- 2:00Tonight, I just want. to pour back into you all of you
- 2:05listeners, I know 2020 is taken so much from everybody and a lot
- 2:10of people are just Feeling alone and forgotten and they're
- 2:15questioning everything. And the most important thing
- 2:19that that us as first and foremost, our men of Christ, the
- 2:23mission field is to give back to you the audience and remind you
- 2:27guys of the most important message which is Christ
- 2:30crucified and risen again. So, welcome BDK.
- 2:35It's awesome to have you here, brother.
- 2:37So grateful to be here, man. I've listened to a bunch of your
- 2:40episodes, man, and it's really, really good.
- 2:43I can tell that you have a heart for the Lord and a hard to just
- 2:47tell people stories and to bring it back to the Lord.
- 2:50And that's an amazing thing because that's one of the ways
- 2:54that we fight that we overcome, we share our testimony, we
- 2:58talked about the power of the blood and we resolved in our
- 3:01hearts and dark moments, like these, that we won't be afraid
- 3:04of the darkness but we will fight.
- 3:06We will fight With spiritual weapons and we will not live our
- 3:09lives to the death. That's how we overcome.
- 3:12So it's really awesome that you're taking your gifts and
- 3:16your talents and your putting it out there man and you're
- 3:19reaching people that only you can reach man.
- 3:21So it's an honor to be here, man.
- 3:24And Micah, what's up? How you doin sir?
- 3:27I'm doing great. It's also an honor for me to be
- 3:30here. I had a really great time being
- 3:32a guest on Rodney show. It's just an honor to be here
- 3:35with both of you. And right now, it's Like,
- 3:38previously stated 2020s been a crazy year, but I know that
- 3:41God's doing something fresh this year.
- 3:43I know that there is a lot of change coming.
- 3:46I felt it in my own life, like, throughout my life.
- 3:49I know that I don't want to say the word premonition every time,
- 3:54I've faced a major change in my life spiritually or physically,
- 3:57I've had like a anticipation feeling and my wife has been
- 4:02sensitive to it too, and it's always correct.
- 4:04But we never know what form it's going to take.
- 4:07And this year I have that anticipation.
- 4:09I do have a baby on the way but it's not because of that jerk a
- 4:14little bit but I sent something spiritually is going to change
- 4:18but I know that God is moving and it's encouraging to have
- 4:22brothers in Christ around me like you guys To be able to
- 4:26support and encourage that we all.
- 4:28We all know that we have each other's backs.
- 4:30Amen. Yeah.
- 4:31We got to be the Band of Brothers in this hour, man,
- 4:34because that three at three strand cord.
- 4:36Right? Not easily broken.
- 4:38And boy, do we need to band together and because the powers
- 4:42that shouldn't be sure. Have no problem doing it.
- 4:45If we could only be like a tenth, as organized as they are,
- 4:47man. We'd Rock America.
- 4:50You know, I couldn't agree more. You're 100% right?
- 4:55We don't see a lot of unification in the church, and I
- 4:59have a feeling that that's going to change, you know, the God
- 5:03says, worship Him in spirit and in truth, and God knows that the
- 5:07remnant has been crying out and pleading for that righteousness
- 5:12to just continue to fall on the body and to just get us
- 5:16sharpened up so that were not ashamed to work in our gifts.
- 5:19I to sense that the church's greatest hour is upon us, and I
- 5:24do sense that Will be a Unity but it will be a Unity that
- 5:28comes out of necessity but I think spiritually the best thing
- 5:31that happened was that Biden got elected that like the Democrats
- 5:36are controlling both houses of Congress.
- 5:38Make no mistake man, they have four years of Vengeance laid up
- 5:43for the church, they have four years of debts that they are
- 5:48about to settle and I believe we were getting kind of complacent
- 5:53under Trump a little bit and We're even idolizing him a bit
- 5:57more than we probably should have.
- 5:59And, you know, I don't think he was the Devil by any stretch of
- 6:03the imagination, but I think that people were beginning to
- 6:07worship him a little bit like Jesus.
- 6:09And when that happens, we become complacent.
- 6:12And we start to look for the government to be our protection.
- 6:16And I think that the more protection is taken away from
- 6:20the church, the more we're going to have to unify and call to the
- 6:24Lord for our protection. Should.
- 6:25And I think he's been waiting for that for a while, and I
- 6:29think that he's allowing these circumstances, not not to hurt
- 6:32us or to scare us but the draws closer to him.
- 6:36And when that happens, man, I believe that if there's going to
- 6:40be any sort of refreshing or any sort of Reviving that takes
- 6:43place. It's going to be like what we
- 6:46see in the church night that in Iran right now.
- 6:50Yes. Or they're crazy enough to say
- 6:52like the best evangelist for God is the Ayatollah.
- 6:56He's back of your leg. How's that possible?
- 6:58It's like look, man. This guy is such a devil that
- 7:01that the very own Muslims. It he rules over our like, we
- 7:06don't like this guy like and the church they just live out their
- 7:10faith radically in the marketplace doesn't wherever
- 7:13they go man. They just they overcome by the
- 7:17blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony.
- 7:19They truly do not love their lives to the death like, ain't
- 7:22nobody in the Iran Church sitting in the back of the
- 7:25George saying. Hey man I'll slip my hand up
- 7:28with every head bowed and every eye closed.
- 7:30Maybe I'll get a good parking spot this week.
- 7:32If Jesus comes through me like they get baptized and they know
- 7:36that they may be signing their own death warrant they maybe if
- 7:39they're women they know they may be getting raped for the choice
- 7:41that they're making and I don't know if it'll be that extreme in
- 7:44America but after what we saw, go down the other day, man is
- 7:49starting to scare me just a little bit because like, they're
- 7:53gonna fully Mais, the pr of that moment, where everyone who
- 7:58believes in, any sort of conspiracy, or anyone who
- 8:01believes in any sort of Christian value, their they're
- 8:06painting as a Target man. Like today Apple came out and
- 8:10told parlor. Hey, we know you're all about
- 8:12the free speech and we know you're all about the non
- 8:16censorship, but we're going to pull an Alex Jones on you.
- 8:19If you if you don't give us a assurances that you'll sensor
- 8:23your people because it's this sort.
- 8:25Thing that led to the riots, right?
- 8:29And they're like, we'll take you down.
- 8:30Well, we won't give you any space on our apps and if Apple
- 8:34doesn't give you a space on their app, Google is soon to
- 8:37follow. And once that happens you can
- 8:40have the world's best app and you ain't got a home man.
- 8:43And it's like this, these things will be used against us, 100%
- 8:47man and we need in this moment to Rally Around Jesus, we need
- 8:53to start finding our identity in them.
- 8:55M. And we need to live in such a
- 8:57way that the accusations they make against us, can't stick
- 9:01because people will be like, whoa, these guys don't do the
- 9:05things, you say, they do the real ones, don't they would
- 9:08never do this sort of stuff. They live a radical life of
- 9:12Love, Peace Devotion to Jesus, but they don't even want to be
- 9:16part of this world. And that's what we need man.
- 9:21And I think that this is this, is that our that David Christian
- 9:25began to talk about. You know, that in the world's
- 9:28Darkest Hour, ghoul displays greatest power.
- 9:31I think approaching that our man, I think we're approaching
- 9:34that prophetic hour and we can't squander that opportunity.
- 9:38So we just need to be doing what we're doing.
- 9:41You need to be producing podcasts, and we need to use
- 9:45whatever gifts we have in this moment to reach reach far and
- 9:48wide, man. You know, BTK you hit the nail
- 9:51right on the head with it, with a lot of things, you said, even
- 9:55even the whole thing about Biden.
- 9:57I know, I've heard a lot of prophets saying, oh, Trump's
- 10:01going to get a second term, is going to be a landslide and I
- 10:03don't discount it. I just I'm one of those wait and
- 10:05see kind of people because there's a lot of people out
- 10:09there that claim to be prophetic and some of them are legitimate
- 10:12and some aren't and but I like to test the spirits or even like
- 10:17Paul said about the bereans they you know, To make sure that
- 10:20everything that he said was correct.
- 10:23I agree with you about Biden just in for the fact that.
- 10:26Yeah, I think it's going to force a lot of things to happen,
- 10:29even though it is scary, it's also exciting.
- 10:32Another point you had said about the church coming together.
- 10:36I know that in our gathering or our fellowship over the past
- 10:42couple months like when the when they started closing things down
- 10:45and for covid over the summer. We saw our congregation shrink
- 10:50and then blow up and it's not about numbers it's that's not
- 10:55the whole point. But and I touched on this in my
- 10:58first episode of my podcast but we have people coming to our
- 11:01church that were attending, you know, Baptist Church and came
- 11:05from all different backgrounds and we're not denominational.
- 11:07We know we live, we lift our hands, we love the Lord, we
- 11:11preach straight out of the Bible more family-oriented.
- 11:14We believe everything the word of God says, and we have people
- 11:17coming. From all different backgrounds
- 11:20and we're all just coming together and forming this family
- 11:23and it's awesome to see and that's what it's all about and
- 11:26it's not all about meeting one building every week.
- 11:29You know like this is my congregation and I'm not
- 11:31stepping outside it, it's about forming relationships with
- 11:34others in the church as what the church really is worldwide.
- 11:38The body of Christ. And that's where I think the
- 11:42podcast come into where we can fellowship with each other
- 11:46across state lines, or even across the world of we so chose
- 11:50to. And this message isn't just
- 11:52confined to this area. It goes out and it goes forth
- 11:57and I just think this is an amazing time and we are going to
- 12:01see the church wake up. I think we're going to see a
- 12:06separation of the the sheep and the goats.
- 12:08We're going to see those who Did not want to really who just came
- 12:12to church for social club. They just can't, we were, we've
- 12:14already seen it, church, is shutting down and people.
- 12:18Well, I just came there for the donuts and the free coffee, you
- 12:21know, where I came to hear a motivational sermon and get some
- 12:25business contacts. You know, you had those people
- 12:27and a lot of them are falling away.
- 12:28They're sitting at home watching their livestream or they're not
- 12:31even doing that anymore. And then you have the ones who
- 12:34truly wanted to be in Fellowship in the body of Christ.
