    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. Delivery 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. I'm there and we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program. Lots of things are happening in the country. Potentially tens of thousands of international longshoremen, port workers could be going on strike as of midnight, technically, midnight tomorrow morning, but it's tonight affecting the influx of goods all over the world from ports as far northeast as Maine, reaching all the way around the east coast of our country down toward the Gulf Coast of our country as far as Texas, affecting everything from household goods to fruit to the import of automobiles. Even this could be a massive phenomenon that radically changes the way of life we have here in America. We have the tragedy of Hurricane Helene Helene. I'm sorry. Last report I read prior to coming on the air where the known death toll has exceeded 100 people. You still have actually over 121. We have still significant around hundreds of people who are unaccounted for untold devastation throughout the states of Florida and North and South Carolina, Georgia, portions of Tennessee. It's just tragic, tragic, tragic for our nation. We have our old not-so-friend lurch.

  2. 2:45

    So the former senator of John Kerry who says what he really thinks when he's around friends. That would be friends at the World Economic Forum, of course. It's just not surprising to me. It's just galling to me how much disdain many people who are American have for our Constitution. You know, I'm trying to say much except for our first amendment as a problem. You'll want to hear all about that. And then we have this wonderful report from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That was delivered to Congress, specifically to Representative Tony Gonzalez of Texas. That just shows, you know, not much, except that there are thousands of criminal aliens on the non-detention docket for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. These are people who have already been ordered to leave the country. or they're in the process of being removed from our country, but dog on it, they're not detained by ICE, that non-attentioned docket has reached seven million people. And includes people that have been convicted, not just charged, but convicted of crimes like homicide, and assault, and other things. And then there are scores of others who have not been convicted yet, but they've been charged with criminal, with crimes. They're just here. Got that news over the weekend. And of course, the mainstream American provda did their best not to report on it. It's pretty interesting. But in spite of all of that, all of those issues are very, very important. They're not more important than what goes on in your home. What goes on in your house is far more important than what goes on in the White House. So as you are making your moves right now, most of you, many of you, if not most of you, your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs.

  3. 4:54

    Let us be about our father's business and cultivate an outcome. Much of what is transpired in America really is the product of the deficiency in disciple making generation as far as it pertains to you and to me. It is our distinct honor and privilege to serve our Lord's purposes in our time. Let us work while it is day to the word of God. we go. Second Kings, Chapter 7, Second Kings, Chapter 7, verses 3-3-11. This is a very familiar passage of Scripture. The context for the portion we're going to delve into today is when King Bennett out of Syria instituted a siege against the northern kingdom of Israel. Things got so bad it's almost like port workers going on strike. Not really. This was a military siege. But the whole point of the military siege was to cut off the flow of traffic and of goods into the capital city of Samaria and in the northern kingdom of Israel and to keep anything inside of the northern capital city from exiting. Things got so bad you read the scriptural account and I don't want to be unnecessary hyperbolic but things got so bad where cannibalism was being practiced. Go back and read the read the scripture for yourself. And the scripture tells us there were four men who had been according to Jewish law, kicked out of the city, made to sit outside of the city because they were lepers. So you get this picture, you have the city walled on the inside. The king of Israel is on the inside, hiding his sackcloth under his robes.

  4. 6:55

    The Syrian army is outside the city, camped, encamped outside the city, laying siege to the city. And the lepers are kind of between them. And we pick up at verse 3, in 2 Kings 7 verse 3. And this is what the word of God says. Now there were four men who were lepers at the entrance to the gate, and they said to one another, why are we sitting here until we die? If we say, let us into the city, the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. And if we sit here, we die also. So now come, let us go over to the camp of the Syrians. If they spare our lives, we shall live. And if they kill us, we shall but die. So they arose at twilight, just to get right to it as close to sunset, all right, to go to the camp of the Syrians. But when they came to the edge of the camp of the Syrians, behold, no one was there. Verse 6, For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians hear the sound of chariots and of horses, the sound of a great army, so that they said to one another, Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us, the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Egypt to come against us. So they fled away in the twilight and abandoned their tents, their horses and their donkeys leaving the camp as it was, and fled for their lives. And when these lepers came to the edge of the camp, they went into a tent and ate and drank, and they carried off silver and gold and clothing and went and hid them. Then they came back and entered another tent and carried off things from it and went and hid them. Then they said to one another, we are not doing right. This day is a day of good news. If we are silent and wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us.

