Latest / Millennial Mustard Seed / S6 262. Jaco Booyens - MMS & Days of Noah - Sex for Good, or Evil
Transcript
- 0:12Welcome to the Days of Noah podcast where we talk all things
- 0:15biblical, supernatural and strange.
- 0:18Today we are especially privileged to have for the first
- 0:21time Yaako Boyens, an anti sex trafficking expert and just
- 0:28crusader for rescuing women and children especially from the
- 0:34trafficking worldwide, which unfortunately the United States
- 0:38is the leader in this despicable practice.
- 0:43Yako has been in this fight for over 3 decades and it touched
- 0:48his family as his sister was lured into it at a young age.
- 0:55But God has used that darkness for the two of them to rescue
- 0:59people, to bring awareness to this issue.
- 1:03And this episode really takes a very personal turn as we look
- 1:08inward at the body of Christ, at ourselves that we call ourselves
- 1:13followers of Christ. And yet, how much evil do we
- 1:16allow in our own hearts and minds that the spirit of which
- 1:21might go out into our city unrestrained and proliferate
- 1:28this incredible abuse of children?
- 1:33Such a powerful and passionate episode with Yaako.
- 1:38And we only had a short time with him, which is why Rod and I
- 1:43jump on and the latter portion to comment on it and really
- 1:49highlight some of the key points that he brought up.
- 1:51But we look forward to having Yaako back.
- 1:55And guys, I think you will be very encouraged, convicted,
- 2:00challenged and motivated by this episode.
- 2:03Thanks so much for listening, guys, and we trust you'll enjoy
- 2:07it. So with that, let's bring on
- 2:10Yaako Boyens. Well, we welcome everybody back
- 2:21to another episode. And I have my buddy Rod here
- 2:24with me from the Millennial Mustard Seed.
- 2:26Hey, Rod. Hey, Pete, how's it going?
- 2:29Good. And so we're going to do a
- 2:32little bit of a commentary on a recording that I did with Yaako
- 2:36Boyens of Yaako boyensministries.org, or JBM for
- 2:41short. He is 31 years into this fight
- 2:47of working to end and really just destroy the enemy's tactics
- 2:55in the area of human trafficking, especially child
- 2:58trafficking and child sex trafficking in particular.
- 3:02And so Yaako and I only had about 1/2 hour together due to
- 3:07some technical issues and some time crunches on his end.
- 3:12As you can imagine, he's a pretty busy guy with what he
- 3:17deals with and the people he rubs shoulders with.
- 3:21And so I was really fortunate to have the time we did.
- 3:24But in order to give you guys more of a complete episode
- 3:29closer to the hour mark, I thought it would be great to
- 3:32invite Rod here to do some commentary and kind of talk
- 3:36about some of the things that were brought up.
- 3:38And so without further ado, we are going to let that recording
- 3:44with Yaako roll and then come back and keep listening guys,
- 3:49'cause I think just the Holy Spirit working in Rod and I and
- 3:54in your hearts as you listen to these things, you will be
- 3:58prompted for action, for conviction, for edification, and
- 4:06be blessed. Well, we welcome Yaakov Boyens
- 4:11to the Days of Noah podcast. And Yaakov, I first came across
- 4:15you in Josh Peck's documentary Silent Cry.
- 4:20And yeah, and then years later I saw you on the Benny Johnson
- 4:26Show, and that's where I had that inner kind of Holy Spirit.
- 4:33Like I got to have him on our show because of the bombs you
- 4:37were dropping about the Wall Street connection and things
- 4:40like that to human trafficking and, and particularly child sex
- 4:46trafficking, which you know, you've been in this fight, what,
- 4:493 decades now. And I would consider you a, a
- 4:53worldwide leader and expert in it and quite the tip of the
- 4:57spear on it. And so welcome to the show.
- 5:03Thank you so much and honor to be here and always just trying
- 5:08to be a humble servant of our Lord Jesus and seeing search and
- 5:14rescue truly about human souls being searched out and rescued.
- 5:19But in our in our fight within the realm of human trafficking,
- 5:22child sexual exploitation, all the different forms of
- 5:24trafficking. And yeah, 31 years in, you know,
- 5:29started when I was 18. My sister Ilanka was 12 and she
- 5:33was trafficked, took six years for a longer to be rescued.
- 5:36And you know, and we just and we just never stopped.
- 5:39Praise God, she's healthy and still the greatest success story
- 5:42I've ever seen. She's in our ministry.
- 5:44She is unbelievably good at what she does and helping survivors
- 5:49and writing policy and she even consults SCOTUS for crying out
- 5:52loud. I mean, she's a, she's a
- 5:54tremendous force in this fight within JBM, but it's a demonic
- 5:59battle. We, we battle not against flesh
- 6:02and blood with powers and principalities.
- 6:04And unfortunately, somewhere in this conversation over the last
- 6:08two decades in America, you know, there was no conversation
- 6:11for the longest time, from 2001 till 2014.
- 6:15It was just, you know, trying to push down concrete barriers.
- 6:20And then conversation started. And then in the last four years,
- 6:23it's like everybody's talking about human trafficking, but
- 6:25they don't really understand what it is.
- 6:28And now it's almost an inverted effect to where it's too, too
- 6:32easy to talk about. People have lost that gut
- 6:34wrenching guttural disruption in their life to understand what it
- 6:39really means. And it's also becoming social,
- 6:42almost becoming social talk, which means people aren't doing
- 6:45much about it, you know? So it's really important for
- 6:48people to truly understand what it is and how how evil uses this
- 6:54thing called human trafficking to ultimately get a foothold to
- 6:58separate this country called America from its purpose and
- 7:02designed by God. It's really what it's about, you
- 7:05know? And so.
- 7:06Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
- 7:08Yeah. And as I, I was getting ready to
- 7:10talk to you, you know, God prompted me with some reminders
- 7:14from Scripture. We have an Ezekiel about him
- 7:18being shown what was going on in secret in the temple right and
- 7:24all of the abominations that were going on.
- 7:26And you know, one of the guiding principles of the of our show,
- 7:30and I'm sure for you as well with your ministry is Ephesians
- 7:33511 have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but
- 7:37rather expose them and, and our hope is similar to what Jesus
- 7:44said in Luke 12/3. What has been said in the dark
- 7:48will be heard in the daylight, and what has been whispered in
- 7:52the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.
- 7:55Yeah, looking at accompanying scripture would be Ezekiel 3377
- 8:01through 9, which is the anchor scripture for our ministry.
- 8:04And I think it's a it's a riveting scripture because in
- 8:07there Ezekiel talks about we are Watchmen.
- 8:11If you self-proclaimed as a Christian man or women, a son or
- 8:14daughter of God and Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, you are
- 8:17by default a watchman, you know, And so all of a sudden here you
- 8:22can take all the conversations of separation of church and
- 8:24state. You get all all these things.
- 8:27And it's right there. Now you are a watchman.
- 8:29You are to speak into culture. You are to influence culture.
