Time Text
Welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Thursday, August 8th, 2024.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me wherever you are, anywhere in the world, all across this amazing planet.
You are welcomed here, whether you're Japanese or Taiwanese or Middle Eastern or European or South American.
welcome here.
We've got a lot to cover today, of course, and we have an amazing interview for you with Pastor Steve Ciccolanti from Discover Church, and he has recently relocated to Florida.
So he's in the USA now, and of course, Mother Nature just dumped a big storm over him there Well, he was spared from most of it, but it does make it interesting when you move to Florida and then, oh, welcome to the storms!
We've got some interesting breaking news items for you here.
Also about, well, the assaults on freedom of speech.
We've got an update on Scott Ritter, whose house was just raided or searched by the FBI with a search warrant.
And he's posted a video explaining what he believes is going on.
We've got some video footage of police in the UK arresting people for daring to post things on social media that criticize illegal immigrants sweeping across Europe.
That's right.
In the UK, you go to jail.
If you post something the government doesn't like, and then we've also got a video of the new VP candidate, Tim Walls, claiming that you have no First Amendment rights in America if you are spewing misinformation.
So he thinks that the First Amendment doesn't apply to anything that the government deems to be misinformation.
Like, you know, the vaccine doesn't work or the masks don't work.
Well, he says you have no such rights whatsoever.
And Walls is also being exposed for stolen valor.
Turns out he's made all kinds of claims about serving or being deployed as an active duty soldier that just aren't true.
So I'm wondering how long 10 walls is going to last.
And like I said on day one, the walls are closing in.
So we've got a lot to cover here today.
Oh, and then finally, there's a sermon at the end of today's broadcast as we're doing each day now.
And as you may recall, I promised 100 sermons in 100 days, and these are designed to educate, inform, and inspire you, and it's tying nutrition and superfoods and herbs to Bible Scripture and making it applicable to our modern-day circumstances.
I think you'll find it to be Really the most intriguing look at scripture that you've probably ever heard, at least in terms of foods, nutrition, and what that has to do with God's messages for us or lessons.
And today we're going to be covering, well, Matthew 24.
Why not?
Let's just jump right in.
Dive in the deep end.
Let's cover Matthew 24.
End times prophecies urge us to remain prepared and vigilant at all times.
And just for the record, I don't claim that Matthew 24, that everything in that chapter is about the year 2024 or 2025.
I'm not a person who says that everything I read in the Bible is happening now.
I mean...
Perhaps some of it might be happening now or soon, but also I think the deeper lesson in the Bible is that history repeats itself.
And the lessons that we are taught in Matthew 24, those are the same lessons, even if they already happened over 2,000 years ago, those are the same lessons that we have to learn from yet again as nations rise and fall and the church is being persecuted and You know, there are earthquakes and giant space rocks falling out of the sky.
This happens on a regular basis, it turns out.
Anyway, it's a great day to cover Matthew 24 because in my interview with Pastor Steve Ciccolanti, we talk a little bit about prophecy and Matthew 24.
So I think you're really going to love today's show.
I have a request, by the way.
Are any of you out there expert experts?
Jewelers or goldsmiths?
Because for the first time in my life, I mean, I'm not someone who is into jewelry.
But for the first time in my life, I am wanting to get a solid gold Christian cross necklace.
And, of course, I'm willing to pay for it or trade for it, you know, store credit or whatever.
But I'm looking for a really well-done quality custom piece that's at least maybe 18 karat gold, you know, for durability.
I don't want gold-plated silver.
I want something.
I want a really unique piece of art.
And I'm just wondering if somebody out there knows somebody who is an artisan in the area of gold and faith-based jewelry.
because if you are, not only would I like to purchase a fine gold cross from you, then I would also, if I'm happy with it, I would gladly add your company to rangerdeals.com at no charge and just list your company there and help bring you additional I would gladly add your company to rangerdeals.com at no charge and just list your company there So if you know anybody like that, please email us at situationupdate at protonmail.com.
That's proton, P-R-O-T-O-N, as in fire the proton torpedoes.
No, I guess those were photon torpedoes.
Sorry.
Protons as in, like, protons, electrons, and neutrons, okay?
The atomic physics.
Protonmail.com.
So, again, situationupdate at protonmail.com.
And put in the subject line, gold cross...
If you've got something available.
Thank you so much for that.
Now, before we get to all the breaking news, remember that old TV series back in the...
Was it the 1960s?
Yeah, I think it was the 1960s.
Maybe early 70s.
Remember the series called Lost in Space?
And there was a robot that had arms that looked like dryer vents.
You know, the dryer vent tubes.
And it would say, Danger, Will Robinson!
Danger!
It was like, was it called Robbie the Robot or something?
Anyway, that was called Lost in Space.
We are now living through a real-life Lost in Space scenario because of Boeing.
And did you know that there are astronauts trapped in space right now because of Boeing's Starliner spacecraft that just, it's all broken stuff.
And so Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, these are astronauts, They have been stuck on the International Space Station for two months already because, well, again, Boeing's products don't work.
And now it looks like SpaceX, you know, the Elon Musk company, is going to have to bail out Boeing and they're going to launch a mission to rescue these astronauts who are lost in space.
Danger Will Robinson.
And check this out.
This contingency plan would be launched in September, and then the crew would not be able to come home until apparently January, February, excuse me, of 2025.
February of 2025.
In other words, after the Civil War is already over and.
No.
After Trump is sworn in again.
So, gosh, these astronauts are going to miss all the Democrat left-wing sabotage.
Maybe being stuck in space or lost in space could be the safest place to be during that time.
Who knows?
But they're going to return to Earth in February of 2025 where they will have their first shower in six months.
Okay.
Imagine that.
And it's funny because the names of these astronauts even tells a story.
You know, SUNY Williams.
Well, it's not SUNY enough, is it?
It's going to take a long time.
And Butch Wilmore.
It's like, will more spacecraft be sent our way to rescue us or not?
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Apparently, according to the UK Daily Mail, thruster failures...
That's also known as bad twerking.
Thruster failures and helium leaks on the Boeing Starliner prompted NASA and Boeing to keep the two astronauts in orbit for longer over fears that a trip back on the Starliner could end in disaster.
So it's kind of like, well, we've got two options for you there.
You can either stay lost in space or Or you can get on the Boeing Starliner and probably die in re-entry.
So the astronauts are like, we'll just stay here on the International Space Station for a while longer.
That's cool.
We'll just stick around here.
We don't need no gravity.
And then they quote this professor of astronautics, right?
That's actually a That's a field.
That's the proper name for the field.
Astronautics.
Not aeronautics, but astronautics at the University of Southern California named Mike Gruntman.
Yeah.
Quote, it is unfortunate that Boeing's Starliner, after so much delay with its flight, continues to face problems.
For decades, Boeing was one of the most admired aerospace and defense companies.
It is a true national tragedy.
Right.
So, of course, Boeing has, you know, construction crew.
That sell street trucks to each other on break while they're working on the commercial jets that the wheels fall off of, you know?
Parts fall off.
Hmm.
Boeing was paid $4.2 billion in taxpayer money to build the Starliner spacecraft that was designed to ferry astronauts back and forth from the ISS. The problem is it's not working.
And so it's like a one-way ticket, literally, lost in space.
So by the way, what this really means is that here we have a company, Boeing, that went woke.
And now, well, it puts people into positions of management and engineering who are just not qualified.
But they're woke.
They check off all the correct checkboxes.
You have to be woke enough to be in this position.
Oh, um...
Can you do any actual engineering of rocket thrusters?
Oh, no, no, no.
We're just woke.
Oh, well, you're qualified to work at Boeing.
No problem.
We don't need no rocket thrusters.
What are you going to do?
Just tell astronauts, jump!
Gravity will do the rest.
Does this give you any confidence in flying on Boeing passenger jets, by the way?
You ever look out the window when you're flying in one of those and you're sitting near the wing?
You look out the window and you're like, that wing's moving a lot.
Look at the vertical motion of that wing.
It's like it's flapping.
You're just cruising along.
The wings are like, wonka, wonka, wonka.
I wonder how much metal fatigue is allowed before that whole thing just comes off.
Turns out that Boeing jets cannot fly with one wing, although they can fly with one engine.
So if you had to pick what falls off first, it would be the engine.
And, of course, as the engine is plummeting toward Earth, you might want to look up, too, because there might be two astronauts following it down.
Bailing out of the ISS. No, I don't mean to make light of it.
Well, I guess I do mock Boeing's ineptitude.
I'm not mocking the astronauts.
It's not their fault.
They're just stuck recycling their own pee.
I'm sorry, it must be a difficult thing to be stuck in orbit with essentially no effective gravity, right?
Because you're weightless because you're in a perpetual orbit around the Earth, so you have no gravity.
Or technically, you feel no G-forces, right?
So you're just weightless all the time.
Which means that your bone mass is all just deteriorating every single day, and your skull is becoming more spherical.
So do you realize that by the time these astronauts get back to Earth, they will hardly be able to walk, and their heads will be like balloons?
No, I'm serious.
It's going to take a while.
For gravity to reassert itself, for their bone density to get back on track, these people are going to waste away in space.
Again, I'm not criticizing them.
It's not their fault.
They're seemingly taking this in stride.
What else can you do?
Hey, we're in space.
Come get us.
Or maybe they actually sabotaged the Boeing Starliner and just told each other, You know, it's election season.
Let's just stay in space until this election is over.
And you can't blame them.
All right, let's move on to some other news.
Let's talk about the election.
Tim Walls.
And I still hear people pronouncing his last name as Waltz.
But I've looked again and again, and there's no T in there.
And I'm wondering if this is one of those things where people say, you know, safety deposit box.
But if you look at the way the words are written, there's no T in there.
It's not the word safety.
I've talked about this before.
It's the word safe.
Safe deposit box.
So Tim Walz is being described as Tim Waltz.
Like the dance.
Well, anyway, a new video has surfaced from 2007 where Tim Walls was talking to C-SPAN and he lied about his military service.
He said he spent 24 years in the National Guard.
He was an artilleryman, he said, and he deployed with Operation Enduring Freedom.
And he says that his battalion provided base security throughout the European theater from Turkey to England in the early stages of the war in Afghanistan.
And he says then that battalion is now in Iraq.
The problem is he didn't actually serve in active deployment.
Well, in other words, he didn't serve in combat, okay?
And the people who actually served with him know that he left them to run for political office.
But let's hear him say this lie himself.
This is a newly surfaced video from Tim Walls, 2007, lying about his military record.
Check this out.
What's your background and how did somebody from Nebraska end up in Minnesota?
Yeah, well, my wife's from Minnesota, so she took me there.
Actually, it was based on the educational system in Minnesota was one that we kind of aspired to teach in, so I ended up in southern Minnesota.
My wife's been there for many generations.
And your military background?
I spent 24 years in the National Guard, some of that full-time.
I was an artilleryman.
I deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
My battalion provided base security throughout the European theater from Turkey to England in the early stages of the war in Afghanistan.
And that same battalion is now in Iraq at this time.
So you may notice he's dicing and splicing words there.
The battalion that he was in was deployed, but he wasn't in the battalion when that deployment happened because he left.
So you could technically say, he says, my battalion provided base security for Yeah, not like politicians to lie ever, is it?
Hmm.
All right, now we're going to fast forward to the issue of Scott Ritter.
Now, Scott Ritter's house and vehicles were, you could say, raided, but really searched by the FBI earlier yesterday.
And they apparently, according to Scott Ritter, I'll play a video here from Scott, apparently they are accusing him of violating FARA, F-A-R-A, And FARA stands for Foreign Agents Registration Act.
There it is.
F-A-R-A. All right.
So apparently, if you engage in domestic lobbying or advocacy on behalf of a foreign government, you have to register with the DOJ. And then you have to disclose your relationship with the foreign principal and And you have to disclose the activities and financial compensation, and then you have to have public disclosures of the relationship and so on.
I don't think anybody does this when they're working for Israel, though.
I think the government never enforces FARA for AIPAC or Israeli lobbyists in America.
So this is selectively enforced.
And they're accusing Scott Ritter of violating this FARA registration requirement.
So that's why they raided his place, according to Scott Ritter.
And he says he's completely innocent, that he's not paid by foreign entities or agents to influence public opinion in America or anything like that.
So let's go to the video of Scott Ritter and let's hear him say it in his own words.
Check out this video.
Hello.
As everybody's probably figured out by now, the FBI has executed a search warrant on my home.