- 12:38As the word says forsake, not the assembling of yourselves
- 12:41together even as a day approaches.
- 12:44And also in Psalm 133 where it says oh how good and pleasant it
- 12:48is for brothers to dwell together in unity.
- 12:51You know, it's the people that are still coming to church even
- 12:54when the they're closed down, those are the ones that are
- 12:56really hungry and they're the ones that are going to be the
- 12:59influencers in the World Changers because they Are
- 13:02passionate about Christ and they're on fire and I'm honored
- 13:07to have met some of them. And I know that this is stirred
- 13:09something in me even you know God is doing something Psalms
- 13:1232:8. The Lord says, I will guide you
- 13:15along the best pathway for your life and I will advise you and
- 13:20watch over you with Biden when I agree with you BTK with Biden,
- 13:27it looks like he's, you know, taking that position as
- 13:30president over this nation. God is still on the throne
- 13:34Adorn. This whole thing I've had so
- 13:37many people try to their so attached to their emotions.
- 13:40You know, if you try to talk about the fact of where
- 13:43temporary creatures were here to worship God and be the image
- 13:47bearers of his people were so caught up in the emotions that
- 13:50why would you still be stuck on that message?
- 13:52Or why won't you agree with this agenda or this or that?
- 13:56I mean, I've heard a little bit of everything, a lot of the
- 13:58ministry I do is in secret and it's on a one-to-one.
- 14:02Her one, two, three bases face-to-face with people.
- 14:06Just some of the responses you just see there's a spirit in the
- 14:09world right now. The Antichrist spirit and it is
- 14:11stirring up people, but God is going to, you know, he's not
- 14:14going to let the enemy run roughshod on the body of Christ.
- 14:16Before Christ comes back and cracks the sky, like a supernova
- 14:20and pulls back the veil. He's going to pour His Spirit
- 14:23out and I'm excited for that, you know, instead of focusing on
- 14:27the things that are wrong, not saying that we neglect looking
- 14:30in and being aware of our surroundings.
- 14:32He's personally as a Watchman in the body of Christ, I look at a
- 14:36lot of things, but holding on to that excitement of you, cause
- 14:41this season is showing that Christ is coming sooner, like
- 14:44it's gonna be okay, like it's gonna be everything we imagined
- 14:48and more like we can't even wrap our heads around the beauty of
- 14:52our King who's coming and he's going to swallow up death and
- 14:55all the tears can be wiped away. But in this season, In this
- 14:59season. We stand as brothers in Christ
- 15:03and we cry out to God and we look to his coming because he's
- 15:07going to come soon and he's a he's more beautiful and greater
- 15:10than I think what we can imagine.
- 15:13Yeah I find myself is I keep getting older?
- 15:17Just spending less and less time praying about the things that I
- 15:23need from God or request for him to fill me with his power.
- 15:28Or or to anoint me and things like that.
- 15:32I just, I just like I will do it.
- 15:35He'll do, I find myself crying out just for a revelation of his
- 15:39glory, his Beauty, his majesty. Like, I just want to get to know
- 15:44him personally. And then like I figure, he'll
- 15:47just Minister from the Overflow of what he shows me to people,
- 15:50man, like we don't need to fear this hour, we need to start
- 15:54preparing for the hour that's to come.
- 15:58And we need to start equipping ourselves to endure till the
- 16:01end. I mean, that's the, I mean, we
- 16:04me and my friend Kurt and we've been thinking a lot about our
- 16:10mission statement for Omega frequency, both the podcast and
- 16:14the video. And I've distilled it down to a
- 16:17sentence, equip yourself to endure till the end.
- 16:21Like we need to do that when you just start making, proactive
- 16:24tangible steps to face the prophetic hour that we're soon
- 16:29going to find ourselves in. I mean, I believe without a
- 16:33shadow of a doubt, The Book of Revelation and the tribulation
- 16:38we're going to see that in our lifetime and that freaks a lot
- 16:43of people out, oh man, does every people out, I mean, they
- 16:46get excited about it. Everybody loves talking about
- 16:48Bible prophecy, but then, when they realize Is that they're in
- 16:52that story somewhere, they get a little afraid because they see
- 16:56the, the dangers of the tribulation, right?
- 16:59And who's always tell people, man, we shouldn't be afraid.
- 17:04The church is the one body on Earth that has the playbook for
- 17:10everything that's going to happen.
- 17:12I was a former New England, Patriots fan, big former New
- 17:16England, Patriots fan until craft got all caught up in the
- 17:21Asajj parlors and the traffic egg and then it was just like
- 17:24man I can't you know like I had to tap and that hurt me because
- 17:30I've been a Patriots fan forever, even when they were
- 17:33cheating right? Even when they were going and
- 17:35getting the playbook for the other teams.
- 17:37I was like, I was like hey man, like if you're standing on the
- 17:42sidelines it's people's jobs to stand there with a pencil and
- 17:46look across the sidelines and look at your signals, right?
- 17:49Like they're just doing that that we they Technology to go
- 17:53beyond the pencil, right? Edits like but they had all
- 17:57those advantages because they knew the Playbook right?
- 18:00And we have the playbook for this prophetic hour, it's called
- 18:04The Book of Revelation and you want to talk about prophetic and
- 18:10this is what trips me up about false prophets, right?
- 18:14They want to prophesied these new and spectacular and fleshly
- 18:18things and all of these grandiose and new words for the
- 18:22our. Do we got a book at the end of
- 18:25the book that has a blessing. If you read it here at n0 bayit,
- 18:32it's the only book that does. And what's that blessing that
- 18:35blessing is? We have the Playbook like you
- 18:38want to talk about being a prophet.
- 18:40Imagine what happens when the tribulation begins in your able
- 18:43to tell people what's going to happen the next day in the news.
- 18:47Because you know what's happening because you know, like
- 18:51we have the Playbook, we are going to be able to stand in
- 18:55this prophetic hour and be a light and a beacon to people.
- 18:59If we know the Playbook and the Playbook is the Book of
- 19:02Revelation, it's not a story about a million people.
- 19:05Getting their heads. Chopped off and two story about
- 19:08how we overcome the devil as exact before we even get to see
- 19:14that that that Antichrist rising out of the sea.
- 19:17Satan is cast down from heaven. And the very first thing that it
- 19:20says is yeah, Satan's mad woe to the inhabitants of the earth.
- 19:25He's coming with vengeance for you but fear.
- 19:27Not we overcome him by the blood of the lamb and the word of Our
- 19:31Testimony not loving Our Lives to the death.
- 19:34We have a book that's going to tell us what's going to happen
- 19:37before it happens. I firmly believe in my heart of
- 19:41hearts, that the Book of Revelation is the second part of
- 19:44the book of Acts, the book of Acts never ended on a definitive
- 19:47Steve note, it was the history of the first church movement and
- 19:52it just kind of ends. There's no final chapter and
- 19:55that's because the Book of Revelations is the final part of
- 19:58the history of the church where Zach's was the first history of
- 20:01the church. And yeah, in Acts people were
- 20:04getting jailed. They were getting killed.
- 20:06They were getting martyred. All of this bad stuff was
- 20:09happening, but at the same time, God's word went forth with such
- 20:14power that it literally turned the world upside down.
- 20:17According to the King James version Bible.
- 20:19And that's what the Book of Revelation is really truly
- 20:22about, man. We don't need to fear the events
- 20:24of that thing. We just need to prepare to meet
- 20:27it. And if we really want to have
- 20:29wisdom and prophetic Insight, now is the time to really
- 20:34understand that book to really make peace with what that book
- 20:38says. And to start preparing Our Lives
- 20:41to match up with the things that we're going to need to know when
- 20:44that book becomes reality. So that it can be the Playbook
- 20:48so that we can stand there and be like this is what the Lord
- 20:51God said would happen before it happened and let a couple of the
- 20:56events of the tribulation play out, but your prophecy be 100%
- 21:00accurate because you're sticking to the book and people will be
- 21:03like whoa. He knows.
- 21:07A man you will be a living gospel tract in that our full of
- 21:11the Holy Ghost in power. And man, it's going to be the
- 21:15most exciting time to be alive on planet Earth.
- 21:19I truly believe that with all my heart man.
- 21:23That's you know it's you're just saying like I'm just feeling and
- 21:29a lot of people been saying that in America we've been spoiled
- 21:32and we have In the same respect though, America has been a good
- 21:38place at least in the past because we've raised up a lot of
- 21:40missionaries and sent them out across.
- 21:42The world has been unprecedented.
- 21:46The amount of missionaries that we've sent out in the past.
- 21:49I'm not saying that there's I know there's plenty of
- 21:50missionaries out there now but we can see the current spiritual
- 21:54state in our country do is compared to even, you know, 70
- 21:57years ago, even 5010. You know, it's not the same
- 22:02place it was when I was a kid in the Late 80s, early 90s, you
- 22:05know? But you know I even though I've
- 22:09been on a couple mission trips myself but I've never been
- 22:13Persecuted while on those trips, my dad.
- 22:17However though my mom they've done a lot of missions work over
- 22:20the years and my dad has been to India.
- 22:23I couldn't tell you how many times and he has, he has some
- 22:26wild stories about that, but the last time he went They were out
- 22:31in the street. It was my mom and dad and
- 22:34another man and woman from their church and they were out in the
- 22:38streets. Just passing out, tracts and
- 22:40praying with people and talking to people and this is probably
- 22:45ten eight to ten years ago before it got really bad.
- 22:49I mean, it was already bad there, but it's gotten worse
- 22:51since, but they were attacked by Hindu priests, and my dad, his
- 22:56shirt was ripped off in the street, and he was beaten.
- 23:00And my mom and the other lady in the group, ran back to the
- 23:02hotel. And so my dad and the other
- 23:06gentlemen, and their interpreter went to the police station.
- 23:09The police came and intervened and the police told The
- 23:13Interpreter, who told my dad, they plan on killing you
- 23:16tonight. And so my dad and they said, get
- 23:21out of town basically. So they got out of town and they
- 23:23their visit. There was cut short.
- 23:25They all jumped on a train to go across the country cup again.
