Hi, this is Nikita Kolov, the Russian Nightmare, from the Man Up Podcast, where we explore men's and women's fascinating life stories that will challenge you to man up, because it's time. Your chosen Truth Network Podcast is starting in just a moment. Sit back, enjoy it, share it, but most of all, thank you for choosing the Truth Podcast Network. This is the Truth Network. Welcome to Truth Talk Live, a daily program powered by the Truth Network, where pop culture, current events, and theology all come together. And now, here's today's Truth Talk Live host. Welcome to Truth Talk Live.

I am Mark Anthony and for my good friend Stu Epperson. It's so great to be here. You know, it's Friday, so it's Founders Friday. You may not know me, but I have a show here on the Truth Network on Saturday at 3 p.m. It's called The Patriot and the Preacher, and we talk about the Founders a lot, and it may be the week after the 4th of July, but on my show, it's Independence Month.

In fact, I think that every day, we should be celebrating our independence and what we have, and so we're going to talk about the Founders. We do have three amazing guests, just to keep you with me, and so you know what's coming up. We have a pastor that many people have heard of, and he's done some amazing work. His name is Dave Scarlett, and Dave is going to join us, and he—well, here we go.

All for His Glory. This is his book, The Near-Death Experience of a Modern-Day Job. So he's going to join us to talk about his story and what he's doing to change the world around him. We also have a guest that, well, it's perfect timing.

And when we talk about 9-11, conjures up what happened to us on September 11th, but this book is Revelation 9-11, how the book of Revelation interacts with today's headlines, and boy does it ever right now. I think everybody can agree on that. So before our guests come up, since it's Founders Fridays, let's talk about them right now. There are so many of them out there. There were 56 of them, as a matter of fact, that accomplished the impossible. A lot of people say that they could have done that all by themselves, but let's think about this. If you brought 56 people together that had Type A personalities, could they have accomplished something so big?

Probably not, only because we all understand what a Type A personality is. But remember, most of these founders were under the age of 27, and most of them, at the end of this battle, died young and poor. They came back to find their homes in shambles. Their families were scattered everywhere, but they kept their word.

And that's the biggest part of the theme of them. See, each one of them did something to contribute, whether it was one of the merchants, Robert Morris, who actually financed the war on his own credit, whether it was Benjamin Franklin, that we all know him, but he did a lot. Not only was Benjamin Franklin part of the wisdom of that body, but Benjamin Franklin loaned the Revolutionary War $7 million in today's money before he went to France to lobby them so they could come and help us out, because our friend was England's enemy at the time, right, France? Now, all of us who are listening right now obviously believe in the Bible. We believe in the Bible because through faith. We also know that the Bible is historically correct. We also know that the Bible is written by firsthand witnesses, firsthand accounts of what they saw, what they saw Jesus do, the miracles they saw.

So then let's just fast forward to the founders. Imagine what they saw. They saw miracles all the time, from the beginning until the end, from the time that they decided to sign that declaration, which at that point in time when they put their name on that piece of paper, they were signing their own death warrants. But let's look at somebody that gives us insight to just how amazing, how amazing it is that all of us are here in the United States, the greatest country on earth. This quote comes from Benjamin Rush. He saw it from the beginning until the end. Listen to this. I do not believe the Constitution was the offspring of inspiration, but I am satisfied that it is as much of the work of divine providence as any of the miracles recorded in the Old and New Testament.

Imagine that. That's a pretty profound statement to make. And so those words just resonate with that for a minute.

He is telling us that we are as much of a miracle as any of the miracles that you have read in the Bible. And that is true because when you think about what they accomplished, the superpower of the world, that was a breakup letter to the King of England. And if you read that declaration, if you ever take the time and I encourage you to do that, you'll see that that list of grievances sound very familiar, almost ominous in many ways. So before we go to our first guest, I'm going to sprinkle some quotes in from these great founders.

