Casper Sanders is always years ahead of the rest of the media telling you exactly what they're covering up. This is what's right, what's left. I tune in every chance I get to hear exactly what's going on with the voice of the Christian resistance. Unabashedly cutting through the rhetoric by exposing the hard topics facing our society and world.
A lot of the other news media don't pick up the news items like he does. And bringing to light the enemies of freedom who are out to steal your rights, your children, and enslaving you. To really get the truth out, I can tune into your show and hear the unvarnished truth.
Thank you. This is What's Right, What's Left with Pastor Ernie Sanders. Good evening and welcome to another edition of What's Right, What's Left on this 20th day of October 2024. I'm radio pastor Ernie Sanders and this is the voice of the Christian resistance and tonight my producer and co-host, none other than Ken, and I are about to dazzle you with the elegance of our orator. Or maybe better said, we're going to learn you a thing or two.
Yeah, that sounds about right. All right. There you go. And so we're going to start. The title of this message tonight, Ken, was They Have Rejected Me That I Should Not Rain. Not a good message there.
No. And we're going to start in 1 Samuel chapter 8. Well, actually, we're going to start in chapter 9, the last three verses. And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life, and he went from year to year in a circuit to Bethel and to Gilgal and to Mizpah, and judged Israel in all of those places. And his return was to Ramah, for there was his house, and there he judged Israel and there he built an altar unto the Lord. Now, that area, his area, was much bigger than those three that I just mentioned, Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah.
So what he did, but that was his circuit. And so he had his two sons as priests to help him. And it came to pass that when Samuel was old that he made his sons judges over Israel. Now, here, Samuel had judged Israel most all of his life. He was the very last judge, Ken, of Israel. And his tenure actually began before the death of Eli, who was his predecessor and the high priest. And Eli also served as a high priest, but also was the judge of Israel for like 40 years, before he died. And the interesting thing, too, about Eli, that the Ark of the Covenant was carried away by the Philistines on the very day that Eli died. And so he goes on to say, Now the name of the firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second was Abi'i, and they were judges at Beersheba.
And his sons walked not in his ways. He turned aside after Lucre, and they took bribes, and they perverted judgment. What does that sound like to you, maybe, Mary Garland, Judge Chukin? Sounds like the justice system we have going on today. It sounds just like the judges we have today, doesn't it? And so here, and especially taking the bribes and the payoffs and things, and then, And all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together and came to Samuel at Remah, and said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways.
Now make us a king to judge like all the nations. So here now they came, but maybe they might have had an alternative motive, too. You see, you notice something that God has kind of like really high standards, where it comes to sin, and as a judge, you know, they thought, well, you know, the other nations, they have kings, and those kings let them get away with things that God doesn't let us get away with, right? And so that might have been their motive.
And, of course, they had a good reason there with his sons, Joel and Abi, because those two guys were really corrupt people. But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, Give us a king to judge us, and Samuel prayed unto the Lord. And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee, for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. Now, you know, as a pastor, I know that sometimes, Ken, you know, my message makes some people uncomfortable and unhappy. And people don't like to hear the truth sometimes. No, because the truth is hate to those that hate the truth. And Joel Osteen says that's why he hasn't preached against sin at all in 40 years, or not 40, 20 years, because you know, it just makes people unhappy to hear the truth.
Too bad! Yeah. And so, here, God is, and sometimes, you know, us pastors know we can't take these personally. When we preach, first of all, the only one that we're preaching to please is the Lord. When I'm preaching, my message is the only one that I'm out there to please is Him, okay? He's the boss. And you're not trying to please the congregation, make them all rosy, and... No, my job is to tell them what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.
