In 1966, Time magazine asked, Is God Dead? Now best-selling author Eric Metaxas takes that famous question and turns it around when he asks, Is Atheism Dead? In his bestseller titled Is Atheism Dead? Metaxas offers a provocative answer as he shows atheism to be not only implausible and intellectually sloppy, but also demonstrably ridiculous.

I'm gonna get you to pronounce it right. Yeah, I know. You know what happens?

I have a senior moment myself, but folks, keep them in your prayers. And remember, I told you to grab your ink pen to get ready for something. Now here's what I told you is to do real quick. A lot of users struggling with your gut, with your intestines, with your liver, with your colon. You're having trouble eating. You're taking preps and you're getting scoped. You're getting scanned. You're trying to find out what's going on with you. Do me a favor. Go on YouTube, type in Dr. Axe, A-X-E. Type in Dr. Berg, B-E-R-G. That's Dr. Axe, A-X-E. Dr. Berg, B-E-R-G. You know Dr. Glidden's on here once a month.

He's right in line with these guys. They got small videos, four minutes, eight minutes, 12 minutes. I have spent over 30 hours in the past two months getting my hands on everything. I went to the library, got Dr. Hyman's books, did my own journals and stuff, and I'm telling you, they will change your life.

You will get rid of the wheat, you'll get rid of the dairy, and you will clean yourself out. And these two doctors are so wonderful. They will help you.

Jesus said, my people perish because of lack of knowledge. What's right, what's left? This radio ministry not only deals like John and these guys said, with your salvation and broken heart, but we also want to heal the body without satanic drugs that kill the liver. So without further ado, Joe, it's back to you. All right, this is for big John. I've got some stuff I put aside, but your topic changed where I was headed.

I want to read his story, and then I'm going to, after the story, John, I'm going to do about three or four headlines, and then I want you to comment, because it ties in with, you were talking about these people that are in pain and suffering and mourning, sorrow, grief, fear, loneliness. Minnesota Elementary School music teacher claims the goal is to confuse students. We caught this teacher on tape, and the teacher is talking about a conversation with a co-worker, where the students had asked the other teacher whether the music teacher was a boy or girl, whether she was, she's one of those its, I guess, claims to be, I don't know. And the co-worker responded to the students, well, does it matter? So all the students started to reply, well, no, I guess it doesn't matter, I just can't figure it out. It's so hard, I just can't figure out if our music teacher is a, you know, what she is.

And the music teacher smiles and laughs, and she says, it was just like, that's the goal. That's the goal, she's a non-binary teacher. That's the goal, to confuse the students so they're confused, they can't figure out if their teacher is male or female. The other headline's in, New York teacher forced and manipulated fifth grader to become transgender, causing a suicide ideation suit. A little fifth girl, the teacher kept trying to call her back, or a boy's name, and just kept pushing, although this girl had never said she thought she was transgender, wanted to be, teacher pushed it, and she nearly committed suicide, but was caught and saved.

Insanity, now they claim there are 130 gender options, including gender beep, which I can't pronounce on a radio. San Francisco's guaranteed income for transgender people gives applicants 130 gender sexual orientation and pronoun options to identify someone. Married California teacher of the year has student pics and wallet as charges brought. She was sexually abusing and molesting a student, a former student who the teacher has called obsessive possessive controlling and dangerous predator in the court. A 34-year-old sixth grade teacher at Lincoln Acres Elementary School has been arrested and the victim was a 13-year-old that she had been having sex with, given jewelry with their initials, love letters, tax exchanges, and one time when the child didn't messenger back, she got real mad and sent threats to the victim.

Look, I've got to stack more of this stuff. I could probably spend 20 minutes reading more headlines that are sickening, but we did a story, I think a week or two ago, a past journey, 30% of the young girls in America considered suicide or were contemplating it, talking about it, worried about it. We've got children cutting themselves, taking drugs, doing all kinds of bad things, because what? They're scared, they're upset, they're pressure, and it comes back to when you said that we have these...how did you phrase it, John? I don't know. I don't have enough information. How do I phrase it? In your Bible study, you were talking about the sorrow, and people in mourning, lonely, fear.

