What we got tonight?

Okay, we do. We got tonight. Before we get started, listen. We have a dear, dear friend of ours and A legend in radio, as he's called. and that's Seth Williams and Seth has just undergone some ho well, some extremely extremely important surgery and uh He's lost now both of his legs and uh I guess Well, he needs a lot of prayer.

He really needs a lot of prayer.

So w would you start off and w go ahead and pray for him and I'll finish. Heavenly Father, we. We humbly ask you to to be with Seth in this this tough time that he's going through with the health issues and He already had one surgery last week and he's going to have another one tomorrow. We ask that you. Uh guide the surgeon's hands.

So everything comes out exactly as expected and the best possible result. Um We know he's got a lot of loving fans and friends and family. Um I hope I hope I wish that. Um Yeah. You, Heavenly Father, will uh will remind him of all the people that love him.

So Keep his spirits up and uh and and help him heal towards uh help help them get towards uh a healthy, productive life. that he still has uh plenty of years uh ahead of him and And uh and we know that you'll be with him and and help him guide through it. and give him the strength to get through it. We know he has it, but he Sometimes might need some reminders.

So if you can. remind him of the strength that you've already given him. and that he'll he'll get through it. And we ask this in Jesus' name. All right.

Thank you, thank you. Heavenly Father, Lord God, we off to here. the story about people that say, Well, you know, I complained because I had no shoes until I met a man that had no feet and Heavenly Father, that man saith But he's got a big heart. He's a big, big heart, Father God. And Lord, we just would ask in this situation that you would bless Seth in every area.

Now where he could receive that blessing, Father God. And Lord, sometimes we know with with the prosthetics that we have today, Lord, that you know, he's used to having one with the prosthetics, he'll be able to get around. uh as good as he got around it with his natural legs, but Again, we would ask Father God, especially at this time. that you would come in touch and heal the reason that he he lost those legs And his situ his situation with that severe diabetes, Lord, that you would t touch him, heal him, bless him. And in every area where he could receive that blessing, Father God, we ask that you would give it to Seth.

And then, Lord, we would ask that you would use him in a mighty, mighty way. Lord, to the maximum, right up until the time Ye take him home, and he hears well done, my good and faithful servant. That's our prayer for our brother. Seventh. God bless you.

All right, very good. Amen. Um The title of the message was Do you hear the trumpet sounding? Do you hear the trumpet sounding? And we're going to start tonight in Ezekiel chapter 33.

And We'll start in verse one. And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man. Speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, when I bring the sword upon the land, if the people of the land Take a man of their coasts and set him for their watchman. If when he seeth the sword come Yeah. the land he blow the trumpet, And he warned the people.

Here, who was it when he was supposed to be those that were supposed to be the watchmen? Um there were three categories of people that were supposed to be the watchmen Who do you think they were? Um Well Men Yeah, they they were men here, but he's He's referring here in this passage, Ezekiel, to three categories. Those were the prophets, the priests, and the kings. And so he says.

And when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he bloweth trumpet. and warn the people. Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not awarding of the sword, Come and take him away. His blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, And he took not the warning?

His blood should be upon him But he that taketh the warning shall deliver his soul.

So he's talking about here Ezekiel Kenny is being called to be a watchman. and to warn all of Israel And he was responsible to do his duty there. Otherwise he would be responsible for the deaths of the people. And and would be punished accordingly. And so here.

How does that apply today for us? I mean You see, because everything's got a s an application today We have watchmen that are called to be watchmen today. Who are they? It's all of us. Yeah, we're all called, but specifically those today, the pastors.

Are the ones who are supposed to be saying, Thus saith the Lord God, right? And but now, according to Romans chapter 13. Um If we look at Romans chapter 13 and where we abide in that, Then here When it refers to as ministers Um is referring to no matter if you're a If you're a governor, If you're a A mayor, if you're a fire chief? Whoever, if you're a minister, if you're working within the confines of God's law, Uh you are to be ready to warn the people. But now specifically the pastors, he tells you over there.

In Isaiah chapter fifty six, verse ten, Um that might Shepherds are are like dumb dogs. They're too afraid to bark.

