Time Text
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, Karen.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Good evening everybody and welcome to FOJC Radio Friday Night Live.
We're live, live, live again on a Friday night and we're so very thankful for each and every one of you that is joining us from our broadcast tonight and a big shout out to Ellie from Lebanon.
John Pounders is going to be thrilled that we've got people showing up in our chat now from Lebanon and we were mentioning on our last broadcast about The great work that John and Twitch and his friend did over there in Lebanon where people, reports are coming that lives are being saved right now that would have been dead had not John and Twitch and his friend done that survival training.
So it's a great thing.
We praise God for it.
A big shout out to you, Ellie, and to any of other friends in Lebanon in the remnant church there.
that are listening this evening and I'm really thankful to be with you all this evening and I want to make a little bit of an announcement next Friday night We will not be broadcasting at the 6 p.m.
time slot, but I will be joining Dan Badandi at 8 p.m.
on Truth Radio Network on Dan's channel, and we'll be doing a special Feast of Trumpets one week from tonight on Dan's channel at 8 p.m.
Central.
So we're looking forward to that.
Yes, we are.
Now this evening, I want to talk to you a little bit out of my heart.
To address a little bit of the controversy that's swirling.
To just speak to you out of my heart a little bit.
I want to say we did take down the webpage that was causing some of the controversy, I guess.
Because I can see in some ways that it could be unfair and misleading.
But I want to try to clarify.
And it is regarding the three individuals that are left our ministry, being Jimmy Cooper and Brett Graham and Tracy Vinay.
And all three of these individuals, while they were worked with FOJC, they all profess to be in line with us doctrinally.
And all three of these individuals, since they have left, they all have acknowledged that they are not.
And that's their choice, and that's the choice of each and every one of you.
You can choose to believe what you want to believe.
Now, I will say that as far as I know, The level of difference doctrinally with Brett Graham does not rise to the level that it does with issues with Tracy and with Jimmy.
And I will say unfortunately that the issues there prevent us from recommending those ministries anymore.
And I will also say that I honestly don't have any animosity in my heart.
I'm very Inspired by what Charles Finney said, he said that the Lord enabled him to have kind thoughts, even toward those that oppose him.
And I guarantee it's not easy.
And there's not been, I want to say from, there have not been any kind of a personal vindictive attack at all from Jimmy or from Brett.
Now, I want to say also that There's a lot I could say.
I could get in and, oh, they said this, I'll say that, da-da-da-da-da-da-da, and could get down with it and so many things we could say, but I'm not going to do that.
For the simple reason that gossip and strife won't feed your soul.
The Word of God feeds your soul.
So that's what you're gonna get when you tune in to FOJC Radio.
You're going to get biblical preaching, biblical teaching.
You're going to get the topics of the day that we need to know about looked at in line of the word of God.
And I will say and emphasize that we have not changed, that these three individuals have changed to what they once said that they held to.
Now, the stand that we have taken in favor of the Sabbath, in favor of the feasts of God, in favor of observing the clean and unclean foods, against dispensationalism, against preterism, against dispensationalism, against preterism, There's nothing new about that.
We've been doing this for a long time and we will continue to do it.
And I try my very best to, and I'm sure I don't always totally succeed at this, But I try my very best never to personalize when I try to say often, I hate dispensationalism.
I don't hate dispensationalism.
There, I think I said that right.
No, let me say that again.
I'm going to get my tongue over my eye tooth tonight.
I don't hate dispensationalists.
I hate dispensationalism.
And I try my best to deal with the doctrine.
There are times when there are people that are in the spotlight like Joel Osteen and Copeland that I really feel I just need to call out because they are leading so many people astray.
I will say also one thing we've been flooded with questions about is that, you know, and it's swirling out there on social media, which is totally lost on me because I never, and I want to say too, I've never listened to any of Tracy or Jimmy's broadcast.
I don't have time, nor will I. But there's people out there on social media saying we're a 501c3.
And I would just say, lying isn't sanctified just because you're doing it on social media.
John Pounders put up a post about this.
And for 40 years, we have been a nonprofit organization in the state of Indiana.
And we were going to become a 501c3 because I didn't know that's what you do.
And it was back at a time when we were doing a lot of conferences.
And I did a conference with a fellow several times by the name of Gary Ka.
And Gary had a job here in the state of Indiana in the government, and he was in charge of all of the imports from foreign countries into Indiana and all of the Indiana coal and agriculture and what have you that was exported.
He had a pretty important government job.
And Gary went on to have quite a bit of notoriety.
He wrote En Route to Global Occupation, The One World Religion, and some pretty successful books that he wrote.
But anyway, it was Gary Cobb that told me that, you know, the 501c3 is a trap.
And it is.
And that's why, ever since, we have warned people about the 501c3.
And a lot of people, they think anyone that's a 501c3, you're just an evil devil.
Well, I tell you, a lot of people have just got into something they don't understand.
Like, we almost did, and we thank God that we didn't.
And there's language there in the 501c3 that the government isn't enforcing right now, but one day they will, and that trap is going to snap shut.
And that is why that we have and will continue to warn people about the 501c3.
I want to say also that whatever we choose to upload or take down here on FOJC is totally our discretion.
We provide an amazing amount of material on our Well, on our Rumble channel, and on our Doctrine of Christ channel, and on our Underground Church channel, an amazing amount of material.
And I think that the amount of material we put out is pretty amazing.
And of course, I would think so.
But it's our goal.
There's no plan B. We're going to be putting out biblical doctrine, biblical preaching.
That's what we've done, and that's what we're going to do.
There's no plan B. I guarantee you.
And I'll say also that we have chosen to keep up the videos of the Doctrine of Christ series we did with Jimmy.
And I'll say again, Jimmy has never been personally vindictive toward us in any way.
And the reason why we keep it up is because it's a great series.
It's a great series.
Jimmy did a great job.
And every episode of that I stand by 100%.
While now there are doctrinal issues that prevent us from working together, there was not, to my knowledge, at that time, and I stand behind every word in those episodes.
And I'm so thankful.
And now, on our new Doctrine of Christ channel, there's a new episode of the old series, uploading with new contributions all of the time.
And I will say, too, That back when we announced that we would not be doing any more Doctrine of Christ series with Jimmy, that our enemies thought they were dancing on our grave.