Oh yes, oh yes. And the most depressed people in the United States right now, you touched upon it, high school girls, 60% of them are experiencing up to, they're incapacitated, they can't go to school, they can't learn. Out of that, 30% have been contemplating suicide. Out of that, a percentage, which I'm not sure, but I think it's 13, 14% have attempted suicide, and of course, some have been successful. Gentlemen, that was a CDC study that was recently published in the past 30 days, because I saw it, I don't know the numbers about how many had actually attempted, but I do know that that study came out and it was done by the CDC. Yeah, and part of all of this is the lockdowns because of COVID.

That's a big part of it, it brought big depression on them, wearing the masks was another one, useless masks. This is outright, the government trying to destroy the American people, they know perfectly well what they're doing, and they're trying to destroy our children. So what happens when you kick God out of America, you remove the Bible, because see, when we have a Bible, we can open it and say, wait a minute, you're saying homosexual is normal, well God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for it. Wait a minute, you're teaching them how to perform oral sex and put condoms on carrots. Wait a minute, the Bible says fornication before you're married, that's a sin. See, that's why they had to get the Bible out of the way because we can expose them for what they're trying to teach. But you need to get the kids out of the prison system.

You're absolutely right. They're being indoctrinated, and it's the basis of education. Our youth are terribly suffering with depression now, and the answer to it is the Lord and the power of the Holy Spirit and God's love in our hearts. That's what we need, our hearts healed, full of God's love, assurance of eternal life with Jesus Christ. We just got in, let me interrupt real quick, we got Susan in Illinois pledges $100, Charles in Michigan pledges $100, and Charles it's got a—how much? Charles in Michigan is $100, and Connie in Minnesota pledges $300. Thank you so much, God bless you.

Very, very much. You know, I hear this stuff, and I'm thinking, Pastor Ernie started promoting 30, 40 years ago—I can't remember, I'm getting old—put your children in homeschool or Christian school. I've talked about, we helped build a Christian school for our children and others in the neighborhood, and it was so tremendously successful. The children were happy, healthy, got through high school in two years, got their high school diploma, gone to college, passed the test.

And folks, yes, it's hard. It takes time, effort, some money, but you fight to change the public full system. A lot of times right now, states are starting to go to the idea of being able to have a choice and put the money with the parent. Keep pushing that politically so that you live in a state where it says, okay, here's the money you can pick, whether you want a charter school, a Christian school, or you want to send your child. Because as long as we let the devil educate our children, we can never restore America. We can never become the nation God wants us to be until we get control of who is educating the children. That is one of the simplest facts on the face of the earth. I remember one of the leading lesbian spokesmen said, hey, it's one of the first rules of civilization that who controls the kids controls the future. And they were absolutely right. Hitler knew it, your tyrants know it.

The first thing they want to do is get control of the school, educate the children to believe in the state, to be little good, little obedient, useful idiots to the state. And that is the beginning of the end of freedom, religion, and everything good that we know. Well, Joe, think about this. John, think about this. Think about this.

Randy, Elaine, and those of you listen out there. If you have no fear of God, what is there to stop you to do anything other than well, if I get caught by the law, I'm in trouble. If there's no fear of God, all through the Bible, the fear of the Lord is beginning of wisdom. The fear of the Lord is beginning of understanding. The fear of the Lord is beginning of knowledge. Thou shall not, thou shall not, why? There's a hell, there's a consequence. When my father, when your parents disciplined you, they said, son, I'm going to warn you and tell you this one time, and if you break my laws, here's what's going to happen. All right, there's a certain fear.

Hey man, I can only go so far because I'm in trouble. Where is the fear of God anymore being preached in America? The other night, more people believe in heaven than believe in God.