Okay, and so here now So he's tellin' Ezekiel.

Now Ezekiel Uh well would only speak he would only speak When the Lord spoke to him, when the Lord wasn't speaking to him, he wasn't talking to anybody. In fact, he would be dumb. He was referred to as being dumb. But it's not like Like today, like a Democrat. I was just going to say that.

Yeah. Except that meant to be mute. To be mute. He goes on to say He that heard the sound of the trumpet and took not a warning, his blood should be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.

But if the watchmen see the sword come, And blow not the trumpet and the and the people be not warned. If the sword come and take away any person from among them, he is taken away in the iniquity but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

So thou old son of man, I set thee a watchman into the house of Israel. Therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die, if thou dost not. Spake to warn the wicked from his ways, that wicked man shall die in iniquity, But his blood will I require at thine hand Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked, or his wicked way to turn from it, If he do not turn from his way, He shall die in his iniquity. And thou hast but thou hast delivered thy own soul.

Now Here Ezekiel again is reminded that he that it's his duty, Kenny, to be as a prophet was To warn the people, to be a watchman, to be a sentry.

Now the vast majority of of pastors in America today Um Have totally ignored this warning. They've neglected their duty. Oh, yes, they have. They. They failed in a super super way I remember as a very young pastor Boy, did I get some of those guys angry at me.

I remember I was told If you keep this up, you're going to bring the government down on all of us. They were more afraid of the government uh coming down and cracking down on them. Um you know, by Because we were not to allow abortion. We were supposed to march. We didn't.

I I didn't, praise God. I went to DC with a a hundred pastors. We went. But it should have been a hundred thousand. It should have been a hundred thousand and Uh probably I would say not even one percent of the the pastors in this country had the had the metal.

the integrity or the fortitude the courage to stand up and then in Here in nineteen seventy three. where the blood of the innocent was upon their heads, You know, in Proverbs chapter twenty four, let me I want to jump over there for a minute. Just And read this verses 10. Yeah. If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain. If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not Doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? He that keepeth the soul, doth he not know it? And shall he not? and shall not he render to every man according to his works.

In other words, you're not going to get over on God, are you? No. And you know, and this you know When I was a kid Right after World War Two, Kenny. I had though. We had a a lot of uh Germans come over here after the war.

And You know, as a kid, sometimes a kid asks questions That maybe it this maybe you shouldn't ask, okay? And at times. But as a kid, you don't know that because that's why you do that. You just don't know any better, yeah. And I had watched the films of what happened during the Holocaust and that.

And here I would ask these these people that come over there why did you guys let them do that? Why did you let Hitler do that to those people? Those were Christians and Jews. Why did you? Um, you know, as a kid you you know, you you you you're curious, you're asking the questions and And you know what?

Even as a kid you knew, That when you were talking to somebody, if they cut eye contact, if they would not look you dead in the eye, but they looked away. You knew they weren't telling you the truth. And they um the s the answer was always the same. We didn't know what was happening. We didn't know what was going on.

That that happened in the another city. But but And you could have believed some of that because, you know, they did consider b but Not when they cut eye contact and wouldn't look you in the eye. Then you knew, huh? Mm-hmm. He goes on there.

And so Here today we have more apostate pastors You know what what we just had over the weekend? You had the May Day March for Communism. The May Day March you had. Three three thousand different cities. You had communist march called the May Day March.

Did you know that? No, I I didn't. I was unaware of that. Yeah, that was stupid. over the weekend, the March for Communism.

And uh they were out there And uh and here's here's the irony. The irony of these Communists out there These Democratic Communist Party members We're shouting, no kings, no kings, right? Uh-uh. You know, we say no king but King Jesus. No, they just say no kings.

But the irony is. They were being sponsored by that f that billionaire multi-billionaire to move to China. From America. And George Soros, they were being sponsored all by multi-billionaires, billionaires, okay? And uh here They were shoutin' no kings, but you know what else they were shouting?

No billionaires. No, yeah, they were carrying placards. They were carrying placards and and um Multi, multi, multi millionaire Bernie Sanders, okay. Bernard Sanders Was out there, and that's one of the things that he talks about is against this guy's got three mansions. Yeah, he used to speak out against millionaires, but he's a millionaire now, so now he's changed his rhetoric to billionaires.

