Jim Bakker Show - The Jim Bakker Show with Micah Van Huss Aired: 2026-01-01 Duration: 28:19 === Welcome to PTL (12:06) === [00:00:01] Welcome to the Jim Baker Family Show. [00:00:04] Our special guest today is Micah Van Hus. [00:00:07] Our co-host today is Reverend Mondo de la Vega. [00:00:11] And now here is your host, Pastor Ricky Baker. [00:00:15] Hello, friends. [00:00:16] You're watching the PTL Television Network. [00:00:18] Today we have with us Micah Van Huss. [00:00:19] Mike, I want to say thank you for being on the broadcast with us today. [00:00:22] As the people got a small glimpse of earlier, right before the intro started, you served in the United States Marine Corps as a scout sniper. [00:00:29] You served in the legislator for the state of Tennessee as well. [00:00:33] And now what is it that you're up to? [00:00:35] So the Lord has blessed me with the opportunity to serve him in ministry, writing and studying about the mysteries of God's universe, God's creation. [00:00:44] And I got to be honest with you, Ricky, this is the best job I've ever had. [00:00:47] Come on. [00:00:48] It's better than the Marine Corps. [00:00:50] Better than the legislature. [00:00:51] Well, there's two Marine Corps. [00:00:53] You were in the Army. [00:00:54] So there's two Marine Corps. [00:00:54] There's the Marine Corps at peacetime and the Marine Corps at wartime. [00:00:57] So this is maybe the second best job I've ever had. [00:00:59] The second best right. [00:01:01] It's good to see you. [00:01:03] You've done a lot for our nation. [00:01:05] You have served in tremendous seats. [00:01:09] Yet the gospel is one of the seats that we have the responsibility to bring truth. [00:01:15] And this is what his books do, Ricky. [00:01:17] They bring truth to a chaotic moment in history right now. [00:01:22] We are part of history because so many topics are being debated upon. [00:01:28] And what you're going to be talking about today has been in the lines of not that you're writing about it, but what people are talking about, conspiracies and the truth. [00:01:38] Yet the Bible says that the truth will set you free. [00:01:41] That's right. [00:01:42] How has your experience in the United States military shaped the view that you have today in 2025 of maybe global conflict, conflict happening in the United States of America? [00:01:52] Kind of give us an overview. [00:01:53] So the military is something I recommend for every young man. [00:01:57] Mandatory service would be great. [00:01:58] It teaches you a lot. [00:01:59] You've been through it yourself. [00:02:01] And so we live in a world today. [00:02:03] I've been over to Iraq. [00:02:04] I've seen the poverty that the folks live in. [00:02:07] More importantly, I see the lack of Jesus Christ in their culture. [00:02:11] And it's really shaped the way I think about things. [00:02:14] And now that I have the opportunity to write in ministry about the mysteries of God's word, you know, it's really been an eye-opener. [00:02:21] And you started to talk about earlier about the seats that I've held, that we've all held. [00:02:25] God prepares us for what he has for our future. [00:02:28] When we're in the past, we may not understand why we're going through this trial or why this is happening, but God is putting you through the fire, molding you for what he has for your future. [00:02:37] So don't take it as too much of a challenge. [00:02:39] Take it as an opportunity to learn. [00:02:41] Amen. [00:02:41] It's always an opportunity to learn as well. [00:02:43] So I want to say thank you first off, like I said, for serving, but also for transitioning into a great seat, which is preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. [00:02:51] As we've read your books, and we're going to talk about a few of them today, the one that I'm excited to talk about is Secret Societies, Blood Never Sleeps. [00:02:58] We're going to be diving into this day. [00:03:00] Friends, you're not going to want to miss this, but you are preaching the truth. [00:03:02] And the truth, like Mondo said, will set people free. [00:03:06] We live in a world, and I'm just going to jump right into this course. [00:03:08] We live in a world where we see a lot of pastoral figures, spiritual leaders in the United States of America, weary to talk about the real issues. [00:03:16] We want user-friendly, very soft Christianity to come and let us comfort you and never convict you Christianity. [00:03:23] So why do you think that is? [00:03:25] So there's a lot of fear and teaching about the unknown. [00:03:29] Now, I'm not going to fault pastors. [00:03:31] I am not a pastor. [00:03:32] If people want to listen to me, they do. [00:03:33] If they don't, they'll turn off