Here's a couple before we go to our break. Here we go. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Thomas Jefferson. A constitution of government once changed from freedom can never, ever be restored. Liberty once lost is lost forever. So as you think about those quotes and think about what they're trying to say to us right now, remember one thing, John Adams, former president, one of the greatest founders out there said that our constitution was built for a moral and religious people.

Listen to this part. A government of any other is inadequate. And that perfectly describes where we're sitting right now. We have leaders in place that are not honoring that constitution, but most importantly, they are not honoring the God that the founders followed and the God that we worship right today, each and every day that we pray to.

And that pretty much encapsulates where we are today as a nation. And so we have a great guest joining us very shortly. Stay with us. Dave Scarlet has a lot to talk with us about what this nation's do, where this nation finds itself and what we need to do to make it a great nation once again.

So Dave Scarlet's going to join us. We're going to talk about the founders. Don't forget it's Founders Friday. There's a lot to talk about with them. And before we go, remember one thing, the greatest nation on earth is also the biggest church plant in the world.

The pilgrims came here and they are the ones that inspired the greatest founders, those 56 men that have accomplished the impossible. We're going to be back. Stay with us.

This is Truth Talk Live. I'm Marc Anthony in for Stu Epperson. We'll be right back.

Welcome back to the Truth Talk Live. I'm Marc Anthony in for Stu Epperson. It's great to have everybody with us and we're going to be taking calls later on this hour. But in the meantime, we have a very special guest joining us, Pastor Dave Scarlet. Dave, are you with us?

Hi, I'm Marc. Thank you for having me. Thank you so much for coming on, Dave. It's really a, it's an honor to have you on and you're going to be on my show later on the later on next week.

But thanks for coming on at such short notice. Dave, right now, as we all know, as we're witnessing what's happening in this country and one of the things that I want to touch on really quick, first of all, is this, Dave, and I know you have a lot to say about this. We have churches and pastors out there that have become woke. They are not preaching the gospel. They're allowing the world to come into the church and change the church.

So talk to us about that, first of all. Well, yeah, we have to stick to the gospel of Jesus Christ and speak the truth. There are too many pastors and churches today that are getting away from the word of God. And, you know, the Lord has told us to love him with all our heart, our soul, and our mind.

And to love him is to be obedient to all his commandments. And we're not speaking up for the truth. And it's the remnant that is doing that standing up for truth. And we need the remnant to rise for such a time as this. Amen.

Amen. So, Dave, you have a story to share with the listeners that is, I think, going to touch everybody. Your life was transformed by God. You're a former Marine, never an ex-Marine.

Talk to the listeners about what happened to you. Yeah, so I was a Marine. I gave up a Division I football scholarship to go in the Marines because of my grandfather, who was a fighter pilot in the Marine Corps. I rose the ranks to corporate America as a director at AT&T, full of money, full of ego, full of pride.

I had a situation with my marriage that my wife had an affair and had a baby with that situation. At that point in time, I could have ran, but I doubled down and got on my knees and sought the Lord. I didn't know the Lord very well.

I was a 9-1-1 Christian, barely getting through it, only pray when you get in trouble. So I got to know the Lord. And then it's a good thing I got to know the Lord because just not too long after that, on 7-7-7, the seventh day of the seventh month, the seventh year, I ate a chili that was with botulism toxin. And a long story short, it took me completely down my immune system. I was rushed to the Cleveland Clinic.

I died three times, had two near-death experiences. The Lord took me up to his throne room. I saw the glory of heaven. I saw just his magnificent beauty, the peace, the shalom, the sounds, the smell. Everything in heaven was absolutely just perfect. And he showed me these pictures, the mahogany, beautiful pictures of every year of my life for 39 years. The unique thing about those that were not pictures ever taken on earth. And in those pictures, I saw his perfection. There was no sin in those pictures. But the later, the Holy Spirit showed me that was lacking something.

