Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Let's get to a question for American mama's. Dear mamas,
- 0:03Speaker 1: do you have any advice on how to pray to
- 0:05Speaker 1: protect our firefighters and police officers? Well, let's ask our
- 0:09Speaker 1: American mamas, ama, and joining us now our American mama,
- 0:26Speaker 1: Terry Nederville. So over the weekend, there was this attack
- 0:30Speaker 1: against firefighters up in Idaho, and it was it was
- 0:35Speaker 1: a staged event. I mean, there's someone who intentionally started
- 0:39Speaker 1: a fire to lure in firefighters so that they could
- 0:41Speaker 1: kill firefighters. Yeah, and then that person also ended up dying.
- 0:45Speaker 1: I don't think we know whether it was from a
- 0:46Speaker 1: self afflicted gun wound or from an exchange of fire
- 0:48Speaker 1: with police who eventually showed up. But what was a
- 0:52Speaker 1: five hour standoff in the woods in Idaho and you've
- 0:56Speaker 1: got some madman starting a fire so that he can
- 0:59Speaker 1: kill ill firefighters. How do you how would you suggest
- 1:05Speaker 1: people pray for protection for First of all, I'm going
- 1:08Speaker 1: to say it's a good thing to be praying for
- 1:11Speaker 1: protections their lives to protect you. So I think that's
- 1:14Speaker 1: a good thing to begin with.
- 1:16Speaker 2: What's interesting is Okay, So this, like it did every
- 1:18Speaker 2: other American, it bothered me so much because I'm in
- 1:22Speaker 2: my I immediately go in my mind and I picture
- 1:25Speaker 2: our police officers are firefighters who get the call right
- 1:30Speaker 2: there's a need, somebody's in trouble. They get their stuff
- 1:33Speaker 2: together and then they race to wherever they need to
- 1:35Speaker 2: be to detect.
- 1:36Speaker 1: They go do what they're called.
- 1:38Speaker 2: They do what they're called to do, and they have
- 1:40Speaker 2: a passion for it. And I feel emotional right now
- 1:43Speaker 2: because it is unbelievable to me that there are people
- 1:48Speaker 2: who are willing and they plan it. They ploted, they
- 1:50Speaker 2: plan it. They look forward to this moment when this
- 1:55Speaker 2: wonderful person who's coming to help. They can't wait to kill.
- 2:00Speaker 2: They want to ambush them. It's truly remarkable. And you know,
- 2:04Speaker 2: I was on X and I was scrolling and the
- 2:06Speaker 2: family of that police officer, Kendall Corter, it was, you know,
- 2:11Speaker 2: of course they put that music is bb no CC whining.
- 2:16Speaker 2: They put this music behind it, and it makes it
- 2:19Speaker 2: even more moving if they were asking people please please
- 2:23Speaker 2: say a prayer for him. He's suffering multiple gunshot wounds
- 2:26Speaker 2: right now, and one of the bullets bullets struck his
- 2:28Speaker 2: upper arm and another one entered his chest cavity, which
- 2:32Speaker 2: caused severe internal injuries and including damage to his heart.
- 2:37Speaker 2: But here's this man who put his life on the line.
- 2:39Speaker 2: He does it all the time. So they were asking
- 2:41Speaker 2: people for their prayers, and I went to it. I
- 2:43Speaker 2: started scrolling it. I never ever heart comments of other
- 2:47Speaker 2: people because I just don't. I just kind of scroll through.
- 2:51Speaker 2: I was herding these prayers. These were the most heartfelt, beautiful,
- 2:56Speaker 2: genuine prayers for this family, and for all of the
- 3:00Speaker 2: firefighters and all of these police officers and all of
- 3:02Speaker 2: our men and women in arms who are being ambushed
- 3:05Speaker 2: right now. And I thought, you know, you're beautiful. You
- 3:09Speaker 2: are so beautiful with the prayers. Whenever you say uh
- 3:12Speaker 2: the blessing at our fourth July, or whenever you give
- 3:16Speaker 2: a word, it is so moving. People like me, I
- 3:19Speaker 2: will pray from my heart and it's it's it's equally
- 3:22Speaker 2: moving to God, but it may not be as eloquent
- 3:25Speaker 2: to the everyday people. So people like me, you know,
- 3:28Speaker 2: I'm Lord, please, you know, be with this family, be
- 3:32Speaker 2: with all of these families, Help heal our nation. We're hurting,
- 3:35Speaker 2: you know. So you could tell that people started they
- 3:38Speaker 2: were they would pray for him first, and then they
- 3:41Speaker 2: all went into the nation we're so scared right now
- 3:44Speaker 2: because what about copycats?