- 23:30I don't know if like towns couple Towns over to another
- 23:35Pastor's house to seek Refuge farther away and, you know,
- 23:40they're, they're visit cut short, but this is a cool
- 23:43testimony of how God turns bad things into good.
- 23:46While they were on the train, my mom's Two young man who is
- 23:49planning on going to college in the United States and she led
- 23:54him to the Lord that night on the train.
- 23:57And they still actually keep in contact with him today.
- 24:01He's in Florida, and he's a doctor, I think.
- 24:04But you know who's coming? Yeah, it's just awesome to see,
- 24:08but the reason I felt compelled to share that is, you know,
- 24:12that's the kind of persecution that they're experiencing all
- 24:16over the world today. And here, we've been spared from
- 24:20that and I believe God had purpose in that for a long time.
- 24:24Because again, America has been a like a hub for missionary work
- 24:29over the years, but I believe that we're starting to see The
- 24:34persecution come here, even though it's still mild
- 24:38personally, I've experienced it a little very little persecution
- 24:42here a couple times when I was in New York City.
- 24:45When I was in Bible school, I did an internship there and I
- 24:49got screamed at you know, when I was trying to share the gospel
- 24:53with a man but you know nothing like what they experience
- 24:57overseas. But I think we're going to start
- 24:59to see that a little more because we've seen the church
- 25:01closings. I know in Southern California, I
- 25:04believe. Leave during this whole covid
- 25:05thing where the government was attacking the church.
- 25:09Yeah, it was insane. Like, I couldn't almost couldn't
- 25:12believe what I was seeing it. You know, I still can't believe
- 25:15what I'm seeing. I do believe it because I know
- 25:17what the Bible says. Like you said it's a Playbook
- 25:19and we know the end and we know how bad it is going to get.
- 25:24But to see these things come to pass in our lifetime. you know,
- 25:31it's just it's crazy because you know I was born in the 80s and
- 25:35it still wasn't even then nearly what it is now, But we know that
- 25:41God is in control, you know? I meant, I think there's
- 25:45something even worse than persecution, that the church
- 25:48really needs to be aware of in this hour, because granted Satan
- 25:53will persecute those, who believe in Jesus, that's a
- 25:56given. But sometimes Satan is smart
- 25:59enough to do something even more diabolical, whereas he knows
- 26:05that persecution will stamp out some of the Gospel message, the
- 26:12tendency for persecution In the backfire on him and to truly
- 26:17truly make the people, he is persecuting.
- 26:19Just a zealot Army against him. He knows the very real danger of
- 26:24that he's been fighting this war forever and he's smart enough
- 26:29to, to have Hoodwink. The third of the Angels into
- 26:32following him, they were in the presence of God, you know, and
- 26:35he started that conspiracy theory and Evan and he was smart
- 26:38enough to dupe. Angelic beings, who stood in the
- 26:41presence of God that God wasn't his Good.
- 26:44And as powerful as they beheld, you know, and one of the
- 26:48dangers, the real danger that this church faces here in
- 26:51America, is a loss of identity. It's a compromising spirit, it's
- 26:57a lukewarm Spirit. Satan doesn't have to persecute
- 27:02a church. If a church ceases to be a
- 27:04church. If a church ceases to represent
- 27:07Jesus accurately. Exactly.
- 27:09And I think that's the form of persecution.
- 27:12That is the Ruler one. That's really dangerous to the
- 27:15church because, you know, it's like that frog in the boiling
- 27:20water scenario, like the gospels been.
- 27:23So compromised in The Core Essence of gospel has been so
- 27:26compromised that we don't look anything like the church and I
- 27:32ran the church in China. We don't look anything like the
- 27:35original church that existed in the first 300 years.
- 27:39Before Constantine said enough of persecuting Christians, all
- 27:43were Doing is making Christianity literally spread
- 27:47like a virus. That's the language they were
- 27:49using. He said hey man, I'll give you
- 27:52my power, my authority, my blessing.
- 27:54Like I'll make it really easy for you.
- 27:57Just give me the theology that I need to do my business and I'll
- 28:02give you the protection, you need to do yours and that
- 28:05compromising Spirit took away the church's identity and
- 28:09plunged it into the Dark Ages and into Roman Catholicism.
- 28:14And we need to be very, very careful in this hour to guard
- 28:21ourselves against the person Houston that's coming.
- 28:24But we also need to be honest enough to start investigating
- 28:28the roots of our faith and what the earliest followers of Jesus
- 28:33believed. And we need to use that as a
- 28:36mirror and see if the church that we are, because we are the
- 28:40church is in the building where the Church of the Living.
- 28:43Even God, the redeemed Church of the Living God and we need to
- 28:46start matching up our beliefs and our identity into the
- 28:51identity of Christ. Because like if we're talking
- 28:54about the Book of Revelation and the end times, what's the first
- 28:57thing that Jesus does in the Book of Revelation, he goes to
- 29:00those seven churches. Like, before there can be any
- 29:04sort of tribulation before, they can be any sort of beginning of
- 29:07Sorrows. Before they can be, any seals
- 29:10opened. Jesus has to take a moment and
- 29:13walk. His church and he has to
- 29:15investigate his church. And and every one of those
- 29:19letters. You see Jesus, he's just
- 29:21standing in the midst of the lampstands and what he's doing
- 29:23is he's looking at these lampstands and he's like is
- 29:26there oil in these lamps are these lamps burning?
- 29:30He's looking at the church and in every one of these letters,
- 29:33he basically starts by saying, these are the things that I
- 29:37would do. And I congratulate you on doing
- 29:40the things that I would do, I would not Tolerate these Nick
- 29:45Elations, you don't tolerate these Nick relations but then
- 29:49he's like, but you do tolerate that Jezebel.
- 29:51I would never tolerate that Jezebel.
- 29:54And it's so devastating because he's like, if you guys Represent
- 30:01me well, I will open up doors that no man can shut before you.
- 30:06But if you fail to represent, who I am, I will remove your
- 30:10lampstand. I am under no obligation to
- 30:14continue the work that I began in you, if you will not
- 30:17Faithfully represent. And history.
- 30:20Proved it out, 100%. There's only one Church in
- 30:24existence today. Historically from that book of
- 30:27Revelation, that church of Smyrna, All the other ones went
- 30:32away, even the one that Jesus didn't have the rebuke for
- 30:36Philadelphia. But the one that polycarp was
- 30:42the bishop of the church, that's there.
- 30:45Now, there's a legitimate Church there, they can.
- 30:47Trace it back to you polycarp's original church because Jesus
- 30:52promised that, that church would have that open door that no man
- 30:56can shut and time. Couldn't shut it.
- 30:59And so we need to be very careful because I believe
- 31:02exactly what you said, gods are judging the church.
- 31:04He's sifting the church, he's separating the sheep from the
- 31:07goat. This must happen before the
- 31:10events in the seals are opened. And we're in that sifting
- 31:15process, and it's a good thing. It's not a scary thing.
- 31:18This is how the bride becomes that glorious Church Without
- 31:21spot or wrinkle or any such thing.
- 31:25But we need to deal honestly with our souls right now, in
- 31:28this moment. And we need to put aside every
- 31:30weight that hinders. We need to be good.
- 31:32Soldiers of Christ, who do not evolve ourselves and civilian
- 31:37Affairs. We need to be a legion soldiers
- 31:41of Jesus. We need to remember of the
- 31:44pledges we made to God, when we were baptized, we need to go
- 31:49back to a very authentic. Faith in Jesus and we need to,
- 31:54we need to literally live the values of the Gospel of Jesus
- 32:00out because how will the world ever know that there's a
- 32:04difference or a choice. If we look like the world, we're
- 32:08so busy making friends with the world in borrowing, their
- 32:11techniques to grow our churches. I love what you said about how
- 32:15people are coming to your church because it's just a real family
- 32:19church. People are looking for the real,
- 32:21the It they're looking not for the Seeker sensitive stuff.
- 32:27They're looking in this hour, really.
- 32:29Truly looking the remnants looking for people that will be
- 32:33different for people that will stand out like, sore, thumbs.
- 32:37Scott's got to have himself a couple of sore thumbs in this
- 32:40world, you know what I mean? Yeah, like, the way we live has
- 32:43to be different. Otherwise, there's no second
- 32:45choice, you know, and that's why the gospel of this Kingdom shall
- 32:50be preached as a witness. Yes.
- 32:53And then the end shall come and that witness is up to us, man.
- 32:57And so, man, we got to be busy in this hour.
- 33:00We gotta don't let the devil steal our identity in Christ
- 33:04away from us. And what this gospel is truly
- 33:06all about man-made are couldn't agree more with you.
- 33:10I want to ask you, what are your thoughts with?
- 33:13I'm not saying the vaccine in particular right now is or
- 33:17isn't, you know, the mark but we know Revelation 13 when we
- 33:21scroll down and we see God is warning every man, small and
- 33:26great rich and poor Bond and free will be forced to receive a
- 33:30Mark that he will not be able to buy or sell or trade unless he
- 33:33has that Mark. Do you BTK, do you think this is
- 33:37right on the horizon? Do you think we're there with
- 33:42these vaccines that? I mean my wife is in the
- 33:44healthcare field and they're already kind of like pressuring
- 33:48her like they're talking about with the 90 days are going to be
- 33:50administering. You know that Vaccines to this
- 33:53area and they're trying to get people Backson, ate it.
- 33:57It's no longer like oh we're just listening to this on the
- 34:00news but vaccinations are here right under our nose.
- 34:04If it's mandated which it seems like, you know, to keep your
- 34:08job, you're probably going to have to be vaccinated the
- 34:11healthcare field. I don't know if my wife will
- 34:13have a job if she refuses it, we've been talking and praying
- 34:16about this and I haven't really told anybody else.
- 34:19I mean here I am on the podcast, great.
- 34:21She's going to probably Have some words for me later, but
- 34:25long story short, pray for us, anybody who's here in this, to
- 34:27give us wisdom, but I would like to know your take.
- 34:30Well, we're kind of in the same boat over here.
- 34:32My wife is the registered nurse, she's a hospice nurse, right.
