The Ron Edwards American Experience-250124

[00:00:00] Hi, I'm Pete Cunningham from Lancashire's Lighthouse Radio Ministries, and you're listening to The Ron Edwards American Experience. On with the show, this is it! And away we go!

[00:00:20] Say A, say L, say E, say R, say I, say C, say A.

[00:00:42] Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Ron Edwards American Experience talk show, where our unalienable rights are celebrated. And now, your radio refreshment, Ron Edwards.

[00:01:25] Good day, hello and how are you? I'm Ron Edwards, and this is the Ron Edwards American Experience Faith Day edition, and it's an honor to be here today. And our prayers continue to go out to the folks who are suffering throughout our republic and throughout the world, in fact. And speaking of suffering, man, the people of North Carolina are still going through it big time.

[00:01:50] And it was so great and so refreshing to see President Trump visiting with the people out there, not just taking a tour and looking around, but actually hanging out with the people and speaking with them and giving them the opportunity to express themselves to the media and talk about how things have been for them since that horrible, horrible hurricane and flooding situation that occurred in North Carolina.

[00:02:19] And elsewhere throughout our republic.

[00:02:49] They like to hide behind the oppressive actions of government and utilize that as an opportunity to not offer good deals for their customers. And, you know, and that's just the way it goes. But I think help is going to be coming in a big way for folks around the country, the president also in California, showing how much he cares.

[00:03:18] And they said that Melania, our first lady, really wanted to go out there. And you could tell that she was truly impacted and affected by the situation out there. I think that this is going to be a life changing ordeal for her. I really believe that. Because you can't, you know, see something like that for the first time and up close and not be impacted. And I think she's going to be impacted in a good way.

[00:03:47] And as she sees the good job that President Trump does in getting things rounded up. And I believe that since he's a builder. And this is only a guess of mine. I'm only guessing my only my opinion. But I think he'll probably do some stuff big time. And he's going to be a builder.

[00:04:38] No matter what you might want to say about the guy. He's shown a big heart to people that have been suffering and have gone through horrific ideals. Ordeals, rather. I'm sorry. Ordeals. In fact, Trump deputies are seeking 40,000 beds as I speak for migrant deportations.

[00:05:06] Now, in this regard, Trump is showing a heart for his country. The country that he is the chief officer. And so, I mean, he's getting right to work. He's getting things going. And he wants four 10,000 bed detention centers to hold illegals as they are being processed for reparation to their home countries. And here's the thing.

[00:05:34] If, for example, they're going to send some to Uruguay or wherever. And those countries say, we're not taking them back. If the United States is stupidly giving these countries aid anyway, I would immediately just cut off their aid. I wouldn't even say anything. All of a sudden, there would be no aid.

[00:05:59] And then I would take the hard-headed illegals to someplace like Alcatraz or – we own many territorial islands off of both of our coasts. So that wouldn't be a hard problem to resolve. And I do believe that as people are kicked out, if they come back into the country, they should be sent to places like Alcatraz. That way, we're honoring their desire to be on U.S. soil.

[00:06:28] But at the same time, we're getting them out of the way so they won't be a pain in the backside to us Americans. A little bit of good news shows that prayers are working. I mean, prayers have been going out and they're working everywhere. There's an impact everywhere.

[00:06:48] Now, you know, Target or Target, as it's commonly known in our country, department stores, they're ending its diversity goals as a strong DEI opponent occupies the White House. Now, we know that Target has been so awful. Even at Christmastime, they would bring in all these weird clothings for little children, tranny clothing, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

[00:07:16] And they were an anti-Christmas store and just totally awful. And it's remarkable how – you know how they say one person can make a difference. And it just blows my mind how in just a few days the impact that President Trump has had on the world. But that also shows you two things, the impact of the prayer warriors and the impact of the United States of America as a whole.

[00:07:43] And technically right now, because the rebuilding of our country hasn't even started yet, but even in our broken down state, the United States of America is still very, very powerful and very, very influential around the world. And that is a good thing.

