=== Laws Against Preaching (03:23) ===

[00:00:00]  What do you feel is going on in this country?
[00:00:04]  You know, if we would preach on Sodom and Gomorrah, for instance, that's against the law right now.
[00:00:11]  Did you know that?
[00:00:13]  If you teach that lesson of Sodom and Gomorrah, but they call it hate speech.
[00:00:18]  Yes, yeah.
[00:00:19]  In Iowa, a law was passed saying, basically, interpreting it, saying that if a pastor preaches a message and it makes someone who's a transgender feel uncomfortable, he is committing an illegal act, a crime.
[00:00:33]  So this is now being battled right now.
[00:00:36]  Another one that can go to the Supreme Court.
[00:00:38]  Who gets in, who becomes president now affects who will come in the Supreme Court.
[00:00:44]  And they would likely vote if it's the wrong candidate or the wrong justice.
[00:00:49]  They will vote saying that it is illegal for you to preach those things.
[00:00:53]  And you will have pastors in jail, which you have had in Europe and you have the shadows of it in Canada now.
[00:00:59]  So don't say, don't think that this can't happen.
[00:01:02]  We have that right now.
[00:01:03]  So there's a spirit of defiance, and there's a spirit in you, say that makes any cramps anybody style, anybody style except Christians.
[00:01:09]  They don't mind cramping Christians, you know, and that's it.
[00:01:12]  So I just have to kind of, and it's only happened while we're here.
[00:01:15]  Can I kind of put this together that here, if God was dealing with them in the Harbinger and they could have actually voted, would He not hold them accountable?
[00:01:24]  Because they had a part in this.
[00:01:27]  We have a part, you know?
[00:01:29]  And I think maybe because believers have been so on the defensive and so don't speak, don't say this.
[00:01:34]  We have all these, we have big ministries who don't will never talk about any of these things because they don't want to suffer the consequences of it.
[00:01:41]  And so people get used to not doing anything and we're on the defensive and it's just the darkness is coming in.
[00:01:46]  That's not biblical though.
[00:01:47]  The Bible never says that the light is ever defeated.
[00:01:50]  The light is never defeated.
[00:01:51]  The light always overcomes in some way.
[00:01:53]  And so the thing is that I think we've gotten into this thing and the problem is that if we don't, then we are actually allowing it.
[00:01:59]  It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
[00:02:01]  Then we're saying, okay, darkness, come in, come into our schools, come into our churches, come into our children, and we're responsible for that.
[00:02:09]  That's why we have to stand.
[00:02:10]  Some of the great orators and great ministers of this day, people that have been my friends, they literally are endorsing a democratic platform.
[00:02:22]  They're telling their people to do this.
[00:02:24]  And yet, when you see the platform, it's all against the gospel.
[00:02:32]  It's against the gospel.
[00:02:34]  To me, to me, and again, it's not about a person, it's not about, but it's about the issues.
[00:02:38]  To me, that's a sign of the apostasy is a sign of the end.
[00:02:43]  I'm not talking about the evidence.
[00:02:45]  Well, I, how, again, we talk, how can I push, pull a ballot, but how can I pull it, which is going to mean children are going to be killed because of my vote?
[00:02:55]  Because it will be.
[00:02:56]  Don't say it will be.
[00:02:58]  Even if it, no matter how many there are, one child's too much.
[00:03:00]  How can I pull a ballot that goes against, that goes for an abomination against my God?
[00:03:06]  How can I do it?
[00:03:07]  How can I pull it that's going to cause my children or your children or your grandchildren to be indoctrinated against God?
[00:03:14]  How can I do it?
[00:03:16]  I have no excuse for it.
[00:03:17]  I have no answer for it.
[00:03:18]  I don't see how you can do it and name Jesus Christ, Yeshua, Jesus, as the Messiah.
