    Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light. This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite. Delivering people out of the bondage of mainstream media. And the philosophies of this world. God has called you and me to be his ambassador. Even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment. And Now, The Hamilton Corner. Good evening everyone, welcome to The Hamilton Corner, here on American Family Radio. I'm your host Abraham Hamilton, a third joined by The Corner Contingent. Right across from me, my man, a hundred grand, Mr. Bobby. The Neighborhood would have hollec, hence the pop screen. Mr. Marty Sparks, ladies and gentlemen, I'm a lighten up the dark from there. And we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program at this very moment. Many of you, if not most of you, are making your transitions from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs, your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding that what goes on your house is far more important than what goes on in the White House, especially when the White House is occupied by a person when asked, Hey, did you have anything to do with the President Trump's conviction? And he looks back and he smiles with the sinister Chester cat, grin. What goes on in your house is still more important. What goes on in the White House, we need to be sure better than be sure. We need to commit ourselves to every day, every day, taking one step further towards fulfilling God's purpose for our lives individually.

  2. 2:07

    The overall responsibility that Christ followers have is to execute the Lord's commission. The only question and the only variables that apply within that is to what lanes will we feel as we pursue that. You know, we all have different occupations, the scripture describes us all as different members of the Lord's body. If you're a finger, no need to be envious along to be a toe. If you are a toe, no need to be envious along to be an elbow. Every member has a role to play and we need every joint to supply. We need every member of the Lord's body to fulfill our role, simply put we need all hands on deck to be a part of what the Lord desires for us. this time, you must never forget, and I'm going to come back to this as the show goes on, we must never forget that God has divinely planted us when and where we are. It is not a coincidence that we are alive right now. God is not surprised by the things that are transpiring in our nation. He's not caught off guard by the fact that the first thing our government does on June 1st as well as every corporation in America is to celebrate what the Lord says is a sin. of all pride is a sin. The scripture says pride comes before the fall. You know, and it's always amazing if you look at corporations announcing things in America and look at what they're doing in the Middle East, you'll see something noticeably absent from their presence in other parts of the world. There's an indication as to what's happening in our country in particular. And if you are a United States citizen, and I know we have people to listen to us from all over the country, shout out to our brothers and sisters who are neighbors to the north, Listen from Canada, we have a significant amount of Canadians that listen. We have people to listen in other countries in the world. God is planning you where you are as well. And he's done so for his expressed purpose. So we have the privilege to be a part of his purpose and not contrary to what it may seem or feel like, guys, we are blessed to be a part of the time that God has planted us in.

  3. 4:11

    But as I referred to earlier, joy as a believer is reserved for the obedient Christians, those who obey. and apply what God has told us to obey and apply. So at this very moment, as many of you, if not most of you are making your transitions to your full-time jobs, from your part-time jobs, what you do to generate an income, that's your part-time job. But your full-time job is outcome cultivation. The ultimate outcome that we're looking to cultivate is eternal life. We must do life in light of eternity, that we do life from heaven down. glory to God. To the word of God we go. We're going to go today to 2 Kings 17. And I've alluded to this before, but I want to point you to the specific scripture today. Lots of us are familiar with the reality that the Southern Kingdom of Judah was ultimately conquered and exiled by Nebuchadnezzar to Babylon. But we often forget that over a century prior to to what transpired in Judah, it actually happened to the northern kingdom of Israel first, but the northern kingdom did not have a return. All right. What we're going to read today is a portion of the Lord laying out, laying out exactly the reasoning that led up to what happened to the northern kingdom. Remember when the nation was divided into two separate nations in northern kingdom of Israel, having 10 of the Israelite tribes. The Southern Kingdom of Judah had two tribes, a tribe of Judah and Benjamin within Judah. That division took place. The first king of the Northern Kingdom of Israel was Jeroboam and the Northern Kingdom continued, almost unimpeded in repeating the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebuchad. I'm gonna turn your attention to the second king, chapter 17, verses 13 through 17.