They were putting up posts and comments and saying, yeah, the Doctrine of Christ is done.
There won't be no more DLC. That's over.
And the Lord gave me a vision.
Without a vision, the people perished to start a YouTube channel totally dedicated to the doctrine of Christ.
And through the efforts of my good friend Brian Reese, who has just been a rock for us.
I mean, Brian has just been a rock for us.
And six months ago, Brian created the Underground Church channel, and the Lord has blessed it so amazingly.
In six months, it's gone over 39,000 subs with over a quarter of a million people tuning in to watch the new DLC channel.
That's phenomenal to me.
And a big thank you goes out to a couple other steadfast friends that have made big contributions, Jillian Stone and Dan Badandi, both of whom you're going to be seeing again frequently on the DOC and who knows where else.
Also, I want to say that Brian Reese is one of the smartest and most talented people on YouTube or anywhere else.
And the proof's in the pudding.
About a year ago, Brian took over all of our live streaming on our Rumble and on our underground church.
And since that time, literally, our ministry has tripled from 22,000 subs to 66. And over 2 million people Have tuned in since then to hear the gospel on the underground church.
And all glory to the Lord for that.
And credit where credit's due.
Brian has been a rock.
And the things that the Lord has accomplished through his efforts and others, it speaks for itself.
It speaks for itself.
And you remember that when you hear somebody denigrating and slandering Brian Reese.
I want to say also that in the past few days, the outpouring of letters and calls and support from friends has just been overwhelming and deeply touching.
And I just have to say thank you from the very, very bottom of my heart.
And I also want to say several things I want to get in and say here this evening.
I want to say also that since 2015 Which was the time that John Pounder's come into our life.
Our ministry has just been growing extremely rapidly and it is just the speed is escalating to this very day.
And I want to say that I have made a mistake.
Well, I've made more than one.
The Lord knows.
But I have made a mistake repeatedly in that time period and I repent and I apologize to our listeners for it that More than once, I have given people position in FOC, FOJC, and a platform to them that I never should have done.
And it's backfired.
And we are putting measures in place to make sure to guarantee that that does not happen again.
And I'll say also that right now, we are surrounded by Personally and spiritually with armor bearers and intercessors and true friends that are covering Donna and I personally and in the ministry.
And I am just so thankful.
A true friend is worth, you know, there's no price to a true friend.
And I know that we are blessed with having some of them.
So with that, I just wanted to kind of talk to you from my heart this evening because there's been so much controversy swelling.
But don't expect to tune in here to hear gossip on FOJC. You're not going to get it.
You're going to get sound doctrine.
And like I say, don't look for me to, oh, they said this.
What do you say?
None of that stuff.
I'm not going to play none of that stuff.
We're going to go on to fulfill that mission that the Lord has given us to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to teach the doctrine of Christ and the commandments of God to the whole world.
We serve a big God and I'm praying big and I'm asking big because I mean I want to reach not just a few but I want to reach thousands and hundreds of thousands and millions of people With the truth of God.
That is what I breathe for.
And I'm just so thankful to all of you that pray for us and support us.
We couldn't do it without you.
But rest assured, there's no plan B. Our mission has not changed, nor will it.
And we're going to continue to fulfill the call that God has put upon our life with the very best of our ability.
Now I'm going to do a little bit of mail call tonight.
I'm going to do a little bit of mail call.
And this week, and I'm going to read from a couple of letters.
And I want to read also, I've got a couple of questions we're going to take that I'm going to answer.
But on mail call this week, We heard from Pippa from Australia, Mary from Kansas City, Cindy from Texas, Omar from Kentucky, Terry from Arizona, Phil from Arizona, Diane from West Virginia, and I appreciated your book that you sent me, Diane.
I thank you very much.
I appreciate your heart and your spirit.
We heard from Eloise in California, from Gloria in Texas, Eric in South Carolina, and we heard from Peggy in Georgia.
And there's a couple excerpts here I want to read from a couple of these letters.
This is from Pippa in Australia and Pippa writes and about our friend Karen, who's in the other room with Donna.
She writes, Karen is a God-sent, refreshing friend with a fervent desire to learn the word and serve any way she can.
Karen's desire to serve means she will stop at nothing to share to everyone she meets to the best of her ability.
I'm trusting that she will share her experiences leading her to her baptism and after.
Karen packed up her new life in Tasmania, crossed the Indian Ocean, traveling 2,321 miles to be baptized.
That's commitment.
I met Karen face to face two days before and we fasted for 24 hours in prayer.
Karen can tell you the rest of the experience.
And I just want to say that she's in the other room now.
I've never met anyone like her.
She's truly amazing and she's truly a blessing.
So thank you, Pippa, for all your kind thoughts toward us and toward Karen.
Thank you so much.
I want to read a little bit also from another.
We met this lady.
I think Mary is from Kansas City, I hope.
I got that right.
I believe that she is.
But I just want to read a little bit here.
Mary writes, we stand for God's word and we desire to live our lives according to it.
Your ministry keeps us going when we feel alone and discouraged.
It helps to expose things in our lives that need taking care of.
Thank you so very much for being the Lord's mouthpiece over the airwaves.
We all need God's word.
Filling our ears and minds every day continually.
And thank you so very much for that, Mary.
And that's what it's all about.
That's what's going to change people's lives, build them up, and set them free.
It's the Word of God.
And that is what we are going to do here.
And I'm going to...
There's a couple more.
I'm going to take a couple questions here, and we're going to...
Let's see here.
I don't want to go too long, but yet I think we'll probably just go ahead here And get into our lesson, because this isn't taking real long.
But I want to deal with the question here.
This comes in from Jeff Smith.
And Jeff writes, I have seen some of your work on Now You See TV in the past, but only recently came across some FOJC radio videos.
While I was searching for information on a particular topic, I, like you, believe the Father's Law is unchanging.
And that in particular, incest always was and always will be an abomination.
I only recently had my eyes open to the possibility of Genesis chapter 1 and Genesis chapter 2 being two separate creation events.
This excited me as it could potentially solve a big problem.
I always had a problem believing that a Messiah could come from a lineage of incest.
Now his question is on Jubilees 4.11 and Jubilees 4.11 states that Seth incestuously married his sister Azura.
