Come out of Babylon - Fear God| Pope Leo Religious Liberty Medal| JD Vance New Book Communion
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I want to talk about the following:
1. The American government gives Pope Leo the religious liberty medal.
2. Babylon is here, and she is coming for your religious liberty
3. JD Vance's new book Communion
4. The signs of the times are screaming at us: it's time to FEAR GOD.
For the last few months, I have been covering some significant events surrounding the 250th birthday of America. My purpose in this video is to explain the deception as the American government gave Pope Leo a religious liberty medal.
SPEAKER_02Today, we honor Pope Leo XIV not only for his historic role, but for a ministry that has embodied some of the highest aspirations.
SPEAKER_05Right now, the world is wondering after the beast. The influence of Rome in the countries that once acknowledged her dominion is still far from being destroyed, and prophecy foretells a restoration of her power. I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death, and his deadly wound was healed, and all the world wondered after the beast. Verse 3. The infliction of the deadly wound points to the downfall of the papacy in 1798. After this, says the prophet, his deadly wound was healed, and all the world wondered after the beast. Darkness before dawn, page 27.1. Babylon is about to fall.
SPEAKER_26I am honored to accept the Liberty Medal of the National Constitution Center in this year that marks the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America with the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The eve of this momentous occasion, I offer a warm greeting to all those assembled at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. As a son of this great country, founded by courageous men and women, dreamed of liberty and of a better life for themselves and for their children, that the lofty ideals enshrined at the beginning of the Declaration of Independence. And you're probably asking, who is Babylon?
SPEAKER_19Friends, Mother Babylon is Roman Catholicism. I want you to please listen to Kevin Roberts. He's the president of the Heritage Foundation. Listen carefully to how he connects Rome with the Mother Church.
SPEAKER_11We feel like Rome, Washington, is on fire. And that there isn't enough time. But in fact, we are on God's time. And it's trite to say that, but we also know that it's true. And we know that Mother Church doesn't think in terms of days and months and presidential election cycles. She doesn't even think in terms of decades. She thinks in terms of centuries and millennia.
SPEAKER_05You know, brother, this statement by Kevin Roberts should lead every Christian to Revelation 17. In Revelation chapter 17, verse 5, the papacy and the system of the Roman Church are called the mother of harlots.
SPEAKER_19Yeah, I mean, I completely agree with that. And I really hope that from this day forward that people see that connection. The Mother Church, Mother of Harlots. Mother Church, Mother of Harlots. It all points us back to Revelation 17, verse 5. I am pretty sure that there's some of you out there that don't know this. The mother has other churches called the Daughter of Babylon.
SPEAKER_05The daughters of Babylon can be easily identified because they are in an illicit union with the government. Professed Christians that are a part of the White House Faith Office Commission are the daughters of Babylon, the image of the beast. They claim to promote religious liberty, but are really working to take it away.
SPEAKER_23Established the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty to outline threats to the free exercise of religion in our country and to provide recommendations for action. America was founded by people of faith and it was settled as a haven for religious freedom. So important, as we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding next week, it is only appropriate that we work to strengthen this fundamental right and to most essentially clip two, the daughters of Babylon.
SPEAKER_19That's blasphemy. Listen.
SPEAKER_21It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us. But it didn't end there for him, and it didn't end there for you.
SPEAKER_19If you go to Revelation 14, verse 8, the Bible says, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink the wine of the wrath of her fornication. My message for this video is to call all of God's people out of these corrupt churches and organizations. And I'll give you a few reasons why. Because Babylon is here, the mother and daughter. They're gaining power, civil power. The daughters of Babylon will unite with the government to restrict liberty of conscience by enforcing the mark of the beast. It is this crisis, the mark of the beast that will lead to the wrath of God for all the wicked. But friends, there's a voice from heaven saying, Come out of her, my people. My purpose is to call all Christians and people in the world to come out of Babylon into the fear of God.
SPEAKER_24Pope Leo XIV was honored during a ceremony that was moved indoors due to the ongoing heat wave. Civic and faith leaders gathered to honor the Holy Father who joined the festivities via live stream from the Vatican City. Vince Stango, interim president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, shares why this honor for many hits home.
