The Ron Edwards American Experience-240524

[00:00:00] Hi, I'm Pete Cunningham of Lancashire's Lighthouse Radio Ministries and you're listening to the

[00:00:05] Ron Edwards American Experience.

[00:00:08] With the show this is it.

[00:00:16] 2, 1.

[00:00:24] And away we go.

[00:00:27] Say M. Say E. Say R. Say I. Say C. Say A. Say M.

[00:00:44] Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Ron Edwards American Experience talk show where our unalienable rights are celebrated.

[00:00:56] And now your radio refreshment, Ron Edwards.

[00:01:30] Welcome. Hello and how are you?

[00:01:32] I'm Ron Edwards and you're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience Faith Day edition.

[00:01:37] And welcome again from throughout America and around the world.

[00:01:42] Well, well, well, got a great guest today.

[00:01:45] His name is William Hodge.

[00:01:46] He's a co-writer or author of a wonderful book called Kneeling on Broken Glass, the Chronicles of Ezekiel's Writers.

[00:01:55] Going to be talking with him in just a few minutes and as he shares his faith journey on today's show.

[00:02:03] But beforehand we have to cover a few headlines and a few stories.

[00:02:08] Yes, we do.

[00:02:10] Including one that I think should be paid attention to.

[00:02:15] And it kind of goes along with what I've been saying about Putin, Russia's leader, dictator.

[00:02:22] He wants to end the Ukrainian war along with current lines.

[00:02:25] He plans to sell victory to the Russian people.

[00:02:28] And this is not the first time that Mr. Putin has reached out and said, hey, look, why don't we sit here and have a negotiation?

[00:02:35] Maybe NATO, you can try to honor our original agreements that we signed and talked about in the 1990s where you wouldn't be aggressive toward the border, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

[00:02:45] And other things that Ukraine was doing with the human trafficking and all that, it kind of irritated Mr. Putin.

[00:02:52] And so he said in his quiet manner of talking that he was going to invade Ukraine because of such and such things that were going on.

[00:03:02] And just last week he warned the West.

[00:03:05] He says, look, two Western capitals could be in danger if you don't stop what you're doing.

[00:03:12] And then what happens? Uncle Joe Biden says, hey, you know what?

[00:03:16] We want to continue to give billions and billions to Ukraine.

[00:03:20] And they want Putin to know that Ukraine is going to be using weapons directly from the United States.

[00:03:28] So what does that do?

[00:03:30] That makes Mr. Putin say, oh, you know what?

[00:03:32] Since America is indirectly involved.

[00:03:36] And that's when he turned around and warned about two Western capitals.

[00:03:41] And we don't have guess what, folks, we do not have the technology to stop those hypersonic missiles.

[00:03:48] Both China and Russia have.

[00:03:53] We invented the concept of hypersonic missiles.

[00:03:57] But like in so many things, you know, we get kind of lazy here in the United States and China and Russia both went ahead and developed those hypersonic missiles.

[00:04:08] And they cannot be stopped by our current level of technology.

[00:04:12] So we put ourselves in danger. Act retarded.

[00:04:17] Continue to poke the bear and we'll see how that goes.

[00:04:21] Ted Cruz, he was very brilliant yesterday as he took CNN's Kate Collins to task on voter fraud after she tries tricking him into accepting the rigged 2024 election.

[00:04:36] Yeah, I said the rigged 2024 election because there's already detailed plans on how the Uniparty elites are going to be able to get to the top of the list.

[00:04:48] And I would be angry, too, if I were Ted Cruz and I had the opportunity to speak with someone on CNN.

[00:04:55] I'd be a little ticked, too.

[00:04:58] And taking them to task.

[00:05:01] We're trying to portray it in another light like this.

[00:05:04] Oh, there's no problem there.

[00:05:06] Yada yada yada.

[00:05:09] But it is what it is, isn't it?

[00:05:12] It is what it is.

[00:05:15] Well, do we understand that the international community, including various heads of government, is complicit in the scam as Iran emerges rather as a hub for international organ trafficking?

[00:05:26] I mean, I think that's a good question.

[00:05:29] I mean, you just can't make this stuff up.

[00:05:31] It just continues to just eke out.

[00:05:35] And by the way, speaking of Iran, well, ahead of about 10 seconds of joy when the Iranian dictator and three others stood up and said, well, we're going to get the president of Iran out of the country.

[00:05:46] And by the way, speaking of Iran, well, ahead of about 10 seconds of joy when the Iranian dictator and three others went down with him in a plane crash.

[00:06:03] But he was immediately replaced by someone who was just as dedicated to their, you know, their Iranian dictatorship under Islam.

