Truth Talks
A Biblical Response to Terrorism, Islam & Antisemitism
-
Hosea 4:1,6
Vs. 1 - Hear the word of the Lord, O people of Israel! The Lord has brought charges against you, saying: “There is no faithfulness, no kindness, no knowledge of God in your land.”
Vs. 6 - My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
The absence of truth is always an invitation for the presence of evil.
“Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me!”
If anyone should be speaking about the HOLY LAND, it should be God’s HOLY PEOPLE.
Daniel 11:32b
Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.
The on-going conflict in the Middle East requires Christians to meaningfully engage.
Psalm 122:6-9
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “6 May those who love you be secure. 7 May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.” 8 For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.” 9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,I will seek your prosperity.
Deal with Misconception & Deception
To Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem is not to oppose Arab peoples as an entity or to oppose the rights of Arabs living in Israel to have a peaceful, politically secure, and prosperous life.
God has no disposition against any human being, certainly not Arabs who are the offspring of Ishmael, the other son of Abraham.
Colossians 3:11
In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us. - NLT
To Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem doesn’t require an anti-Arab stance and doesn’t require us to be loveless toward other peoples.
1 John 3:16
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
The relentless animosities of sectors of the Arab world, what we label as terrorist groups such as Hamas, are not merely political causes but are driven by spiritual powers that will not be satisfied until Israel ceases to exist.
“Israel is a country that has no place on our land…We must remove it because it constitutes a security, military and political catastrophe to the Arab and Islamic nation. We are not ashamed to say this.” - Ghazi Hamad. Member of Hamas Political Bureau
Isaiah 62:6-7
6 I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest, 7 and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.
Clarify Our History
“Those who fail to know their history, will allow others to revise it.” @ddeguara
Understanding the role of the rise of Zionism, the Balfour Declaration, the League of Nations resolution and the establishment of Israel as a legal state helps to bring clarity to a general ignorance of history many maintain.
Theodore Hertzl and Zionism: In 1897, and under the leadership of a Hungarian Jew named Theodore Hertzl, the movement called Zionism was begun.
Zionism - holds that Jews must have a homeland to be secure and free from persecution in the world.
The Balfour Declaration 1917: Since the 16th century, Palestine and the land of Israel were largely desolate and their cities left as ruins.
The League of Nations: Soon after, the global body that was the precursor of the United Nations issued a directive in 1922 making it legal for Jews to purchase land in the territory and establish small farming communities (kibbutzim).
The United Nations voted to create a state of Israel and Palestine on November 29th, 1947
The United Nations and Israel’s statehood: On May 14th,1948 in response to the horror of the Holocaust in Europe, the global community established the now resettled Jewish territory as a legal nation, “giving birth to a nation in a day.”
This was both a legal fulfillment on the world stage and a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.
Ezekiel 37:21-22
21 “Then say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 22 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again.
Isaiah 66:8
“Who has heard of such a thing? Who has seen such things? Can a land be born in one day? Or can a nation be brought forth in a moment? As soon as Zion was in labor, she also brought forth her sons.