  5. 8:58

    Now therefore come, let us go and tell the King's household. So they came and called to the gatekeepers of the city and told them, we came to the camp of the Syrians and behold there was no one to be seen or heard there. Nothing but the horses tied and the donkey's tied and the tents as they were. And then the gatekeepers called out and it was told within the king's household. This is an amazing, an amazing portion of scripture. You have these lepers and I mean, you want to talk about having a broadened understanding of God's deliverance. All right. Want to be clear about several things. One, I know America is an Israel. All right. Two, I know there are things in Scripture that are descriptive, meaning that the Lord includes them to describe occurrences in Scripture, as opposed to being prescriptive. While there are also things that are prescriptive, meaning that they are prescribed for you and me to embrace and to repeat. With all of that said and understood, there are also principles that God illustrates in Scripture for us to understand, to introduce us to an accurate understanding of who He is. See, when we read Scripture, We shouldn't look first and foremost to see what is saying about us. Or even saying to us, we should look first and foremost to what the scripture is showing us about God. Here you have this scenario where when things are at a fever pitch in Israel, the most unlikely source of respite comes through. Lepers. Nobody would have expected anything from lepers. Then you have the lepers taking stock of their circumstances. We sit here, we die. We go there, we may die. But if we sit here, it's a certainty that we will die.

  6. 10:59

    If we go there, it's not necessarily certain that we will die. And so in that instance, they take, they confer with one another. Well, right foot, left foot, let's go. Right foot, left foot, let's go. And as they are walking, unbeknownst to them, they have no clue what God is doing in the ears of the Syrians. No clue, but the Scriptures gives us that peak. Verse 6, the Syrians here, the sound of horses and chariots bearing down on them and is such an imminent reality to them that they stop everything in the middle of what they're doing. You can envision fires burning in furniture, not literal furniture like we have, but like beds still there and certain proteins being still roasted and edges on the run, leaving everything left gold, silver, and everything. And when they arrive at the Syrian camp, much of their surprise. Oh snap, nobody's here. Now think about this, remember, theirs was famine. It's not just that they were lepers, it was famine in Israel. So they are eating food, gathering stuff. They don't know what they're hiding stuff. Then all of a sudden, wait a minute. We're not doing right. And they had a real awareness that we should not enjoy all of those ourselves. We need to report this and report it immediately. Now the thing that I wanna focus more on is verse three. Why are we sitting here until we die? I believe one of the things that Lord is showing us is that he spurs his people by giving them an agitation, a restlessness, so to speak.