[00:06:15] They said that nothing's going to change and they're going to continue with the help of Washington, D.C.

[00:06:22] And it really grates me how just before Uncle Joe Biden took office, Iran was totally broke, totally unable to do anything, to have any impact on the world.

[00:06:35] But thanks to Uncle Joe, I think it's up to about $256 billion total that we have allowed Iran to earn from oil sales.

[00:06:48] Well, at the same time, we've been giving at least a six to eight billion.

[00:06:53] Well, not we, but you know, has been giving $6 billion to Iran to help them in their effort to fund terrorism around the world.

[00:07:04] It just it's just so sad.

[00:07:09] But on this faith day, I like to ask you the question, should we try to make Christianity masculine again?

[00:07:19] You know how they see the classic photos and pictures of Jesus looking like a wimpy guy, like a waif in some cases where it says Jesus loves everybody and technically he does.

[00:07:34] But they interpret his love as just being, oh, we just accept you and whatever you say or do is OK, as long as you accept Jesus in your heart.

[00:07:44] Oh, oh, oh. And they think that Jesus is a permanent smiling waif who is not focused on making sure that we are clean, that we are purified and guided by Holy Spirit.

[00:08:05] And at the same time, they think he is so wimpish.

[00:08:13] You have this full steam ahead in your face assault on everything Christian, not only in this nation, but but around the entire world.

[00:08:24] Because in so many cases, the body of Christ has taken on this wimpish Americanas apologeticus.

[00:08:34] Spindleless attitude.

[00:08:37] But that is that that is not a true representation of Christ, of Jesus.

[00:08:42] It is not.

[00:08:44] And I would urge everyone to get in, jump in the big, you know, in the good book.

[00:08:51] And really understand.

[00:08:54] Who Jesus Christ was because he is not the one that is commonly portrayed.

[00:09:01] Especially in the Western world.

[00:09:03] He's not. And you wonder why, as Christians, it is probably still the largest organization in the world when it comes to the numbers of people who call themselves Christians.

[00:09:20] But yet comparatively ineffective in the world.

[00:09:25] Because the body of Christ is taken on the character that is falsely portrayed in pictures, in some descriptions, etc, etc, etc.

[00:09:36] And you have the world today.

[00:09:40] And so we end up with America being in serious trouble.

[00:09:47] In fact, particularly all of the Western world, Western Europe, the United States, Australia.

[00:09:55] And we're in a heap of hurt. But there's folks that have been fighting against that.

[00:10:00] Two of them are Chaplain Joseph Palumbo and Chaplain William T. Hodge.

[00:10:07] We're going to be talking to Bill Hodge when we return on this, the Ron Edwards American Experience.

[00:14:22] Well, let's proceed, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:14:25] Ladies and gentlemen, it is my esteemed pleasure to welcome our guest today, Chaplain William T. Hodge.

[00:14:34] He is the co-author of Kneeling on Broken Glass, the Chronicles of Ezekiel's Writers.

[00:14:42] Welcome back, Bill. And it's great to hear from you again.

[00:14:46] And I must tell you, Denise has read the book and you ought to get her to write a review.

[00:14:53] And I had been reading the book, perusing it as well.

[00:14:57] And I must tell you, it's a very stupendous work of words.

[00:15:03] And to me, it chronicles a journey of friends, brothers,

[00:15:12] as they not only enjoy each other's company in the presence of the Lord,

[00:15:17] but as you guys victoriously battle against evil by the use of the shofar.

[00:15:23] And before we get started, just want to thank you for taking the time out of your life to do this,

[00:15:29] as you have done in several different continents and all around the world.

[00:15:35] Thank you so much, sir.

[00:15:37] Well, bless you. And it's an honor to be back here with you today, my brother.

[00:15:43] You know, before we get into the serious stuff, I got to admit that Joe Palumbo,

[00:15:53] he's a great chronicler of food. I mean, he has a great memory.

[00:16:04] I mean, on May 5th.

[00:16:06] And most of that weight he gained, he has lost now. So that's the good news.

[00:16:10] Well, tell us, first of all, tell the folks, because there may be some people who don't understand

[00:16:18] what is shofar ministry and what is the purpose of it.

[00:16:22] Well, the shofar is a instrument that is first chronicled in the Hebrew Bible,

[00:16:36] where the shofar makes its debut with Father Abraham at the time that he is being asked by the Lord

[00:16:46] to sacrifice his son Isaac, to show his faithfulness to the Lord.

[00:16:52] And where Isaac is about ready to be sacrificed, God obviously stays Abraham's hand

[00:17:00] and recognizes that Abraham is faithful and God provides a sacrifice.

