dockable lab.

Yeah, you got a little bit where the where did he get that from silly ghost goes toward an ecstatic hobo talked about to start with a blockage with Gary to make sure it was well Michael dockable Benbrook showcases his lack of one person only one person in the world to give me an answer and he's in Israel, yet a little suspicious of Miller just on the surface of it.

Let me say this many times I hear something and I will just say absolutely, categorically, can't be right. That's how I want to react to this. That's how I want to respond.

I'm just trying to think it through. For a minute. Is there anything I'm I missing, and look on the surface of it. Goliath is it is a Philistine right the Philistines were not a Semitic people, the Philistines were were enemies of Israel and Goliath of Gath.

These he is a Philistine.

And Ruth was a Moabite and then Ruth now her genealogy. Everything after that is traced through her marriage into Israelite families right and and now there is that genealogy which is a Jew day in genealogy and ultimately in a few generations produces King David, so I don't see any connection got a Moabite and a Philistine.

There is no connection between them.

One is a Semitic not Israelite people.

The other is a non-Semitic, not Israelite people and you know that and what I'm I'm trying to wonder about. Sometimes the rabbis will have a playful way of connecting things a play on words or some obscure thing but it's it's not necessarily meant to be taken literally or it's something they may believe, but it's far-fetched and wrong in this case ice. I see no possible connection whatsoever and you know the title being that you got your new stores are really just purchased George person. Now he associates Coco juice is legit with everything everything you gonna slow to remember that a significant culture that will be particular that I am aware of as you get to get into a mold logic looking glacial get the ball yet. I only think it will print you so so here's here's here's where it's coming from. Okay, as I said, trying to to find out where this is coming from. It is, it is Jewish tradition all right and and here's here's where it comes from. But there is 00 basis in fact. Okay it is Jewish tradition, but I thought okay let's just type in online daily King David Goliath related Ruth. So here's the Jewish tradition, but it has zero factual support whatsoever right David and Goliath were cousins.

According to Jewish tradition below and repeat zero support for David's great-grandmother was Ruth the Moabite. That's correct will whose there were there was Ruth okay and and there was Orpha so according to this Davis great-grandmother was Ruth the Moabite and Goliath was Orpha's sister and sister-in-law. Is there any support for that at all. Zero. According to the tradition. Both women were daughters of egg lawn King of Moab. So Ruth and Orpha were were daughters of egg lawn, the king of Moab that the book of Judges speaks about is there any factual support for that 00 is just rabbinic tradition. So tell your friend all it is is a nice story that somebody made up. There's no supportive work factually and if they say no.

We have there are no sources that back this up. Okay, I'm happy to eat my words and discover source, but their wares again come from where outside of that I started out here is very proud of you and if you say no, but the rabbi said it doesn't mean it had a basis in fact it doesn't learn that is all. Trust me, there's thousands of traditions with all kinds of ideas and so on and it just it's kind of embellishes the story, but without fact and for your friend.

The thing to do is encourage them major on the majors like you doing major on the majors. You know, eat, eat. The good healthy stuff. The nutrient rich stuff spiritually and don't get caught on tangents but thanks for the call Tom. All right 866-34-TRUTH 87884 wonders of the wild.

This is truly extraordinary. At the end of the Saturday night meeting was talking to Pastor Steve Gray, pastoral revival church and talking to Warren Marcus, Jewish believer good friend of mine who's a videographer who did video documentaries about Brownsville, about Smith and etc. since God was moving there and we began to tell stories between the three of us of cameramen who came to the meetings and were dramatically touched once during a tell you, on the other side of the break. If I didn't know about it myself. I would hardly believe it, but it happened. The meetings were always there and we saw the fruit afterwards so you'll hear that when we come back and will take you because you've got questions, we've got answers right here in the line of fire 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. This is one of the great songs that we would sing in revival there be the same again.

And as we sang it in worship Friday night in Kansas City. I just began to weep, begin to weep because of the presence of God the building.

I began to weep because of my desire to be more like Jesus. I began to weep because I remembered some of the amazing times we had. The meetings were in.

We sang that song with passion, with our hearts burning cried out all God can't change us higher heights.

The deeper depths what it whatever you want to do, Lord, do it me so quick testimony, 866-348-7884 the number to call you got questions. We got answers and go right back to your calls. In a moment, a Jewish atheist photographer attended our service in Pensacola Florida years ago as an observer he had done a lot of photography. That kind of focused on death and dying very dark and he was touched during the meetings Jewish atheist and ill people came curiosity seekers. You don't get rich you know professional journalists want to write about things like that.

CNN came 60 minutes came Rolling Stone magazine Resists wide range of media came to cover the revival some favorably someone favorably some somewhat neutral so this photographer is there Jewish atheist and at the end of the services we were after the altar call calling people repent of sin turn to the Lord. Get right with God. We would then pray for people that want to prayer someone asked and you want prayer so he said okay and the Holy Spirit touched him dramatically and he fell to the ground and he began to cry out this true story friends Jesus Jesus Jesus, but I don't believe in Jesus Jesus Jesus, but I don't believe in Jesus, Jesus, and he got radically dramatically saved, and became a believer in Jesus and he he took a series of pictures I think they were from people touched and changed revival put them out was in a monochrome kind of like a black-and-white kind of look, whatever, but put this book out and in that one critical acclaim. True story. This is the kind of stuff that I was an eyewitness to for years.

Jesus dramatically changing lives you may be in a difficult situation in your own family right now you you may be in a situation where things seem hopeless in your own life is not hopeless. As long as Jesus is Lord and that will be forever. I encourage you keep praying for God to move powerfully and supernaturally in America in your life from family-run congregation.

Your prayers are not in vain. All right we go back to the phone's no we don't go there we go to Pleasantville Iowa.

What a nice sounding town. Becky walking to the line of fire. You're welcome our current contract by L.Brown creek and not the Bible. L.yeah obviously not obviously not in any title matters Bible powerful word of God, something yeah here's the thing. The word evangelical has become totally watered down. Totally watered down. The evangelicals were originally called fundamentalists and fundamentalists came from fundamentalism, not meaning that they were obscure, anti-intellectual, but rather that they held to the fundamental doctrines of the gospel they held to the fundamentals of the faith, and without question the authority of Scripture was at the heart of that now may be someone hearing that question is the Bible, the literal word of God. They may not understand exactly what that means for.