They all think they're going to heaven, but they don't believe that there's a God who made the heavens. There's a real disconnect. John, what was you going to say? You can't give much bigger disconnect than that, can you? Yeah, we have to get our children out of schools, whether it's homeschooling, Christian school, private school, we can't allow them. Can you imagine the damage done to the children when they're being told at five years old they might be a girl, and they're boys, and you're a girl, and they're teaching them, maybe they're being molested?

I mean, the damage that's done to these children, and the schools are breeding ground now. We no longer have the respect of a woman. These idiots in government can't even tell you what a woman is. We've lost respect of a woman, and they've turned them into a sex object.

Where do men open up the doors, buy them flowers, put them on a pedestal, love and cherish them? Women dress a lot of, not all of them, I'm not using a broad brush, in the schools, they look like little Madonna's. We lost how to make ladies, and to turn them into women, to turn them into wives. The feminist movement has helped destroy this.

When a real woman in the book of Proverbs, a woman virtuous, when you see a woman who acts and carries herself, there's something special that God made for a man to honor a woman. Where is that in American society? It's dwindling.

Amen. If you look at any of the Hollywood stuff, or if you look at any of the social media, it's all about, we have this called Celebrity Worship Syndrome, they figured out back in, I can't remember what it was, quite a few years ago. And that's where they claim that the majority of the people in Western civilization spend their time, their talent, their treasure, in worshiping their celebrities, following their celebrities on a fake book and on their private accounts and all this.

They have this fans only accounts out there I've read about, where these famous people are, you know, doing titillating, sexual posing and you know, whatever, fetish dressing, all this. And these women are making millions of dollars a year selling pictures of themselves doing naughty things. And it's just, everything is against, you know, the idea, like you said, of a woman. The feminists have created women as total sex objects. In fact, the women using the capitalist system to get rich over selling themselves as a sex object, at the same time, they're trying to claim they want it all. And yet they're going backwards, not forwards. And that is just simply the gospel truth. They're going backwards.

They're going back into slavery in a sense, except they're making money for it, but they're having to sell their soul to do it, which is slavery. Now, you men out there know what I'm talking about. You walk into a restaurant or a shopping place and you see a woman with her hair's done really nice. She went to the beauty shop, had it made up, nice earrings. She's got a beautiful dress on, a nice set of high heels. She looks elegant.

She stops traffic. Not that she's a tramp or provocative. That's how God designed the man to desire for the woman. And we're losing that. It's far and few behind.

Hey, we just got in a pleasure. Rosemary in Pennsylvania pledged one hundred. Carol in San Diego pledges one hundred. Anonymous in Ohio pledges one hundred and fifty. Thank you so much.

So why not take the plant and no side effects? And John McTernan, what is your Web site so people can get all I see I got your name right because you're not wearing Ohio State thing. So, John, what is what is your email address so people want to get a hold of some of the material that you have?

Yeah. And I'll give some more details later. But my Web site is U.S. a prophecy dot com U.S. a prophecy dot com. And my email is M.C.T. for McTernan M.C.T. nine one one at a o l dot com.

And if anyone feels they need to be praised for for healing of a broken heart email me and in the subject put prayer. And I won't miss that as spam. And one more real quick.

I have a lot of people say, Coach, I've heard you on the radio what Pastor Sanders for years and I can't get your TV programs. Got a pen? Here's what you do. Write this down. B a t dot vibe it v i e b i t dot com.

That's bat b a t dot vibe it v i e b i t dot com. When you go click on the Web site, scroll on the left hand side, go down to the public access channel, click on the public access channel and then look for the fire or the fire report. Those are two different programs that I got. That's the fire or the fire report. Each program runs for two weeks and there's always three up there and I've got one coming up on a special that I did in a couple weeks.

It's going to be on suicide and it's going to be on all another show that you're going to really enjoy. I did a complete study on the centurion. So now Joe Larson, it's all yours. I've got one more of those things I wanted to get across to people and we can get comment on it. Biden tries to boost pay for federal bureaucrats at the highest rate since the Carter administration. He's been accused of prioritizing woke and bloated agencies.