SPEAKER_19So the Vatican received a Liberty of Religion Medal from the U.S. government. And when I first heard about this, I thought to myself, do these church leaders and state leaders not know history? The Vatican do not believe in liberty of religion. Again, the the Catholic Church does not believe in liberty of religion. Throughout their history, they have persecuted people who didn't agree with them. I want you to listen to Pope Francis as he said very clearly, if you speak against my mother, you will receive the persecutions punch.
SPEAKER_13And if you speak bad about my mother, getting punched is only fair. Is that normal? You can't provoke us. You can't insult us with the faith you spoke. It makes no sense, man. History is just startling. Read your religion or all old religions. They turn the page.
SPEAKER_19You know, there are so many politicians and church leaders who believe that the papal church, the so-called holy see, is gonna change. But friends, the Catholic Church, the papacy, is accustomed to doing evil. If you take your Bible and go to Revelation 13, verse 1 and verse 2, the papal church, the so-called holy see, is likened unto a leopard. Now, friends, take that verse and connect it with Jeremiah 13, verse number 23, where the Bible says, can an Ethiopian change his skin, or can a leopard change his spots? Then may ye also do good that are accustomed to doing evil. So friends, there's no salvation for the Pope. Any man who holds the papal office cannot change. So friends, these politicians and church leaders who are following Rome, they are deceived. And God says, Come out of her. In Matthew 24, verse 5, the Lord Jesus gave his disciples the signs of other times. Can anyone look at verse 5 and tell me what instructions did Christ give his disciples as a sign for the end of the world? Friends, Jesus said, Let no man deceive you. Now, as we compare scripture with scripture, on the same thing, look at verse number 11. Who does Jesus say is going to deceive the people in the last days? It is false prophets or false prophet. So friends, who is the apex deceiver, false prophet, false teacher in the world today? It is the Antichrist, the Vatican. This man, the Antichrist, received a Liberty of Religion medal from a nation who's supposed to be standing for liberty of religion. Friends, make this make sense. Deception is everywhere in the church house and the state house. Friends, the papacy do not believe in liberty of religion. Again, I'm gonna say it again. The papacy do not believe in liberty of religion. They made this very clear in their own writings. So friends, if you want to hide something from somebody, what do you do? Put it in a book. Listen very carefully to what to what the Pope said about liberty of religion in America. Listen.
SPEAKER_05Buckle your seatbelt. Keep in mind as I read this that these are encyclicals. An encyclical is the highest authoritative document of the Church in which the Pope claims infallibility. The Constitution of the United States guarantees liberty of conscience. Nothing is dearer or more fundamental. Pope Pius IX, in his encyclical letter of august fifteenth, eighteen fifty four, said The absurd and erroneous doctrines or ravings in defense of liberty of conscience are a most pestilential error, a pest of all others, most to be dreaded in a state. The same Pope in his encyclical letter of december eighth, eighteen sixty four, anathematized, anathematized means to condemn, condemn those who assert the liberty of conscience and of religious worship, also, all such as maintain that the church may not employ force.
SPEAKER_19I'ma say it again. Beloved, the Catholic Church system, Roman Catholicism, the papacy does not believe in liberty of conscience. Again, the Catholic Church does not believe in religious liberty. She is tolerant where she is helpless. Bishop O'Connor said this.
SPEAKER_05She is tolerant where she is helpless. Wow. The Archbishop of St. Louis once said, heresy and unbelief are crimes, and in Christian countries, as in Italy and Spain, for instance, where all the people are Catholics, and where the Catholic religion is an essential part of the law of the land, they are punished as other crimes.
SPEAKER_19As we approach the religious crisis, in Revelation 13, verse 15 through 17, the beast, the Catholic Church, and her image will persecute everyone that does not go along with the enforcement of her mark of authority. They will be considered as blasphemous against the Roman Church, heretics, extremists.
SPEAKER_08You want God to come and overtake the government. Yes! Guilty as charged.
SPEAKER_10There's a lot of people who will just kind of shift with the imagination set by the people, the ruling class.