[00:08:04] And what we need is the continuation of the improvement in the quality of our government so that the United States can be a much better influence in the world. I mean, when you think about it, U.S. rap music is all over the world.

[00:08:22] The United States, because of its impact, has spewed crappy rap all over the world and has negatively impacted almost every country in the world just from rap music, or as I call it, crap music. But America has influenced the world in many good ways through spreading the gospel like no other nation in the history of our planet. And I think there's going to be an uptick in that.

[00:08:47] And then the quality of how the gospel shall be spread around the world, I think, is going to be upgraded as well. You know, as BS ministers retire, sit down, and the more honest, straightforward ministers who believe in actually preaching the word of God, I really think that they're going to have a heavier impact on our nation and the world.

[00:09:18] And, man, that's a good thing. Oh, today's guest. Oh, yeah. Very special guest, Denise Edwards, who heads up the Zechariah 2.5 membership of wonderful prayer warriors from not only the United States, but Great Britain and elsewhere around the world. And it's been my, it's of my opinion anyway, that they've had a huge impact in the world.

[00:09:46] Proving once again that God does use, sometimes he uses small remnants to do some very, very big and powerful things. And by God, they are doing it. And we'll continue on this edition of the Ron Edwards American Experience when we return after this. What's up, folks? Stay tuned. Be right back after these important messages.

[00:12:45] Hi, I'm Denise Edwards of Cum Ministry, and we're thankful for the Ron Edwards American Experience.

[00:13:34] Restoring American and World Culture. This is the Ron Edwards American Experience. I'm Ron Edwards, and welcome to our Faith Day edition. And a big shout out to Ralph, Big Ralph. He's retired from the U.S. Coast Guard. Thank you, sir, for your service, and Godspeed. You know, my friends, man, oh, man, oh, man, where do we start? Which way do we go here? I'm going to start with the hard-headed, okay?

[00:14:04] Governor Pritzker of Illinois and Brandon Johnson, they had a news conference, and I kind of watched some of it. And when I was looking at these guys, they're very cocky. And they were being asked some very, very decent questions concerning their support of, you know, illegal border crossers being allowed to basically run Chicago and Illinois.

[00:14:36] And, you know, Big Pritzker, he just ran away from the logical questions. And Brandon Johnson, he just continued to sell wolf tickets, basically, basically saying that we're going to do what we're going to do. And it is what it is. And if I were Tom Holman and I were President Trump, I would, as president, I would tell Tom, go do your thing, pal. Go do your, do what you do.

[00:15:06] And I would dare, you know, Brandon Johnson to come up against someone like a Tom Holman. It would not end up very, very well for the mayor of Chicago. And it is what it is. And this is what we need in our country. We need more strong leadership.

[00:15:28] We need 100 Tom Holmans, one to go to every sanctuary city in this country with at least 10,000 soldiers and just clean house. Just do what they got to do. Because every week there are dozens and dozens of people that are being murdered, raped, robbed by these illegals. And the American politicians, the Democrats in particular, are doing nothing about it. Don't want anything done. They want to protect them.

[00:15:58] Well, let's see what our guest today has to say about that and some other stuff we're going to be talking about. Denise Edwards heads up, Zechariah 2-5. And they do a wonderful job weekdays at 9 a.m. Eastern, 12 Pacific. And boy, no, not 12 Pacific. I'm sorry. It's 6 Pacific. And anyway, let's welcome Denise. And hello, Denise, and welcome. Thank you. Good afternoon, Ron. Thank you for having me. Yeah.

[00:16:27] You know, I was talking about these Democrat political bullies who they continue to defy Tom Holman, President Trump, whomever, is against this evil plague that has been allowed to just wreak havoc from sea to shining sea. And, I mean, it's as if they feel that they have some kind of a righteous mission in their mind.

[00:16:54] But in reality, they agree with the evil, and that's what they're fighting for. And they just have to be defeated, what say you? Oh, I fully agree. And, you know, there's always comeuppance, as my dad used to say. And they will definitely encounter theirs. One thing's for certain was as many men and women that are actually praying for our state and our countries to become in right order and in right standing with God.