I got into this. I was looking at the figures and they've already got the 7 trillion tax and spend and blah, blah. Now they've got this huge raise which is way higher than anybody in the private sector is making. Skip all these details. It's full of facts and figures.

But here is the story. This budget, this $7 trillion budget and this new pay raise is designed to get votes from the federal government workers because they are the constituency, key constituency of the Democrat Party. About 90% of the $78.9 million in federal campaign contributions by government unions went to question.

Anybody have an answer? Democrats, right? It looked like the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest union of federal employees. Well, almost 96% of their money, their millions went to Democrats. The National Active and Retired Federal Employee Association contributed about a million dollars and again, almost 90% Democrats. The National Treasury Employees Union, 96.9 went to Democrats. Does anybody see kind of a pattern going here?

New 87,000 IRS agents they want to hire would be added to the government payroll, would only cost $470 billion, just about half a trillion dollars that they put into that Inflation Reduction Act, right? Do you see a pattern of what the left does? And the pattern is they are always trying to buy votes.

They're calling people to the trough. They're throwing free stuff out there. They're giving benefits to people in return for their votes. And this is the secret to the Democrats' success.

And if people would just wake up and realizing they're sacrificing their children's health, wealth, future, they're sacrificing so much of their freedom for what? An awesome slop from the government trough. And it's usually money they took from you in the first place.

They take a dollar and give you back a few cents in the dollar. Oh, look, we're benevolent. Look how wonderful we are. We just raised your union due to your pay. We gave you this or that. There is no free lunch. It is all a just a plan to get your votes.

Does anybody want to come in or disagree with me? Got in a pledge from Carol in San Diego pledges 100. Anonymous in Ohio pledges 150.

And Arlene Chicago pledges 50. Thank you so much. God bless.

And yes, Rosemary in Pennsylvania pledges one hundred dollars. Thank you so much. All right. We keep it going. If we can exceed tonight the goal, we will be well on our way to matching that twenty five thousand dollar special pledge we have a goal.

What is the goal? Well, what we have what we have, John, is that we have a person who dangle who's said that if we can match twenty five thousand, they'll do twenty five thousand. So they put up twenty five in order for us to get it. We need twenty five tonight above our that's above our normal donation.

That's an upright above our normal donations. And we are over. We've had a good week this week. I'm going to tell tell the people there, but we're nowhere near twenty five thousand.

No way. And so what I want to say is, is that if we can close it out, it will certainly help. But every little bit helps anyway. So, you know, it we'd have to do as much as we did this week to get the grant, if you will, the twenty five thousand dollar grant, because we're there, but we're not above that because we had to do what we do.

Plus, so long, long story short, thank you very much. We need tonight. We still need. How much do we need tonight? What what we need tonight to get that would be about eighteen thousand five hundred. And we we need to do that in about twenty, twenty, twenty five minutes. So if somebody could do that, then, yeah, we could match it.

If we get someone from the House of Representatives or the Senate that says Ernie, that would be nice. Well, well, but our anonymous donor on the one that match it with the five thousand block said that it was OK, that we could have it. So but everybody's not going to do that.

No, no. So so so we got is good. And I'm saying like obviously we want that.

We need that. But and maybe there's and I'm sure there's somebody sitting there who can do this or two or three people, because what we can do is that come on, give me four fives. And then we'll do it because the person that set the twenty five thousand of also said that as long as we did it together, we could get it.

So you could get to twelve, twelve and a half. You could get five fives. However you want to do it. But we need to do it. But we but so far we've only had one person step up this week and do the five thousand dollar match. So we're just we put it in the Lord's hand, all we do is ask you to prayerfully consider and, you know, have some crowns and treasures in heaven.

And I don't want to beat up the people. I don't want to beat up our consistent donors. You guys know that we don't do that. We're not that kind of ministry. We depend on the Lord.

But remember this. You're his hands. And in this case, you're God's pocketbook.