  7. 13:03

    All right? There's an internal working. So when he can't attribute it to some like, you know, Charleston, Heston, come on over here. Well, you know, James Earl Jones's voice, thou shalt walk toward the Syrian cab. Some of you are listening to me and you're watching the things that are going on. You know what's happening in your own families And there's just this, this, this kind of unsettled thing on hand side. And it's there and it doesn't abate, you know, it doesn't go away. It's just there and it's there and it's there and it's there and it's there. And you can't kind of explain it. What I am saying to you is don't limit that to a human phenomena. You've heard me say on the show, many, many, many, many, many times God has sovereignly ordained the times in which we would live and where we would live. with a lot of us in this audience can see all kinds of things happening. And we know it shouldn't be in this way in all senses. And what I'm saying is God is not in the business of having his people simply to be spectators and analysts as to what happens. He's called us to follow him in obedience. And as I've been saying and I will continue to say you and I can never predict the outcome of our obedience. God gives us the express honor and privilege to obey Him. Obedience is the prize because of the one who is summoning. So my encouragement for you this evening is to not limit your assessment of that internal unsettleness to a human phenomenon, but welcome the Lord to reveal to you, Lord, what are you requiring of me? And give me the grace to respond to you in obedience. Sometimes I'm not a very good Christian, and the Lord still seems to love me and do good things for me. Grace is an outside force that works good in my life, rather than good pouring forth from what I do. For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. In my own spiritual life, I'd much rather ask a loving Savior to take control. I'm Ed Vatagniano, and you can read the rest of, For the Grace of God has appeared at the stand dot net shining light into the darkness this is the Hamilton quarter an american family radio welcome back to the Hamilton corner Abraham Hamilton the third here please join me and our audience here in praying for the people in florida north and south carolina Georgia Tennessee that have been affected by hurricane holland as I mentioned the confirmed death toll has during a briefing today, Homeland Security Advisor Liz Sherwood Randall suggested that there is still as many as 600 people who have not been accounted for to date. There are areas of the country harder hit than others, but there is all kinds of tragedy. Some places are still without water. Some places are still without electricity. This the storm made landfall as a category for hurricane. And if you are able incapable to provide some material assistance to people in those areas, please do what you can. I know that our friends at our sister ministry at eight days of hope are on the ground there already. And I would suggest that that is a great place to direct your research resources to primarily because we know them at eight days of hope we know how they run their ministry. And frankly, I hate to have to say this, but I would avoid places like Red Cross and others that have been known, unfortunately, to be less than good stewards of other resources. I'll say it that way. But it's just heartbreaking.

  8. 17:23

    Having survived the directly, the ravages of Hurricane Katrina, you know, my heart goes out to these people and almost like, man, serious. There's another tropical storm that's forming right now in Atlantic Ocean, tropical storm Kirk. And this is according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center that they are monitoring it and attempting to prepare people there depending on what all transpires there. So just the suffering of the people, man, is what is just just calling and it's heart wrenching to hear and learn so many of these stories. They're in many indications of neighbors helping one another, loving one another, serving one another. And I just pray for the people in that air as well. As you've heard me saying many, many, many times, I don't go looking for this stuff, but it just continually occurs and And it's sickening, you know, and I mean sickening, nauseating. I mean, it that way. Nauseating to see these things happen over and over and over again. And when you pointed out, you know, I'm thinking about the brother who called the show last week saying it, man, I'm talking to people in my neighborhood and talking to people in my community, my spheres of influence. And they don't know the stuff that you're reporting on the show. They don't hear that stuff. And it is true. And I know it's true because there are people that have an entirely, I would say, evil, demonic, and anti-US constitutional view of the world.

  9. 19:34

    And they see the United States of America as an impediment. And I was asked, I was on today's issues last week. And I was asked, why does, why do people like George Soros have such a hatred for the United States of America? And the reality is that these people, many of them are globalists, advocates for global governance, and they see the US as the last square peg that won't go into a round hole. So in order to have the globalist panacea, they have to see the US brought to heel. And this is what many people want. And so you have former Secretary of State, I can't believe it, former presidential candidate. I mean, this, this, this dude was almost president of the United States. He participated last week in a, let me give you the formal name for it, or a forum, and they called it the impact forum at the World Economic Forum. And it was a panel on green energy and investing in sustainable development. I'm gonna play the whole thing and then and then I'm going to have to unpack it for you But where John Kerry gets in front of an international audience and basically Lament and and like publicly Expresses his frustration and even almost exhaustion at the fact that we have a first amendment And because of the first amendment what he said is that it's it's it's so difficult to govern now and by word govern And I don't think he means what he, what you think he means. But I want you to listen to his remarks for yourself and watch the video for those who are watching the show. You get to see his body language. You get to see all of it. This is John Kerry describing that the First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to hammer what he describes as disinformation out of existence.