[00:17:24] That is definitely going to make it a lot slippier for all those who oppose God to keep their footing. And so, you know, all I can say is be careful what you ask for because they may get it and they may find that, you know, that that thing blows up. You know, and, again, we don't make fun of anybody's harm, but it does kind of make you think of the case here in Michigan in Oakland County where one of the caseworkers who was –

[00:17:52] their role was to help vet – not vet, but to settle an unvetted Afghan refugee that they just – you know, they brought a bunch of them over. They didn't vet them. And the refugee found the address of the caseworker in Orient Township, Michigan, and went there. And when the caseworker opened the door, they were stabbed over and over again.

[00:18:19] And, again, not wishing harm on people, but there is a real result of choosing to do things in an out-of-order way. And most of us – I won't say all, but most of us have experienced some results of choosing to do things in an unorderly way. And it is, you know, they say it bites you in the butt.

[00:18:42] And, again, not wanting that person to be dead or harmed, but, you know, what a tragic way to get the message across that vetting people is a thing. And, unfortunately, for that caseworker, it's too late. We now know that that Afghani was not one who was obviously serving and helping our military over there to conduct, you know, operations. Yeah. And I hate to say this, but it's the truth.

[00:19:12] You cannot be a true Muslim without carrying out those kinds of actions. If you are a true Muslim and all you have to do is read the Koran, I'm not making anything up. I'm not – you know, this is not an anti-Muslim statement. It is just based upon the written facts in the Koran.

[00:19:34] These are the kinds of things that they are taught and instructed to do by their imams, to fool the people, act nice, pretend you like them, and when you can, slit their throats. In this case, they just stabbed this individual several times as they were probably going for their throat. But it is what it is, and on a national basis, you know, this isn't the first place that these kinds of actions have happened.

[00:20:00] And it also is a reflection, Denise, on the fact that these people that are helping these illegals, in many cases, I'll say at least – and I'm being kind – 80% of the individuals who are helping out these individuals, I believe they're on a mission to help destroy the United States of America anyway. Because they're not retarded.

[00:20:27] They understand just from history what it means to have a bad neighborhood and all the crime, and they don't want to live in that. So when there are an agreement with bringing in millions and millions of people who are worse than any American-born criminal to bring them here to flood our country so it can be destroyed, in some cases, like you said, it bites you in the butt.

[00:20:52] What you wish for will bite you in the butt, especially – and it's a form of justice. And, you know, I don't like to read about people being harmed. That is not what we're to – we're not to celebrate that because the Lord would turn away his wrath from your enemies if you celebrate their downfall. But it is – there is a thing called justice. You know, the American church is being challenged in the same way the prophet Elijah confronted the nation of Israel.

[00:21:21] And the question was asked, how long will you halt between two opinions? How long will it be before we become a nation that stands up completely for what is right? We cannot be pretending, oh, yeah, yeah, we want God, but then supporting so many things that are against God. What say you? You know, I'm – it reminds me of a teaching I've done.

[00:21:45] I don't know if I've ever mentioned this in any of the interviews that you've been so gracious to allow me to have here. But I do teach a Bible study every Thursday at 2 p.m. You can find it on rumble.com and subscribe to Come Ministry. And I talk about that extensively. Listeners may find it quite eye-opening. But I talk about the power of agreement and what that introduces and licenses.

[00:22:12] And so, yes, when unfortunately people get led or misled into getting in agreement with sometimes things that have the appearance, the high glossy appearance of being good or benign or right only to discover, you know, it was indeed, you know, a deception. And so we're praying for our nation. You know, I think many good things have happened this week, and I want to focus on that.

[00:22:38] And, you know, resulting in beginning with Monday, our inauguration that we all got to witness and so grateful that he is living and not dying and declaring the works of the Lord. And we got to celebrate that and happy, of course, obviously, for the fact that many, many people this week were set free.