Exactly. And then my job is to lead by example. And that is to be, to lead with boldness and speak with authority. See, I speak with absolute authority because it's not my authority, it's the Word of God right here. So I'm speaking the Word of God, and that's the absolute authority right there. That's why, when I've gotten in trouble out there on the streets for preaching, in front of those bloody abortion mills, and I've ended up in court by myself, I defend myself in my own venue. And that's what the King James Bible is, the only Bible you can use, because it's the only Bible that's an authorized law book by a sovereign nation.
And most nations will let you use this. So I go in there by myself, with my venue, with my book, and 15 minutes of this book, they just want me out of the court. They don't want to hear any of it.
Right. And here now, I had one judge that did. The judge ordered me to tell the court every single word of my conversation with this man named John. When she didn't know what she was doing, it was saying, because every single word, I preached to John on Heaven and Hell, on Heaven and Hell. So for over an hour, I said, are you sure?
She said, yes. I preached right from the Bible. Everybody in there, my lawyer's mouth was hanging wide open. They were stunned.
They were just stunned. But the Word of God was there, and that judge was hanging on to every word. And it worked out really good. Good. I hope you reached some people in the courtroom as well.
Yeah, we did. And so he goes on to say here, According to all their works, which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and have served other gods, so do they also unto thee. Now therefore hearken unto their voice, albeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and show them the manner of the king that shall reign over them. Well, you know, God is omniscient. He knew he had, he knew all about who was going to be the king, and he knew exactly what he did. He told them, he knew what he was going to do. First of all, he's going to draft all your men into the military, all your young men. Second, he's going to make cooks and maidens, you know, out of all the women, the young girls, he's going to draft them, too. He's going to tax you ten percent on everything you own, your chickens, your cows, your sheep. And then he's going to put down, lay down laws that are going to be very tough on some of you. And so, after he told them all this, after he told them all this, and you shall cry out in that day, because your king shall, to which you shall have chosen, and the Lord will not hear you in that day.
Nevertheless, the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel, and they said nay, but we will have a king over us. Okay? Boy, some folks never learn, huh?
No. It's kind of a big, careful what you wish warning right there. Yeah, you're not kidding. And so, here, when he said, they have rejected me, Thursday at a rally there in Michigan, Kamalik had a rally there, and some Christians got into the rally where all the communists were, and they yelled out, Jesus is Lord, Jesus Christ is Lord, and Kamalik said, you're at the wrong rally. You need, there's no place for that here.
You need to go down the road, because Trump was in Michigan, too, over to the other rally. So Kamalik said, there's no room for Christians here. Now, here, when that happened, you had mostly, I would probably say, I was scanning the crowd there, and I would say 70, at least 70, maybe closer to 80 percent of those there in that crowd were women. I hardly saw any men at all. But if there were men there, they were more than likely very effeminate. Not real bold, not men, not masculine men. But anyhow, more than likely very reprobate.
Probably, I would say, from what I've seen in the past, LGBTQ males, not men, but males, and so on, and so here. But the women there, these feminists, they're wicked. They're baby killers.
They are baby killers, baby killing women, feminists. And God's word, the Bible says that they're unclean. In fact, if you read Hosea, chapter 4, verse 12, it says they've gone whoring, okay, in their uncleanness. And these are what the Bible refers to as the unclean thing. That touch not. Touch not the unclean thing.
Not even touch these women. And so, here, at the same time that Camelot was telling his Christians to go down to the road, there's no room for Christians here or Christ here, you had Governor Whitmore blaspheming the Lord's table, giving communion in a blasphemous way, mockery to lesbians. And so this is what you have out there today with these people. It's not a good thing, is it? No, not at all. It baffles me to this day, any Christian that would call themselves a Democrat after what we've seen from them in the past. I mean, even the past, not just the past four years, the past like 20 years, maybe even longer. Well, by definition today, Democrat, if someone says to me, okay, I'm a Democrat, and that's all I'm going to tell you right there, here's what I think, knowing what the party has come to.