  10. 21:39

    Clip number one, go. And it's part of our problem, particularly in democracies, in terms of building consensus around any issue. It's really hard to govern today. You can't, you know, there's no, the referees we used to have to determine what's a fact and what isn't a fact. They've kind of, you know, been eviscerated to a certain degree. And people go and that people self-select, where they go for their news or for their information. And then you just get into a vicious cycle. So it's really, really hard, much harder to build consensus today than at any time in the 45, 50 years I've been involved in this. And there's a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you're going to have some accountability on facts, et cetera. But look, if people go to only one source and the source they go to is sick and has an agenda and they're putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just hammer it out of existence. So what you need, what we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern by hopefully having winning enough votes that you're free to be able to implement change. Now, obviously, there are some people in our country who are prepared to implement change in other ways. And that's where we're standing. So, you're questioning really if democracy can survive unreadily. I think democracy is a very challenged right now and have not proven they can move fast enough or big enough to deal with the challenges that we are facing. And to me, that is part of what this race, this election is all about, will we break the fever in the United States?

  11. 23:40

    Will we break the fever? What fever? Now, y'all know I'm just an equal opportunity truth teller, but I have the transcript of his remarks and I want to take my time to walk through some of this. So he begins the conversation by refusing to identify the unique distinction that the U.S. as because our nation is not a democracy. Y'all heard me say this numerous times. It's a constitutional republic with democratic features. And I intentionally stressed that because the efforts to continually describe our nation as a democracy is an effort to obscure our representative government with the unique feature of a constitution that serves as the ultimate authoritative legal source for our constitutional republic, that we have the wherewithal to change if we do so, but it requires the persuasion of your neighbor. But as it is, and I've said this to you before, I'm going to say it again, as it is with all totalitarian, as it is with all anti-constitutionless, what they despise. What they despise is the diffusion of powers, the separation of powers with the systems of checks and balances that require popular participation in order to effectively accomplish governmental objectives, particularly at the federal level. So he goes on to say, quote, it's really hard to govern today. Let me go back. Quote, it is our problem. It is part of our problem, particularly in democracies, in terms of building consensus around any issue. It's really hard to govern today. End quote. Question, Mr. Kerry, when you say the word govern, do you really mean govern?

  12. 25:43

    Or do you mean control? See, when there are diverging opinions, those who are interested in serving the populace with diverging opinions don't limit the difficulty and control in those opinions. But you lament your ability to control those opinions because you're not interested in serving the populace. He's not what he's lamenting is not a not an issue of governance. He's lamenting the inability to effectively impose top down government forced control of the masses. That is what he's lamenting. And you think he say that same thing in a speech in the United States of America? No, see, when you get comfortable, when you get around your fellow South Paws, not for pitching purposes, but for ideological purposes, then you start saying what you really believe. He's lamenting the ability to control. And then he further confirms that because he says, quote, you can't you see the referees we used to have to determine what is a fact and was isn't what is in effect kind of have kind of been eviscerated. Pause. I don't remember us having a bureau of factual determination. Do you? We used to have, you know, the word news comes from North East, West, and South. We simply going to share it to you what's going on. And you clear thinking American citizens who ultimately are tasked with the responsibility of holding your representatives accountable, you determine what is true. But the reason why he's lamenting the referees, because remember back in the day, there was unanimous viewpoint in terms of what information the American people received. tend to forget because of recency bias that the whole Fox News wrestling barking on drum just started in the 90s. What Lurch is lamenting is that back in the day it was easier to control because we had limited viewpoints that the public had access to but that's what he's lamenting but now he's upset quote and people go and self-select where they get where they go for their news and for the information in quote what's the problem bro if we just talking information how about this how about this how about we let all of the information get access to the american people you know kind of like there's this laptop thing that was discovered and how would the people vote if that was allowed if the people voting before knew that on the front end now people listen to this program knew all about the laptop but there are lots of people who didn't know about the laptop, but they voted.