The search warrant was based upon what they deemed to be probable cause that I am in violation of the Foreign Agent Registrations Act.
And they executed a search warrant looking for electronic devices, my computers, my cell phone, things of that nature.
Based upon their questions, it appears that they are primarily concerned about my relationship with RT and Sputnik.
More specifically, that I am receiving direction from RT and Sputnik, and I'm being compensated for this.
And that means that I am working on behalf of...
I let them know in no uncertain terms that that is absolutely not what's happening, that any compensation I get from RT and Sputnik is the same as I get from any journalistic entity that I provide articles or video products for.
I am a journalist and I get compensated for my work.
We shall see where it goes.
They were in my house for five and a half hours.
Very professional, very courteous.
I have no problems with the people who executed the search warrant.
I do have a problem with the search warrant itself.
Let's just be very clear.
No crime has been committed.
I am not a foreign agent.
I am not in violation of the Foreign Agent Registration Act, and they know this.
This was an act of intimidation by the U.S. government designed to have a chilling effect.
I was accused that my articles were designed to manipulate the opinion of the American people on behalf of the Russian government.
That my podcasts do the same thing.
Ask the inspectors, apparently a Russian propaganda tool designed to, again, manipulate the thinking of the American people.
This is absurd in the extreme.
This raid on my home was designed to have a chilling effect to make me think twice about speaking out, about writing, about doing podcasts.
And as I told the FBI, and I'll tell you now, there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that I'll back down because I'm doing nothing wrong.
I'm doing what every concerned American should be doing when they believe that their government is behaving in a manner that doesn't conform with the values and principles that are set forth by the Founding Fathers and the Constitution of the United States of America.
I am an American citizen holding my government accountable and exercising the rights given to me by the Constitution.
Today the United States government declared war on me.
They declared war on my ability to write, my ability to speak, my ability to interact with the American people and indeed with a broader international audience.
So be it.
We're at war.
It's not a war I plan on losing, and I can tell you that there is no chilling effect.
I look forward to seeing me in the future as soon as I get the ability to interact more efficiently.
But thank everybody for their concern, and I'll see you Friday night on Ask the Inspector.
All right, so what you can see there, Scott Ritter says he's innocent, that he has not been paid to influence opinion in America.
But he does say that he is paid customary article fees by, I think he was saying, RT and Sputnik.
I've seen his articles on both publications before.
But he's compensated something for those articles, but he says that's just customary for being a journalist.
And he says that he's going to fight this, whatever this is, and he says the FBI is only acting out of intimidation to try to have a chilling effect, to try to silence people who are critical of the U.S. State Department or the Biden administration or the military, etc.
Now, in case you're not familiar with Scott Ritter, he is a former UN weapons inspector.
He has been very, very vocal for the last several years, especially since the special military operation that was launched against Ukraine.
You know, that was February of 2022.
And Ritter has been extremely critical of Ukraine and has argued repeatedly that Russia is winning, which does seem to be obvious at this point, and that Russia has superior weapons and technology.
which also seems to be obvious.
But Ritter has visited Russia, and he has been...
I think he had a book tour in Russia, actually.
And he toured a lot of Russian cities with his book, and I guess his publisher organized that.
And he met with a lot of Russian people, maybe Russian military people.
I don't think they told him anything that was super, super secret.
You know, they were just...
I think Scott Ritter in Russia is kind of a curiosity, actually.
I think the Russians are just curious about, here's this American, this former Marine, who is more on the side of Russia right now than Ukraine.
And I think that's just very interesting to Russian people.
Now, for disclosure, I know I've interviewed Ritter, I think, twice.
Over the last, what is it, two or three years, whatever the case may be.
I know I interviewed him once when I was hosting Infowars, and I think...
Maybe I interviewed him separate from that.
Nevertheless, a lot of what Scott Ritter says resonates with a lot of people.
You know, his analysis definitely rings true in many ways.
But of course, he's a controversial figure and he is very much hated by his critics who repeatedly point out that Scott Ritter has a history of, well, I think he had to register as a, like a sex offender of some kind.
I think he had, I don't know all the details, but it was many, many years ago and whatever it was, it had already been, you know, he'd already served his time or whatever the case may be.
But many years ago, I think he was involved in some kind of sting involving underage children.
I don't know the details of it.
I'm just pointing this out because this has resurfaced with the FBI, you know, raiding and searching Scott Ritter's home.
So that is something that apparently was part of the reason why the U.S. State Department took his passport a few months back.
Remember when he was about to fly to Russia?
And also I think Judge Napolitano was about to depart for the airport to get on a plane to fly to Russia.
And remember on that day, it was reported that the government took his passport.
Well, apparently, it seems, at least this is my understanding, that there was some kind of designation that you have to have on a passport if you are a convicted sex offender of some kind, regardless of what the charges were or the outcome.
There's some kind of designation.
I don't know what it is, but apparently, somehow that was left off his passport.
And then the State Department decided that they were going to fix that problem on the day that he was on an airplane to fly to Russia.
So they pulled him off the flight and they made sure that he could not visit Russia as a result in order to correct basically a typo in his passport.
Okay?
So that smacks of intimidation, you could say, that why did they do it on that day to try to interfere with his flight?
But I'm not claiming that Scott Ritter is some angel, by the way, obviously.
Again, I don't fully understand the nature of his crimes in the past or what he was convicted of or what he admitted to doing or what he says he did not do.
I don't know.
That was so many years ago that actually I think very few people were even aware of that until recently if they followed Scott Ritter.
Nevertheless, regardless of whatever happened in the past with his legal woes, Scott Ritter's words do resonate with a lot of people today, and he expresses a lot of frustration and discontent with the United States government.
So probably for that reason alone and the fact that he does so many interviews and he's on with Judge Napolitano, he's on with NEMA, Dialogue Works I think is the channel name there, and he writes for RT and like I said, Sputnik and I don't know, whoever else.
He is a very vocal person and he's got quite a lot of reach.
Now, all of that said, Given the political nature of things today, I think it is incredibly foolish to accept money from anybody.
If you're an American, don't accept money from any Russia company.
Especially given the situation that we're in right now.
Don't be paid by Sputnik or RT. If you want to write for them, do it.
Volunteer.
Don't have a commercial exchange.
In the same way, let's say if you were a writer, Or if you were an engineer or whatever, you wouldn't want to do work as an engineer for, let's say right now, the country of Iran, right?
You wouldn't want to be hired by the Iranian government.
Not that they would hire you if you were an American anyway, but maybe you have some special skill set, like you know how to write code in a certain area in a certain way, and they need you for whatever reason.
Is it wise to enter a business relationship contract with the government of Iran or an Iranian, you know, big IT company?
And the answer is no.
The answer is no.
Same thing.
You wouldn't want to have a contract with, like, North Korea, you know?
And you wouldn't want to have a contract right now with a Russian company or a Russian publisher.
Why?
Because you know you're going to be targeted.
You know it.
And if you ever...
There's a book out there called, I think, Three Felonies a Day.
Because there's so many laws in the West that the average person apparently commits, unknowingly, three felonies every day.
We have this just overzealous lawfare society.
And almost no matter what you do, even if you're not a bad person, even if you have no ill will, even if you're trying to abide by the laws...
If somebody wants to get you, they could probably drum up three felonies a day.
Some unknown felonies that nobody's ever been prosecuted for, you know, other than Scott Ritter, let's say, or whoever they're going after, or Alex Jones, for that matter, right?
So they can drum up crimes.
But what I'm saying is, don't make it easier for the government to come after you by doing business with States or proxy companies that represent states which are essentially considered enemies by the US State Department.
That's all I'm saying.
If you want to do business with Canada, you know, no problem, or the UK or whatever.
Just be cautious if you're trying to do business with, well, any of those other countries I mentioned, including Iran right now.
I mean, who knows?
Maybe you have a company that makes magic markers, right?
And then you get an order from Iran.
And you're like, should we ship magic markers to, you know, Iran?
I mean, they're permanent markers.
Could those be weaponized, you know?
And maybe you decide, ah, no problem.
There's nothing they can do with permanent markers.
So you ship permanent markers to Iran.
And then you find out that Iran uses your permanent markers to write messages against the Zionists on their missiles.
And then they thank you publicly in a TikTok video or a Telegram video thanking your company for providing the markers that they use to write in their Farsi language all these, like, hateful, anti-Jewish, you know, anti-Israel messages.
And then all of a sudden you're like, oh, my God, they use my markers on their weapons, you know.
And then you get a phone call from the State Department.
Sanction time, right?
You violated whatever.
You committed 12 felonies because they used your marker 12 times.
So just be cautious is all I'm saying.
I mean, for all I know, I mean, I sell vitamin C, right?
And who knows, maybe somebody in the, what is it, the Iranian Republican Guard Corps, is it the IRGC? Maybe they're buying vitamin C, you know?
And somehow they get some of our vitamin C, and then they film a video like, we are using vitamin C! To empower soldiers before we launch to the evil Zionists or whatever.
I'm sorry.
I can't do the accent.
I give up.
But you understand what I'm saying?
We live in such crazy times.
You can sell like washcloths and they would find a way to make it a felony, you know?
I'm just glad that Iran's rockets are not powered by vitamin C. Otherwise, we would be on like the export sanctions list or something.
Thank God it's only for nutrition, not rockets.
Now, continuing with this theme that there's all kinds of things that you're not allowed to do and not allowed to say, like Scott Ritter's not allowed to say that the U.S. State Department sucks and that Russia is doing a better job at war or whatever.
Well, let's go over to the U.K. Well, now in the U.K., they have police that will...
They'll use a sawzall tool to saw open your front door, bust it in, and arrest you for posting something on social media that they say is mean.
So if they disagree with what you said on social media, check out what they do.
This is amazing footage.
I got a comment about this, but watch this footage.
This is freaking mind-blowing.
This is the UK. Well, we have so many questions about that video.
It's like, number one, if you're just going to break in the door, why did you saw it into thirds?
I mean, why did you just use the door buster by itself?
You didn't need the saws, but if you're going to saw a door open, you notice they saw it right through the glass, too.
It's like, seriously?
What...
Is this some kind of terror group from the UK police and they just saw your doors off?
When they walk inside, they just saw off the banister on your stairway.
They just go to your dining room table, saw that, and they're like, we're not going to eat here!
They just take all your chairs and saw their legs off and try shitting now!
It's just like, it's almost like it's comedy.
I mean, it's a violation of rights, of course, but it's police comedy.
You know, this is some kind of weird clown show.
This is, it says in the video, Manchester police.
I'm surprised they're even allowed to say the word man in the name of their city.
They probably have to call it like Wokechester next or like, you know, libtard Chester or whatever, or Womanchester or No Manchester police.
It's like, armed with a sawzall and five-amp-hour batteries.
That looked like a Makita tool there, by the way.
And then they bust in, you know, like...
And like, what's the charge, officer?
You posted mean tweets, you know?
You posted a meme.
You disagreed with...
What's their prime minister's name?
What is it?
He looks like a Muppet, by the way.
I was asking, like, which Muppet he resembles.
Keith, is it Stormer?
Stormer?
Storm?
Stormbringer?
He looks like a Muppet.
Okay.
And he says that they are cracking down on these right-wing people that are protesting in the streets.
Oh, yes.
But are they cracking down on the violent illegals who are stabbing little children to death?
Oh, no, no, no, no, because that would be hateful.
Instead, they run around town breaking down the doors of British citizens who are fed up with all this nonsense.
So...
I've come to the conclusion that the UK is done.
It's done.
The UK is in a state of collapse.
It's a nation that has just been handed over to the disease of wokeism.
And now there's like a festering cancer of conformity to the woke agenda.
There's a complete unwillingness to defend their borders or defend their culture or defend their own people.
Now, the government of the UK is a terrorist organization that is unleashed and weaponized against their own people while standing back and doing nothing about the invaders that are occupying the UK, taking it over and replacing British citizens.
So this is the end.
I mean, you're watching it unfold right here, right now.
And if you say anything against it, they will saw your door in half.
Imagine that.
I'm just wondering why some British citizen doesn't paint, like, blood on the outside of the door.
You're speaking of the Bible and the blood of Passover, right?
Well, I put the bloody blood of the goat on the door already?
You're supposed to pass over?
It's Passover blood?
You're not supposed to be breaking in.
What do you think you're doing?
It's just like...
But, of course, none of the police in the UK are familiar with Bible scripture or anything related to faith or God because they're working for the devil, obviously, at this point.
They're like, what are they going to do next?
