- 1:25We welcome you to this another edition of End Time Revival Ministries USA podcast.
- 1:30I am your host, Pastor al Zachary, and today we are going to
- 1:34Amen continue in our series on Pandemic of Lies, Amen, Pandemic of Lies,
- 1:46and today I want to focus on the power of delusion, the power
- 1:53of delusion. Whenever a person or people are brought under the power of delusion,
- 2:02their minds have already been separated from the truth and from reality. Their
- 2:10minds become the workshops of the demonic who is now or what is now controlling
- 2:16their thoughts and also manipulating their actions or deeds which are in direct contradiction to
- 2:25the truth of God. And this is clearly demonstrated and spelled ot force,
- 2:30as I've stated on so many, many many occasions Amen over the years,
- 2:36on not only this podcast, but a radio broadcasts over the years. In
- 2:42Romans chapter number one, when men deliberately suppress the truth of God, this
- 2:47is what happens. God gives them over to a reprobate mind. And so
- 2:53when the power of delusion comes upon a person, their minds have been separated
- 2:59from truth from reality. Amen. And the devil is the father of lies,
- 3:04and he is the mastermind of the delusion. When the mind is given
- 3:09over to delusion, it becomes it is rather because brother, somewhere, in
- 3:20some way, there's been this consistent denial again, as I've already said,
- 3:25suppression of truth, and which subsequently causes the separation from truth. The Spirit
- 3:35of God, however, and thank God for his mercy, Thank God for
- 3:38his compassion, Thank God for his long suffering, his forbearance, his goodness
- 3:44toward each and every one of us. God gives all men space to repent.
- 3:49Never forget it. God gives each and every one of us space to
- 3:53repent. And that's why his Holy Spirit, the spirit of a living God,
- 4:00is at work even now in this world to move upon the conscience,
- 4:05to work within the hearts of man, to steer us away from the lies,
- 4:13away from the deception of the adversary. That's what he comes to do,
- 4:18a man to steal away the truth, a man out of the hearts
- 4:23of the amn seed of the Word of God that is sown in the earth.
- 4:28See the parable of Jesus about the soul and the seed. However,
- 4:30after the Holy Spirit, listen, please understand this, After the striving of
- 4:35the Holy Spirit with man for so long. When there is hardness of the
- 4:44heart, when there is the stiffening of the neck, man is then given
- 4:49over to his own delusions, to his own a man heart's desire to seek
- 4:58after that which he would want to indulge in, want to engage in,
- 5:04a man want to satisfy himself in. Now he may not even accomplish it,
- 5:12he may not even achieve it. But God will give him over to
- 5:15it, to the pursuit of it, to the pursuit of it. And
- 5:20the Bible teaches, by the way, there is a way that seems right
- 5:25to this man. Amen. He thinks that he's doing what. He thinks
- 5:29that he's in control. He thinks that he's the master of his faith,
- 5:32in control of his destiny. There's a way that seems right to a man.
- 5:39But the end of his chosen path, the Bible teaches, again,
- 5:42leads to death. It is the sentence of death, because the Bible says,
- 5:46the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God, thank
- 5:50you Jesus, is eternal life. He dies spiritually, he dies naturally,
- 5:59and he's now forever alienated from the life of God and living in a state
- 6:03of hopelessness. Even if he's still breathing and living and walking and moving and
- 6:10operating in this earth, he is spiritually dead. He is alienated from God,
- 6:15and ultimately he would die a man the natural death, and forever be
- 6:20banished, a man from Amen. All of the glory that God has for
- 6:25them that obey him. Amen, But thank God again. The spirit of
- 6:29God is at work, Amen, to save you, to deliver you,
- 6:31if you are yet lost. His spirit is at work. He's knocking at
- 6:36the doors of the heart. Amen, of men and women everywhere, to
- 6:43save them, to deliver them from this great delusion. Amen, that is
- 6:47in our world today all of mankind. A man are recipients of the goodness
- 6:53and mercy of God, a man in abundance that the Bible teaches again,
- 6:58because he causes his rain to fall on the just and the unjust, his
- 7:00son to shine up on all of us. In fact, purely from the
- 7:04natural perspective, it seems as if the evil and the ungodly man is more
- 7:10prosperous, is receiving all of the desires of his heart. Amen. Such
- 7:18is the power. Though ladies and gentlemen don't be deceived. Such is the
- 7:25power of delusion that is in our world today. And again, as I've
- 7:29often stated, Amen, the Psalmis Amen had that same kind of perception or