  13. 28:54

    Then when they learned the laptop existed, what did they say? I would have voted on a different. See, these people are totalitarian. Don't let the suit and ties fool you. Just because they don't have swastikas on their arm doesn't mean they don't have swastikas in their hearts. When I mean my swastikas, I don't mean merely anti-Semitism because there are a lot of anti-Semites who share that worldview. But what I am talking about, what I am talking about, is a desire to impose national socialism. National socialism. You do realize this with the Nazi stands for in German. And notice I said impose it. He goes on quote, so it's really hard, much harder to build consensus today than at any time in the 40, 50 years I've been involved in this, end quote. Quick question, Marty, Jeff, Bobby, now I help me, is it the government's job to build consensus? Is that the government's job? building consensus. I've read the Constitution quite a bit. I don't remember seeing the Constitution say it's a government job to build consensus. And in Article 1, Article 2, no, no. So why is lurch lamenting in front of a European audience of world economic foreigners? It's much harder to build consensus than at any time. Oh, so now you're admitting in the time that you viewed as being so glowing, that was far easier to build consensus for what purpose. Building consensus is not a governmental objective, but it is. If you wear shirts, celebrate, and take a bowder. And then he goes on to letters, say the not so quiet parts out loud, quote, you know, you know, you know, friends, there's a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities.

  14. 31:08

    Curp those entities in order to guarantee that you're going to have some accountability on the facts. See, this is the thing that people feel to realize. We have laws in the United States of America that prevent defamation. That's why Nicholas Salmon ain't never going to work a day in his life because he has to. But you notice, but you notice they don't want to use those laws because you know what? What often seems to lurch and many of those others. We have to crush disinformation. We talked last week about that term was coined by Stalin, and Joseph Stalin in the 90s, I'm sorry, 1920s, this information we historically understood all the thing you needed to do to confront a lie was tell the truth. But you see what Lurch's problem is, is that he doesn't want his folks lies exposed. So when you can say in 2021, oh, three weeks to flatten the curve. And then realize, Rhett Row, scarf lady comes out, yeah, that was a lie from the beginning, we, you know, That's how we had to get it started. These folks are totalitarianists. Those who place their faith in Jesus are elevated to an extraordinary position. As co-heirs with Christ, we share in His inheritance. The gospel is the ultimate dignity giver, elevating the unworthy to unimaginable heights. Our lives should reflect the dignity, empowering us to extend the same grace and love to others that has been so generously given to us. I'm Jordan Shambly, and you can read the rest of the gospel signifies the undignified on the stand.net. Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Comment Terrence are available at aFR.net, back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.

  15. 33:14

    Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton, III here. Listen, I'm going through these comments the way that I am because my prayer is that this audience that your ears perk up when you hear this kind of stuff, just like mine do. Like these guys hide or attempt to hide their utter disdain for the United States of America as she is constituted and they are actively working to fundamentally transform her into something he has never been. So when you see things like out of control, spending to where there is no way this is sustainable, guys that is not an accident. It is not an accident. So, Lurch goes on, it's John Kerry. Quote, but look, if people only go to one source and the source they go to is sick, and you know, has an agenda, and they're putting out this information, oh, you mean like the American prophet? You mean like ABC saying, we're gonna fact check Trump and nobody else during the presidential debate, that's what you mean? Nah, that's not what you mean. That's not what you mean. He continues quote, our first amendment stands as a major block to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence and quote, wow. Wow. Guys, this is evil. Listen, I am concerned over the bulkiness of America. Yes. But my answer to that is not, Hey, you know what? I mean, that pesky first amendment just gets in the way every time. Because these people in our country have this thing that they have the freedom to speak what they want to speak.