I wouldn't be surprised if the British police just set fire to the homes of people who post mean tweets.
They just...
They're just like, break your window and throw a firebomb in your living room.
It's like, you're being prosecuted!
You know?
And they're like, no more mean tweets from the likes of you!
Firebombing the citizens, yeah.
In the name of tolerance, that's what the UK police are all about.
Hey, I'm surprised that one cop was strong enough to use a Sawzall upside down vertically.
That's kind of impressive, actually, because I think most of these UK cops are softies and soy boys.
I'm amazed they could wield a Sawzall.
Now, speaking of governments who despise free speech, check out what Tim Walls says, again, the VP candidate with Kamala Harris.
He says that you have no right to free speech if the government thinks that what you're saying is wrong.
You know, if they disagree with you, you have no First Amendment rights.
Wow, that couldn't possibly be abused.
So basically, what Tim Walls wants to do in America is what the British are doing right now in the UK. Just break down your door if you post a mean tweet.
But listen to Walls say it himself.
I think we need to push back on this.
There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.
Wow, you hear what he said?
There's no guarantee of free speech on misinformation?
Really?
I didn't see any such restriction in the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution.
It says that the government shall make no law abridging.
Freedom of speech or the right of religious expression or freedom of the press, etc.
I mean, I'm paraphrasing, but that's close to what it says.
But Tim Walz doesn't agree with that.
Basically, if he becomes the VP, he will say that whatever he says, whatever he believes, those are the things that you're allowed to say.
Everything else, the government can...
Shut you down, raid your home, jail you, right?
They can prosecute you for saying things that the government says consist of misinformation.
Well, the government lies to you all the time.
The government lied about COVID. The government lied about the origins of COVID. The government lied about the effectiveness of vaccines.
Remember when Joe Biden said, if you take the vaccine, if you take it, you can't get infected.
And then he took 10 jabs and got infected, got sick three times, and everybody else did too who took the jabs and then millions died and everything else.
I mean, the government lied again and again and again.
They lie about everything.
They lie about inflation.
They lie about the economy.
They just constantly lie.
But then they want to claim that you can't say anything that they consider to be misinformation.
Well, that's nonsense.
Wouldn't it be great if the government wasn't allowed to state misinformation?
Well, gosh, they would have nothing to say because, again, all they do is spout lies.
So this is highly disturbing that Tim Walz has no knowledge of the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights, even though he's the governor of Minnesota, apparently.
And he swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, which means that in saying this and in pushing this, isn't he in violation of his oath of office?
Doesn't that mean that he should be impeached and removed from office immediately for betraying his oath?
Right?
I mean, common sense here.
So just remember what the UK is doing to its own citizens right now is what Tim Walz and Kamala Harris want to do to you in America.
Now then, following that, Joe Biden said that if Trump wins the election, there will not be a peaceful transfer of power.
No, you're going to hear him say it.
And then he says the opposite right after that, because...
He's never really sure what he's saying.
But very clearly, at first, he says that there will not be a peaceful transfer of power if Trump wins.
Now, remember that a few days ago, Jamie Raskin, a congressman, said that if Trump wins, that Democrats will create, quote, civil war conditions on January 6th of 2025 because they're going to invoke the 14th Amendment, Section 3, I mean, that is...
That's an admission of a plot of treason, isn't it?
Right there.
It's a treasonous plot or an insurrection by the Democrats.
And Representative Jamie Raskin just let the cat out of the bag, didn't he?
Or he let the insurrection out of the bag.
And Joe Biden says there will not be a peaceful transfer of power.
And these are the people who claim to be defending democracy?
Unbelievable.
But listen to Joe Biden or Bo Jiden here, because he's never sure what he's saying either, so we'll just call him Bo Jiden.
Listen to Bo say this in his own twisted words.
Are you confident that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025?
If Trump wins, no, I'm not confident at all.
I mean, if Trump loses, I'm not confident at all.
He means what he says.
We don't take him seriously.
He means it.
All the stuff about if we lose, there'll be a bloodbath.
It's going to have to be a stolen election.
Look what they're trying to do now in the local election districts where people count the votes.
They're putting people in place in states that they're going to count the votes, right?
Are you confident?
What the heck did he just say?
Is Joe Biden warning that people are threatening to count the votes?
Is that what he just said?
That Trump's people are evil because they're threatening to count the votes?
They're going to count the votes locally, he says.
Oh my God.
How dare they count the votes?
Does this guy have any idea what he looks like to the rest of the world?
I'm really saddened that he's dropping out.
I wish he would reassert his power.
In the Democrat cabal and just say, hey, you know, screw Kamala.
I'm going to run again.
It's me, Joe.
We're coming back in because I really want to roll out a bumper sticker nationwide.
I should have done this before.
It just says Buck Fo Jiden.
Buck Fo Jiden would be the most popular bumper sticker.
And feel free to steal that idea and make T-shirts.
But it's irrelevant now because he's dropping out of the race, apparently.
But It's the perfect slogan because, you know, it mirrors his confusion about what he's saying at all times.
And he makes no sense.
So buck foe jiden is just perfect.
Well, and as a bonus, it contains the word foe in it, which everybody knows is a very fun word because of fee-fi-fo-fum.
Ha, ha, ha.
Right?
Am I the only one that thinks that that's a fun word?
Fee-fi-fo-fum.
Come on.
Come on.
Where's the laughter?
Fee-fi-fo-fum.
And you know what follows that?
I smell the blood of an Englishman which never rhymed with fum.
So that one always was confusing to me all my life.
In fact, I'm going to have to look that up.
Is that the way that goes?
I smell the blood of an English man?
The rest of the words, by the way, and this just shows you just the weird, dark, demonic history of Western Europe, by the way.
And also, what's the song?
Ring around the rosy, pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes, we all fall down.
You know, they're reenacting the plague and the burning of bodies and everybody dying, right?
You know what?
That's it.
Why do they have a pocket full of posies?
Because the flowers had natural medicine in them that would protect people from the plague, right?
So ring around the rosy.
That was the sign on your skin, the boils that were indicative of the infection of the plague.
Pocket full of posies.
Ashes, ashes, that's the burning of the bodies, ashes falling out of the sky, and then we all fall down.
And I remember being in grade school, and our teachers would have us sing this, and then when the last verse was said, we all fall down, and you're supposed to, like, all the kids fall down to the ground.
And this was supposed to be fun.
And looking back on it, it's like, why are you doing song and dance worshipping of mass death?
A lot of questions like that.
Obviously, once you start to think about reality, you're like, wait a second, there's this death cult everywhere.
So the fee-fi-fo-fum lyrics, in case you're curious, it's fee-fi-fo-fum I smell the blood of an English man, which doesn't rhyme.
Be he alive or be he dead, I'll grind his bones to make my bread.
Okay, well, at least those two verses of the quatrain actually rhyme.
Okay, so good job.
Be he alive or be he dead, I'll grind his bones to make my bread.
Now, that's sick.
That's like grinding up dead corpses to make bread.
See, this is what I'm talking about.
These...
These fairy tales from Western Europe, they're sick, man!
It's all about death and cannibalism in this case.
Like, eating the flesh of dead people.
Grind up their bones to make your bread.
What?
What are you talking about?
Why are you singing these songs?
And, I mean, I'm reading this from a website out of the UK called Words for Life.
It's part of the National Literacy Trust, and it literally says...
Singing a nursery rhyme is a great way to bond with your child and support their language development.
Have a go at the song lyrics and watch the video for the music below.
Fi-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman.
Okay, so I can't help it.
I've got to play this video for you.
It's 30 seconds, okay?
I've just got to show you how deeply the United Kingdom is invested in this death cult of indoctrinating children into these nursery rhymes of mass death and cannibalism and eating the dead flesh and whatever.
It's crazy, but this is what they do to children.
Not just in the UK, but also in the US. And that's, you know, before they cut off their genitals.
And engage in grooming and transgenderism and trafficking and brainwashing and then they tell them you have to be obedient to the UK government or we will take a sawzall to your front door.
But check this out.
This is crazy.
Hi, this is Vianj and I'm Snehal and I'm a literacy champion for Read On Nottingham and we are going to sing you a nursery rhyme.
Hope you have fun and sing along with us.
Enjoy!
Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an English man.
Be he alive or be he dead, I grind his bones to make my breath.
You see what I mean?
You see what I mean?
They're singing like death nursery rhymes to the children in the UK. What's wrong with these people?
Why can't you just find some innocent thing?
There was a farmer, had a dog, and Bingo was his name.
O-B-I-N-G-O. Right?
Hey, it's a dog.
It's a dog named Bingo.
Why can't we sing about that?
No, we've got to sing about eating dead people.
Okay.
Making bread out of their dead bones.
Whatever.
Just a bunch of sickos.
Sickos!
And they hide this through nursery rhymes.
You see what I'm saying?
And they say, oh, it's so fun and everything's fun and laughing and smiling and we're teaching literacy.
What kind of sick literacy are you teaching?
You're teaching like cannibalism literacy.
See, I blame Joe Biden for this whole discussion, because that's what got us started, was buck foe Jiden.
You see what I mean?
Because of the foe, now we're into death cult nursery rhymes out of the UK. Can you believe it?
Okay, in other news, there has been a video leaked out of Israel.
And this is a video that shows IDF soldiers systematically raping and torturing Palestinian prisoners.
I'm not going to show this video because it's too horrific.
I have seen some of it.
And remember that in Israel, what the courts have just decided is that it's perfectly legal to rape and torture Palestinian prisoners because they are not considered human.
And Gerald Salenti just tweeted out about this.
There's a new story.
It's covered by Common Dreams.
It says, Israeli leaders demand probe of IDF rape video to find out who leaked it.
Yeah, because they want to punish whoever leaked it.
It's like, how dare you leak the video of us raping prisoners?
You know, instead of saying, like, why are we raping prisoners again?
Yeah.
Why are male IDF soldiers raping male Palestinian prisoners?
Hmm.
That's not the question.
The question is, who leaked this video?
Those are bad people.
Whoever leaked the video.
Yeah, it's pretty crazy, right?
It's kind of hard to describe the depth of evil demonstrated in that whole situation and how apparently the country of Israel has decided, it's all okay.
It's all good.
Just, you know, just keep on raping.
And they think that's perfectly acceptable.
Wow.
Wow.
And in other news, Dunkin' Donuts is being targeted with a boycott because according to Rumble CEO Chris Pawlowski, Duncan Donuts was one of the leading actors in the effort to boycott all advertising from platforms like Rumble or Twitter.
Duncan Donuts Well, I won't have to boycott Dunkin' Donuts because I've never been there.
Well, maybe I have been to one one time.
I mean, I don't buy there.
It's possible I may have walked through a Dunkin' Donuts with somebody at one time, but I don't shop there.
Donuts?
Are you kidding me?
Come on.
If I could offer Dunkin' Donuts some advice, I think you need to put tampons in the men's restroom.
You know, to appease Tim Walls, obviously.
Tampon Tim, as he's now known.
All right, let me get to some final points here today, and then we'll get to the interview with Pastor Steve Ciccolanti, which I think you'll really enjoy.
Big takeaway right now is VP candidate Tim Walls, is he going to stay in the race?
I'm leaning towards no.
Because of the stolen valor issue, and it seems to be snowballing, and apparently we're hearing that there are a lot more skeletons in Tim Walz's closet.
A lot of oppo research yet to come out.
I think there's a strategic effort to kind of hold on to that research until we get a little closer to the election.
In other words, the...
The conservatives are nervous that Walls might drop out too early because he's such a juicy target.
A lot of rumors about, well, whistleblowers from gay bars in Minnesota and things like that.
We'll just leave it at that.
And it would be a lot more useful to Republicans and to Trump if this information came out much closer to the election so that Democrats wouldn't have a chance to swap him out with somebody else.
But then there's also the bigger question of Kamala.
Is she the final choice or is she going to get swapped out by someone else?
You know, they like to show you that, oh, she's so popular.
Look at all this crowd at this event.
It turns out the event was a concert, some famous local rock band, and they gave out free food.
And everybody showed up to see the concert and get some free food.
And then Kamala...
Like, pops in and says, we're going to win!
And then, you know, they take a bunch of photos and videos, like, as if the whole crowd is there for her, and they're not.
Mostly when the music is over, people just get up and leave.
It's like, we're here for the concert, not for you.
And it is funny when Kamala, she's done a lot of, like, southern black talk lingo lately.