My report card was not full. I barely got to heaven by the skin of my teeth. And he said, my son, I'm going to send you back to start a ministry called by my name, his glory. And as soon as he sent me back to finish that report card and start a ministry by his name, I said, Lord, I want to see Jesus at my foot. And then I couldn't even get the prayer out before there he was at the end of the ICU and Cleveland Clinic just radiating. It was beautiful blue eyes. Same picture that the boy Colton in that movie, Heaven is Real, described.

It was him radiating as in the book of Revelation, where he's just radiating this pure white and that love came back. Well, long story short, there was a long, lots of turmoil, collapsed lungs, five, six stomach operations, more close calls. Then they finally tried to pull me off the respirator again. They had 30 of the top doctors in the ICU there waiting for this next one.

And as soon as they pulled it off, it immediately went bad. I was up above my body watching the doctors panic and frantic and just say, come back, come back, come back. And while I was doing that, I said, Lord, and I felt peace. I felt no pain. I felt no suffering. I just felt this joy of the Lord filling me up.

I said, Lord, why are they panicking? He said, my son, I'm going to send you back to start a ministry called by my name. So when I came back, I started the long process of healing the body, learning to walk, learning to eat, learning to talk again. And then he put me into a cave for many years to learn his word, to know who he was. He didn't immediately just throw me out there in front of a pulpit. I had to learn his word.

He had a mold and he had to shape me in that wilderness period. And then we started the ministry by his name, which reaches 25 million people worldwide and every country of the world and growing. And since we started this ministry, there's been the third trial and tribulation in this book, All for His Glory. And this one is different because this, the trials that I'm experiencing now are because of him, because we're standing up for truth. You know, we started this, why is the church not doing what they're supposed to and why being woke?

Well, we don't, we stand on the literal, literal infallible word of God. And if that means cost us our lives, it will cost us our lives. I've had seven death attempts on me.

I never got shot at when I was in the Marines, but as a pastor, I've had at least seven because we speak the truth of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ, no matter what, what, what, what, what the cost. And it's bringing people hope. Absolutely. What a story, David, really impressed upon me while you were sharing that, that those pictures that were taken by God that he showed you, those pictures are how he sees us, right? Yeah.

Yeah. Dave, I'm not surprised to hear, maybe listeners are, that it actually is, even in this country, more dangerous to be a pastor than an ex-Marine, former Marine, excuse me. Before we go, can you share with the listeners, maybe one of those episodes that people would be shocked by? Well, yeah, that's the first one was because we've, we've brought many Muslims into Christ. We brought in over a thousand Muslims to Christ, including two emops. One of your mom gave his life to Christ live on Facebook.

We reach about 2.2 million people on Facebook. He gave it live. So there was a terrorist, a threat on my life because of that. And then another time they took me and my dear friend, Dr. Bartlett, for standing up to truth, they used a heart attack machine on him and me.

So those are just two. The other five times, one time was in California where they actually had a helicopter come above me with rifles to try to shoot me. And luckily the Lord set me in just in the nick of time.

And the other times were several types of poisoning. Wow. Wow. Dave, this is, I am so glad that we got you to come on and share with the listeners what's happened in your life. How many times did God save your life?

It's probably countless. And I can tell you the listeners don't know this, but when I had my series of back surgeries two years ago, I actually had angels visiting me in the hospital to pray with me. So, you know, Dave, I just really want to thank you for sharing this. You're going to be on my show, The Patriot and the Preacher. And everybody, please go and check out this book because this is a story that's not only real.

I think everybody can relate to all for his glory, their near death experience of a modern day job. Dave Scarlett, thank you so much for joining us, brother. Thank you so much. God bless you and your audience.

Oh, God bless you. We're going to, we're going to be talking to you soon. What a great guest, everybody. What a great guest. We're going to have another great guest to stay with us. There's another great guest joining us. This is the Truth Talk Live. I'm Mark Anthony for a Stu Epperson. We'll be right back. Welcome back to Truth Talk Live. This is Mark Anthony. I'm in for Stu Epperson.