Now this is how we handle all non-canonical books.
We begin with the Word of God.
The Word of God that in Malachi 3.6 says, I am the Lord, I change not.
Hebrews 13 and 8. Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever.
God's truth is immutable.
One of the attributes of God is immutability.
So, we come to the Word of God.
We accept the 66 books of the canon as supreme.
Under that, We have in pecking order of authority, we have the books of the King James Apocrypha, and then we have the book of Enoch, which though not being scripture, are very profitable.
Down a little lower, we have the book of Jubilees and several other books.
And the Book of Jubilees has a lot of truth in it and a lot of insight, but it's not the Word of God.
So when we come to a verse in the Book of Jubilees that is in conflict with the canon, we do not take the Book of Jubilees and try to start a doctrine that the Messiah come from incest, but we realize that the Book of Jubilees, where it is in conflict with Scripture, it has to be rejected.
So that is the way that we do that, Jeff.
So we don't have to be afraid of the Book of Jubilees, but we always have to realize that wherever it comes into conflict with the Word of God, we always take the Word of God over.
The canon.
And I'm going to have right now, I think since I've went a little long here, we're going to go ahead and do our lesson.
And I think I'm going to have Brian come on and give the announcements now.
And I just want to say before Brian comes on that We, from the bottom of our heart, we appreciate each and every one of you that prays for us and studies with us and supports us with your gifts and with your kindness.
We do appreciate it from the bottom of our heart.
So I'm going to have an old one more thing I want to mention before we bring Brian on to another really amazing letter we got here from a lady by the name of Kim.
And Kim, we're going to try.
I hate to say we're going to get back with people because Donna's so busy too and she has some good days and bad days.
But we want to get back with you, Kim, and talk with you.
You've got an amazing testimony.
She was married for 42 years to an Emmy-winning Hollywood producer.
There are some things here that are amazing.
Kim writes, I've been following you for five years.
Found you online in 2020. I wish I would have known about you sooner.
But anyway, I'll not get into all the details of the personal things that she writes, but there's some amazing things that we would like to talk to you about, Kim.
So thank you so much.
And Brian, I'm going to have you come in and share announcements with people here at the beginning of the broadcast.
I'm going to get a drink of coffee and we're going to come back and we're going to have the Word of God this evening.
Bless you, David.
Thank you all for attending with us this afternoon, this evening, wherever you are on this earth.
I know different time zones, whatnot.
Got a couple special announcements.
Choose You This Day, a special events page on FOJC Radio.
If you get an opportunity to go check that out on the website.com.
I think Donna is in the chat.
Maybe she can facilitate the link.
Forgive me that I did not post it in the chat, but I think Ms. Donna might have already done that.
But check that out.
Don't forget the Midnight Ride, like always, at 11 p.m.
Eastern Time.
It will be the same time, like always, on Saturday.
You won't want to miss that.
And then Sunday Night Live, we'll have a Sunday Night Live program this Sunday night.
Same time, like always, 7 p.m. Central, 8 p.m. Eastern Time.
And like Brother David alluded to earlier about the DOC channel, with some of the old Jimmy programs that he did with Jimmy Cooper, we will be having a program on Season 1 on Monday night coming up this Monday.
So hit that notification bell, whatnot, because sometimes it doesn't pop up.
Where it's a newer channel, it kind of falls behind the cracks.
But like David brought to the program tonight, it has been a super, super blessing to us.
And we've had a lot of outpour and growth on that channel.
I'm going to be here.
Forgive me if I did, Miss Donna and David, but I think I've...
I think I've commented on...
Are you going to take a couple questions, Brother David, or are you going to take a few questions for tonight's lesson?
Well, I don't know.
We'll have to see, Brian, how long we go here.
We'll just have to see.
Sure.
I don't want to put everybody to sleep.
But yeah, thank you all for attending here, and I'll give the floor back to Brother David.
And thank you, David, for all the kind words, and I appreciate it so much.
I'll give the floor back to you and bless you all that's been out here tonight.
I know your time is valuable and we're very thankful for your time and coming on here with us tonight.
And welcome to Friday Night Live with David Karakos tonight.
So, David, get into the lesson.
Let's make it happen on the lesson tonight.
Let's get into the Word of God, everybody.
What do you say?
Colossians 1, verse 13. Translated out of the kingdom of darkness.
Colossians 1, verse 13. Who hath delivered us from...
The power of darkness.
That means the power of darkness has no more control over us.
Delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of his dear son.
I want to read a comment from the commentary by James Dunn on Colossians.
And Brother Dunn says this.
He says, There is nothing quite like this claim that believers in Christ Jesus have already been transferred into the kingdom right now.
Like a whole people transported from their traditional territory to settle in a new region now.
This isn't something that's going to happen someday, somewhere, somehow, but we have now been translated from the power of darkness into the kingdom of his dear son.
In Luke chapter 17 verse 21, Jesus said, The kingdom of God is within you.
The message of Jesus Christ is the kingdom of God is at hand.
It's at hand and it's at hand right now.
Each and every one of you listening to the sound of my voice, you can be translated by faith in Jesus Christ by the marvelous power of new birth You can be translated from the power of darkness into the kingdom of His dear Son right now.
Pray that prayer.
God be merciful to me, a sinner.
Place your faith in the death of Jesus Christ upon the cross for payment of your sin debt, and you will be passed.
From death unto life.
That word translate, it means, that word translated, it means in Thayer's lexicon to transpose, transfer, remove from one place to another.
You were over here, now you're over here.
You know, you go from one place to another, completely out of one realm into another realm.
In the old realm, you were under the power of darkness, but now you have been set free.
Now, we see here that we've got two different kingdoms at work, don't we?
I want to read from Another one of the Puritans that I love to read after, his name is John Howe, another one of the Puritans from the 1600s.
And Brother Howe said this, That there is a kingdom manifestly implied in these words, the power of darkness unto which the kingdom of God's dear Son is opposite.
Now over and over and over we have mentioned that and we have said that the best way to understand The kingdom of darkness is to look at the kingdom of God and understand that Satan is creating an absolute imitation of the kingdom of God.
He goes on to say that this kingdom can be no other than the devil's kingdom, whom our Lord himself doth own to have a kingdom.
I'll read a couple of scriptures here.