For example, let's say the Bible is using poetry do we understand that poetically. Yes, if the Bob's using for your speech to understand that in that sense, so we interpret it as it was intended. But to say it is not the authoritative infallible word of God. You can't call yourself an evangelical, but but Becky, the sad thing is that evangelicalism no longer means what it used to mean the term has been so watered down. So when you hear evangelical supporting a particular political candidate. In many cases these are people who don't go to church there. People who are non-Catholics and and not in the extreme liberal denominations.

So the word evangelical has almost entirely lost its meaning, and especially when you talk about a poet that I haven't seen that specific pole, but no you cannot truly be a follower of Jesus and deny the of the authority of the very word that tells us who he is. Thank you so much I appreciate the call.

Another reminder of how desperately the church needs revival 866-34-TRUTH 784. Listen, I am going to be taking calls for 90 minutes more. Right.

So even if you can keep listening on the radio just get on the phone. Hold on and I'll get your calls as soon as possible that I've got a very exciting announcement to make. The first time or make it now on the air less than one month from today.

My brand-new book, the grace controversy comes out answering 12 common questions about grace use. I have hyper grace is a similar it's similar but it's a totally new book 1st. It's a shorter read than hyper grace. It's a much easier read than hyper grace and I'm not quoting others in this book, but more importantly throughout the book I am going out of my way I'm going out of my way to ground the reader in the glorious grace of God and at the same time to separate the reader from errors and extremes and false teachings. You'll find it super practical. Whether you are brand-new follower of Jesus, will you been following him 34 years with your concerned about the errors of hyper grace. You'll find it super practical upbuilding, edifying, informative and full of Scripture. Now here's what were doing. We we often do this with a brand-new book.

This is done one time and one time only in the history of the book as soon as we get the books. The first hundred or 200 or 300. Whatever it is we number them right and then I put a Scripture reference in and sign them to you and if you if you order today, you'll be higher on the list first want to order number one Dallas assigned number preorder copy just $20 postage paid, so it's a collectors item. All right, but here's how you get it. Only $20 postage paid call 1-800-278-9978 or go to ask Dr. Brown the Lord to order today. 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 back to 15866788. I'm sharing revival. Testimonies with you on the air to encourage your faith to pray for your family to pray for breakthroughs in your life in church and community. Pray for national revival and take your calls on any questions you have. You got questions, we've got doctrines. Brian writes my doctrine was impacted by the Brown goal pay a critic look at that what a shame. Here's the interesting thing. People who weren't there people who weren't there, they they would often attack from a distance because they had no clue what was going on. Those who went to transform beware of the miss information.

Let's just see here, while testimony 20 years ago, 1997 of drowsily drove all night on the bus around 14 hours they that that's the hunger and thirst. As soon as I stepped off the bus around 9:30 AM. It was like I stepped into a river and I had an encounter right there in the parking lot so this is the parking lot outside the building to get online Stan online all day to get into the meetings of she's talks about being overwhelmed, overflowing, weeping and laughing with choices that have never been the same since that day almost 20 years ago I was delivered and set free. While is not something is not something that's that's the power of God to change lives, 866-34-TRUTH I we go to is it eyeliner a ledge Virginia and Sharon Wilkins Lionheart Aylett all right, thank you. Like I can't mark on. Currently, the Christian dating a Mormon girl in my heart and I've talked to him and expressed her pleasure and warned him about that.

He claimed that she loved Jesus prayed a moral person and I yesterday invited her to a church service. She enjoyed now we want to invite her to her home this week the ball and we want to talk about this relationship and my question is how do we delicately express our convictions regarding our son dating her and Mormonism and yet keep the door open for a relationship with the Lord just what kind of quandary, but like yeah I yes thank you for sharing that Sharon.

How old is your son. 28 if turn 21 and and the girl older only 23 years now. I is she out of her as she out of her parents house and still living with now. She dealt with okay and they committed Mormons. The parents are. I understand.

Right now the fact she went to service within that's positive and there are many Mormons oolitic to say this wisdom is dangerous and the right, the right way to do it is that he get some other gals in the church that know her, who befriended her and they leader to the Lord that she's a genuine convert then he starts relationship with her. So that's I I share your concerns wholeheartedly.

That being said, that being said I would start here since he is in a relationship and you can subtly force him and you can share strong concern on which relationship is with your somebodies is young, manner, and I yeah okay so she may be a nominal Mormon that doesn't really understand Mormon doctrine, or she may be more committed Mormons, but knows there is nothing common we can, talk the same language, but what I would do is is this I would, I would sit them down and say okay listen we actually do not believe that Mormons follow the same faith that we do we reject the book of Mormon as as authoritative scripture that hang on Ira apologize of got a break stay right there and I'll be right back to light a fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 86.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown. Looking back to the line of fire, 8663 for 87884 dispersing some wonderful testimonies of change lives in revival dispersing those with your calls, got questions, we've got answers 866-34-TRUTH 7884 assault back to Sharon just for� Just tuning in Sharon son is been dating Mormon gal he's 21. She's about 23.

She claims to love Jesus and sense of safety as a moral person. She attended the service with him this past weekend and said she liked it.

Now mom and dad again to meet with son and this Mormon girl together so Sharon, what I would encourage you to do is say to her, listen.

The Bible is very clear about not being unequally yoked. And if you're to have a relationship with our son. That means you going to have to give up being a Mormon going to have to give up the book of Mormon and just base your faith on Scripture is just what I could never do that. Then she say okay this is different faith, like for example if if you know you were Southern Baptist and now you're going to a different Baptist Church and now you meet someone. It's like a look and after the same church thing.

I handle back notes within the same family right or you know we were Lutheran, but there were Boykin Lutherans an hour and a brilliant Presbyterian Church but were you were five okay were still within the same family of faith.

Even if the some adjustment to make. But fear it would be radical of now that would be something obviously if your son can't agree to that then then he is a deeper problem.