  4. 6:14

    And I'm doing this for a particular reason. I remember in my own journey and following the Lord, I remember when I first read the Bible for myself, it was overwhelming and noticing, wow Lord, all these things that are happening, I can't imagine what life looked like when these things transpired. I want you to notice as we go through the scripture that a lot of the things that the Lord raised as a part of his case against Israel. A lot of these same things are happening in our country right now. 2 Kings 17 verses 13 through 17. This is what the Word of God says, that the Lord warned Israel and Judah through all his prophets and every seer saying, turn from your evil way and keep my commandments, my statutes according to all the law which I commanded your fathers and which I sent to you through my servants, the prophets. However, they did not listen. I'm going to read that again. However, they did not listen, but stiffened their neck like their fathers, who did not believe in the Lord, their God. They rejected his statutes and his covenant, which he made with their fathers and his warnings with which he warned them. And they followed vanity and became vain. and went after the nations which surrounded them, concerning which the Lord had commanded them not to do like them. They forsook all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made for themselves molten images, even two calves, and made an ashara and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served by all. Then they made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire and practice divination and Enchantments and sold themselves to do evil and the sight of the Lord Provoking him now started the latter part first and just make a category of core observation Last week toward the end of the week. I was explaining About lawlessness being a byproduct of something that precedes lawlessness is far more foundational That is the rejection of truth.

  5. 8:48

    Truth fundamentally at its core is a person. Jesus said of himself, I am the way. The what? Truth, capital, T, and the line. When truth is rejected, and truth, as Isaiah 59 said, has fallen in the streets, the byproduct of that rejection of truth is abundant lawlessness. It is abundant lawlessness. foundational to let me say it differently one of the central features of what God has made mankind to be you got of God's have heard me explain this before God has created mankind to be generational in our orientation the Lord very easily could have created his earth and you go back to Lord intentionally reveals that he first creates the earth unfilled and Unformed, unsurprisingly as David said in his Psalm Psalm 139 for you, oh Lord saw my what? Unformed substance It's one of the biblical notions that a child is present before his substance is formed For you knew my frame when I was hidden Formed in secret though with none of my days well yet were you had all of my days It's a it's a paralleling of how the Lord created the earth the Lord did that intentionally He created mankind. The first commandment given to mankind you guys remember describing before was issued in the familial context before you get to the 10 commandments before you get to the thou should not murder before you get to any of those things. The first command God gives the mankind is fruitfulness and multiplication, which is why which is why the hostility that is displayed toward the most innocent human beings those that are unborn is not merely merely a heinous crime, not merely a heinous sin, but it strikes at the core of what God created mankind to be.

  6. 10:55

    God made men to be fathers. God made women to be mothers. Again, you've heard me say as well that, of course, the vocation of singleness is available, but that is a minority reality. And it is a vocation from God. A call from God, the majority position for most people, most human beings is to be fathers and mothers. But it's an egregious violation of God's ordinance for his creation in mankind for us to be willing to destroy our very own offspring. Here one of the notions identified as a basis for showing that Israel and then later on Judah had rejected God was as it says, right here in verse 17, then they made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire. Guys, that is a description of child sacrifice. That is how the pagan deities, the molax, chi-mosh, ba-al, which basically are all the same demonic deities, but described in different Canaanite ethnicities, it's the same demonic deity, but described in different cultural contexts. They all required child sacrifice. Now the Lord doesn't go through details explaining all the reasoning behind, the motivation behind, killing you on Trigee just identifies that's wrong. That's evil, that's wicked. Is that not the exact same thing that happening right now? And in our society, we are attempting to justify the slaughtering of our very own offspring. I say, is it women's right to choose, and women's right to choose? Chelsea Clinton said it out loud. If it were not for the ability for us to slaughter our own children in the womb, women would not have been able to generate these multiple boons of dollars in revenue. Oh, words a week we killing for funds. guys, the same thing happened in the Bible, times they would, they would worship these pagan deeds. I'm talking about the people of Israel in their offspring being tempted to be like the nations around them. They would worship these pagan deities and be like, Oh, the guy we serve ain't coming through. We need better crops. We need more rain. We need more things. So we will worship these pagan deities, which includes causing their children to pass through the fire. We're doing the same things. We're doing the same things going back up verses 14 and following.