From the doctrine of Christ.
And no doubt, Satan has a kingdom.
Satan has a power.
And it's good for us to understand that our adversary is intelligent, that he has been alive and sentient for thousands and thousands of years.
He's had many, many years to learn much more than you ever could.
He's intelligent, he's powerful, and he has a kingdom.
Of fallen entities that are there to take your soul.
That's why, you know, but we need not get overwhelmed because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.
If we understand the authority that we have in Christ over the dark powers, we will have the victory in Jesus and need not fear.
Fear not, little flock.
In Matthew chapter 12, And verse 26, Jesus said, And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself.
How shall then his kingdom stand?
Jesus said that Satan indeed had a kingdom that had divisions and rankings in it.
In Matthew chapter 10 and verse 16, Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves.
Be ye therefore wise as serpents.
And harmless as doves.
And we do a lot of teaching.
We do a lot of teaching on the complexity of the fallen kingdom because targeted prayers bring results.
So many people, they know that there's God, there's the devil, and there's demons and fallen angels, but there is so much complexity there that is in the Word of God, and the study of that is of great profit because it enables us to pray targeted prayers whereby and the study of that is of great profit because it enables us to pray targeted prayers whereby we
John Howe the Puritan said this, that the distinguishing characters of these two opposite kingdoms, the kingdom of the devil and the kingdom of God's dear son, are darkness and light.
So well said.
So we've got the kingdom of darkness.
We have the kingdom of light.
When we're born again, we go from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light, just like that.
With being born again.
Now that came with Jesus Christ and the revelation of the kingdom.
And that's why over and over and over we say, whether you know it or not, that the doctrine of Christ is the most important thing in your life.
And Jesus puts it like this.
It's put like this in John chapter 3 and the 19th verse.
And it says here, John chapter 3 and verse 19. And this is the condemnation that light is come into the world and men love darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil.
And that's what will condemn people.
People are in the kingdom of darkness.
Jesus Christ, the light of the world, have been manifested and they don't want to come from the realm of darkness into the realm of light.
Why?
It's a very easy answer.
Because their deeds are evil.
They love sin.
They want to keep doing their dirty deeds.
They love their false doctrine.
They love all of those things of the evil one.
They love a religious veneer that will give them justification for pursuing sin in their mind, not reality.
But that is their condemnation.
I want to read that again.
The light of Jesus Christ has come.
Will you come to the light?
John 3, 19, And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light.
That his deeds may be manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Praise God.
Let's come to the light.
Just come to the light of Jesus.
Jesus, I believe you died on the cross for me.
I repent.
I believe in you.
Give me that new birth.
God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
And just come to Jesus.
We love that little acronym.
The cross, the doctrine, and the example of God, the C, the D, and the E, that everything we need is right there in the cross and in the doctrine and in the example of God.
The warfare is waged.
Between these two kingdoms and you're either in one kingdom or you're in the other.
You're in one of these two kingdoms and there's many people that are going through the church house every Sunday morning that you're in the kingdom of darkness and you're not in the kingdom of light.
I hate to say that, but it's the truth and somebody needs to say it.
Ephesians 6 and 12. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
There are rulers in the second heaven.
They are called the Cosmo Craters that are over the darkness in this world.
That's why in spiritual warfare, there's three levels.
There's the first heaven where we cast them out.
There's the second heaven where we look up and we see these heavenly luminaries, some of whom are called Cosmo Craters.
We bind and loose in the third heaven.
We come before the throne to enter into the heavenly council, to intercede with our Lord Jesus Christ, to speak the word to those heavenly powers that they would stand down.
Just like Michael of old did not wrestle and did not bring a railing accusation against Satan, but said, the Lord rebuke thee.
Praise God.
In the book of Acts, in the book of Acts, in the 26th chapter, Acts chapter 26 and verse 18, the scripture says here, to open their eyes.
To open their eyes and to turn them.
Now, these are two things that happen.
There has to be a realization.
And there are so many people, when their eyes open to the state of the world is, and they really realize the powers that are taking over this world and accentuating this darkness and debauchery, it's a paradigm experience.
And the same way, when we realize that we are sinners, That need a savior and our lost and fallen condition becomes real to us.
Our eyes need to open and then when our eyes are open, we can look around and we can see ourselves fallen under the power of darkness and we can come to Jesus Christ and he will translate us From that kingdom into the kingdom of His dear Son, the kingdom of God is within you.
The kingdom of God is those that have confessed Christ as Lord, according to Romans 10 and 9, that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth The Lord Jesus Christ, and shalt believe in thy heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
We confess him as Lord, and those, the kingdom of God means there's a king, and we are his servants.
We come as servants to King Jesus right now, and Jesus dwells in our heart, and he translates us from under the power of darkness.
He puts the Holy Spirit within us that gives us the abilities.
To defeat the powers of darkness in His authority.
To live a victorious life over whatever the devil throws at us.
To be able to set free from the power of darkness.
Praise God.
That's what my Savior Jesus can do for you.
And I'm thankful to be able to tell each and every one listening tonight just how great Jesus is.
Look at your neighbor and say, Jesus is great.
Because he surely is.
Jesus is great.
And you can come to him right now.
You can go to Jesus and you can actually commune with him.
Yes, you can.
You can actually go to Jesus and have a personal relationship with him.
Yes, you can.
That's right.
1 John 1 and verse 5.
This verse brings into direct contrast the difference between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan.
1 John 1, 5.
This then is the message which we have heard of him and declare unto you that God is light and in him is no darkness at all.
I remember back when our kids were home.
One summer we went on a vacation to a cave.
And we went back, and it was a teenage kid.
He's probably 15 years old, and he's rolling us back in a boat into this cave.
And we get back there, and we experience total darkness.
There's darkness, then there's total darkness.
We went back until there was absolutely no light coming into this place.
Total darkness.
And it is total darkness is something to experience.
And then that young man, he struck a match.
And it's unbelievable the way that cave lit up the ceiling and the walls from one match.
Now, that is a good illustration of the contrast between the Kingdom of Darkness.
The Kingdom of Darkness, it's all dark.
Now, there's some sugar plums and there's some boxes of candy and a lot of toys over in the Kingdom of Darkness, but it is darkness.
Everything Everything you get there will lead to your death and your destruction.