More than likely, if it's a male, I'll say more than likely you're a pedophile, you're a good chance you're a homosexual, you're probably effeminate. You hold it towards communism. There's nothing good that I can say because of what has taken place today. The party has been so corrupted. Their platform is so, so, so corrupted. And here, if they say they're female, how would they know? Because they don't know. They don't know what a woman is.
Yeah. And I'd have to say, are you sure that you are? But anyhow, I would say, number one, they're pro-death. They're very pro-death. They hate God. Oh, they hate God. To be a Democratic woman, you have to hate God. And you're prone to whoredom.
You're prone to whoredom. So I would say, again, it's the same thing with their platform. Today, right now, if you could invent a new sin tonight, tomorrow it would be in their party platform.
And that's what they have degenerated into. Now I want to go over to 2 Kings chapter 6 and start with verse 8 and read all the way through 23. But here we read, now, listen to this carefully.
Listen as we go through this here. Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall my camp, shall be my camp. And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place, for thither the Syrians have come down. And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself three, not once, saved himself there, not once, not twice.
In other words, a number of times was he tipped off about where there was going to be an ambush. Therefore, the heart of the king of Syria was troubled, was sore troubled for the thing that he called his servants and said unto them, Will you not show me which of us is for the king of Israel? And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king. But Elisha the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
Okay. So here now, Elisha is completely aware of the plans of the king of Syria. And so he knew exactly what he was thinking. You know, God showed to him, revealed to him, everything that the king of Syria was thinking. And so here now, it's an interesting thing because, knowing this, he was just told the king of Syria was just told that everything you say, you know, that Elisha the prophet knows, right? So after being told that, he goes on to say, and he said, Go and spy where he is that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
Well, Dothan. So now he knows that Elisha knows that he's sending his armies to come get him. Therefore went he to their horses and chariots and a great horse, host, and they came by night and encompassed the city. And when the servants of the man of God was risen early and gone forth, behold, the host encompassed the city, both with horses and chariots, and his servants said unto him, Alas, my master, how shall we do? So now his servant looks out and he sees hundreds of chariots surrounding the entire city, and he's saying to himself, We're cooked. We're cooked. We're surrounded.
What are we going to do now? You know, the interesting thing is, here, one chariot came for Elijah. Elijah, if we go over to chapter 2, verse 12, or verse 11 here, let me read this. There was one chariot, one angel came, and says this. And Eliza fell down through a lattice in his upper chambers and was in Samaria and was sick, and he sent, no, I got it on the page now, and it came to pass as they still went on and talked, that behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and a horse of fire, and departed them, and part of them both asunder, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. So Elijah puts the mantle on Elisha, and then he goes up in a chariot, in a whirlwind, a chariot of fire. And so, here, let me ask you about this chariot of fire. If you had never seen, for example, a modern day car, and because Ezekiel, he tells you about the vision of all of these chariots of flame rushing to and fro up and down the roads, if you had never seen a modern day car with electric lights, and you were to see these things, you would probably say, well, that light is made by fire, right?
Because that's all. And so, here, it looks like, probably could have possibly been, he was taken up with some kind of a modern day spaceship or something, okay? Or maybe not. Maybe God used an actual chariot of fire. God doesn't have any limitations, does he?
No, no, not at all. I mean, it could have been either or. Yeah. And so now, here, and so we go on, and the king of Syria, he sends his armies over there, and they show up, and now Elijah's servant's looking out, he's seeing these chariots all surrounding the city, and he says, things are not going well here for us tonight. And so what happens is, Elijah says to him, and he answered, Fear not, for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. So now his servant's looking out, and all he's seeing is the opposition.
He's not seeing anybody with us, okay? And Elijah prayed and said, Lord, I pray that you open his eyes, and he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around about Elijah. Now, how many, the Bible tells you how many horses and chariots God owns. How many do you think it is? Oh, I would think it's infinite. That's what it is, innumerable. The word is innumerable, horses and chariots. And so he looks out, and now he sees these chariots of fire surrounding the Syria. All they needed was just one chariot of fire, but they're surrounded now, right?
