If you're unable to get through yesterday on through the Jewish Thursday.

Those calls are welcomed as well. Michael Brown welcome to broadcast 866-34-TRUTH 866-34-TRUTH 87884.

And yet, was many many years back when I would listen to Rush Limbaugh driving into my office in Maryland so many years back he did was called open line Friday and people just call in and read the start off, probably with a monologue, but no people just call in and you go whichever direction the calls went in his as we were looking at different subjects were different days or days are wide open.

I thought you get a difference a good day for us to do kind of a similar thing so that's that's where the idea came from. I think some others had done it as well, but we been doing this for many years so the earlier you get through the better chance we have of taking your call, and by the way, if you differ with me on something or if you seen some YouTube video about me and you have a concern when asked. That's fine work were good. We were used to questions and probing all of that 866-3487 84 let us start over in will go to Hawaii Derek, welcome to the line of fire off a back bent talk about all offer that are active are like your my question is I believe the Jewish people right now biblical, the land of Israel, question and on a larger bell. Do you believe that an ethnic date for each country, something that along you of the people of that country you think it will delete for it are already think that every country can have a foreign help regarding an ethnic majority still okay.

It is far as a defined right if God is given a specific promise to the people like to the people of Israel and if he did it unconditionally based on his his love for the patriarchs on anything that that they had done and you have that statement regardless his resemblance on the five in the clearest possible terms that he himself gave the land to Israel and their other passages in the many, many others were.

He promises that rates we have that specifically, do we have for example, that God said to Moab or on loan that these will always be your borders or Edom. It was these will always be your borders not necessarily as there are nations that don't exist anymore or the population just got subsumed by another population, but we do have is this a look let's read in acts. The 17th chapter in this kind of gives the idea of how things were laid out, but in terms of an absolute permanence, the, the right for people to be in the land would be ethical, meaning if this is your ancestral homeland and now someone for no good reason, is trying to destroy you and wipe you out. That would be ethnically wrong, saying excuse me ethically wrong thing, not so much because God gave you that land of the those of always been that the borders also opposes this verse 24 of act 17. The God who made the world and everything in it being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man the recess or by human hands, so we needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything they need from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, haven't determined allotted periods and the boundaries of a dwelling place that they should seek God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him so you could say that God established borders the same in Deuteronomy 32 eight that there are borders got established and we should hold to them. We know that things have shifted over the centuries, and I don't know that you can lay out okay this is the original border that you know America's borders expanded right different different ones have expanded or contracted over the centuries. So to me once. Some is in a homeland once they live there and and and they themselves did not take it over in a in a ruthless and destructive way then for someone to displace them would be unethical, but you could make the appeal to say will that's that's always the borders that God gave Donald on the how many nations on the earth that applies to to the stated these were the original borders and their origin and their still the same today.I appreciate that and yeah I'll have sure I love I love your debate that a particular debate check whether or not any rabbi rocked your enablement.

Recently we've always like to debate them.

I know that the Jewish people turning to them. If I am realizing him. Karen is returned.

So I think your debate is really gonna help accelerate that you I think are undefeated about the check, and if you have anything on the first, thanks for the very kind words and and we each do our part right in Livingston County lies in reaching out to Jim Gentile alike, and thereby hastening the Lord's return, but for sure Israel's salvation is is a critical component in all that Revelation always always happy to debate me if we have the right setting in this funding to set the thing up and bring him in, etc. he will never step back from a debate with me in it.

