The Ron Edwards American Experience - 260325

And away we go. See see. See see. You see Say. Ladies and gentlemen, It's the Ron Edwards American Experienced Talk Show where our unalienable rights are celebrated. And now your radio refreshment Ron Edwards. Well, hello and how are you. I'm not Edwards and welcome to the Ron Edwards American Experienced Talk Show. We've got a very interesting show for you lined up today and we're going to be talking with Peter Cunningham. He's from Great Britain and he's with LLR Ministries and man, I can't wait to get into conversation with him about what's going on in Europe throughout Great Britain and some of the things that they've been doing. Kind of cuckoo in that nation. But here in our republic, most Americans now believe, according to an a people that the United States military action against Iran has gone too far, and many are worried about affordable gasoline. According to a new ap Nork Pole. As the war launched by the United States and Israel continues and it's fourth week, the survey from the Associated Press Center for Public Affairs Research indicates that while President Trump's approval rating is holding steady the conflict. The conflict could be swiftly turning into a major political liability for his Republican administration, while Trump is deploying more warships and troops to the Middle East. About fifty nine percent of Americans now say that US military action in Iran has been excessive. Now, how can you say excessive against a regime that declared war on the United States in nineteen seventy nine and has been acting upon that declaration ever since. What I mean by that is that Americans around the world have been murdered by either Iran or Iran sponsored terrorists around the globe. And in fact, Iran was hooking up with Venezuela to put in ballistic missiles that had the capability of reaching deep into the United States of America. And when President Trump mentioned that, people were saying, oh, he's not telling the truth, YadA, YadA, YadA. Well, just a few days ago, they released a world map and they showed the truth about Iran's missile capabilities. Suddenly Iran admitted, well, guess what, we don't have missiles that just reached one thousand miles. Now we can reach the European capitals, even into Moscow. And so if you look at that distance and then look at the map from Venezuela to Washington, DC, Chicago, Cleveland, wherever, all the cities that were actually listed as possible strike targets from Venezuela. And that is the real reason why President Trump went and got the dictator of Venezuela, because they were really closely hooking up there. And let's say if Kamala Aunt Kamala had a one and she was president of the United States, do you know that right now we would be under threat of missile attack from Venezuela and China would be in complete ownership and control of the Panama Canal. And I say that once you get into a fight, you don't quit until your enemy, your opponent, is unable or unwilling to continue fighting against you and doing damage to you. And as one who also has read the Quran and understands the philosophical base of the Islamists, see, they don't quit. They have long memories, They have our long held beliefs, goals and desires. Ever since the inception of Islam under Mohammed. Their goal was to take over the world and to destroy anyone and everyone that does not convert and do Islam. And so now you have Islamists taking over American cities. New York City, the greatest city in the world, Deerborn Astan, Michigan used to be Dearborn Ham Traffick, Michigan, which used to be a Polish enclave maybe twenty years ago. Plano, Texas, Minneapolis, they're spreading out like a disease. And Columbus. Just the other day in Cleveland, thirty three cartel operators were nabbed in that city, thirty three by ICE agents. The people that the leftist in America hate most because they're more in support of the you know, the criminal cartel members than they are of the idea of us being safe because comes in and takes them away. Now I think a lot of them, see, I was not in favor of us going into Iran initially. However we're there and rather it being becoming a waste, I say, you might as well finish the job, because we'll be worse off if when we decide to leave Iran as in a position to quickly rearm and once again be a danger to the world. And let's not forget China's been supplying them for a long time through the back door, through a Pakistan, and so I just think we're to the wise Americans like myself prefer peace. I prefer that we didn't go there. But once we went, that was the decision. Then if you're going to get into a fight, get into to win. Don't do like we did in Korea or in Vietnam and tie our own hands behind our back and then leave in disgrace, especially the way we did in Vietnam. Remember when we went into Vietnam, and there were those who wisely said we shouldn't do it. But once we got into it, initially we were winning. And then when Ho Chi Minh said, well, you know what we need to can you please come to the peace talks in Paris. Meet us in Paris and we'll have a nice negotiation. And General Poindexter oh Man, he was the decider in that situation. He agreed to tie military heroes arms behind one arm behind their back, basically, And that's when the Vietnam War turned, and so many more Americans died, and they it languished, and they were there a long time, and many of them got hooked on drugs, and a lot of horrible things came out of that situation because they were no longer in it to win it. And if we adopt the attitude once again, eh, we're here, but that's okay. We don't want to beat them up too bad. Maybe we should just go. Yeah, I believe in going, but on the way