[00:22:59] The J6ers, pro-lifers were let out of their prisons literally, not just figuratively, but in the most literal terms. And I think that many people, many people, many people who have been put in sales and prisons were out. And I was reading about a lady named Heather Idenai. She's a friend of one of our favorite people, Denise Corcoran, apostle and chaplain Denise Corcoran.

[00:23:27] And she was asking me, did I know if she had received a pardon? So I went and I did some research. And, yes, thank God she was one of the 23 that was pardoned. But when I was reading the back story, and this is a personal friend of Denise's that she's known for years, she had a stroke while in prison. And after she got out of hospital, they still put her in solitary confinement for 22 days.

[00:23:56] Now, see, the stress of that. Wow. The stress of that could have put her back into a stroke conditions. But we're going to hold it right there. We're in conversation with Denise Edwards of Zechariah 2.5 fame. And we'll be right back after this. From the pastoral splendors of the Northwest Arkansas Ozark.

[00:24:23] I'm Lois Christie, and you're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience.

[00:24:30] Built upon sand will surely falter in short order.

[00:25:21] Hello, I'm Ron Edwards. On today's page from the Edwards Notebook, foundations are crucial to the success of any venture, whether it's constructing a house or building or nation. When the Founding Fathers set about to establish the bedrock of the United States at what define America's greatness, they went right to the source, declaring that all human beings are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. The Bible contains the foundational truth that God is the source of all life,

[00:25:51] sovereign over history, and our only hope for peace, happiness, and true liberty we all crave. In the biblical book of Genesis, the book of beginnings, we witness and learn about God's creation of heaven and earth by his powerful word, the beginnings of mankind's rebellion and sin, and then the calling of a covenant people through which he would bring salvation to all the peoples of the earth through his one and only begotten Son. As we the people seek to reestablish the concepts of liberty and justice for all,

[00:26:19] we must first reinstate the United States of America as one nation under God. If not, the leftists will see to it that the United States will become one nation simply gone under for good. God bless you, God bless America, and may America bless God. I'm Ron Edwards. Check out theronedwards.com. On the call, on the wall. In the heart of struggle, in the face of adversity and betrayal,

[00:28:54] And we're back. This is the Faith Day edition of the Ron Edwards American Experience. Thanks so much for tuning in from throughout America and around the world. A bit of good news. Lola Sheen, the youngest daughter of Hollywood stars Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards, has accepted Yeshua as her Savior and has been baptized after hitting rock bottom in her life.

[00:29:17] She's 19 years of age and she told her followers and friends on Instagram that her religious beliefs have made a major difference in her life after she fell into depression in recent years. And she says, Until I met not only my Savior but my best friend Jesus, I can't really explain it other than it was supernatural, but Jesus met me exactly where I was and he forever became my son.

[00:29:47] That's a magnificent story, Denise. If I ever heard one, what say you? I think that's great. If I, and this is, I'm reaching back into the memory files on this one, but if I remember Charlie Sheen's half-brother, Amelia Estevez, that was a son that Martin Sheen had with another lady, I love it, another wife or just another woman. I remember him getting born again a long time ago. I haven't seen anything recently about him,

[00:30:16] but at one point he did confess Christ. And I remember when Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards were having a lot of problems and, you know, he was doing drugs and he just was not in a good place. And he talked about praying for his brother and for their salvation for that family. So if he is still who I remember him to be, then he is probably very delighted that his niece has come to Christ,

[00:30:43] and I'm sure that gives him hope to continue praying for the rest of the family. So that is definitely good news. Anyone who comes to Christ definitely causes celebration in heaven and in earth. And, you know, it's kind of funny. I just, this just popped up here, a story about the media, the dragon or legend media. They said that they're, they're whining because they said that Trump is wearing them out.

[00:31:13] After years of, you know, Mr. Mr. Mumley peg and not having to travel much, not having to do very much, just hang out and have lunch and whatever. Now they're actually following a guy who's doing nothing but his job. And they're saying, oh, we're already worn out after five days. Oh, that's hilarious. They should have a lot of stored up energy.