But then over here, there's the kingdom of light.
And in the kingdom of light, there's no darkness at all.
You see, and this is always what Satan wants to do, is the mingling, the mixture.
Now, you're over here.
Yeah, you've been translated into the kingdom of God.
But listen, you can bring a few things from the kingdom of darkness with you.
Yeah, you don't have to get rid of this.
You don't have to get rid of that.
Bring them on over into the light.
But it doesn't work because that's the way these two kingdoms are.
They are absolutely separate.
There is no possibility of mixing them.
You have total darkness on one side.
You have total light on the other.
The things that you obtain from the kingdom of darkness, they will all ruin you.
The things that you obtain from God will be nothing but a blessing unto you.
Now let's go to the book of James.
In the book of James chapter 1 and verse 17, James 1, verse 17, Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Once again, there's no variableness.
There's no changing in God.
He is, I am the Lord, I change not.
Malachi chapter 3 and verse 6. I want to read from another Puritan in his commentary on the book of James.
When I have scriptures on the book of James, my number one go-to man is Thomas Manton the Puritan.
The fourth volume of his complete works, which is about, I think, 22 volumes, is a commentary on the book of James, and I dearly love it.
And I will share with you Mr. Manton's commentary on verse 17. And he said this, We know the various motions and turning of the sun.
And yes, by the way, folks, the earth is still.
The sun is moving.
Yes, Brother Puritan, we'll throw that in for you for no extra charge.
There you go.
We know the various motions and turning of the sun by the difference of the shadows.
But the Father of spiritual lights is not like the Father or fountain of bodily.
With him is no shadow of turning.
That is, he is without any motion or change.
Any local accesses and recesses remaineth always the same.
When the sun is a marvelous creation of God, it shines and gives us light upon this good old flat earth.
But there's shadows, even from that powerful light of the sun, but from the light of the kingdom of God.
There's no shadows.
There's no shadows.
It's all pure light.
God is light, and in Him is no darkness whatsoever.
We come to Jesus Christ that is light, and by that, we will throw away all of the toys that we try to drag with us from the kingdom of darkness over into The kingdom of light.
In James chapter 1, let's read verses 22 and verse 23. But be ye doers of the word, not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
For if any be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is likened to a man beholding his natural face in a glass.
For he beholdeth himself and goeth his way And straightway forgetteth the manner of man he was.
We must not just be a hearer of the word, but a doer.
Now, I'm going to read you something that's going to shock some of our friends that this is in the New Testament.
Get ready to be shocked there.
Get ready to be shocked.
And get ready to be shocked, dispensationalist friends.
But we need to read this.
In Romans chapter 2 and verse 13...
For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Now, I have to point out again that this is the Apostle Paul, and I will point out again that this is the New Testament.
Let's read it again one more time with feeling.
Romans 2.13.
For not just the hearers of the law are just before God, But the doers of the law shall be justified.
And everybody said, praise God, amen, hallelujah.
Now in James, the first chapter, James chapter 1 and verse 8, it says this.
We have in the epistle of James, that great epistle from the Lord's half-brother, That with God, there is no shadow of turning.
There is no change whatsoever in God.
Nothing that comes down from God has any shadow of harm or defilement in it, unless you're having the judgment of God.
Every good and perfect gift.
Now, the Lord can put a little judgment on you.
We don't like to think about that, but yeah, that's right.
But we want to read James chapter 1 and verse 8, and we're going to go again to Brother Manton for his thoughts here.
A double-minded man is unstable in all of his ways.
And literally, in the Greek, that means too-souled.
Too-souled.
And it's almost like spiritual schizophrenia.
You know, schizophrenic people, bless their hearts, and also people with DID, With split personality, they can be different people at different times.
And this is a spiritual condition that can afflict many people.
It's called double-mindedness or being two-souled.
And this is what Brother Manton said.
None are so constant in the profession of any truth as they...
that are convinced and assured of the grounds of it.
I always say that the Bible isn't saying two different things.
The Bible is always saying one thing.
While many scriptures and especially prophetic scriptures Have multiple layers of truth to them that there's always one fundamental solid truth that comes out of the Word of God.
And we need to get to the truth.
And when you get to the truth, the way to understand everything is by looking at everything in the Old Testament and the New by the doctrine of Christ.
And once you find the truth, buy the truth and sell it not.
As the book of Proverbs says, and when you get a hold of the truth, stand with it.
It doesn't matter if you're persecuted.
If you're persecuted for standing where God stands, you might feel alone, you might feel persecuted, but blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness sake.
Get into the Word of God, get the truth, and then you stand for it.
Don't be double-minded.
Don't be double-minded.
It says, when we are but half convinced, We are usually unstable.
Study to show yourself approved unto God and realize that when you read the words of Jesus, you're reading the words of the creator of the universe.
In John 8, 51, my favorite scripture in the Bible, Jesus said, if a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
You can be wrong.
I can be wrong.
Jesus never will be.
And you cannot be wrong when you're believing and saying what Jesus said.
That's authority.
When they came against Jesus Christ, they said, this man's faith with authority, not as the scribes.
Well, yeah.
And that authority is passed down to us through the power of the Holy Ghost to put forth the message of God with the anointing of the Spirit to break the yoke off of people, to tell them that there is truth.
His name is Jesus.
He is the way, the truth, and the life.
He will translate you from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of His dear Son.
He is the breaker of the yoke.
He's the way maker.
He's the yoke breaker.
He is real tonight.
And he's ready to set free each and every one that will call upon him this evening.
None are so constant, back to Brother Manton, none are so constant in the profession of any truth as they that are convinced and assured of the grounds of it.
When we are but half convinced, we are usually unstable.
I remember the apostle speaking of a thing which he called our own steadfastness.
And I want to read that scripture in 2 Peter 3, verse 17. 2 Peter, the third chapter, and the 17th verse.
And the scripture says, Now let's have an instant replay here on FOJC Radio Church.
Let's just read that again.
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before...
Well, let's just back up.
I'm going to read verse 16 too because this is really good.
This applies a lot to the scripture of the way that people twist what Paul says.
They did it then.
They're doing it now.
But in verse 16 it says,"...as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, speaking of Paul, in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable rest as they do..." When
you're standing for Jesus Christ, and when you're standing where he is standing, you rest assured the devil will try to move you.