[00:17:06] And it is the ram caught in the thickets by its horn.

[00:17:11] And Oral Torah speaks of these horns as instruments or trumpets.

[00:17:19] And so the shofar is a ram's horn or a horn from a kosher animal.

[00:17:26] And it is a trumpet. It is what they call in the Hebrew shofar or trumpet.

[00:17:34] But it is a ram's horn not made by man's hands.

[00:17:38] And so it has been an instrument throughout the ages.

[00:17:42] If people who are familiar with the Old Testament, there are many times where the shofar is used.

[00:17:50] Exodus chapter 19 verse 16 speaks of the Lord having a shofar.

[00:17:55] Of course we see the shofar come forth again in Gideon's army, also the walls of Jericho.

[00:18:03] And of course the shofar is used as an instrument.

[00:18:07] It is used for triumphal entry. It is used for assembly.

[00:18:13] It is used to call for war.

[00:18:15] So it is an instrument that is still used in this hour by the Jewish people

[00:18:24] and those of us obviously of Jewish lineage, we understand the spiritual significance of it

[00:18:31] because the shofar is made by blood.

[00:18:35] Therefore as you're sounding the shofar there is a frequency and the frequency is that of blood.

[00:18:43] And where do we see that reference? Well, Abel.

[00:18:46] We look back in Genesis where Cain kills Abel and God confronts Cain

[00:18:51] and he says, I hear your brother's blood crying out from the ground.

[00:18:56] So it's a tool. It's an oracle of God in and of itself.

[00:19:02] It's just a ram's horn.

[00:19:04] It has everything to do with the Holy Spirit that dwells within the founder of the shofar.

[00:19:11] I would like to say that the shofar is as much a prayer instrument

[00:19:17] as it is an instrument of warning or even an instrument of praise.

[00:19:24] Man, yeah.

[00:19:26] And speaking of the shofar and the utilization of it,

[00:19:31] in these trying times, we call it the end times as well,

[00:19:37] as the shofar is taken throughout the land and it is blown

[00:19:43] and it does have a pretty strong impact against evil spirits throughout the land.

[00:19:51] How does this impact, how does this play out in what are called the end times

[00:19:57] and things that are prophesied to come and that cannot be stopped, that are going to happen?

[00:20:03] And so when you look at that and someone might ask,

[00:20:07] well why go through that if this stuff is going to happen anyway?

[00:20:11] Well again, as believers, the Holy Spirit lives within us, Christ within us.

[00:20:19] And yes, Father can do everything all by himself.

[00:20:24] He doesn't need anybody.

[00:20:26] I mean, Christ said when it is finished, it was finished.

[00:20:28] But that's not the point.

[00:20:30] The point is that we who have received Jesus our Lord and Savior are filled with the Holy Spirit.

[00:20:36] We are his agents in the earth.

[00:20:39] We are called to go and declare and decree things.

[00:20:42] The enemy knows how to do that.

[00:20:44] The enemy, obviously we're seeing that throughout the earth there's negative frequencies out there

[00:20:49] that are being emitted by those that are under the control of Satan.

[00:20:53] And it's those negative frequencies that the body of Christ is called to come and counter

[00:20:59] with the frequency of heaven.

[00:21:01] And so the Holy Spirit working through the body of Christ makes declarations.

[00:21:07] We're able to make declarations.

[00:21:09] We're able to make null and void decrees that have been made by those working for Satan

[00:21:14] or inadvertently working for Satan, whether they knew it or not,

[00:21:17] and declare and decree the frequencies of heaven back over territories or the land which our Lord has created.

[00:21:27] So we are vessels filled with the Holy Spirit.

[00:21:31] And as we move forth with the shofar, we are sounding the shofar after praying

[00:21:38] and declaring and decreeing a word and then letting that voice of God through the shofar

[00:21:44] emanate throughout the atmosphere.

[00:21:46] And I tell you, I thought it was a little nutty when at first I picked up the shofar back in 2000.

[00:21:54] But after seeing things happen in the atmosphere over villages, over cities,

[00:22:00] even around the world, seeing the change from the darkness to light,

[00:22:05] I mean, I've seen the enemy scatter because you have to understand that in these last days,

[00:22:13] there are going to be some shofar sounding from the heavens.

[00:22:16] And there's going to be one particular shofar that's going to sound,

[00:22:19] and that's going to be the Lord himself sounding his shofar before his triumphal return.

[00:22:25] And that is the trumpet all will hear throughout the earth.

[00:22:30] And that day, I cannot wait. So I cannot wait for it.