  7. 13:28

    The Lord sent prophets to warn, sent people to warn, sent his servants to warn. Verse 14, however they did not listen, but stiffen their neck, stiffen their neck. That's the same thing as happening now. God has sent people to warn our country today, but you know what our country and our culture by and large does, writes them off. Oh, those are just old school bigots. They're just conservative. It reminds me of the first time somebody called me conservative. I've shared this with you all before. They insulted me. I was sharing the truth of the word of God. They called me conservative. I didn't know what the word meant at the time. And I said, call me whatever name you want. But what I know is this is what God's word says. And we violate God's word to our own demise. The same thing is happening now. And then look at the consequences for 15. They rejected his statutes. They rejected his law. The same thing is happening now. If you wondered What things looked like on the ground before Judah was conquered, before Israel was conquered. Guys, we're living through it. I want you to understand this. We're living through it. My prayer for our audience here that we will be found among the ranks of the Jeremiah's and the Hylkias and the others. That we will warn those around us as to what's going on. A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker. Genesis chapter 1 beginning at verse 1. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters, and the spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then God said, let there be light, and there was light. God saw that the light was good. Then He separated the light from the darkness.

  8. 15:30

    God called the light day and the darkness night. An evening past and morning came marking the first day. Father, thank you Lord again for your word. Thank you for the power and the grace found in your word. And thank you for the anointing that rests upon your word. Thank you Lord for the truth that your word is you. And as we spend time in your word, we're spending time with you as you speak words of counsel, wisdom, power, blessing and grace into our hearts and our lives. In Jesus' name we pray, amen. shiting light into the darkness. This is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton, the third here in addition to what, and I should explain it this way before, the people who are wanting today, they're armed with the word of God. You know, but what's happened in our society is no different from what happened then. Is that our society is marginalized, the word of God, even to the point where many Professing believers are biblically illiterate. History is literally repeating itself right before our very eyes. And I will continue to remind you, and this is not based on some man-centered humanistic, hopeful optimism talk. Man, God has planted His remnant for this day and for this age. It is our opportunity to be our Lord's hands and feet during this time with all of the chaos that's happening around us, that we are able to light a candle in the midst of the darkness and say, here is the way walk you therein. All right, this week is the week, Lord willing will be in Virginia at the end of this week, broadcasting from the Greater Richmond Convention Center.

  9. 17:30

We will do the show, the Hamilton Corner Program, live from Virginia. I'm also gonna be a part of a panel where my good friend and brother Bill Federer will be on there together. I'm looking forward to that. And then also be a part of a pastor's workshop there. If you're in the area, we'll come to the area. We'd love to meet you there. I'd love to greet you, hug some necks and provide some tangible in-person encouragement that weekend, look each other square in the eyes and say, Hey, for such a time is this, then the very next week, the busy time will be in Denver, Colorado at the Rocky Mountain Home School Convention. A lot of homeschooled conventions, conventions coming up these next couple weeks. You can still register, go to RockyMountainHomeSchoolConference.com, RockyMountainHomeSchoolConference.com, Dr. George Barna will be there, Heidi St. John will be there, I will be there. It's gonna be an amazing time there. And then July 18th through the 20th in Bartlett, Tennessee at Faith Baptist Church, the Culture Proof Conference will go down in Bartlett, Tennessee. You do not want to miss this. Simply go to cultureproof.net to register. Registration is still open now, cultureproof.net. It's going to be an amazing time there as well. And you know, recognizing the fact, man, God has planted us for this time. looking forward to being there. Alright, I want to spend a little bit of time now just explaining something to you all. I'll never forget I was in my third and final year of law school in Hurricane Katrina, hit New Orleans. I was enrolled in Loyola University College of Law to finish up law school in Hurricane Katrina hit. You know, and that thrusted me a westward to Texas where I ultimately spent time finishing that immediate semester. I was able to take some classes at at South Texas College of Law.

  10. 19:43

    And then my law school opened up a satellite campus on the University of Houston's Law School campus. I was able to finish there, took some classes in Texas, but my degree remained a Loyola degree due to cooperation between the schools and my school back in New Orleans. And I'll never forget the Lord leading me step by step along the way. And I did an internship during the summer summer after my first year of law school, that actually did a portion of that internship with, it was then Liberty Legal Institute that is now first Liberty headed up by Kelly Shackleford and Hiram Sasser, pretty much Kelly Shackleford's right-hand man there, just made some observations about me and that helped me to see that I may be bent toward a trial work during my law degree. Growing up, well, I grew up a lot of y'all know, I grew up in the hood in New Orleans and you had heard lots of people complain about this, complain about that, complain about, you know, the quote unquote the system and all that kind of stuff. And I felt gripped by the Lord to use my abilities in the criminal justice arena specifically as a prosecutor. You know, lots of people complain about things from the outside. It has always been my disposition. But why don't we do something about it? You know, I don't like all that is yapping. Why don't we do something about it? And so I saw fit to get involved from I'm inside, if you will. And I still have the same type of disposition today. So it's because of that, I served as a criminal prosecutor first in Texas. That's where I first started, my profession as an attorney due to Hurricane Katrina. And then I went back to Louisiana shortly thereafter after Marie and I got married. And I was a major felony prosecutor, all this stuff they make these television shows about. That's what I did, homicide, sexual assault, armed robberies, you name it, I've tried all of them. I've handled all of them. The trials are far fewer considering the volume of cases that do not make it to trial, but trial was a pinnacle of that.