He will try to move you.
He will try to get you to compromise.
He will try to get you back into the kingdom of darkness under his power.
Do not be fooled by his tricks and his lies.
Back to the epistle of James.
In the epistle of James, the fourth chapter and the eighth verse, draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you.
And by the way, you can.
You can come boldly before the throne of grace.
You can draw near with the heart sprinkled.
With a clean conscience, you can...
Oh, but you made a mistake yesterday.
Well, 1 John 1, 9. You say, well, devil, you're right.
I have to agree with you.
But 1 John 1, 9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Draw an eye to God and he will draw an eye to you.
Cleanse your hand, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.
One of the big problems and causes of double-mindedness is an impure heart.
I want to read again from Brother Manton and his comment on this scripture.
And oh boy, this is a good one, as always.
I love this guy.
But he says here, Unclean persons can have no commerce with God.
Now, that's one to meditate on for a while.
Yes, it is.
And then ask yourself, well, what is uncleanness?
And you can say, well, am I going to define uncleanness by what the preacher tells me, or am I going to go to the Bible?
Am I going to actually read what the Bible says about it?
I'd recommend the latter there to you.
Yes, I would.
Now, he says something here I just love.
He says, the Israelites were to wash themselves when they heard the law.
Exodus 19. I'm going to read that for you in just a minute.
And David saith, Psalm 26 and 6, I will wash my hands in innocency, and so compass thine altar, O Lord.
He hath respect to the solemn washing which God had appointed for such as come to the altar.
Now, I want to read the scripture.
I love it.
Of course, I love them all.
They're all good, aren't they?
All scripture is inspired of God, from Genesis 1-1 to the final verse.
In the book of Revelation, it's all inspired and profitable for doctrine and proof, and you better not take away or add to any of it.
Yes, that's right.
Now, in Exodus chapter 19, I want to read the 14th verse here in the giving of God's holy law.
It says, And when Moses went down from the mount unto the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes.
Yeah, oh, we heard God's holy law.
Man, we better wash our clothes, because not only were dirtier clothes are dirty.
And of course, this is the...
The symbolic action of the spiritual washing, you know?
With God's law, I love it.
The more I study it, the more I realize it's great and wonderful.
Everything in God's law is there for our protection and our blessing.
And when we come to hear God's law, just like the Israelites there when it was first given, and they washed their clothes, we need to come and wash Our hearts and cleanse our minds, purify our minds and hearts.
We need to say, okay, Lord, give me your law.
I'll take it.
Whoop it on me.
You know, the old man might squeal.
The old man might squeal, but just say, praise God, give it to me and I'll take it because I know it's good.
It'll kill that old man.
It'll make him mad.
It'll rile him up.
But it's for our good.
It's for our good.
It's for our blessings.
So let's wash our hands in intimacy.
And let's let the Holy Spirit wash our minds and hearts.
And let's come and hear the law, just like those Israelites that wash their clothes.
And let's let the Lord lead us in to deeper and deeper places of fellowship and blessing with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Praise his holy name.
Hallelujah.
Matthew.
The 11th chapter, and we get criticized a lot.
Could you believe that?
Yeah, we do.
Matthew chapter 11, verse 7. And one of the things, we read the scripture...
About being wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove.
And we do a lot of teaching about the multiple, the complexity of the spiritual realm, the dark spiritual realm and the good spiritual realm.
And also we do a lot of teaching about the things of evil, where they come from, so people can see it and recognize and get set free.
And they are a lot of them, I guarantee you.
Now, here in Matthew chapter 11 and verse 7, And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see?
A reed shaken with the wind?
John the Baptist was a rock.
He stood against the scribes and Pharisees.
He said, The kingdom of God is at hand.
He said, Don't you think, you know, you think you have...
Abraham to your father, God could raise up of these stones, children to Abraham.
They were told them to repent, repent, repent, repent, repent.
This was the message that went forth from John the Baptist.
Jesus said of him that of those born of women, there was none greater than John the Baptist.
Yet he said, he that is in the kingdom of God is greater than he because now through Christ, we have access into the heavenly, something that even John Baptist Did not have.
But what did you think?
You think you got somebody out here that he's gonna bend, he's gonna shake, he's gonna compromise?
John Baptist was a rock.
He stood and he preached repentance.
He didn't stop.
He didn't bend.
He didn't swerve.
He wasn't a reed shaking in the wind.
He wasn't double-minded.
He stood and proclaimed the Messiah that was to come.
And when Jesus was manifested, he baptized him to fulfill all righteousness.
That is our Savior.
And that is our marvelous example of John the Baptist who was not a reed shaken in the wind.
Praise God!
I want to go to the book of Romans.
In the book of Romans, chapter 13, praise God!
Does anybody love the Lord out in the chat tonight?
If you do, give me a big praise God.
Hallelujah!
I feel the Spirit of God in the house tonight.
He's here to save.
He's here to set free.
And He's here to break the shackles off.
Hallelujah!
Romans chapter 13. Let's begin in verse 12. Romans 13 and 12. The night is far spent.
Amen it is, Paul.
The day is at hand.
Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness.
They need to be cast off.
The devil will trick you and he'll say, oh yeah, get this, get that, and you'll bring things from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light.
it's time to cast them off as the junk and the garbage they are because the night is far spent.
The night is far spent, the day at his hand, the kingdom of God's at hand.
Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness and let us put on the armor of light.
Praise God, the armor of light.
We told you truth was a person.
Well, let me tell you, light's a person too.
Jesus Christ, the light of the world, he is the armor of light.
And that's what we do.
We literally put on Jesus Christ.
And here in Romans 12, I'll read the next verse.
Let us walk honestly as in the day, not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
Strife and envy are things from the kingdom of darkness.
Don't let the devil trick you in bringing them over into the kingdom of light.
We put on the armor of light.
We put on Jesus Christ.
Let's look how the great apostle, and it wasn't just Paul writing it, it was Paul writing the epistle to the Colossians under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost in Colossians chapter 3 verses 9 and verses 10. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have Put off the old man with his deeds, praise God.
He's dead.
And leave the corpse in the kingdom of darkness, praise God.
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him.
Leave the old man in the kingdom of darkness.
Put on the new in the kingdom of light.