SPEAKER_27All the Ten Commandments must be legislative and make ever make it um clear to everyone which Sabbath we're we're in favor of.
SPEAKER_10Civil law can also include, I think, blasphemy laws, Sunday Sabbath laws. People ask me what laws would you want? I I think having blue laws, the the Sunday Sabbath laws, really is the first thing that happened. Like it's not blasphemy laws, it's not you know laws against hair ticks.
SPEAKER_04And how he weaves in all these different interesting facts and history of the Sabbath, and then even certain laws like blue laws that we had here in this country, um, and how we have changed without having that rest built into our country.
SPEAKER_15And so will it be like a dictatorship? No, uh, but it will be dangerous for our enemies.
SPEAKER_16Freedom of religion is in all intents and purposes a really bad idea. Um, I don't want freedom of religion because I don't think Jesus wants freedom of religion.
SPEAKER_19We might the voices you just heard. The Bible calls this group the daughters of Babylon. In the book of Revelation, 13, verse 15 through 17. This group is called the image of the beast. This is the image of Rome, and this power will enforce the mark of Rome upon the people. To the world, this group is called Christian nationalism. In these last days, the image of the beast you just heard will persecute and kill everyone that has not agree with them, just like Rome did during the dark ages, between 538 and 1798, Rome butchered and killed heretics. If Rome actually changed, so would the image. But because the image of Rome has not changed, and this power will oppress God's people and force the world to worship against their conscience, the papacy and the Roman Catholic Church system remains a system of oppression. And God says, come out of her, my people.
SPEAKER_22What happens when a politician tells us their faith guides their public life, but then their stated principles collide with the policies of the administration they serve? Vance's book is called Communion, Finding My Way Back to Faith, and it chronicles the vice president's journey back to his faith and his conversion to Catholicism. Now, for some reason, the book features a Methodist church from Virginia on the cover, but that is neither here nor there. What interests me is that it is billed as a story that tells us about how his faith informs his values and vision for the future. He's vice president, and it seems pretty clear that he wants to be president one day, which means Americans should evaluate those claims closely, not just through the things he says, but through the things the administration he currently serves in actually does.
SPEAKER_05J.D. Vance has a new book called Communion. In the book, JD talks about his religious journey into Catholicism. Here's an audio clip of the excerpt.
SPEAKER_17I take my kids to church every week. Well, usually. Sometimes less, sometimes more. While I hope that they will one day come to appreciate this family ritual, they are still at an age nine, six, and four, respectively, where they complain. Bitterly. About half the time these days we attend mass at home in the three story historic mansion where we are living during my term as vice president. But on the Sundays we leave the house, it's sheer chaos. Ewan unable to find his shoes, Vivek yelling, Why do we even have to go to church? And Mirabelle demanding that we delay departure until after she's had her second breakfast. In this, as in all things, Usha is the anchor, managing the mayhem and packing our kids off to the car. She gives me a look as if to say, I'm not even Catholic. I just do this because I love you.
SPEAKER_19Please beware of J.D. Vance. And I'm only saying this because it seems as if J.D. Vance wants to run for president in 2028. President Trump is already sewing those seeds. Check this out.
SPEAKER_23I envy you and other people. I don't know. Who's it gonna be? Is it gonna be JD? Is it gonna be somebody else? I don't know. Does anybody have okay? Let's go. You ready? Who likes JD Vince? Who likes Marco Rubio? Sounds like a good ticket, JD. It's a perfect, that was a perfect ticket. By the way, I do believe that's a dream team, but these are minor details. That does not mean you have my endorsement under any circumstance. But you know, it's a perfect, it was a big and then a very nice. I think it sounds like presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate.
SPEAKER_19I'm telling you to beware of J.D. Vance and his potential bid for the White House in 2028, because friends, they are working to restrict liberty of conscience. If J.D. Vance win the White House, he will govern with Pope Leo.
SPEAKER_05According to an article by Infovaticana on July 17th, 2026, the headline says Vance governs with Leo XIII. In the article it says, the Vice President of the United States was asked how to fix a country where young people turn socialist because they cannot buy a house, and he answered with Rerum Navarum.