- 34:35Okay. So she's facing the same sort of
- 34:38thing. I think it's very interesting
- 34:41that the majority of the healthcare field does not want
- 34:43to take this vaccine. How about of speak that I would
- 34:47speak volumes as to the danger of it.
- 34:50Yeah. Now here's the The thing.
- 34:54I am so impart Buhler with the stance I have on the vaccine
- 34:58because I probably won't take it, you know, like I think there
- 35:03are some dangerous things but none of my objections Are
- 35:07Spiritual objections to taking the vaccine there, more
- 35:11scientific health or objections. I don't feel that this vaccine
- 35:19is the mark of the beast. And I don't think there's
- 35:21anything sinful about taking Scene.
- 35:27Missionaries. You were talking about
- 35:28missionaries missionaries. Take vaccines all the time to go
- 35:31into foreign countries and they do it.
- 35:34They do it. So they can preach the gospel.
- 35:37Not buying or selling has is a byproduct of the mark, but not
- 35:42the identifier of the mark, the identifier of what the Mark is.
- 35:47Has nothing to do with out with with the not buying and selling
- 35:50thing. Like if that's if buying and
- 35:53selling was the identifier of the mark, then money would be
- 35:56the mark because And by yourself without it right, the Mark is
- 36:00going to be something very, very specific.
- 36:04The Mark is going to my opinion. Be a supernatural thing I
- 36:09believe it's going to be a supernatural Mark I believe that
- 36:15it's going to be the emission pass to enter into the New World
- 36:19Order. There was that saying right that
- 36:23No One's Gonna. I think it was Matthew Fox
- 36:25that's said no one's going to enter this new world order.
- 36:27Unless you takes a pledge of allegiance to worship Lucifer, I
- 36:31believe that's literally what's happening in Revelation 13.
- 36:34In and I believe, when you were met ceremony goes down.
- 36:41When the, when the image of the Beast is given life.
- 36:45When the Antichrist who had that deadly wound, that was healed to
- 36:48standing in the temple of God. Proclaiming to be God in the
- 36:52false prophet. Is there making that image of
- 36:56the Beast speaking live? That this will be a global
- 37:01Service broadcast from the temple?
- 37:05And I believe that everyone in that moment will have to choose
- 37:10whether to worship Lucifer or the Antichrist.
- 37:15And it's going to be very deceptive because a lot of
- 37:17people are going to be thinking that they're worshiping Jesus in
- 37:19that moment to be honest with you, or the real Messiah of
- 37:23Bible prophecy, right? Because I think that's his end
- 37:26game and I think that if we get so caught up in implantables or
- 37:32DNA changing things, Or vaccines and things like that or trans
- 37:39humanistic technology we could really be duped.
- 37:43Is I don't think I think all that's disinformation I think
- 37:47that it's going to be a spiritual Mark that appears on
- 37:50you supernaturally when you worship the image of the Beast
- 37:54and it will either appear in your forehead or your hands or
- 37:56maybe both And I believe that it will be the symbol of a Tha or
- 38:01cross. That's is my personal belief and
- 38:06I think that will do a lot of people but then, like, when you
- 38:10do that, you will be able to enter the New World Order
- 38:13because you've taken that Pledge of Allegiance and then the
- 38:16transhumanist acknowledge e will be available to you.
- 38:20Then all of these goodies that they have been planning, right?
- 38:23All of these things that we think might be the mark, they
- 38:27will become. Of our normal everyday Society.
- 38:30They will be this quote-unquote Utopia or basically the
- 38:34counterfeit Millennial Kingdom of Christ, right?
- 38:37And so we need to be very, very, very careful to stick expressly
- 38:43with what the word of God says, and not add in current events to
- 38:46it. The Bible doesn't say that the
- 38:49mark of the beast changes, our DNA, It doesn't say that it's a
- 38:53piece of technology. It doesn't say that it's a
- 38:57vaccine. It just says, it's a Mark that
- 39:02we get from worshipping the devil.
- 39:05Basically, there's there's nothing in the Bible that that
- 39:10says we're unredeemable because our DNA of has changed.
- 39:14That's not what makes us irredeemable.
- 39:16It's we have chosen with our own free will and volition to give
- 39:20our hands, which is our Service and our mind, which is our will
- 39:25our heart to the devil and that will be akin to.
- 39:31Blaspheming the holy spirit in that moment.
- 39:34We will invite an antichrist Spirit into our heart and to our
- 39:38Temple. And not only will will be
- 39:42Antichrist. Sit in the temple of God, the
- 39:44physical Temple, but demonic spirits will sit in our Temple.
- 39:49Basically, Lucifer will sit in the temple.
- 39:52People of our bodies through his demonic network of demonic
- 39:55spirits. And we know that the holy spirit
- 39:58will not abide in a temple filled with demons and that's
- 40:03what's going to make us irredeemable.
- 40:04I mean, it's really cool to have a Sci-Fi element attached to it,
- 40:08but I don't believe, I don't believe that's what it is now.
- 40:12Do I believe the stuff like l.a. Marzulli says about there being
- 40:16a UFO deception. Do I believe the stuff about
- 40:18Genesis 6 in the Nephilim 100%? Stuffs all going to be part of
- 40:23this great delusion. But I don't think the mark of
- 40:25the beast, has anything to do with a DNA change, okay?
- 40:29And yeah, and and there's no passage in the Bible that says
- 40:33it. Mmm.
- 40:35So your take it. You, you literally covered some
- 40:39things that I didn't quite like, gather, like from looking at the
- 40:43word myself and really gave me some clarity.
- 40:46I look at it. A lot of these things I see is
- 40:48kind of four runners like the momentum's building in the
- 40:52Action of whatever this might be.
- 40:55Oh yeah. The vaccine is 100% that.
- 40:57And that respect though, I'll tell you man, like this is all
- 41:01about compliance, right? Yeah, like this is, this is a
- 41:06conditioning. So they say well you can't go
- 41:09here, you can't do that because of a vaccine like I believe
- 41:13there's Christian Liberty, if it's not going to send me to
- 41:15hell, then I would obviously have the right to take that if I
- 41:19didn't want to abide by that but You're doing, is you're
- 41:22implanting fear in people's mind, right?
- 41:25You're implanting fear, like, if I don't do what the government
- 41:28tells me to do that, I'm screwed, right?
- 41:31Like, I need to obey what the government tells me to do
- 41:35because they will take everything from me and it tests
- 41:38our Allegiance and it opens up our way of fear.
- 41:41And I've always said that the spirit of fear is the devil's
- 41:45evangelist, anytime at the spirit of fear can get in our
- 41:49heart and get in our mind that Opens a doorway of influence for
- 41:53demonic spirits opens, a doorway of influence to the devil to
- 41:57come in and conditioned us to be afraid.
- 42:01And things like the mark of the things, like the vaccine things,
- 42:05like the new world order things. Like the way the government's
- 42:10about ready to unleash four years of Hell upon us.
- 42:13All of these things are just moves that the devil's making
- 42:19for his side on his Cosmic. Chess board is all a Marzulli.
- 42:22Oh, he says these moves that he's making art to test their
- 42:27loyalties. Yeah.
- 42:29But but here's the cool thing. It can also test our resolve to
- 42:33love God even harder. That's what the devil doesn't
- 42:37get man. There's he only sees his side of
- 42:39the coin because he's a narcissist and he's full of
- 42:43Pride. That's what got him kicked out
- 42:44of heaven. He only sees his side of the
- 42:46coin, man. He never sees the opposite side
- 42:49of the coin that the further, he pushes our back up against the
- 42:52wall. The more we want to fight back
- 42:57and it, this is a, this is a chance for us to start living by
- 43:01our principles and not living by fear.
- 43:04And that's what takes the double by surprise, because he doesn't
- 43:06think about that. He's blind to it.
- 43:10I just wanted to say comment on what you said about the Mark.
- 43:14I mean, I don't know. I mean it could be spiritual and
- 43:17it could be physical. It could be both honestly but
- 43:20one thing I do agree with you is I don't believe that we will be
- 43:26tricked into taking it. It's not something, it's not
- 43:29something you can be forced to take and it's not something
- 43:32you'll take. Knowing what you're doing,
- 43:36you're going to have to actively deny or denounce Christ in order
- 43:40to receive this. It's going to, it's going to be
- 43:43specific. So yeah, like a vaccine, like
- 43:46just like you said, I don't want to take it because of the health
- 43:49reasons I've seen testimonials online recently of nurses, the
- 43:53one nurse I saw she did a video is like on Facebook or
- 43:57somewhere. She's crying because half of her
- 43:59face is paralyzed after she took this covid vaccine. and and you
- 44:04know that stuff's not going to go on the news, of course, it
- 44:06doesn't fit the agenda and you know, we But I believe this is
- 44:12like soft disclosure. It's a precursor to what we just
- 44:17talked about, just kind of like what's his, which is interesting
- 44:22to keep on the subject but also mixed in with all this covid
- 44:25stuff. And I know Rodney sent me a lot
- 44:27of links on this. We've seen all this alien
- 44:30disclosure coming out this year, to, from the government.
- 44:34And now we're seeing mainstream media pick up on these and I've
- 44:39done my own research on. A lot of this stuff and I've
- 44:42always really enjoyed Marzulli and Tom Horn and Steve quale and
- 44:48all this, all those guys who have done this, great work
- 44:51studying it but my personal belief and I know there's quite
- 44:55a few others that believe like this, but when the Rapture does
- 44:58happen, I believe that they're going to blame it on a Masa in
- 45:02abduction or something like that.
- 45:03I mean, that's just my opinion. I'm not going to ever preached
- 45:05that from a Pulpit but you know there's just so much deception
- 45:10coming. And yeah, we it's kind of
- 45:14mind-boggling just what we've dealt with this year.
- 45:18And Jesus warned us, he says you when the disciples said, Lord,
- 45:21you're coming, you know what will be the signs?
- 45:24He says, do not be deceived, do not be deceived, do not be
- 45:27deceived and we definitely are living in an age of deception.
- 45:31I mean, originally the reason I started podcasting is because I
- 45:36just I was spending my alone time at the Lord, you know, and
- 45:39I'm just reading. And I'm watching the world
- 45:42around me like glancing and peering in.