- 8:33You are to bring the fruit of the Spirit.
- 8:36You are to be the light. But the watchman that does not
- 8:39warn of the injustice. Scripture tells us that the
- 8:41blood, the atrocity committed, that blood is on the hands of
- 8:45the Watchmen. So how many Watchmen, how many
- 8:48sons and daughters of God today look the other way?
- 8:51How many sons and daughters of God today shy away from speaking
- 8:55truths when it's not popular, speaking up?
- 8:59Only 22% of American pastors in 2023 and 2024 mentioned
- 9:06pornography in a sermon, did not have a sermon on pornography
- 9:11mentioned it. They won't even tackle the root
- 9:14cause of the subject matter. They won't tackle sexual
- 9:16immorality. They don't won't tackle the
- 9:19identity politics that's being played in this country.
- 9:22All these things are are mechanisms and tools that feeds
- 9:26into stripping away the identity of Christ in a young child so
- 9:32that they are more vulnerable for a predator to pounce on
- 9:36them. These are methods.
- 9:38And so when a church abdicates from speaking into pro-life or,
- 9:43or constitutional values through your, through your first, your,
- 9:47your citizenship of heaven before your citizenship of
- 9:51America with the gospel of Jesus Christ and the full word of God,
- 9:56right, is a higher authority than the Constitution.
- 9:59Because that's definitely how the Muslims operate.
- 10:02You know that a single Muslim in this country will stand in the
- 10:05court of law because just by standing in a court, they're
- 10:10putting the US justice system above Sharia and the Quran and
- 10:14they will not do it. Christians just bend the knee.
- 10:19Christians say there's trafficking in our city and we
- 10:22don't want to talk about porn. We don't want to talk about
- 10:25gender ideology because that's just socially even it's awkward.
- 10:28No, it's our duty as Watchmen on the wall to bring truth.
- 10:32Now, nowhere in Scripture, and I'm a pastor, nowhere in
- 10:37Scripture do you find the word nice.
- 10:40We're not called to be nice. We're called to be kind.
- 10:45And kindness corrects. God tells me as a father, I
- 10:50don't love my own children if I don't correct them, if I don't
- 10:53discipline them. It's kind to correct someone
- 10:56that's walking off a Cliff to say not that way, but this way.
- 11:01It's unkind to let them go to hell, literally.
- 11:05And so trafficking is this gigantic cancer in our society
- 11:12because Satan understands sex better than the church.
- 11:19And if the church would invest time with the Holy Spirit and
- 11:21ask the Holy Spirit, why, why make this thing called sex?
- 11:26Why? Why?
- 11:27Let's just talk real. Why is there pleasure and
- 11:30satisfaction? Why is there a stimulus?
- 11:32Why not just you can only have sex three times in your life,
- 11:36have three children and you lose all your desire?
- 11:39I've asked God these questions. These are my conversations with
- 11:42the Lord. OK, and the Lord's saying,
- 11:45because sex is a weapon for good, to bring a husband and a
- 11:49wife together, to leave the houses, your father and your
- 11:51mother become one with this weapon.
- 11:53When sex is healthy biblically in a marriage, it actually
- 11:56drives evil out of the house. It's actually a protection.
- 12:02But when you corrupt it, where? Where?
- 12:05When? When you literally make it
- 12:09unpure you, you're now inviting evil in.
- 12:13And now it's the most destructive force.
- 12:15So Satan knows. Look, there's no weapon more
- 12:17powerful on the planet than sex. Yeah, just corrupt him.
- 12:22I, I've asked the same question, Yoko and, and you know, and, and
- 12:26part of part of the answer that I come to, I think it's from God
- 12:30as well, but is, is it has to be a real choice.
- 12:34And just like in the garden, we had those trees that we could
- 12:38eat from and, and one that we couldn't.
- 12:41And it has to be a real choice. And yeah, when I, when I think
- 12:45of how much damage the human history, I mean the angels, for
- 12:50crying out loud, Genesis 6 is where we started our show, you
- 12:54know, episode one, right? That it they were attractive.
- 12:59I like kid Nephilim. I come on even the even the even
- 13:02the angels right thing. Sex is attractive.
- 13:06Right, and I'm I, I so I so I'm telling God in prayer this, you
- 13:09know, months ago and I'm like God, maybe you should have made
- 13:11like sex, like 50% is powerful, you know, but no, it has to be a
- 13:16real choice. And but you're right.
- 13:19And because because you know, I, I man my relationship, I love my
- 13:23relationship with the Lord because we have visceral,
- 13:25because the way God saved me was so radical, so radical.
- 13:30And I was raised as a Christian, OK, but but but not in a
- 13:34relationship with Jesus Christ, right?
- 13:38It was so radical that I wrestled God for six hours.
- 13:41I heard the audible voice of God.
- 13:42I mean, it was so nobody could convince me otherwise.
- 13:45And the Lord said Yaku, I asked him one day, I said, God, talk
- 13:48to me about who you are. And he said, Yaku, I'm
- 13:51profoundly simple. And I go, well, not really.
- 13:54And he goes, you just need to choose my son as your Lord and
- 13:57Savior. Believe that he died for your
- 14:01sins. His body was broken for you.
- 14:02His blood was shed. He fulfilled the law with his
- 14:04blood because man couldn't fulfill the law.
- 14:07Believe that he's the resurrected king, seated right
- 14:09hand of garden, Mercy's seat, and you're saved.
- 14:11That's pretty simple. And I go, yeah.
- 14:13And he goes, but I'm simply profound.
- 14:15You have to forfeit your life to get it.
- 14:19So think of a choice when we say choose the right thing in sex.
- 14:24Big decision. Not a bigger decision than
- 14:26forfeit in your life. Every decision that's worth
- 14:30something should cost something or it's worth nothing.
- 14:34And so yes, sex is so powerful because when you choose to
- 14:39depart from evil, repent, and turn from your wicked ways, man,
- 14:44the reward is heavenly, right? And so you can't want the
- 14:48heavenly reward, but what you're sacrificing is is of no
- 14:53significance. No, those choices.
- 14:56My, my when my daughters tell me, dad, this person made me
- 14:59sad. I go no person can make you sad.
- 15:03No person can make you sad. Yes, dad, they can No, you
- 15:05choose it. I'm offended that you choose
- 15:09offense. These are these are heavy
- 15:13weighted issues, but sex is a bonding agent.
- 15:17There's not a single culture on earth, hedonic, Satanic.
- 15:22There's no culture on earth that does not consummate and
- 15:26legitimize a marriage. But through sex, Satan
- 15:31understands the power. Do Christians, Do Christians
- 15:35understand that, man, when we make the right decision in our
- 15:41intimacy and sexuality, who? There's a cloud by day and fire
- 15:47by night, Man, I will fall out of the sky.
- 15:49Water will come out of a rock. You are walking behind the Holy
- 15:53Spirit in that moment. You're following the ways of
- 15:55God. If you don't, it will.
- 15:59It will tear a nation apart, and it is.