Where she's just really, really pandering to the black audiences and just going like, I don't know, full southern black lingo all of a sudden.
You know how she can just turn it on.
She's Kamala the chameleon, you know.
And she's been doing a lot of that.
It's not really working.
So I'm not sure that Kamala's going to be in there as the final choice.
A lot of questions coming up right now, folks.
A whole lot of questions.
Also, one of those being that is Kamala even qualified because you have to be a natural born citizen to qualify to be the president?
And she's not because her parents were not American citizens when she was born.
And the definition of natural born citizen is widely understood to mean that your parents were American citizens.
Even if you weren't born in America, if your parents were American citizens and they gave birth to you, let's say, in Mexico or something, you're still a natural-born citizen because your parents were both Americans.
Well, her parents were not citizens.
And so she may not even be qualified to become president just in terms of that language alone.
We'll see.
We'll see where this goes.
Could be interesting.
All right, we're going to jump into the interview.
I just want to give credit to our sponsors today.
Juvent.com, J-U-V-E-N-T.com, has the micro-impact plate, which is a revolutionary device that infuses into your body through these micro-impacts this kind of kinetic vitamin, you could call it, the nutrition of micro-impacts.
Coursing through your body, you can feel it in your bones and your tendons and in your joints.
You stand on this plate for a few minutes a day, and it cycles through frequencies to find out which actual kinetic frequency you can feel it happening.
It resonates with your body, and then it focuses on that frequency, and it actually just sends these micro-impact vibrations throughout your body.
Which causes, well, tremendous benefits.
And you can read about that and learn about that at Juvent.com.
J-U-V-E-N-T. And I've been using a Juvent plate since 2016.
So, yeah, eight years now.
Oh, I didn't realize it's been that long.
But especially for those of you who are getting up in the years or perhaps are dealing with bone density challenges and you want to support your natural bone density and normal, healthy, hormonal balance and all kinds of things, check out the Juvent Plate, juvent.com.

So if you want the cleanest foods and superfoods and supplements, Well, that's our slogan, is healing the world through clean food.
And as you know, I'm all about clean food and even at a spiritual level because a lot of my sermons now are focused on nutrition.
and I've got one coming up that talks about herbs in the Bible and also foods and nutrients mentioned in the Bible.
There's a lot there.
It's a very rich field of discussion, and I'm fascinated by it being a food scientist myself and someone who's now teaching various sermons based on Scripture.
It's like the perfect combination.
So God wants you to be healthy, and God wants you to consume his molecules as expressed through Mother Nature and phytonutrients in food.
Yeah, it all actually makes perfect sense.
All right, with that said, speaking of that, you're about to hear from a man who is...
Welcome to my show!
So have a great time listening to this, and give some love, give some welcome to Pastor Steve Ciccolanti.
Thank you for listening.
Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
And today, I just can't tell you how filled my heart is with the guests that we have today.
Someone who I've admired and listened to for many, many years.
And he has influenced my own work and even the new direction that I'm moving in, which is a very strongly faith-based direction, was strongly influenced by our guest today, Pastor Steve Ciccolanti, who's from Discover Church.
The website is discoverchurch.online.
It's a .online instead of a .com.
And he joins us today from his new home in Florida.
Welcome, Pastor Steve.
It's an honor, sir, to have you on today.
Well, you said very kind words there.
Thanks so much.
You fought for freedom for all of us as well, so I appreciate your work.
Well, I can't even tell you how much we appreciate your work.
My wife and I have watched so many of your sermons, and you may not even know who you're reaching in some of the voices.
You are an influencer of influencers, and you have carried a word of truth and righteousness with the kind of courage that many of us see as very unusual in the traditional Christian church community.
Could you describe for our audience how you're different from...
What I'm describing as traditional Christian churches that usually don't have the kind of courage that you have.
Well, I guess people ask about that.
It's hard to talk about myself.
What might make me different is I've been to 50 countries, and that just gives a bit of a broader perspective.
So I don't always come at the Bible or that prophecy from an American-centric or Eurocentric point of view.
And I just try to stay humble.
I'm not sure how other people do it, but just always try to go back to the Word of God, because we can always make mistakes.
I've made mistakes, you know, and not everything that I learned in Bible school was exactly right as prophecy unfolds, so just stay humble and keep learning.
Well said.
That should be our life's endeavor, I believe.
And if you don't mind me asking, because I think our audience will ask this, for those who have followed you before, you were known for being in Australia for many, many years, and yet you speak like an American pronunciation of English, and Physically, you look like your ancestry may be an interesting combination of the world.
So, is it okay that I ask that, and can you answer that?
Yeah, I'm not offended at all.
So, in terms of my accent, I was born in Thailand, and I am Australian, so I'm half Australian, half Thai.
That means half Caucasian, half Asian.
I guess, like, maybe your kids?
You've got kids?
Well, I don't have kids, but my wife is from Taiwan.
Oh, okay, alright.
If you did have kids, they'd look like me, alright?
Okay, got it, yes.
So, and then, you know, I came to the United States when I was 10 years old, because my mother remarried an American, and I lived all over the United States, lived in New York, was trained in ministry here in the United States.
I left because my heart beats for the loss and for the harvest.
So I went and planted a church in Thailand, was part of a team.
That church continues today.
And then the Lord had me go to Australia, which is, you know, my nationality, and I thought I was just going to be on holiday.
That holiday lasted 24 years.
I planted a church there.
And that was in Melbourne?
That was in Melbourne, Australia.
That's right.
So, I never lost the accent is, I guess, my short answer.
I never lost, you know, I couldn't keep the Aussie accent, and I ended up having, some people think it's kind of Canadian, some Californian accent, but The good thing about it is when I go preach in Africa or some place where I need interpretation, the interpreter is always like, thank you, we can understand your English very well.
So I thought, well, praise God.
God shaped even the accent to be something that's useful for Him.
I never thought I was a good speaker.
I didn't have any aspiration to be in front of people or on stage, but The interpreters appreciate my accent, so at least somebody does.
Well, if you don't mind me saying, your style of speaking is very worldly, and it is universal.
Just like the interpreters said, you're very easy to listen to for the interpreters.
And by the way, you can tell I speak...
Bluntly, but with kindness also, I admire what you're doing.
Some of my life has paralleled some of what you have done as well.
But many of the Christian churches in the United States, especially the more southern churches, have a very strong Alabama accent or a Texas accent, which I don't have either, even though I live in Texas.
And that can make it more difficult for international audiences to just attract what the words are, right?
Yeah, but it sounds cool.
Sounds cool to sound Texan.
Oh, well, we could do a whole interview in Texan if you want to at some point.
You can come to Texas.
We'll do a Texan.
Like, we'll have barbecue and everything if you want.
Oh, that's awesome.
Yeah, if I hang around a Texan, I start sounding Texan.
It's a very strong accent.
It overwhelms the other accent.
Yes, yes, it does.
God bless Texas.
I'm so happy to be here, and I'm so thrilled that you are in Florida now.
And may I ask, I mean, I can understand Australia during COVID must have been rather horrendous because of the authoritarianism.
I don't know if that was a primary factor for you, but have you spoken publicly about what caused you to make that move to Florida?
You know, I haven't really, so you're asking me.
I don't mind saying it.
I had a prophecy around 1998 that I would preach in the United States, that I would go to all 50 states.
As with all prophecy, I don't try to make it happen.
I never really thought that I was needed here, you know, to be honest.
I look around the United States and I think, you've got the best preacher, the best churches, you've got everybody on TV, podcasts, you don't really need me here.
But around COVID, I'll tell you the story.
What happened was I built our dream home.
I got four kids.
I built a home with six bedrooms.
Everybody's got their en suite.
I had a lake in front of me.
I have solar panels.
I've got water tanks.
I'm ready for any tribulation or pre-tribulation stuff coming down.
And we moved in.
I did the landscaping.
We moved in for about three months, and the Lord said, You will be moving out of here.
Of course!
That was, you know, it's all about a shocker to me.
It's a shocker to the rest of the family.
And again, I didn't try to make it happen, but through a series of miracles, absolute miracles, we were able to come here.
Because I used to have a green card and all that, but I don't have it anymore because I left for so long.
So by a series of miracles, we made it here.
God really confirmed that He wanted us here.
I told when I left the church, which I planted 24 years ago, I oversee it.
I still go back and preach, but I told them, I said, you remember, I'm following God's call.
I'm going by faith.
Nobody invited me.
Nobody opened a door for me.
Nobody made it easy for me.
Nobody promised money to me.
I said, I'm going with nothing.
I left everything, sold the car, sold the house.
I said, now you watch.
God will do it.
God will open doors.
And, you know, this morning I was with General Flynn.
This afternoon I'm with Mike Adams.
Last week I was with Alex Jones.
And, you know, you don't want to name drop, but you want to give glory to God and say, God is able to take care of you, but you've got to live by faith.
At any time when you think you can live without faith, without having to believe God for something that seems unlikely and impossible, you've become stagnant in your faith.
And what I've come back to is an entire country that I feel is stagnant because of its lukewarmness, its prosperity, its abundance.
All the blessings that Jesus brought into this beautiful country has become a curse.
It has become a blessing in reverse, right?
Because we've taken all these things and just become massive spiritual consumers, rather than going out, like I think you have and I have.
I've been to 50 countries, and I just go.
If the Lord says go, I drop everything, and I just go for Him.
And I'm here to awaken the United States and awaken American Christianity.
I know it's not popular.
I'm not going to be the most popular speaker in churches around here.
But you've got to wake up and stop squandering the wealth and the riches, and I don't just mean money, but the absolute wealth that God has given to Americans, even the wealth of time.
You know, if you have more time, you should pray more.
If you have more money, you should give more.
If you have the means to travel, you should travel for Jesus, not travel to see more dead relics and museums.
You really should do something about the Gospel.
So that's, I guess, part of the uniqueness of my voice that I bring to America.
Absolutely beautiful.
And I would just add, you will find that you are so welcomed and embraced in ways that you could not have imagined.
Even, for example, just this connection, you and I, and then the other doors that will be opened because of this.
And the people that we know in common, like Clay Clark, for example.
You know, I spoke at his very first Reawaken America Tour event in Tulsa.
That's awesome.
Yeah, at the Rhema Church, right?
Yes, exactly, exactly.
That's awesome.
I wish I'd been there.
That's awesome.
Oh, it was an historic moment.
And I can't even, there's some things I can't even tell you, you know, on camera, some doors that are opening and connections that are being made, but you are welcome to the United States of America.
You will be embraced.
Your message will be taken to heart.
And you have a very important role to play for this nation, I believe.
I was shocked to learn that you were coming to America to preach here.
And as much as I love your brethren in Australia, in Melbourne, and I know they miss you dearly, and you will go back and preach there, but you're right.
America is ready for you and your message.
Because it's a message of truth.
You don't self-censor like many of these other pastors.
Can you speak to that?
And I'm sorry about the long question, but many churches are fearful of speaking about anything related to our time, our politics, our economy, anything like that.
But you are not.
What's behind that?
I've been trying to figure that out.
I mean, that's a big question.
Why are people so fearful?
Again, if you have faith, if you believe God, you believe.
I've heard you speak about how we're spirit beings.
We're not just material beings.
So you have to have that at the foundation of your life that The real us and the real life that we're heading to is an eternal life with God.
So what happens here is temporary, but it's very decisive.
What we choose here, the quality of life, the quality of decisions we make here, really determine our eternal status.
I mean, the implications of that are so absolutely profound that you just want to make every day count.
It's hard to live that way, right?
Some people would find that statement very stressful, that you're almost living like Every moment counts, but didn't Jesus say that even every idle word that you speak, you will give account for?
Every word you whisper in your inner chamber is going to be shouted out on the rooftop.
So I learned that you want to make life count.
I don't know if I'm answering your question on that.
Well, yes, you are indeed.
I don't know what your church structure here is in the United States, but even we have an oppressive government with the IRS requirements for churches, the 501c3 church, which is probably not the best structure to use because you essentially have to sign a contract with the government to not speak about any politics or any legislation.
And it seems like, you know, here's Rome persecuting the church again.
Yeah, so we looked into that.
There's a 508C1A, which is an automatic status recognition of church under the Constitution.
We are already tax-exempt and exempt from any censorship by the government.
The 501C3 then came in, and then with the Johnson Amendment, people felt like...
I think, really, if I can say, the pastors gag themselves.
The Christians censor themselves.
So it's never been tested.
I asked our...
Our ministry has a legal expert, and he said that to his knowledge, only one church has ever lost its tax-exempt status, and they were proven to be fraudsters.