Yeah, yeah. He goes on to say, Therefore, hold thou son of man. Speaking to the house of Israel. Thus you speak and say unto If our transgressions and our sins be upon us And we pine away in them. How should we then live?

Say unto them As I live, saith the LORD God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked. But the wicked turned from his way, And live turn ye turn ye from your evil ways for why will ye die, O house of Israel? Look, if God has no desire, if He has no pleasure at all, in the death of the wicked than now, we're not talking about Just a physical death here. We're talking about separation from God. We're talking about.

spiritual death too. And so If he has no pleasure in it Then why why is he doing it? Why is he Kill killing them. Um Because he has to. I mean, i if if they're disobeying them disobeying him.

So Uncanny holy And just God tolerates sin. No. Can he look upon sin without punishing sin? No. No, and so that's what makes them wholly unjust, huh?

Mhm. He goes on to say Therefore, thou the Son of Man, Say unto the people the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgressions. As for the wickedness of his wicked, he shall not fall thereby In the day that he turneth from his wickedness, neither shall the righteous be able to live, for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth. In other words, He's saying that Here, if the wicked turn and repent of their sins. If they turn and they repent, then they'll be saved.

But if the righteous Uh Here turning the other way, and sin without repentance, Consider themselves to be righteous people, then they won't be saved. Then he says when I She'll say to the righteous that he shall surely live. if he trusts to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousness shall not be remembered. But for his iniquity that he hath committed He shall die for it. And again, now What do you think that means if he trusts in his own righteousness?

He's making a statement there. Um he's He's saying that it If you think you're So good. Uh that's that's That's not gonna help you even if you s it's not gonna help you if you Sin. Because even though you were good, but you still sinned and you're unrepentant of it, even though you. were good and you think that you were good enough.

So how how did the how did Israel there How did they They justify that. How did they think that there that they could Justify themselves by their own righteousness. How do you how was that uh uh accomplished, do you think? I'm not sure.

Well, by keeping the law, they thought if they could keep Uh every point of the law And then they could be, they would justify their righteousness, okay? The problem of it is They couldn't keep the law because Well, no man but Jesus. You might say, well, you know.

Okay, okay, I'll admit. You know, I kept ninety percent of it. You got to give me high I kept at least I kept ninety percent. Um If you break one point of the law, what happens to the rest of the law? It it really doesn't matter anymore because you're a sinner.

You've broken all points of the law. And so here He goes on. Because our best righteousness our best righteousness is as what? Filthy rags. Mm-hmm.

And you know that That was referring to something specific when he was referring to that in Hebrew. And uh That was referring to minstrel rags.

Okay. And that's pretty nasty, isn't it? And um He goes on. Yeah, I guess we should just Tampa and Tim out there from Minnesota would probably know about Yeah, again, when I say unto the wicked, thou shalt surely die. if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right.

The wicked restore the path the If the wicked restore the pledge, give again, and he had robbed him in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity. He shall surely live he shall not die. None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him, He hath done that which is lawful, and right shall he surely should live.

So When a sinner repents and turns to God in Christ Jesus For salvation today. God pardons iniquity. because he delighteth the Bible said he delighteth He will cast out their sins into the depths of the sea, and Uh Micah, seven, eighteen and nineteen.

So he he uh So l so let me ask you this then. What percentage of our sins, if once we repent and call upon the name of the Lord and get saved, what percentage of our sins are wiped away, cast into the depths of the sea, or as you were in the small of the back, where you can't see me ever again. I would say probably about fifty percent. No, all of them. One hundred percent.

Yeah, one hundred percent, right. Because only one of them it takes just one to condemn you, huh? Absolutely.

Okay. So yet the children of thy people say, The way of the LORD is not equal But as for them their way is not equal, Uh that word there equal in Hebrew actually means what we use fair. It's not fair. They're saying it's just not fair. Uh the the God's ways are not fair.

Who are we to tell God what is fair and what is not fair? We have no place to do that. Yeah. We might get corrected, huh? You think?