He's out traveling around and I'm grateful to be here for him and stand in for him. So there's another subject that we're going to cover now that a lot of people talk about, which is revelation. We hear it all the time. Is revelation, is this revelation? Is this, was this in revelation?

Is this what the Bible is talking about? So there's more than enough debate out there about where we are when it comes to revelation. And so what we're going to do right now is bring in an author of a book that answers those questions.

The name of the book is Revelation 911, how the book of revelation interacts with today's headlines. And one of the authors, Troy Anderson, joins us right now. Troy, welcome to the show. Hi, Mark. It's great to be at the show.

Great to have you. Troy, this is something obviously that Christians talk about all the time. Where are we right now? What's going on with these headlines? They sound familiar if you've been reading the Bible, right? A lot of this does. Talk to us right now when we look at, for instance, what's going on in Israel with Hamas. What's going on is we see a good portion of the world shift the way they look at Israel and the Jewish people. What about that? Well, yeah, of course.

I remember I interviewed Dr. Tim LaHaye here a number of years ago. He wrote the Left Behind series, and he said that Israel is a super sign of the end times, the rebirth of Israel in 1948. And so since that time, we've seen this complete transformation in the world, you know, developing the weapons of mass destruction.

All the technologies are now in place. You could actually have this mark in the B system where you can't buy or sell. And then we have the world, you know, to a large extent, like the Bible prophesied, turning against Israel. And we had a situation of, you know, Russia and Ukraine war could then expand throughout Europe.

There's the possibility of China invading Taiwan that could potentially spark World War III. And he had this very tragic situation with Hamas attacking Israel and all the deaths there. So it just sort of seems that in Revelation 9 and 11, we're listed 50 different signs of the end times that Jesus and the prophets told us to watch for. And when you compare those to today's headlines, it just seems like they're all lining up. You know, of course, you know, Jesus told us only God knows the day and the hour, but he didn't tell us to watch for signs, and it seems like we're seeing a lot of those. He did, right. He said that there would be a lot of signs. And so you just brought that up there. You said there were 50 things, 50 signs.

So tell us, if we were keeping score here as you're watching these headlines, Troy, how many of the 50 have we seen so far? Well, you know, if you take a look at all those different Bible verses, I don't have them in front of me right now, but pretty much the only ones that haven't been fulfilled yet or aren't in some process of being filled is the creation of a one-world government. And we're seeing a push for that with, you know, the push for globalism around the world, the Great Reset Plan, the World Economic Forum is announced.

And you haven't seen rebuilt in the Third Temple, of course. You know, it sounds like, if you read the Bible, it sounds like that'll probably happen during the tribulation. So of these 50 different signs, you know, here's one that comes to mind, you know, in Revelation it talks about the two witnesses being killed and the whole world watching this, and so today with cell phones and iPhones and that kind of thing, the whole world could watch something like that, you know? And so there's all these references, sort of new technologies, and especially in Revelation, the image of the beast, could that be a reference to, you know, an artificial intelligence?

Sure. Could the Antichrist be, you know, some kind of transhuman, you know, boystered by artificial intelligence, brain implants, that kind of thing? So, you know, Apostle John was trying to describe all this stuff 2,000 years ago, and, you know, he did a pretty good job of, or perhaps describing our modern world. Sure, sure, as he was saying, absolutely, and then we can also reference back to the book of Daniel as he's trying to describe these modern weapons, right? I mean, that's, you know, they did a great job when you think about it because they were trying to describe things they had never seen in their lives.

Troy, there's a couple things I wanted to make sure we covered. One of them is, is that people have been debating for a long time about who this religious leader is when things start to come to pass that's going to basically bless the Antichrist. Now, I have an idea of who I think it is, and who that person could be in such an influential position to influence millions of Christ-followers.