That's the armor of light.
That's putting on Jesus Christ.
Let's look at Ephesians 4. Ephesians the fourth chapter.
Ephesians chapter 4 and let's look at verses 22 through 25. That ye put off the former conversation.
Now there you go.
We could talk a lot about conversation and what should come out of our mouth and what shouldn't.
That ye put off concerning the former conversation, the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lust.
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind, praise God.
And that ye put on the new man, which after God...
Is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Wherefore, putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
Praise his holy name.
In Ephesians chapter 5 and verse 8, for ye were sometimes darkness.
Yeah, you used to be over there.
In the kingdom of darkness, the only thing over there now is that corpse of the old man.
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now, now, now are ye light in the Lord, walk as children of light, that have the armor of light, according to the book of Romans, which is Jesus Christ.
We put on Christ.
That's what we do.
And Galatians chapter 3 says, In Galatians chapter 3 and verse 27, And I want to say that this baptism that's being referred to here, it is the baptism into the body by the Holy Spirit.
I want to read you that verse, and I want us to think just a little bit about that.
There are people that are baptized I mean, you can get baptized, you can get some preacher to dunk you if you're not born again, and all that's going to do is get you wet.
But the baptism here that's being spoken of here, 1 Corinthians 12 and verse 13, for by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free, and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
So the Holy Ghost takes us.
He takes us, and as it put here, we're baptized into the body.
The body, we're over here in the darkness of light, and the body of Christ is over here in the kingdom.
That is the kingdom, Jesus Christ and his body.
So we're baptized into the kingdom of light, into the body of Christ by the power of Holy Spirit.
And the way Paul puts it, you've put on Christ.
You haven't put on some denomination.
You haven't put on this.
You haven't put on that.
You have put on Jesus Christ, the one that you have been baptized in you, the head of the church, the creator of the universe.
You are baptized into a person.
Following Jesus is following Jesus, obeying, teaching light in the Great Commission, Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.
In the fifth chapter of Matthew, from verse 17 on, Jesus said he did not come to do away with the law, but to fulfill it.
In 1 Corinthians chapter 10, Paul said that he is under the law of Christ.
The law of Christ encompasses all of the Old Testament law Fulfilled in him.
And of course, we have to tell people that, yeah, the animal sacrifices, they're done away.
Jesus is a priest after the order of Melchizedek, that Levitical priesthood, is gone.
Praise God!
That's good news for all of us.
We don't have to worry about sacrificing animals.
Now, let's go to Ephesians chapter 6. Praise God!
Ephesians, the 6th chapter, And I want to read verse 12. Excuse me.
I think I want to read verse 14. And you all know the verse.
It's here in this great section.
on spiritual warfare in the book of Ephesians chapter 6 and verse 14 it puts it like this stand therefore stand don't fall stand stand therefore having your loins girt about with truth we stand With truth as a belt.
That is our spiritual warfare.
And the minute you compromise the truth of God, guess what?
What happens when you take your belt off?
Your britches are liable to fall down.
You're liable to get exposed.
And this is the way it'll be spiritually.
You'll get exposed.
The belt of truth.
Truth as a person.
Light as a person.
We stand in spiritual warfare and the armor of light with the belt of truth.
We put on Christ.
It's Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
Following him, you can never be wrong.
You will never die if you follow Jesus Christ with the armor of light, the belt of truth.
And I want to turn and I want to read that scripture for everyone this evening.
I have Referred to it a couple times.
This is my favorite scripture in the Word of God.
It's what I stake my soul upon.
I will live with this verse and I will die with it.
John chapter 8 and verse 51. Verily, verily, I say unto you...
If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
So maybe I'd better correct myself.
I will die.
I will die in this old body, but my soul and the spirit will never die.
It will go into the presence of God, and I will wait there until the Lord Jesus Christ gets on his horse, comes back, brings me with him on my horse, We will ride and we will come for that great resurrection day.
Our bodies will be resurrected and our spirits will be rejoined with it.
And we're all gonna go, woo!
That's right.
That's gonna be a woo-woo-woo moment.
We're gonna blast off.
And that's if I die before the Lord returns.
And even at my old age, I believe that I might even live unto the time of the coming of the Lord.
That excites my heart.
That excites my heart.
That should excite all the hearts of the saints of God this evening.
I want to read something from William Gurnall.
This book is called The Christian in Complete Armor.
And I tell people, I need to make a list one time on how to build your library.
I'll say, well, number one, you get your King James Bible.
Number two, you get your Strong's Concordance.
Number three, you get your Webster's 1828. Number four, I'd get me a copy of the Apocrypha and the Book of Enoch.
And coming in real close for number five would be this book here.
It is one of the most valuable books.
That we can have outside of the Word of God.
It was written by another Puritan in the 1600s.
I love them guys.
And it's called The Christian in Complete Armor by William Gurnall.
This book here is, let me see, over 600 pages long.
And it's written just on those verses on spiritual warfare in Ephesians 6. So I tell you what, you can open it up to anywhere and it's going to feed your soul.
There's no fluff in it.
Now, I want to read what Brother Granal wrote.
This is on page 293 of the Banner of Truth Edition.
And he said this.
He said, Woo!
Let's just let that sink in for a minute.
Since Satan comes as a serpent in the person of false teachers and by them labors to put a cheat on us, Satan sends false teachers because believing false doctrine will cheat you and rob you of the blessings of God.
To defend us against this design, it is necessary that we be girt with truth in our understanding, that we have an established judgment in the truths of Christ.
Now let me read that again.
We've got to have another instant replay here.
He said that we have an established judgment in the truths of Christ.
Now, I've said many times that I found the doctrine of Christ Now, let's just give you a little example of that.
Let's read from page 295. And Brother Gernal, he says this, It is point blank against Saint John who tells us but of one doctrine and that the doctrine of Christ and that he that holds not this is to be marked out for a lost man.
Then he quotes that scripture that it seems like I'm about the only one I hear it from, but 2 John 9, Brother Grinnell quotes,"...whoso transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God." I say we can sign this guy up.
That's what I say.
Let's just sign him up.
He was teaching the doctrine of Christ clear and unmistakingly.
He goes on to say,"...because imposters are so subtle.
It is therefore behooves the Christian to establish and strengthen his judgment in the truths of Christ.