Of course would become dear friends along the way we were unable to get any rabbi's thus far on this new show that I'm doing on the awakening TV network that's debatable. So I did a to base. We recorded them a few months back and are now starting to air, but none with any rabbi's and Robin Mizrachi know he's is flat out refused. We've given every opportunity reached out every different way we could in fact that is just a quick history of that. So he debated a very sincere Christian man but one that would not have been prepared so much for Jewish debate and a Christmas Rockies is look at this great victory and we humiliated the Christian etc. and and so you know that the covenant viral. So of someone said hey I know him and I think you be willing to debate was great. So put us in touch so he writes to Mrs. okay before I'll debate you have to answer these questions is like ABC kind of stuff is art, so I have to present to you to do better know your you know you're out on Internet of your presentence US will actually all materials in my volumes you want to read it already written the whole piece I wrote all the volumes was to not answer the same questions over and around about your volumes. I'll send you freight. Note note note so then he says that before I debate the sky the video he's got answer the following questions. I thought now do a video, I give the ABC answers on the video while I debate my ready debated question among then friends in Israel at a time borrows a history debate in Hebron is now you want to insult. We will make the effort we keep reaching out, but I I I trust as the days go on, that the Lord will open up more doors for debates, and more importantly this will be more discussion within his analysis of this last thing when I was in Israel.

A few years back with a tour group in Jerusalem's old city of Jerusalem and it was her last day will be flying out later that night and we just a little free time, milling around and the guy comes out to be ultra-Orthodox to Dr. Brown I watch her debates always. I love your debate so I watched with my friends I said hang out you watch the adventure ultra-Orthodox is yeah love you debates really appreciate them so really took an interest in them, but he did not look like a typical ultra-Orthodox guy and I said, she raised in this is not out to be candid, I was raised in a Christian home is a really Christian, I converted to Judaism and now you're living here Orthodox life, etc. in ultra-Orthodox. I said what about your friends that watch oil. Most of them all raised ultra-Orthodox Jews assume greatness of the cement journey. You keep study you. Keep praying you seek. Keep seeking God seeking the truth and describe this thing I can play like to meet you. So he walks away.

So I got some of the folks from the turgor bacillus pray for this young man is pray that God would really get hold of him and revealed Yeshua to him. We finished praying from a lookup he's walking back. He was then I can believe I saw you unless I take a picture with you so, so we took a picture so that's the kind of stuff Derek happening behind the scenes and in and we hear periodically. Not all the time, but periodically from secret viewers secret seekers among the very, very religious and some of think they can't they can't publicly say anything we can send the materials, because they only have a home address and the community can come in their homes. We keep praying the Lord will open hearts and minds of course are so many other voices getting the message out.

Hey, thanks again for the good word it 6634 truth. Let's go to John and Pensacola, Florida. Welcome to the line of fire, and dark brown thanks for remembering your God bless you and your ministry. You want on your debate that her brother just got done talking to McGowen. I pray for your comment on what you think quality dues are. Thank you, especially thanks for praying.

I really appreciate that differ. My question is this okay so I wrote down the falcon robotic forgive me about it about the young think it's about the gifts from the Holy Spirit. So is the arm of the gift of the Holy Spirit on Stanton and the book of Judges Aquaphor in 14 thick yeah those never use that gift of strength that gift is not listed in first Corinthians 12 six through 11.

My question is is there reason for that was that is, or any other examples were that gift of strength for judgment.

Use by another person in the Scripture. And if not, then why not just block them. The historical means of that time I got just one display that with Stanton only would I be more of a miracle like the flooding of the Red Sea, so that none of my question continental Durbin on the house is perfectly clear. In other words there. There are certain things that God does to his people and and continues in the New Testament that are our normal that that are typical.

So for example you had people prophesying in the Old Testament.

Yet people prophesying in the New Testament, you have certain instances of the dead being raised in the Old Testament to be raised in the New Testament sick being healed in the Old Testament succumb healed in the New Testament as far as Samson and that supernatural strength of that that was a specific thing God can do anything at any time through anyone right Jesus walks on water. We have Peter trying to do it and starts due then fails not have records of anyone else doing it, but God can do anything through anyone that he chooses to present the norm and was Samson. This was just something God did remember he was the leader of the nation which included being a military leader being a fighter.

This is part of God, demonstrating his power, but it was unique, saying was Samson but but I will get back to first with its 12. On the other side of the brakes. The writer. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown thanks rings for joining us online for Haywood got a rare line or to open this and often happen on a Friday so if you try to get through this a perfect time to call 866-348-7884.