- 45:45And I'm just going Lord. There's a million messages and
- 45:47signals of confusion and chaos. And I want to hold on to your
- 45:52truth, no matter what. And I would plead and to say,
- 45:55please never leave me, you know, God just, I don't know why you
- 45:59love as much as he loved and I can't really wrap my head around
- 46:03who you are. But you say, you love me, you
- 46:05say that we're worth it and you gave your life and and Rose up
- 46:09from death. Because of your love for those
- 46:12who belong to you. And I would, I would just talk
- 46:14with the Lord and he was really allowing me to kind of just look
- 46:18at a million messages and signals of confusion and Chaos,
- 46:22being present and everybody in like their little Camp is
- 46:26pointing at the next little campus saying, well, we got the
- 46:28answers and you're wrong. And there are saying no, we got
- 46:30the answers and you're wrong and it's just a plethora of crooked
- 46:34and perverse information. Just flooding people, you know,
- 46:38with all this stuff going on. We got to just focus on what
- 46:43Jesus said and be aware that the devil has this trickery.
- 46:48You know, he's Meandering through and he's putting at, you
- 46:52know, I was talking about this with with a friend, isn't it?
- 46:54Awesome. How God had one plan to redeem
- 46:58us through Jesus? And the devil has ran through
- 47:02every Rabbit Trail and option and level of deception possible
- 47:06and keep switching up like he keeps a systematically.
- 47:10Thousand people's drip strategizing and causing
- 47:12corruption but God had one remedy and it was the lamb, the
- 47:17Messiah, who would save those who call and believe in his
- 47:23mercy and righteousness. And and that was like, really
- 47:26started to adjust and I went, you know, Micah BTK I'd go.
- 47:30Well, this is evidence that God's not franek, you know, this
- 47:34is the proof that God is not like, you know, he's not hiding
- 47:37or there's no arm wrestling match happening here.
- 47:39That's, you know, Cuz if the world wants you to think that,
- 47:41oh, yin-yang or, you know, oh, the balance man, the cosmos and
- 47:45it's like know the word of God, Christ and him crucified and
- 47:49risen. And because God says, to us, in
- 47:53his word, my ways are not your ways, and my thoughts are not.
- 47:55My thoughts are not your thoughts.
- 47:57It's like, yeah, like a sitting here, like Madness had like
- 48:00like, yeah, of course, like God. You're so you're, you're beyond
- 48:04what the enemy can comprehend. BTK you said, how many times
- 48:07referred to, you know, Satan being blindsided?
- 48:10By himself because he's so full of Pride and only sees one side
- 48:13of the coin. God took one Avenue to save
- 48:19through Christ and it's like man the devil's done, every trick in
- 48:22the Playbook, you know, upside down backwards, two times, the
- 48:26Wednesday and he still pull a new tricks out of the hat, but
- 48:29none of it is going to win. We know how the story ends but
- 48:33you have a really interesting take on Revelation with the mark
- 48:38there. I mean, a couple things you
- 48:39brought up that kind of like helped puzzle piece some stuff
- 48:42together. In my mind, it was a unique
- 48:45Approach? I don't know that.
- 48:49I'm not like a timeline guy. I don't say this was going to
- 48:51happen then or this is now, I mean, I get the feeling like
- 48:54something's on the horizon you know like something's going to
- 48:57happen. I know a couple episodes back.
- 49:00I shared a vision that I had over the summer.
- 49:02I was driving from foremost Manhattan, back here to
- 49:06Pennsylvania. I took my sister-in-law whom she
- 49:10lives, right outside of New York City.
- 49:11And she was visiting him on the road by myself.
- 49:15For a couple hours and I'm thinking about the founding
- 49:17fathers, I'm thinking about the guys who you know, just believed
- 49:21in the Bible they went out and they fought and died in order
- 49:24that we would have the ability to you know buy a car and have
- 49:27groceries and have a job and even again be able to buy a
- 49:31microphone and start a podcast because there's something inside
- 49:34of you that loves the Lord and you just can't be quiet.
- 49:36You know like these guys before us they were really willing to
- 49:41lay it down. And in the middle of thinking
- 49:43all that I just get hit with with this Vision that was like
- 49:49downloaded into my head. It just you know, I'm thinking
- 49:51about the founding fathers, I'm thinking is this price that they
- 49:54paid running out at you know, the battle they fought for
- 49:57freedom. Is it coming to an expiration?
- 50:00And the lord gave me this Vision in my head man, as I'm driving
- 50:06on I-78. And I seen myself, I was
- 50:10watching myself and I was straining.
- 50:12My veins popping out of my arms and my neck.
- 50:15And I look out and around where I was I was in a big valley and
- 50:19there was walls of fire 360°, every direction that were
- 50:24engulfing things out in the distance.
- 50:27But the things that were burning were causing like heat to like
- 50:30heat, like I was warming up some sweating and I got to a point
- 50:34where I was feeling feeling the pressure and the pain, and I
- 50:38throw my hands up and I start bleeding Yeshua, Jesus, Jesus
- 50:42and crying out to him and the cross was just there.
- 50:46It was just up there and blood fell off of it, and hit the
- 50:50right side of my face, my neck, and my shoulder, and I felt
- 50:53comfort I felt just peace and comfort and that was that's what
- 50:57the lord gave me while doing 70 miles an hour on I-78, coming
- 51:01back in Pennsylvania and it shook me up man.
- 51:04And I also believe in the Demonic entities being, you
- 51:08know, we know the devil's the prince of the power of the air
- 51:10is in the Airways. I tried to upload, I put well,
- 51:13first I prayed about it for a couple days because it, it
- 51:16Disturbed me but not in a bad way, having this Vision it was
- 51:19in a way where I'm like, I got to share this with somebody like
- 51:22somebody else needs to hear it. I also I felt like I needed
- 51:25interpretation. Not like you know like this is
- 51:29well but I just need like a confirmation like a good were
- 51:34the brother. Hold on, you're going through a
- 51:36season. The world is under do under this
- 51:39judgment of fire and there's things come and keep crying out
- 51:42to God. But the long story short, I
- 51:43tried to upload it multiple times on the you know different
- 51:46social media sites. I could not get this to three
- 51:49minute video of me. Sharing this testimony uploaded.
- 51:52I literally tried probably five or six times.
- 51:54And so, I did share it on the podcast episode.
- 51:58I think there's like five or six episodes ago, but I don't even
- 52:01know how I got here. Originally, BTK I wanted to ask
- 52:04you like 50 some minutes ago, like my ideal is to, like, ask
- 52:08you like, how did God bring you to a place that you're at now in
- 52:14life? Like, you love the Lord.
- 52:15He you have an anointing. He's using you all glory to God,
- 52:19man. You know, he's taking pleasure
- 52:22in using you to reach people's hearts.
- 52:25Can I know it's towards the end of this episode?
- 52:26I know there's, there's faithful listeners that, we'll listen up
- 52:29into this point and they're gonna be laughing because like
- 52:31we know rod, and we don't put, of course, you know, you didn't
- 52:34do this on beginning. He's doing good as we're
- 52:36starting to wind down a little bit, but can you share with me?
- 52:39I, as much as I've listened to you over the last couple of
- 52:42years, can you share your testimony, whatever you feel
- 52:47like talking about. But, but walk me into how you
- 52:50got to be the BDK you are today. Man, that's a long story.
- 52:58I can tell you this, all right. You want to know how God led me
- 53:02to the place? I'm at now.
- 53:04Yeah he bugged me there with a shepherd's Crook and along the
- 53:10way like a shepherd. He had to break my legs, a
- 53:13couple of times and put me on his shoulders and carry me a
- 53:15bunch. I grew up in religion.
- 53:21I grew up the son of a Lutheran Minister I grew up in church.
- 53:25I learned how to walk literally in a church building.
- 53:29I've slept in church. I I breathe church.
- 53:34I sing in the sunday-school choir in church.
- 53:39Like as a baby, I was baptized in church and that didn't save
- 53:43me obviously, but if I would have died in church back then, I
- 53:47would have In church, and I would have woke up in hell
- 53:50because I did not know Jesus. I knew religion, but I didn't
- 53:55know Jesus and I had doubted the existence of God, I was angry at
- 54:03God for taking my dad away from you when I was young.
- 54:06And I wanted to be a minister like my dad because I loved my
- 54:10dad, but I didn't know the God who I wanted to minister for.
- 54:17And I had more questions than doubt and I started doing bad
- 54:23things. Like every teenager does, I was
- 54:26listening to the wrong music. I was hanging out with the wrong
- 54:29people. I was smoking the wrong things.
- 54:32I was drinking the wrong things. I was doing drugs, I found
- 54:39myself involved in Satanism when I was a teenager.
- 54:45I serve the devil for quite a while I became so drug-addicted
- 54:50that I will literally was forced into rehab at the age of 17
- 54:55years old, and then after I got out of rehab about 3-4 months
- 55:03later, I was back in the same facility for mental health
- 55:06issues, The devil had completely stole my mind, my sanity and the
- 55:13very essence of who I was. And that was something that
- 55:18didn't happen. Overnight that happened piece by
- 55:20piece by piece. and, I got saved because of a witness on witness
- 55:31of a girl that I met when I was 17 and a half.
- 55:39She was a Christian Spirit-filled Pentecostal young
- 55:42woman. We kind of got thrown into a
- 55:47class project together and she knew my reputation.
- 55:53I had a very bad reputation in school, she was an honor roll
- 55:57Society student editor of the yearbook Straight A student.
- 56:04Like she was the complete opposite of me and yet she
- 56:07didn't let my past or my scary demeanor or evilness persuade
- 56:15her from telling me about this Jesus whom she served.
- 56:20And I knew a lot about Jesus. Theoretically, I'm growing up in
- 56:26church, but I didn't know about this Jesus whom she was living
- 56:31out. And she would pray for me, her
- 56:35Christian friends, would be like, we're praying for you and
- 56:39I'd be late. It would drive me nuts but they
- 56:41were they were praying for me. I got saved and I went to a
- 56:46small small, Pentecostal Church. that was in our area that my
- 56:55wife and her friends went to you and I met God in a very powerful
- 57:00way after I was saved. I met God.