Yeah. So when the glorious when the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity. He shall even die thereby. And so here When he talked about turning from the righteousness, a perfectly righteous man could be. Saved.

But Yeah. There is none righteous, the problem says in Romans 3.10. this all must come as sinners. And repentance. In faith.

So Our righteousness is not through us, but through the Lord Jesus Christ, huh? Mm. And he goes. But if the wicked man turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful, and right he shall live thereby.

Now remember, the application has both physical and spiritual here. Um how okay. in this How would this affect you and me to day? You know, every now and then Um The pastor Okay, well the pastor has to tell the the flock what they need to hear. And not what they want to hear, okay?

Um who do I report to? You report to Jesus. I report to the Lord. That's who I report to, right?

So that's my job is to tell the people clear and plain. Thus saith the Lord God, okay, And so Here Uh Doers, I love doers of the word church. I love doers of the word church. But I'm going to tell you because. you know, for almost fifty years Um We've had people that have been with us.

some for almost forty years, forty years that have been with us, okay, of course Over the years I've buried over fifty people. that uh were members of our church, closer to sixty ble people that were And we have some Godly, godly, godly saints. Oh Yeah, uh about seven of those were pastors, you know, my associate pastors over the years. And Here. And you know what?

Not one of them Not one of them did I have a complaint with. When it comes to witnessing the gospel, they were sole winners. They were sole winners out there. they would go out But, you know That's not the case with all of the churches. There's of folks and doers of the word church that A lot of 'em will well You know I'm not I'm kind of uh laid back I'm I I'm I'm kind of a shy person when it comes to that.

Is that an excuse not to witness? No, not at all.

Okay. When when whenever the opportunity presents itself to witness. Are we not to boldly Witness the Lord Jesus Christ. Absolutely.

It's the least thing that you you're expected to do. Yeah, and see, we have one of the emphasis in our church, there's emphasis on three things. One, We have the big emphasis on teaching the word of God. We We take teaching of the Bible to a little higher level. And and I think you might notice that, okay.

Uh Than you than you get in a lot of places. We we get really into the meat of the word. Right. Um The second thing is Inviting people to church. You know, do it to the words.

You know, I told them they're to go up there. Today, there's a lot of things happening, Kenny. uh across the board the church Attendance has fallen off dramatically. Wow. And here's the strange thing.

In fact, Uh here I was just looking, for example, Uh at Joe Olstein's Uh church there And we're there in Texas, I believe. It said Joel Houston's. His megachurch. And they showed, yeah, the megachurch. And they showed uh Thousands of empty seats.

thousands of empty seats and they say they're getting down Right now he's got less than half. They they fill up less than half of the church services and and they're losing Uh about seven to eight according to the article there in uh seven to eight hundred people uh every week. Um and I think Alstein quit. I think he's uh I I think he left. I think his his son's taking over for him, but I'm not sure of that.

I heard that's what that was going to happen. But not just in in the prosperity churches, and of course. The apostate churches, they've been losing people. Huge splits of split in the United Methodist Church. A United Church of Christ there.

I mean they're They're losing people left and right.

So. All of these, but And and your fundamentalist Bible believing churches too. There even in those Bible believing churches, Um They're losing people. There's one Um Sector of churches, you might say. that is is picking up, they're gaining people.

And what do you think that is? Um Would that be uh Bible Teaching believing Baptist Church? Uh most of those Uh Most of those even even your hard core fundamentalist Uh what's happening is there's a lot of people they The old guard is dying off like in our church. We have a lot of the old guard died off. But it's those out there today have you been hearing about this This revival is taking place all across the country.

Uh the word of Jesus, Charlie Kirk and all that stuff. Mm-hmm. Well, the problem of it is is It's not the traditional Uh church teachings. And people say, Well, new things are better. No.

No. Scripture. Scripture tells us to hold fast, hold fast to the traditions of the apostles, right? And see Rick Warren, when he started all of that, get rid of those hymnals.

Well, the Bible says we're to sing hymns and and praise to the Lord, okay? and psalms to the Lord. And so they're they're saying change, get away from that, go into m more entertainment. A better entertainment, you know.

something you gotta have a a new a new act. Put a new act out there. And that's what's happening And a lot of these younger people uh they're they're being brought into And they they they feel That they're being led by the Spirit but uh There's a lot of it's not the right spirit, they don't understand. They're not Uh the Bible says my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. And there is wherein the problem lies.