So I think that people are afraid.
And the answer to your question, I think, is that...
America has become such a legal or legalistic country, which the Bible calls pharisaical, right?
We're so afraid of lawsuits.
We're so afraid of the law.
We're so afraid of the weight of lawfare, which we can see they're doing to Trump, and only a man like Trump can take that amount of heat and pressure.
But most people just don't want it.
They just don't want it.
So, for instance, for us, we had to look around so many places to rent a church because they were afraid.
And they won't tell the truth.
They will say, well, we don't have the...
Insurance for you.
Insurance?
That's not honest, because I have my own insurance.
I have my own ministry and liability insurance, so we are covered.
But they will always answer in a legal way.
We finally got to a church that welcomed us, and then they closed down, because the building was owned by, just happens to be a Jewish owner, and he sold the building.
Then we moved to another church.
All this within a short time.
They moved to another church, and their traditional belief We thought, you know, just like we do, believe the Bible and a bit more traditional than us.
And we were there for just a little bit, and then I got a call, and the pastor said, I'm sorry, one of our online members found out that you're pro-Trump, and they don't want you here.
Oh, you're kidding me.
Yeah, so that's the journey.
So we are living through intensely the fear that clouds over America.
Now, we're not offended by that.
We know people just live in fear.
So imagine if they're afraid of us and we're as harmless as doves, imagine the kind of life that they live, the stress that they live.
Now, I prayed about it.
This is one of the things that I'm teaching people on is pray differently.
It's not the time to pray soft prayers.
So we pray justice.
The way you pray justice is, first of all, you say, Lord, I'm not unjust.
I haven't done anything unjust towards others.
My hand is clean.
So then I ask you, Lord, to be the one to go and deal with that person, whoever it is that might be a troublemaker or a persecutor or a false accuser.
And I've prayed these prayers over the years, and I've just found they work, they work, they work.
And Christians haven't been taught to pray that in America.
So we pray that for Trump, and that's how I believe that he was spared from the assassination attempt.
We prayed for 1,300, and I think it was 59 days or something like that, continuously for him.
And we pray these justice prayers over Trump.
Let me bring people to your book about prayer, which is on your website, discoverchurch.online.com.
I have it right here.
And it takes you to your book, Get Prayers Answered.
And Pastor Steve, can you explain what this book is about?
How to pray more effectively, or how would you describe it?
Yeah, I don't want to write any book unless it contributes something new or something valuable to the body of Christ.
And I know there are lots of prayer books that But I felt in my spirit that I had something to say because these are prayers over 30 years, 30 years of praying that got answers.
Prayers for people who have huge problems, huge bad disease diagnosis, bad court cases, bad marriage, bad divorce.
All of those are topics.
So I think that's quite uncommon.
You don't get that normally in a nice little prayer book that you pick up at the airport.
So you go through those topics, and you'll see one of the first topics I've got in there, which is, it's a pre-order, by the way, it's not yet out, so I'm just giving away a free chapter, but we'll have prayers against assassination attempt.
We've got prayer called Avenge Me, prayer when you go to court, prayer for family, prayer for your children, prayer for your home.
So just one by one, alphabetically, the things that you'd normally pray for.
How to pray for your family to be saved is such a big deal.
deal.
It's probably the most commonly asked question that I get.
All of my family got saved, meaning they came to Christ, they were born again, within a year of me becoming born again.
So how did that happen in my life?
I know lots of people cry for their own children and their parents to get saved, and I just share those things, and it's not...
They're not long, but they're full of scriptures.
Just scripture after scripture.
I don't do things just because I heard somebody else do it.
I want to go back to the scripture because I believe the success in prayer is found in the scriptures.
Yes.
Well said.
Okay, so again, the website, folks, is discoverchurch.online.com.
It takes you to this page right here.
And again, as Pastor Steve said, there's a free chapter that you can get right now.
The book is coming out at some point.
Do you have a rough timeline for the book being released?
You know, I could finish it in two weeks.
The problem is that I've got this urgency to do the timeline of the full horseman of the apocalypse.
Everywhere I go, that's the main question that people ask is, when's the economic collapse?
When is the global meltdown and famine?
How soon will the wars end?
So I believe that God's revealed to me the timeline of revelation very clearly.
Short of saying, I'm not predicting the date of the rapture, the date of the second coming.
I'm purely dealing with practical timeline.
How much time do we have to do Yes.
And we do have some more time.
We're not calling, there are people who are like, rapture now, get out now.
I'm not one of those.
But even if it was another ten years, it's a short, short, short time.
So we've got way more to do than any human can handle by themselves.
So we need to band together, and I'm glad to be with you, Mike.
And there's, you know, so many more people that need to work together.
I wish the pastors that you were saying were afraid.
We just get out of that fear.
Nobody's lost their tax-exempt status except one that was proven to be a fraudster.
There's nothing to fear, you know, even if they take our lives.
So we go to heaven forever and ever and get the martyr's reward.
There's just nothing to fear.
Oh, I'm sorry.
But you're exactly right.
You mentioned the church designation that you're formed under the 508C1A. And one thing that's beautiful about our founding fathers and their vision for America...
was telling the state to keep its hands off the church and in fact the very first right that's described in the first amendment is the freedom of religious expression you know in addition to the other freedoms freedom of the press freedom of speech and so on freedom public gatherings and things like that but the church has a special standing and no government can come to you and say that your beliefs don't qualify now I understand the IRS does have,
I think, 14 points where they say these are the characteristics of what a functioning church is, such as having a place of worship or having a process for ordained ministers, having a youth education program and so on.
But those are the kinds of things that you and your church have been doing for decades.
They do it anyway.
You do it all the time.
Yes.
So they can't challenge your existence as a church, which means you are free.
You are free in America to preach the Word of God without reservation.
I believe so.
I believe so.
But like I said, people are afraid and trying to figure out what, besides the lawsuits, the constant threat of lawsuits that Americans seem to live under.
I'm not sure what else.
Is it just ignorance?
Because my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, the Bible says.
And we're living in such an urgent time.
We need to shout from the rooftop, Jesus is coming soon.
Jesus is coming soon.
And the time to play around is gone.
It's gone.
Every move now, you get on the wrong plane, you're in the wrong place.
You know, an act of terror can happen, an asteroid can hit, who knows how many things are coming down.
But I think the blackouts are coming, the famines are coming, and we've got a timeline for it.
We've got to wake up the Church, and we've got to wake up America.
A lot of times I find, you know, it's not even the Church, it's just the ordinary American Now on church, they do need to get back to a good church, not just any ordinary church, but a lot of times it's those people that have kind of been out of fellowship for a while.
They're on fire, and they're aware of what's going on, and they can't stand the assault on our hearts, our minds, our families, our children, our freedom.
It's time to wake up.
Absolutely, it's time to wake up.
I feel that in my own heart as well, which is why I'm doing some of the things that I'm doing.
I think I was deceived about what the church was.
For most of my youth and my college years and so on, my friends in college would mock the Christian group.
I was told all of these lies and deceptions about what the church was.
Now that I'm deeply Reading the word of Paul and his philosophical grasp of the issues of his day and realizing that his words could be just as applicable today in 2024 as they were thousands of years ago.
It's such a rich universe of wisdom, and it's so stimulating.
It's so stimulating.
When I was young, I was told, oh, the church is boring, and you go in and you sit and you sing songs and you read scripture, but you don't know what it means.
None of that is true.
It's really exciting.
Yeah, if you want to go to a boring service, try going into a Buddhist temple while they're chanting.
And they chant in a dead language called Sanskrit or Pali.
I've been there.
They're not even allowed.
Have you?
I have.
I did that in Taiwan.
Yes, indeed.
Yeah, so you really don't understand anything, because even the people chanting don't understand what they're chanting.
And it's a long session, let me tell you, too.
It goes on for hours.
Yeah, so Christianity was, when Jesus found me and I went back into a real church preaching the Bible, it was the most exciting thing that happened in my life.
And just to give you a little bit more background, all that happened.
Even though I was Western educated, I lived in America, I was educated in the States, in Canada, and in France, prior to coming to Christ, nobody in the West told me about Jesus.
It's so strange, but nobody told me about Jesus.
And when the Lord took me back to Thailand, within the first 24 hours, six people, six people told me about Jesus.
Really?
In Thailand?
Yeah.
Wow, were they missionaries or what was their role?
Well, the first three were Thais, and because I can speak Thai, but I made it difficult for them, I just respond back in English.
I act like I can't speak Thai so well.
So I gave them such a hard time, they gave up on me.
The next day, the Lord didn't give up on me.
He sent three Singaporeans.
Of course, you know, Singaporeans are Asians who speak perfect English with their Singlese accent, but they speak perfect English, and so I couldn't use the advantage anymore of using English.
And they just, I guess they wore me down in a good way.
They wore me down with the gospel until I got it.
And I said, yeah, I'm a sinner.
I need to be saved.
And I prayed the prayer.
And this old Singaporean man who was a former Buddhist monk, he had a great story about that.
But he was a former Buddhist monk.
He laid hands on me and he prophesied.
And he said, this one will go to the nations.
And I didn't believe a word he said.
I just thought, you know, I don't mind praying to...
To Jesus, I don't mind being forgiven of my sins.
I didn't understand the profound effect of being born again, but I was born again, radically.
And I stopped doing drugs almost immediately.
I started traveling.
And Taiwan, actually, we were talking about Taiwan, the country where your wife comes from.
Taiwan was the last country I went to before I got saved.
So I made a stop in Taiwan, and then I went down to Thailand.
And that was within the 24 hours, six people told me about Jesus.
Well, that's really interesting.
When I lived in Taiwan, we always saw the Mormon missionaries, and we were very friendly with them, and they would always travel on bicycles in pairs, and they would preach the word of the LDS Church to anybody there.
But I don't know if this is true in Thailand or other countries in the region, but in Taiwan, many of the Christian churches Would welcome new members to their teachings by simply offering free English lessons.
But the English that they were teaching from would be scripture.
Yeah, it's one of the techniques.
Thailand has got other cultural avenues.
I wrote a whole book about it, actually, How to Reach the Heart of the Asian.
But one way is you can do Thai boxing, Muay Thai camps.
You know, a lot of the Christians are well trained in martial arts.
They reach a lot of young people that way.
That's just the heart and soul of Thailand.
It's part of their culture.
And then you've got to know a little bit about Buddhism.
You know, it's like sending missionaries to a Muslim country and they don't know who Muhammad is or doesn't know what the Quran is.
You would be ineffective.
So we sent a lot of people into Asia and they don't know anything about Buddha and Buddhism.
So I wrote a book.
My first big book was From Buddha to Jesus.
It's still around.
It's been translated, I think, at least seven, eight languages now.
And yeah, so that's...
How I would recommend people reaching out to the Buddhist heart.
Fantastic.
Okay.
Practical question for you, Pastor Steve.
And again, thank you for taking the time with us.
This is incredibly joyful to share this with you and our audience.
For those who wish to support you, it's kind of a welcoming gift to America.
Do you have a donation mechanism already set up for your church in Florida?
Or how does that work?
Yeah, so we are just starting, after a year, we're just starting Partners Club, and the website for that, or the webpage, should be live this week, so I'm not sure how soon we air this, but by the time viewers watch it, they should be able to go to discoverchurch.online.com.
But if it's not up yet, you just go to slash give, and then you can give anything.
Like I said, we left everything that we had in Australia, and we just built this nice little studio here, and we've got a few more things that we're believing God for.
So if you like our ministry, you can partner with it.
You can have a part in the rewards of what the Lord will give us when we're all done and go to heaven.
Okay, perfect.
So discoverchurch.online.com is up right now, and I see the donate now.
And also, Pastor Steve, I would ask if you can give us a shipping address, because we have many things to share with you, physical things that we need to ship you from our store.
But also, it's very interesting to There are so many passages in Scripture, especially the New Testament, that speak about this, but to be a good steward of resources is to distribute them, to help others in need.
We have been blessed with this enormous, just this steady incoming flow of physical goods, pallets upon pallets of physical goods donated by some of the partners that I've helped promote, for no money just they send us thank yous and in my local community I have been tirelessly working to distribute these I'm not even keeping up with it I always put cases in my car and then when I see people a restaurant owner the other day
here have a case of chlorine dioxide from you know from the Safrax company that sends us all this we have so many valuable things to send to you Some of which I can't even really say here, but I would love to give you that gift to say welcome.