the channel. [00:03:35] So I don't have necessarily a flock like a pastor does. [00:03:38] So I'm not going to fault a pastor for not talking about angels or something weird they come across in scripture. [00:03:43] That's what I do. [00:03:44] That's what I love doing. [00:03:46] But I'm not going to fault a pastor for that. [00:03:47] Pastor of church, I'll fault him. [00:03:49] Yeah, yeah, so we're good. [00:03:50] We'll cover it. [00:03:51] Why haven't you been not kidding? [00:03:53] But if you skip the deeper stuff of scripture, I'm talking about angels mainly, giants, different things, you produce a faith that is shallow. [00:04:02] And a shallow faith, when it comes under contention, when it comes under evolution attacking your faith, different things that the world has to put forth, it produces a faith that's shallow. [00:04:11] So I recommend folks study the deep stuff. [00:04:13] And, of course, don't lose sight of the fact that Jesus Christ is the most important point of scripture and of history. [00:04:20] And so if you study the weird stuff and you don't know Jesus Christ, it's all for naught. [00:04:24] That's right. [00:04:25] You know, just like the military, the scripture is mysterious and very confusing at times. [00:04:31] And I think this is why a lot of people lose interest from Genesis to Revelation because there's some areas that get complicated. [00:04:38] How did you get past the complication of some portions of scripture? [00:04:43] For example, Genesis 6 is one of the weirdest chapters. [00:04:47] Yeah, it's one of the most intellectual moments in Bible history of mankind. [00:04:54] So it's a passion that God has given me is one answer. [00:04:57] Another one, it's important to study this stuff. [00:05:00] Jesus says, as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man. [00:05:04] And he also says it comes as a thief in the night, so be ready for it. [00:05:07] How can we be ready for Jesus' return if we don't know what it was like in the days of Noah? [00:05:11] There is a giant worldview, and it does tie a little bit into the secret societies, but there's a giant worldview all throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament. [00:05:18] And if you skip it, you're missing a big portion of what God has for you in scripture. [00:05:22] This is why we always go back, Ricky. [00:05:26] Biblical truth and biblical worldview is so critical because there's other worldviews from secret societies that are infiltrating the church, infiltrating the school system, infiltrating communities. [00:05:38] And we're just letting it go by. [00:05:41] And this is why we were talking before the program started the importance of being part of representing your community. [00:05:49] If God has called you to enter into politics, you better know that it's God calling you because the secret society that lies between the living and the dead, so to speak, is real. [00:06:01] And I think Donald Trump really realized it's not as easy as what his slogan was going to be, drain the swamp. [00:06:08] And as I hear you guys talking before the program, make sure God calls you to an arena to bring the truth out through scripture and look at it because the secret societies, Ricky, they're coming on strong. [00:06:21] Yeah, and we always want to make sure whatever you do, you're called to, because whatever the flesh births, the flesh must maintain, whatever the spirit births, the spirit will maintain. [00:06:29] And like I said, I don't know anyone strong enough to truly maintain what our flesh births out of us. [00:06:35] You know, as we see the desensitation of the next generation, we're going to talk about secret societies. [00:06:40] I believe this question is going to weave right into that. [00:06:44] Do we see the desensitation of the next generation? [00:06:47] We see young men and women being desensitized, what was first pornographic material. [00:06:52] Now we're seeing even to violence. [00:06:54] We watch videos online, and I'm not saying that you should watch videos, but children have access now on X and Instagram and TikTok and Twitter to mass shootings on their phone. [00:07:04] And they're watching them without being moved. [00:07:06] They're saying, oh, just another day around the world, another day in the United States. [00:07:10] How dangerous is that for society? [00:07:12] It's very dangerous. [00:07:12] And we live in a hard culture for Christians to grow up in, to be in. [00:07:17] If you think about all the thousands of years of Christians existing, we live with all kinds of sin at our fingertips. [00:07:23] We live in a difficult, that's not an excuse. [00:07:26] It's what God, the challenge God has placed in front of us to be a light in this dark