There's a huge lack of biblical knowledge, so they don't understand that what they're chasing is not from God, okay? Uh This enter this entertainment industry, and that's what it's into.

Some of those were where they come up with new gimmicks and But but even in the old Uh prosperity church to name it, claim it, grab and stab it. even even they're losing in mass numbers and And again Um Bible believing hardcore tr no. There seems to be just recently a little pick up. Um In those churches. I know we've had some recently some new people come.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I thought I read that somewhere. Yeah, but not like it used to be, okay? I mean we you know, it used to be we'd we'd have a lot more, but this is This is across the board. Um just in the last few years.

Church attendance has dropped about 40%. Oh. And and that is uh again They don't think that they have to go to church. They go to these outdoor concerts. where they have these outdoor and and this is this is replacing the church, okay.

And so and Rick Warren started a whole lot of that. he started a whole lot of that and Course he saw where that ended up. He's gone now. And as far as I don't even know if that church is even still there anymore, okay. But let's let's pick it up here where we left off, because he says Here Yet you say the way of the Lord is not equal.

O house of Israel, I will judge you, every one of after his ways. And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month that one that had escaped from Jerusalem came into me. saying the city is smitten.

Well, that's the tenth month of that prophecy came about nine months after The final prophecy he made about Egypt. And If you go back to The two uh Chapter Thirty two and read Verse seventeen he says Uh And it came to pass also in the twelfth year In the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of Man, Wail for the multitude of Egypt and cast them down.

Okay. And so here he goes on to say Now the hand of the LORD was upon me, in the evening, Afore he Afore he that was Escape came. See what had happened It was. That you had these false prophets, you had Hananiah. Hananiah was out there saying, Hey, you know, Don't worry about it.

Uh With Nebuchadnezzar Babylon, they're not they will not conquer us. They will not they will not be successful. We will fight them off. And He was a false prophet. And Ezekiel's warning the people saying, You're going into captivity.

Jeremiah and Ezekiel is telling them, You're going. And Hananias says, Don't listen to those guys, okay? And what did they what did they uh They took Jeremiah and they threw him into a A dry well was was a mud pit. And he he was in mud up to his neck. And if the princes threw in the which were the legislators of that day, because He was telling the truth.

He was prophesying and saying, You're going to be brought into captivity. And so the princes got together and said, Listen, you'll never see the enemy breach the the gates of Jerusalem. Boy, were they wrong.

Okay. And so here now When he says And the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening afore that he was. escaped came and opened my mouth until He came to me in the morning, and my mouth was open, and I was No more dumb.

Okay, of course that that doesn't that means That he was no longer mute.

Okay, it was like Zachariah when Um Gabriel You know, made him mute. Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, Well you see, Ezekiel wasn't he wasn't allowed to talk until God d told him. And and he said a man, They that inhibit those wastes of the land, of Israel speak, saying Abraham was one, and he inherited the land. But we are many, and the land is given unto us for an inheritance.

Well, there's a problem there, right? Because God promised Abraham didn't in the seed the promise thing, didn't he? Yeah. Does God deliver on promises? Every time.

Okay, but What was that contention on? And and God's obedience and and did the people uh obey God? Unfortunately, no. No, they didn't, and and therefore That they never they never received their promised land yet.

Okay, when are they going to do that? During the Millennial Kingdom and And when that happens, that's a huge area. It's a lot bigger than people think, okay? That promise goes into Saudi Arabia, it goes into Egypt, it goes, I mean, that area that he promised is a huge area there. Yeah, it's not the.

The little state that they have right now. No. That's about half the size of Ohio. He goes on to say Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the LORD God Ye eat. With the blood And ye lift up your eyes towards your idols, and shed blood, And you shall possess the land, and shall you possess the land?

So he's asking him. You are in total disobedience to me. You're an abomination. And you want me to give you the land? These people had to be Democrats.

I mean, I mean, that's exactly the type of thing that they would do. No. Embracing sin. I mean, it's right there. You stand upon your sword, you work abominations.