But you know what? The Syrian soldiers didn't know it. Nope, they didn't see it. No, they didn't see it at all, because, and when they came down to him, Elijah prayed to the Lord and said, Smite this people, I pray thee with blindness. And he smote them with blindness, according to the word of Elijah. And Elijah said unto them, This is now, this is not the way. So here, right, they've come to look, they've smote with blindness. What do you think was going through their minds? Here, all of a sudden, you're there with all these people, and all of a sudden you can't see. So you holler out.
And it's not just you, it's everyone. Right. Yeah, no, I can't see either. Oh boy. What about you, Joe? Can you see? No, I can't see either. Oh, then all of a sudden.
And ammonium. Yeah, well, Elijah says, This is not the way. You're going to see Elijah the prophet, right? Now, he's talking to them, but they don't know, because they can't see who he is, right? So he says, Here, follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek, right? And so he's telling the truth, he's going to bring them to himself, but he's going to do it in Samaria. But he led them to Samaria, and it came to pass when they were coming to Samaria, that Elijah said, Lord, open the eyes of these men that they may see.
And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw, and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria. Now the king of Israel, he's got them surrounded. He's got them surrounded.
This is what he's been waiting for, because like the deep state keeps trying to knock off President Trump. Here, the king of Syria kept trying to assassinate the king of Israel. And so now, here's the king of Israel, and here they are, his enemies, at his mercy. Right at his mercy, right? And so, and he says, And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, Oh, my father, shall I smote them, shall I smote them?
And he says, No. That ain't what the king of Israel wanted to hear. Can you imagine today, Netanyahu, can you imagine in a similar situation with Netanyahu, getting, surrounding all of Hezbollah, and the Palestinian army there? Can you imagine him? I think it would take a prophet Elisha to keep him from wiping him out, wouldn't it?
Yeah. And he answered, Thou shalt not smite these, wouldst thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive? They're your prisoners. With thy sword, with a bow, he set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master. What is said to have, this was not sitting well with the king of Israel, I can tell you. And he prepared great provisions for them, and he knew he had to obey Elisha, right? Because he knew Elisha had God's ear.
And here, the way it worked, and you know, a lot of people don't understand this, but that hasn't changed. If you read in Hebrews 13 verse 7 and 17, no matter what office you hold, you are supposed to go to the men of God and say, What sayeth the Lord God? And before you do anything, before you make decisions and that, you're supposed to call upon the men of God and say, What sayeth the Lord God?
Very few do that. And so, now there are some good godly men. I spent Friday with one, Bernie Marino. He believes the way we do. I mean, he's 100% in. And, you know, he's in for God, country, family, pro-life. He's like us, pro-life with no exceptions. Good.
It's good to hear that, because there's too many rhinos out there that just fake it. And the good news is, too, he's actually matching Sherrod Brown, fundraising. Now, Marino's money, 80% of it's coming from the state of Ohio.
With Sherrod Brown, 80% of it comes from outstate, from California, New York, outside the state. We can understand why, huh? Yep.
I don't understand how they allow that. So it goes on and he says here, And they prepared great provisions for them, and when they had eaten and drunk, he went their way, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel. Well, that didn't last very long.
They came no more right away, but not too far distance, they came back. And it came to pass after this that Ben Haddad, king of Syria, gathered all his hosts and went up and besieged Samaria. Now, what kind of message do you think God was sending to the king of Syria when instead of killing all his soldiers, he gave them bread and water and sent them back? What do you think he was saying about how he felt that his army was much of a threat to God?
Well, you didn't think it was much of a threat at all. Right. And so now... And he showed them mercy and sent them back and, you know, hoping that maybe probably that that would resonate, you know, you would think, you know, but it obviously didn't. Well, the message was don't do it again. Which obviously didn't get through.