So, you know, we're coming to you and asking, you know, if you feel the tug on your arm, you know, from the Lord on your heartstrings, please help us, because we know that where God guides, he provides. So if you have any some of you who have never given before and you always hear radio is the only thing that's not free. But they advertise all the time. And we don't advertise. We have a partnership with our listeners and we're not in this. Nobody makes any money.

Nobody makes a single dime. We're all volunteers and all donations pay bills. That's all we do with them. And so we don't utilize things like sponsors. We're not trying to sell you a new mattress or T-shirt or whatever is on, you know, something else.

I hate to interrupt you, Joe, but everybody needs to know it's only for the air time. Amen. Nothing else. We don't get paid.

We don't get we don't get a Hershey bar. Well, here's what the Bible says about this in Matthew Chapter six. It's a couple of verses.

Chapter 19. Folks out there, listen, when you don't like to this radio minister, here's one of the things. Lay not up treasures for yourself upon earth, your bank account, your checkbooks and your IRA programs, where moth and rust doth corrupt and where thieves break through and steal. But lay up for yourself treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust, your cars, your boats doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through to steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be. God talks about treasures in heaven. You support this radio ministry. You are storing up treasures in heaven when you leave planet Earth. Amen. Remember, we're pilgrims. This world is not my home. I'm just a passing through. Absolutely.

The hearse doesn't pull the you haul it. And I'm going to tell everybody out there how much you're going to leave when you die. You're going to leave all of it. Hey, we've got about two minutes.

We got about two minutes before we come to the bottom of the hour break with a song. But what I want to leave you tonight with because you guys have been so kind to let me sit in and come into your living room or wherever you're at in the bedroom. Here's what I want to leave you with.

I have a few things here. Fear God. Read the King James Bible and take heed of all of God's word.

Trust him and obey. Folks, forgive everyone of everything. I mean everything every day. Thank God for things. Your food, your clothes, your running water, flushing toilets, a place to sleep that you all let your hearts. Thank him every day. Take the time out every day and thank him.

Thank God for your family, your friends, your pastors. Help one another. Help those who cannot return your favors. Do things for people that can't buy things back for you.

Help the poor support the food kitchens, a homeless shelter. And remember the orphans and the widows. If you see someone in need, help them with some money, some food, show some kindness, compassion. Always extend love and mercy and remember, key is the charity. Pray for others. Pray to God every single day. Make prayer mandatory in your life and also pray for your family and friends' salvation. Give money for whatever you make right off the top first and foremost of what you earn. Give it to God.

Trust God, not the money, not your wallet. Remember, we serve a supernatural, almighty, powerful, loving God and he promised to supply all your needs. So when you do things and you make your requests, be still and know he is in God. Last but not least, love one another. Husbands love your wives. Cherish them. Honor them. Lift them up.

Build them up. Encourage them. Thank them always for everything to do. Wives, love your husbands. Put them on a pedestal as well.

Tell them you're glad that he's your husband and he helps pay the bills. Show respect to one another. Cherish one another.

Surprise one another and do good to one another. And with that being said, I know we didn't have time tonight to get to this topic, but this is a song that John McTernan always talks about when he does come on the air. And that's the mark of the beast, the tribulation and the antichrist.

John, this is for you. In the holy Bible, when the beast shall walk among us, many shall fall away. Famine, war and desolation.

Nation rising against nation, trouble everywhere you tune. As in the time of Noah, in the days before the flood, sin will cool the love of many and the streets will run with blood. Rape and murder, grief and sorrow, just like Sodom and Gomorrah, this world is gonna burn. I believe that we are living in the days John wrote about. The end times are upon us and that there is no time to show your mind out of the world and take your Bible off the shelf.

Read the book of revelations for yourself. Tribulation, I don't want to be here. Tribulation, when that flaming star comes down. Tribulation, when the seven seals are broken and the seven boughs are open and the seven trumpets sound. As quick as lightning streaks from east to west across the sky, God's faithful ones will disappear in the twinkling of the night.