And you defile every one his neighbour's wife And shall you possess the land? He's asking a question. Yeah. It's arcades. Do you really think you deserve this?

Yeah. Say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God. I live surely. They that are in the waste shall fall by the sword and Him that is in the open field who I give to The beast to be devoured and miserable. They that be in the in the forts.

and in the cave shall die of the pestilence.

Well, these are not good things, right?

Okay. For I will lay the land hom most desolate, And the pump of her strength shall cease And the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, and none shall pass through. Did he do that? Yeah. the land laid desolate, a desert, for nineteen hundred years.

When God does things, He does them in a big way, doesn't He? Absolutely.

And so Then shall they know that I am the Lord, When I have laid the land most desolate, because of their abomination which they have committed. And thou, son of man, the children of thy people, still are talking against thee. by the walls and the doors of the houses and speak to one another, every one to his brothers, saying, Come, I pray you. and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord.

So they're saying They're putting on a show. They're saying, hey, Listen, we got a a prophet out there, a prophet of God. Come on and join us and let's listen to what he says. to thee as the people cometh in They sit before thee. Uh as my people.

and they hear thy words But they will not do them. For with their mouth. They show much love. but their heart goeth after their covetousness. And lo Though ardent to them is a very lovely song Of one that hath a Pleasant voice.

and kin play well. The instrument, for they hear thy words But they do them not. In other words, Uh they give a They give mouth to it. Yeah, they're not practicing what they preach. Boy, do we have that to day Well it's all lip service.

Now when he cometh to pass, lo, it will come And they shall know that a prophet has been among them. How is it that they shall know there's one way that they know that a prophet has been among them? Um Um I'm not sure.

Well, it's everything that God just warned them about here will come to pass. Oh, okay.

So Of course, i i i what what he says will happen. That'll fix that. I don't know why I drew a blank there.

Well, if he says if it doesn't happen, guess what? You got conned. That's that's not a profit. That's not sending to me. And and that guy that did that, he's in trouble.

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds, O Woe unto the shepherds of Israel. They do feed themselves I should not. the shepherds feed the flocks. Again, he's talking about In those days, the prophets, the priests, and then.

Today the religious leaders Like you're looking at the Prosperity Church. It's unbelievable, the Prosperity Church. out there uh what they have done You know, I've seen situations where They tell Yeah. poor widow women That are On Social Security. Look, the reason you're so poor, the reason you are so poor is you don't have a lack of faith.

That's why you're poor. Here, remember the widow and her two mites? She gave everything. Here's what you do. You send us everything every dime that you have, every last penny.

and see if God don't blitz see if God don't turn that around. And send it a hundred times. Remember, he says he'll turn it back a hundred times, it'll overflowing. And so Right. Yeah.

Paula White was with her thing I was listening to her, and she could. She could all your problems. I mean, she could just fix whatever your problem is, she could solve it. for three thousand bucks. She yeah, she was asking three She said, you know, God had told her it's 3,000.

That's how much you're getting of 3,000, okay? And you got it fixed. She'll fix it for you. It's sad that so many people fall for this. Yeah.

Well, do you know do you know? The people that fall for it are are the ones that are desperate. They're desperate. They're not giving. Why why are we taking where what is the reason we are to give?

What is the reason why Well, we're we're supposed to tie it. Yeah. But why? To help our fellow man? We're to tithe because God tells us we're to tithe.

That's a word of faith, okay? where to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, house the homeless, So we're we're to give it to the Lord's work, okay? And read Malachi chapter 3. Everybody. They give the get.

If you give to get Uh does God honor that if you give to gifts? No, no.

Okay. Right, exactly. Does God know why you're doing what you're doing? Yes. Yeah, there's no hiding intentions from God.

Right, easy. He's kind of a step ahead of you, isn't he? Yeah, a little bit. He goes on to say Here, you eat the fat, and you clothe you with the wool, you kill them that are. Fed But you feed not the flock.