Never in the history of the world had such a thing happened before—but God keeps His word. As foretold here and in Ezek 37:21, 22, Israel became a recognized nation, actually “born in one day.” After being away from their homeland for almost 2,000 years, the Jews were given a national homeland in Palestine by the Balfour Declaration in November 1917. In 1922, the League of Nations gave Great Britain the mandate over Palestine. On May 14, 1948, Great Britain withdrew her mandate, and immediately Israel was declared a sovereign state, and her growth and importance among nations was astonishing. - Amplified Bible Study Notes
The Core Problem – On May 15th, 1948 the Arab world united against the legal establishment of the state of Israel, refused to adhere to global laws and expectations
Engage in Worship
Engage in Prayer
Engage in Intercession
There is no chasm in society that cannot be firmly and permanently bridged by intercession; there is no feud or dislike that cannot be healed by the same exercise of love. - Abraham Wright

(00:05) ready to get into the word today I decided early last week I was going to put a pause on what I originally planned as I prayerfully observed what is going on in our world locally I actually showed my support for some local political leaders who are Jewish and quite frankly I don't always agree with their political views uh but they had my support as they were personally experiencing and anti-Semitism in our city and just like I would go to bat and if you've been
(01:06) going to real life for any length of time just like I would go to bat for anyone else experiencing racism of any sort I was told in a message by someone that once respected me that God was going to judge me for my stance against Palestine which I did not say at all by the way I didn't say anything about standing uh standing against Palestinians I simply liked you know the little heart on Twitter I simply liked a post of a local leader who was experiencing anti-Semitism and I liked a post that was standing against terrorism and the
(01:54) actions of Hamas how many you know there's a big difference to respond biblically to terrorism radical Islam and anti-Semitism is not to stand against any other ethnicity it's to stand against the evil forces behind the ideologies that drive groups like Hamas and just so you know I'm not um I'm not parodying any news media or Channel this is from my study and seeking the Lord the atrocities of War and the loss of innocent lives is heartbreaking and so is Terrorism radical Islamic ideologies and anti-Semitism when it goes unchecked as
(02:50) history reveals through the Holocaust when 6 million Jews were killed a few years a a few years ago we created a series called Truth talks everybody say truth talks to address complex issues in our culture and our world and there's no doubt there's complexity and confusion regarding the war between Israel and Gaza and the mass free Palestine protests happening around the world but here's what I know as Believers we can't act like it's not happening and ignore it and hoping that will just go
(03:31) away we must learn how to respond biblically and responsibly so we can engage spiritually and practically and not C to the spirit of the age Hosea 4 verse 1 and six hear the word of the Lord oh people of Israel the Lord has brought charges against you saying there is no faithfulness no kindness no knowledge of God in our land another translation says it this way the Lord brings a charge against the inhabitants of the Land There is no truth or Mercy or knowledge of God in the land verse six my people are destroyed for a lack of
(04:28) knowledge because you have rejected knowledge I also will reject you from being priest for me because you have forgotten the law of your God I also will forget your children the case being made against Israel because I love to preach out of context so I'm just not picking picking and choosing to create a great message I'm I want to give you some context about what's happening when Hosea is prophesying the case being made against Israel during the time period of Hosea is that there was no truth or Mercy in
(05:08) the land this is what we need to understand as Believers is that the absence of Truth is always an invitation for the presence of evil because of the absence of Truth we witness the acknowledgment of God missing in Hosea from Israel's National and social life and the results of immorality chaos confusion and a total breakdown of society this is Hosea chapter 4 we don't have time to read the whole thing but you can read it it is this disintegration of community and National life that we read about in Hosea that is
(05:49) all too familiar in our contemporary world as we witness the result of the lack of knowledge pertaining to the spiritual political and social turmoil that is happening in our world especially as it pertains to what is happening in Israel and Gaza this is what we see happening in our world and even in our own country right now because anytime you take truth out of the equation evil will come knocking at your door I want to just say right up front just in case you didn't know the meta Narrative of scripture in other words
(06:30) the entire story of scripture is God is God dealing with his Chosen People Israel in their spiritual struggle and yet God has never gives up on Israel or Jewish people just like he hasn't given up on you and I or anybody else so this listen this is not a Jew versus Arab message in this particular passage the priests how you know priests have a responsibility how you know pastors have a responsibility the priest whose primary Duty was to teach the law of God to the people in Hosea had failed to do so the result is that the