- 7:34perspective until he went into the House of God. He set my foot almost
- 7:41slipped. Amen. One of the earliest examples. I want to take you
- 7:46to the Book of Exodust, by the way, one of the earlies,
- 7:48earliest examples that we have in the Word of God of a people who were
- 7:54given over to delusion, Amen, is in this book of Exodus, the
- 8:00second book with the Bible. A man with these newly deliberate delivered Israelite,
- 8:05a man slaves who had been brought out of Egypt from the bondage of the
- 8:11Pharaoh. God mightily broke the chains of their slavery. God brought them a
- 8:18man to the very point of entering into a land of their heritage, a
- 8:24man to be his own special people with all of the blessings and favor,
- 8:28a man that would be accorded to them, A man who, by the
- 8:33way this God would sustain them for generations perpetually, all because he promised it
- 8:39to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, their fathers. Amen. And after being
- 8:45first hand witnesses, eyewitnesses, Ladies and gentlemen, Please understand what happened here,
- 8:50after being firsthand eyewitnesses of all of God's signs and wonders that He performed
- 8:58in the of Egypt, and even after they exit it out of Egypt,
- 9:05the Bible teaches us, and we can see this, they still rebelled in
- 9:11their unbelief. And all of them in that generation, every single man,
- 9:16woman, boy, every single man and woman above the age of twenty.
- 9:20You read that a little later in the Book of Numbers and on in the
- 9:26Old Testament. There except for two individuals, Joshua and Caleb, everyone else
- 9:33died in the wilderness. Amen, because of their unbelief, because of their
- 9:37rebellion, because they were given over to their delusions. They suffered the same
- 9:41fate that is repeatedly befalling the man or the woman or the people who succumb
- 9:50a man to the power of the spirit of the delusion, a man that
- 9:56is still at work in this world. And I want to take you to
- 9:58Extradus chapter number thirty. Amen. Again, the people of God. Amen,
- 10:01they have been brought out of Egypt, brought out of bundage, brought
- 10:05out of slavery. They have seen all of the miracles and signs and wonders
- 10:11that God has performed on their behalf. Amen. Again, while they were
- 10:16in Egypt. When they exited out of Egypt, how God overthrew Pharaoh's army
- 10:20in the Red Sea. Amen, caused them to walk over on dry ground.
- 10:26He fed them, he clothed them, He gave them water, Amen,
- 10:31and gave them even food from heaven. Amen. But yet the people,
- 10:37Amen, did not believe God. They didn't believe in him. Watch
- 10:43with the Bible teachers, look at Exodus chapter thirty two, beginning that verse
- 10:46number one, Moses has gone up into the mountain. By way of context
- 10:52here so you can understand what the situation is. They're out of Egypt,
- 10:56They're on their way to the Promised Land. God is communicating with Moses,
- 11:01and Moses is communicating with the people. So Moses is absent from the camp
- 11:07for a number of days forty days. And the Bible says, when the
- 11:13people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount out of the
- 11:20mountain, the people, the Bible says, gathered themselves together unto Aaron and
- 11:28said, unto him, arise, make us God, which shall go before
- 11:35us. For as for this Moses, the man who brought us out up
- 11:43out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has become of him.
- 11:52Erin, by the way, for those of you who don't know your
- 11:52Bibles, is the brother, the blood brother, the older brother of Moses.
- 12:00And he would be going to become the first priest, high priest of
- 12:05Amen of the children of Israel. But in this particular instance, Amen,
- 12:11Aaron was down there with the people. Moses and Joshua were up in the
- 12:16mountain, and Moses was communing with God, receiving, by the way,
- 12:20the commandments from God, instruction from God to give to the people. And
- 12:26so when the people saw that Moses took a long time, Amen to come
- 12:33back. Make us some gods, Aaron, Amen, that will go ahead
- 12:41for us, that will now lead us, that will be our new leaders.
- 12:43Make us a god or gods, because the man, this Moses,
- 12:52Fella. Now see they didn't attribute the glory to God. See, this
- 12:56is what happened when you give glory to man and not to God. This
- 12:58is when you look. This is what happens when you look to man and
- 13:01not to God. This is what happens when you put the praise or attribute
- 13:09the things of God to man, when you reduce, or as it was,
- 13:16as it were, minimize the power and glory of God that belongs only
- 13:22to him. And this is what the people have done in their minds.