Many are called, but few are chosen. Brother, don't let your heart be frozen. Don't you want to go? This world would be in bondage under Satan's evil power. The antichrist will rule until that final glorious hour, when pain and sorrow disappear and God will wipe away our tears, joy forevermore. I believe that we are living in the days John wrote about. The end times are upon us and that there is no time to show your mind out of the world and take your Bible off the shelf.

Tribulation by Charlie Daniels. Hey, I'm not going to be here. A lot of you don't believe in the rapture, but guess what?

See ya! My sins have been paid for. I am born again. I am sealed until the day of redemption.

Are you? Hey, you're listening to What's Right, What's Left, The Voice of the Christ Resistance. My name is Duane Riskel sitting in for Pastor Ernie Sanders with a shoulder injury, but he's got it repaired now. And without further ado, let's turn it over to big John McTernan. Well, uh, how much time do I have left? Well, we got about 20 minutes. Oh, you're giving me 20 minutes. Well, John, I'd like to throw one thing at you before you start.

I've got a, it's kind of a prayer request from me. 17. 17. 17 minutes. 17 minutes, John.

Add this to your list. Headlines of the story. It's like a graveyard.

Record number of migrants are dying at the U.S. border. And the story was talking about the, some local people there around Negros. They were talking about when the families go to the river or having picnics, they often see bodies floating by or bobbing among the reeds under the bridge. We've had times when we receive four or five bodies a week. Hugo Gonzalez, owner of Gonzalez Funeral Home. At one point there were a lot of corpses and there was nowhere to put them.

We just didn't have enough refrigerators at the funeral home. And they're talking this number now somewhere in there. They're talking hundreds, 800 something.

And can't find the number, but I remember reading through it. I had some quick notes and it said also there were many, many hundreds more were reported missing, didn't make the crossing. So we've got hundreds dead.

They had to go buy refrigerator unit trucks down there to put the bodies and there were hundreds they just kind of count for. And I think we need to pray for some of those poor people who have already been raped, sold themselves into slavery and everything else and then die trying to get here. And too often I don't think anybody, I haven't heard anybody praying for those people, John. I thought maybe you guys are at the studio would do that tonight, you and Coach and Randy. Well, absolutely.

I mean, you brought it up. It's on your heart and it's something that we'll do. The only thing I suggest is that God's put it on your heart and lead us some prayer over it. And we'll pray along with you.

Amen. Praying. Dear Lord, I just, and I want all the listeners out there to pray with us because every one of you will need prayer. Everyone will need it sometime. And Scripture tells us there's a prayer of the righteous is powerful and the more of us to pray, the more God hears, the more he appreciates the prayer.

So join me and all of us, all of them at the studio. Dear Lord, when I looked at that story, tears came to my eyes. Combat soldier, seeing people die, seeing people living in poverty, seeing some horrible things. But the picture of these people, the young, the old, the weak floating down a river where families are going to have a picnic and they're watching bodies flow by or stuck in the, you have to keep their kids away because there's a body floating in the rushes and the weeds. Lord, this kind of thing just breaks your heart to know that these people have risked their lives.

They spent money, they've traveled a huge distance, and they've been led, controlled by cartels, led by lies, false claims, and they are suffering, dying in the heat, being lost, kidnapped, turned into slavery. Lord, it sounds worse than some of the sins back in the Bible of the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. And we would just lift these people up, Lord, that you would touch the hearts of our leaders, that they would do what's necessary to stop this horrific loss of life, this slavery, all the sins that are happening with it, and that some of these people, Lord, that would get to know you before, that you would just have mercy and bless them every way possible, and just be what this nation needs to repent. Lord, turn to you so bad that we would just realize the sins that this nation is committing. And like scripture says, if my people, not the world, not the whole country, but my people repent and turn from their ways, then you will hear and heal the land. And my prayer tonight is that people will start repenting, start being Christian soldiers, fighting the fight and reproving and rebuking and speaking out and standing in the gap and all the things that you've asked us to do, Father. But I just ask you to be with all those poor people that are suffering and dying. In Jesus' name.