  11. 21:51

    I still love being in the courtroom. That's one of my favorite aspects of what I've done historically, and when I have the opportunity even now, during what I do to serve AFA, I enjoy the courtroom aspects of it. I'm saying all of this for a reason. In the District Attorney's Office, I watched, I'm sorry that I worked in in Texas, the Harris County District Attorney's Office, that's the county that encompasses Houston, Texas, a large one of the largest district attorney's offices in the country. I also worked in the district attorney's office and the greater than one is metropolitan area. I have consistently seen that it is a part of kind of the criminal justice environment for prosecutors prosecutors to seek to make the upward move. It was you that's an upward move to go from the state attorney's offices to become a United States attorney, an AUSA. I have never seen an assistant US attorney to voluntarily say, you know what? I think I want to go to the state district attorney's office. The only time I've seen any of that is when maybe an AUSA has had an appointment that happened during my time there. Ken maggots and served briefly as the temporary sitting district attorney by state government appointment, but never to serve in an assistant capacity. I'm saying all of this for a reason. Just stay with me on on this. The reality is there have been lots of people for quite some time that have pointed to man, you know, there's a two-tiered justice system in America. And I think what's happening is I don't think I know what's happening is a lot of things that have been bubbling under the surface is now metastasizing to common levels of the American body politic because of what I just read from the scripture's second Kings. John Adams said, and I will continue to repeat this, that the American constitutional republic, this exercise in individual liberty, this exercise in the self government, this American experiment is only efficacious. It will only work with the Holy religious and moral people.

  12. 24:31

    It is holy. This is what John Adam said. Holy and adequate for the governance of any other. George Washington, we used to study this in our school system in his farewell address. He identified religion and morality as indispensable sports of this Constitution of Republic. He literally said in vain with that man claimed the virtue of patriotism who would work to subvert either. That would be if anybody is an active agent working to subworking to subvert religion in America. When George Washington said that he explicitly had in mind Christianity, John Adams explicitly had in mind Christianity. George Washington also said religion and morality are indispensable supports. We cannot have the American Constitution Republic with democratic features if we don't have religion or morality. This is a morality that is derived from the foundational tenets of the Christian faith. All right, what we are experiencing is an effort to maintain our constitutional Republican form of government while at the exact same time, we have an increasingly wicked people not merely talking about personal practices. All right, it's one thing when you have personal sin proclivities. It's another thing when you nationalize and normalize sin to make a national policy. All right. After the verdicts were read, and I'm gonna get into some of that in a moment, I wanna point your attention to Mr. Joseph Robin Edbiden was having a press conference. What even about this? About the New York case. But then an enterprising journalist, an enterprising journalist asked a question to Mr. Biden about his role in Mr. Trump's conviction. And I want you to see his response.

  13. 26:31

    I'll tell you now. And for those who are listening on radio, I apologize because you won't be able to see this, but if you're watching, you can see this. Mr. Joseph Robin Ed Biden doesn't say anything. He just looks back at all the cameras and he offers, well, I'll let you see it and you tell me what you think of this reaction. It is clip number one, go. For the day after, to begin, thank you very much. Mr. President, can you tell us sir, Donald Trump refers to himself as a political prisoner and blames you directly. What's your response to that, sir? Do you think the conviction will have an impact on the campaign? We'd love to hear your thoughts, sir. Should we be on the ballot, sir? Now, if you are watching that, I encourage those of you who are not able to see his response. Was that not an ominous grin? Was that not? And I'm not gonna try to act like I know what he's thinking. But I'm just saying, as a human being, as you assess that response, what do you think? And I want you to take the video I just showed you and everything I said before about what goes on between state prosecutorial offices and federal prosecutorial offices and listen to what I'm about to share with you now. Many of you know this and I've mentioned this before, but I want to get particular attention to it now. Were you aware that prior to the quote unquote investigation into Mr. Trump conducted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. There was a man who was a number three prosecutor in the United States Department of Justice. All right. The number three prosecutor in the United States Department of Justice in the Biden Department of Justice, his name is Matthew Colangelo.