- 3:46Speaker 1: Right because that is a common thing. One of the
- 3:49Speaker 1: things that that I think by clicking the heart, I
- 3:52Speaker 1: think that's that's akin to praying in to saying amen.
- 3:56Speaker 1: It is to praying in agreement. So there is there
- 4:00Speaker 1: is power in someone else's giving a prayer and you
- 4:03Speaker 1: hear that prayer to you go, you know what, Jesus,
- 4:05Speaker 1: I agree with that. I'm I'm I align with that thought.
- 4:08Speaker 1: I agree with that, I'm praying in agreement what they said.
- 4:12Speaker 2: And you know what else, Stephen, you know this about
- 4:14Speaker 2: me because we've known each other for so long. When
- 4:17Speaker 2: I get if I get chills on my body, I'm like, ooh,
- 4:19Speaker 2: that was so you know, I got chills if I
- 4:21Speaker 2: get chills on the top of my head. Even from
- 4:24Speaker 2: a little girl, I knew that was different. I always
- 4:26Speaker 2: in my mind I thought that's from Heaven, those chills
- 4:30Speaker 2: on the top of my head, because it always seemed
- 4:33Speaker 2: to feel like it came straight from God, like God saying.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Yes to this right.
- 4:37Speaker 2: This is I was reading all of the prayers, I
- 4:41Speaker 2: had chills on the top of my head, and I thought,
- 4:44Speaker 2: oh my gosh, you know, and we've got We've got
- 4:46Speaker 2: a president in the White House who is now given
- 4:48Speaker 2: gratitude and thanks to God. Right, he's not taking things
- 4:53Speaker 2: as I mean. And this is somebody who does like
- 4:55Speaker 2: to get credit for things he has given God credit.
- 4:58Speaker 2: So when you are leading the nation with prayer, and
- 5:01Speaker 2: then I'll look on X and you have Americans praying
- 5:05Speaker 2: freely for this people, these people that they don't know, right,
- 5:08Speaker 2: it does something to you. I'm like, okay.
- 5:10Speaker 1: So I also believe in praying the word. God's word
- 5:15Speaker 1: is his will, you know, And I always want my
- 5:17Speaker 1: prayers to line up with what God wants your will
- 5:19Speaker 1: be done on earth, as it isn't ever right. So
- 5:22Speaker 1: if it's in his word, I know it's in his will.
- 5:26Speaker 1: So I like praying it. And my pastor James, who's
- 5:29Speaker 1: the pastor Order Got Ministries, which is seen all over
- 5:31Speaker 1: the country. He says, it's like saying, Daddy, you said,
- 5:35Speaker 1: like was a little kid, Dad say hey, we're going
- 5:36Speaker 1: to go get some ice cream, and you go, Daddy,
- 5:38Speaker 1: you said we're gonna get some ice cream, and Daddy
- 5:39Speaker 1: has to go, Yeah, you're right, I said that, Oka,
- 5:41Speaker 1: let's go to get some ice cream. Right, God's going
- 5:43Speaker 1: to say yes and amen to those prayers. So there's
- 5:47Speaker 1: Luke eleven twenty one. When a strong man fully armed
- 5:50Speaker 1: guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed. So Lord,
- 5:54Speaker 1: send us guards. Send us men like this, strong men
- 5:58Speaker 1: fully armed, yes, so that they can they can guard us.
- 6:02Speaker 1: And then there's also in Isaiah, and we want to
- 6:06Speaker 1: bless those because God says, whom shall I send and
- 6:09Speaker 1: who will go? And I said, here I am send me. God.
- 6:13Speaker 1: I want to bless the people who say here, I am,
- 6:16Speaker 1: send me. And that's that's what these firefighters and that's
- 6:19Speaker 1: what these police officers are doing. There's a call for help.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Who's going to go? They stand up and they say
- 6:24Speaker 1: here I am send me. Lord. I bless those people
- 6:27Speaker 1: who say.
- 6:27Speaker 2: That I am in.