So back to John and Pensacola. There are many scholars who look at first Corinthians 12 and say this is a representative list of the different ways the Holy Spirit works through us works in the church but not an exhaustive list because if you go over Romans 12 pulses things a little differently there. So in in Romans chapter 12 we read this pulses for by the grace given to me through verse three, I say to everyone among you must think of himself more highly than he ought to think what to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith because assigned aces will one body we all have different gifting's etc. and he says this having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them.

If prophecy proportion to our faith.

If service and are serving one teaches in his teaching one exhorts us exultation when he contributes in generosity leads with zeal. What does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness, so those seem to be different types of gifts, but has prophecy in there as well. So, some would say that there are numerous gifts beyond nine listed in the New Testament terms of supernatural ways that God works through us, but the specific thing is for Samson that was that was just something God did in covenant with him. He could do through any of us at any time right if there was the need for physical supernatural strength to work a miracle to save a life or glorify him.

He could do it but it simply nothing promise nothing. We should pray for all God given to me like he gave it Samson know that's that would be inappropriate was just a specific thing he did for specific purpose at a specific time so hope that helps answer question. Thank you so much for God bless appreciate it.

866342. Let's get our friend Todd in Cedar Grove, North Carolina. Welcome to the line of fire like Dr. Brown I have a question about a couple of Hebrew idiom that are repeated and solved 60 and 108 editorial speaking about or the way up. If I watch part and over Edom I will cast out much you want that signify it's it's really not so much idiomatic. In other words it's it's basically speaking of of sovereignty over dominion over or the other side. Speaking of them in a in a lesser lower way so not as exalted and high but just in these you know and in these lowly ways and and you know Moab in Scripture is often the associate with pride and Edom. Of course it opponent of of Israel and Judah. Over the centuries, so this is just a way of God speaking of his sovereignty power over them, and of their lowliness of I wouldn't take it is a is a specific unique Hebrew idiom that we have to understand the life and culture to grass I think we get it. General idea just by reading it in English. All right I have one question on another subject, really quickly.

I got up I don't been a while since you spoke about a young but what is the latest about Rick while I don't know. I know that YouTube removed his channel. I know that I've never received any statement from him repenting of his anti-Semitic rhetoric with true news. We put out of the Christian anti-Semitism came out in February I document things there in detail. There was never any contacting us. After that, or willingness to debate me publicly or come on the air with me or me on the air with him to debate the issues so I don't know if he has repented.

If he's taken a better turn it in this regard. I'm not aware of it. If he's entrenched himself more deeply unaware of it as his ministry goes on his organization goes on, but his YouTube channels remove so I've no FTP on that server. Thanks, thanks for asking.

And may the Lord's truth and grace prevail in in Rick's heart, 866-34-TRUTH we go to Christian in Ohio. You are now on the line of fire. Thanks for calling bro hey man who quickly wanted Bible to light by Rupert the person's birth group. You will that all things are lawful for me, but not all things are notebook envelope.

Note in so people tell you that that's out of the you become a Christian.

We could do our thing. Even if it's a little bit bearable because if they are our year like talking about.

Yeah most translators and interpreters understand that Paul is quoting the Corinthians there and responding to them they say okay now all things are lawful yeah but not everything is helpful.

All things awful yeah, but I can come under the power of any them so that's Paul's response to their quotes and and you'll find most modern translations will put those words in quotes, all things are lawful close like no you may say that every technically you can argue this, but is not helpful so he's rebutting that mindset are good. Are you going to burn in all know you wanted to reserve a young bully like a in a home. He was starting to like over a year to baptize notice the accident on the most applicable thing in red and everything in about a year later on. Never got those little Eddie feel grounded rest was bent by the light hundred men in it, broke apart because he would like. I was begging for over a year… But then you go about by the management server.

You didn't tell me about current net then… The you know the vaccine order was deleted, because they were the third.