[00:22:34] So in the meantime, those of us who have Jesus Christ within us,

[00:22:39] we are declaring and decreeing His word over various areas,

[00:22:42] and we're sounding the shofar, letting the enemy, those principalities in the air,

[00:22:50] Satan is the prince of the air.

[00:22:52] We're letting him know that he is being put on notice and he flees.

[00:22:57] He's a wimp. Satan is a wimp.

[00:22:59] He's a coward. He's a wimp.

[00:23:01] And so he hates it when the body of Christ steps up and declares and decrees a matter

[00:23:08] that has already been declared by Jesus to be finished.

[00:23:12] That's my long and short of it.

[00:23:15] Yeah, you know, I can't wait until we do hear that final trump

[00:23:19] and all this madness or as you often call it goofy stuff is put to an end.

[00:23:26] When we come back, Bill, we're going to focus more on the book

[00:23:30] and some of the wonderful things.

[00:23:32] I mean, when you go through this, the 2,500 motorcycles shofar assignment

[00:23:37] to Pinnacle Prayer Mountain and other great things that were done.

[00:23:43] And I'll never forget the time we went to Georgia.

[00:23:47] And I believe because of what happened, they don't exist anymore.

[00:23:52] They don't exist anymore.

[00:23:54] I'm a witness.

[00:23:56] Yeah. Okay, this is the Ron Edwards American Experience

[00:23:59] with our guest today, William Hodge.

[00:24:02] And we'll be right back after this.

[00:24:05] Hi, I'm Denise Edwards of Cup Ministry

[00:25:27] Former President Barack Obama stated

[00:25:33] the USA is no longer a Christian nation.

[00:25:36] That wasn't the first time that anti-Christian bigots

[00:25:39] tried to kick God out of our republic.

[00:25:42] Hello, I'm Ron Edwards.

[00:25:44] On today's Space from the Edwards Notebook

[00:25:46] brought to you by Constitutional Grounds Coffee.

[00:25:48] Right after the American Revolution,

[00:25:50] the impact of Christianity crashed dramatically.

[00:25:53] Church attendance dropped to near nothing

[00:25:55] and French rationalism swept over colleges

[00:25:58] which became hotbeds of atheism.

[00:26:01] In 1787, anti-Christian bigotry was so profound

[00:26:05] that Gary Allen, a student at A. Harrington College,

[00:26:08] embraced Christ along with two other students.

[00:26:11] But they had to maintain their faith and secret

[00:26:14] because the other students would attack them.

[00:26:16] Chief Justice John Marshall worried

[00:26:18] the church was too far gone to be redeemed.

[00:26:21] However, in time there was a renaissance of Christian faith

[00:26:24] which helped fuel America's rise to the top

[00:26:27] and become the envy of the world.

[00:26:29] Today, faith in Jesus Christ is on the wane

[00:26:32] and as a result so is our republic.

[00:26:34] Ronald Reagan warned that if America doesn't remain

[00:26:37] one nation under God, she will become

[00:26:39] one nation gone under.

[00:26:41] If the USA is to be great again,

[00:26:43] we the people must first acknowledge

[00:26:45] God is great and worthy to be praised.

[00:28:16] Ron Edwards, the new voice of America.

[00:28:25] You'll be fit to come down from the heavy fit

[00:28:43] To go down to the depths of hell

[00:28:46] To rescue me

[00:28:48] I, I, I

[00:28:51] Oh man, I hate when we have to turn that song down.

[00:29:09] I love that song.

[00:29:11] This is the Ron Edwards American Experience.

[00:29:13] We're getting into a praising mood here.

[00:29:15] Anyway, this is the Ron Edwards American Experience

[00:29:18] welcoming our guest William Hodge.

[00:29:20] She's the co-author of

[00:29:22] Kneeling on Broken Glass

[00:29:24] The Chronicles of Ezekiel's Writers.

[00:29:27] Well before we get to their writing,

[00:29:30] how about this folks?

[00:29:32] You know, I used to think I was really doing something

[00:29:35] when I would walk five miles from downtown Cleveland

[00:29:38] to my home.

[00:29:39] And I said, oh, that's a nice little stroll.

[00:29:42] But get a load of this.

[00:29:44] Bill Hodge and friends took a 200 mile walk

[00:29:48] across the great state of Michigan.

[00:29:50] Now, Bill, what was that about?

[00:29:56] Well, as with anything,

[00:29:59] there's a beginning, you know.

[00:30:01] You know, as I was ministering over the last several years,

[00:30:05] for the last 25 years anyways,

[00:30:08] the Holy Spirit just sort of had me do a whole lot of

[00:30:11] really strange things.