out, make sure that they're I don't know, maybe in the Stone Age, and you leave enough oil and things like that for the people that don't want Islam anymore to be dictated in such a manner to take over the country and they have something to build their wealth and to rebuild the country with. That's how I think about it. You know, we cannot be shortsighted about these situations. I'll say it again. Initially I didn't think we should go in, but once you're in, you gotta win. Well, let's bring forth our guest today. The name is Peter Cunningham. He's with the LR or Lancaster's Likes House Ministries out of bug Britain. I can't say Great Britain anymore, so it's just Britain, right, Hey, Peter, how are you, sir? It's a long time seen who we're here from. How are you, sir? Oh man? I think your volume is not connected or. That there you go there, well go hey looking up there on. Oh yeah, so let me ask you. You probably heard some of the crazy things I was talking about, how all of a sudden Americans want to get out of the war and don't care about if we win or not. And it's just as important, in my humble opinion, how you leave a war as you enter. What's say you on that? Yeah, yeah, it's very true. I mean, you know, it's been difficult here in Britain. I mean, you know, we've been involved in so many different areas of conflict, and we've got conflict of our own going on within our own towns and cities and so on, and it's very difficult, I think to you know, they need to both the USA and the UK, in fact, in fact any country you know, as you said, to leave a warm h if you think if you walk away and think we've left it in a better state than we entered, then that's a win. But I suppose the other question is, in whose opinion is it in a better state? Well, the answer is depending on who wins and who loses. I mean, for you and I, we want to leave in any form of what preferably in a state of peace, but a peace that understands the value of our Christian faith. M you know, if we look at other countries, I mean, let you know, we seem to talk about these a lot. You know, they're are Muslim brothers and sisters. You know, listen that they're as passionate about their faith as we are about ours. But the fact of the matter is historically speaking and a factual nature. That is a faith built on fear, and it is a faith built on on war. It's been spread by war as far as I'm aware, the Gospel of Jesus has been spread by word of mouth and acts of love. True very and even when there were times what they call them Christians, but it was most of the time Catholics who used violence against those who are non Catholics, burning people of the steak and things of that nature. At least in the case of Christianity, they were breaking our laws. Okay, there's nowhere in the Bible where it tells you to kill people if they do not convert to Christianity, whereas in the Qoran I have read where you are taught to murder people, to torture them, to enslave them if they do not convert to Islam, and it talks about how you are allowed to beat your wife to In fact, it instructs you in the Qoran that if you marry a woman who is not a Muslim, they instruct you to make sure that she knows that you hate her. Yeah, and so you are to be very cruel to her because she's a non Muslim. But it's not like they're very nice to a Muslim woman either, And so I find it very heartbreaking when I look at Cross the Pond and I see the beautiful city of London, and it is a beautiful city. By the way, twenty percent of the population is Muslim. But the Muslims who are twenty percent run the city. And the last time I checked, Peter, the last time I checked, I thought that Great Britain had a Protestant background. And yet the people of London and other cities have said, you know what, we're going to acquiesce. We're going to let the Muslims come in and walk over us. Tell us we cannot walk our dogs down the street. Tell Us, if you're a Jew and you just show up, you're at fault because you made the Muslims upset who want to beat you up. I mean, you talk about crazy work. And the people that put up with this, particularly ministers who put up with this. It boggles my mind. The things that I that I that I I because I love reading about Great Britain all the time, and and some of the things that are happening. There have been some victories too for Christians in the court system. We can get into that in a little bit, but I want you to address that. And it must disturb you to see your nation going through these kinds of changes, just like it disturbs me when I see some of the things going on in our country, with New York City being taken up about Muslims, for example. But say you yeah, it's I mean, it makes me laugh. Now, this country, as you know, thousands of years and it's called itself Great Britain. There's not much great about it left it's called itself a United Kingdom when it involves our wonderful other brothers and sisters in other nations, it's not even united anymore. You know. For me to call myself English is offensive now even to people in I mean, I you know, I love Scotland. It's a beautiful place, but historically there's been there's been differences of opinion between England and Scotland. To call myself English, I mean if I were to call myself an indigenous white british Man, which is what I am, heterosexual, well there's probably six different groups of people have offended there immediately, you know, and you rightly say this, this country historically Roman Catholic obviously became Protestant, and of course we're a good old enery. The eighth of there who the Church of England, And I wonder what he would make now, knowing knowing that we have this new Archbishop of Canterbury, now who's saying