Don't feel like going yeah I would do my best to make one last effort to reach out and to sit down big churches. It pretty good. Victor delivered to Vespasian and inspected the.okay so obviously the larger the church, the harder it is to meet directly with the pastor, for obvious reasons and a few got 15,000 people in the church ever wants to meet with you.

You will never never leave the house immediately.

You believe people 24 seven. I would just what I would do is I would ask you to meet with us on pastoral staff. There and tell them what happened and if they have some kind of all we are so sorry we had no clue that is absolutely terrible and we will reach out and fix this.

Please forgive us. There was a miscommunication, etc. I had something I was dealing with a major publisher about something over a period of a few months, but I never heard back from them I thought they just dropped the project only to find out that there was a miss communication and someone thought I was going to be reaching out to them. So they're waiting to hear from me.

So back in touch if they don't respond in that way if they just like, well, whatever you know we can't we can track every person or etc. then it's just not the place was gonna get cared for, so I I would give it one last shot to see was it some misunderstanding some miscommunication if otherwise he likes the church and enjoys being there. If if they don't respond in a humble and gracious way and make him feel welcome and that his life matters to them, then I'd I move on you know and and and asked the Lord to bring me into another place where there could be better relationships and you know you will feel like you're neglected that with my counsel. All right you Batman. God bless you, 866-34-TRUTH. Let us go to Michael in Puerto Rico. Welcome to the line of fire. Not sure what you're turning towards Iran, but the president and back in charge and hundreds of people to judge and not only that, the younger terrorist attacks against the Iraq interior that Iran is is is attacking US troops and not only that, but you have the potential weapons being developed, so I just want to do my opinion, Dr. Brown and Joe Biden is furious about cutting a message to China concerning democracy and human rights I should start deliberating to random people and restoring the lobby of dynasty with checks and balances my opinion that I should break during and what what is your opinion on this issue. I believe that the treaty was terrible. I believe that Donald Trump did the right thing in revoking that that the policy of trying to bring down the regime through sanctions and to work behind the scenes with reformer parties is the right thing to do that the current government is one of the world's leaders exporting terrorism that was horrifically misguided to give them hundreds of billions of dollars in frozen assets of which then not Nunnally went to the rating people, but a lot of it went right back to terrorism so they are destructive dangerous regime. I do not believe that is our business to go in and overthrow the government.

I do not believe that the key is to restore the clubby dynasty this for the reigning people to work out but there's enough of an undercurrent growing and even of the sanctions are very painful and hurt the nation as a whole.

It's that very thing that gets the populace to rise up and push out the current government so oppressive and of course there's been a pushback for years against the Islamic extremism and things like that so I I differed strongly with Pres. Obama's policy. I agree with Pres. trumps. I disagree with Pres. Biden. I believe on that side the Democrats of I've really missed it and deal with Iran and its right to treat their leadership is hostile, dangerous terroristic, but to really recognize that the people need our help in this. We have to figure out is to help get to those that want to bring reform who wanted to help empower and strengthen them and when they cry out for help.

Say he were here were here standing with. Thank you for the call for cleansing the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown if you would like to call me with questions.

We will send you a free mini book 7 secrets of the real Messiah. In fact it's condensed from the real kosher Jesus, which is just come out in Hebrew should be reading in English.

We put together new books coming out things like that so make sure you take a minute to sign up a SK your Brown.Borg okay with that.

We go back to the phones. Let's go to Stephen in Tampa, Florida. Welcome to the line of fire run are you doing well. Thanks. Have a question about my favorite part of the Bible. Psalm 61 one group or that helped me during a time when I lost my dad back in 2018.

And you know when I read that verse and I see David. They lead me to the rock that tired and I had to call yeah cry, you know, like in today's world automatically. What David would've thought. I know that in the Bible, visual stuff on the earth is very common book, came to mind was with Moses on being right up on the on the mall or not.

I think there's similar but it kind want to get your thought of that advert and make a kind want to be. I am sure glad to do so in verse three Ceja RS LSI claw but totally be good so you will be many times handy so as it is and in English. So from from a from the ends of the earth from the end of the land I call to my heart is faint.