environment with the internet with all the different things going on. [00:07:34] So parents need to be aware. [00:07:36] Ministries should have children's ministries. [00:07:39] If they don't have them, create them. [00:07:42] So support those children's ministries that preach the truth of God's word. [00:07:45] On a side note, for folks that don't know me, I base my worldview, as you started to talk about a little bit, on scripture. [00:07:52] The Bible is truth. [00:07:53] I study mythologies, I study ancient history, and I don't look at the Bible through those lenses. [00:07:57] I look at those histories and mythologies through the lens of the Bible. [00:08:00] So you need to have a solid worldview, the foundation of God's word, because it is truth. [00:08:05] The 66 books that we know are inspired. [00:08:08] There are plenty of other books that say all kinds of interesting things that may be true, but we know the 66 books are inspired. [00:08:13] So make sure you have your foundation. [00:08:15] Amen. [00:08:15] That's what it's about. [00:08:16] Make sure you have your foundation. [00:08:17] Friends, we're going to be jumping right into the secret societies. [00:08:20] want you to watch this book trailer and we're going to jump into some very, very interesting questions. [00:08:30] The knowledge of the watchers survived the great flood. [00:08:39] Found by Nimrod, he used it to build mighty Babylon and usher in the mystery of religion. [00:08:50] The bloodlines of Earth's secret societies work to usher in a final battle with the Creator. [00:09:01] I warn you against shedding blood, indulging in it, and making a habit of it. [00:09:07] For blood never sleeps. [00:09:11] He need not fear death. [00:09:13] No, he desires it. [00:09:15] For him to live is Christ, and to die is gain. [00:09:37] We have an affiliate program on it. [00:09:38] This is very exciting with Southwest Radio Ministries. [00:09:40] This is incredible. [00:09:41] And Micah Van Huss, you're one of their authors, right? [00:09:43] Yes, sir. [00:09:44] If you don't have the PTL TV app, I encourage you to go download the PTL TV app, whether it's on your iPhone, Android device, your Roku. [00:09:51] What else do we have, Mono? [00:09:53] Amazon Firestick and Apple TV. [00:09:55] Apple TV. [00:09:55] And then you can go, obviously, on the website, ptl.tv. [00:09:59] I want to say thank you to everyone who's bored with us through the transitional period. [00:10:02] We've had a great time with our old websites, but now we're kind of refreshing things up. [00:10:06] It's all getting better. [00:10:07] Everything is going to be living under the new URL, ptl.tv. [00:10:12] We'll put that up on the screen so you can kind of get a glimpse of what it's going to be. [00:10:15] And something new is being birthed, by the way. [00:10:17] That's right. [00:10:18] I call it the master classroom of biblical teachings and presentations that are exclusive just to the PTL network. [00:10:26] And you're going to be one of them. [00:10:28] And I can't wait to dive in on one of those because the teachings that are provided for this network specifically, you're going to go into giving us more insight on what you're teaching, the biblical truths behind the teachings. [00:10:41] And I'm excited about that because we get an opportunity to really learn. [00:10:45] I call it discipleship and learning through the word. [00:10:49] What does God have to say about the times and the seasons that we're in right now? [00:10:53] You got to spend a lot of time. [00:10:55] And you got to be honest, though. [00:10:57] A lot of people don't like reading their Bible. [00:10:59] It's very difficult for people to sit around. [00:11:02] Their phone is there and it's tempting to get in there. [00:11:04] But I'm telling you, this is why we're putting everything on phones because you can get used to watching and be a part of this. [00:11:11] How can people join? [00:11:13] Are we able to start talking about it? [00:11:14] Yeah, about it. [00:11:14] Yep. [00:11:14] So 2026, we're doing a new thing, friends. [00:11:16] If you're watching this, it's going to be called PTL Plus. [00:11:18] This is going to be an incredible subscription-based content, but EDU is what we're calling it. [00:11:23] PTL EDU is going to fall under that. [00:11:24] It's an educational series that people are going to. [00:11:27] We have some incredible people, men and women of God, who have committed to come and teach on that series. [00:11:32] So I think right now we're probably slotted for about 60 to 70 different teachers who are going to come and be a part of that educational series. [00:11:39] On it, what it is, it's their subject matter expert. [00:11:42] So let's say your subject