Yeah. And there was a great famine in the land in Samaria, and behold, they besieged it until an ass's head was sold for four score priests of silver and the fourth part of a cab of dubs dung for the prices of silver. You're talking about real, real starvation, real famine, real famine in the land. And the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall when there cried a woman unto him saying help my lord, oh king. And he said, if the lord do not help thee, when shall I help thee?
Out of the barn floor or out of the wine press. And the king said unto her, what aileth thee? And she answered, this woman here said unto me, give thy son that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow. So we boiled my son and did eat him. And I said unto her on the next day, give thy son that we may eat him, and she hath hid him, her son. Now do you know, do you know what the reason was that God brought such a harsh punishment on people, what their sin was? Killing their children.
That was, this is why he brought such a, when he reduced them to cannibalism. And so here now, where do you think, do you think America is in a lot of trouble? Yeah, yeah, it's not looking too good.
No. How many times have people said to me, Pastor, God's judgment is going to come on this country. And I've said, open your eyes and look around.
It's here, it's here. They've killed 150 of their own children. The sewers have run red with the blood of the innocent. You've got a half a million children, children missing. They've found 200,000 have died. You've got another half a million of convicted criminals loose on our streets. And now, here, you have over 100,000 dying each year from fentanyl alone. Yeah, and the thing is, too, with the convicted criminals, that's just the new ones. That's not the ones we already had. Oh, yeah. Yeah, there's millions and millions and millions.
And so, well, yeah, you know. I mean, they sent 13,900 convicted murderers. We're convicted of murderers. All these countries opened their prison doors. Now, those are the ones we know about.
Trump was right again. And they're wondering about why all these girls are being raped and murdered, right? And then you had another 14,000 convicted rapists turn loose on our people. And Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were the ones that did that, along with Mary Garland and Chris Ray and all of those in the deep state. They're the ones that have turned these people loose on the American public.
And so here now, I want to go, you know, first of all, today, you know, we face a much, much, much greater enemy than an army of cherries that the King of Israel was facing here. Through high tech, we have AI, we have laser beam, we have microwave, we have biowarfare. Well, we have the CIA, the FBI, and the NSA all have been weaponized against us. We have satellite spying. We have tracking by cell phones. We have cameras everywhere tracking. All of our conversations are recorded. This conversation is being recorded tonight, but not just by us. Yeah, not just by me. I mean, I got it going right now, but no, elsewhere. Yeah, but it's being recorded all across the country. And the intelligence agencies are recording this conversation.
We're infested by human traffickers, drug cartels, street gangs, bioweapons, and lawfare. But let me ask you, let me ask you this. In all of these combined, in all of these combined, are they any kind of a threat to God? No, absolutely not. So God is on the throne, correct? Yep. Is He in complete control? Always. Okay, so here now, the Left, the Antichrist, the Left, they're in for an extremely rude awakening, aren't they?
Yes, they are. Let's take a look at Psalm 103. See, God uses, He's got, He's got unlimited amount of weapons at His touch, doesn't He?
Yep. Now, here, if we go to Psalm 103, and we read verses 20 through 22. Bless the Lord, ye His angels, that excel in strength, that do His commandments, hearkening into the voice of His word. Bless you, the Lord, all ye host, ye ministers of His that is, that do His pleasure. Bless the Lord in all His works, in all the places of His dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my soul. Now, God has prepared His angels with the ability to accomplish all of His missions and to accomplish all of His missions that He would send them on. There's unseen spiritual warfare going on all around us, just like those angels that the servant couldn't see, they were there. Now, I know for a fact that I've had unseen forces work on my behalf over the years.
There's been a number of attempts, they've tried to kill me a number of times, and things just at the last, you know, second, just foiled their attempts. And so, I have no doubts at all that there's, but sometimes, even though we can't see it, we can feel it, can't we? Yeah. You can just feel that... Sometimes you just know. Yeah.