[00:30:13] You know, coming from law enforcement and corrections

[00:30:15] and criminal justice background,

[00:30:17] you know, somewhat of a realist,

[00:30:20] all of this spiritual stuff was sort of new to me.

[00:30:23] Not that I had not experienced Jesus in the past,

[00:30:27] but at the point is that,

[00:30:29] all of the things that God would cause us Christians to do

[00:30:33] seemed a little strange.

[00:30:35] Yet it was when I spent more time with the Lord,

[00:30:40] I was able to discern his voice a whole lot better.

[00:30:44] And there were assignments that the Holy Spirit

[00:30:47] would have us do.

[00:30:49] And all of these assignments were to declare and decree

[00:30:53] his will over the earth.

[00:30:55] And yes, we took a 200 mile walk across the state of Michigan

[00:31:00] from the Detroit River to Lake Michigan.

[00:31:06] Talk about the, from the river to the sea.

[00:31:09] Don't want to go there.

[00:31:11] But anyways, it was amazing.

[00:31:14] We walked 10 to 14 miles a day,

[00:31:16] and I was carrying a very large wooden cross.

[00:31:20] And I wasn't allowed to carry it over my shoulder,

[00:31:22] but I had to carry it up that the cross was standing straight up.

[00:31:25] So if you saw me coming up over a hill,

[00:31:27] you would see this cross start to emerge

[00:31:30] as I was walking up over the hill.

[00:31:33] And the response across the state of Michigan was amazing.

[00:31:37] This was in 2008, housing industry just went, it just crashed.

[00:31:42] It was terrible.

[00:31:43] Detroit was in the death throes with the auto industry.

[00:31:48] It was just, it was terrible.

[00:31:50] But I had heard the Lord say that he wanted me to do this,

[00:31:54] walk across the nation or across the state back in 2001.

[00:32:00] So again, you wait upon the Lord.

[00:32:02] And then it was in 2007,

[00:32:04] the Holy Spirit gave me the understanding that it was in,

[00:32:08] that it was now time to walk across, across the state of Michigan.

[00:32:11] So we did that, had amazing miracles occurred across the state of Michigan.

[00:32:17] We had absolutely wonderful crosswalkers with us.

[00:32:20] And of course, the cross is being walked all over the United States.

[00:32:23] Beautiful crosswalkers I bumped into over the years.

[00:32:26] I've walked across throughout California,

[00:32:29] walked it around several campuses and capital buildings.

[00:32:37] But in 2008, after we had finished the assignment,

[00:32:41] I rushed back to the Detroit area and got ready to go on the next journey,

[00:32:46] which is what the Ezekiel riders was all about.

[00:32:49] So my feet were real happy because now I was going to be sitting on my rear end

[00:32:55] for 2,500 miles and going to some incredible places with the shofar

[00:33:01] and declaring the creance of matters over some pretty interesting areas.

[00:33:08] So that's sort of the, again, the short of it right there.

[00:33:12] You know, on page 34 in the book, it talks about you mentioned,

[00:33:17] I think Joe wrote this, but it says,

[00:33:21] I heard from the Lord that he was giving America a gift of mercy

[00:33:26] to repent one last time before he brought judgment.

[00:33:29] Is it to your opinion that America is under judgment right now?

[00:33:36] Well, that's an interesting thing.

[00:33:38] At the time when the Holy Spirit spoke that to me,

[00:33:41] of course we were all going through the Obama years,

[00:33:45] and the debauchery and all of the LGBTQ, URS, ABC,

[00:33:54] whatever it is they want to give themselves a letter for.

[00:33:57] That whole thing was such a blight on this nation.

[00:34:01] The woke-ism that had been really starting to grow

[00:34:06] even to the point where it was really taking notice upon our campuses.

[00:34:11] God is not happy with that.

[00:34:13] And is there a judgment? Of course there's judgment.

[00:34:16] Sin causes judgment.

[00:34:17] Without repentance, there's judgment.

[00:34:20] There has to be. God's a righteous judge.

[00:34:22] He is a judge.

[00:34:24] But when I heard the Holy Spirit speak that,

[00:34:27] I'll never forget that, that God is such a merciful judge

[00:34:32] that he is willing because for the sake of his remnant in the land,

[00:34:37] though maybe they were few, yet God, because of them,

[00:34:42] he was willing to give a gift of mercy to repent one last time.

[00:34:47] And of course repent means to turn away from your sinfulness,

[00:34:50] your idol worship, those things that obviously displease the Lord.

[00:34:54] And it was a few short years later, brother, which was really exciting.