you want to talk about, secret societies, that is exactly what you're going to be talking about. [00:11:46] And it's going to be a completely uncensored time for them to teach, friends. [00:11:50] They can come and they can say whatever it is that the Lord puts on their heart. === Secret Societies Unveiled (14:58) === [00:11:54] And I say whatever it is that the Lord puts on their heart very, very graciously. [00:11:57] Because, you know, sometimes we can get off the wall there. [00:11:59] So whatever the Lord puts on the heart, we're going to do that. [00:12:01] We're talking about your book today, though, Secret Societies. [00:12:04] This is an incredible book. [00:12:05] What role do secret societies play? [00:12:08] And I'm going to be honest with you, whenever we say secret societies, a vast majority of Americans, they can say, okay, where's Ricky's tinfoil hat? [00:12:14] Do they even exist? [00:12:15] So answer some of the basic questions. [00:12:17] Did they really exist? [00:12:18] Is this all myth to kind of control us with fear? [00:12:21] What is this? [00:12:22] So we don't have the time to unpack it all. [00:12:23] So we're going to hit the highlights without building up to the mysteries. [00:12:26] Obviously, there's a book on it. [00:12:27] I do a 45-minute presentation on this. [00:12:30] But the secret societies go hand in hand with Ephesians chapter 6, the principalities and powers of the air. [00:12:36] That is who is behind these secret societies. [00:12:39] So let me start at the beginning. [00:12:42] The supposed first secret society is before the flood of Noah, the serpent brotherhood. [00:12:47] But what these secret societies are rooted in is the knowledge of the watchers, the knowledge that the angels who rebelled in Genesis chapter 6 descended to the earth. [00:12:55] They did two things. [00:12:56] They taught forbidden knowledge and they had giant offspring with human women. [00:12:59] And that knowledge, we do find in scripture. [00:13:02] Revelation 21, 17, if you read that verse, it says that the angels taught the cubit, the ancient unit of measurement, from the tip of the finger to the elbow to the man measuring heaven in the vision in Revelation. [00:13:13] So the angels taught that forbidden knowledge. [00:13:15] You go back before the flood to Genesis chapter 4, we see the sons of Lamech. [00:13:19] One's an artificer of metals, one's an animal husbandman, and one is a player of instruments. [00:13:24] So we start to see this knowledge, advanced knowledge in humankind, even in scripture itself. [00:13:29] But this knowledge survived through the flood, and it was who became the Greek God Hermes, who found. [00:13:36] So according to over a dozen ancient writings, the sons of Lamech knew that God was going to destroy the earth. [00:13:43] They didn't know if it was with fire or water. [00:13:44] So they carved the knowledge of the watchers onto two pillars, one to survive each type. [00:13:49] Well, after the flood, Hermes, the Greek God, found the pillars and shared that knowledge with Nimrod. [00:13:55] And that enabled Nimrod to build mighty Babylon and expand his kingdom to the east. [00:14:00] Likely he also built the Tower of Babel, though scripture doesn't say that. [00:14:03] So this knowledge is what is passed through symbolism and allegory. [00:14:06] We get into the Freemasons and the secrets that they try to teach different things. [00:14:11] But the other message that the secret societies, the powers behind them, want to show you, it's called the Hermetic Philosophies and the Hermetic Religions. [00:14:18] Why? [00:14:19] Because it was Hermes who found this knowledge. [00:14:21] They all teach that you will become enlightened one day. [00:14:24] You will be reincarnated through karma. [00:14:26] Any type of you becoming a better version of yourself, eventually ascending into Godhood, theosophy, the New Age movement. [00:14:32] This is an old message. [00:14:33] This isn't new. [00:14:34] It was the serpent in the garden who said, if you eat the fruit, you will be like God. [00:14:39] So that is, we don't have the time to go into all the details, but that is the idea. [00:14:44] The secret societies are trying to teach you, you don't need God. [00:14:47] And that seems to be the message, since you said the book of Genesis and all the way to the book of Revelation. [00:14:53] That seems to be the number one message that the devil tries to input into each generation. [00:14:58] You mentioned something, and we get this a lot, and we get letters and emails and all types of things. [00:15:04] Last time we were on the broadcast, you had brought up Freemasonry. [00:15:07] And there's people, you know, we got letters that said, you know, well, I