There's something going on there. Let's turn over to Isaiah, chapter 40. Isaiah, chapter 40, starting with verse 18. To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare unto Him? So, he's asking the question, who can you compare to God? Well, Obama kind of compared himself to God.
He tried. George Soros says he was a god. Oprah says that she's a source of her own salvation, so she's a god. And then, if we look through scripture, Naboth said that he was... not Naboth... I'm... Etheball.
Etheball. Etheball claimed to be a god. And boy, did God convince him he wasn't. And Nebuchadnezzar, for just a little while, thought he was a god, and God says, no, you're not a god.
You're a grass-eaten beast. And so he realized right away he wasn't a god at all. And then, of course, Herod the Magnificent, when they told him he was a god, he should have read his garment right then and said, no, no, no.
But he made a mistake, and he became worm food, huh? And so now here, God is going to get... every now and then in scripture we see God using a little sarcasm. And so he says, oh, the workman, he melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spread it over with gold and cast his silver chains. He that is so impoverished that he will have no ablation, he chooses a tree that will not rot. And now here, the Lord is being sarcastic, because there's no such thing as a tree that won't rot, right?
No ablation chooses a tree. He seeketh into him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image that shall not be moved. And so the sarcasm is there.
There's no such thing as an image that cannot be moved. So he's a little sarcasm here with this verse, and then here, he says, have you not known, have you not heard, have you not been told you from the beginning, have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is he that seteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are grasshoppers, and that stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in. Now, here there's a whole lot of places in scripture that refers to the Lord stretching them out as spreading out the heavens, and I was amazed how often you find that in Job 9, 8, Psalm 104, verse 2, right here in Isaiah 44, 24, Isaiah 51, 13, Jeremiah, just a lot of places where he refers to, he stretches out the heavens.
Now, scientists are saying that the heavens are continually expanding, okay, and the universe is going out. And so, but anyhow, he says, has he not told you from the beginning, have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is he that seteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers, and stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in. That bringeth the princess to nothing, he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
He sure made a bunch of them here in America that way, didn't he? And so he goes on to say, Yea, they shall not be planted, yea, they shall not be sown, yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth, and shall also blow upon them, and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind should take them away as stubble. This is not good news to those people that don't want God to reign over them, huh?
No, not at all. It's not good news for those people that were Kamalek's rally, where they mocked God and they laughed and said there's no place for God there, huh? I can't believe she said that out loud. Yea, she did. She did.
She's been all over the news. She said go down the street, you're at the wrong place. And so he goes on to say, To whom then will you liken me, or shall I be equal, or who shall be equal with the Holy One? In other words, so he's asking, now tell me who is equal with me? Now somebody said that they were equal, that's that fella called Lucifer. When he did that he became Satan, huh? Yea. And things didn't work out that well for him, did they? Nope.
And he still got worse too. Yea, yea. It's not going to end well for him, is it?
No, not at all. Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel? My way is hid from the Lord and my judgment is passed over from my God.
God says you can't hide anything from Him. He says no matter where you're at, He sees you. He says He fills the entire universe. Has thou not known, has thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is He weary, and there is no searching of His understanding. He giveth power to the faint, and to them that have no might, He increases strength. Even the youth shall faint and be weary, and the young man shall utterly fall. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount upon the wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.
No, that literally will be filled, that will take place literally be fulfilled during the Millennial Kingdom, huh? And so, what he was saying when he was talking about the circle of the earth and stretching out, okay, here only God has the power to expand the entire universe, okay? Every system, every system in the universe, Ken, has been empowered by God to carry out His purpose. You know, He says, I will, my purposes will be carried out, will be fulfilled, and there's no stopping of that.
Now, let me ask you this. I love the, hast thou not known, hast thou not heard? Nothing's changing, you already know all this, nothing has changed, you know? Well, Klaus Schwab says we don't need God, and that minion of his says, there is no God above the clouds that's going to save you, okay? Now, Klaus Schwab said that we don't need God because we have A.I. A.I. is God, right? And so, when you talk about A.I., can A.I. stretch out the universe? No.