[00:34:59] I heard the Holy Spirit, and of course there's a lot of the body of Christ

[00:35:03] that have been out doing what they're called to do,

[00:35:05] standing in the gap, declaring decreeing, praying, out winning souls.

[00:35:10] I heard the Holy Spirit say so clearly, and this really excited me.

[00:35:14] He said to me, repentance will consume your nation.

[00:35:20] Now that right there, brother, that excites me because that means

[00:35:27] that there has been a movement of prayer through our nation

[00:35:32] which is causing men and women to hear the truth

[00:35:37] because our prayers, as we pray our prayers, they're being answered.

[00:35:42] And again, the shofar, the moving forth with the shofar,

[00:35:47] taking out the enemy, changing the demonic frequency over cities

[00:35:52] with the frequency of heaven.

[00:35:54] These are all things that God is doing in this hour.

[00:35:58] And as you know, I'm on my way back to D.C. with a team to pray.

[00:36:03] And we are excited to see what God is doing here.

[00:36:08] And that's what the book was all about, kneeling on broken glass.

[00:36:11] That was a situation that occurred in the Pine Ridge Reservation

[00:36:15] with the Native American Indians.

[00:36:17] Many were led to Christ there in white clay,

[00:36:21] and we were all kneeling down on broken beer bottles

[00:36:25] that they had smashed up against one of the ministry walls.

[00:36:29] But they came hearing the shofar.

[00:36:33] They heard the shofar and they came to us while we were getting ready for worship.

[00:36:38] And they repented, and they got on their knees and repented right there with us.

[00:36:44] And so we knelt with them.

[00:36:45] So we were kneeling on broken glass while they were making a declaration for Jesus Christ.

[00:36:51] Thus the inspiration for the title of the book.

[00:36:54] Exactly.

[00:36:56] So funny is Joe's the one that came up with that title.

[00:37:00] I'm thinking, what in the world? How are we going to...what?

[00:37:03] But it makes a whole lot more sense now, 12 years later,

[00:37:08] that most certainly, aren't we all kneeling on broken glass in this hour?

[00:37:14] Really? We are.

[00:37:16] Just the broken glass of our own lives, of our own making.

[00:37:20] But that's a good place to kneel.

[00:37:22] Yeah, absolutely.

[00:37:24] And I just can't help but just be marveled by the description in the book

[00:37:31] and the pattern and how you guys put this together.

[00:37:35] It reads like an adventure.

[00:37:37] Oh, it is.

[00:37:39] Yeah, and a lot of good eating.

[00:37:43] So ladies and gentlemen, I highly recommend that you check out this book.

[00:37:48] And Bill, where can folks find this wonderful book on kneeling on broken glass?

[00:37:54] Well, obviously it's on Amazon, but you can go to kneelingonbrokenglass.com

[00:37:59] and you can obviously be able to read some of the pages there.

[00:38:04] And I'll give you a little bit of better idea of what the book is about.

[00:38:07] It's actually told from two-person story.

[00:38:11] You know, you're going to see Joe's rendition and you're going to see my rendition.

[00:38:15] So you get a chance to sort of like read two in one.

[00:38:19] There's actually six chronicles in that book, which is amazing.

[00:38:24] And these are all true events.

[00:38:28] The miracles that occurred, the things that happened.

[00:38:32] And Bill, I tell you, if you're really struggling with your faith in Christ,

[00:38:37] if you're really struggling with your gifts and your calling, grab this book.

[00:38:43] So kneelingonbrokenglass.com.

[00:38:47] Absolutely amazing.

[00:38:49] You can order your book from there.

[00:38:51] We are excited about getting the word out.

[00:38:54] But more importantly, we're not done yet.

[00:38:56] More books to write.

[00:38:58] Yeah, and I know that because you've got so much more to do.

[00:39:01] And I just want to quickly pray before I ask you to pray.

[00:39:04] I want to pray for the Lord's protection over you guys as you head to the nation's capital

[00:39:10] and that the enemy is kept off of the trail that you all are taking

[00:39:15] and is prevented from obstructing what it is that the Lord would have you to do in our nation's capital

[00:39:22] because our nation's capital needs obedient people like yourself to go there

[00:39:26] and to do what you are assigned to do for his mercy upon this nation.

[00:39:32] And we thank the Lord for that.

[00:39:34] And Bill, again, we thank you for your obedience

[00:39:37] and what you're willing to do for our Heavenly Father.

[00:39:42] Amen.

[00:39:43] And Father, we do thank you that you have not given up on this nation.

[00:39:47] I know, Father, you have created this nation to share the gospel throughout the entire world.