(07:23) priests come on how you know as goes the leader come on as goes the followers the result was that the priests the people and the nation alike stumble and perish Hosea 4-5 because why you have rejected knowledge I also will reject you from be from being priest for me the knowledge that is being rejected in Hosea In this passage means more more than simply a mental understanding of God's word it actually involves a deep-seated spiritual relationship with the Lord involving commitment of the heart as well as the
(08:15) mind how many know we've got to think correctly as Believers today in other words you cannot be a Christian in 2023 who is spiritually engaged and mentally checked out what what about what's going on in the world let me just say that again since I stumbled you cannot be a Christian in 2023 who is spiritually engaged and mentally checked out about what's going on in the world it challenges the the signs of the times the things that are happening in our world Listen they should challenge us they do challenge I was challenged
(08:59) this week I've been challenged actually the last several weeks and the Lord has been taking me on a journey I'm not an end times expert I'm not a an expert in eschatology I yeah I had to pass all those classes to get through Bible college but the last few weeks the Lord's been taking me on a journey it challenges us it should challenge us the things that are happening in this world it ch ches church leaders and Christians not only to have a knowledge a saving knowledge of their Lord but in the context of this
(09:39) truth talk that we're having today it also requires a knowledge of the Lord's land the holy land it's been interesting because in 2019 we again I mentioned this last week we took a group of 32 to the Holy Land and so all those pictures are popping up cuz we went in November of 2019 nobody told me that actually that's not a great time to go to Israel because beginning in yam kapor uh when yam kapor hits actually that's when the missiles start striking in fact when we were there three over 300 missiles were
(10:18) launched into Israel and we were like should we be scared and because listen it is a way of life they're like what do you mean what are you worried about what do you mean what am I worried about as your pastor I have a responsibility to teach you the word you cannot teach the word accurately without understanding the land of Israel and the City of Jerusalem through God's eyes Israel is mentioned in the Bible over 2500 times it is mentioned in both the Old and the new in fact Jesus wept over Jerusalem and is it's often referred to
(11:14) the promised land we've all heard that right or the land of Israel Jerusalem the city of Jerusalem is mentioned over 800 times in scripture for the record the Quran doesn't make one mention of Jerusalem if anyone should be speaking about the Holy Land it should be God's holy people there's no reason for silence there's no reason for confusion there's no reason for chaos there's no reason to suck them to a spirit of intimidation and fear that right now is being released in the Earth
(11:54) for the believer there is no reason to suck them to the spirit of fear 2 Timothy 1:7 it's not on the screen the lord gave it to me last night I'm reading out of the Amplified for God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear and it's easy listen if you're not careful listen it's easy to open yourself up to a spirit of fear right now right in your living room watching whatever uh News Channel you are come on how you know the spirit of fear knows no bounds and if we're not careful we'll
(12:35) open our lives to it and will cower to it it's easy to find ourselves doing that I want to challenge you when you encounter the spirit of fear listen don't run away from it run at it run at it and how do we run at it we run at it by diving into the word of of God we run at it listen listen not not in our human strength listen not in hostility or hatred but we run at it like this humility humility not hostility we pray God's kingdom would come his will be done on earth that is in heaven so he says this God did not give us a spirit
(13:27) of fear but yet we see the spirit of fear literally being ushered in by the enemy every minute come on every if you're watching the news you know he has given us a spirit of Power of Love I like this and sound judgment and personal discipline come on how you know we've got to discipline ourselves come on to dig a Little Deeper Than Just a Sunday morning message that's going to make you feel good I'm trying my my heart today is to get you to get to give you something to stand on we we actually I was in the barber
(14:14) shop bunch of guys were talking about talking how you know guys like to talk man how you know I'm just going to say that half the people don't know what they're talking about I'm just saying especially in a barber shop where they're taking shots at tequila and all that stuff they have no idea what I'm like what I'm like it's like Jesus help us he has given us a spirit of power love and of sound judgment and personal discipline abilities that result in a calm well-balanced mind and
(14:54) self-control that's the Amplified version 2 Timothy 1:7 there is no reason not to have confidence or boldness in speaking directly to these issues if we have basic everybody say basic basic biblical knowledge and historical facts basic knowledge and historical facts the land in question do we have that map Jana I don't know if we have that map we do if you could put it up there if you have it if not I'll show it to you next week we don't have it that's all right the land that is in question is the most documented land on
(15:42) planet Earth and it just so happens we have one of the greatest resources at our fingertips the Holy Bible as Believers we shouldn't verify our facts through Tik Tok in fact if you if if if you're just have any kind of discernment and and you just study this a little bit you'll see that they're shutting down these channels of terrorist groups because they're just feeding a generation propaganda in fact you you can see this you can you can go do the research yourself I won't do it for you we