- 13:24Moses is the one who brought them out. Moses is the man who delivered
- 13:28them. As for the man Moldes, the man who brought us out of
- 13:35Egypt, delivered us from Pharaoh. We don't know what happened to him.
- 13:43We don't know what's going on with Moses. He's up in the mountain and
- 13:46he's missing in action. Look at verse number two, and Aaron said,
- 13:50unto them, very little resistance. Here, break off the golden earrings which
- 13:56are in the ears of your wives, of your son, and of your
- 14:00daughters, and bring them onto me. The Bible says, all the people
- 14:07broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto
- 14:11Erin. And he received them from their hand and fashioned it with an engraving
- 14:20two. After he made it a molten calf. Erin received the gold from
- 14:35the people, fashioned it with an engraving tube. After he had made it.
- 14:41The Bible says a molden calf, And they said the people, these
- 14:50are thy gods o Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of
- 14:58each other. By the way that statement, by the way, ladies and
- 15:01gentlemen, listen, listens, and isn't carefully that statement really is in contradiction
- 15:07to what they ask of Erin in the first place. What they originally ask
- 15:13of Erin was to make them gods which will go before us, in other
- 15:20words, which will lead us from this point forward. But after the god
- 15:26was made out of their own articles, of their own production, their own
- 15:37jewelry, they turn around and say, this is how you go to delusion,
- 15:43ladies and gentlemen, This is how you go to delusion when you start
- 15:48believing lies. They then turn and say, these are thy gods o Israel,
- 15:58which brought the up out of the land of Egypt. Ladies and gentlemen.
- 16:07The calf that they made just came into existence moments ago. But somehow
- 16:18the delusion that is in their heads, that is in their hearts, that
- 16:22is in their minds, captivates them into believing, into chanting that this molten
- 16:37calf that was just fashioned five minutes ago, two minutes ago. Is the
- 16:45God that brought you out of the land of Egypt, that delivered you out
- 16:52of bondage. This is true delusion. The Bible says. When Aaron saw
- 17:03it verse five, he built an altar before it, and Aaron made proclamation
- 17:08and said, tomorrow is a feast to the Lord. Now these all,
- 17:12oh, wait a minute, syncretism. Now you're gonna worship this God and
- 17:21worship this God, and combine the two together, and we're gonna have a
- 17:26feast to the Lord well as we as, while at the same time we
- 17:32have Buddha's idols. Uh oh, the Bible says verse six. And they
- 17:42rose up early on the morrow and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings,
- 17:49and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to
- 17:57play. And those of you who don't know what that means, they were
- 18:00having an orgy, the Bible says in verse seven. And by the way
- 18:10God sees all of this, he knows. The Lord said to Moses,
- 18:15Moses is up in the mountain. Moses doesn't know what's happening. Joshua doesn't
- 18:18know what happening at this point, but God knows. So the Lord says
- 18:22to Moses, go get thee down for thy people which thou broughtest. That's
- 18:30what they said. And this is Moses with the Moses. They gave it
- 18:33to Moses. So the Lord says, okay, Moses, your people who
- 18:37you brought out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. They have
- 18:42turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made
- 18:48themselves a molden calf and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed thereinto and said,
- 18:55these are thy gods, o Israel, which have brought thee up out
- 18:59of the land of Egypt. And so the Lord says to Moses verse nine,
- 19:03final verse I'm going to read. God says to Moses, I have
- 19:07seen this people, and behold it is a stiff necked people, ladies and
- 19:18gentlemen. That is astonishing delusion, if you ask me astonishing. Remember now,
- 19:30please please remember, these people were first hand eye witnesses of all of
- 19:37the power and the majesty of God. And they, in their unbelieaf make
- 19:49a calf with their own hands, fall down literally in worship of this calf,
- 20:00and attribute their deliverance their freedom to this object. That they made with
- 20:10their own hands. That's delusion. That's the power of delusion, ladies and
- 20:21gentlemen. No one knows the heart of a man like God does. And
- 20:26there is nothing that is hidden from God in any of our thoughts, in
- 20:33any of our motives, in any of the desires or the longings that are
- 20:40within us. Moses, this people is a stiff necked people. These people
- 20:48are set in their own ways with their hearts of rebellion. And it matters
- 20:52now not how many signs or wonders that I perform in the sight of these