Well, we are very honored.
You know, I don't expect anything free, but it's wonderful when people so enter the ministry.
And I thank God my electricity didn't go off during this last hurricane that just came through Florida.
So I was blessed.
In fact, if you looked on the map, That Hurricane Debbie, you can see one white part where there was no hurricane?
That's my house.
The center of that is my house.
So God's really protected us.
But of course, we believe in what you believe in.
We believe in all the good health supplements.
Quality of food is degraded.
We believe in prepping.
We believe in getting clean water and having extra energy in case the grid goes down.
Since we just came here, we're learning about all these things.
Please educate me and tell me what you use.
Well, we have things that...
I know that if I put them into your hands, that your growing community there, you will know whose hands they need to go into next.
And that's a beautiful thing.
And that's what we're all into.
And it's so interesting.
And it's so true that when we are taught that we are to be stewards of resources and not to hoard, not to live under a status of greed or to think that money is the aim or what is it?
You know, first first Timothy, I think, chapter six that, you know, you know, the verse better than I do, but that the love of money is the root of all types of evil.
And you think about, in fact, I want to ask you this, you know, the stock market situation that just happened earlier this week.
We saw people panic.
Oh, I'm losing my virtual dollars and the numbers on the screen are getting smaller.
And I'm thinking, I mean, I don't mean to be judgmental, but what about your priorities in life?
Like, might there be other things more important than the numbers on the screen, actually, in this time?
Maybe I'm too harsh, but you can say it more gently.
What are your thoughts?
Well, people have a lot of their heart wrapped up in money, that's for sure.
And when you ask them to give, you can see that's where their life is at.
But the way to be free from that is just be like what you're saying, be a generous person, be an open-hearted person.
The way I say it is, you know, God will pour out blessings to you, but your heart is the container.
So, how much of your heart is open?
The more open your heart is, the more you can receive blessings from God.
The more you keep shutting your heart, He's still pouring out, it's still raining down on you, but you're containing very little.
So, when your heart is so wrapped up in money, instead of with relationship, with people, then your heart closes up.
You've got to open your eyes and open your heart towards people that God brings into your life, and then money and resources will not be a problem.
They kind of just get attracted to an open heart.
In terms of practically speaking, the stock market falling, it's going to fall and you're going to have an October surprise, but it is not the end.
It's not the time of the U.S. dollar collapse.
I understand we're all waiting for something to happen, but I'm going to be the voice that says...
For many years I've been saying the dollar is only going to strengthen.
This week we saw like the collapse of the Japanese yen.
And what does that mean?
It means the US dollar is stronger and stronger.
So this is just, you know, pre-election jitters and jitters from Japan.
But the total collapse where we're talking about mass famine, billions of people dying, that's coming, I think, in a couple of years, at least two and a half to three years away.
So, I know that other people don't say that, and they're panicking, but I'm not panicked at all.
I woke up today and I said, I bet you they're going to have a bounce, and of course it's back to a bounce up 300 points or something.
You don't panic over that.
Just go and pray and spend more time with God, I think, if you're panicked over something so small.
Well, I think that's very wise, your take on that.
And I want to ask you this question anyway, which is that it's always very difficult to know, especially about the prophecies in the Bible, to what time period were they speaking, or were they perhaps speaking to multiple audiences spanning different time periods, because history repeats.
But in our world today, how would you compare it when you see the Paris Olympics and the mockery of Christ, the mockery of the Last Supper, While at the same time, the Olympics bans any Christian symbology from the athletes.
You can't have any Christian symbols, but you can mock Christ in the opening ceremony.
That's the official position of the Olympics right now.
How do you think that the perversion and the...
The negativity, the preying upon children, all these things.
How do you think that compares today to, let's say, the era of Sodom and Gomorrah?
Are we not as bad yet, or way worse?
How do you make that comparison, if you do?
I don't know if you know, but I lived in France when I was a teenager.
I speak French, and I lived in France.
And I know a bit about French history.
I believe that France is more the spiritual center of Europe than, say, Ukraine.
We've got a lot of interest in Ukraine right now.
I don't think that prophetically has as much impact as France.
France is the place.
So, for instance, go back 1789.
France had a revolution, and they were just as hedonistic, atheistic, secularistic then as they are now.
They were always that way.
When we were moving towards freedom in 1776 and towards God, they were moving towards secularism and humanism, and the goal of the French Revolution was, number one, destroy the monarchy, and number two, destroy any trace of Christianity.
That was 1789, so we're not...
It's not new.
It's exactly what France is about.
France has been about that for a long time.
However, you go back further, and now I'm going to get my dates a little bit wrong, but let's say in the 700s, immediately after the death of Mohammed, Within a hundred years, Islam was already at the door of almost at Paris.
And it was the Battle of Tours that halted them.
So again, France, France, France.
You always look at France.
Don't look at Ukraine, you look at France.
Spiritually, why was it there?
I don't know, but I know that it was in France that Islam, in 700 A.D., was stopped from taking over Europe.
So France is the one to look to.
France used to be a bastion of Christianity, and I guess stopped the Islamic invasion, but now It's very secular because of that 1789 revolution, and that's the path they're going.
So now we're at 2024, and you see the gross, blasphemous attack on the Last Supper, on Christians, on Jesus Christ, on family, transgender display.
For those who didn't see it, I think most people would have seen it, but they changed the Last Supper scene to a...
Drag queen.
Yeah.
So, obviously disgusting, but nothing surprising.
When I lived in France 20-odd years ago, they were like that.
When I went, I was not born again, not 20, it was like 30 years ago.
I was not born again at that time, but I always had a respect for God.
It was just something that was in me.
And I would go into the churches there, and I would be the only young person there.
And that was 30 years ago.
So the churches are gutted out.
The churches that are vibrant today in France, and some listeners may be French and can correct me, but as far as I know, they're probably populated by the African Christian migrants and African Christian pastors.
So the local people have totally been brainwashed by French secularism.
When you study the French philosophers, Albert Camus and all these other people, Descartes, it's all the same thing.
It's an attack on biblical values.
Yes.
No surprise what's going on now.
But for an American, it's disgusting because we have a much more Christian foundation.
So we consider this so despicable that it's Sodom and Gomorrah to us.
It's coming here as well, you know, so we're not much better.
To whom much has been given, much is required.
Well, your microphone just cut out just now.
Wait a minute.
Are we back?
Oh, it's back, yes.
Okay.
Sorry about that.
Don't know what happened.
No worries.
I was quoting the scripture that to whom much has been given, much is required.
I think that the judgment on America is going to look a lot worse than France simply because we've had more Christianity, more churches, you know, even...
Alexis de Tocqueville came from France and looked at America 250 years ago and said, wow, what makes America great is that America's good, and what makes America good is what's preached in the pulpits.
The uniqueness and the exceptionalism of America is not found in its rivers or mountains or economy, it's found in the pulpits of America.
So I think America's going to see a much worse judgment for the same kind of sins that You know, discuss us during the Olympics.
And I'm not defending the French.
I'm just saying we were given much more than them.
We're more, in a way, a more beautiful country than they are, and we're just destroying it.
With Hollywood and with soft preaching in the pulpits.
Well, I completely agree and I would add that in any nation you get the culture that you're willing to defend.
And the church, the early church of America was strong in its convictions.
It was strong in holding its ground and setting boundaries and saying no when the nation strayed from those boundaries.
But what we're witnessing, and please correct me if you think I'm wrong about this or whatever you have to add, but across Western Europe, France and the UK, what's happening right now, and other European countries as well, Germany, even Romania, Poland to some extent, What you're seeing is this complacency among the Christian churches.
This has been going on for a long, long time, and this unwillingness to stand for anything.
And then you have this younger, more hungry Islamic group, mostly young men, who are not obese.
They're fit, they're energetic, they're impassioned, they're willing to die for their beliefs.
And they are just steamrolling across the UK right now, not to mention France.
But doesn't that speak to what happens when your church refuses to stand for the Word of God?
Of course, yes.
And I would add to that that the church has been influenced by third-wave feminism.
So the church stands as a feminine figure in Europe, and Islam is all masculinity.
It's all testosterone.
And we used to associate the picture of Christians, right, used to be knights.
Knights were the Christians, right?
A man who was willing to lay down his life to defend his wife and children and his country.
And now, you know, it's...
What is it?
Pastors are the guys in skinny jeans, and what's the little slogan?
Who says that?
I don't know.
The smoke screens and the skinny jeans.
That's what I heard.
Smoke screens and skinny jeans.
And it's just this feminizing of the pulpit, feminizing of the church.
And I understand that there was a feminist movement, but now it's gone way off to the extreme.
It's a frontal attack on fathers and men and boys.
And Europe has that.
Europe absolutely is feminized, and so there's no chance of Europe winning against a testosterone-filled masculine religion.
They have to change.
And I don't think they will.
I don't think they will.
I think France is lost.
I think Germany is lost.
I went to Germany a couple of years ago as soon as the COVID lockdown finished.
We have pockets of supporters all over in different countries.
I think almost every country we go to, we'll find supporters of our ministry and watchers.
But I thought, you know, let's go to where Martin Luther preached.
I visited his church in...
What's the town now?
Now I'm forgetting.
Is it Gutenberg?
So wherever it was, we were there.
And then I thought that we would be welcome in the churches there.
And our...
Watchers said, you know, the only meeting that they could organize for me in Berlin, you know, in the capital, was a house church.
And that was a wonderful house church, but it was just, you know, it was amazing that here was the center of the Protestant Reformation, and now you can hardly find a Bible-teaching church that would welcome Bible prophecy.
Wow.
Wow.
Well, I printed out part of Matthew 24 here because that's a verse that a lot of people are familiar with, and I didn't print all of it, so I don't recall which verse that talks about the persecution of the church.
And do you believe that right now in our time that more people are being drawn to the church because of the desperation of the times or for some other reason?
I mean, Your church is going to blossom.
I hope you know that.
You should know it.
Everybody knows it.
Your church is going to blossom.
I've had great receivings from just any time I talk about faith, and it surprised me.
I thought I would get a lot more criticism, but I haven't.
But why are people turning to the Word of God more right now, in your view?
I think it's the time.
It's certainly the time for an awakening.
When we go with General Flynn and Clay Clark, the tour is called Reawaken America, so there's a season.
Now, what I'm here to define is, what are we awakening to?
And what I believe we're awakening to is not just the endgame where Jesus comes back, but He comes back to do what?
He comes back to judge the living and the dead.
We don't like that word, judge, anymore in the American culture.
Nobody judges anything.
But if I put it this way, he's coming back to bring justice.
He's coming back to right the wrongs.
And before he comes and ultimately does that, the Church has to awaken to the concept of justice.
We have to become just people.
We have to become agents of justice.
And then we have a people that are ready to welcome him.
Because it's an absolute shocker to the American church.
If Jesus comes back and does what he does, I bet you a lot of the church-going people would reject Jesus.
You're probably right.
He's very just.
And he's not as soft and user-friendly as the American church has made him out.
They've got one part of his nature, but they've totally hidden the other part of his character, which is he is the designated judge of the universe.
He is the designated king, the chosen king by his father, God the Father.
So we need to then awaken American Christianity towards justice.
This is my explanation for why Trump is Trump and why he's there.
Forget about his marriages.
Forget about his casinos.
He's never going to be a good pastor, so let's agree on that.
But you know what it is?
He is an agent of justice.
He's an agent of justice.
He's done this over the course of his life.
When he sees injustice, he'll even get out of his car and try to intervene.
These are stories about Trump that he never promotes himself.
I guess he's humble in that way.
But because he's braggadocious in other ways, people just don't see it.
He is an agent of justice.
And because he wasn't fully committed to justice in his first administration, we went through these three years of deception, one more year of this, we can't wait for it to be over.
And he's going to come back now understanding the pain and the suffering of the ordinary American who has lived under the tyranny of lawfare, the regulations, the oppression of the amount of laws in this country that's used against its own people.
He has now woken up to that.
It's become personal.
This is so true.
He should have done a much better job with the three justices that he was given to nominate on the Supreme Court.
And in my book, Trump's Unfinished Business, somewhere here, Trump's Unfinished Business, I wrote 10 prophecies to save America.
One of those chapters is about the court.
Ten prophecies to save America.
One was about the court and what he should do.
And in simple term, he should stay away from all the establishment.
Do not trust any of them and appoint an outsider to the Supreme Court.
He had three chances and he didn't do it.
So when he called for election integrity, they would not even stand by him.