- 16:02Well, I was I was going to ask you when you're talking about
- 16:05the pastor's not talking about like the porn issue and and even
- 16:11kind of society. Even Christians were supposed to
- 16:13be Watchmen. As you said, we're not paying
- 16:17attention to this trafficking issue.
- 16:20How much of it is shame based because we're ashamed of the
- 16:24things we do from time to time, the things we think from time to
- 16:27time, And maybe Satan is just like got such a foothold on
- 16:34Christians. Satan, Satan understands.
- 16:38I'm busy writing a book at the moment and I can't spoil it, but
- 16:41it's really on this issue and praise God, I'm doing it.
- 16:43And Destiny Image is an amazing group that's supporting me in
- 16:47this. But the Lord's giving me a
- 16:48revelation. Satan understands the playbook.
- 16:50Americans love football. So let's talk football for a
- 16:52second, OK? You don't go into a football
- 16:55game. I'm a former professional
- 16:56athlete. You don't go into a football
- 16:58game with two plays. There's pages of plays pages and
- 17:02you study the enemy, you study the opposition and you
- 17:06understand the strengths and the weaknesses.
- 17:08Christians don't do it. They don't understand how Satan
- 17:11operates. They understand the layering
- 17:13effect that it compounds. It's not one thing.
- 17:17It's one thing that leads to another thing.
- 17:19It is. It is deception.
- 17:20It's smoke and mirrors, it's attraction.
- 17:22So when the church says well look we don't even know how many
- 17:30watch porn, I do 55% of all men who are self-proclaimed
- 17:34Christians have a porn account. 55% We are now at 58% divorce
- 17:41going to 60% divorce inside the church. 67% of all female
- 17:47college students watch pornography.
- 17:49Sexual immorality, sex trafficking cuts straight down
- 17:53the middle. It's no respecter of men.
- 17:55Satan has gave you a Christian, a Buddhist, a Muslim.
- 17:57It doesn't care. It uses sex to corrupt.
- 18:01And when the church starts normalizing it, meaning they're
- 18:05not speaking proactively into it, hunting that evil, rooting
- 18:09it out, training their young how to repent and turn from the
- 18:13wicked ways, then you're complicit because you're looking
- 18:16the other way. You're the watchman that doesn't
- 18:18warn of the injustice. It's a foothold that leads to
- 18:21another foothold. So we're forfeiting territory,
- 18:24Kingdom territory, every single day.
- 18:27OK, there, I'll give you a statistic.
- 18:29This should shock you. OK.
- 18:33If it doesn't, we have a problem. 3.95 million American
- 18:37women total between the age of 18 and 25.
- 18:41Now, we haven't had a census in this country that is the most
- 18:44accurate guesstimation. 3.95 million American women between
- 18:49the age of 18 and 25. That's all women.
- 18:52Christians, non Christians, whatever, right?
- 18:54Race, ethnicity, doesn't matter. 1.7 million of them are active
- 18:58on only fans. That's 48%, 48% of women between
- 19:06the age of 18 and 25 have either sold images of themselves on
- 19:10only fans, bought images on only fans, They're active on only
- 19:14fans. 50% of our future mothers think it's OK to sell your body
- 19:22for a for a period in your life. Then when you distill it down
- 19:25and you go talk to them and say, OK, what's your body count?
- 19:29They'll tell you, well, if you don't have more than seven
- 19:31partners, you don't have experience.
- 19:34You ask him when it when are the when are the times in your life
- 19:36to make money? They'll go between now and when
- 19:38I'm 28I, I can sell my body to make money and then I'll talk
- 19:42about a family and it's not going to affect my future.
- 19:45And I'm going to marry a man that'll honor me.
- 19:47I promise. No, you will not right.
- 19:50So it's this vicious claiming of territory, footholds in ideology
- 19:56and belief system. So what I believe, and this will
- 19:58be part of it will be in my book, is that there is a
- 20:02codependency. And a trauma bond between sexual
- 20:07immorality and faith in the Christian faith, where
- 20:11Christians are now bonding with immorality and they coexist
- 20:16versus rooting it out. They're living with their sexual
- 20:21trauma, guilt, shame, condemnation.
- 20:23So the first thing Satan does when there's sexual immorality,
- 20:26self stimulation. A guy watches porn.
- 20:29Ask any of them. I worked with thousands of them
- 20:31a month, OK, they'll tell you immediately, guilt, shame,
- 20:33condemnation. They hate themselves. 25 minutes
- 20:36later, they're like, I can't believe I did this again, right?
- 20:40When you start saying, well, perhaps I can coexist because
- 20:45I'm not hurting anybody. They think, right, It can
- 20:50coexist with my faith in Jesus Christ.
- 20:53That's lukewarm Christianity. God himself will spew you out.
- 20:56Satan loves that place. He loves that place where
- 21:00there's a trauma bond, a coexisting, a codependency on a
- 21:05little bit of sexual sin. But I love Jesus.
- 21:08I can worship the paint off the wall.
- 21:10I can. This is Chen Z.
- 21:12They worship like fire, but they're bound in porn.
- 21:16Who's telling them no, you're in sin, You are going to get spewed
- 21:20out by God. You are lukewarm.
- 21:24This is kindness to you. Can we please help you?
- 21:28Yeah. Have you ever heard of Timothy
- 21:31Bentz? He, he has a principle that he's
- 21:35talked about. We've we've interviewed him a
- 21:36long time ago called the gatekeeping principle, where he
- 21:40has seen, and it seems like to various degrees, it's not all
- 21:45the same for every Christian. But as a Christian and as a
- 21:49watchman, right, that what we're called to do, to be salt and
- 21:52light in the world, the principle is what we allow in
- 21:56our hearts can then go out in our home, in our neighborhood,
- 22:01in our city and beyond to various degrees.
- 22:04And he's seen that where, you know, he tells a story where
- 22:08there was, you know, half dozen Christian leaders in a large
- 22:12metropolitan city that were had, you know, hatred towards each
- 22:17other. And the crime rate in this one
- 22:19square mile area was off the charts until they repented of
- 22:23it. And so when it goes out, when
- 22:25the spirit of these things go out from you, it gets restrained
- 22:29because you have the Holy Spirit.
- 22:31So maybe it's just in your mind or, you know, on your computer
- 22:34and you know, in secret, but that spirit goes out into the
- 22:39community. And I'm wondering about when it
- 22:42comes to the trafficking issue and SRA and, and all of this
- 22:47stuff, the child abuse, how much is at the Christians doorstep in
- 22:55terms of their responsibility for what we're allowing in our
- 22:58hearts? Because if the culture turns,
- 23:01aren't we to blame for not doing our part?
- 23:05Man, I, I, I am so glad to meet you and I think we're going to
- 23:09build an amazing relationship because I love where your heart
- 23:12is. I, this is where I am at.
- 23:14And and people may frown upon this.
- 23:17I put it squarely on the shoulders of the church because
- 23:24let's have the let's have the other conversation.