[00:31:37] In fact, they have four years to store up a whole lot of energy because everyone knew that. I mean, it wasn't, it was not 80 million years ago. It was just, you know, four years ago that he came out of office and everyone, his, his energy levels were legend, his 15 hour work weeks, as I heard Carolyn Levitt said the same thing, that they have been working 15 hour work weeks since Monday.

[00:32:06] So, you know, my suggestion, take your vitamins, wear your track shoes and, you know, power nap. If he doesn't call you into the office, I will go find a place to power nap somewhere in the White House until you're back in rotation, that would be about the best they can do. But yes, they're doing 15 hour work days right now. Oh, wine sniffle hurt. But, you know, to me, that would be exciting.

[00:32:32] You're actually in the midst of the whirlwind of history because we're in such a state here in the United States that there needs to be a dramatic change and we're actually getting it. And to be in the midst of it as either a participant or a media person that's right on top of it. I mean, to me, that would be exciting. But it is what it is.

[00:32:57] You know, the contrast has never been more apparent between President Trump's willingness to engage with reporters and former President Uncle Joe Biden's infrequent media availability. Trump took several questions about his executive orders and pardons today in North Carolina. He also delivered coherent comments about his trips to North Carolina.

[00:33:22] And that's the other thing that they're very happy about, that when they do ask President Trump questions, whether they like him or not, they appreciate now, after all this time, coherent answers and a sense of normality. I mean, these are real comments. You just stuck that word coherent. Yeah.

[00:33:51] With all your proper English and of the ages, coherent. We heard all the compound in that. Wait, we're right. Thank you so much for the clarity. Amen. And I want to get your take on a place that even you have spoken about as being, in fact, as this morning, you talked about California in very glowing terms. And I'm in agreement with you. It is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life.

[00:34:21] Governor Newsom or Newsom accused President Trump of spreading misinformation about California's struggles with water, saying that there is no spigot that can be turned on to solve all the state's water problems. Now, see, that is a big fat lie. I know that much because when Ali Obama was in office, I remember when you can build barriers to change the direction of water.

[00:34:48] Man has been changing the direction of rivers and creeks and draining lakes and building dams to create new lakes since, I don't know, since the time of King Nebuchadnezzar almost. So, I mean, for him to call President Trump a liar with all the evidence. I mean, the San Fernando Valley was once the salad bowl of the world. But when they diverted that water, guess what happened? It's now a dust bowl.

[00:35:18] So, Trump is telling the truth. But this guy, Mr. Brillcreme, is running around here just so boldly just telling a lie that can easily be overturned by the evidence, by the factual evidence of those fires and the empty fire hydrants. What say you? Well, you know, I think the lying template is pretty grilled in on these people. And so I don't know that they would know how to respond truthfully.

[00:35:47] You know, we should check for ID and see if Gavin Newsom's his actual name at this point. I mean, these people, they do it in their sleep. It is just ingrained in them because they don't know. They have separated themselves from the truth. They did it to get the power and the financing that they have. And so to tell the truth might separate them from their little, you know, nest eggs and golden parachutes.

[00:36:14] So I think he's going to tell whatever he thinks people will believe. And I pray that the truth really is uncovered. Hopefully there's some whistleblower out there in California that will actually pull Trump's ear and say, hey, you know, by the way, this, thus, and the other is what really is going on.

[00:36:36] You know, we saw, at least I did, and I think I showed it to you, but I remember seeing on Instagram one of the California and one of the LAFD officers was giving a report and had an upside down cross on her neck. Now, for your listeners who may not be familiar with that, that is a direct symbol of Satanism. That is an absolute Luciferian symbol.

[00:37:04] And then another fire person was spotted with a Baphomet symbol on their clothing, which is a, that is the goat, have the goat headed man with the children wrapped around his legs. It represents cross dressing and pedophilia. And that is the Baphomet symbol. So just, I mean, and this is just us in another state just looking on Instagram.