[00:39:53] And that, Lord, you are, you are, again, Father, restoring the original intent of the purpose of this nation

[00:40:00] again for your glory and for your namesake.

[00:40:03] And so, Lord, I'm asking right now that you would touch the hearts of those

[00:40:09] listening to the Ron Edwards notebook, that, Father, that they would pick up their swords

[00:40:15] and that they would pick up their gifts and their callings

[00:40:18] and they would go forth and do what you have sent them here to the earth to do.

[00:40:23] And that for those, Lord, that are, that are way sided by the enemy,

[00:40:27] that your voice would speak clearly the truth to them that they may be made free

[00:40:32] and that they would receive your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior

[00:40:37] and start to do what they've been called here to do in the first place.

[00:40:41] And so, Father, for those that are wayward and lost, Lord,

[00:40:45] we know that they are about ready to hear some great truth,

[00:40:48] and we're hoping, Father, that they will make the right decision,

[00:40:51] that they will no longer serve the enemy winningly or unwittingly anymore,

[00:40:55] but that, Lord God, they will turn to you and repent.

[00:40:58] And so, Father, I thank you for your promises over this nation.

[00:41:02] I thank you for my brother Ron and his lovely wife.

[00:41:05] And so, Father, I thank you that this is a great platform

[00:41:09] that the body of Christ is able to use to get the word out.

[00:41:13] So, Father, we thank you for blessing this day.

[00:41:15] We thank you for blessing your word.

[00:41:17] And we thank you most importantly for blessing this nation.

[00:41:20] And we pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

[00:41:24] Amen.

[00:41:26] Amen.

[00:41:27] Well, thank you, Bill, for joining us today.

[00:41:29] And God be with you and those going with you to the nation's capital.

[00:41:33] And, of course, I declare decree that you guys shall be very victorious

[00:41:37] and the enemy will be so sorry that you guys showed up.

[00:41:41] It's going to be tremendous.

[00:41:43] Amen to that.

[00:41:45] Thank you, brother. It's been my pleasure.

[00:41:47] Thank you as always.

[00:41:48] Godspeed. Take care.

[00:44:31] My name is Ben Culbertson, the Chancellor of Great Commission United.

[00:44:37] You're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience.

[00:44:41] The great wake up to Jesus Christ continues from throughout America and around the world.

[00:45:06] This is the Ron Edwards American Experience.

[00:45:08] I'm Ron Edwards as we celebrate Faith Day.

[00:45:12] My friends, before our guests, I made the statement about how we should make Christianity masculine again.

[00:45:23] Now, this isn't a male chauvinist point of view.

[00:45:26] Nothing of the sort.

[00:45:28] I was pointing out that this Wampus Americanus apologeticus formation of Christianity today as a whole is not is right.

[00:45:40] You know, it represents a compromised weak people.

[00:45:45] Now, thank God that we have individuals like Bill Hodge and Joe Palamo, I believe myself, Denise Edwards, and many others,

[00:45:54] Zechariah 2-5 members, et cetera, et cetera, who are not Wampus Americanus apologeticus but are strong in the faith.

[00:46:02] But as a whole, the body of Christ needs to be, we really need to become more masculine

[00:46:08] and take on a strong masculine body.

[00:46:11] Meaning that as we stand together in a more strong purpose-filled manner, united in Christ,

[00:46:19] we shall be more victorious against the enemy and his designs on our various nations.

[00:46:28] And sometimes when we mention the Wampus aspects of Christianity, people get offended.

[00:46:36] But let's look at ourselves in the mirror.

[00:46:39] Some of us are weak, nicer than Jesus' followers of him.

[00:46:44] But the truth is the truth, my friends, no matter how it may sting just a little bit.

[00:46:49] Is it any wonder that the average beer drinking, NASCAR driving, NASCAR loving face painting football fanatic

[00:46:56] wants nothing to do with Team Jesus?

[00:46:59] Many people think that it's nothing but a giant, weak organization.

[00:47:04] I know that it's not that way.

[00:47:08] But sometimes, you know, perception can be reality to folks.

[00:47:12] Let me ask you a question if you were not already, say, born again.

[00:47:16] What is it about Christianity that would draw you to wanting to be a Christian?

[00:47:24] And if you were not already, say, born again, what is it about Christianity that would draw you

[00:47:30] to wanting to join Team Jesus?

[00:47:34] The praise the Lord Jesus love you brother.

[00:47:36] Who am I to judge bilge does not resonate with those outside the safe confines of most of America's churches.

[00:47:45] As the Apostle Paul warned us, for if the trumpet gives an uncertain sound,

[00:47:51] he will prepare himself to the battle.