- 57:03I didn't alter after a preacher preached, a fiery message that I
- 57:08remember still to this day about the Daniels and the shadrach's
- 57:12and the me shacks and a bendigo's and about a generation
- 57:16that would rise up that would not bow to statues.
- 57:20That would face fiery. Furnaces that wouldn't Flinch at
- 57:23lions. Basically a Young Generation
- 57:28that would serve God harder than they would serve the devil.
- 57:32When I heard that, I understood that because I serve the devil
- 57:37very hard and I was saved now. And when I heard that message,
- 57:44that's what I wanted. The other thing was this church
- 57:47was wildly crazy man. Like Mike and they weren't like
- 57:52one of these charismatic crazy churches that you see nowadays,
- 57:57this wasn't New Apostolic Reformation was classical.
- 58:00Holy Ghost, Pentecostalism. They were full of joy.
- 58:04Good, like our church that I grew up in it.
- 58:08Our hymnals didn't even have amazing grades, because I was
- 58:10too emotional song. I kid you not, I kid you not
- 58:15man, like like we did not raise in the hands like it, Dad, that
- 58:21none of those Shenanigans went on.
- 58:24Church was a very somber, sour thing man.
- 58:28That was part of my problem with religion, right?
- 58:31And I remember being in this church seeing people raising
- 58:35their hands praising the Lord. I remember the preacher
- 58:39preaching with a fire that I've never seen a preacher preach
- 58:42like before in my whole entire life.
- 58:45I remember seeing that these guys had real.
- 58:48Holy ghost power. Power that I had never seen
- 58:52before. And I remember I remember that
- 58:55the end of the sermon was a Sunday night and then old-school
- 58:59Pentecostal churches. If you go to church on a Sunday
- 59:01night like, those things can go on forever because they don't
- 59:05have no constraint of the next service, go at on and that's
- 59:08where the real Pentecostals come out.
- 59:10Like, they have the altar Services, where you go down, and
- 59:13they pray for you and you seek the Lord and man, I'll tell you
- 59:18something, I was so freaked out. Like the servant ended and
- 59:23they're like if you want the power of God if you want to be
- 59:27one of these people that want to serve God harder than you serve
- 59:30the devil you come down here, I was embarrassed to go because I
- 59:34had no. I mean this is my first time in
- 59:36a real church. I was kind of freaking out, then
- 59:39we're turning around. I remember turning around with
- 59:41the people. I came to and just being like,
- 59:43this is really, really cool. Can we go now?
- 59:47But I wanted to go down there. I want to go to dinner so much.
- 59:50Yeah. But I didn't my pride was in the
- 59:53way I couldn't. I was scared and I remember
- 59:57this, I felt the tug on my shirt and there was a little old lady
- 1:00:02who had to have been like 17 years old but her husband was
- 1:00:06like this. He looked like mr.
- 1:00:07Clean but buffer and he he like he was every bit 70 but like he
- 1:00:14had the body of a nineteen-year-old, I mean this
- 1:00:16dude was like house Because I had long hair and all these
- 1:00:24crazy stuff like I, these were these were, these were your
- 1:00:27Holiness Pentecostal has. They were probably looking at me
- 1:00:30really weird. But this little this little
- 1:00:32Grandma's tugging, on my shirt, add I look at her and she's
- 1:00:36like, young man. Lord told me that God wants you
- 1:00:40to go down there, but you need to obey what God is telling you
- 1:00:43to do in this moment. Like, if you walk away now, God
- 1:00:47will honor that because he knows you're scared.
- 1:00:50But if you go down there, you will answer the prayer that you
- 1:00:52just prayed silently. And I was like, I didn't know
- 1:00:58what a word of knowledge was right.
- 1:00:59Like they didn't teach me. We were cessationists and
- 1:01:03Lutheran Church didn't teach me about none of this I freaked out
- 1:01:06because I thought this this this lady was psychic and just read
- 1:01:09my mind. There's to read my mail.
- 1:01:11She read my mail thought for that.
- 1:01:13Oh wow. And at that point, what do you
- 1:01:16do? You know, you go down?
- 1:01:18Yeah, you go down there. You could down there, man.
- 1:01:21And I just, I remember being down there and I didn't know
- 1:01:23what to do. Like like this, these churches
- 1:01:28weren't the type that, you know, you know, everybody's forms a
- 1:01:30line and then the pastor comes like a shark in the water and
- 1:01:33just starts knocking everybody down.
- 1:01:35And that's not what this was man.
- 1:01:37People would just go down to the Altar and do business with God
- 1:01:40and then people would call maybe lay hands on you in the back or
- 1:01:42pray for you whatever counsel you.
- 1:01:45And I mean it was a really holy moment, but I remember standing
- 1:01:48there in a crowd of people and I remember looking around and some
- 1:01:52people were praying and some people had their hands lifted up
- 1:01:54in the Music in the background. I just remember like maybe I
- 1:01:59should raise my hands, you know, so I raise my hands and maybe I
- 1:02:04should maybe I should pray. And and the moment I started
- 1:02:08praying that prayer God, if you give me the power that these
- 1:02:13people have this, holy ghost power, I'll serve you.
- 1:02:16I'll serve you harder than I've ever served the devil, I
- 1:02:19promise. This is my Covenant, to you.
- 1:02:21My oath to you, because I was aware of the power of
- 1:02:24culminating oath is the Satanist.
- 1:02:27And, and I knew that That if I made that oath, it would be, it
- 1:02:33would be heard because this lady confirmed, it in the Pew and I
- 1:02:37remember, just the feeling of that moment, the Holiness of
- 1:02:40that moment, it was like I was standing in God's very presence,
- 1:02:44I could feel it, I was crying. I was weeping, I just had my
- 1:02:47hands up and I just remember, like they finally played a song
- 1:02:53that I remember hearing like Pentecostals play the songs
- 1:02:57different though, like but I could remember that it was a
- 1:03:00song. In our opinion Hymnal but it was
- 1:03:02played in a way that we have never heard it.
- 1:03:04And I remember starting to sing it.
- 1:03:07I remember to start to pray a little bit and then I felt hands
- 1:03:11on the back of my head, reaching down to my neck and someone was
- 1:03:16just holding my head in a vise grip in the moment they did man,
- 1:03:20I felt a fire swept through my body.
- 1:03:24Clear, like, I felt such an in feeling of power.
- 1:03:30And before I knew it, the words that I were speaking weren't
- 1:03:32even English anymore and I was like, I didn't know what that
- 1:03:36meant. Yeah.
- 1:03:37I didn't know what that meant, I had no frame of reference.
- 1:03:40Nobody had to talk me into it or be like, hey, you come here and
- 1:03:43repeat what I'm repeating and then they abbadabba do, like
- 1:03:46none of you have any like on that.
- 1:03:50And I just, I turned around at the end and it was that lady's
- 1:03:54husband And and I went back to my seat and everybody was there.
- 1:04:07Plus this evangelist that was also there, that was a street
- 1:04:11Minister. And the first words out of my
- 1:04:14mouth was show me where what something I told them what
- 1:04:18happened. And I said, I was speaking
- 1:04:22things, I didn't even understand and I said, I don't know if this
- 1:04:26is a real show to me in the Bible, they just opened up the
- 1:04:28book of Acts and you just are showing me, and I was like, oh
- 1:04:32my goodness, this is real, and that that's been the promise
- 1:04:36man. Now, I'll be honest with you and
- 1:04:39your listeners that I've been trying to keep that promise now
- 1:04:44for the last 30 years, and there have been times where I've kept
- 1:04:47that promise to serve the Lord harder than Serve the devil and
- 1:04:51there were times that I've back, slid on that promise and God has
- 1:04:56been extremely faithful to go out and rescue me when I go
- 1:05:02astray. And he's done that.
- 1:05:07I mean, I went through a period where I was completely, you
- 1:05:13know, I'd got have gotten out of ministry.
- 1:05:15I had stopped being an evangelist, I stopped being a
- 1:05:17pastor. I basically fell away for a
- 1:05:20while and started drinking again, sort of smoking.
- 1:05:24Again, living in a way that completely Dishonored, the Lord,
- 1:05:29I almost died one night because of it, and the Lord in his
- 1:05:33Mercy. Broke my legs and put me on his
- 1:05:36shoulders and pick me up and took me back. and and I'll tell
- 1:05:42you something, man, from that point on like never another
- 1:05:47drop, never another cigarette. Like jiri filled me with the
- 1:05:51Holy Spirit and my friend Kurt. He's been my best friend
- 1:05:56forever, just started like let's do a podcast and then I don't
- 1:06:01even know. On was like when he was like
- 1:06:03let's do one and we did it. And the greatest thing of all
- 1:06:09was I met really cool Brothers. I met someone, I met I met Sam
- 1:06:14Swanson from God's Property radio, I met Justin West, Chad
- 1:06:22Phil Baker, like I've met all these dudes that have spoken so
- 1:06:26much truth in my life and meeting.
- 1:06:30Phil Baker was probably the most Important person I've ever met
- 1:06:35in my life because he introduced me to the earliest followers of
- 1:06:41Christ and their words and the early church fathers and this
- 1:06:46anabaptist theology that I holy cling to you right now. and, I
- 1:06:55have never found so much purpose in my life than I have in the
- 1:07:00last three years because I finally understand the identity
- 1:07:07of Jesus and his gospel. And it took me going through all
- 1:07:13the Pentecostals and which I still believe in being spirit
- 1:07:16filled. I believe in the gifts of the
- 1:07:18Spirit, I believe in, I believe in a tongues.
- 1:07:21I believe in all the gifts, man. Don't get me wrong, but that
- 1:07:25stuff all is Reliant upon preaching, a very biblical
- 1:07:29gospel, and those signs and wonders confirm the preaching of
- 1:07:33the gospel. And when I understood the fact
- 1:07:38that I'm a pilgrim and I'm not of this world.
- 1:07:41And when I understood the Simplicity of this to Kingdom
- 1:07:45message, but there's a kingdom of darkness, there's a kingdom
- 1:07:49of light, there's a kingdom of God, and it's a spiritual
- 1:07:52kingdom, and there's a kingdom of man and that these two
- 1:07:55kingdoms are at war with each other.