  16. 35:15

    It's such an inconvenient imposition to what we really need to do, which is hammer it out of existence. Now, I would ask you, what is the it you think he's referring to? Well, let us contextualize his statements. Remember what he said earlier? It's really hard, much harder to build consensus. It's really hard. It's hard to govern today. You know, there's a lot of discussion of the need to curb those entities. Now, in light of those previous contextual statements, what is it that you think he wants to hammer out of existence? It's dissent. What he wants to hammer out of existence, and what a metaphor to employ, right? What he wants to hammer out of existence is that pesky American penchant to not just go along to get along. You know that thing that resulted in these folks gathering and pinning this letter on July 4th, 1776? You know that pesky pincer that they have to wait a minute. If something is going wrong to actually say something about it, they're freedoms to assemble and freedoms to seek redress of grievances against the government and freedom to speak. I'm concerned about the organization, but my answer is not to crush dissenting opinions. I have no problem. I would welcome the opportunity to go on the view, to talk to Joy Reid, to go on all these shows, but you know what? They don't want to talk to me. But I would love to talk to them because I have no problem. When you have bad ideas and bad arguments that are prevalent, the answer is better argument. The answer is not to crush their opportunity to speak their argument. I don't think the answer, but this is the totalitarian answer.

  17. 37:17

    Guys, this is wicked. Again, suited and tied and sitting around the table and talking so just like, well, you know, truly in order to accomplish what we need to accomplish, we really need to get rid of a couple of billion people. Just saying it so calmly and casually when these people despise. Which is why they say things like, a basket of deplorables. Which is why they say things like, clinging to their guns and their religion. to the guns of the religion when it's the religion and the use of some guns that allowed us to say we hold these shoes to be self-evident That we're endowed by our creator Well golly gee creator doesn't that kind of guys? This is wild to hammer it out of existence and you don't even recognize that when you Bobby not we're talking about this during the break as he's making these comments It is people who share his view of the world that own the majority of the outlets that access the American people. For those of you who are listening to this program, many of you have had to search it out to find it. You went and just stroll into the airport and oh, there's no aid on the TV screen, that ain't happen. The amount of outlets that are available that offer a contrarian viewpoint to the prevailing American, probably the narrative are still the minority. But this is the thing with totalitarian, they cannot abide any decent. hence the reference to Joseph Gerbels and Gerbels Inc. Because in order to continue to have the trains filled with people on their way to gas chambers and the citizens won't say, you know what it's kind of bad we'll be doing now.

  18. 39:20

    You have to shape their minds with ideas. And that is what's happening guys. So then Lurch drops this bomb of conclusion, which just summed it all up, quote, I think democracies are very challenged right now and have not proven they can move fast enough or big enough to deal with the challenges they are facing. Now, I'm not married to Teresa Hines, heiress of the Checha Fortune, shout out to my man butter doing life in the box. I'm not married to Teresa Hines. But I can't read. Now, in order for the United States federal government to be involved in anything, how many people doesn't require to participate? You have in the House of Representatives, you have 435 representatives, and in the US Senate, you have 100 senators with the presidential evaluation to veto or not to veto. Oh, that's 536 people to have to participate in order to do anything. Do you think the Founding Fathers created our federal government to be a rapid responder to anything? No! It's meant to be a deliberative entity. Why? Because the founders understood Jeremiah 179 and that a privative to human heart and the founders created a federal apparatus that was never meant to respond quickly because the sinfulness of man's heart is fickle, easily inflamed, can be aroused by the Megagery and so they created a diffuse system of government with separation of powers with checks and balances that requires deliberative consideration. It's supposed to be a rapper responder.