So that was in the book before it all happened.
Yes.
Well, incredible.
You have so many books and many sermons, I believe, also on your website.
Can people purchase the downloads of your sermons?
Is that available?
We're working on it.
So the website that's in Australia is discover.org.au.
You're able to download a lot of that stuff, and it doesn't matter that it's in Australia.
So discover.org.au is the Australian website.
Americans won't like it simply because you're paying an Australian dollar.
So we are, in fact, this very week working on uploading more of the content that Americans want and paying in U.S. dollar.
Already something is up at discoverchurch.online.
That's the U.S. website.
We need more help.
As you said, you have some resources and people who can help.
We certainly need some help with the website.
But it's getting more beautiful.
It's getting more functional.
So we are definitely trying to serve the people better.
Outstanding.
And yes, we also have editorial staff.
So after this, if I can get a contact with your team and we can also help you announce as you have these things available, we can help share that word.
And we're almost out of time for today.
I greatly respect your time with us.
There's just two things I want to add here.
I forgot to mention this earlier, but one of the things that I believe helped me be ready to really understand Scripture is the fact of being persecuted for so many years.
And I believe that so much, it's part of the Christian experience to suffer persecution.
And if I had never been censored and attacked and defamed and slandered all these years, I don't think I could have understood, you know, like Job's questions, for example.
I could not, I had no frame of reference until this time, but right now we're all being persecuted as Christians.
And so we see the truth in the words.
Any comments on that?
Well, you hit the nail on the head and you preached the sermon.
You gave the answer for me.
When you ask, what makes me different?
Well, it's because I have suffered.
And 1 Peter 5 talks about that, that the Lord will establish you, perfect you, strengthen you, stabilize you.
After you have suffered a little while.
So suffering does a lot.
Suffering is the greatest preparation for a minister.
If you haven't suffered, the quality of your sermon and content is just going to be different.
And I went through all that suffering and censorship with YouTube and with just other ministers.
We did all that.
But you know, if you just forgive them, God always looks after us, and He'll bring us up.
So I mean, our YouTube channel now is even bigger than before.
Obviously, they censor us.
Obviously, we're getting not as many views as we used to get when we had only 100,000 subscribers.
Now we've got 400,000 subscribers, and sometimes you can't find a video.
But you just know you're not playing on a level playing field.
You know that they're unfair.
They play dirty.
But you forgive them anyway, and then you learn to pray justice.
And that's where we've got to change.
Not only just forgive, but also bring God's justice to bear.
How do we do that?
And Psalm 149 says, to pray the written judgment.
So anything that's written in the Bible, we can pray that judgment over the situation.
So that's another reason people should go get the free chapter Thank you.
I really want people to pray stronger.
Be more confident to pray for the things that bring God's presence and God's proof of God onto the earth.
Well, in fact, that's the one final thing I wanted to ask of you.
I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds, and I've never asked this of any guests, but your words are so powerful.
Would it be appropriate if I asked you to offer a small prayer for our audience and for For their embracing of you, welcoming you to America, but blessings upon all of us in this country so that we might save this nation from destruction.
Yeah, well, if I may, I'd like the audience to pray and make sure that you come to Jesus.
If you're not sure yet about your salvation, Everything we're talking about points to the final end that Jesus is coming, and He's coming for a holy people.
So we can't meet a holy God if we have sin in our life.
So I just pray this.
If you would just receive, repent of your sins and receive the Lord, just pray this.
Dear Heavenly Father, please forgive me of all my sins, past, present, and in the future.
You know my heart and my life.
I surrender to you.
I believe that Jesus sacrificed his life on the cross and only his blood can wash away my sins.
I believe after three days he rose again from the dead.
I ask you to accept me, write my name in the book of life, and use my life in the time remaining.
I offer it to you, Lord.
Thank you for making me part of your family.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Bye.
Amen.
And I just want to pray over you.
If you're listening, you're already a Christian.
If you're sick in your body, if you're going through injustice and trouble, Father, I just pray, Lord, that a miracle would happen in each person's life, that they would know no weapon formed against them right now shall prosper.
Every tongue that is rising up against them in judgment, we condemn.
We have this authority because we are servants of the Lord and we have the name of Jesus.
Thank you for showing yourself strong on behalf of the listeners today.
Show yourself real today, in Jesus' name.
Amen.
Amen.

Your own government has the power to activate a kill switch on all telecommunications, instantly shutting down all private phone calls and texts.
An EMP weapon or solar flare can achieve the same result.
Rolling blackouts or permanent power outages will also take out the power supply to cell tower antennas, rendering mobile devices all but useless.
During these emergencies, how do you stay in touch with the important people in your life anywhere on the planet?
The answer is the Bivy Stick at sat123.com.
The Bivy Stick is a two-way satellite text messaging device that uses a satellite constellation, not cell towers, to send and receive text messages.

Welcome to today's sermon.
I'm Mike Adams and this is another sermon in this group of 100 sermons spanning 100 days.
And thank you for all your support and your suggestions.
And one of the suggestions was that we should mention right up front The passage from scripture that we are talking about today.
I think that's a great idea.
So I've started doing that.
And today we're talking about Matthew 24.
Yeah.
You knew eventually we were going to get to Matthew 24 because it's inescapable.
We have to talk about end times prophecies.
And of course Matthew 24 gives us a lot to deal with, a lot to talk about.
I do want to express a sense of caution and discernment.
I think one of the tendencies among those who teach Bible prophecy or scripture is very often to say that That this passage applies to right now.
It's today.
You know, it's our current time.
This is what's happening today and the church is under attack right now.
See, it's in Matthew 24.
And there are two parts to answer this in my view.
Number one is that the Christian church has always been under attack.
So that's nothing new.
And nations have always been at war, so that's nothing new.
You know, that's mentioned in Matthew 24, what is it?
Verse 7, For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Well, you know, to be clear, He may be speaking about our time, or he may be speaking about many times, because there have been famines before.
There was the Holodomor in Ukraine that was carried out, engineered by Stalin to starve millions of people to death.
On purpose.
And they did.
They took all the grain from the farms and they left people to die of starvation.
And right now there is sabotage of the food supply chain.
An engineered famine, if you will, is underway.
And we've also seen, of course, the bioweapons engineering of COVID vaccines and spike proteins and mRNA, self-replicating alien proteins, in essence alien to the human body.
And these qualify as pestilences.
But there have been other examples of that in years past as well.
So let us be wise in how we interpret this.
Just because the words ring true right now today doesn't mean that when this was written, perhaps by Matthew or not, we don't know with certainty that Matthew wrote all of the book of Matthew, but whenever it was written, It's a bit of a leap, I think, to believe that they were talking about, you know, the 2020s, let's say.
They may have been, or they may not have been, but there's a deeper principle in all of this, which is that history repeats itself.
And many of these types of things will happen again and again.
Which means that, to state these things originally in Matthew 24, It may indeed be speaking to many people of many ages, including us.
It doesn't have to speak to just one time period.
It could be intentionally speaking to many people spanning many epochs of time, and that indeed would be one of the ways, I think, that God would inspire people to write these words.
In other words, to reach people over many different time eras.
Now, there are some clues, by the way, in Matthew 24.
If we forward over to verse 29, it says, Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light.
The stars will fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all of the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
So what's really interesting about this is that we are looking up.
We're looking toward the sky, looking toward the heavens for signs in the heavens.
Now, one of the pastors who has strongly advocated this point of view and learning from watching the heavens is Pastor Steve Ciccolanti from Discover Church, who I will be interviewing shortly, and he has been gracious enough to provide his time and wisdom so that we could hold that interview.
And of course, I will bring you that interview as soon as it is available.
But what Pastor Ciccolanti says is that the wisdom from God and the wisdom of the scripture is written in the heavenly bodies, in the stars, in the sun and the moon, and, well, the astrological signs in some cases.
But also cosmic events in some cases.
And here in Matthew 24, verse 29, it seems to be speaking to a cosmic level event.
I mean, think about it.
The sun and moon are darkened.
The moon will not give its light.
It says, now I'm reading, the stars will fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
So when you see stars falling from the sky and the darkening of the sun and moon, What does that indicate in modern astrophysics, let's say?
Just looking at classic astronomy, stars are falling from the sky means that Earth is being impacted by probably a meteor field, which would indicate that something is coming closer to Earth that is carrying with it in its gravity well a lot of Smaller masses, you know, meteors or space rocks, let's just say.
Use common language.
And these space rocks then get pulled into Earth's gravity well as this larger object moves past Earth or, you know, swings nearby, let's say.
And then these meteors, these space rocks, fall from the sky and they light up the sky and they're streaking as bright lights.
But because of all of the impacts of these meteors on Earth, there would be a lot of dust thrown into the upper atmosphere, into the stratosphere, and then this dust would darken the sun and the moon.
So what this appears to be describing is a cosmic level impact event that what Jesus saw was that Earth would be struck by a series of meteorites.
And that this would darken the sun and the moon, and this would be a sign of the end times.
Now, of course, Earth has been struck many times by meteorites, or some have exploded in the atmosphere.
And one just a few years ago in Russia, by the way, streaked across the sky and exploded.
This was, I forgot what year, maybe 2020 or somewhere around then.
It exploded and it burst windows for, I think, hundreds of square kilometers around the bursting location in the air.
It did not hit the ground that we know of, or at least if it did, I'm not aware of it, because it burst in the sky.
It superheated and then exploded and was a giant boom in the sky that caused a tremendous amount of damage.
And there were others throughout history That also did the same thing.
Some notable ones.
One, I believe, in North America back in the 1800s in particular.
So the Earth is in a kind of cosmic shooting gallery of heavenly bodies.
But what's interesting to me is how the movement of those heavenly bodies and also solar eclipses, the movement of the Sun, the Moon, and Earth and how they relate together, It appears to have been engineered or set in advance so that we could receive messages from our Creator in times of great need.
Because don't forget in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, how were those cities destroyed by God?
As his wrath was unleashed against them for their filth and their perversion and their abandonment of morality and their violation of God's rules.
Well, they were hit with giant space rocks, basically, and meteors falling out of the sky and destroying the cities of sin, you could say.
Well, right now, arguably, what's happening on Earth is far worse than Sodom and Gomorrah.
Now, that's debatable, I suppose.
Some people might say, well, no, you don't even know.
You have no idea what happened in Gomorrah.
I mean, oh, they were doing this and that.
Well, okay.
But I also saw the opening of the Paris Olympics, and I saw that they used drag queens and pedophiles to mock Christ in a depiction of the Last Supper.
And that the Olympics is the same organization that bans any Christian symbols to be worn by athletes or to be shown by athletes.
So at the Olympics, you are not allowed to express your alignment with God or to express your belief in Christ, but you are celebrated if you mock Christ and if you mock the church.
And that is a globalist organization That is widely viewed, widely, well, at least it used to be, you know, widely dignified by most people in most nations, perhaps not anymore.
But when you have organizations like that with global influence that are clearly turning against God, mocking God, and promoting ideas of pedophilia, grooming, and transgenderism, you know, mutilations of children, then it seems like if God were going to intervene,
On our modern society that we're about at that time when he may be ready to unleash some things against this planet and they might be meteors.
Because remember this, God works through what we would call natural disasters.
Sometimes God will destroy A civilization.
I mean, ancient Israel, for example, or ancient Egypt.
You know, God unleashing the locusts and the plagues against the Pharaoh to try to force him to set the Israelites free.
Well, how many times has God used wind or storms or floods or droughts or locusts or giant space rocks falling out of the sky in order to send a message or a flood?
The great deluge.
to cleanse the world of its genetic pollution from the fallen angels fornicating with humans and the race of giants and all of that which perhaps we'll get into in another time another sermon but god has used the laws of the world god has used the powers of nature In order to send messages,
sometimes to send warnings but sometimes to inflict wrath upon nations or upon people who have turned against God.
And thus, we should not be surprised.
And that's why I think this passage from Matthew 24 is so instructive.
We should not be surprised if, given the intense evil of our world today, and how much Satan has taken over the institutions, the pop culture, the governments, you know, all of it, medicine, science, you name it, we should not be surprised if there is a point where God intervenes With his wrath in a way that tears down the cities of evil or the cities of sin.
For example, right now today, New York City is the abortion capital of America.
And there are other cities like Seattle and Portland and San Francisco and so on that are steeped in sin and lawlessness and filth.
And prostitution and child trafficking and drug abuse and addiction and violence and so on.
And this is what the leaders of those cities intend, which is why they defund police and legalize drugs and so on.