- 21:00rebels. They are bent on the wickedness of their evil hearts. And by
- 21:10the way, again, if you know the outcome, every single one of
- 21:15them, over six hundred thousand of them, died in the wilderness, with
- 21:22the exception of two men in that generation, Joshua and Caleb. All of
- 21:29the rest of them died in the wilderness. And they died because they insisted
- 21:37on living in delusion. And even after this event, by the way,
- 21:44on that day, three thousand men died. Three thousand people died because of
- 21:48this even afterwards, over and over and over again, through a period of
- 21:59that forty year pilgrimage to the Promised Land, which by the way, it
- 22:06didn't take that long to get there. But because of their unbelief, God
- 22:10marched them around and around and around in circles in the wilderness and did not
- 22:18allow them to go into the land of Promise. He gave them over to
- 22:22their own delusions. It is a people, he said, who are stiff
- 22:33necked, rebellious, setting their own ways, and they have not known Me,
- 22:41even though they've seen it, even though they've witnessed it. They saw
- 22:45the signs, all of the miracles, they saw the fire of God,
- 22:52they saw the breath of God, they saw the pillar, the cloud,
- 22:57they saw itnessed it, and yet they refused to believe God. Please,
- 23:07I implore you, because it is absolutely imperative that the people of God understand
- 23:15that there is grave danger in the power of delusion, and it only comes
- 23:22about Listen. You can only be deceived if you depart from the truth,
- 23:27if you depart from the word of God, that's where trouble comes. That's
- 23:33what disillusion will come. And what has happened in this nation and what happened
- 23:41in this world amen just a few short years ago, it was so traumatic,
- 23:48it was so devastating, to so many people that the aftermath of this
- 23:52unprecedented delusion that came upon this world is still right now to this very moment,
- 24:02enslaving and tormenting people. The hearts of so many people were then and
- 24:11again to this very day overwhelmed by the spirit of fear that took them into
- 24:18captivity. Many people died a physical death because of the fear a man,
- 24:26men's heart failing them for fear a man, and many of those who escaped,
- 24:36some are still living years later in the prison fear fear has them in
- 24:47bondage. No God, fearing promises of God, believing child of God needed
- 24:57to fear the power of a man made virus and a man made pandemic above
- 25:08the But that is precisely what happened. Even in churches where you had so
- 25:22called Bible believing power of God preaching, ministers, elders, bishops, prophets,
- 25:37so called who ran and cowered in absolute fear and terror, not only
- 25:45of their own lives, but supposedly of the lives of the people. They
- 25:52had to protect the people. Listen, folks, when a man is the
- 26:06truth and God is a lie, you can rest assured that delusion is ruling
- 26:18the day. The Bible says, let God be true and every man a
- 26:23liar. But we, and I'm speaking corporately, we believe the lie of
- 26:34the devil, the lies from the pit of Hell, and it came in
- 26:41judgment upon us in the year of twenty twenty. And I'm here to tell
- 26:47you it is here to stay unless there is repentance and revival that begins and
- 27:00must begin at the Church of the Living God, where supposedly we have professing
- 27:06believers who wholeheartedly believe the lies that came out of the pit of Hell,
- 27:17while at the same time, by the way, running from the promises of
- 27:21God to seek shelter under the cover and the guidance of long demons who were
- 27:29instrumental, by the way, in crushing and killing off many churches that would
- 27:34never ever recover. By the way, I could, I could, I
- 27:41could, I could talk about that for and I did. By the way,
- 27:45this is nothing new for me those of you who were listening to radio
- 27:49broadcasts back in twenty twenty and even before that, but particularly in the year
- 27:56of twenty twenty when all of this was transpiring. Amen, this is not
- 28:00something new that I'm saying that I did not say, then, amen,
- 28:08But what God is what we need to understand. And again I don't have
- 28:14the time, and I'm not gonna take the time. Rather, I'm not
- 28:15gonna take the time here to probe into or delve into all of what God
- 28:25is doing in what I saw and perceived and spoke about at that time,
- 28:30a separation of the wheat from the chaff, from those who profess to know
- 28:37God and those who were the true believers. And I believe even now there's
- 28:42still a separation. Again, the Bible says judgment begins at the House of
- 28:47God. So strong, ladies and gentlemen, and so potent was this delusion,
- 28:56the power of this delusion that many people are still completely in the dark
- 29:02and oblivious to what happened to them. That is the power of delusion.