(16:28) shouldn't leave it up to the news media we shouldn't leave it up to just a podcast you can learn from a podcast but just the we shouldn't ignore it as someone else's problem we shouldn't be passive in our posture in taking a Biblical stance we shouldn't leave it up to culture because as I've mentioned before we don't take our cues from culture we should take our cues from scripture Daniel 11:32 I say verse B it says those who do wickedly against the Covenant he shall corrupt with flattery but the people who
(17:05) know their God shall be strong and carry out great exploits can we just can we just quote that together listen the but the people who know their God shall be strong and carry out great exploits with that said it's important to know that just because we don't fully understand something doesn't excuse us to not do anything they call that sins of omission sins of commission are things that you know are wrong and you do them sins of omission are things that you know you should do but you don't do
(17:50) them the ongoing war in Israel and Gaza requires Christians to meaningfully and mindfully engage but how do we make a difference anybody ever asked yourself that question I've been asking myself a lot how can we make a difference the answer is found in clearing up confusion so that we can engage in worship prayer and intercession I told the staff this week we facing a bunch of adversity as a team and so we we came together in our first 20 minutes I just turned on the the worship music and we just began to
(18:27) intercede on how many you know sometimes praying is better than planning and we just began to intercede and and I closed that time and I told each and one I said this is more than just a job we are in a spiritual battle news flash Church come on this is more than just a Sunday Come On Fun hour come on this come on you are in a spiritual battle and the answer is found in clearing cing up confusion so we can engage in worship prayer and intercession and I believe being obedient to what God is telling us to do the hesitancy to obey scripture and be
(19:11) more influenced by The Narrative of culture should concern us when I see what's happening in our world right now I'm reminded of scriptures like this again this is not on the screen this is a holy spirit early morning download all right Matthew 7:13-14 enter through the narrow gate for wide is the gate and Broad is the road that leads to destruction and many enter through it but small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it I'm not saying the scripture implies we think one way about the current
(19:46) crisis or one approach to the complexity of things happening in Israel and Gaza that's nearly impossible especially to get it done in about 35 minutes but what I'm saying is we better be careful about what train we're jumping on because they're not all going to take you to the same place and there are two practical things some of y'all nervous you just don't know what to do you just that's all right there are two practical things we can do to make a spiritual difference in the Middle East no matter where we live
(20:22) Psalm 122 verse 6-9 says this pray for the Peace of to Jerusalem May those who love you be secure May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels for the sake of my family and friends I will say peace be within you for the sake of the house of the Lord Our God I will seek your Prosperity let me give you the first practical thing we can do as Believers and it is this to deal with misconception and deception that we're being fed on a daily basis listen the enemy when when you get to verses like this and you
(21:02) hesitate and you begin to question God can I really pray that listen the enemy doesn't want us to unite in prayer so he divides Us by air let me just give you some Revelation for this verse so if you think that you're taking sides because you're praying a prayer that God asks us to pray let me just give you some Revelation can I give you some Revelation to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem is not to oppose Arab peoples as an entity or to oppose the rights of Arabs living in Israel to have a peaceful politically secure and
(21:41) prosperous life In fact when you're praying for the Peace of Jerusalem you're praying for both Jews and Arabs and many other ethnicities this is why God listen this is why God has us pray for cities because they are the most concentrated most multiethnic places on Earth it was like if it would be like if I told you like Hey we're going to pray for Sacramento how many you know Sacramento is one of the most diverse cities in the nation we wouldn't be just praying for people that were born here and raised
(22:16) here we' been praying literally the world is at our door stop doorstep we live in one of the most diverse ZIP codes in all of our nation listen when we pray for nomus listen we're literally praying for the entire world the modern city of Jerusalem is full of Jews it's has Christians Muslims Israelis Palestinians and countless other nationalities and so lifting up this multiethnic city and praying for peace within its walls is also a prayer for Unity and Harmony between every Community how you know if God could do
(22:56) it in Jerusalem come on he could do it [Applause] anywhere so when I'm praying for the Peace of Jerusalem yes I'm asking God to protect her but I'm not taking sides between Palestinians or Jews I'm praying that people would be reconciled to God and to one another praying for biblical peace means this means I'm praying for this exemption from the rage and Havoc of War that's what that word peace means praying for the peace right now of Jerusalem a multiethnic city means that I'm praying