Who do you think it is from all of your research and studying? Well, yeah, I mean, you know, the Bible talks about the Antichrist, and of course you're mentioning the false prophet, this religious leader that helps the Antichrists come to power, and it's through religion. Is it some kind of occult-based, you know, New Age religion that emerges in the end times? I think we're sort of seeing that emerge, you know.

Barna does all these surveys, and they find that even people who go to church, you know, about 60% of them hold some kind of, you know, sort of New Age beliefs, reincarnation, the whole past lead to heaven, you know, those psychic things and those kind of things. So, you know, a lot of the world's religions are sort of moving in that direction now, so, you know, could you see some kind of, you know, global religious leader arise that would push for that? And then you've even got, like, Noah Harari, who's an advisor to Klaus Schwab at the World Economic Forum, talking about the possibility of AI or rewriting the Bible, you know, and so, yeah, if we get to the—I mean, if we ever begin rewriting history, if we get to the point where they're rewriting Scripture, then, you know, you potentially could have some kind of new religion or even a merger of all the world's religions, and it'll probably be something like that, and so I don't think we're gonna know who this person is until we hit the time of possibly, you know, the beginning of the Tribulation or something like that.

I mean, there's certainly different candidates you could talk about now, but I think, you know, we won't know until it happens, probably. No, you're right. But one of them may be in Rome.

That could be, right? Well, yeah, so certainly, I mean, the pope has always been, you know, considered a possible candidate for the false prophet and, you know, among other different religious leaders, you know, so that's been a long-held belief in Christianity for, you know, thousands of years, actually, or at least hundreds, and so, you know, we don't know for sure, but it's been, you know, spoken on by many different Bible scholars over the centuries. Okay, and so we're doing our best as Christians and the old experts in theology, as you are, and other people, to interpret as much as we can. So when we look, we've got to go to a break soon, and I just want to make sure the listeners key in on this. You have studied this, you have looked at this, and we know there are only two sides. There's only, right now in this country, Troy, I'm sure you'll agree, good versus evil, right?

There is no in-between anymore, and when we talk about what's going on in the upcoming election, and where each side stands, right? Is there really, as a Christian in your mind, are you in doubt as to who to vote for this upcoming election, Troy? Well, I've actually written two books now on President Trump. I wrote a book called Trumpocalypse, and I just wrote a book called The Trump Codes, could have come out September 17th, so, and these books are in favor of President Trump, but, you know, just like all of us, he's not a perfect man, obviously, but, you know, God has used him, just like, you know, God uses the weak things of the world, the broken, and he's used this guy to, you know, we actually called for a National Day of Repentance in Trumpocalypse, a friend of ours ran with it, asked us to write the White House Executive Summary, and then Rabbi Cahn became the spokesman, and the event actually happened, it was called the Return National and Global Day of Prayer and Repentance, it was in September 2020, over a million people showed up, 42 million people watched it, first National Day of Repentance in America, it's the evening of Lincoln, and President Trump issued a proclamation for a Day of Prayer and Return, and I was inspired to call for this, for this interview I did with Billy Graham about a decade ago, where he talked about how God sent the prophet Jonah to Nineveh to wonder of judgment, and he said the king and the people repented, and he believed the same thing happened again, this time in America, and he actually asked every president for Eisenhower to Bush to do this, but none did until Trump did, and we just had this eclipse on April 8th, the Windsor office called Nineveh in America, so I just wrote a story for Christmas.