SPEAKER_19In J.D. Vance's new book, he promotes Sunday blue laws. He says, quote, I've supported blue laws, state laws that shut down businesses on certain days, like Thanksgiving, because these days are sacred, and everyone ought to be able to participate in them equally. Sunday Blue Laws is connected to Catholic social teachings called the common good, and the common good is linked with the enforcement of the mark of the beast. According to the book of Revelation 13, verse 15 through 17, if you don't worship the beast, the Pope, and his image, church and state in America, and receive their mark of loyalty to Rome. According to the Bible, you cannot buy, you cannot sell. The common good and the Sunday Blue Laws will be the death of the Constitution and now civil and religious freedom.
SPEAKER_05Then there is another man, I can't remember his name, who connects the common good with Sunday Blue Laws, and they are doing all of this in the name of God.
SPEAKER_09In the Catholic vision, the sharing of the common good is precisely the way in which our personal goods are elevated. Sabbath laws are a way of publicly orienting us to God, but also safeguarding the common good of the family. The public ordination to God is something that has suffered badly in recent decades, but it is easily restored. And I would say it is enacted and in a public orientation to God, then reflected where? Reflected in concrete ways, in national holidays, in civic liturgies, in Laws, indeed, Sabbath laws, Sunday laws that would require a cessation of what? Commerce could cease and we could be free for one day for God.
SPEAKER_19You know, friends, I believe this book is a great deception. Not only that, I also believe this book is a great distraction. I'm here to expose the deception. Babylon is here, and she's coming for our civil and religious freedom. Who is Babylon? In J.D. Vance's new book, he shared with us who Babylon is, the man exposed the Catholic Church. He says this, quote, Revelation 18 may have been about the corruption in the Catholic Church, the whole of Babylon, and all of its hocus pocus. Question for you, friends. What is hocus pocus? It means sorcery, magic, deception. Friends, if you look up the word sorcery in the Greek, it means pharmacia. The English word for pharmacia is pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceuticals are vaccines, poisons, or drugs to make people sick. And its purpose not only to make us sick, but to deceive us. Fulfilling. Revelation 18, verse 23. So what do the Bible say about the papacy and the Roman Catholic Church system, which is also called Catholicism? Friends, please go with me to Revelation 18, verse 2. The Bible says, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, and it's become the habitation of devils and the hold of every foul spirit and the cage of every unclean and hateful bird. Friends, J.D. Vance in his new book, is sown the seeds of confusion and the minds of the people. Because on one hand, he's calling people to Babylon. On the other hand, he's saying Babylon is corrupt. Friends, is Babylon corrupt based on scripture? The answer is yes. And God says, Come out of her, my people. In the book of Revelation, 17, verse 5. Babylon, the Roman Catholic Church, is called the mother of harlots. And she's full of abominations. And verse 4, this woman, this church, is wearing purple and scarlet color. The purple are the bishops and the church. The scarlet is the cardinals and the church. Now, if we go back into the church's history, I want to ask you a question. Is the Roman Catholic Church guilty of hocus pocus? You better believe it, friends. In 1921, the Roman Catholic Church launched a hocus pocus or a vaccine campaign with persecution. So friends, the same thing that took place in 1921, it's the exact same thing that took place in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic.
SPEAKER_05Examples from Pius VII and Pius IX. The paragraph that got my attention was this. Quote: It was 1822. Edward Jenner, the father of modern immunization who created the smallpox vaccine, was still alive when the Papal States, under the leadership of Pope Pius VII, activated a massive vaccination campaign. It was highly encouraged and prepared in detail, outlined in a decree signed by the Cardinal Secretary of State Ercole Consalvi. There has been an age-old alliance between the Catholic Church and providing forms of preventive care to prevent the outbreak of epidemics and pandemics. A look at history allows us to better contextualize what Pope Francis has said and proposed regarding the COVID-19 vaccine and what he has put in action in terms of making the vaccine accessible to Rome's poor and homeless.