she going to make differences. She was going to make a difference in this nation of ours. Yeah, she describes herself as a feminist, no problem there. She has gone on record saying that she's completely in favor of the LGBT plus X y Z whatever community because God is a God of love, and she's right on that, and God is a God of love. However, you know, the question I would like to ask her is this as the head of the Church of England now in that sense, Archbishop of Cantergory, she completely lost all faith in the scriptures because the scriptures are very clear, very very clear on certain aspects of how one should conduct oneself. Particularly, will use the phrase sexually. Yeah, she's all for abortion, she's all for the LGBT, right, and she's using this cover up as all. You know. Even ministers from other denominations they use this cover up, don't they. Oh, Jesus loves you. Jesus loves you, and so I must love you. Well. Can we not have a Can we not have an adult conversation about this? About what the Bible says? Does the Bible agree with LGBT? No, clearly it doesn't. Clearly it doesn't. Does he say we must love them? Of course, and we do. However, if the Bible says it's a sin, it's a sin. And I've used this phrase before, I have never seen such a thing when it comes to scriptural references, such a thing as a cinometer to identify your level of sin, because sin is a sin. Yeah, it is a sin. And I just wonder, now, what, how are you know the people who who made this nation as large as it was, what would they be thinking right now if they could see the headlines in the newspapers of today. I think they would be very, very, very distraught. You know what, even though she might have had her issues, I think even Queen Elizabeth would be slightly alarmed at what has happened since she And I'm not saying she was any angel or anything like that. She was probably the only royal family member that I have had sort of a liking towards, but probably because of her World War two history and all of that. But I think she would even be taken aback what's their use? Think she would And I think I think she'd be rather disappointed in in how Charles has conducted himself, you know, since since a sad demise, since since her death, you know, the way he's conducted himself, and of course there's all this stuff with Andrew. You know. It's yeah, I think she'd be very disappointed. Now. I a few weeks not a few weeks ago, but a couple of months ago, there were her large demonstrations in the streets of some of the cities there, London, I think Manchester, and there was a big pushback against some of the policies of Starmer, who's a very disappointing fellow, to say the least, it's as if he got into office with the with the complete mission to literally destroy what's left of Britain, the same way that the Biden administration was doing in this country. It's like you mentioned how you wonder how these people come into power and they do what they do. Well, I think the reason why they do what they do because those who oppose these issues and these type of effects on their nations, whether it's here or in Great Britain, they don't have any stiff opposition. That's the problem. You wonder why these decisions are being made by church leaders here or in your nation. The problem is this began in the nineteen fifties when the heads of denominations began to be those positions began to be populated by people who honestly did not believe in the deity of Christ and were using their positions to water down the quality of teaching and the churches, to take sort of the starch out of the back the power of the church, and to water down its teachings, thus eventually watered down its impact on society. And that is exactly what has happened in this country and in your country. And until we get the backbone back in the church. And I don't mean one person here, one person there. There has to be yes leadership, but there has to be a coming together of a vast amount of people, not for a week in March, though we need some of those, but I mean a continual pushback and I'm never letting go. The reason why the Islamis has such a stronghold in your nation and here is because they never let up. They're not lazy. Our side has, in my humble opinion, been lazy and in some cases stupid and other cases cowardly. We have a bunch of what I call in our country wimpess AMERICANUS, apologeticus. I don't know what you call it in your country, but it is the It is the ongoing long term weakness in the church. And in some cases they just they just rather live and let live. Oh, don't, don't, don't make waves, don't be a problem. You're only going to bring heat on yourself. Well what did Jesus do. What? I don't know how many people that did the Catholic church burn? Did they say, oh, you know what, to avoid the flames, I'm going to do what the Catholics want me to do. But it was because of those people who are willing to sacrifice themselves, who willing to push on in the faith, that opened the door to utter greatness in your very nation. And once the Church lost that backbone, that began to peel over into government, which started making bad decision in Great Britain. The first big bad decision that made the start of the unraveling of your empire was when they gave away their seagate in the Sea of Gibraltar, and that started the peeling away of what they used to say, the sun never sets in the British Empire. And once they that started it. And then it was one decision after another, boom boom, boom, boom boom. And here you are today, still great history, but like the United States of America, you've given away, you've turned away from your history. Not you personally, but I mean your nation has turned its back on its