[00:37:30] And these are the leaderships that show up to give press conferences or answer questions at existing press conferences, and they're wearing their symbols. So there's, there's, it's very hard to believe that any truth is coming out of the leadership. But I just hope he, just as he took the time to speak with the actual people of North Carolina and hear their stories and their harrowing experiences,

[00:37:58] I hope that he will get a chance to actually talk to real victims of the LA fires who can say, hey, look, we went to a hydrant, went to another hydrant, went to another hydrant, you know, dry. Nothing was happening. The reservoir really was not full, et cetera, et cetera. But that's who he needs to listen to is the people who are not in it to deceive, but have actually experienced this loss and can share that story with the American public.

[00:38:29] Wow. Well said. Are there any, we've got just about two minutes left. Are there any final thoughts that you have, any subject matter that you wanted, that's on your heart that you'd like to address? And as you also lead us in prayer? Well, I just briefly, I would ask people to continue to stay in prayer. This has been an extraordinary week.

[00:38:52] One of the most extraordinary of my personal lifetime that sees so many prayers that we have prayed for over the years, crying out for common sense to be back in the cultural square and Trump calling his campaign the common sense campaign and on and on. The J6ers, the pro-lifers, our borders being preserved and protected. Men and women is the only two biologies, the only two genders.

[00:39:22] I mean, we could just, the list is extreme and it's extremely wonderful to see the right order coming back into our nation. So I would just encourage people, please continue to pray. Obviously pray for his protection, pray for his preservation, and pray that those that are around him bring righteous, godly counsel.

[00:39:44] Satan is very slick, and if he can destroy, one of his favorite modus of operandus is to do it from within. Because most of us will naturally look externally, and he even did that in the garden. He didn't go out and recruit somebody. He himself said, well, you know, here they are. They're in the garden. They're under God's protection. But I'm going to run a campaign on one of his own.

[00:40:12] And that's what, and that is, you know, if it's not broke, he didn't fix it. And it's been working since the garden. So I pray, Heavenly Father, in the name of Yeshua HaMashiach, that every slick snake oil salesman, every slithery serpent that is trying to align itself and crawl up under his arm and grab his ear to release their lies into him, that he will reject it. Give him Solomon-like wisdom. For the sake of our nation, Lord, we need these borders closed.

[00:40:41] We need the banks to stop debanking people who don't believe as they believe. We need our police to be able to do their job and actually arrest the criminal. We need people to be able to walk safely on the subway and not be afraid of being set on fire, because they know the fools and the illegals have been collected and deported. And those that remain will say, you know, I better not try that right now. This is not a good time, because law and order is being restored.

[00:41:11] Lord, we ask, Lord, for your mercy upon this nation, which you have been so gracious with this week, but that it will continue. You right-sided the order and vindicated Rudy Giuliani. I mean, in the list of prayers that have been answered, Bevelin coming out of prison and hugging her three-year-old baby girl and her husband, and just Tom Caldwell, him coming out, we're going to believe for the full pardon that he so deserves.

[00:41:38] We're just trusting God all the way to the end that we are going to see such manifold manifest victory, and that we, the body of Christ, the true believers, will indeed seize this opportunity, that we will not let this time be wasted and sit on the sidelines, but we will jump in and we will make it happen for the gospel's sake and for the soul's sake. And one other thing, I'm grateful the U.K. was supposed to vote today about giving,

[00:42:06] coming down on the side of Palestinian two-state solution, and they decided to table the vote to June 20th. I believe it was a combination of obviously people praying, and I believe the Trump effect. I think this is, you know what, because they know for a certainty that Mike Huckabee and Secretary of State Rubio and Elise Stefanik of the U.N. are not on the side of a two-state solution, and they probably don't want to oppose Trump in his first week.