[00:47:54] Will someone please blow that darn trumpet?

[00:47:58] Like Bill Hodge and friends are going to be doing this weekend.

[00:48:03] Most of the messages are self-focused and geared towards women, and men act like women.

[00:48:12] They do.

[00:48:14] I'll say it again.

[00:48:15] Just like, and I'll add this, just like most schools in America,

[00:48:21] they're self-focused, soft and geared towards females,

[00:48:25] and men who act like women and girls or who are expected to or they're trying to force them to act like girls or women.

[00:48:35] It is almost as if testosterone went out the door with messages of hell and damnation no longer spoken from the pulpits of America, Great Britain, France, et cetera.

[00:48:49] If you were a non-Christian male in today's society, what is it about Christianity that would make you want to become one?

[00:48:57] And I ask that question because in many instances, not all, so don't send me these nasty grams,

[00:49:03] but in many instances Christ is not properly presented.

[00:49:09] He's not.

[00:49:11] The way some churches present him is like at the end of their message, just like, well, you know what?

[00:49:17] I just go to a guy who just give me a pep talk.

[00:49:21] And there's a reason why stadiums are full and the churches of America are becoming emptier and emptier.

[00:49:33] Because at a football game, at a good football game, you get a real battle.

[00:49:38] You see the struggle, the fight, and the victor.

[00:49:44] When was the last time the average Methodist church spoke about victory over evil?

[00:49:48] When was the last time the average church in Great Britain or United States of America spoke about the Ten Commandments

[00:49:58] and the urgency of needing to adhere to God's principles?

[00:50:03] So what do we do?

[00:50:10] We need to make Christianity masculine again, meaning we have to first understand, then present to those we are witnessing to.

[00:50:23] We have to, you know, here's a good way to put it.

[00:50:26] We have to deal from a position of strength.

[00:50:30] But we have to learn that.

[00:50:32] We have to teach that, that when as you are walking with Christ, you are one who is walking from a position of strength.

[00:50:41] So have you been watching what has been going on, for example, with Harrison Butker of the Kansas City Chiefs

[00:50:55] who called for more masculinity in America today?

[00:50:59] And getting back to moral standards, to love your wife, raise your family.

[00:51:07] That the wife should be a stay-at-home mom if that's what she wants to be and she shouldn't be ridiculed for that.

[00:51:12] Have children and the kind of great values the American church used to support at one time, massively.

[00:51:20] So and just because he said those things at a Catholic university, of all places, he has been just dragged through the mud.

[00:51:32] So even his own teammate, Travis Kelsey, says, Oh, I don't believe in that.

[00:51:40] I don't I don't agree with that.

[00:51:42] But thank goodness here's the other side of the story.

[00:51:46] The thank goodness that coach Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes have both stepped up and said, you know, we support him.

[00:51:54] We agree with him.

[00:51:56] And that was very good to see yesterday because so often in the body of Christ,

[00:52:03] you have the bold ones who stand up and stand out for what is right, put themselves on the line.

[00:52:09] And it's as if there's nothing but crickets around them.

[00:52:13] And then the leftist liberals nipping at their ankles, trying to chop them down.

[00:52:22] But that was good when I saw that Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes said, you know what?

[00:52:29] You're not alone, brother. We're with you.

[00:52:32] That was very, very, very good to see.

[00:52:39] If we ever, let's say, get this ship called America or Great Britain, right it again.

[00:52:47] It will not happen unless we make America masculine again, unless we make Great Britain masculine again.

[00:52:55] Did you know that they once asked Jesus who was the greatest Christian to walk the earth?

[00:53:00] His response was shocking and a real indictment of where we find ourselves.

[00:53:05] Andy responded.

[00:53:38] And more than a prophet.

[00:53:40] For this is he of whom it is written, behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before the before thee.

[00:53:48] Verily I say unto you among them that are born of woman, there had not risen a greater than John the Baptist.

[00:53:55] And he was a very masculine guy. He was not afraid to spread the truth.

[00:53:59] He was unorthodox.

[00:54:01] But anyway, I hate to say this, my friends.

[00:54:04] My friends, now that I see that my time is up, thank you so much for your time.

[00:54:12] Tags that stage right.

[00:54:15] And as I always say at this time, pray for your nation.

[00:54:20] Pray for your family, your friends and even your enemies that they get it right.

[00:54:24] And to treat others the way you would want to be treated.

[00:54:27] I'm Al Edwards, thanking all of you for joining us on this faith day.

[00:54:33] Until next time.

[00:54:35] Bye now.