SPEAKER_19It was the Vatican, it was the papacy, and the Pope gave it to Trump. And Trump gave it to Biden. Babylon's poison went out to all the world. And if you refuse to roll up your sleeve, your rights in society was limited. And for some it was cut off. Beloved, I really want you to see the controversy between Christ and Satan. This battle between good and evil that's right now taking place on this earth. Beloved, it is time to wake up. Let's go to Revelation 18, verse 4. God says to every Christian who was in the Catholic Church, come out of her, my people.
SPEAKER_14On the advice of counsel, I respectfully invoke my Fifth Amendment rights. Paper or plastic? I decline to answer. Did you pack your own bag?
SPEAKER_20Debate tonight continues for others about whether or not to get the shot in the first place. We have seen that play out at workplaces across the country. Employees faced with two choices get vaccinated or risk losing your job. Well, now it is happening on the front lines of the pandemic.
SPEAKER_05During the pandemic, the whole world was under a great delusion, and some people lost their jobs over a lie, and everyone who refused to take Babylon's poison was targeted for spreading the virus. This was some crazy time.
SPEAKER_19This is what the Lord says to the apostate Protestant churches, denominations in America. These churches who profess to be Christians, yet they're yoked up with the government. God says, Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin, daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground. There is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans. For thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate. Oh friends. Now please go with me to Jeremiah, chapter six, verse two. In this verse, God uses a woman to liken his people, the church. If you go to Jeremiah, chapter 6, verse 2, God describes his church, his bride. God says he likened the daughter of Zion as a calmly, delicate woman. Friends, in these last days, what is the issue with God's people? Let's go to Isaiah 47, verse 3, and Revelation 3, verse 18. The main issue with God's people, they are spiritually naked. And the question is, how do they get into this condition? Because money have made them rich. And because money, the danger of this world, have made them rich, the churches, God's people, no longer see a need for a savior. Dangerous friends. If you take your Bible and go to Revelation 18, verse 3, the church does not see a need for a husband anymore. So right now, we are all witnessing a spiritual and moral decline among God's people. Those who are in a 7-day Adventure General Conference, the Methodists, the Baptists, the Lutheran, the Kojik, Presbyterian, and in this video, my duty from the Lord is to give you an invitation to return to the fear of the Lord. I must, beloved, I must tell you the truth. In these last days, those who profess to be Christians, the majority of them will abandon God's calmly and delicate spirit, and she will become a persecuting power to those who do not agree to worship on Sunday. It's coming, friend. The mark of the beast, it is coming.
SPEAKER_15And so will it be like a dictatorship? No. But it will be dangerous for our enemies.
SPEAKER_16Freedom of religion is in all intents and purposes a really bad idea.
SPEAKER_19In the near future, the majority of God's professed people will walk in the spirit of Satan, and they'll unite with the government, and they'll force all, both small and great, rich and poor, to receive a mark in their right hand on their forehead. The daughter of Babylon. The apostate Christian denominations, they are naked, and they're following Satan, and they're going to push laws to exalt tradition over the law of God. Friends, you must understand that in these last days, the controversy is over worship. God's Sabbath, commonly called Saturday, versus Sunday. And when the mark of the beast is in force, we must make a choice to serve the Creator on a Sabbath or serve the beast on Sunday.
SPEAKER_05In the book Desire of Ages, page 121. In the last great conflict of the controversy with Satan, those who are loyal to God will see every earthly support cut off. Because they refuse to break his law in obedience to earthly powers, they will be forbidden to buy or sell. It will finally be decreed that they shall be put to death.
SPEAKER_19Beloved, in order for you and me to receive this blessing, we must depart from Babylon. We must come out of Catholicism. We must come out of apostate Protestantism. And we must come out in spirit and in doctrine. Beloved, we must come out of Sunday worship. Therefore, God's people in these last days must have the fear of God.
SPEAKER_18The fear of the Lord is to hate evil. Let then a holy, filial, reverential fear of God fill my heart, let it mould every thought and action. Let not this principle depart from us for one moment, and all will be well, all will be peace, joy, and uninterrupted bliss, though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea, though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof, for God is our refuge and strength.