He's more interested in her than the Lord every right so that can very politely be put out. Hey listen that that means appealing to family and lots of difficulties are you are both of you. There is no just put on her you know or both of you that's serious about working this through together in a is he gonna stand with her as she goes to family tension, etc. and is she willing to say hey I'm I I want to follow will. She said I want to follow what's ever written in the Bible, even if it means that that that will be a Mormon anymore that I'll just be a Christian. Now here's the other thing to say hey would you be willing to watch where Christian leader debates a Mormon and maybe one night we'll just have a nicely get together will sit around the computer and will watch a debate and I would recommend my friend Dr. James White has done many debates with Mormons there readily available on YouTube. And if you just a search for James White and then Mormon debate you'll find a number of them and say hey how about if it is we all watch this together because obviously you have two things in mind to your son's well-being that he doesn't get trapped and fall away from the Lord or compromise or end up marrying a Mormon and then they have all kinds of problems going forward and and you have this young lady involved. Maybe the steps is taken have been the best.

But perhaps the Lord will still use this to bring her to himself right so you don't want to absolutely close the door, though it's make her swear on the Bible right then and there, but she has to understand its if if she's gonna marry your son. She can't be a Mormon is going to follow the Bible.

She can't be a Mormon and she might have to sue I don't agree with that or that's very heavy okay will. Let's think about it, and then the next step is.

Hey, we watch a debate together or maybe just the two of them watch for and discuss it and then let's bring everything up to the surface. If she's committed to staying Mormon then your son has drills okay this is I can work this unequally yoked and it's going to bring all kinds of havoc in our family and think down the line. What about the children bring to the world. Everything else notes being unequally acquitted with an unbeliever, and in that sense it would be, although not as outwardly extreme, like buying a Muslim or marrying a Hindu marrying atheist you're going to have these massive conflicts so heat he would have to cross that that that road and recognize what's going on out here. Our prayer why you are very welcome in the Lord's grace be there. May God let afresh find your son and may he say this young woman all right, but I 86634 in Queens, New York. In Houston, Texas. Barbara welcome to light a fire of the Barbara hello and clean our now have Vanessa Queens, New York. The caller wasn't there that I seduced in Texas with you, but you did it anyway. You are the right, Barbara. You are in the right used in the rice Texas Uber good okay Dr. Brown thank I would like now land there are not you think and please explain your answer and the Supreme Court can and Lauren. The tactic which struck down the line if that was correct because I like correct that line opened the door for gay marriage can be considered competition off, but if it lies crap correct man, how far government no in regulating sexual behavior.

Great questions. It was absolutely incorrect. There is no constitutional right for sodomy. There's no way you can read the Constitution and conclude that there was a right for sodomy. The founding fathers would've found that more than repulsive to put it mildly, and justice. Glia warned about. In fact, there is a video getting a lot of attention on our YouTube channel so folks if you go to asked Dr. Brown a SK DR Brown on YouTube then just outside search for justice glia or just glia II read some of his prophetic warnings. He warned that if you do this now you gonna find rights for all kinds of other things including homosexual quote marriage so it was a wrong decision. There is no constitutional right for sodomy.

And yes, unfortunately, it opens the door wide to redefining marriage now we go one step further. How far does the government go.

This was not something that was being enforced. From what we know this was a set up by gay activists to get a case to go to the courts.

In other words, the police were called Ike I can't prove this, but it's a it's what I've read from reliable sources that it was a set up that a call was made to police innocent domestic violence. They show up and there reportedly saying all this there there. I'll try to say it is a school time. Parents picking up kids there to man not wearing close doing things they shouldn't be doing okay just say that in front of the police eyes so they have no choice, basically, but to arrest them based on the law and that's what then ended up with Lawrence. The Texas this was now the case, the reality is, it was on the books as as a barrier. It was on the books. Still, as something stopping the onslaught of things like redefining marriage and finding rights for all kinds of behaviors but it wasn't enforced. No one is going into private houses and bedrooms and see what people are doing. If there is abuse of a child or something like that were incestuous rape.

Obviously that should be reported to the police, but otherwise no one is going into people's homes and policing with their privately doing in their bedrooms, so this was not enforced, but it should have stayed on the books, just like in Singapore. They recently ruled to do that to keep that law on the books, not so much to enforce it. But as a barrier for these other things happening. And tragically, what justice glia warned about is unfolding right in front of her eyes so their lives like I can dial three. I the only way that there should be laws against adultery in the store and some states I think the only way.

There should be laws against adultery is if America as a nation got to such a relationship with God and a high morality that something like that would actually be considered a crime because of the national consensus on family morals and look in the early American history with the colonies. I mean they were these devoutly Christian colonies and of course something like adultery was against the law and everyone was expected to be in church and things like that but it's a whole different world. So the only the only way that you would have some of these laws on an answer. I think some are still on the books in some states, but the only way you'd have them reinstated in society would be if things got to the point of morality in America where the national consensus was that these things are crimes.

But as for sodomy by being constitutionally just isn't. It isn't the justices is a 630 think they found it without basis. Therefore that law should still be there even if not enforced will be back in the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown happens when the Holy Spirit dramatically touched the never be the same again. Friends don't lose heart. Praying for revival in America don't lose heart, praying for the impossible to happen.

I've seen the impossible happen so many times in my own life and the lives of others. We serve a God with whom nothing is impossible for those who believe here's a note from Mike wife and I were there at the world revival conference this past weekend, God restored us. He opened my eyes once again, the hunger for God has radically increased teaches Dr. Brown phenomenal give us an increasing thirst for salvation for land, as well as his real the outpouring crying out of God's people this past week and humbled me. I don't think I'll ever be the same.

God bless you and God bless Israel you say I am just this past week, and that's what we hear from the critics during the browse revival yeah that's just a week ago. Yeah, that's just a month ago when you say five years down the line when you see tend to save tenderest online what you say when some of the people dramatically saved in the revival dramatically transformed in the revival dramatically set free by the revival all to the glory of God.

All through the preaching of Jesus and the word of God. What you say when those people who dramatically transformed have now been serving effectively on the mission field for over 15 years and have spiritual sons and daughters on the mission field who love the Lord who love the word who are living godly lives or reaching the lost or touching the poor. What you say. Well I give another hundred cut Kaman at what point do you have to stop and say glory to God.