(23:41) for the exemption from the rage and Havoc of War come on how you know that region could use that right now we're praying when we pray biblical peace for Jerusalem we're praying peace between individuals Harmony and Unity we're praying for security safety prosperity and listen to this Felicity which means intense happiness right now there's so much hate in the world how you know we could use some intense happiness another misconception or deception we have to deal with is this God has no disposition against any human
(24:21) beings certainly not Arabs who are The Offspring of ishmail the other son of Abraham Genesis 1612 15 you read it Colossians 3:11 says in this new life everybody say new life it doesn't matter if you're a Jew or Gentile circumcised or uncircumcised barbaric uncivilized slave or free Christ is all that mattered everybody say Christ is all that matters and he lives in all of us to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem doesn't require an anti-arab stance and doesn't require us to be hostile towards other people we just particip
(24:58) participated in communion 1 John 3:16 this is how we know what love is Jesus Christ laid down his life for us and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and our sisters and then last deception we have to deal with is the Relentless animosities of sectors of the Arab world are not merely political causes but they are driven by spiritual powers that will not be satisfied until Israel ceases to exist this is the metan narrative scripture let me just share a quote with you this was said by a guy by the name
(25:42) of gazi Hamad said this Israel is a country that has no place on on our land we must remove it because it constitutes a security military and political catastrophe to the Arab and Islamic Nation we are not ashamed to say this this wasn't said 10 years ago 20 years ago 30 years ago this was said three days ago why is gazi humad not afraid to say something so horrific because anti-Semitism is the original racism and hatred for the Jewish peoples has always been driven by a demonic Force read your Bible the forces opposed to Israel are
(26:24) not simply those of people who are just anti-Semitic or racist Semitic or racist there are spiritual forces greater than Humanity forces that cannot be overthrown politically or by the power of persuasion these forces can only be broken by intercessory prayer where principalities and powers are cast down this is why Isaiah 626 to7 and I believe God is raising up Watchmen in this hour I have posted Watchmen on your walls Jerusalem they will never be silent or night you who call on the Lord give yourselves no rest and give him no rest
(26:58) till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise on the earth so we have to deal with misconception and he are you guys still with me yes secondly we have to clarify our history and I'm almost done there is I don't I don't want you to get I love history but I don't want to bog you down or bore you down so I'm I'm going to keep it I'm going to summarize it is that all right there is a prevailing ignorance of History yes and most of us have heard Winston Churchill's quote that says this
(27:32) those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it but as it relates to this point of clarifying our history I wanted to tweak the quote I wanted to tweak that quote and come up with one with my own is that all right those who fail to know their history will allow others to revise it the history of the middle the middle east is long and complex however the essential issues are not difficult to understand everybody say essential in fact I want to give you four events in history modern history that led to the Fulfillment of biblical
(28:14) prophecy four events in modern history that led to the Fulfillment of biblical prophecy the truth is is the Jews have been given legal permission to occupy The Land by the world Community understanding the role again this is historic things I'm just going to just give me some time stay with me all right understanding the role of the rise of Z early Zionism the bow for declaration the League of Nations resolution and the establishment of Israel as a legal State helps to bring Clarity to a general ignorance of
(28:52) History many maintain how you know we've got to listen my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because you have rejected knowledge I will also reject you the first clarifying historical event we need to pay attention to is Theodore Herzel and Zionism in 1897 under the leadership of a Hungarian Jew named Theodore Herzel the movement called Zionism was begun now Zionism in its basic form because it is evolved it is a complex subject we do not have time to dig into it but I'm talking about in its Inception in its beginning forms
(29:40) holds that Jews must have a Homeland to be secure and free from the persecution of the World when they were exiled by the Romans Jews were expected to assimilate in the different nations of the world they they were the only people group in existence without a Homeland and Zionism holds that Jews must have a Homeland to be secure and free from persecution in the world how did Theodor Herzel a secular writer who didn't know anything about Judaism transform an ancient longing into a modern movement that resulted in the
(30:23) establishment of the state of Israel the short answer is anti- ISM his goal was to find a Homeland a refuge for E European Jews these Jews were experiencing an increase in persecution all over Europe he is noted as a modernday Moses Herzel never saw the country he envisioned but due to his actions and the actions of the leaders of that day they that followed in 1948 the state of Israel came into being the next clarifying his historical event is the bow for declaration the bow for declaration in 197 since the 16th