- 23:27Well, how much, how much is the world to blame for this?
- 23:31The second you go there, you assume that Satan will self
- 23:35regulate. You assume that at some point
- 23:39Satan will say, you know what? I've brought enough death, death
- 23:42and destruction. Maybe, maybe I'll give you a
- 23:44break this time and I won't act in my nature.
- 23:47Now let me let me be very clear. Or that the OR that the world,
- 23:51let me say real quick. Or that the world who has moral
- 23:54relativism is going to have the same standard of morality that a
- 23:58Christian has? No.
- 23:59Well, well, the world with, with the world with mortal moral
- 24:05relativism can literally not think straight.
- 24:09They're not in their right mind. They're either under a spirit of
- 24:12deception or they're deceived. They're listening to demonic
- 24:15forces. So they're not in their right
- 24:17mind. So, so it's not even them
- 24:20speaking. It's not even them acting,
- 24:23they're literally agents of Satan at that point because
- 24:26they're in agreement with demonic forces.
- 24:28So they're just puppets being wielded right?
- 24:31This is why it's a battle of powers and principalities, not
- 24:34people. The people are not even in their
- 24:36right. A person in their right mind has
- 24:38a mind of Christ. You outside of mind of Christ,
- 24:42you're not in your right mind. That's it.
- 24:46And so they're being wielded left and left and right.
- 24:49So so to think that Satan at some point will self regulate or
- 24:53that the demonic forces will tell them this is OK now you've
- 24:56gone far enough. It's preposterous ABS because
- 25:00Lucifer, nobody talks about Lucifer.
- 25:03Lucifer, the one who once walked with God, the one who was so
- 25:07powerful that he had command over a third of the angels.
- 25:12There's never been a single general.
- 25:14And I've got generals in the American military that are
- 25:16friends of mine. There's not a single general in
- 25:18our military that commands a third of our troops.
- 25:22No way. OK. 1/3 of the angels.
- 25:25This is a powerful dude. He's a fault.
- 25:27He becomes Satan. He's a fallen Angel, OK, But he
- 25:30knows his identity. He understands his strengths.
- 25:34He doesn't break rank. His name is He who comes to
- 25:38steal, kill and destroy. That's it.
- 25:41He doesn't break MO. He never thinks well, that's
- 25:44enough. He never thinks well.
- 25:46I, I, I've played tough enough. It's the church that has to
- 25:51intercede, put into the atmosphere, the power under the
- 25:56blood and the authority of Jesus Christ.
- 25:59When you don't 100%, you're forfeiting your city.
- 26:04We did a study, over 8000 cases, OK, 8000 cases.
- 26:09And we looked at children having nightmares, OK?
- 26:13And the indicators double-blind was it had to be repeated
- 26:16nightmares. So a child would say this is
- 26:19just one nightmare, one of the most common nightmares.
- 26:22And people listening would say falling off a building and wake
- 26:25up right before you die. Running through an alley, people
- 26:28chase you, jumping in a car and right as they grab the child's
- 26:32leg, they wake up. OK, teeth falling out, these
- 26:35repeated nightmares. OK.
- 26:38Do you know that over 90% of the times when there's a repeated
- 26:43prolonged nightmare that a child consistently has, one of the two
- 26:48parents was addicted to pornography?
- 26:52The only common denominator was one of the two oversights.
- 26:58Spiritual authorities in the home was addicted to
- 27:02pornography. So what am I saying?
- 27:04When a father were a mother, as in pornography themselves,
- 27:08children were not exposed to pornography.
- 27:11The watchman. OK, opened a door and Satan
- 27:18goes, great, I'll go for the child, I'll steal the future.
- 27:22Because what Jesus said, if you train them in my way when
- 27:25they're young, they will not depart when they're old.
- 27:28Even the prodigal will come back from the swine if you lead them
- 27:33when they're young. So Satan goes then I will rape
- 27:35them, steal their innocence, break them sexually when they're
- 27:38young. They'll never know the Lord, the
- 27:41responsibility we have as sons and daughters of God over our
- 27:45homes and our marriage over our cities.
- 27:48Wherever God's planted to you, he's given you dominion.
- 27:53He's given you but but dominion is not worth I have power and
- 27:57authority. No, I have a story reverence of
- 28:01God for the stewardship I will be held to account for.
- 28:06Right. Parable to talents.
- 28:08What does the master ask? And what will he ask of you and
- 28:11me when we meet him? What did you do with what I gave
- 28:14you? Are you found faithful or not
- 28:18faithful? Now you've got parents that go,
- 28:20I'm not harming my children, but they've got a porn account.
- 28:23But they're a Deacon. They're a pastor.
- 28:26If you're a pastor, the church is also your house.
- 28:31So now imagine what door you're opening up as a pastor when you
- 28:35are in sexual immorality for Satan to go great, doors open.
- 28:39I'll take territory. We're now rescuing children in
- 28:45this country. By the way, America is the
- 28:48number one nation where children are bought and sold for sex.
- 28:51American children. I I work with every agency in
- 28:55the federal government under the Trump administration, every
- 28:57single one of them at the Department of Justice in my
- 28:59office yesterday. OK, I work with every single one
- 29:02of them. All right, 500,000 migrant
- 29:05children missing. Great.
- 29:06It's under a percentile of the amount of children being
- 29:10trafficked. It's American children being
- 29:12sold for sex. OK, up to 47% of all children in
- 29:18America being trafficked, 22% being the lowest #47% the
- 29:23highest. So 1/4 to 1/2 percents.
- 29:26Texas is 33%, tennis is 27%. California is 33%, 22 to 47% of
- 29:34trafficking of American children is done by their own family.
- 29:41So you're no longer just talking about opening a door for Satan
- 29:44to come after the children. You're now talking about parents
- 29:47partnering with Satan, selling the virtue and the innocence of
- 29:53their own children. The fear of God should fall on
- 29:56this nation. The fact that we are still a
- 29:58country, the fact that we still have a constitution, the fact
- 30:03that we still have freedom in Christ is a gift from God
- 30:07because we do not deserve it by our actions.
- 30:09Absolutely not. We have squandered the gift.
- 30:13And and if you look at, you know, from Jonathan Cahn, his
- 30:17first bestseller, the Harbinger on to now, you see these
- 30:21warnings. That's what Harbinger mean.
- 30:23It's a warning and and it's a reprieve I had.
- 30:28You know, Trump is not our savior.
- 30:30But the day after, I had that word on my heart, and Jonathan
- 30:37gets on YouTube and has that same word.
- 30:40I think we're given a window of time here to get our spiritual
- 30:43house in order before things get really bad.
- 30:46I got the same word. Funny enough.
- 30:48When I leave this podcast right now, I will be with Jonathan in
- 30:52person tonight. Oh my goodness.
- 30:54For three hours. In person Hi from from the days
- 30:57of Noah. I, I will.
- 30:58I was on stage with Jonathan where Jonathan and I took a
- 31:01hammer. It's on YouTube.