greatness and what made it great. And here we are today, thinks of there's one good thing I can speak about. British military officers are embedded with Syentcom in preparation for a long term straight of harm mouse freedom of navigation mission. Now Starmer had initially said no, he wasn't going to participate in that, but Trump gave him a private, you know, tongue lashing, and they said that the navigation mission and meetings have already taken place with like minded allies, including France, Canada, Japan, which it all said no initially, and Trump, you know, brought the leader of Japan white to the White to the right to the White House and gave her a meeting. Then Canada and your nation has come on board as well, and in fact you're the United Kingdom. They say, we'll lead a multinational coalition to reopen and then maintain the strait of hermose. Now it's my opinion we should go. That should happen, but there needs to be alternatives built. Another pipeline somewhere else where that can be avoided and not necessary because right now, the United States, believe it or not, makes enough oil or brings forth enough oil that actually we don't need one drop from anywhere else in the world. We're one of the few nations that does not need any oil from anyone else because and we're actually exporting a lot of our oil, which I think is stupid in the time of war, but that's what we're doing. Well, what's say you about this? I mean, when you look what has happened, the church just said, you know, we're just going to be spineless creatures and let the people that don't even believe in the deity of Christ take over the denominations. Because it happened in this country. And that's why you see these people like whom you talked about taking saying she, you know, believes in the LGBTQ community because Jesus loves you or whatever she said. I mean, that's that's crazy work. But she's a non believer. Yeah, And it's ironic, isn't that she's the Archbishop of Canterbury, you know, I mean that the head of the church in the UK would be King Charles. I'm sure there's some form of hierarchy, but she sits at the very tom you know, she sits at the top with this. And as you say that, I don't they've they've lost all confidence in the scripture. Yeah, they don't. It's as if they don't fear, you know that that that day of judgment. We don't. I need to get my facts actually correct on this, but if memory serves the UK, you know, we sit on so much natural gas. Yes, that we sell and then buy it back at some extortion at rate, which is completely mustly barming in my opinion, you know, And I look back at as you say, the problem with with Brittain is it seems to Holway's hark back to its history. History is a marvelous thing. However, let's look at now, let's look at in the next fifty years, let's look at the next hundred years. But certainly back you know, not that long ago, maybe in the nineteen sixties, that the UK sustained itself. It built some of the greatest cars in the world. We've got gas fields in the North Sea and in the Irish Sea, which we've still got. We you know, we built our our manufacturing industry on coal. Now, all right, you could argue that coals a little bit dirty these days and whatever else, but the fact is there's thousands of years of coal left in the ground. If push comes to shove, this country, if it had the bottle to do so, could quite easily survive, you know. And I'd like to think with our greatest of allies, such as the US, you know, there's a lump of water between us, but we have these things called ships and aeroplanes. Why if these two countries work together at that manufacturing level, the US and the UK, we don't need anybody else if they want to go keep fighting each other. And because I've got a bigger pair than you have, well well let them. Let them carry on doing that. You know, we we it's about time. And I think you know, you guys have sort of set this standard now in the US. We need to look after our own look after our own interest. You want to come here on a ruby dingy, you know from France, saying that you from a persecuted country and you're a believe and follower of Jesus Christ. Well, I'm sorry, I've not seen the evidence of this, So I just get back on that dinghy and turn around because you're not you're you're not welcome. I'm sorry. You know, our schools here, apparently a few years ago, have to teach and there's a lesson they have with in school called British standards. And I used to think, you mean we've got any left what British standards are these? Then, when we've got Muslims banging their ends in the street during need, you know, taking over playing fields and public spaces and you know that the police are cornering it off for them, then they can do all of their prayer time. And well, well what what what if I want to walk in that park and I can't get through because the police are saying I'm sorry, you can't the Muslims are praying? Is well, really, so what what British standards? What are British standards? Now? Yeah, I'll tell you what, Ron, It's a very short list. It's not extensive at all, is it. Well it doesn't seem to me, but well it's there is a long list. But is there the will to start teaching that list again and following that list and being willing to stand on it, just like the Muslims are willing to stand for what they believe in. But there is some examples of victories in your country, for instance, you probably already know about this, a win for reality. Responding to the Darlington Nurses judgment, Yeah, Tim Dieppi, He commented on the landmark Darlington Nurses judgment. Just a week ago, the nurses received their vindication and a one hundred and thirty four page judgment handed down The Employment Tribunal