- 1:07:59And that. Everything in the kingdom of
- 1:08:04God, is upside down from the things of the kingdom of men?
- 1:08:08But it's good because when God turns our world upside down,
- 1:08:13it's only upside down to us right?
- 1:08:16What he's really doing is he's turning the world, right side up
- 1:08:19for us again. And that's where I am now.
- 1:08:28The greatest thing that God ever did, for me was give me a
- 1:08:32Simplicity of faith. Where I've been able to take all
- 1:08:37of the religious bologna, all of the trappings of religion, all
- 1:08:43of the dogma and doctrine of organized, religion, and just
- 1:08:48put it aside and become a follower of the way.
- 1:08:51And the one who is the way, the truth and the life to let the
- 1:08:54simple words of Christ, just be the simple words of Christ and
- 1:08:58it's hard because the simple words of Christ are two edged
- 1:09:01sword, and they will divide my allegiance.
- 1:09:03Nine times out of ten but man when Jesus says that the Kingdom
- 1:09:11of Heaven is like a little child entering it.
- 1:09:15That we must have faith of a little child.
- 1:09:18He wasn't kidding. The kingdom of God is the most
- 1:09:22simple thing to embrace. It's not hard to figure out.
- 1:09:26It can be summed up in three chapters in The Book of Matthew.
- 1:09:31If we just have the audacity enough to read those words and
- 1:09:34take them at face value, and not add in all our traditions, and
- 1:09:38what other people tell us these words mean, But just to live
- 1:09:43them out in Simplicity of faith. Wow, and when I started doing
- 1:09:48that, my life completely changed.
- 1:09:52Change that had been burdening me my whole entire life fell
- 1:09:56off. I felt like a person who was
- 1:09:58blind now seeing again. and, I would just.
- 1:10:06I would just challenge anyone that's listening right now.
- 1:10:11If you want to know Jesus. The clearest way to get to know
- 1:10:16him, honestly. Is to open up the Book of
- 1:10:21Matthew. Go chapters 5 6 and 7.
- 1:10:25And read his teachings on The Sermon, on the Mount, because
- 1:10:29everything in essence, even how to pray is in there.
- 1:10:35Everything that the kingdom of God is, is there?
- 1:10:39And then he finishes it by saying?
- 1:10:41Now, if you just obey the things that I've taught you, if you
- 1:10:46hear my words and Obey them, the things that I just taught you in
- 1:10:50these last three chapters, you're going to be like a wise
- 1:10:53man. Who built his foundation upon my
- 1:10:56words. when the storms come and the tribulations come and the
- 1:11:02waves come, and they beat upon the house, your house will stand
- 1:11:08but if you do not follow what I've just told you to do, if you
- 1:11:11hear these words and do them, not You are like a foolish man
- 1:11:16who built your house upon sand and the waves are going to come.
- 1:11:19And the rain is going to come and the storm is going to beat
- 1:11:22upon your house and it will fall.
- 1:11:25But I think that's probably one of the most prophetic things
- 1:11:27that Jesus ever said. And it's one of the things that
- 1:11:31that we really must understand at this hour because people ask
- 1:11:34me all the time about different aspects of the tribulation and
- 1:11:38what we can do to prepare for this prophetic hour and I just
- 1:11:41tell them, look, man. Storm is going to come.
- 1:11:45The flood is going to come, it's going to be like the days of
- 1:11:48Noah both in Genesis 6 but there's a flood.
- 1:11:52There's a flood of the tribulation that's coming and
- 1:11:56it's not a matter of if the storms are going to beat against
- 1:11:58your house and if the rains are going to come they're going to
- 1:12:01come the rain falls on the just and the unjust write this
- 1:12:05tribulation, this rain this testing of mankind, the trials
- 1:12:10and the Darkness of this, our going to come to our houses,
- 1:12:13each and every one of us but if we hear what Jesus says, we obey
- 1:12:21and we follow Jesus and his teachings.
- 1:12:25Our house will stand. They don't know about you man,
- 1:12:29but they're that sounds good to me.
- 1:12:32That sounds like an offer that no one else in this world could
- 1:12:35make. And I would just challenge
- 1:12:38everyone that's listening tonight to to take some time to
- 1:12:44read those chapters, maybe for a week.
- 1:12:48Just read the three chapters read them in the morning or the
- 1:12:52evening. Whenever your devotional time is
- 1:12:55read them for a week and really think on them really study them.
- 1:13:00And and take the preconceived notions out.
- 1:13:05Like and and think about your life like when Jesus says, hey
- 1:13:10man, like if an enemy strikes, you turn the other cheek.
- 1:13:15Like don't repay evil right with violence.
- 1:13:20Like, ask yourself, is that my life?
- 1:13:25Like when someone comes at me, do I turn the other cheek?
- 1:13:29When Jesus talks about not looking upon women with lust,
- 1:13:33ask yourself, is that my life? When he says, don't hate your
- 1:13:38brother ask yourself, is that my life?
- 1:13:42They sound so simple, this so childlike.
- 1:13:44Don't hate your brother. If you hate your brother, You're
- 1:13:47a murderer. A five-year-old can grasp that
- 1:13:50concept. Don't hate my brother.
- 1:13:51Don't hate my sister. Especially if you have a bratty
- 1:13:54brother or sister, right? But to do it as an adult is a
- 1:13:59million times harder. So if I would, I would say, hey
- 1:14:04man, start investigating these simple truths of God.
- 1:14:08And if your life is in variance with anything that he preaches,
- 1:14:12Put it back in variance, put it back in order and there will be
- 1:14:17a blessing a blessing. Second thing I would, I would
- 1:14:22tell people is read the book of Revelation that way.
- 1:14:26Read read what Paul teaches in Thessalonians.
- 1:14:30That way. Read it at face value.
- 1:14:33Don't let your Traditions or denomination teaches you about
- 1:14:36the Book of Revelation hinder. What that book plainly says.
- 1:14:41Everyone like is like that book is a mystery and will never
- 1:14:45understand it. It's going to be pant rib and
- 1:14:48like it. We've got one has to know the
- 1:14:49Book of Revelation that he wouldn't have made it such a
- 1:14:52mystery. No, no, no.
- 1:14:53This the only it's the only book in the Bible with a Seeing for
- 1:14:56those who read it and do it, which means that he expects us
- 1:15:02to understand, there's nothing mysterious about anything in
- 1:15:05that book. There really isn't if it is.
- 1:15:08Then God is a cruel cruel. God who promises a blessing for
- 1:15:12something? That he says that he wants to
- 1:15:15keep a mystery. That doesn't make sense read
- 1:15:18that book. Understand that book that book
- 1:15:20is the playbook for the coming prophetic hour man.
- 1:15:25And then most importantly, after you read these things, do it.
- 1:15:30Because without doing it in profits, us nothing.
- 1:15:35So that's what I would be doing that.
- 1:15:38That is what's brought me closer to God, to answer your question.
- 1:15:41Doing those simple things, it's just the simple things, man.
- 1:15:45I'm sorry. Like that, that will never sell
- 1:15:47a book for 1999 that will never sell the DVD for 450 bucks.
- 1:15:52And it sure as heck won't get me on Sid Roth unless I promise to
- 1:15:57his vision of Heaven on top of that because like, it's just
- 1:16:01simple advice that you give away for free, but hey, Jesus gave
- 1:16:04Life away for free too man. So it is what it is, man.
- 1:16:10BTK just took an emotional roller coaster with you
- 1:16:15listening to your response and it's just so authentic and it's,
- 1:16:22I believe, you know, the God just works in these mysterious
- 1:16:27ways in the simplicity, Of what he tells us in his word and what
- 1:16:33he does to the our hearts along this process, it was it was a
- 1:16:37lot of points. I could relate to and you
- 1:16:40talking about, you know, things that you were doing and
- 1:16:43experiencing. When you were younger to come to
- 1:16:45the Lord to Fallen away and dealing with those things.
- 1:16:48It's just, it's beautiful for brothers to be able to be
- 1:16:51transparent with each other, and to discuss these things.
- 1:16:55And for anybody, you know, that's going to be listening To
- 1:17:00this and you've made it this far.
- 1:17:02I just you guys just You know, the Lord is good and just take
- 1:17:11his word at face value. Don't let anybody try to put you
- 1:17:15in the box of how to think about the Bible, just open it for
- 1:17:20yourself and read it. I've been saying for years
- 1:17:24since, you know, dr. Chuck Missler listening to him.
- 1:17:27The Bible means what it says and it says, what it means.
- 1:17:30Amen. And just, you know, we don't
- 1:17:33need a pope or, you know, you know, some Magical, you know,
- 1:17:39Christian ten steps to, you know, prosperity of the Gospel
- 1:17:42book. We just need to open the word
- 1:17:44and in the humbleness and humility of our heart, read it
- 1:17:48and believe like a kid, you know, I have teenagers as of two
- 1:17:52days ago when the sixth, they're just my twins turned 13 and my
- 1:17:56youngest will be for next month. And, you know, these beautiful
- 1:18:02kids, the Lord's given me and just watch him, you know how
- 1:18:04they learn and how they grow. And just as I mean my teenagers
- 1:18:07are almost as tall as me. Now.
- 1:18:09They're taller than my wife and it's like a little like
- 1:18:13rhodopsin. Like, oh my gosh, and You know,
- 1:18:19they're still kids at heart, but I was talking with my daughter
- 1:18:23and what I'm getting at here is like, that, that childlike
- 1:18:25Faith, you know, and how it's evident in children.
- 1:18:29But yet in our belief, you know, that we just believe it's
- 1:18:33foolishness to the world. The scriptures talk about the
- 1:18:35cross, is foolishness to those who are perishing but to those
- 1:18:37who believe is the power of God, I'm talking with my daughter the
- 1:18:42other day and she says Dad There's this kid at school and
- 1:18:45he's really popular. And everybody loves this because
- 1:18:48she's going on and on, talking about this kid at school and she
- 1:18:52says, Dad, he's he's gay. That is that okay, what's going
- 1:18:58on there? And I said honey I don't, you
- 1:19:01know, remember I'm talking to my 12 year old daughter so I'm like
- 1:19:03I can't like philosophically go through and like the Bible says
- 1:19:06this and I feel like I was like, give me a simple response here.