- 31:03You can look it up with Louie Ingle at the Million Women.
- 31:06And we literally took sledgehammers and smashed the
- 31:09altar of Ishtar together in Washington DC.
- 31:13Yeah. This is this is, this is, this
- 31:15is the battleground what you're talking about right now.
- 31:18This is the nerve when we go after this root issue for me and
- 31:24my house. Right.
- 31:25We'll serve the Lord well first. This is the temple of God for me
- 31:29in my house. This temple we will serve the
- 31:31Lord. So sexual immorality cannot live
- 31:34in this house, then it cannot be in my marriage.
- 31:37Then it cannot be in my physical house.
- 31:38Then it cannot be wherever God's planted to you.
- 31:42This is the heart of Jonathan. I'll be with him in an hour and
- 31:44a half. And, and this is what we if
- 31:46we're not in this root issue, we're missing the mark.
- 31:51We are and Yakko, thank you so much.
- 31:53I know you got to run here in a minute and I look forward to to
- 31:57chatting with you again soon. I got 3 pages of notes and we'll
- 32:02save, we'll save most of it for for next time.
- 32:04So thank you so much. This was this was wonderful,
- 32:08every minute of it. God bless you, thank you for all
- 32:11you do. Pray God's favor and hand over
- 32:13you. Holy Spirit goes before you and
- 32:16and just don't stop. Don't.
- 32:28Stop. So Yaako mentions early in the
- 32:30episode that sex trafficking rings have been in the public
- 32:35square. It's a conversation that kind of
- 32:37everybody's talking about, especially with that movie, The
- 32:40Sound of Freedom. And it's kind of lost a little
- 32:43bit from his perspective. And I would agree slightly that
- 32:47it's lost some of that gut wrenching reality check and that
- 32:52he fears that this surprise factor kind of lessening has
- 32:56people stepping out of the way of taking responsibility to
- 32:59prevent it. It's like a conversation less of
- 33:03let's act and respond. And I thought that was prolific.
- 33:07I think this should be highly enforced, a high calling for the
- 33:10body of Christ to step in with prayer first of all, but also
- 33:16funds and facilitating people that are in repair from these
- 33:21trauma loops of sexual, physical, even mental and
- 33:25spiritual abuse. Just as the government should be
- 33:29taking care of our military soldiers, we see a lack of that.
- 33:33I don't think the body of Christ has an excuse.
- 33:35We are the light that is standing against these tragic
- 33:38issues. That should no longer just be a
- 33:41conversation, but literally it should be a preventative act
- 33:45where we all have the same mind, the same idea.
- 33:48Let's rescue. Let's prevent.
- 33:49Let's educate. Yeah, yeah, That is a good
- 33:53point. Thanks for bringing that up.
- 33:54Because it has in a lot of ways lost its shock value and, you
- 34:03know, not to draw attention to it.
- 34:04But the name of the album from Jane's Addiction decades ago?
- 34:09Nothing shocking. I mean, that's the generation
- 34:12we're in, especially with what can be seen and heard just about
- 34:18anywhere in this age of information, many of it not so
- 34:23good. But we're called to be Watchmen,
- 34:27and to do something about it, and to deal with our own sin
- 34:32issues, our own shortcomings. And if the Watchmen aren't
- 34:37warning, you know, we're, man, what are we doing?
- 34:44So these issues need to be brought up.
- 34:49They need to be shouted from the rooftops.
- 34:51They need to be people getting involved, not just hearing these
- 34:57issues, but doing something about it.
- 35:01And I think that's the call. Yeah, I mean, Pete, there's two
- 35:10things, you know, within the first maybe 10 minutes where
- 35:14Yaakov mentioned that Satan understands sex better than the
- 35:17Church. This is prolific because I, I
- 35:21agree to some extent. I really do.
- 35:24I mean, there's a lot of commentary I could go into, but
- 35:27to keep it short and sweet, absolutely.
- 35:30It's a problem. Now, where do we begin to remedy
- 35:34that? Obviously in the word of God and
- 35:37looking at a, a healthy biblical conversation to entertain what
- 35:43sex should look like. Where do we begin with that?
- 35:46I mean, because it is an uncomfortable topic for a lot of
- 35:48people. And then Pete, you mentioned
- 35:50after he says this, that the very first thing Satan tried to
- 35:55corrupt and control was sex. When you look at Genesis 64,
- 35:59it's like the first big billboard where the enemy's
- 36:02like, oh, that's our first choice of corruption and we know
- 36:06what that led to, a mixture, A Nephilim, a fallen entity.
- 36:11So it is a bit of the beginning and very easily recognizable a
- 36:17part of the end game of the enemy.
- 36:20Yeah, it's it really is probably the most strongest theme in
- 36:29human history is this misuse and corruption of sex.
- 36:36And it's a weapon. Weapons are always dangerous,
- 36:41either for good or evil, but they're never neutral.
- 36:46And I was thinking of this, listening to, you know, the
- 36:51passion that that Yaakov presents these things.
- 36:54I was thinking of how firearms are used.
- 37:00They're a weapon, but statistically they are more
- 37:05often used as a defensive tool then an offensive tool.
- 37:11Something like a million crimes are prevented every year in the
- 37:18United States without firing a shot.
- 37:22In most cases, simply presenting A firearm can cause the defense
- 37:30to rise up and stop that offense of evil.
- 37:35And so thinking of sexuality as a weapon, whoever's wielding it,
- 37:43I mean, if we're wielding it for good, as a defense, if we're
- 37:48doing it in the right way, if we're using it in the right
- 37:51ways, in the God honoring ways in our families, then it's a
- 37:56defense against the enemy. And Yaakov even hinted as an
- 38:01offense, I would love to pick his brain some more on unpacking
- 38:07that. How can be an offensive weapon
- 38:12for the Kingdom and for the family unit, but as a defensive
- 38:17weapon and then in the hands of the enemy it's an offensive
- 38:23weapon against us and isn't? Boy, I just think of that
- 38:28firearm analogy again, Rod, I think, I really think that's you
- 38:32think of law abiding gun owners. They are using it in the right
- 38:39way to defend life or just stop a threat or a crime.
- 38:45Most of those don't get reported because the crime was foiled.
- 38:50What do the non law abiding do with firearms?
- 38:57They use it to cause damage. They use it to hurt.
- 39:01They use it in a corrupting way. I think that's really a parallel
- 39:06of sexuality as a weapon and how it is used for good or evil.
- 39:14Yeah, that's profound, Pete. Shameless plug.
- 39:18The song I just dropped, Trauma Cycles, a part of the chorus is
- 39:22Reload My Life Like a Rifle. And it's this cry of, you know,
- 39:29God, bring that power back, refresh it, make it new.
- 39:32I know all of us have, as the Bible says, we struggle among
- 39:38the commonality. The problems of man and women
- 39:42are not so distant or different as some would assume.
- 39:48And a lot of that cries from the damage I've created in my life
- 39:52through loss, through anger, through lack of faith.