ruled that the NHS Trust violated the dignity of the female nurses by allowing a biological man to use the female changing rooms. Now, this is a victory for common sense and reality. Obviously women should not have to undress in front of a man. Somehow this became less obvious to the NHS and so this case went to court and man it got kind of testy sometimes in just reading it from afar. But thank God that they were able to win. These are the kinds of victories that can be adding up and the Church needs to, you know, rally behind this. It was because of Christian Concern, which is a British organization. Yeah, very good. Well that has some common sense and so go ahead. I'm sure you have something to say about that. No, I was just figuring. I remember the case. I remember Christian Concern. Christian Concern a a marveless organization, very well worth supporting, very very well with talking about. But yeah, they have helped Christians in so many situations, you know, both financially and legal aid and so on and so forth. If they they've given you know, various assistance with that and they are very good. And this was one of the few cases where as you say common sense prevailed, you know, and a lot of I think the thing is in this country, a lot of people would agree on the same things. They would listen to this conversation and probably agree with ninety nine percent of it, but a lot of them won't actually state it right. Whereas I'm not really bothered. I mean, I do I doing the evangelism on the street, I do it on social and I always get banned off social media, and I don't really care about it. I believe I'm allowed to say something. I'm allowed to have freedom of speech from what I understand. But something else came to like through through that in common I think it was today and I know you quite like mister Nigel Farage. Yeah. He There was a pm Q Prime Minister's question Time and a lot of the Reform Party walked out. They were asking mister starbur he's a chocolate fire guard, useless piece of whatever he is, and he wouldn't answer the questions. Nigel was what about immigration, what about immigration? What about assistics? And you know, typical of most politicians, he was dancing around the answers and not giving the answers. And it's apparent that mister Farage and some of his Reform Party just just basically turned around and walked out, you know. And if that, if that's the level, if that's the level of an individual who's running this country, then he's there's there's nothing about the man at all. There's nothing, you know. Every time he goes on a different trip to get and he always says this, I've discovered it. I'm going to come back with a deal. Well yeah, but which deal. Is? It's going to be forced upon you because you're a wet lettuce are actually going to stand up And actually I'm the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and I deserve to be given some respect and listen to. But I don't think he does. I think he just walks in there and things, well, I'll come back with a deal. Doesn't matter what deal, as long as I get a deal. But yeah, we need Nigel Farage. I think he would, he would be quite quite the prime minister. Okay, I I think he has a change. But before we move on, I want you to tell folks about l l R Ministries and what it's about and even how it got started and what you're doing today, even with the radio side of it. And just give us a background. Yes, so Langish is light House Radio started in twenty eighteen and during the if most people might recall, there was a period of time where this this bad case of flu came out of China and through that a lot of the churches, a lot of places in and this country, such as everywhere else, completely ceased to exist. And as at the time I was wonderful, PM Mister Boris Johnson said, hey, guys, you can go back out with that's fine. Again, it became apparent churches went opening. They were still fearful, and I'm thinking, you don't have a spirit of fear, why are you closed? Come on, have faith in what the Lord tells us. Anyway, through that time we started having fellowship meetings. Just started out as a bit of fun, and those meetings were only supposed to last a couple of years. But here we are twenty twenty six and those meetings are still happening. We host testimonies, dinner meetings, Bible studies, so on and so forth. Yeah, it's been the Lord's blessed us immensely. It really has has been so good to us. And of course the radio is still still going strong now. Of course, with a couple of your own programs, and your wonderful wife denieces on there as well. So yeah, the Lord has blessed us immensely. Yeah, I understand the radio side goes into what is it over sixty countries? The last counts are hard and this is going to sound a bit crazy, but I'm I'm going to put my neck on the line here. Google analyticals which listen whether whether we actually believe these statistics or not, States languishes, Lights Tase radio is in over two hundred countries. Now I didn't know there was over two hundred countries. But in saying that, we have a lot of these African nations who were splitting and forming their own boundaries and therefore we're a different country now. And I know that's happening quite a lot. But I think the most important figure for me is Open Doors. That you've ever heard of, that ministry open Doors. They have a watch list of persecuted countries Global watch list, and out of the fifty most persecuted countries, Lankish is Lights Tased Radio again, through the Lord's grace and mercy, has put us into forty eight of those countries. So we're really prayerful that you know. Listen, we want these other two so that that starts marvelous. So your voice Ron and