So wait a minute, hold on, because we're going to hold you over, I want the audience to hear this part, because we all know that God uses the most unlikely people to do the most amazing things. So before we go to a break, this Christian audience, listen carefully, in November we are not voting for our Savior, we're voting for a president, and if anybody right now is unsure of where your vote should go, or your allegiance, your allegiance should be to God and this country. Remember, this is the country that the founders said, with a firm reliance on divine providence, we mutually pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

Listen to me carefully, the honor is gone among all of our leaders. We need to take this country back, Troy's going to stay with us for a couple minutes into our final segment, but everybody be very clear on that right now, this country, it's we have one chance, and that's this November, because we've already seen what's happened over the last three and a half years of the administration that is in power right now, and we do not need another repeat of that, because this country will not survive, I promise you that, that's a promise, and I'm here to tell you the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, because that's the slogan for my show, and I just happen to be here on the Truth Talk Live. Everybody better key into that right now, if you're offended by that, if you think I'm wrong, we're taking calls in the next segment, you can tell me why I'm wrong, and so, we'll be right back, stay with us. This is Truth Talk Live, I'm Mark Anthony in for Stu Epperson, and thanks for everybody for joining us, we have with us still, we have Troy with us, the author, and Troy, we have a caller, we're going to have him come in, he wants to chime in on the topic, Buckman, you're with us. Hey, this is an awesome, awesome topic, thank you brothers for having me, I just wanted to say, God bless Stu Epperson and you Mark, for doing the program this Friday, my name is Buckman, right here in Dayton, Ohio, I am very much in step with what's going on politically, I'm trying to get pastors engaged, brother Mark, and brother Troy, and I guess my question is, how do we get our pastors, not just in Ohio, but all across 50 states and this wonderful land of the free, to get involved and to inspire their congregations to actually get involved and get engaged with the culture, I know there's a presidential election coming up here in November, and we should really, really, really do our research on both candidates, because we have an eternity that we will be answering for, for whoever we pull the lever for in 2024 here in November. That's a great, that's a great point, and Buckman, I'm going to ask our producer to get your phone number, we're going to reach out to you about what else we can do, we're working on that, Troy, why don't you answer that question first, thank you for your call. You know, I went to an event in Florida here a couple years ago, I think it was called the Black Rope Preachers, and they invited Paul, I think Pastor Paul Blair's the founder of that, I recall, and they invited all these ministers from across the country to attend, and at the end of it, they all pledged to essentially preach the whole council of God, you know, to encourage your congregations to vote, you know, to get active in this part of the, you know, what, in the past, as the story goes, that most of the preachers during the Revolutionary War, they've actually fought, fought in the revolution, and encouraged their congregations to join them, and so the ministers led the country, they led the country in the birth of America, and today you have this situation where...

Wait, stop, wait, stop, hold on one second, Troy, because this is like the biggest thing about my show. Did you hear that, everybody? Just one more time, back during the Revolutionary War, during that war, and I've said it on my show, it wasn't just the sermons that the preachers got fired up over. When they were done preaching, they took off their black robes, that's why it was called the Black Rope Regiment, and they went and fought the enemy. Does everybody hear that? So when you hear out there that there's a separation of church and state, and we don't want to insert our Christian beliefs into our laws, they already are.

They already are. Ladies and gentlemen, the reason that you have three branches of government is because of Isaiah 33, 22, where God says, I am the king, lawgiver, and judge. That inspired John Madison to put three branches of government in. You are living in a country created on Christian values.

Troy, keep going. Yes, I mean, you're exactly right. If you read all the different quotes and books from our founding fathers, everything from the Mayflower Compact, when the pilgrims dedicated America to the advancement of the Christian faith, to the creation of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, all these were inspired by Scripture, by the Bible.

Absolutely. And so we find ourselves living in this country that is largely inspired by the Bible. I mean, the only country that God created is Israel, but we are linked to Israel because of what our founding fathers and the pilgrims and the Puritans did. And so now we find ourselves in a situation where there's this massive secularization of society, this increase in wickedness and falling away. And I mean, you're absolutely right, if Trump isn't reelected in November, we're almost certainly going to be moving into this great reset plan. We'll get merged into this world government system, and the events of Revelation will unfold.

Will unfold quickly. Troy, we really appreciate you coming on, Troy Anderson, and everybody's got to go and grab this book, Revelation 9-1-1, How the Book of Revelation Intersects with Today's Headlines. Troy Anderson, thank you so much for joining us, sir. Yeah, thank you much. Thank you. God bless you. God bless you.