Amen. Very quickly, and I know Jim from Massachusetts gave his weekly challenge, his pledge week challenge. He's put up $600. If we can get either six ones, twelve fifties, two three hundreds, however we do it, then he will put up another $600.

And Jim does this. So we got our final $600 challenge here. And come on, folks, we can do this. We just got from Tony in Ohio, pledged $75. Anonymous in Michigan pledged $500.

God bless you to go along with Jim's $600. OK, so right on with it. Very good.

Yeah. How much time do we have left for Big John? We got ten minutes, John. The floor is yours. You got the spotlight. OK. OK, I tell you what, at five minutes, I want you to interrupt me to give an update, OK? You got it.

OK. So the gospel of Jesus Christ is, or the ministry, there's a difference between the gospel and the ministry. The gospel is part of his ministry. So let's go to Luke 4 18 and let's follow this right down as the Lord has laid it out for us. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he anointed me to preach the gospel, the good news to the poor. The gospel is that Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, sinless, died on the cross, shed his blood to pay the price for our sin.

He was buried and he rose again from the dead, bodily rose again from the dead three days later. That's the gospel. And so that's how we have assurance of eternal life with God, by receiving the gospel through repentance. The Bible says that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in Christ's name beginning in Jerusalem. God will forgive you.

I don't care what your background is. God doesn't say you'll be forgiven, except he will, if you repent, anybody listening will repent. Do an about face from sin and turn to Jesus Christ and his word.

God will then accept you. So repentance and then believing the gospel for God so loved the world, that's you, that he gave his only begotten Son, that's Jesus, the sinless, only begotten Son of God, to die on the cross. He was sinless, we're full of sin, and it's a trade. God takes our uncleanness, our unrighteousness, and he puts it on Jesus on the cross, and then God imparts his righteousness into us. And we're forgiven. We can now go to heaven.

So that is absolutely needed. And then the confession that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

And then when that happens, God is our Abba Father, and we can develop a tremendous intimate relationship with God. So I'm going to say a quick prayer now. And if that's your heart's desire, pray along with me. God, I now repent of my sin, I turn around about faith, I face Jesus Christ and his Word.

I believe that on the cross Jesus died and paid the penalty for my sin. And I believe he rose again the third day, and he's coming back, and that he is my Savior, and you now are my Abba Father. I'm going to pray now for the healing of the broken heart. The Bible says, a new heart will I put within you, a new spirit will I put within you. I will take the stony heart out of the flesh, and give you a heart of flesh. And by the way, folks, to have your heart healed, you must forgive.

Whoever, whatever broke your heart, Jesus Christ on the cross said, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. So Lord, I'm praying now for the healing of the broken hearts, Lord. I'm praying for those hearts that have been broken through divorce. I was a product of divorce.

It did serious damage. I'm not getting into any details about it, but divorce, God hates divorce. I'm asking for the healing of it, Lord. I'm asking for those that grew up in a family or marriage, verbal abuse, you heal the broken hearts. Physical abuse, you heal the broken hearts. Take that stony heart out and give them a heart of flesh. Those that grew up facing wrath and hatred, it also could be in a marriage, Lord. Forgive them, heal them, Lord.

Anyone that was sexually abused, and I'm praying now that special healing for those that suffered the trauma, that sexual abuse at any age, it could be at a very young age, heal those that you came to heal the brokenhearted. Lord, anybody that was a molested, heal them, Lord. Heal the homosexuals, Lord. Your power is greater than that sin. You deliver us from bondage, and if they repent and turn to Christ, they can be forgiven and heal their hearts, which have been damaged and strongholds to go along with it. Lord, heal us from alcoholic personalities, drug personalities. Free us, Lord.