You lead me to rock that is higher than the are high above me. So I think two things are involved here, and I'm glad this this passage is been of comfort you would have as it has to so many on the one hand, there's a physical image right that God brings you to to rock of safety. And that's when Scripture he's referred to as our rock on which it starts with the physical image so he's the one in whom we take refuge we we we climb up on this rock and are safer, we hide behind this rock or or that he he provides the refuge for us that the place to which we flee. And now, where were higher up you know we kind of change our perspective and can take a breath at the same time God was known as the rock of Israel, and in this this word sewer. To this day is used in Hebrew prayer books to speak of God as as our rocks rain or rock of so I don't think there's any way that David would reference this without also thinking of God himself has that rock so it's it's a twofold meaning that the imagery is being lifted up to a rock higher than us, but ultimately yes that that rock is God himself, or she would say was first Corinthians that the 10th chapter Christ himself that the rock that followed Israel in the wilderness, so it's really a right way to interpret it in and it's not wrenching anything out of context, reading something into it. That would be inappropriate. That's beautiful.

Thank you for that explanation yeah and and how old was your dad when you lost him all on he would pick Devon and I would 2023 God it yes it's such a young age my dad died suddenly at at 63 and I was 21. With that happen so it cannot pay per click to yeah go ahead. Sure yeah I will. My life is very busy and I were just about the long-term and pertinent services on her church.

I'm getting married in November and graduate in December how hot I like going on my right will you let's let's just agree everyone of you really don't take prayer requests of the children. Of course the choice like this were very glad to so let's pray Lord lift lift Stephen up to that rock that is higher than him, given your perspective, your wisdom, your grace, made everything fall into place as he leans on you. In Jesus name.

Hey God bless and thank you for the call 866343 go to Kathy in St. Louis, Missouri. Welcome to the line of fire. Hi Dr. Brown wonderful that we can call your take on question glad to do it. I pray in three verses in Revelation, letter, place of the seven there God you don't find an expansionary of the individual names of them that I know of one teacher or one teacher stated tonight 11, two and three) expelled after seven. I was wondering why more Bible teachers don't tell you more about the Y by the holy Bearden, and John wrote Revelation doesn't have them) and print behind the bench with mentions in Revelation. Maybe haven't read enough Bible. I know it's not that you haven't missed anything I missed anything. So, some simply understand it to mean the sevenfold Spirit of God because there is only one Holy Spirit right in at seven holy spirits is only one Holy Spirit, so some take the seven spirits of God to just be a way of saying the sevenfold Spirit of God and then some. As you mention point twice in the 11th chapter, the spirit that's on the Messiah and it basically live seven different aspects of that including the, the fear of the Lord.

So it's it's possible that it means seven different aspects of the Holy Spirit, or seven manifestations or workings of the Holy Spirit there something that's seven different spirits, but of it. It also seven.

Of course, be the number of perfection and completion can be.

Speaking of the Holy Spirit in that regard, but simply stated, there is not more information other words, there is not more to be taught because there's not more information about it and it is something we see, especially in the in the book of Revelation.

So either. It refers to the Holy Spirit in his sevenfold manifestations or dimensions or as listed the seven different aspects of the Holy Spirit, saying the same thing different way of war.

The Holy Spirit seen in his fullness and completeness of seven different spirits, but certainly there is only one Holy Spirit that seven spirits and when speaks of the seven spirits before the throne. We take it to mean the Holy Spirit. Hey, thank you for the question Kathy and maybe an eternal age will get to find out more right but there's not more to be said.