  19. 41:24

    Oh, but what can move more swiftly and efficiently? A centralized Politburo. So then what do you do if you want a centralized Politburo? Well, I'm just glad you asked. You work incrementally and surreptitiously to get the government to be, to get a monopoly on the training of the hearts and minds of American subsequent generations. I mean, you don't want them reading things like the Declaration of Independence when you see that the government's arrived is just power from the consent of the government. And if government does exceed the boundaries of its scope in his just function, then the citizens have a right to cast off those restraints. Or we don't want them reading that. We don't want them reading that. So what we do is we use government to infiltrate the system of training the hearts and minds of America's subsequent generations, and so that they forget things like the Declaration of Independence. And they are conveniently ignorant of what the separation of powers is supposed to be. And because of their ignorance, we can take more and more and more of their freedoms, and they won't even know what's coming. And the next thing you know, you have a populace that is saying, man, we need the government as the answer to any question. Oh, there's a float over here. We need the government to respond. Oh, there's some people hungry over here. We need the government to respond. Oh, we need a building over here. We need the government to respond. We need the government to go. The government, the government, the government. The government, the government. Whoa, slow down. The uniqueness of the United States of America is that the prize within the nation is her people. We are a people, unlike people before us, that we don't look to the government for everything. But over time, remove civics from the educational discourse, remove economics from educational discourse, tax the people to point them to government as the end all be all. Replace God with government. And then you could say stupid stuff like this, man, what a government ain't moving fast enough.

  20. 43:27

    The government ain't never been made to move fast, chief. And if there's any rapid response from any government or entities, it's supposed to be the government that's closest to the people. Now we can't have them understanding that. So let's dumb them down, make them dasau, get them to the place where they don't have the capacity to ask the question that the four lepers asked. Man, we see what's over there with those Syrians. And we see the feminists behind us in the city. Why do we sit here? We used to understand as a nation that the first place that people would go to when they considered the need for charity, is that they would go to the church. That used to be a collectible understanding in America. Now things are so top-to-tirpy, we have people in government that are seeking ever so feverously to shut the church down. Oh, well, there's a threat of a virus. Wuhan flew is running a mutt. Keep the strip clubs open, keep the liquor joints open, keep the big box stores open, but shut the churches down. The churches don't know up from down, so the churches are eager to, oh, oh, oh, to love my neighbor. I have to, I have to buy the government. Do you see? And this is what Lurch is starting with in front of the world economic forum. Governments aren't moving fast enough nor big enough. No, you know why? Because our nation we constructed so that the federal government to apparatus was supposed to remain small. You know, there's this thing, you know, ninth and 10th amendment to US constitutions. Maybe I, to the US constitution, maybe I'm interested. But I remember distinctly reading, Any powers not expressly given to the federal government in this document. If it ain't in here, the feds can't do it. Any rights, any powers not enumerated herein are expressly reserved to the states and the citizens.

  21. 45:38

    Hey, that's in there? Yup. So you? You mean to tell... Wait, everything that they're supposed to be doing from Capitol Hill is supposed to be... Yes, yes. This is why what I'm saying to you, when the scripture says that we are rushing out against flesh and blood, but against spiritual wickedness in high places, spiritual wickedness can be presented in a suit and tie. It can wear suit and ties. When you see, lurch on the world stage lamenting the ability to build consensus and to curb entities that allow pesky information to be distributed that we don't want distributed, you are looking at the moderation of the same ideology that drove a Joseph Stalin that drove drove a Vladimir Lenin that drove a pole popped that drove my mouth say tongue that drove tegevada that drove Fidel Castro that drove the the Nicaraguan rebellion that drove the Venezuela Hugo Chavez it continues to rear its ugly head because it's the same ideology folks. It's the same mindset. But thanks be to God, you and I can never predict what the Lord would do with our obedience. And I know some of you might say, man, but it's so, look, look, I don't see a way out of this. Did you think those lepers saw that? Wait a minute, the famine will end. You read the rest of the account, not only did the famine end, the famine ended that day, but it began with the lepers. Well, it began with the Lord telling Elijah, It's gonna go down.

  22. 48:04

    And then as the Lord saying that to you, Lycia, the leprosy, why sit we here? Why, why, why, why we sit here? Why are we gonna keep sitting here? We see what's going on over there and we know what's going on behind us. Why don't we get up? I'm saying the same thing to us. Why do we sit here? Why don't we get up? Tell the truth, man. Share with people gently, lovingly. One of the main things we need to do. It's to share information with people. They might get mad, they might get upset, but eventually truth prevails.