So I just want to repeat that one more time. If you hear your pastor saying, well, separation of church and state or anything like that, you have got to stop them. The pastors out there have got to step into their roles, the roles that God gave them. It's up to pastors to get the congregation to pay attention. If they're preaching from the gospel, that same gospel is what got those founders to do something impossible, which was to go up against the world power. And they did it through prayer. As a matter of fact, I have an example right here.

Remember, before I go into the story, if anybody would like to call in in this last segment, it's 866-348-7884, 866-348-7884. We all have done things and then seen God work in our lives. We have all then, at some point, that's our nature, said, well, I've got it from here. Even the founders did that, actually. See, actually, after they saw miracles, countless, up to 13 or more, because for those of you that don't know, our Continental Congress called for a National Day of Prayer 13 times during the Revolutionary War, and there are 13 miracles to accompany those prayers. But then there was this time, after winning the war, we couldn't even come to an agreement on the Constitution.

Imagine that. We had just seen all these miracles, but somehow we could not compromise. So Ben Franklin, the most unlikely hero, he saved the day. And I think that you've got to hear about what he had to say, because his speech saved everything. Here we go.

Well, let's first of all remember Ben was a wild guy. Here goes the speech. I'm paraphrasing some of this. Here we go. During the war with Great Britain, when we were sensible to danger, we were on our knees, praying daily in this room. That room, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, was Independence Hall. All of us who were engaged in the struggle saw superintending instances of divine providence in our favor.

Here it goes. Have we forgotten our powerful friend, or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance? I have lived a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing truths I see. That God governs the affairs of all men. And if a sparrow cannot fall from the tree without his notice, what makes us believe an empire can rise without his aid?

According to all accounts, you could hear a pin drop. Benjamin Franklin's legacy lives on. It's the reason that every session of Congress is opened with what? A prayer. He made a motion to fast and pray, everyone, for three days. And when they came back, there was understanding, there was discernment, there was wisdom, there was compromise, and they ratified that constitution. So then Franklin gave a sermon.

He gave a pep talk to his friends, his colleagues, to remind them everything they had just seen. Mike in Dayton, Ohio, welcome to the show. Thank you for taking my call.

That's exactly what I was thinking. We need to pray for our country. Do you mind if I pray for our country right now?

Not at all. Dear Lord, I just praise you for this man to give the knowledge of our inheritance. This is why God is blessing this country. This is why God loves this country, because people like him and people like me, Lord, we want to bless you. We want to reach people for the lost, Lord. We need leaders and we need revival in this country, Lord, in Jesus' name.

And may the right man become president this year, in Jesus' name, amen. Amen. Thank you very much, Mike. We appreciate you calling. God bless you, sir. God bless you, sir. Thank you for what you're doing. Thank you. Thank you. Of course.

So I hope that everybody has enjoyed our guests and got the message. This is not a time to be quiet. This is not a time to wonder whether or not you're going to offend anybody, because I guarantee you this, the founders did not worry about who got offended. They worried about liberty and freedom. Remember this, your liberty and freedom comes from God. That's why it says liberty be proclaimed throughout the land in the Liberty Bell.

That's from the Bible Leviticus. Your liberty comes from God. This is God's nation.

We're here because He wants us to be here. And so I ask all of you to do everything you can between now and November. This is your country. This is your nation, one nation under God. And it's up to all of us, all these great patriots out there to save it. And that is what we're going to do between now and the election. I just want you to listen to this very, very carefully.

If we ever, if the time should ever come when vain and aspiring men should possess the highest seats in government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin. That I will leave you with. You have a great weekend. God bless you all. Listen to the Patriot and the Preacher Show this Saturday, tomorrow at 3 p.m. Thank you everybody for joining us. And Stu, thanks so much for giving me your mic for the day. God bless everybody.