SPEAKER_19In the Book of Revelation, 14, verse 6, the Lord Jesus is calling all of his people to turn back to godly fear. So what does it mean to fear God? The Bible says the fear of the Lord is to hate evil, pride, arrogance, the thrower mouth, and the evil way. So friends, what else does God hate? Because clearly the fear of God, it means to love what God loves, and to hate what God hates. And God hates pride, arrogance, the thrower mouth, and the evil way. So friends, what else does God hate? Let's go to Proverbs chapter 6, verse 16. God says he hates a proud look, lying, murder, wicked imaginations, swift to run to mischief, and so in the seeds of discord. As I was studying this topic, I had to examine myself and I had to ask myself, do I hate lying? Do I have a proud look? Do I run to mischief? Do I have a wicked imagination? Friends, in 2 Corinthians chapter 13, verse 5, the Bible tells us we must examine ourselves. Again, we must examine ourselves to see if we are truly in the faith. We must prove ourselves. Paul says, Know ye not your own self, how that Christ be in you? Beloved, we must spend time and self-examination to make sure the love of Christ is abiding in our hearts by faith. This work is very important because friends, in these last days, as iniquity abound, the love of many will wax cold. There will be some cold-hearted people. And when Christ spoke these words, he was talking about cold-hearted people among Christians holding on to sins that are not surrendered to Jesus. It leads to the increase of sin and iniquity, like pride, fornication, masturbation, bearing a false witness, yielding to the lust of the flesh, like pornography and adultery. And friends, all these things, if we reject the conviction of the Holy Spirit and refuse to give our unrighteousness to Jesus, it will lead to our love waxing cold for God. Friends, we must examine ourselves. Right now is the time to go to Calvary. We must go to him in our prayer closet. Confess every sin to Jesus. Friends, the fear of the Lord is to hate sin and love righteousness. Our hatred for sin will develop as we see Christ and understand how much God loves us as Jesus hanged upon the cross for our sins, for your sins and my sins. It was our sins that killed our Savior, as he died due to a broken heart.
SPEAKER_05In Desire of Ages, page 772, paragraph two, it says, It was not the spear thrust, it was not the pain of the cross that caused the death of Jesus. That cry, uttered with a loud voice, Matthew 27, 50, Luke 23, 46, at the moment of death, the stream of blood and water that flowed from his side declared that he died of a broken heart. His heart was broken by mental anguish, he was slain by the sin of the world.
SPEAKER_19In the Book of Proverbs, chapter 4, verse 24, what are the instructions given to us from heaven? We must put away sin. To put away sin is the fear of the Lord. Friends, what is sin? In 1 John chapter 3, verse 4, sin is defined as the transgression of the law. As humans, we could not put away sin by our own strength, by our own power. So please turn with me to Proverbs chapter 16, verse 6. God is going to tell us what is needed for you and me to put away sin and start breaking this law. Because friends, when we break the law of God, it breaks the heart of Jesus. The Bible says, by mercy and truth, iniquity is purged, and by the fear of the Lord, men depart from evil. This verse is telling us that God revealed Himself in mercy and in truth, that iniquity and sin might be purged from us, that we might be cleansed by God's glory as we accept truth. And truth is the word of God. Truth is Jesus. The fear of the Lord is giving all of our sins to Jesus. And we can only give our sins to Christ by repentance. We must confess our sins to Jesus. Friends, it don't matter what you have done. Christ is asking for your heart today. Christ's name is mercy and truth. Allow mercy and truth to cleanse you, friends, from all of your iniquities. And by God's grace, we can and we will depart from all sin. The fear of the Lord makes you depart from sin. And we can only do this by mercy and truth. Which is only found in Jesus Christ. We must understand that sin comes from Satan. And those who still lie, covet, are in bondage to Satan. So, friends, how can we tear down this stronghold of Satan and sin?
SPEAKER_18The stronghold of Satan would not be broken until we have a willingness to hear the world and do what it says. There must be willingness to hear and to do on the part of the receiver. There must be an action, represented as coming out from the world and being separate. There must be a doing of the words of Christ. The soul must be emptied of self, that Christ may pour his spirit into the vacuum. Christ must be chosen as the heavenly guest. The will must be placed on the side of God's will. Then there is a new heart and new holy resolves. It is Jesus enthroned in the soul that makes every action easy in his service. He is the fountain of all righteousness, the source of all happiness, the reservoir of all power. There must be a full trust in Christ's words, and Christ must be all in all to the receiver. I have to wrap this up.