have an uncle or a brother who's in Freemasonry, and they're good people. [00:15:12] You know, they're out here serving hot dogs at kids' games and they're cleaning up the streets and things like that. [00:15:16] So is there a side of Freemasonry that maybe the entry-level people don't know about? [00:15:21] There is. [00:15:21] And you just hit on it right there at the end, the entry-level folks. [00:15:24] Whether you're talking about different churches, where you're talking about Freemasons, secret societies, it's the low-level initiates, even the employees who don't really know what's going on at the top necessarily. [00:15:35] Satan is the great deceiver, and he will bend the truth just slightly so that you think you're following the truth, but you're not. [00:15:42] Folks will say to me, well, I saw an orb of light or I saw a bright being and so God was telling me this or that. [00:15:47] Satan is an angel of light. [00:15:49] So, if you see a bright light, make sure that you're actually the right light or an angel of God and not Satan himself. [00:15:55] So, yes, this knowledge is prevalent. [00:15:59] You mentioned Freemasonry. [00:16:00] If you want to jump into that, yeah, please. [00:16:01] Yeah, because the last time you're on, we talked about it so briefly, and we actually got a few letters, a few emails talking about that. [00:16:06] You know, the same thing saying, well, you know, I have family members who are into this. [00:16:10] Is this something that's wrong? [00:16:11] So, I do have friends who are Freemasons. [00:16:13] I was asked during my time in politics to become a Freemason. [00:16:16] I politely refused. [00:16:17] But so, Freemasonry is fascinating. [00:16:19] And the fact that there were two versions of Freemasonry at the founding of our country, 1776. [00:16:24] You see that in George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. [00:16:27] They're the both separate sides. [00:16:28] So, what else happened in 1776 other than our independence? [00:16:32] The Illuminati was born in 1776 in Bavaria with the goal of fomenting revolutions throughout Europe and, by extent, the colonies of Europe. [00:16:40] And what do we see in the 19th century? [00:16:42] We see the age of revolutions. [00:16:45] So, Freemasonry had members everywhere. [00:16:48] And if you're a brand new organization called the Illuminati, how do you get members? [00:16:51] You infiltrate Freemason lodges. [00:16:53] So, that's what the Illuminati did. [00:16:54] The Illuminati officially didn't last very long, only about 15 years. [00:16:59] But as with any secret society, they just go underground and become more secretive just because their name doesn't exist anymore. [00:17:04] But at the founding of our country, you will see this schism in what I guess I would call godly Freemasonry, people who believed in the Bible and God, George Washington, his generals, and then Benjamin Franklin's side of Freemasonry. [00:17:17] So, you see that in the Declaration of Independence. [00:17:18] There are three different names for God showing the challenge. [00:17:22] Let's see. [00:17:24] I don't know if I want to go back into the old gods. [00:17:26] America was supposed to be Atlantis reborn, a place to bring back the old gods. [00:17:29] That was Sir Francis Bacon who wrote New Atlantis 150 years before the country's founding. [00:17:34] He wanted the new world to be the gods coming back from Atlantis. [00:17:37] Wow. [00:17:38] So you see the schism in Freemasonry at the founding of our country. [00:17:42] After George Washington died, if you go to the U.S. Capitol today and you look up under the ceiling at the rotunda, you will see a painting called the Apotheosis of Washington. [00:17:49] It is George Washington sitting among the Roman gods. [00:17:52] He is becoming a god. [00:17:53] Well, that was the Illuminati style of Freemasonry, sticking it to George Washington, saying he was one of us. [00:17:58] He was one of the illuminated Freemasons. [00:18:01] And so a fascinating side note on the Apotheosis of Washington. [00:18:04] There are 72 stars around the painting. [00:18:08] Anytime you see the number 72, whether it's in art or history, it's representing the gods of old. [00:18:15] This is Deuteronomy chapter 32, verse 8. [00:18:17] When God divides the world, he puts 70 to 72, depending on the Septuagint or the Masoretic. [00:18:22] He puts that number of angels in charge of the nations. [00:18:25] You have gods, they're angels, but there's only one powerful God. [00:18:28] But they're called the gods of old. [00:18:29] And so that's around the apotheosis. [00:18:31] On the back of the dollar bill, you'll see 72 bricks in the unfinished pyramid, again, representing the gods