That was the Lord see here's the thing. Here's the thing emotionless and can work things off for little while but cannot produce lasting fruit and the flash gives birth to flesh it cannot give birth to spiritual fruit and the devil will not produce long-term good spiritual fruit he can counter for things counterfeit miracles and prophecies in things that tepidly lead to destruction Satan will cast out Satan right so if someone is dramatically touched in the meeting but the meeting is different than you're used to.

The musics different the preachings different. The close that we are all dressed up to not trust up the way they do. The services people shaking what's going on up there. Seeing this, the shouting and crying their silent used to this, but someone claims to be dramatically touched may be a longtime drug addict gets dramatically born-again and now as a result of that loves Jesus the Jesus of the Scriptures, the virgin born son of God, the Word made flesh, the divine, eternal one died for sins and rose from the dead that that he gets dramatically touched in love with Jesus devouring the word of God.

God's infallible word I and and and then and then beyond that. Beyond that, he knows a hunger for the lost. To reach the lost.

He's living a holy, godly life, who did Jesus ask the Holy Spirit that's the Holy Spirit.

If it happens to lots and lots of people in those meetings over period of years. That's the work of the Holy Spirit. That's what happens in revival, 866-34-TRUTH we go back to the phones in the Bronx. Ruth, welcome to the line of fire. Thank you for taking my call. Thank Brown I need clarity on on the necessity of Christian to their Passover now and before I go any further I just want to say that I practice my thing.

I think that the Jewish people are required. I know what their Passover and I strongly believe that Christians should know the breakthrough after now that we have a better covenant. Why do Gentile Christians have to their path (the New Testament I find yet it's a good nuanced question was thinking, there's only 1 Possible Pl. where you could get this idea, but let me say I do not believe that Gentile Christians are required to observe the Passover right once it is plainly as I can't. Yes we should recognize that Passover and Easter ritually one saying that that we celebrate his Easter now as Christians was originally part of Passover, which we celebrate his Jews and I believe it would be best for the churches to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus during the Passover season, as opposed to having something separate called Easter is my personal view and a lot can be learned from the Passover and even as it developed in Jewish history and tradition. But no, I do not see any command to observe the Passover or the rest of the holy days for Gentile Christians in the New Testament.

The only place you can make the case. Ruth is first Corinthians 5. There Paul writes to the Corinthian believers and is giving them a practical exhortation and he's telling them how a little leaven leavens the whole lump right and and he wants them to to not be playing games with with the sexual sin that's that's a in their midst and he says this of first Corinthians chapter 5 he says this cleanout of verse seven cleanout the old yeast so that you may be a new batch. You are indeed unleavened for Christ, our Passover has been sacrificed. Minimus IR Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore, let us observe the feast, not with old yeast or the yeast of malice and evil but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. Now, some have argued that he is actually telling the Corinthians Gentile believers.

There observe the feast of Passover, but when I understand because of the metaphorical language about leavening bread when I understand is he's presupposing that they knew about this so they certainly their Jewish roots by the Corinthians were in the synagogue first wanted to know more about the God of Israel, and that's how they they heard Paul preaching in the synagogue so that's that's number one. But number two.

It seems he speaking metaphorically, he seems he said it seems he speaking spiritually he's saying. Observe the feast, not with the old yeast with yeast of mouse legal with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. The Lord's, it's not so much getting rid of physical leaven, but get rid of the leaven of sin and live out a life with sincerity and truth, so we saying keep the spirit of the feast, as opposed to commanding Christians to celebrate Passover. That's how I would understand that Ruth, one of their short foot washing is better requirement today. Certainly not a requirement. John 13 you Jesus, I have set an example for you the spirit of it serving one another absolutely is something were called to do loving one another called to do and there are churches that it's a ritual that you had God blessed me say this though there been times we've engaged in it may be with people will try to reconcile with or or or washing the feet of of Christians in India that were going into dangerous territory could be martyred have the powerful symbolist incredible times of ever having weeping before the Lord and barriers coming down and reconciliation coming in and people being misattributed. Certainly not a command. Thank you for the questions. All right I will continue this for one more hour at Normandy to be next in the new hour but stay right there and the rest of the broadcast. You can catch a test Dr. Brown ask ADR Brown.org.

My bottom line today.

Jesus really dramatically supernaturally powerfully transforms lives and when he does it. It lasts all yes we pray for awakening revival on a national level but you know what happens to an individual when they encountered God in a radical way they are changed for life stage for the line of fire with your host activist and author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH. That's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown for everyone listening all the state of North Carolina. Gottesman up dates for you and things will get your holy blood boiling.

But I'll encourage you pray and take them to the Lord. I've got great news for everybody across America. Listening right now even across the world in terms of the Holy Spirit continues to do today lives being dramatically changed by the Lord and since only took email questions on Friday. I open the phone lines. That's great because the first hour that we continue you've got questions, we've got answers any question you want to ask me of any kind, as long as it's appropriate for Christian radio. Give me a call 866-348-7884.

Any question of any kind slows is appropriate to ask it on Christian radio. Whether you're free to call Landon and agree with me or disagree with me or ask a question assignment one about in Scripture or elsewhere. It will be my joy to take your calls and through the show. I'm going to be encouraging you with great testimonies of things I've witnessed with my own eyes. In the midst of revival 11 young lady both said I guess the 30s now, but when the when I met her she was just I will maybe 16 years old. She called in, probably last week and very first service I was in Pensacola for them it's the Browns revival in May late May 1996 that's that's when my attention was drawn to her by my late departed dear departed friend of Steve Hill pointer and said that's Methodist gaga touched her a few weeks ago and she's this complacent compromise worldly kid. No churchgoing family but not walking with the Lord and I remember just that the joy of the Lord that was on her face. The experience of God's presence in her life deeply touched me. So how God was working in her and was one of the signs were things I saw on the okay this is this the real deal. Mrs. this is Gabor. I was one of many many things well you know she calls us this 20 years ago. Fires are still burning in her and her husband now and in her kids know it's it's it's real it's it's a lasting thing. It's not just an emotional temporary high. We don't need that.