again wonderful wife Denise. Yeah, all these countries, the lords just I sometimes have to sit back and pinch myself a fit while the Lord, the Lord's used me for this. It is wonderful. You know, this young lad grow growing up on the on the on the back streets of Manchester, getting into trouble all the time. You know what's funny though, A mutual friend of ours from Cornwall, Yeah, has told me several times. She says, Ron, I tell you, man, because whenever he comes to the country, over to this country, he listens to my show, says, I tell you you'd be in jail for some of the things that you say on a daily basis. You'd be in jail. They'd be coming after you on I don't know how you get away with staying that stuff. I said, it's just common sense. Well you have to say, well you what is in your heart and what is truthful? And if they cannot take the truth, then that is to me, that is an energizing source for the church to stand up like never before. If you know you're telling the truth right, and those that oppose the truth are basing their philosophy on nothing but lies. I think that you are obligated to stand forth and tell the truth, because how else are people going to get the truth unless someone is bold enough to tell the truth. And I think that in time we will find ourselves in judgment not only for what we said just for our peers, but what we left behind for the generations coming up under us. And if we don't get back to laying down a foundation of truth, what good that we have now will all be gone and we won't have that, in my humble opinion, that chance for that last time effort to get the Gospel totally throughout the world. And that is, in my humble opinion, one of the main reasons why we need liberty re established in Great Britain, re established here in America, re established in Australia, and re established in a few other countries that have major economies. And there's knowledge about the Gospel so that that gospel can be pushed out and shoved into places like China, throughout Africa, throughout South America, New Guinea, wherever, Pakistan, India. Because I know the Lord wants us to get the word out, and we cannot get it out if those who oppose our way of life are the ones who are allowed to dictate what goes on, such as the case as with London, England or New York City. And so we have to just you know, get a stiff upper lip, as they used to say in your country, and and and and do what we have to do, and do what we know to do, because we will be judged by what we do when the time comes. And I'd rather be able to face the Lord and you know, welcome in by good and faithful servants, yeah, for a job well done, rather than welp, you were a coward, go be gone. I know you not, or I knew you not. Shove off, mate. And so you know, and I know that a lot of people that are running these big churches in our country who won't tell the truth about anything other than Jesus loves you. That's right. Just just come to the Lord and and just come in and and and be a part of our family and. Bring your wallets. Yeah, and just just and don't offend anybody with the truth, but just talk about Jesus in the way we do I mean, come on, yeah, Joel Ostein. If it's there were an arrestable offense for speaking the truth, there's only going to be politicians left. But you know what, to hades with these politicians, really to haites with them. If Muslims can come in there and have their way, then the people, the ancestors of the people who built these great nations, should be able to say, you know what, go back to your Sandland. If you don't like where you're at. You want to say death to America, death to Israel, death to Great Britain, then you know what, take your life and go back to Sandland, bang your head on the sand over there, to chase after your camels and your go and leave us alone. You know. And we have to start doing that, not because of what the leftist in your country or my country will say, Oh you're being racist. See that's the other thing they love to throw up in your face when you mentioned morality in the United States of America. Now you can be called a racist for just speaking about high moral standards. You can be called a racist for saying, you know, we have to get back to teaching real arithmetic, real science. This is how crazy the left is. But guess what. What's more crazy is that the people that think like that are allowed to have authority over what is printed in education books, what is taught in the classroom, what is now taught in the pulpit. Not all pulpits, but far too many. And so, hey, we got a man up that. I mean, that's the bottom line. And if we don't have if we don't have hutsbah, what else do we have? Seriously, especially after you've read the word and you know and you know that you know, uh oh, I'm more afraid of not standing up than then then then then then standing up and even risking certain things. I know a minister. He's very well off. He's a multi millionaire. The last time I saw him he bragged me about ron I have twelve million dollars. How many millions do you have? He says, I don't upset satan. Mm hmm. So you're out there trying to say this and say that you got people mad at you, But do you have twelve million dollars? I said, well, no, not twelve and so, and for about thirty seconds I thought about it. You know, yeah, I have to be honest with you. I thought about it for about thirty seconds. Then I said, I just can't do it. Though, no, I can't. It's not in me to compromise like that to as he said, not upset Satan. That's to me, that's kind of scary. What say you. I think it's a very very dangerous position to be in because if that's the attitude of the individual, you know, then as you've already pointed today, you