Hallelujah!
The doctrine of Christ is the most important thing in your life.
As long as I have breath, I will preach it.
I will preach it and tell people of the great blessings that are in the kingdom of light.
And if it's not all light, We're not going to tolerate any mixture, any darkness.
We're going to go for the blessings that come down from the Father of lights with no shadow of unturning, of turning whatsoever.
Praise God.
In 2 Peter, I want to read 2 Peter chapter 2. 2 Peter 2, and I want to read the third verse.
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words, words of pride and words of vanity, and through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you.
You are going to be their merchandise.
You will be exploited.
You will be used.
You will be taken advantage of, not only physically with money going from your pocket to theirs, but spiritually, through the spiritual blessings you will be robbed of if you imbibe The false doctrine.
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you, whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
In 2 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians chapter 2, 2 Corinthians chapter 2, And let's look at verse 17. For we are not as many which corrupt the word of God, but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.
We speak in Christ.
We speak what Christ spoke.
We tell people, if you believe what he said, you'll never die, praise God.
And that word, they're corrupt.
That is the word that was used of a wine cellar that would take the wine and dilute it with water.
They're giving you some truth, but yeah, there's a little bit of water.
It's a little bit diluted.
It's corrupted.
So you're going to get a little truth, but you're going to get a few things from the kingdom of darkness with it.
That's right.
What that word rest, we saw the word w-r-e-s-t earlier from a text in Peter, and what that word means is to twist, is to twist.
Charles Spurgeon said that if you torture a text long enough, you can make it say anything.
We're not of those that are going to twist the Word of God to try to bring it in with whatever doctrine we're going to sell you.
We're not of those that are going to dilute it.
We're going to tell you, sit before Sit before the law of God.
Let it hit you and say, Lord, part on me.
Lord, part on me.
Let the old man squeal and let the blessings of God and the freedom come forth.
You will never regret it.
I guarantee you.
In Galatians chapter 3, Galatians, the third chapter, and the first verse.
O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you?
That word bewitched, that means bewitched.
That means to come under the power of Of witchcraft that is operating through false teachers.
O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Paul preached Christ so strong and so clear.
It was like the picture was painted before their eyes, but witchcraft come along, and they turned from the Savior unto these bewitching.
False teachers.
In 2 Timothy chapter 3. 2 Timothy chapter 3. And I want to read verses 8 and 9. 2 Timothy 3, verse 8 and 9. I want
to read one more thing here from William Gurnall.
This is on page 296. And Brother Gurnall said this, Now children are very creditless.
Prone to believe everyone that gives them a parcel of fair words.
Now, isn't that the truth?
Let's read it again.
Now, children are very credulous, prone to believe everyone that gives them a parcel of fair words.
They think anything is good, if it be sweet.
It is not hard to make them eat poison for sugar.
How true!
And we are to come as little children.
And I want to read that scripture in Matthew, the 18th chapter.
And I just want to say welcome, welcome to all of our new listeners tonight.
Welcome to our old listeners, our new listeners, the many friends I see in the chat tonight.
God bless you.
And I want to read Matthew 18. Matthew chapter 18. And we'll read this.
At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
And Jesus called a little child unto him and set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven in a permanent way.
Now, here's how we are.
When we're born again, and he was speaking to the disciples here that had faith in him.
If you don't become like a little child, that means we don't become as a little child just believing anything and anybody, but we come as a little child to the words of Jesus, and we believe them, and we trust them just like a little child believes their mother and their father.
And then we go from there And in the light of that childlike faith in Christ, we take all the Word of God, and we fall in love with it, and we fall in love with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Do you love him tonight?
I know that you do.
And I'm so thankful for each and every one of you joining us for this broadcast this evening.
And I want to say that...
Well, Brian, come back on here.
Help me close this thing out.
Come on, Brother Brian.
I'm here, David.
I'm here.
Thank you all for attending with us this evening here on Friday Night Live.
What an honor it is to be part of this.
Sorry, my throat's getting a little dry.
I don't have anything left in my cup with water there, so I'm getting my throat a little dry.
I will bring this up real quick.
After this program and after Brother David concludes here, the Dan Bedoni Show is going to be on Spiritual Warfare Friday, so it's always a treat.
It's going to be at 9 p.m.
Eastern time, so I do know that's coming up here in about 30 minutes, so give him a big shout-out and shout-out.
Hit the like button, share it out with Brother Dan there.
He would really appreciate it if you all would go over there and check out his content he's going to be providing tonight on Spiritual Warfare Friday.
But to get back to today's message, David, I didn't think he was going to do it tonight.
I didn't think he was going to do the program.
I thought this was a really good program.
It was very fitting.
And what an honor it is to hear it.
And I'm just truly blessed by it, David.
And thank you for all the kind words.
I said that before, but thank you for the kind words you said at the beginning of the program.
And what an honor it is to be here.
So I'll give the floor back to you.
I would say some more, but I'm just going to stay quiet.
I think just staying quiet about it.
And I don't have any more else to say.
But peaceful and just joyful, and that's kind of where I want to be in life.
So thank you for this message tonight, Brother David.
And I want to say that those small compliments I paid to you tonight are so well deserved.
And I appreciate you so much, and all of the FOJC radio listeners, they appreciate you also.
And literally thousands, hundreds of thousands, and it's amazing, but into the millions of people are being blessed from your efforts.
And we're so thankful, and that's what we want to do.
We want to preach the gospel to the whole world.
We have a friend here.
We have people in the chat from Australia, from Lebanon, and hard telling where else from.
I can't even tell.
And we have a friend from Australia in the front room.
So how good is that?
How good is that?
Let me tell you.
I see Brother Dan there in the chat.
We love you, Brother Dan.
Everybody get over and watch Spiritual Warfare Friday and subscribe to Dan's channel.

Remember the Choose You This Day program.
Go to our website.
Go to our special events page if you want to stand for The Feasts of God and God's Sabbath and stand against the pagan holidays, go there, fill out that form, and in the last day of the great Feast of Tabernacles, we're going to have a roll call, and we're going to come together and realize that there are many, many out there that are not going to bow the knee to Baal.
So with that, don't get me going again, or we could just get going for another hour.
But with that, Until next Friday night on the Dan Badondi Show.