of the nations. [00:18:37] And so there was definitely a power that wanted America to be the New Atlantis. [00:18:42] I don't think they succeeded. [00:18:43] I don't think it's that way today. [00:18:45] But, you know, we continue to fight. [00:18:47] So the question is, then, should a Christian get involved in one of these secret societies? [00:18:51] I would say, as with any organization, we talked about a little bit earlier about the Crusaders coming back, the new Crusaders. [00:18:58] Be careful joining any organization. [00:19:00] Make sure that that organization does not focus on you becoming enlightened. [00:19:05] Make sure it's focused on God. [00:19:06] And so I would recommend that if you're going to ask if a Christian should join a secret society, there's all kinds of secret societies. [00:19:13] Most of them from my study are controlled by these princes, the powers of the air. [00:19:16] So know what you're getting into. [00:19:18] Hard pass on those. [00:19:19] Yeah, hard pass. [00:19:20] Yeah, so do it with wisdom. [00:19:22] I mean, you know, my son's in trail life. [00:19:25] Some people go to Boy Scouts. [00:19:26] You know, I mean, what organization do you get involved in? [00:19:28] Make sure that you know what's going on with the organizations you get involved in. [00:19:31] Mono, why do you think pastors are hesitant to talk about any of this type of stuff? [00:19:34] I mean, it's just, you know, not even people in a pastoral role, just believers in general. [00:19:39] Two things. [00:19:40] I think one is a mystery. [00:19:42] And mysteries are hard to understand if you don't have the knowledge. [00:19:45] That's one. [00:19:46] Number two, I think pastors are involved. [00:19:50] And I say that because I've had a lot of pastors throughout the years wanting me and even dad to join their Masonary groups in different chapters from North Carolina to Florida, even here in Missouri. [00:20:02] Yeah, North Arkansas as well. [00:20:03] And I'm talking about pastors that, you know, they're trustworthy pastors, pastors that are well-known. [00:20:09] Highly influential. [00:20:10] But at the same time, if your spirit has a check on it, man, you got to wake up to that. [00:20:16] But I think those are the two reasons. [00:20:18] One, the mystery behind it. [00:20:19] We don't have the knowledge to really understand it, therefore teach it. [00:20:23] Number two, they don't want to teach it because there's stigma that comes with it, right? [00:20:28] What do we do as Christians, sir, when it comes to, you know, the mysteries behind this? [00:20:35] Because like you said, Ricky, they do good work, but we know we're not saved by good works. [00:20:41] And at the same time, what do you do with good people involved in bad things? [00:20:46] You need to be studied. [00:20:48] And obviously this book, Secret Societies, I'm not trying to sit here and sell it, but I go through all the details. [00:20:52] Also in my YouTube channel, I talk about the Freemasonry and the secret societies. [00:20:57] There's one point I want to make about Freemasons and the fact that, as with a lot of secret societies, they want to push forward a Christian face while behind the scenes is actually something quite different. [00:21:07] And you go to ancient Freemason documents. [00:21:09] Now, they'll say they're created in the 17th century or so, but there's their founding documents. [00:21:14] The Regis manuscript from 1390 AD talks about Osiris living. [00:21:19] Now, Osiris, with not a lot of time, Osiris is who Nimrod becomes in Egyptian mythology, in my opinion. [00:21:25] And so Osiris was the first to undergo the process of mummification. [00:21:29] The Egyptian texts say that Osiris will resurrect. [00:21:32] The Bible talks about the beast that was, that is not, and will be again. [00:21:36] In Revelation, the Bible talks about the beast, the image of the beast coming to life. [00:21:40] That's right. [00:21:40] Freemasonry in their Regis manuscript, the secret teaching of all ages, the Masonic ladder, and one of Albert Pike's works, Morals and Dogma. [00:21:48] They talk about how they are looking forward to being reunited with Osiris in his resurrection. [00:21:54] So yes, you have Freemasons who are friends and they don't really necessarily know all this. [00:21:58] You need to study. [00:21:58] You need to understand what these founding Mason documents say about Osiris coming back to life. [00:22:04] Amen. [00:22:05] Oh, man. [00:22:06] Back to life. [00:22:07] This is why I think of groups like Antifa, Black Lives Matter. [00:22:13] They're chapters of a lot of the secret societies. [00:22:16] No one knows who's running them. [00:22:17] No one knows where they're coming from. [00:22:20] Yet