As were praying for awakening in America understand that that means radical upheaval understand that means people been a church for for 30 years. Suddenly understand who Jesus is and suddenly have a radical term, it means that couples that a bit on the edge of divorce and lies falling apart. They been to counseling and nothing seems to work, they encounter the Lord with the rest of the lies happily married. That's what were praying for us. We pray for awakening in revival in America. Friends such as out there.

It's in the church is in fact will first see it affecting church people as we pray for awakening revival will first see it affecting those who are in church were hearing the message, and then after that will begin to see it spirit backslider start to come back and the loss start to get touched and on and on it goes all right 8663 foray 780 from you to give you some specific examples and all right to do it enough time for question. Now, the moment we come back and go straight to the phone. So you've got questions, we've got answers.

I know it's Monday though think it's Friday. It's Monday because I couldn't take any calls on Friday.

Try to make up for it today all.

And speaking of make up, how about this headline, Fox news you can't make it up UN names Democratic Israel else world's top human rights violator more of the insanity of anti-Semitism right in front of our eyes. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown. Your voice is more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown was on Fox and friends Brian kill me a few days back. There was March 31 reports we talked about that on the air will now Minnesota Gov. Minnesota Gov. has banned is for state employees.

All non-essential state travel to North Carolina overcoat anti-LGBT laws because the state is said that we don't want a man in the women's locker room bathroom. Minnesota is going to ban nonessential state travel North Carolina.

All we need is for Northglenn to stand strong. 510 other states start stand strong and and put this nonsense when end 866-34-TRUTH for truth we go to Norman and Val, Mount Vernon, New York. Thanks so much for holding over from the last hour. Welcome to the line of fire called right away. You and your born-again everyone right yes or I was born, I died. So what month were you born on August August on so you are a few, a few months older and naturally that I am spiritually but I'm a lot older than you.

Naturally, I was looking online, article I read the fine art yeah and I just wanted about the terms of eschatology what your trip picture. Yes, this is a limitless is this first Norman I am post-trip.

However, I just want to explain that not everyone believes in the same sequence of the seven year tribulation village there many Christians who believe that from the time Jesus died on the cross to the end of the age. That's the tribulation period that we've always been in tribulation, so there many different interpretations.

But for those who hold to a a seven year tribulation. Or some time frame of intense end time tribulation.

I am quite convinced by Scripture that we will be here through that From God's wrath in the midst of it, and protected by him, and yet in the midst of all hell breaking loose with the hatred of man and the hatred of Satan. God moving mightily. Satan moving mightily right until the Lord returns, and when he returns, trumpet blasts, the shofar blasts like lightning. The whole world.

Seeing him. We also seeing him.

We are caught up to meet him and then we descend to earth together with him as he destroys the wicked and establishes his kingdom on the earth. And Jesus did tell us if you remember in John 1633 in this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I've overcome the world.

So he didn't guarantee us, there would be tribulation and be testing there be pressure, but he has overcome so in him. We also overcome. I have many friends that hold to pretrip rapture. I've worked with them over the years in different countries.

In America it's never been an issue for us.

In fact, to be honest with you Norman, their folks of work with for over 20 years and I don't know what they believe about pretrip' never discussed it and it's never effective ministry of because we we all were doing is winning the lost and making disciples of believers and strengthening and training and equipping believers and things like that so it just hasn't come up, but I was saved in a church that held her pretrip rapture and after number of years. It dawned on me that I learned that through books, not through the Bible. Just reading the Bible alone. I didn't see it I so the opposite, so I haven't held to that for these many years, all right. I not sure if Norman lost the connection here just listening and reflecting.

But thank you sir for the call 8663 freight 7884. Now you might say that's an urgently important matter. That's an urgently important matter and we must decide what we believe on that because if Jesus is coming any minute that we need to be ready will hang on the set mean being anymore ready than ready to meet the Lord of followers to die. No same thing right okay what should always be ready to meet the Lord as we shouldn't say you know what I was sent from months and hope I don't die during that month, as I would hate to die while living in sin a lot.

I'll just gonna live as if God doesn't exist today in hope that I don't died all who lives like that that loves the Lord so Emily fall short in the we asked for forgiveness and tendency to move forward and he's a gracious God that we don't abuse that so yeah so is living readiness to be with the Lord you civil okay then the opposite. What if he's not gonna rapture us and we may be here through THE tribulation right great question, but consider this, consider this number 11. You don't know the truth to be that that last generation right no generation yet has been the last generation so it may not even be relevant. What's relevant how you live today can serve God today can make a difference today. Can you can you stand for what's right today. Can you endure pressure in the workplace today and if persecution arises when you stand strong.

That's a bigger issue but yes we should be standing strong for the gospel, 866-34-TRUTH.

The number call Richmond Virginia Carey welcome to the line of fire drill quick� But you announced a while back about 30,000 characters. Repentant website you gave is unity crack.for United try United try you have any edits it still on, how many pastors will be there. I will actually be bringing a a four minute video message is supposed to to being there in person but yet it still scheduled go to United cry.org it is four days 17 hours and 45 minutes away. United cry.org. It will give you all the information at night. It's the ninth.

It's this it's this Saturday and the time of it is all listed calling on pastors to gather, pray and repent for our nation 9 AM till 4 PM at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC at the same time a massive stadium in California.

My friend Lou Engle will be leading a solemn assembly and a prayer gathering. They are so the both have been the same day, California and DC, but the website United cry.org hope you can be there carry God blessed. All right, let's go to Winston-Salem. Kim walking to the line of fire. Dr. Brown your reign of Christ. Ifyou doing it right now we are saved by grace through great but now been appreciated on a regular basis.

It was great constantly so good about that you spent a lot while they hereafter believe in him every day that you know it's an interesting question. So here here's here's the deal. We only have one reference one specific reference to this thousand year reign as a thousand years, and that's Revelation the 20th chapter. Otherwise we have to do is look at other passages like Isaiah to in Isaiah 11. Other passages like that which say that that God will rule and reign that the kingdom of God will be established on the earth that that the teaching of the Lord will go forth from Jerusalem to the nations, and so on, and that the nations will come streaming to the house of the Lord.