(31:07) century Palestine and the land of Israel were largely desolate and their cities left as ruins again these are just four events everybody say four four listen that if you have these these things right here you can have a conversation with anybody you could have a conversation with anybody you guys with me all right after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I the British occupied the territory and established a mandate declaration giving the Jews the right to reoccupy the land that's the
(31:44) bow for Declaration of 1917 in 1922 the League of Nations soon after the global body the League of Nations was the precursor to the United Nations they issued a directive in 1922 making it legal for Jews to P purchase land in the territory and establish small farming communities called kitum everybody say kitum I don't even know that that's how you say it probably not but that's it you know a little bit of Hebrew right there all right and then the United Nations and Israel statehood on May 14th 1948 in response to the horror of the
(32:23) Holocaust which some Even in our day revisionists are saying some are even saying that didn't happen which I've been to the museum and those at women we've been to the museum let me just say it happened on May 14th 1948 in response to the horror of the Holocaust in Europe the global Community established the now resettled Jewish territory as a nation giving birth to a nation in a day now those four events let me just give you this was both the legal fulfillment in other words they went through the due
(32:59) process of the world Community not only the legal fulfillment on the world stage but a fulfillment of biblical prophecy this is where it gets exciting for me how you know when it gets in God's word come on turn to Ezekiel 37:22 and 23 it says then say to them thus says the Lord God surely I will take the children of Israel from among the Nations Jews were scattered throughout the world Listen surely I will take the children of Israel from among the Nations wherever they have gone and will gather them from every
(33:36) side and bring them into their own land and I will make them one nation in the land on the mountains of Israel and one King shall be king over them all they shall no longer be two Nations nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again what's if you look in the Amplified Bible the study notes say this never in history of the world had such a thing happened before this is in the study notes but God keeps his word as foretold here in Ezekiel 37 Israel became recogniz a recognized Nation actually born in one day after
(34:15) being away from their Homeland for almost 2,000 years the Jews were given a national homeland in Palestine by the bow for declaration in November 1917 in 1922 the league of Nations gave Great Britain the Mandate over Palestine on May 14th 1948 Great Britain withdrew her mandate and immediately Israel was declared a sovereign state and her growth and importance among nations was astonishing listen this is scripture Isaiah 668 says this who has heard of such a thing who has seen such things can a land be born in one day can a nation be
(35:03) born in one day come on not without God it can't but With God all things are possible can a lamb be born in one day or can a nation be brought forth in a moment as soon as Zion was in labor she also brought forth her sons everybody say that clarifies it claries but here's the core of the problem that were in the midst of today on May 15th a day after Israel became a nation on May 15th 1948 the Arab world United against the legal establishment of the state of Israel and refused to adhere to Global laws and expectations
(35:45) and most importantly refused to uh refus to help their own refugees still remaining in the Jewish Zone the situation as it exists today in the Middle East is made worse by the denial of the root of the problem many not all everybody say not all many not all Muslims adhere to a portion of Islamic teaching from the Quran over 200 passages that explicitly direct Muslim violence against Jews Christians and all non-believing infidels this involves a specific agenda a culture and a deliberate ignorance Amy and I had the priv of having dinner with
(36:30) soie and Jerry Malik this last week can I just tell you they go to our church each and every Sunday they might be here right now and they' probably get mad at me if I told you this but they are responsible of reaching hundreds of thousands of Muslims through Bible translation and he has a book right here that I'm going to actually make available next week on it's called Islamic Exodus into the freedom of Christ a power powerful book a powerful book and I want to encourage you listen if you want to dig deeper you get this
(37:04) so what do we do and I'mma ask the team to start playing so what do we do come on we got to run towards fear amen we got to engage in worship we've got to engage in prayer we can't just check come on we just can't act like this thing is not happening we've got to pray we've got to engage in intercession and then we have to engage in obedience what is God asking us to do as individual Believers in this hour I know what he's asking me to do what's he asking you to do me speaking on this is
(37:47) just part of my obedience church just part of my obedience Abraham Wright said this there is no chasm in societ society that cannot be firmly and permanently bridged by intercession there is no Feud or dislike that cannot be healed by the same exercise of Love Will you stand with me today thank you again for joining us we pray that message ministered to your heart and lifted your spirit today hey to find out more about joining the RLC online family you can find us on the church Center app you can also subscribe