- 1:19:10Like this is one of those father-daughter moments of like
- 1:19:13this. What I'm going to tell her is
- 1:19:15going to stick with her the rest of her life.
- 1:19:17So, I'm praying on the couch, just give me wisdom and I look
- 1:19:20at her and I say, honey. If I was gay, would you be here?
- 1:19:27And she wasn't, oh, Dad, you're right and I said, honey, still
- 1:19:33living breathing person. You know, you don't go like be
- 1:19:36like my dad said that, you know, like throw stone at the guys,
- 1:19:39but in that moment, just God gave me the simplest direct
- 1:19:45answer that made sense for my daughter and her childlike
- 1:19:49belief like when her eyes got big and she's like Dad you,
- 1:19:52right? Like if you had been gay, like I
- 1:19:54wouldn't be here, Dad like she understood To all of all of it
- 1:19:58and just the twinkling of an eye.
- 1:20:00Anyway, it just reminds me of how like we believe the Lord
- 1:20:03Jesus, and what he says and how we don't need to overcomplicate
- 1:20:07it. But man, you took me on an
- 1:20:09emotional roller coaster listening to your response, you
- 1:20:13know, to our question of how you, you know, the Lord has led
- 1:20:16you to where you are today. I know, every single one of us
- 1:20:19has a beautiful and unique testimony to share and we should
- 1:20:25not be ashamed. You guys.
- 1:20:26As you're listening wherever you're listening from overseas,
- 1:20:30whether you know, you're in the Philippines, you're in Germany
- 1:20:33or here in the states. Don't be ashamed or afraid of
- 1:20:36your testimony. You guys when God, when Jesus is
- 1:20:40the Lord and savior of your life.
- 1:20:42And he's working these things out, he's continuing to bring
- 1:20:46these things up and he's dealing with you.
- 1:20:50And, you know, he's walking with you through the course of your
- 1:20:52life. Don't be afraid to share with
- 1:20:54people, the good he's done for you.
- 1:20:57The scriptures talk about how it's a sweet and savory sent the
- 1:21:00Lord, when we declare his goodness and his righteousness
- 1:21:04and how faithful he's been to us in our lives, we're like an hour
- 1:21:11and 20-some minutes. I kind of want to wind down here
- 1:21:14a little bit and get ready to close out.
- 1:21:18Micah, do you have a response to that before we give vdk like,
- 1:21:22you know, his last Segment here on the show, is there anything
- 1:21:29you want to fill? I know, I kind of jumped in and
- 1:21:31ask you were looking at me or like, like, your heart was
- 1:21:34swelling up, and you're feeling it too.
- 1:21:35I just, I felt like there's something you need to say now.
- 1:21:38I just I enjoyed listening to be DK.
- 1:21:41B. BD K.
- 1:21:43Yeah. I can't tell you how many times
- 1:21:46I've been at work with an earbud in and been encouraged by the
- 1:21:49things you said. And, you know, listening to your
- 1:21:53testimony. I was able to relate not to all
- 1:21:57of it. But to a lot of it, you know,
- 1:21:59being raised in the church and I was like, spiritually calloused,
- 1:22:05if you want to put it like that, and the church I was raised in
- 1:22:07was a Lutheran. Like, we were Holy Spirit, you
- 1:22:09know, tongues talking people running up and down, you know,
- 1:22:13non-denominational, but basically Pentecostal and, you
- 1:22:18know, just but being callous, because I was so inundated in
- 1:22:22it. I remember the moment, I almost
- 1:22:25decided to turn to Wicca Because I just, you know, I was sick of
- 1:22:29hearing about, like I saw a lot of the flaky Christianity, not
- 1:22:32that all of those like that. But, you know, it became corny
- 1:22:37to me. and I just wanted something real, I want, and I
- 1:22:41was picked on a lot, you know, I I'm not going to get into it
- 1:22:44because I don't want to, I don't want to wind down here.
- 1:22:48But uh, You know, it took a lot of fiery trials in my life and
- 1:22:54to get to where I am today and I'm at this, it's this makes
- 1:23:00sense, it's a contradiction. I wish it hadn't taken me so
- 1:23:03long to get to where I am. And I wish I hadn't had to go
- 1:23:06through what I went through to get to where I am, but I'm
- 1:23:09grateful for what I went through and I would never trade it for
- 1:23:12the world. If that makes any sense, I'll
- 1:23:17totally brother. And I remember being when I was
- 1:23:19a teenager, we're just talking about testimonies I remember
- 1:23:23being at the youth rallies and all these places and people, you
- 1:23:26know, we're going to have a guy shared tonight about how he went
- 1:23:28to prison 15 times and he slept with every girl and did every
- 1:23:32drug, but God saved him. And you know what I mean?
- 1:23:34Like those kind of things like they're Sensational and I
- 1:23:38remember thinking, I'm just a pastor's kid growing up in
- 1:23:40church. I don't have a testimony.
- 1:23:43And it used to actually kill me inside in a way.
- 1:23:47And, you know, people used to do, don't worry the best
- 1:23:50testimony. You can have is not having, you
- 1:23:52know, all that junk and you know, I agree with it is but as
- 1:23:56a kid, you know, I just felt like left out in a way but
- 1:24:01Needless to say, God did give me testimony.
- 1:24:05And he did and everybody has a different one.
- 1:24:09But the reason why we have these testimonies is to show how good
- 1:24:14God is, to show the power of God, and that's why we have
- 1:24:18them. And that's why we go through
- 1:24:19these dark times. It's not, it's not anything
- 1:24:24really? It's not about us, it's all
- 1:24:26about him. And if we rely on him, we call
- 1:24:30on him. And most importantly, if we
- 1:24:33surrender to him We see what he does in us and we see what he
- 1:24:38does through us. And you know, I feel like such a
- 1:24:43broken vessel. So often I beat myself up over
- 1:24:48the smallest sin and I just daily, I come before God and say
- 1:24:53Lord if you can still accept a guy like me, I would be thrilled
- 1:24:58to be a shoe. Shiner a doorkeeper in your
- 1:25:00house for all eternity. If you just accept me and keep
- 1:25:04me, you know, I don't need to have crowns or robes Or Glory.
- 1:25:08I don't deserve any of that. But what's really awesome about
- 1:25:11our God, as he gives that to us and just like the prodigal son,
- 1:25:16you know, he came to this breaking point, he finds himself
- 1:25:19eating slop with the pigs. I'm realizing you know what?
- 1:25:23My father treats his servants so well and I Was a Fool to leave,
- 1:25:27but if he takes me back, I will be a servant.
- 1:25:31I will be a lowly, you know, even even the lowliest person in
- 1:25:35this house is treated with dignity and that's how I feel
- 1:25:38about my God, you know, is broken, as I become a, I say
- 1:25:43God, you know, if you would just just make me a lowly vessel in
- 1:25:47your place because I know that it's better than the alternative
- 1:25:50and I just want to be in your presence.
- 1:25:51Since but what's even better than that is, when we come back
- 1:25:54to him in that broken stay, he does give us a ring.
- 1:25:57He does give us a robe and he does give us a place of status
- 1:26:00but it's not because of us it's because of what his son Jesus
- 1:26:04did and it's just it's fantastic.
- 1:26:10And really that that was amazing.
- 1:26:13You got me. Choked up a little bit over
- 1:26:15here. Wow.
- 1:26:18It's just you know we know the spirit of God's here and it said
- 1:26:23that other amazing aspect that, you know you being in Wisconsin,
- 1:26:26us here in Philly. It doesn't matter.
- 1:26:28God is beyond time, he's beyond space.
- 1:26:33And and I'm thankful because you know, Satan can't do that, he's
- 1:26:38not he's not omniscient, he's not on the present, he's not
- 1:26:41omnipotent. He's a created being just like
- 1:26:44we are except we have Redemption and salvation through Jesus
- 1:26:48Christ where is him and his Fallen Angels they don't have
- 1:26:52that so they lash out but you know what we know that wrapping
- 1:26:56it back up to the beginning we have the Playbook and whether or
- 1:27:00not we may suffer and lose through some battles.
- 1:27:03We know that the war is won. Yeah, amen.
- 1:27:11BTK it's been an honor to have you on here.
- 1:27:15Micah, it's been an honor to have you here.
- 1:27:19You guys. It's just, I'm going to
- 1:27:22re-listen to this, probably two times before I add it and
- 1:27:24release it. I mean, it's just, there's
- 1:27:27genuine agreement and love for Jesus and I hope that that just
- 1:27:33continues and but this episode just calls his other brothers to
- 1:27:37just forgive each other over the small little things and just
- 1:27:42keep love and that our love wouldn't grow cold as these days
- 1:27:46approach and udk. Is there anything else?
- 1:27:49You want to say to the audience before we get off the episode
- 1:27:52here? No doubt much my command.
- 1:27:56You kind of said pretty much an old man.
- 1:28:00I don't know if I could even follow that.
- 1:28:01The only thing I would say to people is I think one of the
- 1:28:06valuable things that if you take away something from this,
- 1:28:10episode's kind of what you just said Rodney.
- 1:28:14It's like this is an example of three different Brothers coming
- 1:28:17together and just dwelling in unity in law.
- 1:28:21And we need to, we need a bunch of that in the body of Christ
- 1:28:23right now. And it's, it's about people
- 1:28:25being authentic and, and authentic in their faith and
- 1:28:29authentic in their love. And the only thing I would tell
- 1:28:33people is that's what this world is dying to see.
- 1:28:39And man, if you have a talent, whether it's podcasting or
- 1:28:45whether it's fixing cars, or whether it's being hospitable or
- 1:28:50being an usher or whatever, it doesn't matter if it's big or
- 1:28:55very very small God doesn't doesn't see that, he doesn't
- 1:29:01grade on that scale. He doesn't grade on that curve.
- 1:29:05If you have a gift from God be bold enough to use it.
- 1:29:09If your gift is podcasting, if your gift is talking, if your
- 1:29:13gift is sharing your testimony, if it's what we're doing right
- 1:29:17now, get yourself a microphone and a and a phone, if nothing