So it doesn't tell us in detail what things are going to be like.

But could it be that you, as you say Jesus is right there ruling and raining and whether everyone actually gets to see him.

The fact is the good knowledge of the glory of the Lord fills the earth as the waters cover the seas and it seems to be a time of universal knowledge of God and yet at the end people are given a choice, and it seems that many choose to rebel and follow Satan who according Revelation 20 is released from bottomless pits and whatever these things mean and literal terms was a little bottomless pit or what is telling us that this could be the opportunity to follow the devil at the end of that time. So Kim, here's the only thing I can say that's clear is that at the and of the millennial kingdom with the presence of God filling the earth with a world ruled by God. So a world in which the be perfect justice and goodness carried out on the earth within a human limitation justice and goodness carried out at the end of that people will be given a choice, will you have God as your Lord, will you serve the devil and many will serve the devil. Beyond that died in the millennial kingdom. The Scripture doesn't address explicit. Thank you sir. It's the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown combat modifier 887884 is number call. I know it's Monday, but you've got questions, we've got answers so we are we are making up for Friday were only answered your email questions, but I'm also sharing some some testimonies. I'm sharing some wonderful stories things eyewitness people that I know sharing things with you the God's done revival because we recognize America needs revival. America needs awakening in the begins in the church. Awakening is for the culture as a whole.

Revival begins with the church so we have a team in the Philippines between men, women and children about 50 people serving there for years now and just didn't think of some examples. One of the one of the brothers involved in the team there was was a heavy drinking loss center binge drinking alcoholic. No, not a daily alcoholic with binge drinking alcoholic and he comes to Brownsville during the browser revival comes to Pensacola for little community called Brownsville not Brownsville Texas comes there and lost guy. Heavy drinker goes on a Tuesday night to the prayer meeting and in the prayer meeting is dramatically touched by God and is born again in the prayer meeting the presence of God.

So DPs convicted of his sin and cries out for salvation. That is, here's the preaching during the week in response to the altar: but maybe more formal way to surrender his life to the Lord and transformed with his family now serving for years in the Philippines.

They suffered a loss that no parent ever wants to suffer the they lost the got a bunch of kids, but they lost little boy precious little boy and and as we are in the hospital praying for his healing.

Is this about two years old. His wife is also the hospital about to deliver babies about trauma they they now you know the minister to specially among other things, little children, children orphaned children. It was sold in the sex trade sex slavery and things like that they been Philippines for years. Another one of her team members in the Philippines. Team leaders. He was a youth leader but addicted to pornography. Living a hypocritical life shared his knee publicly for help and obviously couldn't be ministering in that capacity came to the revival and was dramatically changed and set free and never went back to his old ways. Now he and his family serving dynamically powerfully in the Philippines and leading our school of ministry there.

I'm telling you when when God is really moving Liza changes to what we see that more church because we need fresh visitation. We need fresh visitation were not seeing the results of Scripture were or not seeing what God promised from a Nazi regards done in the past that you get us praying old God worship power where's your fire, start the work in the 86634 Gerald and King North Carolina. Thanks for joining us. Thank you very much to question make a comment you referenced about the millennial kingdom act only in Revelation 20 MI?

The I would.

I said I said it's only a thousand years is only reference their it's described profits but the files are unanimous. That's only on my 20 okay while okay then that would be enough. Just a comment bottomless pit. It means there's no way in getting out yeah that's that. When I said whether it needs a little bottomless pit or the words you don't necessarily have to embrace all of the imagery is the book of revelations filled with imagery.

The Dragon is pink. You know, Satan is pictured as a dragon with seven heads and 10 horns shorts have to be his literal appearance. It might have an effect does it doesn't is unlikely if God made him you know it doesn't have to be a literal appearance so that was my only point is I'm thinking people list like what I believe there's a bottle just that Satan can't get out. Yes, he's bound and his notoriety can't get out.

Yeah exactly how I argue now that I don't think that's revival going on because pastors are prejob yet listen if if we are not, and thankfully, there are pockets. Regards, moving, and there are pastors who speak openly against sin and point to new life in Jesus. But you're absolutely right, sir. If we are not preaching against sin as Scripture does always with hope for transformation in Jesus and the promise of forgiveness at the cross. But if we are addressing sin, calling out people are not necessarily good be uncomfortable in their sin. The Holy Spirit convicts people in conjunction with the word of God for not bringing that word. The Holy Spirit will be moving on parts less will be less hunger to be less thirst and then let me tell you when God comes with revival fire you got no choice but to be preaching against sin ill because the fire of God is there and you just can't go on coasting an easy breezy life, but with it comes transformation of theirs before go back to the phones. There is discussion that just took place a Chris Cuomo and Peter Sprague so Chris Cuomo liberal TV host and Peter Sprague, conservative Christian leader from the family research Council and their discussing the the bathroom. Bill there discussing whether North Carolina was right in saying that that biological males can't going to the.

The ladies restroom and things like that and there's an interesting exchange at the end because spring say look this opens the door for heterosexual predators to go into the there in the rooms.

The locker rooms. The bathrooms and this is happened is documented. This happened not want some in the number of times as often as I can increase so Peter says this the transgender people created the problem by pretending to be the opposite of their actual biological sex even when people can see that they are their biological sex. Chris Cuomo says see, but that's the pretending part though Peter right because that's the concern your sender pretending they are sent are not pretending this is part of cultural evolution similar to embrace that Sprague says I am unwilling to embrace that in most of the American public is unwilling to embrace the did the people's inner feelings somehow trump the objective reality of their biological reality of their bodies. It is very much a worldview issue and it's one where the American public is not on the side of the transgender movement now when Chris heard the word pretending he probably took it to mean that they are making believe that they have these feelings, they are making believe I just I've got a feel like a woman today on the command am just know I don't believe that there just may get us some more summer just in a mentally unstable and summer thing. And hey, this no young person is cool as all get the rebel and push back against the system.