- 39:55And I just think what you said is so profound to just kind of
- 39:59riff on that for a minute. Yoko mentioned that every
- 40:06satanic organization at one time or another is noted for using
- 40:10sex as a control, a covenant, an initiation, A trauma cycle.
- 40:20I mean that really it's it's not.
- 40:24It's known as public. Everybody knows satanic
- 40:26organizations. There's sexual acts that take
- 40:29place between individuals or a group of individuals and it's
- 40:32some type of sick covenant or you know, demonic agreement that
- 40:38takes place within these these covenants.
- 40:41And at many times a innocent individual is victimized during
- 40:48this process. This shines right back to the
- 40:50Genesis 64 narrative in my opinion, where the first thing
- 40:54that Satan captured to create shame and and silence and guilt
- 40:58on and alterations is the same thing we see his siblings doing
- 41:07today. And this shame based silence.
- 41:11You commented on this maybe halfway through the episode,
- 41:14Pete, you had a response that was a shame based silence in the
- 41:20church because there's a lot of people that are struggling.
- 41:23In my opinion, from a couple different perspectives.
- 41:25My vulnerability is sex was uncomfortable to talk about
- 41:29because it wasn't in the Christianese when I first came
- 41:32to the Lord at 25 years old. You know, it was like an awkward
- 41:36conversation, Like, why would we talk about that, right?
- 41:39And then there's the whole entire pornography issue where
- 41:42the first time I was introduced to pornography, I'm like 14
- 41:45years old and my oldest sister's boyfriend at the time handed me
- 41:49and a bunch of my friends a stack of porno magazines.
- 41:52I mean, talk of like, there was no governor.
- 41:55We didn't really know what was wrong or right.
- 41:58I mean, that's a common story probably between a ton of men in
- 42:02this country and around the world.
- 42:04And I just think about the shame silence.
- 42:06You know, statistically, 50 plus percent of men are struggling
- 42:10with pornography in the church. So are people remaining silent
- 42:16because there's the guilt and shame?
- 42:18For me personally, just looking back on the course of my life, I
- 42:23do feel a bit of shame because I'm like, Dang, I was just like
- 42:26that. But I want to encourage
- 42:29everybody out there that the moment we take a public stance
- 42:32and we're saying God, reload my life like a rifle, change me,
- 42:36fill me up, correct me, right, like David said, expose all the
- 42:42things in me that aren't right and lead me in the way
- 42:45everlasting. This now becomes a body effort.
- 42:48And it does take humility and vulnerability to put yourself in
- 42:51that position. Yeah, just last night I I
- 42:57watched again. It's been a few years since I've
- 42:58seen it, Slumdog Millionaire. And there's a, there's a,
- 43:04there's a line in there that I'm going to paraphrase when the
- 43:09police officer is interviewing Jamal and because he thinks
- 43:14Jamal is, is cheating on the game show and he says money and
- 43:19women, but I'm going to say money and sex.
- 43:22He says money and sex, the reasons for most mistakes in
- 43:26life. Looks like you've mixed up with
- 43:28both. He says, boy, if that doesn't
- 43:32say it. But yeah, the enemy knows what
- 43:35to go go after. Yeah, you mentioned the the, the
- 43:44shame issue of weakening us. I really do think, I mean, it's
- 43:48uncomfortable. It's taboo to talk about.
- 43:53We feel like we can't talk about it or we don't want to unless we
- 43:57have a perfect track record. Exactly.
- 44:00And point is that and that's where the enemy wants us, just
- 44:05weakened that's. So unrealistic, Pete.
- 44:10It it is it is, but. Fallen from the glory of God
- 44:13from one sin over because we're not pointing out and saying this
- 44:17sins worse than that one or that, you know, we're just the
- 44:20vulnerability to be like, hey, this is a problem, right, Rick,
- 44:24the chains. Yeah, and and the porn issue
- 44:27too, because this isn't like, well, alcohol, alcoholism.
- 44:32If I just stay away from the bar and don't go to the gas station
- 44:36and pick up a six pack, I'm good.
- 44:40You know, we're carrying around devices that have a world of
- 44:44vice right on it. And if we don't have the
- 44:49accountability, the filters, just the the life structures in
- 44:56place, it's, it's so it's too easy, you know, and he, he
- 45:04brought up about the study on nightmares.
- 45:08Boy, that one really hit home. Actually, that.
- 45:10Yeah, it did. I I forget how long ago it was.
- 45:13Thankfully it, it's wasn't recent, but I recall a situation
- 45:19where my daughter had a nightmare and I wondered if it
- 45:23was because I had been searching some things.
- 45:30Again, thankfully that's in the further and further distant
- 45:34past, but I'm not immune to it. I was really challenged by that
- 45:39and I, I sent Yako a text on that, that I, I didn't really go
- 45:44into details, but that's been really encouraging to me to see
- 45:48how the enemy had an inn, has an inn.
- 45:55When we give in in this area to our families to attack, even in
- 46:00their dreams, our children, I don't want any part of that.
- 46:08So that's really been encouraging to me on my faith
- 46:13and purity journey. Since hearing that from him, I
- 46:17always had that inkling. I always wondered when that
- 46:21happened once or twice if that was opening the door.
- 46:28But Rod, you mentioned about the trauma trauma loop and and
- 46:35Yaakov mentions the trauma bond of compromise.
- 46:38We're making a compromise by making peace with our sin.
- 46:43And I would say and becoming callous, we can get to a point
- 46:48where, you know, the ref has been blowing his whistle so much
- 46:54he just throws his hands up and walks off the field.
- 46:58We're not even hearing it anymore.
- 47:01God help us. It went if we get to that place.
- 47:04And I was praying on that this morning.
- 47:06Boy, there's areas where it's like, did I even have any
- 47:10conviction over that recently? You know, something I, I thought
- 47:15or, or saw or whatever, like, boy, where have I become
- 47:20callous? So Rod and I are are kind of
- 47:23being a little bit vulnerable here and asking you guys to ask
- 47:26yourselves those questions and asking God to give you a heart
- 47:30of flesh where maybe it's become callous.
- 47:35Well, statistically, one of the crazy things that Yaakov brings
- 47:39up is 48% of women across all religious spectrums in the
- 47:43country are active and only fans.
- 47:48So it takes 2 to tango in the sense if you're in a marriage or
- 47:53a relationship or even trying to position yourself for marriage,
- 47:57which the apostle Paul nailed it.
- 47:58He's like not all of you are meant to to be married.
- 48:01He's like this isn't God advice. But from his opinion, he shares
- 48:05that very clearly. If you don't know that, go read
- 48:07it. But so we know that young men,
- 48:11most testimonials are 131415 years old.
- 48:18They're introduced to porn even younger.
- 48:19Statistically today, if you do a search, it's like 10 and 11
- 48:23years old. It's progressively gotten worse.
- 48:26So now we have a generation of people that are anywhere between
- 48:2918 and 40 years old where there's some pollution, right?
- 48:35That this, this is where the shift needs to take place.