they infiltrate our generations and they make an impact. [00:22:24] And you know what I think a lot of these things feed off of too? [00:22:26] You know, like we were talking about entry-level things. [00:22:28] I think a lot of it feeds off of the fact that the devil knows that we actually at our core desire brotherhood. [00:22:34] We actually at our core desire unity. [00:22:36] We desire being linked with one another. [00:22:39] And a lot of times you can't find that at your everyday church. [00:22:42] You'll go on Sunday, you'll maybe shake a few hands and then you'll see them again next Sunday and the next Sunday. [00:22:47] You do that 52 times a year, but you can't really develop those strong core relationships where you're together. [00:22:53] I think that's kind of one of the things that is being fed into these. [00:22:56] It's, oh, join a brotherhood. [00:22:58] Join a place where you can be understood, where you can talk to men who are like you in your same communities, things like that, you know? [00:23:05] So I think churches should actually stand up. [00:23:08] I think churches should start being more involved in our communities, going out and saying, you know what, let's go as our church, whatever you are. [00:23:13] If you're Baptist church, your charismatics church, whatever it is, go out and get more involved. [00:23:18] Make men's groups to say, you know what? [00:23:20] We're going to go out and serve our community together and we're going to do it fully focused on Jesus and nothing else. [00:23:25] We're going to go out and see how many people we can tell about the name of Jesus. [00:23:28] I think that would be a good alternative to something like this. [00:23:31] I know there's a lot of people who may be involved in these kind of things. [00:23:33] And if you're saying, well, I've been in these for many years and nothing bad has happened. [00:23:37] But like you said, take some time, pray about it. [00:23:39] See what the Lord reveals to you. [00:23:41] Because I promise you, the Lord's so faithful. [00:23:43] If you ask him, hey, Lord, am I supposed to be in this? [00:23:45] Give you the honest answer, the right answer, the just answer, the just answer, and the true answer. [00:23:50] Why? [00:23:50] Because he is our father and he wants what is best for us. [00:23:54] I want to say thank you for writing this because you touched the subject that a lot of not a lot of men would go to.

[00:24:24] The last few days, we had Pastor Jim here, and the one thing he kept repeating is: get ready, be ready, make sure that your heart is right with the Lord. [00:24:33] He believes, and like we all believe, that Jesus is coming back soon. [00:24:37] And there's a lot of things that are trying to steal your attention. [00:24:41] But make sure that your heart is right with God. [00:24:43] Repent, turn from your ways, ask for forgiveness, and confess with your mouth and believe with your heart that he is the Lord. [00:24:52] Lord means owner and possessor. [00:24:55] Can you imagine that when you declare that he's the owner and possessor of your heart and your life? [00:25:00] Things are about to turn around. [00:25:02] That's right. [00:25:02] Call us today. [00:25:03] Stand with us, 1-888-988-1588, or visit us at the website, jimbakershow.com and order this books today.

[00:25:17] Michael Van Huss, I want to say thank you for being on the broadcast with us today. [00:25:20] Thank you. [00:25:21] With just one minute left, what are some of the things you see coming in 2026? [00:25:26] So, we as Christians need to look forward to the return of Jesus Christ. [00:25:31] It could happen any day. [00:25:32] It could happen in a thousand years. [00:25:34] I feel like the time is coming. [00:25:35] But, you know, we're living in a dangerous time in our country, a dangerous time in the world. [00:25:40] And as technology continues to advance, we are seeing all kinds of tools that can help bring to pass some of the things prophesied in Revelation. [00:25:49] So we are truly living in prophetic and dangerous times. [00:25:53] So make sure your foundation is God, the word of God, and make sure that you know Jesus Christ as your personal savior. [00:25:59] Because while these entities in Ephesians, the princes of the powers of the air behind the secret societies, while they're powerful, there's none more powerful than Jesus Christ Himself. [00:26:06] That's right. [00:26:07] A firm foundation for you to set your feet upon. [00:26:10] Friends, call our number today if you want to pray that salvation prayer. [00:26:12] It's 1-888-988-1588. [00:26:15] We'll have a member of our pastoral staff get a hold of you and we'll help you find a good Bible-believing church in your area.