Can A.I. even begin to impose a problem for God? No, no. Okay. Can God be shut off? No. Can A.I.? Yeah. Yeah.
You can shut it off. So, God's power is unlimited. It's unlimited power.
See, how is that possible? We don't know, but all things are possible with God because He's the author, He's the beginning, okay, and the end of everything. And so, He existed before any other, anything existed. He was pre-existent. Nothing else would exist without Him.
No. And He spoke everything in the universe into being. And then, that question is always, then who made God?
Well, nobody made God because God had no beginning and no end. He was eternal. He always existed.
He was pre-existent. Before there was time, before there was time, God existed. In fact, God made time. God created time. And so, you say, well, what is time?
Time is simply the measurement of moment to moment, happening to happening from point A to point B. That's time. And so, I want to go now over to 1 Peter, chapter 4.
In 1 Peter, chapter 4. You know what I didn't do? I didn't get my, anything here to whip my whistle tonight, but that's all right. We don't have that much time left. So, in 1 Peter, chapter 4, starting with verse 13, we read this, Wherefore, gird up thy loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end, for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Okay, so, what do you think he meant when he said, gird up thy loins of your mind?
Okay. Kind of get prepared, get ready. Well, let's take a look at what it means to gird up your loins. Now, in those days, they wore robes. The men wore white robes, and different color robes, actually, too. But when they had to go out, and often they would have to go out, let's just say they were fishermen, and maybe walk through mud, or they'd have to work, you know, do work, different things. So, what they would do, is they would take their robe from behind, and pull it up between their legs, up to their waist, and then they would tie it there.
And it kind of looked like they were wearing a giant diaper. And that way, their legs would not get, the robe would not get all soiled and dirty while they were working. And so, the point that he's making here is to, is to gird up, means to have a very serious and thoughtful attitude toward the revelation of Jesus Christ.
That's what he's saying here. Wherefore, gird up thy loins of your mind. In other words, like, when they girded up their robes, they were being thoughtful not to get them all dirty, to keep them clean, right? And here now, he's saying, do the same thing with the loins of your mind.
Be sober and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought into you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. So, he's saying here, keep a very thoughtful and a very serious attitude toward the revelation of Jesus Christ. And so here, he goes on to say, as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance.
Well, you know what he's saying there. He's saying exactly what he said over in Romans chapter 12, verse 2, about not to be conformed to the world. Not to be conformed, don't allow yourself to be conformed to the things of this world. Then he says this, but as he which hath called you to, to be, is holy, he which is called you is holy, so be you holy in all manner of conversation.
What do you think that means? His two words, the conversation includes your conduct. So, how are we to be holy that way?
We're supposed to try not to sin and try to, you know, in our conversations and everything and try to remain as close to Christ-like as we can. Would our conversation be like the conversation of those women on The View? Oh, no. Absolutely not. Oh, man. There's some vulgar, vulgar women there, boy.
Everyone is dumber that watches that. Yeah, you don't come out any smarter, for sure. He says, because it is written, be you holy, for I am holy, and if you call on the Father, who without respect the person, judges according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear. And so, what do you think the fear is? Is the fear going to be that God, this angry God, is going to punish you, or is the fear to be that you're not going to please Him?
I think the fear would probably be feeling unworthy. Yeah. He goes on to say, for as much as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers, how is silver and gold corruptible? I think a lot of people would do things for money that they know they probably shouldn't. Bribes, huh?
Yeah. Bribes. And then, so, now he's telling you here that for as much as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, such as silver or gold, from your vain conversations with tradition of your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. Now let me ask you this, all of the silver, gold, and the wealth of the entire universe out there, is there enough wealth in the entire universe to purchase the blood of Christ?
Not even a drop. No. You're right.