  14. 28:35

    Matthew Colangelo just so happened to leave the number three position in the United States Department of Justice for another job. Y'all want to guess what job, Peter? Matthew Calangelo left the United States Department of Justice to become an Assistant District Attorney in the Manhattan DA's office under Alvin Bragg. If you paid attention to Mr. Trump's trial that ended last week in New York, guess who was one of the lead prosecutors? Matthew Calangelo. Now the question as to whether or not there was any collaboration between the Department of justice. Let me say it more clearly. Biden's Department of Justice and what transpired in New York state. I guess the Biden administration said that was no collaboration because a guy who was heading up our collaboration, he just left working with us and went to work with Elvin. Do you find it the least bit curious that there hasn't been very, been very much a discussion as to what conversations might have took place between Manhattan and Washington, D.C. that culminates in Matthew Colangelo doing what in the criminal justice context would be viewed as a downgrade of positioning or how about the media's favorite word from I don't know right about 2016 up until 2020. Remember this word collusion, remember that word? Remember that word? I find it very, very curious that with all of the things and all the reporting and all the covers, nobody has spent very much time describing.

  15. 30:37

    I won't say nobody, but not very many people. I spent, because I know I've mentioned some things. I know some others may have, but very little, very little conversation about, Now, what would it take to have an assistant US attorney to go to be an employee in a state attorney's office? Because it's a US attorney's office that leads often to all kinds of additional prominent positions and that nature far more than a state district attorney's office. Or maybe it was just a coincidence. And to have an Alvin Bragg who campaigns on, he ain't Donald Trump getting, getting Donald Trump, who's had people in his office working prior to 2022. Oh, yes, Allison, he made the move in 2022. So that's when Matthew Calangelo left the DOJ in 2022. Alvin Bragg had employees before we in the offices I worked in, we called cases like this media cases, because usually in the district attorney's office, most of the cases you cover are not media cases, very few of them, relatively speaking of media cases, depending on where you are in terms of your seniority in the office. All right. Media cases very rarely get assigned to relatively new hires, but Matthew Colangelo, leave the DOJ, shows up in the Manhattan DA's office and immediately he just happened to be appointed to handle the prosecution of a former president. All I'm saying is if you think that's a coincidence I got some land I want to sell that I don't really want to sell you, but it's not a coincidence, folks. It's not a coincidence.

  16. 32:39

    It's something that is a part one of the dominoes and the entire effect that led to the prosecution of this case that, oh, by the way, was refused by the United States DOJ in New York. We don't have to be like the 10 that said it can't be done. It's too big. The Giants are too big. We need to be like Joshua and Caleb and say, you know what? our giants. This is a massive problem. When you have a nation that is ignorant of the principles that produce a free society, start where you can. It's the only way I know. It's a little bit at a time. Join Walker, Wildman, and Rick Green as they tackle today's issues from a biblical and a constitutional perspective. At the core, 1PM Central Weekdays on AFR. The Hamilton Quarter podcast and one-minute commentaries are available at eFR.net. Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton the third year. And we're already in the third second. Good night. I don't know why. Man, I was just getting ready. Warm it up. Now I want to be clear on something and I know I explained this before but I want to make sure everybody understands exactly what I mean when I've said this. I explained to you that the unjust nature of this prosecution is probably evident. I expect this to be the Mr. Trump's conviction to be overturned on appeal. But if you haven't noticed anything yet, one thing about Regressives is they don't care about whether or not their chicanery is enduring. They just want to know it's effective. It's effective. All right. As I explained before, first and foremost, and guys, verbiage matters. I'm going to share something with you in a moment that Alex Soros, George Soros' son, tweeted out immediately after the convention game down, which is just evident of the gram-seeing effort to use verbiage and nomenclature as a weapon of war, as the efforts to advance regressivism for the purposes of overthrowing Constitution Republic, replacing it with an atheistic framework.