know upon that day it will depart from me. I never knew you. Yeah, that's what's coming for him. And that worries me. It really worries me because you know, having the same heart as you, we we listen. If we can take everybody who walks this surf marching into heaven with us, what a marvelous thing, What a marvelous thing that would be. But sadly, you know, and you can point in the figure and say, well, you're not preaching the gospel. It's your fault, it's your fall, it's your fault. Listen. I can preach it every day, all day long. If people are not going to listen, I can't make people listen. It's my job and your job, and the job of every other believer to say listen, there was this guy right two thousand years ago called Jesus, such a wonderful man before miracles, and you know, he went to a tree for us, he died for us. Yes, he resurrected, and we know, we know this stuff, and that's our job. That's how we tell them and say, you two can have this eternal life. You know, no pain, no suffering, and I love that wonderful piece of scripture. And he'll wipe away every tear from your eyes. Oh how long for that day? Absolutely, and that's our job. But yet that there's so many people out there who say all the right things, all the right hymns, the you know, the pastor churches, in minister churches or ministries or whatever else it is they're doing, but actually, behind closed doors, or even not behind closed doors anymore, seemingly, they are not They are not followers of the way. They can't be. They just can't be. And that is so worrying because you know, you might have people in that congregation who genuinely have a love for Jesus and want to do the right thing. And that's why the Bible tells us, doesn't it, to go away and test the word but how many do They will hang on every word from that preacher, every word, never test the word. And that's very dangerous. That is so dangerous. And there's and as you said, oh I don't upset Satan, Well, these are oldly gods. All of this stuff you've gathered here is completely useless. You know, I have very little items. I have very little in regards of monetary value or even money. But I'll tell you something. I am. I am so happy because I know the Lord made a promise to me, and he made a promise to everybody else. He will provide all our needs. I have four children, they're all clothed, we have a house, they fed every day. Listen, I'm happy when I like twelve million in the bank. If I had it, i'd probably give it away, to be honest, not all of it, when I would bless people with it. I don't need it. It's a worry. It's a worry. And that's not just going on in the States. Neither. You know that happens over here. He does. I mean, I'll tell you a story. One time I used to go to this church, and one Sunday the pastor announced that he was closing the church. He had a very successful business and he announced he was closing the church because the church was interfering with his business. And I was like, now you've got that wrong way around. Surely you should shut the business because it's interfering with your church. But that's greed, isn't it. I have a love of money. He is the root of all evil. Yeah, and that had. What goten and engaged with him, and that was a very sad time for many many people. And he was a generous man. Don't get me wrong, he was a wonderful man. But that one scenario upset me so much. And I had a conversation with him about it, and you know, I expressed my concerns and so on, but to no avail. The church did close, and yeah, wonderful. He's a very a successful business man with a beautiful big house, a number of cars. You know, he's got all these worldly possessions. And it's like, well, what use today you got in your car? Now? And lets their fragments say, and God forbid you have an accident and die. Listen, that's as scary for how are you going to stand before the Lord and answer to answer to that one? Oh boy? That's listen. I don't want to fall down that rabbit hole. No, I'll stand all over, set in all day long. I don't like him, I hate him. I hate him with a passion. I love Jesus Christ, Amen. Absolutely. Now, I'm not one of those who has an aversion to blessings. If God blesses me and to that level, I'll be very happy in that blessing, because if the Lord blesses you in such a manner, that's what it is. It's a blessing. And I believe in turning around and blessing others. Be a blessing. I mean, be blessed, to be a blessing, and like you said, not be stupid and give it all away, but be a blessing and so on and so on, because the more wealth that is within the body of Christ, the more that we're able to do to feed the hungry to I believe in being in a position to help others, not only just to feed them, but I'd like to be in a position to be able to give seed money to people that want to start businesses. Yeah. Yeah, you know. It's one thing to give a guy a fish, but to put him in a position where he can fish for himself, and that is truly a blessing. And that's always been a goal of mine, to be able to turn around and bless others in a mighty way, and so on and so on. And you spread that way, and then there's more wealth within the Body of Christ to be able to push out. But it's not concentrated in the superchurches, but it's concentrated throughout the body, and the body as a unit is able to be in a position to push out the true gospel of Christ. I mean, when when the twelve Disciples followed Jesus, they were not poor. They liked to do you know, they act like, oh, Jesus, he was so poor. No, the last time I checked, there was a very wealthy woman, Joanna, who helped them out quite a bit. Yeah, And the clothes that they wore were not rags. And so they ate