I've read accounts like that, but the vast majority of cases, people who are truly troubled who truly think that there men and women's bodies. Women and men's bodies were little children feel that way. They're not pretending to have their feelings but Peter springs aptly right when a Amy Bruce Jenner is pretending to be a woman.

He is not a woman. Despite Glamour magazine naming more of the she is still not a woman follow.

In that sense he is pretending to be a woman and I say this, everyone who is a biologically comes only male or female and believes they are the opposite.

They obviously have a mental emotional issue. Of course that's within you the help on the inside of the outside 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 664 through here again is Dr. Michael Brown and I'm sitting here with my eyes cured of senates on Friday night in Kansas City. It will revival church and wept in the presence of God. That's that's one of the songs with special memories to me. The words I love words are powerful with special memories is to to what I saw what I experienced with the place and the Browns will revival the lives that were dramatically touched and were never the same again.

Sometimes were so used to powerless religion sometimes were so use to our best efforts, you try try try to get people say try try try to get them discipled and look. Sometimes the stony ground in the hearts, our hearts are horrid in their battles and people struggle. I understand that I understand, but when the Holy Spirit truly moving powerfully people get dramatically converted when the Holy Spirit truly moving powerfully. Bondage is good. Suddenly broken. I can tell you how many people I heard from who were dramatically touched in years. I was in Pensacola than in the revivals 96 to 2000 and in over five year period started to froze there for five year. About 3 million people. Cumulative cumulatively came through the building and probably at least 300,000 different people respond to the off coast as a database was captive of the individual names and it was, I believe, over 300,000 individual names, many of them first-time converts but I can't say how many heard from that that had been long-term drug addicts or long-term point addicts or or long term bound by alcohol or some terrible fears whenever it was, and they were dramatically set free and then some of them don't. Through the years and some will hear from 510, 20 years later all run into them all run into them check into a hotel all run into them preaching on the road they'll come up to the big smile and say hey this would happen then I'm and I'm in the ministry. Now I'm doing this, lasting fruit when the Holy Spirit moves. Keep praying for awakening in America. Keep praying for revival in the church. It is what we must have. It is our great hope 866-34-TRUTH 7884 because Friday I only trigger email questions I'm opening the phones today.

You've got questions. We got answers to the Provo Utah rose we were going to Provo. Let's go to Sam and Winston-Salem North Carolina.

Thanks for calling the line of fire around all question I was talking to a friend of mine every weekend. Not a Christian. We are discussing salvation and Christianity. He asked me why hail is mentioned in the Old Testament. I didn't know how to answer the underfunded kind of stuck things, but that's all right yes I said and yells course, when you: don't be unspeakable, but thankfully Sam. It worked out.

We could hear you.

Okay, so the answer to the question very very simple.

God revealed things more in the New Testament than the Old Testament of Paul wrote to Timothy that Jesus brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. So we have more insight and understanding of the hidden things of the unseen things of the behind the scenes things we have more understanding through the New Testament. That being said, eternal punishment is mentioned in the Old Testament in Daniel chapter 12 verse two. Many who sleep in the dust of the earth will arise some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. So hell in the sense of full revelation of the New Testament lake of fire is not spelled out. The Old Testament for the destruction of the wicked is an then eternal punishment also is in Daniel 12 file line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the minor fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown. Looking back at 86687884 hey Johnny grab our last clip with Gov. McCrory. What you hear if you live in North Carolina what Gov. McCrory said with all the attack that North Carolina is coming under so for 336 business leaders within North Carolina have said that they are glad Gov. McCrory choose me and the state legislature overturned the Charlotte bathroom bill that's common sense its public safety. Of course it's the right thing to do and from everything we're hearing the overwhelming majority of people in North Carolina are pleased and we need to stand up to the bullies is a you but all these companies.

One company after another after another after another.

They're all coming extra is the human rights campaign work towards gay activist organization goes to these companies or has is inroads with these companies relationship with these companies is a bad bill for the following reasons. Let North Carolina know you're guessing your rights campaign fact comes out with the list are all the company stand against and we've had legislators say I called ahead of the company and I said okay. What's your problem with the bill. So we have read their exactly exactly. So listen to what Gov. McCrory had Sam Fox and friends could number six is North Carolina legislature overturned a Charlotte city ordinance which required all businesses to demand that if you're a man and you want to use a woman's restroom or shower or locker room facility may can and the state legislature very similar to the people of the Houston Texas reject that and say it's up to businesses to make a determination not not government and universities are high schools.

Also, we firmly believe man and you have the anatomy of a man you should restroom shower is basic common sense its etiquette of privacy that we've had for decades, and it's amazing that the national politically correct police in the Senate upon my state and unfairly smeared my state while Syracuse University is playing in the final four against the Carolina Tar Heels in Houston Texas city which rejected the exact same ordinance by 61% of the vote.

Just five months ago by the people of Houston and there are no protest from boycotts of the Houston Texans during the final four basketball tournament.

Nor there should should there be so none of these corporations are now criticizing writer a lot of their audit of the advertising during the NCAA championship and and there's a lot of political and media elite hypocrisy about his exactly exactly.

Well said Gov. Cory 86634 Angela in Queens New York. Thanks for calling the line of fire down here. How about 335. You don't think that there can be like to check in canonic cocktail and faulty napping and doing 25.

Of course, is conditional. Of course we have to humble ourselves. Of course we have to cry out. Of course we have to repent.

Of course we have to turn from sin in our lives.

Of course we have to ask God for mercy. Yes, that's why I'm encouraging people and have for decades to cry out to humble ourselves to seek the Lord turn from sin our lives.