  17. 34:57

    And I'm saying that intentionally because Marxism is a philosophical framework that is the engine of which is atheism. All right. People that described this case as a hush money trial just played right into the hands of regressive ism because the case wasn't about hush money at all. It's about business records recording. How do you describe a business record? All right. That is a misdemeanor in New York state law that the statute of limitations expired as of 2019. So Alvar Bagdier's office resurrected the zombie misdemeanor state law crime by tagging onto it the second crime or the object crime was also a misdemeanor, which is a violation of New York statute section 175. I'm sorry, New York Code Section 17-152. That object crime is a conspiracy statute prohibiting the promotion of an election of any person by here's a bit quote, unlawful means. So the primary crime was a misdemeanor. The object crime was also a misdemeanor. The only way to have these twain misdemeanors to be catapulted into the realm of felony was the addition of the promotion of the election by quote unquote unlawful means. And it is the unlawful means component that the judge instructed the jury and you all can decide whether or not this crime is brought up unlawful means. Now here's the problem with that. The numerous problems with that is one that New York state statute 17-152 is a state version of a federal election campaign act violation, which is federal law that the U.S. Attorney's office in New York refused to prosecute, which by the dimension is a misdemeanor.

  18. 37:13

    So there's a concept in law called preemption that says if the federal government has a statute covering the exact same conduct, then the state law cannot, the state cannot proceed on that. That is patent reversible error on appeal. And next you have one of the unlawful means that Judge Mershan, or Mershan, I don't know how you pronounce it, said the jury could choose, they could also choose a tax violation. But then you have the tortured notion of how does a tax violation promote a candidate's election? And then you have the third option, which was an additional books or records offenses, which is circular of the first misdemeanor. Then you also have the same question, and how does this specifically apply to an election? So law story short. Those are the specific things. And as I've explained to you before, I expect it all to be tossed out on appeal. But the question is, well, they're not as effective. As soon as these convictions came, the conviction was announced. Alex Soros, the son of George Soros, who's also a board member for George Soros's Open Society, he said the not so quiet part out loud by posting on social media May 31st at 1.49 p.m. Quote, Democrats should refer to Trump as a convicted felon at every opportunity. Repetition is the key to a successful message, and we want people to wrestle with the notion of hiring a convicted felon for the most important job in the country, in quote. That was the objective. That was the objective. They don't care if it sticks. They don't care if it's overturned on appeal. They don't care. And just to give you guys some context, this is the same state that overturned the conviction of what was that Hollywood producer I forgot his name. Weinstein, Harvey Weinstein, the state courts in New York overturning Weinstein's conviction because the prosecutors in Manhattan secured that conviction illegally.

  19. 39:13

    But how many people do you know know that Harvey Weinstein's New York conviction was overturned? Not very many, because this is what they wanted. What they want is to be able to describe Trump as a convicted felon. Now, why am I saying all of this? And I think it's wrong to consider this solely in light of Trump. We have to zoom out and recognize what's happening in the broader, in the broader sense. This is another step in the direction to entirely move our country towards lawlessness. That is what is happening. Having said all of this, guys, having said all of this, none of this is communicated to you You buy me for the purposes of provoking trepidation or to power because you must remember that God has ordained us for such a time as this. This is not the first time in history where the Lord has had his people in an environment that is endeavoring to turn against him. It happened in Israel. It happened in Judah. Remember the Lord's people in Babylon. Daniel was in Babylon. friends were in Babylon. I'm not saying it's easy street, but we must recognize that there is one who is with us and it's high time for us to recognize that all along Jesus Christ was all that we had. You know, this is one of the things that happens when environments of luxury and abundance and freedom can be manipulative to us. This is why the Lord warned the dude around in me eight. Be careful when you have eaten and your bell is a fool when you have herds and flocks and your silver and your gold as multiplied because it is then that you have the propensity to begin to live and function as if you have provided for yourselves.

  20. 41:22

    And in many ways in our country, we have been so enamored with our freedoms and our luxuries. And y'all know how for you. The United States of America is the greatest nation in the history of the world untold measures of freedom. But the question is, what have we done with it? What will we do with it? I am saying our position is to remain salt and light. Now, I have questions. All right. There have been lots of reports. There are lots of reports that since the announcement of the Trump verdict that the Trump campaign has generated over $200 million in donations in support. All right. That shows that you have people that are tuned into what we're saying and recognizing, man, this is a sham and full stop 100%. I've said it numerous times when Alvar bread came out with that excrement paper indictment, I described it as such. But here's a question I have for you. $200 million raised since the verdict. What is the Trump team doing with that money? See, I remember when reports came out that indicated that And a significant portion of money raised for the campaign. The first thing that we'll go to was legal fees. Is that how a successful presidential campaign should go? Should not. The people who are supporting Mr. Trump's campaign have a right to question where's the money going? I don't think most donors want to donate to the campaign fees, not let me to legal fees. Not they can if they want to. But what's happening with that money? Where is the state by state infrastructure? is it's clear you have people supporting him regardless of these sham trials and indictments and things of that nature. But is there really a plan to win? Electorally, I ask you another question. How much money was raised on the premise of stop the steal?