regularly, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So we don't have you don't. You don't have to be poor and broken destitute to be a good Christian. And that's the other thing you almost find these two extremes. People think it's holy to be poor. That's what the Catholic Church tried to push upon the world. Get to go around me, give us all your money so we can build these beautiful palaces. I mean, these beautiful cathedrals. And don't get me wrong, I love the looks of some of those cathedrals. They're they're so beautiful, many of them. But they didn't encourage the people to even read their own bibles, let alone keep wealth for themselves so that they could build a life, a better life for themselves. In fact, communism is a derivative of the Catholic Church. A lot of people don't don't believe that the founders of communism got a lot of their traits from the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church believed in you not having much, but you're giving all your wealth to the big bishop to the point he had guy you know, the hat the point and so yeah, and so yeah. They wanted you to be religious serfs. Don't read your Bible, so you don't know nothing, and got that mixed up. But that's why when the Protestants went to war against the Catholics, etc. You know, absolutely there was the Catholics that started the war because they were the ones that wanted to kill people who didn't believe as they did. You know, they wanted them to worship Mary, I guess, but and give all their money to build the beautiful cathedrals and not keep much for yourself. But that is the model that communism. And instead of worshiping marry, they said, well, you worship government. So there's a lot of similarities between false religions like Catholicism and others and communism, and they opposed true, the true Christian faith. And so you know, that's why, you know, we really have to buck up and be willing to push back. And I believe that God would honor us. I really do. He honored king. And you go through the Bible and you see these instances where men stood up against tremendous odds and law, and behold they won, they had great victory, and so on and so on. The founding of this nation by mostly Christians, they said, wait a minute, wait a minute, we're not going to be like them over there. We gave great Britain's great, but we want to be closer to God. And we believe as God's say states that each individual is just as important as the next guy, which means it's based upon the predicate of individual rights. Your rights is just as important as mine, vice versa. We have an equal opportunity to get into heaven. America was based on the concept of equal opportunity generally because Christ said, hey, you have an equal opportunity to get into heaven. Each man means as much as the next man and woman. But when you have these other concepts like Islam, communism, socialism, they negate that importance and they water down the concept of the importance of the individual, and we and people get lost in the dogma of of stupidity, in my humble opinion, the dogma of stupidity which kind of rubs out our identity, which comes forth and shines most brightly through Christ. And so I don't know if that makes any sense to you, but that's how I see it. Man. It's like, we don't understand our importance to Christ, not our not self importance, but our importance in Christ. And so you know, we have to understand that and realize that we mean a lot to God and act and act like it. What say you, yeah, I mean you just look at the I mean the phrase we use for ourselves and Christians. We all need to look to understand what that term means, essentially little of gods, you know. Okay, at that time it was derogatory, but either way, he's become the accepted term. And yeah, to to to misunderstand the importance of every soul to the Lord. As you said, everyone's got that opportunity. Everyone just needs to be is is it the wonderful Bob Dylan, You've got to serve somebody, mm hmm. You know, and what are the two sides? You're either going to serve the Lord or serve the devil satan? One of them was a horrible, cheating liar who wants to do nothing more than kill and destroy you, and the other one loves you completely and utterly, unequivocally. However, of course, that there are certain areas of your life you just might need to change. First and foremost is to just accept Jesus as Lord and savior. You know, I think over the years we've even made that a very difficult choice, but it isn't. It's such a simple choice. It's a very easy choice. And one of the Roman Jane said, what was I do to be saved? You know, confess with the may fan, believe in your heart that you shall be saved. Hey, it's that easy. And then when you've got that right, we've all been there. You were once a new Christian. I was once a new Christian. Did we get it right immediately? Oh no, No, it's a makes a long time. And am I getting it right now? No? No, I'm not. And this is the beauty I think of the Lord's grace and mercy. Isn't it that he knows he knows your heart? And that is so important to understand. We must not miss, under miss, underestimate, and forget and become so lazy. That the Lord knows your heart, you know. And in the years I've got to know you, I'd like to think I've got to know your heart. And I thank the Lord that you speak up and that you say things. Okay, our friend might say you get arrested for that here, No, no, carry on, carry on, carry on because I'll tell you something, you know, as in that time comes where the likes of usn't no longer here to do this? Who's going to carry it on? Yeah, he's gonna call. Who's going to have the the the gentlemen areas to carry on? Yeah? Not many, because it'll be wiped out what will be gone?