- 48:37And repentance is not just something that happens in our
- 48:40mind, it's something we're supposed to turn away from.
- 48:44And I know that there's many people hearing my voice right
- 48:47now that had just struggled within the last 24 hours on this
- 48:50topic. And you might not have expected
- 48:53to hear it on the days of Noah or hear the MMS commenting on it
- 48:57because hey, what about talking about the Nephilim?
- 49:00This is this is the product of what the Nephilim have done to
- 49:03us societally. And Yaakov talked about, you
- 49:09know, maybe 3/4 of the way through the interview, Pete,
- 49:12that women, the first three things that they mention after
- 49:16being active on all the fans or, or any of the sexual immorality
- 49:20is guilt, shame and condemnation.
- 49:25And how many men out there are feeling the same thing from
- 49:29participating at a distance through your phone or the unruly
- 49:33activity of courting a woman outside of marriage?
- 49:37I mean, it's a real problem. And I just want to honor you,
- 49:42Pete, for taking this topic on with, you know, publicly.
- 49:46But I I've thought about it for for a while now.
- 49:49I mean, ever since Doctor Laura came on and talked about a godly
- 49:53marriage battle for a godly marriage.
- 49:55We called it. And I really think the other end
- 49:58of it is the meteor conversation of what are the tripping points
- 50:03in our lives, not just marriage, but if we're the bride of
- 50:06Christ, the more important marriage.
- 50:10The bride is said to be prepared and ready with oil lacking
- 50:15nothing. And I don't think we're there.
- 50:18I agree with the the reprieve language that you and him both
- 50:21talk about. It's so funny, Pete, you text me
- 50:25like the night or the next morning when I literally was
- 50:29taking notes on reprieve. And so I had four confirmations
- 50:33come in through different believers on the word reprieve
- 50:37the same day. And I'm like, something's there.
- 50:40So it was profound to hear that you and you know, Yaakov Yaakov,
- 50:45get into this because I'm going, wow.
- 50:49We only see little snippets of the agreement and how the
- 50:52spirit's working. It's kind of massaging the body
- 50:55in pockets. And now here we are a year later
- 50:58going, are we gatekeeping in some sort?
- 51:03You want to refresh on the gatekeeping thing with Tim
- 51:06Bence. You mentioned that in the
- 51:07episode somewhere as well. Yeah, that that has to do with
- 51:11being stewards. But let me just say this.
- 51:13I mean, I've said this phrase a few times.
- 51:16I I think I'm borrowing it probably from Frank Viola in his
- 51:20books. But the call of the body of
- 51:24Christ, of his bride, the church, is to make the invisible
- 51:28Christ visible. And it's so interesting that
- 51:32what the picture I got in my mind when you were just talking
- 51:35about confirmation amongst believers of what the Spirit is
- 51:43showing us, leading us, confirming things, highlighting
- 51:46things. When we get together with other
- 51:51believers and we hash these things out and we talk about
- 51:56these things and we encourage one another.
- 52:00We listen to podcasts, hopefully like this that encourage you in
- 52:04your faith and we get involved in the fight like Yaako is
- 52:09doing. I think we really get a better
- 52:14sense of Christ being active. It's almost like you get us in a
- 52:21room and suddenly Christ takes shape.
- 52:25Like you can start to see him. You know, I picture the flip
- 52:30side of that in the Lord of the Rings with Sauron as he's, he's
- 52:33amassing his armies and Gandalf is, is like he's not yet able to
- 52:39take physical form. He doesn't have his full
- 52:42strength yet. I mean, that's kind of how we
- 52:45are as the body of Christ. As we come together, encourage
- 52:49one another and spur US one another on to good works, we are
- 52:58making that Christ visible. But yeah, talking about the
- 53:03gatekeeping principle of what we allow in our hearts can go out
- 53:09unrestrained to the parts of our family, neighborhood, city,
- 53:16beyond unrestrained for those without the Holy Spirit within
- 53:21them. We might be setting that ablaze,
- 53:26and that's a sobering thought when it comes to what I might
- 53:30allow in my own mind and heart. Could I be sending out a spirit
- 53:37of sexual sin into my city that then proliferates child sex
- 53:46trafficking? Human trafficking?
- 53:49That is a sobering thought, and we don't know to what extent God
- 53:55has placed each of us as gatekeepers, but wherever he has
- 54:00planted us, Yaakov said. We're stewards either for light
- 54:06or for dark, and if the light within us is dark, how dark is
- 54:12that darkness? Pete, I'm really thinking about
- 54:21this issue that Yaakov mentioned where the enemy is not going to
- 54:26regulate his destruction. It's his full enforced method is
- 54:32lie, kill, steal and destroy. He's not negating from that by
- 54:39any means. And so I think Yaakov went on to
- 54:43kind of talk about that the world doesn't have the right
- 54:48mind to handle this issue because it's the spirit of the
- 54:50world, but we're not of this world.
- 54:54And that the only mind that can source this out,
- 54:58compartmentalize it, and make an attempted correction is going to
- 55:03be the mind of Christ. And that is with the body that
- 55:08is with us, just as you mentioned, Pete, when we come
- 55:11together and start the fire on all cylinders, like a clean
- 55:15running motor, that's when you have power.
- 55:20The last thing I want to share statistically is parents, Yoko
- 55:25mentions in America are the first offenders with children
- 55:30going into sex slavery. Parents are selling their kids
- 55:35into this industry. This is horrific.
- 55:39I know that everyone's at a different walk of faith, but if
- 55:43you're listening to this and you're aware of anything like
- 55:47that, that needs to be brought to justice, but I'm going to
- 55:50leave that between you and the Lord.
- 55:53You have a part to play. You need to speak to the Lord
- 55:57and see what He's going to move your heart to do to bring that
- 56:00to justice. Vulnerability.
- 56:04When I was five years old, I had to testify in court because
- 56:09another family member tried to abuse one of my other family
- 56:14members, and I was a portion at witness of that.
- 56:18That was trauma for me at five years old to have to go into a
- 56:24courtroom and testify. How many silent stories remain?
- 56:30How many broken hearts and trauma cycles remain?
- 56:34If I remember correctly, we're supposed to let our light shine
- 56:40and that is going to take some hard conversations, a reality
- 56:44check and vulnerability. Because I am not the product of
- 56:49what I saw. You are not the product of what
- 56:51happened to you. You are the Lords.
- 56:54You belong to him and he has a plan in his perfect timing to
- 57:01make it right. We just have to take a walk with
- 57:04him. There's a couple steps that we
- 57:06need to do ourselves. Yeah.
- 57:10The last thing I would like to bring up Rod is an idea.
- 57:13I was, I was going to save for a mini episode for you and I, but
- 57:16I'd like to to kind of speak a minute or two on this concept of
- 57:24what is the nature of sin that is most damaging and and what is
- 57:32it really? Is it about right and wrong?
- 57:36Well, at a very surface level and Rob, this reminds me of when
- 57:41we did a mini on taking the Lord's name in vain.