- 29:11They don't even know that it was a lie. They don't even know that
- 29:15it was man made. They don't even know that it was demonic, they
- 29:22don't even know that it was an attack on the church. That's the power
- 29:30of delusion. For the good news, ladies and gentlemen. Oh and by
- 29:36the way, by the way, I am not I am not, I
- 29:45am not h what's the word I want to use here. I'm not dismayed
- 29:53by what happened. I'm disappointed. I'm very disappointed by the way, in
- 30:00a whole lot by the way. I'm disappointed in leaders of churches, the
- 30:06leaders spokesmen who were elevated and on pedestals who could on the flock. And
- 30:26again I'm repeating a lot of what I my frustration and what I said back
- 30:33in twenty week. But the reason why I'm still talking about this, or
- 30:37have resumed talking about this what happened to us, is because we are still
- 30:45living very much so in a pandemic of lies. That's the power of delusion,
- 30:53and it's so strong and it's so potent that again, here we are
- 31:00almost four years later, and there are so many people who are still completely
- 31:08oblivious to the truth of what really happened. The good news, there's always
- 31:22good news, is that God always has a remnant. That's number one.
- 31:30He always has a remnant of true disciples, true disciples, true followers,
- 31:37true believers who will never capitulate to the spirit of fear and to the lies
- 31:47of the demonic, because they cleave to God. They cleave to God,
- 31:55they resist the devil. They believe the word of God. They believe the
- 32:00report of God. They stand on the promises of God. They pray,
- 32:05they trust, they obey. Amen, and guess what happens, ladies and
- 32:09gentlemen, the promise of God says, And they know this. When they
- 32:15cleave to God and resist the devil, what happens. What happens? He
- 32:17flees from them. God rebuts the adversary. Amen. God causes Amen,
- 32:31the enemy to flee from them. One of you got to make this promise
- 32:37to its people. By the way, one of you will chase one thousand,
- 32:42two of you will put ten thousand to flight. That's the first good
- 32:49news. The second good news, and there's a lot more, is that
- 32:53if you fail victim to the lies that came from the pit of hell,
- 33:00and the Lord spared you, spared your life and has not given you over
- 33:07to the power of delusion, to the spirit of fear, you can repent.
- 33:15You can be saved, you can be restored, you can be revived
- 33:22because of the grace and the mercy of God's forgiveness. It's available. And
- 33:30by the way, that's one of my prayers. That's one of my prayers.
- 33:34And I prayed again at the end of this in just a few minutes,
- 33:38that God will bring about the spirit of repentance in the church amongst his
- 33:50own people. This is what Jesus said, John chapter number ten. He
- 33:58says, my sheep, hear my voice and a stranger. They will not
- 34:05follow. They will not obey or hear the voice of a stranger. As
- 34:09a matter of fact, Jesus said, they will flee from him, the
- 34:15false prophet, the false teacher, the false messiah, who is seeking to
- 34:22lead men down that, as Jesus talked, blind leading a blind path of
- 34:30destruction into delusion. Because that's all it is. That's what the devil does.
- 34:37That's what he specializes in. Amen, And that's where we're living.
- 34:42By the way, again, this is why I'm harping on this. I'm
- 34:45taking the time to a man, expose a man the workings of the devil.
- 34:55I mean, that's how he operates. It's nothing new, by the
- 34:58way, this is nothing innovative or creative or a revelatory that I'm coming up
- 35:07with. This is how the devil is always operated. The Bible is clear
- 35:09about this, and if you read the Bible you can see this. I
- 35:12mean, he operates the same way. And why does he do it the
- 35:15same way? Because it works. It works. He appeals to the pride
- 35:21of man, the vanity of man, the fear Amen, and then he
- 35:27implants doubt and unbelief in the heart, and he takes the word of God
- 35:31and changes it, Amen, and attempts to change it into a lie.