Now, What he's referring here, he's going to refer to the the the flock and his and he's going to refer to sheep and he's going to refer to cattle. When he's referring to cattle, he's mean sheep. The sheep they're referred to in this passage as cattle, okay? But now When he's referring uh Uh to those Uh that are coming after the prey, okay? He's referring to two types of beast when he's referring to the beast.

Some are four legged, but mostly are two legged beasts, as referring to here. And he goes on to say The disease ye have not strengthened, neither have ye Healed them which were sick, neither have you bound up them which was broken, neither have you brought again that which was driven away, neither have you sought that which was in lo was lost. but with force and cruelty, Have you ruled them? And they were scattered because they're Is no shepherd. And they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.

Now he's telling you He's referring to, he's giving you an example that his people. Became prey to the wealthy, to the wicked, okay? And their shepherds. Where you know what they were like? They were like their Okay.

In Minnesota. Did you did you see what just came out that The government come out and said that There has been And the fraud, the government fraud, the welfare fraud, they believe has reached a trillion dollars. That's insane. That's crazy. And so they showed these people that we're running these so-called daycare centers, nurseries.

Uh these people They were all, every one of them, every single. Adult Somalia was on welfare. Everyone, every single one there in Minnesota. And not only that, But many of we're driving Mercedes-Benz. Mm-hmm.

Um Very expensive issue fees. They're flaunting the money. Yeah. Right. Right.

In other words, they're saying that simply a part of the Somali culture Therefore it should be re accepted. Uh I'm not going to accept it, okay? And uh and so I guess who's in charge of running that down. Oh, J.D. Vance.

J.D. Vance. Yep. Yeah. Trump put him in charge of doing that, okay?

and guess who he's goin' after right now? Tampa. Yeah, oh, he d did you see tamp on tip? Come out and say If you commit crimes, if you commit them, we'll find you. We're going to get you.

Yeah, we tried taking credit. And I saw J.D. Vance compared him to the arsonist helping out the firefighters. Yeah. Trying to help out the firefighters, yeah.

But but there's somebody else that J.D. Vance was going after. No, you've heard of something called the Clinton Foundation? Oh. I know that.

That's awesome. Three billion dollars kinda d uh Only three percent of the billions raised actually went to Somalia. The other went to the Clinton Foundation. Of course it did. And that's being investigated now.

Hillary's how dare you investigate her? She's above above the law. Oh, yeah, yeah. No one's above the law except for the Clintons. But here he's talking about the way they treat the people.

As I live, saith the Lord God, surely, Because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my flight. My shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves and fed not my flock. Therefore, O you shepherds, Hear the word of the Lord. Thus saith the LORD God, Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require my flock at their hands. and caused them to cease from feeding the flock.

Neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more. for I will deliver my flock from there. Mouth. that they may not be meet for them.

Now, Here, the DOJ just released I don't know if you saw this here, a report. that there is now An an uh uh official investigation into what Uh we've been reporting on uh Kenny, we've been reporting on this uh during Um The entire four years of Joe Biden's regime. The hatred, the hatred of Christians Um there's a real uh I mean, they really dug up a lot of stuff on that, how Does Biden hates Christians with a passion? His whole administration. Yep, he assaulted The assault on Christian life, Christian families, Christian marriages, Christian self-identities.

Christian educations. Uh Uh the faith and how uh They weaponized the D O J The FBI The IRS the Liberal courts, the Blue State Police, and at D C on that january sixth. Kelly.

Well even the CIA was used against against us. The G O the D O J used us enforcement and authority against parents, Who tried to defend their children's safety at the school board meetings? They had their houses raided and had charges for. Going to the school board meetings. Pro-lifers.

Trying to stand up for what's right. Pro-lifers were given three times the sentences In other words, where there was something at uh at an abortion mill where people were assaulted, When the pro-lifers were charged, and it didn't matter if they were guilty or not, especially in DC. They got three times the sentence that a pro-deather got. And Here they were given they went they were going after Home scores. Home schoolers were having their doors kicked in in the middle of the night.

And and um Oh. Here Also And that was by black booted thugs coming in. And breaking down their doors.