You've come. You've sent me to heal the brokenhearted. Lord, severe trauma. It could be from an accident. It could be from being subject to a terrible crime, Lord. Heal us from that. Lord, death, being subject to a death in the family, death of a loved spouse, a child, Lord, that can do deep damage. You sent the comforter, Lord, so we're asking through the comforter, you heal our broken hearts from that. And Lord, war. Those that have gone through war, Lord, they developed post-traumatic stress disorder, but we can develop that through a broken heart. So Lord, we want your name glorified by healing your people of post-traumatic stress disorder, Lord. Heal that nervous system that's been overloaded, and it's full of fear, and it affects our thinking, our health, Lord. In Jesus' name, fill our hearts with your peace that will cure, heal us from post-traumatic stress disorder. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Take that spirit of fear out of us in Jesus' name and replace it. Fill us with your power and your love and a sound, a strong mind, Lord, not bent and twisted by fear. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for salvation. Thank you for healing us, Lord, from all of the damage done by living in a sin-cursed world, Lord.

Some of it's of our own. Some of it is put on us, Lord, by sinful people. But Lord, restore your people in power, love, a sound mind, Lord. Fill us, Lord, with joy, all those that are depressed. I'm asking that the joy of the Lord is our strength, that we feel joy, joy with the blessed hope, looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing. It's time to interrupt you, John.

I have to interrupt you for a moment. Anonymous in Minnesota pledged $5,000. Karen in Pennsylvania pledged $50. Nicole in Florida pledged $1,000.

Anonymous in North Carolina pledged $700. Thank you so much. God bless you. Remember this, folks, and then we'll get back to John.

This is where no rust or thieves or moths are going to steal. When you get to the judgment seat, you are adding money into your rewards in heaven. Oh, oh, oh. Take it away, John.

Yes. Well, we must be out of time, and I'd like to go more, but we got the meat of it in. Salvation in Christ, and He sent me to heal the brokenhearted. So if you need prayer, please email me, MCT911 at AOL.com.

I prayed like this to the church once, and I asked the Lord Church, and I asked people that were suicidal to come forward for prayer, and 12 people came forward. 12. Some of this is life and death. I mean, now.

Now it's life and death. Well, John, what some people don't realize is every day they get up, they go to work, as it was in the days of Lot, as it was in Noah. They were given in marriage. They were building. They were planting. They were preparing banquets.

Nobody thought that the flood was going to come. Same thing in Sodom and Gomorrah. They were exchanging money, and everything was going on, and life was going good. They were given in marriage and going on, and then the fire came. Well, that's what death does.

If you don't have Jesus Christ as your Savior, no matter what kind of a wonderful life you're living, you're going to burn and burn and burn. Yes. Yes.

So you're absolutely right. So people can email me at MCT911atAOL.com. You can also call me, 717-309-0470, and we can arrange a question. Say that one more time, nice and slow, because people are writing.

717-329-0470. If I don't answer, leave a message, and I will get back to you. And if you write, put prayer in the subject so I don't miss it. And Jesus came, if the Son therefore shall set you free, you are free indeed. Make you free. Make you free. Not set you free.

Make you free. We'll be here till midnight, folks. We'll be here till midnight.

I can never feel this. Randy, Lisa, Elaine, and all the guys that's works here, thank you for allowing me to come in to your little radio and talk to you. Joe, how about closing us out tonight? I will.

I've got just enough time. Remember Romans chapter 10, verses 9 and 10, that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved, for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. You must believe, you must have faith, and you must go to the Lord like Jesus. His first word in ministry said, Repent.

You repent your sins to the Father, then you can ask the Son to become your Messiah, your Savior, Lord of your life, give you the Holy Spirit of God, and you can then become a child of the kingdom of born-again believer, a joint heir with Jesus in everlasting life. Very good. We got 30 seconds. Elaine, it was nice being here with you, meeting you this week.

Same here. Lisa, you always make my day. You're so happy when I come in here. You make me feel like I'm at home. Hey folks, remember, no matter what you do, love always wins, and Jesus is God. He's your only way. As we count this down, remember, always, always, always keep fighting the fight.