- 35:39That's what the Bible speaks about in Roman chapter one. They change the truth
- 35:43of God into a lie. And what happens in the immediate aftermath of that
- 35:49is idolatry. Idolatry, that's what the Bible says. They worship and serve
- 35:55the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever and ever. Man
- 36:02worshiping man, four footed beasts, creeping things. This is what happened in
- 36:08Amen, the wilderness at the mount, when God was up there communing with
- 36:15Moses. Amen. The people went into delusion, and they went into idolatry.
- 36:25Why because they didn't believe the truth that they already witnessed with their own
- 36:30eyes Listen, and Jesus didn't come to a man prove himself to be the
- 36:39son of God simply by the miracles and signs and wonders. Because they were
- 36:44the occasions where they came to Jesus, show us a sign us, show
- 36:47us, show us something else, tell us. And even at the cross
- 36:51they say, if you are the Christ, come down, save yourself.
- 36:53Jesus have to do that, amen, Because it doesn't matter. Ladies and
- 36:58gentlemen, please understand, when you have a part hearted, stiff neck person,
- 37:02it doesn't matter how many miracles, signs wonders that they see. They
- 37:08still will not believe, They still will not obey, they still will not
- 37:15tremble. These people that came out of Egypt ten pledgues, ten plagues that
- 37:23they witnessed, that they saw, and then again the miracle at the Red
- 37:29Sea where they walked through on dry land, and as soon as they got
- 37:32across the waters, got brought back upon the armies of Pharaoh. And yet
- 37:40they went on into delusion made of God with their own hands, and said,
- 37:47this is the God that brought us out of Egypt. That's the power
- 37:55of delusion. By the way, I'm closing, as strong and as powerful
- 38:07as the delusion of the year of twenty twenty was and still is. By
- 38:12the way, there is yet one that God himself is going to send that
- 38:19no unbelieving person would be able to avoid or escape from. We've already talked
- 38:25about this second Thessalonians. God is going to send a strong delusion, and
- 38:32he's going to descend it to those who refuse to receive the love of the
- 38:38truth that they might be saved. If you insist on believing lies, rejecting
- 38:47the truth, God is going to let you have what you want wherever you
- 38:54are today, in your unbelief or in your belief of the truth of God.
- 39:04Please understand that we are living in a pandemic of lies that has ushered
- 39:10in this power of delusion that only the elect will be able to escape from.
- 39:22Everybody who rejects the truth of God will be brought under the power of
- 39:30delusion. Make no mistake about it. The Bible is clear about that if
- 39:37you don't receive the love of the truth that you might be saved, you
- 39:40are going to fall prey to the delusion that is already here. And again,
- 39:52judgment begins at the House of God, wrote Peter. Peter wrote this,
- 39:55And if the righteous, he says, by the way, if the
- 39:59righteous are scarcely saved, what will be the end of those who do not
- 40:05obey the truth of God? In their unrighteousness. Lord, you know what
- 40:14we need. You know where each and every one of us, heymen,
- 40:17where we are in our faith, in our trust, in our confidence.
- 40:24Lord, You know the plans and the schemes of the wicked one, the
- 40:29evil that is in our world today, the delusion, the power of it,
- 40:34the spirit of fear. But you have promised, Lord, that you
- 40:37will keep those in perfect peace whose mind has stayed on you. You promise
- 40:43to keep us from falling and to present us faultless before your presence with exceeding
- 40:46joy. And so Lord, we are looking to you, You who are
- 40:51the author, You are the finisher of our faith. You've begun this work
- 40:54in us, and you will perform it. Your sheep hear your voice a
- 41:00stranger, they will not follow you said. We are in the Father's hand
- 41:05and no one can pluck us out. Nothing can separate us from the love
- 41:09of God. So we thank you today, Lord, and we pray that
- 41:14somebody somewhere will hear your voice, Lord, and open their eyes, that
- 41:20their ears may be attuned to hear the spirit of God knocking at the door
- 41:24of their heart, and that they will open and you will come in and
- 41:29sup with them. And be in them, and be with them, and
- 41:32lead them and guide them into all truth. God, we pray today that
- 41:37you be glorified, your name, be magnified, your truth exalted in a
- 41:44world of delusion, in a pandemic of lies, so that your name,
- 41:51your kingdom, your majesty, your dominion, and power will be on display.
- 41:55In Jesus' name. We pray it, we believe it, we trust
- 41:59it, and your name. We pray, and we thank you in advance.
- 42:06Amen and Amen. M