SPEAKER_19Friends, in the book of Proverbs, chapter 8, verse 13, Christ explains what the fear of God is. And in verse 14, he says, Counsel is mine and sound wisdom. He says, I am understanding and strength. Beloved, does anyone know what the counsel of God is? Friends, please go with me to Jeremiah 23, verse 8. The counsel of God is his word. The Bible says, For who have stood in the counsel of the Lord and have perceived and heard his word. In the book of Nehemiah 27, verse 21, the priest asked for God's counsel, and the word went out to him. Friends, for those who are new to the faith, they need godly counsel. Again, to those who are new to the faith, you need godly counsel in these last days. And godly counsel must come from the Word of God. So those who are new to the faith, you need a godly pastor that will teach you Bible truth, not this foolishness you're about to hear. Check this out, friends.
SPEAKER_03So she asks him to heal her daughter, and Jesus responds by calling her. This has been my favorite Bible story for a very long time.
SPEAKER_18If the man who feels that he is called a God to be a minister will humble himself and learn of Christ, he will become a true preacher. If his lips are touched with a live coal from the altar, he will lift up Jesus as the sinner's only hope. When the heart of the speaker is sanctified through the truth, his words will be living realities to himself and to others. Those who hear him will know that he has been with God and is drawn near to him in fervent, effectual prayer. The Holy Spirit has fallen upon him, his soul has felt the vital, heavenly fire, and he is able to compare spiritual things with spiritual. Power will be given him to tear down the strongholds of Satan. Hearts will be broken by his presentation of the love of God, and many will inquire. What must I do to be saved? The Review and Herald.
SPEAKER_19Behind the pulpit speaking hellish doctrine like you just heard. I want to give you godly counsel. Please go with me to Daniel chapter 9, verse 24. God told the Jews, You have 70 weeks to make an end to sin and to bring in everlasting righteousness. Beloved, the same counsel that God gave to the Jews applies to us today. The only difference is that we don't have 70 weeks. We only have one day at a time. Friends, it is time to make an end to sin and to bring in everlasting righteousness. And how do we do this, friends? We must have godly fear. And godly fear will lead to departing from sin and grabbing hold of Christ and his righteousness. If you have your Bible, please go with me to Daniel chapter four, verse twenty seven. The Bible says, Wherefore, O King, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness and thy iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, if it may be lengthening of thy tranquility. What God is saying here in Daniel 4, verse 27, when we accept the counsel of God, the truth, the word of God, it will lead us to godly fear, and godly fear departing from sin, confession, repentance, godly fear, surrender everything to Christ. Christ will cover our sins, forgiveness, and Christ will give us his righteousness. So friends, not only will Christ cover our sins, he will also live within us, so we do righteousness. Therefore we are justified by Christ and we're sanctified by Jesus. So friends, you're probably asking, how can I receive this righteousness? Let's go to Romans chapter 3, verse 22. The Bible says, even the righteousness of God, which is by faith in Jesus, unto all and upon all them who believe. We must have faith in God's word. As we have faith in Jesus, as we place our faith in Christ and give Christ our sins, he gives us his gift of righteousness, which is obedience to the law. It is Christ who obeyed the law in us and through us. So beloved, if you want this righteousness of Jesus, there are five steps. Number one, the Holy Spirit convicts you of sin. That's John 16, verse 8. Number two, when you feel convicted of your sins, repent. James 4, verse 7, do 8. And Acts chapter 2, verse 37 through 38. When you surrender all your sins to Jesus, the next step, number three, is to believe that Christ has forgiven you. And Christ's forgiveness is not based off of your feelings, it's based off of faith. And faith says, when we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Faith is not feelings. When you surrender, believe by faith you are forgiven. Number four, God will treat you like you never sinned. That's Hebrews chapter 10, verse 16 to 17. Number five, Christ now says, Go and sin no more. That's John 8, verse 11. Remember, friends, faith, hope, and love is forever. And the greatest of these is love. Until we meet again by God's grace. God bless. Peace.