- 57:46That yes, OK, it's you know, not saying God, Dang it, or you
- 57:51know, Jesus blankety blank. You fill in the rest right as a
- 57:57curse word, but it's deeper. It's it's about taking that
- 58:02mantle on like a logo of your favorite sports team.
- 58:07You're identifying yourself with them.
- 58:10So we're saying we're a Christian.
- 58:13If we're living where the world doesn't see it line up
- 58:17hypocritically, that's taking the the Lord's name in vain.
- 58:22But I think sin is much, much deeper than right and wrong.
- 58:26And I think that's a tactic of the enemy, that he's got us to
- 58:29think about it in those terms, because it goes back to shame.
- 58:35We think about it as, oh, well, this is right and this is wrong.
- 58:39But Rod, I really think it's about missing out on the power
- 58:44that we have over the enemy and what God wants to work in and
- 58:52through us. So God doesn't look down his
- 58:56nose at our sin and say you wretched, sinful, shameful
- 59:01creature. He's more, I think, lamenting
- 59:05over. I had something so much
- 59:09different and better in mind, right?
- 59:11If the picture is about missing the mark, like a bull's eye and
- 59:15a target, if that's what the word means, then it's not shame
- 59:22that we missed the target, it's how good it would have been to
- 59:26hit that target. I think it's really about
- 59:29missing out on what God has in mind.
- 59:33It's kind of the opposite of what the enemy said in the
- 59:35garden, diminishing the true work of God within us.
- 59:43You know, the enemy wants to say God is holding out on you in the
- 59:48garden. He's holding out on knowledge
- 59:53that you you should have good things that you should have.
- 59:58The opposite is true. Sin is about missing out on what
- 1:00:03God has for us, and then it's giving inroads to the enemy to
- 1:00:08have his way. It's so much more than just
- 1:00:13right and wrong, but being weakened by the enemy.
- 1:00:21I completely agree, and just as God says, His word never returns
- 1:00:28void. I will conclude with Isaiah 35,
- 1:00:32one through 5. The wilderness and wasteland
- 1:00:36shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom
- 1:00:41as a rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and
- 1:00:44rejoice even with joy in singing.
- 1:00:48The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it.
- 1:00:52The excellence of Carmel and Charon, they shall see eyes, the
- 1:00:57glory of the Lord, the Excellency of our God.
- 1:01:01Strengthen the weak hands, make firm the feeble knees.
- 1:01:06Say to those who are fearful, Be strong, do not fear.
- 1:01:12Behold, your God will come with vengeance, and with recompense
- 1:01:16of God He will come and save you.
- 1:01:20Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the
- 1:01:24deaf shall be unstopped. Wherever you're at listening to
- 1:01:32this commentary, God is able to change your circumstances.
- 1:01:37Whether you've contributed to this trauma or whether you've
- 1:01:42been victimized by it, He's able to change everything.
- 1:01:45There's always a hope when God is involved.
- 1:01:48Pete, thank you for having me. This is humbling and I would
- 1:01:52honestly say with fear and trembling going through this, I
- 1:01:56am continuing to work out my own salvation here.
- 1:01:59Absolutely, yeah. And I, I think too, you know,
- 1:02:02inviting Yaako on to talk about the trafficking issue and, and
- 1:02:07really having it turned towards the Christian man and woman's
- 1:02:12responsibility. We're we are supposed to be the
- 1:02:14light in the world. And this is an area where Satan
- 1:02:19is really weakening us. But be encouraged.
- 1:02:24God will make all things new if you are in him.
- 1:02:28You are a new creature, a new creation.
- 1:02:33And the last chapter of your story has not been written yet.
- 1:02:39Even though God knows it, the mystery of that, it is still
- 1:02:45being written. So be blessed guys, be
- 1:02:50encouraged, be strengthened in the Lord, be part of His team,
- 1:02:56be part of that calling to live in purity and make a difference
- 1:03:01in this world and see how the Holy Spirit encourages you as
- 1:03:07you do that. Thanks for listening guys, God
- 1:03:10bless. Yeah, I came from the sun, the
- 1:03:25water, young, straight from the heavens.
- 1:03:29You really owe me. All of my life I was beating up.
- 1:03:34All in my life. I didn't handle.
- 1:03:36All in my life. I was stuck in a trap.
- 1:03:39All in my life. I didn't handle rap.
- 1:03:41I didn't know why my life was away.
- 1:03:43I didn't know why my life was away.
- 1:03:45I didn't know I couldn't get up. I was so stuck.
- 1:03:48And the monkey was stuck till I found out.
- 1:03:51And I broke everything till I found out.
- 1:03:53And they took everything until I was hurting my heart and was
- 1:03:56strained. Yeah, I was broke and I had all
- 1:03:58this pain held on the home. It got harder than the toe.
- 1:04:01Then I went to the side of the smoke.
- 1:04:03I had no truth but to look to my God.
- 1:04:05He gave me stomach, He gave me earrings and he told me a
- 1:04:09blessed. He told me just believe in this
- 1:04:12job. I told him I can't change all of
- 1:04:14my ways. He said I got you just looked at
- 1:04:16this. I looked at him and he showed me
- 1:04:18his ways. Then he just told me how I am
- 1:04:21his son. Then he just told me I'm not on
- 1:04:23this one. He told me I come from the
- 1:04:25heavens above. I'm a new creature.
- 1:04:27I come from the sun from the one and only straight from the
- 1:04:30heavens. He really owe me.
- 1:04:31I came from the sun I was really with him and heavenly places I'm
- 1:04:35ceiling. Y'all can't even go that way.
- 1:04:38Y'all don't even know that way. Y'all want to play like Patty
- 1:04:42cake but this ain't no game. But it's not right.
- 1:04:46You wag this so fake when you walk up to me and I know you're
- 1:04:49a snake. You think you can beat me but
- 1:04:52you got to fight when you want. In a way I take out that trouble
- 1:04:56I'll put on your top and I'll freak on your face.
- 1:05:00I see you laughing. You think that you got me but
- 1:05:02you got no way. The evil you say for my life is
- 1:05:06OK because it's made for my good.
- 1:05:09My God is created. He created you so you really is
- 1:05:12cooked. I said all these things is I
- 1:05:15know when it's true and you know you is but like I did in case
- 1:05:20you can never win. I know the things that's going
- 1:05:22to happen to you when you die. You didn't live in your life
- 1:05:27because you know you can never go and get sick.
- 1:05:30You know when the great thing his mercy was took on you when
- 1:05:32you're my son in the plot thought you can take on my God
- 1:05:36spot now but you can die hot. I'm really tweaking.
- 1:05:39I come from the sun from the one and only straight from the
- 1:05:42heavens. You really owe me.
- 1:05:44I came from the sun I was really with them at heavenly places.
- 1:05:47I'm a sea to live. Y'all can't even go that way.
- 1:05:51Y'all don't even know that way. Y'all want to play like Patty
- 1:05:54cake but this ain't no game but it's.