It's not. So then that makes the blood of Christ the most valuable quantity that ever existed, huh? Yeah, absolutely. Okay, so now he goes on, but with the precious blood of Christ, who is the lamb without blemish and without spot, who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you. So here, God, because of his foreknowledge, knew that Jesus would become the Savior. He also knew those that would be saved, that those that Christ would die for and those that he would apply his blood to. And so, in fact, the names of the redeemed were known to God before the foundations of the world. And so we're redeemed with what all of the world's wealth could not afford to buy, and that was the precious blood of the Lord Jesus. And then here, who by him do we believe in God that raised him up from the dead and gave him glory and faith and hope might be in God? And then he finishes by saying, �See, you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeeling love of the brethren.
See that you love one another with a pure heart fervently.� Now, we, first of all, obeying the truth, you know, the truth is God's Word, but right now, when things really get serious and they get tough, okay, when you�ve been in, when the danger comes, when the shooting starts, are you going to find yourself with maybe now so many friends around? Yeah, unfortunately. Yeah. And over the years, I found out over the years, sometimes when it didn't look good, when it kind of looked like maybe doers of the word church might be raided by the Feds or whatever, because, you know, we take a no-compromise stand, you know, we don't� Oh, they wanted to shut you down for a while, I'm sure.
Yeah, yeah. And so when it looked like things could get dangerous, sometimes some of the folks that were there all of a sudden decided it would be better off somewhere else. But that's the way it is when it really gets that way. That's why it's important to know who's going to stand with you.
I have some idea. �Being born again not of corruptible seed but of uncorruptible by the Word of God which liveth and abideth forever. For all flesh is as grass and all the glory of men is the flowers of grass.
The grass withereth and the flowers thereof falleth away. But the Word of the Lord endureth forever, and this is the Word which by the grace is preached unto you.� And so endureth forever, God's Word, well, I'm going to tell you, it says heaven and earth will pass, heaven and earth will pass, but God's Word will never pass away. It's the only thing that will be left at some point when God burns off the earth and He makes it and everything on the earth will pass away, but God's Word. And God's Word just tells you this, folks, out there, it's the most powerful thing.
The entire universe was spoken into existence. There is nothing as sure, nothing as sure as God's Word. And this is why it is so important to you to understand when the Lord Jesus said, �You must be born again.� You folks out there listening to me tonight, when the Word of God says it's appointed to all men once to die and then the judgment, that is exactly what it means. You're out there listening to me, that means you're alive and that you're going to die someday and when that happens, you will instantly be in heaven or hell. No in between, you'll be in heaven or hell. No purgatory. Well, there is no purgatory. That place called purgatory doesn't exist anymore. That would be, I kind of feel like that would be right now, that would be where we're at right now.
Well, in a sense you might be right, yeah. And so, folks here, you've got to do this. You've got to call upon the name of the Lord. First of all, you pray to the Father and ask for forgiveness of your sins.
Pray to Father God and ask for forgiveness of your sins. Then you call upon the name of the Lord Jesus. You say, �Lord Jesus, come into my life, be the Lord of my life, all of my life, without any exceptions, Lord, without any reservations at all.� And once you've done that, you realize you have to put Him first.
He said He's got to be first in your life before yourself. He put you before Himself when He took your place upon that cross. If you will do that, God will always honor your commitment. You will become a new creature, a born-again believer, an heir of the Kingdom, and on your way to eternal life. And when that happens, then immediately you will be indwelt with the Holy Spirit. Now, everything I just told you, you have God's Word upon it.
It's God's Word. That's going to happen. He doesn't break it. He doesn't break His Word.
No, He doesn't break His Word. And again, if God says it, it's going to happen. It's absolutely going to happen. We're out of time for tonight. So, at this time every night we say, �Thanks for being here. Thanks for all your support.� I want to thank all of you for those letters, those nice letters, especially you ladies out there.