So, and right now, there's still a lot of pro-lifers, still uh. In prison, they were arrested for simply praying outside abortion mills. And so And then here, you know, when you talk about the the so-called shepherds, Um here They cause the people to sin against God. People like L. Sharpton, That lied.

saying and I heard him say this That the Bible condones abortion. The Bible condones it. He said, Yeah. He said the Bible justifies. That's a lie told by a liar, right?

He didn't misspeak, meaning to say condemns abortion. He actually said condones. Condones. Right. Yep.

The Governor of California, of Washington, and Minnesota, and soon to be New Jersey signed in legislation which Legalizing the killings of babies up to 28 days after they're born. After. This is. Right, this is infanticide, but This is taking place right now and Okay, and it's it got it's got to be stopped. This is what the ACLU Or they sell J, not they sell you.

They sell Jay's been fighting and fighting. And trying to we got to get that in accordance. you know, we have a big battle here And we're trying to overturn issue one of tw of twenty three. Mm-hmm. And so in we have a good chance, I think, of doing that, okay, with d with Judge Ingler, he was here with me Friday night.

And so You have these people here like Joe Olstein, Penny Henn Uh Paula White, Kenneth Copeland, almost Again, as we're talking about who they're convincing the elderly, these elderly people, these people. that are Uh You know, they're They're desperate. They they play on their on those that are desperate. Uh and uh they get them to s to send out what little they have left, okay. And so we're seeing all these things happening, but then We go for thus saith the LORD God, Behold, I even I will both search my sheep and seek them out, and Now You know, the Bible is not in chronological order.

So when you read scripture, You have to understand because it's like you're telling a story He's going to be talking about something that's happening in the future. He's going to be talking about the Millennial Kingdom. But then He'll go back. a couple of thousand years in the past and then bring it forward. And you have to be able to understand Scripture that way.

Uh, if you if you try to If you try to to study it like in a chronological order strictly, You end up with what they call a dog's breakfast of s of Doctrine is a little bit of everything in there, okay?

So here He goeth as a shepherd seeketh out his flock. In the day that he is among his sheep, that are scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of the places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and the dark day. And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them to their own land, Now this is during the Millennial Kingdom that this is going to take place. and feed them upon the mountains of Israel. by the rivers and all the inhabitants' places of the country.

And I will feed them in the good pasture and upon the high mountains of Israel. And shall their fold be? There shall they lie in good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they be fed. upon the mountains of Israel. And I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the LORD God.

Mm-hmm. We see this, we saw that it will start to take place. Zechariah chapter 13, the last few verses there. as there it enters in about to enter into the millennial kingdom. And I will seek that which was lost, and bring them again that which was driven away, And will bind up that which was broken, and I will strengthen that which was sick, but I will destroy the fat.

and the strong, and I will feed them with judgment. In other words, to say no, See, he's he's he's in the Millennial Kingdom. But he's already destroyed that he's already judged the wicked here. already and this is why and he's he's brought on The uh the tribulation period. For what what what is one of the purposes of the tribulation?

Period is the purification of Israel. but also the judgment of the heathen nations of the unsaved. And so he's doing that here. Uh he goes on to say And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord God, behold. I judge between the cattle and the cattle, between the rams and the goats.

So he's talking about the he's talking about The shape here or The people Those that say That he spoke about earlier, the ones that say, you know, we're listening to, we're with you, God, let's obey God. The ones that are that are s giving lip service and the ones that are actually doing it. And so there's where he says, but Uh here in the end He's talking about I gotta stop there because we're running out of time. But um I just wanted to say very quickly before we run out of time that You know, we are doers of the Word of the Baptist Church, we're looking for a few good bold. We want some bold patriots.

to stand fast for the cause of Christ with us, at doers of the Word Baptist Church.

We have a history of over forty years of uncompromising service to our Lord.

We hold fast to the Great Commission, As our mission one mission number one. And we have taken the lead. in the saving of over twenty four thousand preborn babies over the years. And and uh we have been a a thorn in the side of the death culture We hold fast to James 1:22. Be you a doer of the word, not a hearer, only deceiving your own selves.

So we need uh some help in the pro-life area, the prison ministry, the jail. And, you know, I'm looking for a a a young apprentice that I can to teach the radio program to. Uh hands on Teaching broadcasting. And so what do you think of that? I hope you find someone good.