[00:42:36] So I'm glad that they backed down on that, and I'm praying that between now and June, the U.K. will begin to close their borders, get a good leader in there like Nigel Farage, and begin to turn their own ship aright as we are here in the States. Amen. Thank you so much. And hey, as always, it's a good time when you're on, and many blessings to you,

[00:43:03] and continue to do the great things that you do. Thank you so much. God bless you and Doug. All right. Take care.

And we thank you also for continuing to pray for the United States of America and Great Britain and other great nations around the world who are going through transitions right now from death to life. And I really believe that. It is that dramatic.

[00:46:32] The possibilities that we're going to see in the coming months and years. You know, the corrupt religious system that we've inherited focuses entirely on leadership, meaning the pastor. And the office of pastor has been created by the tradition of men, believe it or not. There is no New Testament basis for the office of the pastor.

[00:46:59] The word pastor is used in the New Testament, not as a title, but as a function and is always plural. It is interesting to compare the number of books on leadership and conferences for leaders versus books and conferences on cultivating body life among the priesthood of all believers. You would think that leadership must be the largest topic discussed in the New Testament.

[00:47:27] Yeshua up front told his followers that he was their leader and that he was their teacher. Yeshua and the writers of the New Testament spend most of their time explaining body function and conduct to the assembly of followers of Jesus Christ, meaning there are no big eyes and little use. God never intended for his ecclesia to have professional pastors and staff.

[00:47:53] He never intended for pastors to be top leader and the people under him as underlings. God intended for his followers to be a kingdom of functioning priests that serve under the headship of his son. To be focused on or to be concerned about the leadership as we are today without a loving, functional body brings about the disaster that we are living out today. The body of Christ is a family.

[00:48:23] It is a family who lived the life of Christ that is expressed through all of the members of the body, not just a few famous ones. It is to be a body life where all followers participate to guide and enrich and grow all parts of the body as they lift up Christ together. And to me, that makes sense because we are all equally judged when that time comes.

[00:48:48] You're not going to have a greater judgment of Billy Graham than Billy down the street. And so everyone participates in building up the body, according to Ephesians 4.16, by sharing what they themselves received from the Lord. Body life is the context for decision making.

[00:49:11] Leaders are never mentioned in what Jesus teaches about the problem of resolution in Matthews. 18 verses 15 through 20. And the final context is take it to the congregation. And I'm also reminded of the time of Moses. When he tried to take on all the problems of all the people. And he nearly wore himself out.

[00:49:39] Wore himself down to nothing almost until Jethro said, hey, wait a minute. There are many leaders in our ranks. Turn over the responsibility to the many leaders. It's not all you, Moses. The New Testament letters were written to the assembly of followers, not to leaders.

[00:50:02] The assembly at Corinth had a lot of issues, but Paul assumed that the body could take care of them. When you come together as a body, as it says in 1 Corinthians 5 and 4, I do not think that we have begun to grasp the significance of the fact that the New Testament letters were written to Ecclesia, not leaders.

[00:50:32] We would do well to focus on knowing Christ and sharing him with one another. Since there are 58 one another verses in the New Testament. Years ago, God gave a revelation. When it was realized that the United States of America was turning away from God. Many people realized that.

[00:50:59] Whatever is happening in our republic, contrary to God's way, has first happened in the church. I know that's a bitter pill to swallow, but that's the truth. Just look at the breakdown of the family in our nation. Wives and husbands estranged from one another. Wives not subject to their husbands and husbands who do not love their wives. This Christ loved the church. Male authority is trashed. Motherhood is trashed.

[00:51:29] That's why you have the tranny movement. And so it goes. But I know that we will get it right. For the good of ourselves, personally, and for the good of our republic. I'm Ron Edwards. And now that I see that my time is up, thank you so much for your time. That's all, folks. To exit stage right.

[00:51:57] Yes, and as I always say at this time, remember to pray for your nation. Pray for your family. Pray for your friends. And even pray for your enemies that they get it right before it's too late. And don't forget to treat others the same way you would want to be treated. I'm Ron Edwards. Until next time. Bye now. To change your direction. Change your direction to everyone.