They're creating the scenario of Sodom and Gomorrah in today's modern cities.
So we should not be surprised when God reacts to that eventually, With the same kind of reaction that was unleashed against Sodom and Gomorrah.
Except today, of course, the scale of the sin is so much larger.
The number of people living on Earth is so much larger.
You know, nearly 8 billion people for the moment, anyway.
And the degree of the sin is so much greater.
So if a few space rocks fell out of the sky in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, What do you think might happen today?
And I think it might be that all of the major cities could be hit with impacts of incoming meteors.
And some of you listening, if you don't think that God is doing that, you might say, well, it's not God, that's just gravity.
Okay, great.
Well, who created gravity?
And who put the rocks there?
And who set them on the trajectory toward Earth?
I mean, the whole mechanism of the universe traces back to the creator, to intelligent design.
Who created the laws?
Who set things in motion?
Who created mass?
Who exploded the stars or created the laws of physics that caused stars to explode?
Who created the table of elements, you know, through fusion and fission and atomic rules?
Well, it didn't come out of nothing.
Despite what mainstream physicists believe, they think that everything can come from nothing, and then they claim to be followers of logic.
Well, it's not logical that everything came from nothing unless you have a creator.
If you have a creator, then yes, everything can come from nothing because he commanded it.
He created it.
So he set the universe into motion, which means that the motion of the sun, the moon, the stars, the planets, the space rocks, all of it is his doing, not our doing, because we're not out there lassoing the moon and changing the moon's orbit.
We don't have the ability to change what the sun does.
We can't control the sun.
God controls the sun, or technically God set the sun into motion.
And what really controls the sun's actions right now are simply the laws of physics and gravity and conservation of momentum and You know fusion and all the other laws that God created so the Sun as it acts or the the space rocks that hit Earth are all a result of the mind of God when you trace it back that's that's where you end up it's all out of the mind of God and God is not happy with humanity
today just as he was unhappy with the early Israelites in the Old Testament who kept turning against him God will lay down the law.
We don't know when.
We don't know what that's going to look like.
But Matthew 24 potentially gives us maybe a glimpse of the patterns that we are likely to see as all of this unfolds.
So pay attention to this scripture.
It offers a lot of wisdom.
Now in the second part of today's sermon, we're going to talk about preparedness as a biblical principle.
God wants you to be prepared.
And it's interesting because right after Matthew 24, which warns us of events to come, or perhaps some of those events have already happened in the past, or maybe they're reflective of things yet to happen in our future.
Either way, there's a principle of preparedness that is unveiled then in Matthew 25.
Right?
The ten virgins with the oil lamps, and oh, some of them didn't have enough oil.
I mean, that's...
Right there, it's just back to back, sort of right in our faces.
It's like, here's Matthew 24, all these crazy things might happen, you know, space rocks falling out of the sky, the destruction of the pestilence and famine and whatever, even the destruction of the city of Jerusalem.
Think about that in terms of modern day events and all the various risks and various warring factions that are at play at the moment.
But then bring that into the very next chapter, chapter 25, which is a message of preparedness.
So yes, God wants you to be prepared in many different layers, many different forms, body, mind, and spirit.
So yes, He wants you to be spiritually prepared.
He wants you to be mentally prepared.
And also physically prepared with the common sense things, you know, food and medicine and means of transportation, means of communication, you know, what have you.
These kinds of common sense things.
And importantly, preparedness is not the same thing as hoarding.
And in modern society, you know, governments and corporate media, they tend to say that if you prepare at all, that you are a hoarder.
If you bought extra toilet paper during COVID, for example, they said, oh, you're hoarding toilet paper.
Or if you buy extra food, you're a food hoarder.
Now, while the Bible does speak out against hoarding or just sitting on things where they are not being put to use, your intention in terms of preparedness is, I hope, I believe, To put those things into the hands of those who need them during times of crisis.
So it all comes down to your intention.
This is very interesting because that's what Paul the Apostle was arguing, I believe in 1 Corinthians, which I covered previously.
And that's interesting because as Paul the Apostle was arguing, and I think it's in 2 Corinthians, where Paul was arguing about You know, whether modern day Christians need to practice all of the ancient rituals of the Torah.
And there's one section in there where he's covering the topic of whether it's appropriate to eat meat from an animal that was originally sacrificed to the Roman gods.
Like, if you're a Christian...
Can you eat the flesh of an animal sacrificed to the Roman gods if you are hungry and you want to put the flesh of the animal to a good use?
And what was his answer?
His answer was that it depends on the intention and it depends on the circumstances.
If your intention is to, in your own private life and not to send the wrong message to other Christians, if your intention is just to If
you don't really believe in Christianity because you're willing to Eat animals, sacrifice to other gods and other churches, then that would be inappropriate in that social setting.
So it's the same act, but it's the intention behind it that matters.
This is very important to realize when it comes to prepping, because when we are prepping, it can be the very same act of, let's say, stockpiling food, which is something that I've done quite a lot as a company, But what is your intention of stockpiling food?
Is your intention to just have it all for yourself and never share, never give to anybody else, never help another family?
If so, that's hoarding.
But if your intention is to help others, if your intention is to distribute in times of need to those who are in need, That's not hoarding.
That's preparedness.
It could be the same stockpile of food, the exact same size, the same number of boxes or the same number of pallets, but it's your intention that makes the difference.
And that's what Paul teaches us.
I think that's in 2 Corinthians.
But he wrote many letters, not just two, but that's what's published as 2 Corinthians.
Anyway, Think about Paul's wise words.
Think about the intention of what you're doing.
Why are you intending to do this?
So for me, as you know, I've talked about this long before I even began recording sermons.
I talked about what I call community level preparedness.
And if you follow my other podcast for any length of time, you've heard me describe that as the fact that we've been blessed with so many resources thanks to your support and thanks to donations from various companies and various sponsors and so on.
We've been blessed with an assortment of products that can help a lot of people in very difficult times, products that can help during pandemics or products that can help with nutrition or, you know, sanitization of medical supplies, products that can help.
I mean, just many different ways.
Right.
And so I have long engaged in what I call community level preparedness.
And as you may recall, my plan has been that if things hit the fan, so to speak, I like to say now the shift has hit the fan because things are shifting dramatically.
There's a massive shift historically happening.
So I say the shift has hit the fan.
Then as necessary, I will distribute these items regularly.
To the community or through community leaders and you know something really amazing happened the other day where I got connected just through Providence to one of the community preparedness response leaders who's also a pastor I had no idea that that was going to come up.
I just found that out after meeting him.
And now we have that connection.
And I told him, you know, call on us during times of need because we have infrastructure, we have loading docks, we have forklifts, we have food manufacturing capabilities and bottling capabilities.
And lots of resources and staff and all these other things that are necessary.
So in times of need, call on us so that we can contribute to those in need, whether it's flood victims or war victims or famine victims or whatever the case may be.
And because that intention is what drives those actions, Then even though we are sitting on an enormous stockpile of food and food ingredients and supplement ingredients and so on, we are not hoarding.
We are in the process of planning for distribution.
And that distribution will be determined by real-world events.
And that's what I believe God teaches us time and time again throughout Scripture and also through life's lessons.
It is to be ready for anything But be ready in the spirit of helping others.
Now, granted, you have to help yourself.
Sometimes even, dare I say, first, because if you don't have enough to eat, how are you going to help anybody else?
If you're starving and weak, it's just like on an airplane, if there's a depressurization of the Well, because if you go unconscious as the parent, then you can't help your child anyway.
So first, make sure that you have oxygen.
And then put the oxygen mask on your child.
Also, younger children could go longer or they may be more resilient to hypoxia type of scenario, while older adults typically May not be able to withstand the same amount of loss of oxygen.
So put the mask on yourself first and then help those in need.
Same thing with preparedness.
Make sure you've got yourself squared away.
Do you have enough food?
Do you have a means of personal security and safety?
Do you have emergency medicine?
Do you have emergency communications?
You know, all of these things.
Do you have sanitizing materials on hand in case there's an outbreak or a pandemic or a plague or whatever the case may be?
Make sure you've covered your bases.
Also fuel, right?
Maybe diesel fuel.
Maybe it's some amount of gasoline.
Just be cautious.
Do so safely.
But also flashlights and candles and all these other things that are part of preparedness.
Make sure you've got yourself squared away to where you can function.
You can survive.
And from that place, then you can begin to help others.
And if you are so blessed with enough financial resources, then you can begin to stockpile extra so that you can make donations.
Now, you may choose to donate to a local church, and then when people come to you, you direct them to the church.
If someone shows up at your door, for example, maybe a young family and they look really hungry, you need to be able to say with sincerity, If you've already given your food to a local church, you need to be able to direct them to that church and to communicate that to them.
Look, we're happy to help you.
We've given our food to the church for organized distribution by the church.
So here's how you get to the church.
Walk east or whatever, and then they will help you there.
We've already given our donations to the church.
But that's up to you to decide.
Because it can become a very chaotic and sometimes a dangerous situation if you begin inviting many, many people to your front door.
People who are increasingly desperate or starving or lacking shelter or whatever.
And in times of desperation, sometimes people can do some very crazy things.
They can become aggressive or demanding.
Someone might, you know, put a gun to your head and say, you know, give me all your food or give me enough food for my son or daughter.
There's nothing I won't do for my children.
And at one level, you can understand where they are coming from.
They're clearly desperate for survival.
But on the other hand, it's not wise to allow yourself to be put into that situation.
It's better to let an organized group handle that distribution, especially a church where individuals, or at least most people, except those who are truly, truly evil, they are a lot less likely to, let's say, to put a gun to the head of church leaders or the pastor.
You know, they're very unlikely to raid a church.
Unless they're just truly evil and demonic.
And granted, those types of people do exist out there.
But with the community of a church, it's very likely that the church would have a watchful eye over the food resources and would have some kind of organized system of helping to get those resources into as many hands as possible.
And would even have maybe 24-hour staff staying there at the church and keeping an eye on the resources.
So I intend to support local churches with physical goods and food supplies and chlorine dioxide and many other things.
But whatever you choose to do is, of course, completely up to you.
I just encourage you to be prepared and get a little extra prepared.
Because I believe that we're about to face some extremely difficult times and that many people will be driven to desperation.
It's going to really try your patience and your spirit and your sense of fairness or morality based on what's coming our way.
You're going to have to make some very difficult decisions.
And so be mentally and spiritually prepared for that and be ready with a sense of discernment.
So that you know what you can do in terms of helping people versus what's too much or what has gone too far.
Even though you may have an unlimited desire to help others, you will still have limited resources.
We're all in that same boat.
We have limited resources.
And so we must practice discernment and wisdom and safety, even in the act of helping others.
One of the things that we found out years ago is that it's very difficult to give away food and supplements.
Most of the non-profit food distribution organizations Do not want food, believe it or not.
They want money.
And then they use the money to buy large-scale commercial food from other companies that they're used to dealing with.
So when we wanted to donate food and supplements, for example, vitamin C, Which was a non-GMO vitamin C. It was very difficult to find an organization that would take that donation in the form of supplements and then distribute those to others.
Because logistics are very complex and costly.
But thankfully we did find an organization that was able to take that donation.
And we delivered many pallets of supplements.
I filmed a video about that years ago and posted it.
I know it's out there if you want to find it.
But we were able to donate that food.
I can't say how well this is going to work in whatever circumstances are coming because there will be, I believe, very large numbers of desperate people.
And there will be a lot of chaos in the events that are likely coming.
Can't say exactly when or what that's going to look like.
But I believe that God places upon our hearts a message of wisdom.
Prepare now for what's coming and then you will be okay and you'll be able to help others be okay at the same time.
And that's how you build strength in your local community.
That's how you make it through these things together.
Every person that you can help...
Help them overcome an infection or a sickness or famine is one more person who can then contribute to your local group and all the things that you need, you know, food and farming and security or transportation or what have you, in order to get back on your feet following any kind of disaster event.
So preparedness is next to godliness.
They say cleanliness is next to godliness, and perhaps that's true as well.
But I would say preparedness is even more important than cleanliness, in a sense.
It's great to have no clutter, or maybe that refers to personal hygiene, which is important.
But preparedness is also right up there on the list.
So do your best to get prepared, stay prepared, and be prepared to help as many people around you as you can.
And think about those scenarios in advance.
And thank you for listening to my sermon today.
I've got many more yet to come.
You can find them at the same place where you found this sermon.
And God bless you, and thank you for all your support.