  21. 43:23

    All right. Now, how much has been done on a state-by-state basis for election and election integrity measures? And I know that there are some states where they've had some election integrity measures, but if you look at the electoral college map, usually it states that I'm more favorable President Trump as the President of Canada anyway. I've explained to you before in order to be effective in our electoral college system in order to accomplish this electoral heist. You only need about six jurisdictions. So again, my question is what is being done with this? What is being done here? There were lots of complaints about the GOP, particularly the AR and C where Ronna McDaniel, on a Romney McDaniel. It's funny how she did that Romney so quick. But now Eric Trump's wife is a co-chair of the RNC. Lara Trump, what is happening with the funds? My point is guys, is I understand the passion, the energy, the fervor, but the Bible says you gotta have a zeal according to knowledge. You cannot run a successful president of campaign if you don't have infrastructure offices on the ground. What is happening in Wisconsin? What is happening in Pennsylvania? What is happening in Michigan? What is happening, the state of Nevada has gone in the opposite direction. They've standardized for all elections, mail-in balloting. What's happening in Wisconsin? What's happening in these places? See, one of the things that we have to see is that there are practical, tangible things that need to be done. And what's happening with it. Now, I'm sharing that as some of the tangible means. Remember, when I shared with you all the account in the Book of Acts, when the Apostle Paul was there and the members of the Sanhedrin had plotted to murder him, Didn't even wanna let him get to Caesarea, let alone to get to Rome, plan to murder him right into Jerusalem.

  22. 45:27

    In the Spirit of God, the Spirit of God, assured the bloody battered beaten Apostle Paul that no, you must give your testimony in Rome, just as you've done here in Jerusalem. That's the Spirit of God reveal to the Apostle Paul. Then tangible on the ground, the Lord reveals the only time that the Apostle Paul's nephew was mentioned in scripture, the only time His nephew was able to hit a plot. The nephew heard the plot. Oh, Lord, they're planning to kill my uncle. He rushes to the incarceration spot to tell Paul about it. Paul tells the officials why I'm explaining this, because that is the, those are the tangible mechanisms that God used to fulfill what he had revealed to the impulsive order, what happened. What I am talking about are the tangible mechanisms that are needed to stand against this iteration of wickedness. Now that's simply only electoral front. There's a much bigger work that must transpire in our country. And that is an effort to appeal to the hearts and the minds of the people in our country. Because in many places, in many ways, the professing body of Christ says, abandon the commitment to disciple making. You talk to many people, and I can't tell you the number of times I've talked to people and they tell me things like, man, Abe, I've never heard discipleship discussed on the pulpit, I've never heard, how do we do it? How do we go about doing it? I don't have any idea how to go about doing it. Let alone a commitment to it. I can't tell you the number of times I've talked to parents and showed them in scripture that you do realize this is our responsibility of first engagement as parents to make disciples of our children. I can't tell you the number of times people have told me I never knew that, I never knew that.

  23. 47:29

    I'm not talking about people that are unbelievers. I'm talking about people that may be 10, 20, You're a veteran in the church. What I'm saying very simply, before we get to the place to where we wanna look and talk about this corruption over there, this corruption over there, this corruption over there, we have to start at home. We have to start at home. When we see the things coalescing, corruption in our justice systems, corruptions, corruption informally ecclesiastical bodies like the United Methodist Domination guys, I'm not a Methodist, but I'm a Christian. All the way down to corruption and the home. What's necessary, the order of the day in our nation, what we need most desperately is repentance. The corruption in the halls of justice and the political sphere and all this kind of stuff, guys, that is downstream from the corruption that is abundant in our country. You understand what I'm saying? The externalized corruption that we can see, it's a reflection of what has happened in our own nation. which is why as I said numerous times before, live locally. Start at home, start in your neighborhood, start in your community, and as we are faithful with what we have access to, we must trust God with the macro level affairs. This is the order of the day. I'd like to take a minute and have a heart to heart with you. If you're able, place your hand over your heart. Can you feel it? My strong heartbeat reminds me that I'm alive.