The thing is when God begins to move powerfully when the Holy Spirit is now being poured out in revival now. It affects air every body else it affects everybody else because they too can now benefit it. It's like you open a geyser of spiritual life and it floods out and touch his people not everyone can drink from it, and benefit from it reflecting about gagging Catholic Church on the line don't keep it but I don't think an electronic talking about. They don't know they bank had not practicing huge acuity from bike rack for Gary at the intertwining of the actual electric about 53 KK not been even made nobody about. Yeah, well they are being taught on Angela in in some circles of their not being taught on enough not being taught on enough where we really understand Romans 12 the different graces that people have be it to give or to serve or to lead or to prophesy these manifestations of God's gracious spirit in our lives mentioned in first Corinthians 12, which include gifts of healing and faith miracles tongues interpretation their true reasons for that there there there are two reasons. One is one is that a people don't believe there for today, but we certainly believe that giving is for today and serving as for today, leaving as for today why those graces there and not the others, then the other thing is, even if we do believe they are there. They wheat we often underemphasized them. Maybe we just, rather do things in our own strength or we don't really understand the gifts enough so we don't teach on them but we don't see more because we don't teach on these things more and believe God for these things more and see more examples of them taking place right 86634 shoot let's go over to Hopewell Virginia Clarence walking to want to fire hi Dr. Brown just one encouraging.

Thank you for the work you're doing and also to Richard now that they wheat we are wrong money and in our church surfing ministry from Bank of America because they will honor the group currently there that when a gift box, and and have you explain to them as your pulling the accounts while you're doing it. Yes we did it we wrote them a letter to our nano very clearly that we was. We would this. With that there decision will God bless you for taking a stand and certainly at the right time. We do want to send messages on the one hand we want to send messages to companies. Please stay neutral on the culture wars.

Please don't be the ones that that are making our wives and art are children in bathrooms and locker rooms uncomfortable.

Please don't open the door to heterosexual predators.

A please don't impose the struggles of a few on everyone else. Please stay neutral on these things and please don't attack, or religious liberties. It's a foundational right here in America and if they refuse, then Christians need to send messages and a class the day could come where we agree across the state or across the nation. On this particular day we take our money out of this bank which is now a tool of of gay and transgender activism and imposing their ways and imposing their weight on others and we all at the same day. Let them know that because of their stance, we can't do business with them in good conscience will be contributing to it and we then work with another bank that is neutral on the culture wars reader that shares Christian values. So I appreciate your integrity in doing that.

And of course in Virginia, you know, stands have been taken against religious liberties by big corporations the same in Georgia of the pressure rises what we have to do is stand up together.

God bless you and I appreciate the integrity of your church and doing that sir very much.

Thank you.

You're welcome. God bless you, 8663 freight 7884 we go to Greensboro, North Carolina. Randy welcome to light a fire dark brown appreciate you letting the owner today that I a question about the grandmother of our statement. It is not listed here and share about that.

It was made in the program name and that the evidence that there was there was the real work of God right. Oh yeah last year. Lasting good spiritual fruit on a widespread basis can only be the result of a great moving of the Holy Spirit.

Human beings can't make it happen. Satan won't do it. You may get a temporary emotional change or a higher excitement, but long-term fruit that last months and years and decades, to the glory of God based on Scripture that has to be the work of God, not good to know what is a fellow broadcaster that had been critical of ground Bible I think for you to be respectful for him and everything that you disagree but the Bible answer God but yet and have Had had a graph and I became friends during the browser revival and I want to say anything else on his behalf because he's not here to say it but but but let me let me say this, the.

The simple way to test revise is really not hard in terms of figure 7 fax stay right there. Randy, I'll answer this on the other side of the break, and I also want to tell you what happened in the great awakening with Jonathan Edwards and his chief critic Charles Chauncey will be right back 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 right back to Randy North Carolina during the great awakening. There was a critic of the revival cultural structure there many critics I've often said that you can have controversy without revival, but you cannot have revival without controversy and Duncan Campbell, who is the noted leader in the Hebrides awakening the Hebrides revival Nike 49 to 1952, off the coast of Scotland. The Hebrides island. He affirmed with respect to Christian author Arthur Wallace broke but revival, namely that if something comes along and claims to be revival and is not spoken against. Check again to see if it's really revival so we tend to do is when there are modern awakening solution, the spirit, the critics demonize them and then they go back and read the old accounts and sanitize them without realizing that there was controversy back then as well. So in short, in short, Charles Chauncey looked at all of the aberrant things that happened the people that went off the deep end.

The unusual things that happened in meetings, the emotional displays the unusual physical responses, and so on. And he said the whole thing is not of God, he rejected it and historian Conrad Sherry pointed out that whereas Edwards focused on the wheat. There was a vast amount of wheat. Chauncey focused on the chaff. There was a small amount of chaff.

And that's what Chauncey focused on.

So what I often find with critics of revival is they will look at something and I'm not saying this, but Hank had a graph. In particular, make a general statement again Hank. I had good quality time discussing these things and and him with with good open hearts in good interaction and he did visit our school and he did visit the revival and he did get on public radio and apologize for things he said about me in the way it said things although still not change his overall stance of heat.

He did say that to his credit, but to say this. I've seen it time and time again with critics of revival.

We will say look, here are 100 reports documented of people who been radically dramatically changed, saved, lost sinners set free from drug set free from alcohol Satan coming out of his lawn coming out of this coming out of that wives transformed they now aren't solid Bible believers go through all the Orthodox points of faith.

They are solid Bible believers. They love Jesus deleting holy lives there winning the lost.

This is now one year.

This is now five years. This is not to however long you want and the Christmasy habits and was shaking that meeting was that I will see that the Bible or your own who were slain in the spring I'll see that in the Bible or, or, oh yeah. Why hurt someone that came in like the lost their mind what they'll do is the point to either the unusual or the actual aberration. What if I'm going to judge the ministry of Jesus by those that fell away laughing to judge the ministry of Jesus by what happened to Judas and and that was the error of the critics of every revival in the past and what's fascinating is that you don't know the names of the critics of the great awakening lesson mention them or the critics of the great Welsh revival lecture four 1905, we donate dear Peter Price, who was a leading pastor at that time of Peter Price said that that the Welsh revival was a blasphemous travesty of the real thing. So that's that's going to happen in the way you judge is real simple. Simple criteria in the meetings and in the fruit of someone's life is the Jesus of Scripture being exalted are people being drawn to the word and coming under the authority of the word of the turning from sin to holiness did in Alberta for the lost. If that sustained in someone's life.

That's work of the Holy Spirit. The devil will do it. The flesh can't do it when you see it happen in mass numbers. That's what you call revival. Her book to read about around the arrival that you recommend a sure thing to think Street there is a book by Steve Raby or ABE.