It's really speculation beyond that is as far as I could tell 866342 let us go to Orlando and High Point, North Carolina. Welcome to the line of fire room. Hey question deals with the calendar yeah you would use calendar Gregorian calendar. It seems to me like all the counter all me if we can phase 20, 21 now, but according to different people think about Peter was born for me so that death all four years)) oh yeah yeah so so and going to get an employment site. We all understand that there was a miscalculation in terms of it was at a certain point in time the Christian world said we are going divide things with before Christ in the year and the year of our Lord. So before Jesus birth, and after Jesus birth right and they think how they calculate right they calculated what they thought that the year of his birth was in May that the zero year right so there is not really 00 from one BC 20 D but they were off by four years right so everything is a calculate now what about you if you had a 5781 right that's that's also a calculation based on a a reading of a little reading of creation, which is also not the way the Bible waited out that we can get the precise year that Adam was created once and you think we are leaving on limits are 2021 simply means 2021 years since Jesus was born that's off probably about five of four years were living probably about 2025 years from when Jesus was born.

As far as from when Avenue Adam was created. I don't know we have to date and ended his anything in it. How little or anything because according to his own dog on a minute to check on Jewish but they said that they all 110 year that silicate 59 know nothing right now know that they would not say that right so there is it in Jewish chronology. The works consider alarm about. They have a compressed period of time off from the destruction of this of the first Temple to the destruction of the second Temple.

They have some of the the time, greatly condensed, so you have what most scholars say is a period of 400 500 years is the thing expands her from one to the other. Literally.

Over 600 years and in Jewish tradition, it comes out to be 400 something so know that but but that's no one is can still calculate the exact time from Adam to now there is debate about that and and how consecutive genealogies are and and things like that abut the traditional Jewish chronology that you read about in the Talmud is is almost certainly wrong. In other words, were they when they cut things in their chronology and you end up with with with 100 6076 at 210 but that some certainly wrong that chronology there that's that's reflected but basically this is years over his usual mean anything Jewish calendar, 57, 81, is not that does me 100% is from Adam to now and 2021. That was just a miscalculation of about 2025 out from when Jesus was born.

Thank you for the question. It's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 6634 through here again is Dr. Michael Brown high Springs for joining us on the line of fire, 866 the four truth we go back to the phones with her friend Eddie from Madison, Connecticut, welcomes the line of fire.

Dr. do a good man. Haven't you like a cage like in the MMA event Craig anyway? All week was it better than Adam. We all die, but in Christ while me alive anybody here pick out. I picked him to do pickup. I love that. So why am I right right all live by them all better now. I don't remember right, so what you've raised would be the possibility that somehow all humanity is saved by what Jesus did, called universalism and actually that's one of the verses that people will use to make that argument. While the entire human race died in Adam, the entire human race will be made alive in Christ.

The problem is I do you know throughout the entire New Testament were called to repent and believe.

Repent and believe, and warned that if we refuse him that that will be judged and Jesus himself talks about those will come out of the graves some tickets to life, and some to judgment and we have your right through the whole New Testament. The final separation.

Some will be with the Lord forever. Some will be will will be judged and and and destroyed or cast into the fire so the whole New Testament tells us that the whole human race will not be made alive in Christ so it's it's not a crazy question. Other scholars have tried to point to that to argue the same thing but the reality is that we were born the entire human race born as descendents of Adam. So we die we get sick we sin right that's that's our lot.

He like fell off the cliff and were all born in the valley so to say, but we have to receive him as many as received him, speaking of Jesus get eternal life. So where is Adam was our choice Christ is where is being born in Adam that was just or ancestry. Now he comes to rescue. Whosoever will, so all those who are in Christ as those who put their trust and faith in him.

Those are the ones that that live so it's not an illogical question.

You shouldn't have to get the MMA rules for this one because scholars have raised but you just have to look at the rent just read the rest of Romans you know where it where it's those who believe in those who don't believe those who are in the Masai. Those are outside of the Messiah, etc. so the rest of the Bible is working against this idea that every body gets in because of what Jesus did so in short we were born in sin because were human beings, then by our own choice. We continue to do wrong things and thereby we follow in Adam's footsteps, but we were born to die. That's the reality we were born in sin and none of us and ourselves can escape our sinful nature through faith, we can now be in Christ and all who are in him will live so tight with just one thing.

If you do with it. The case guilt you have to set the rules first and have a ref because of the was a good messy artist have moved from there.

I thank you for the call. As always, let's go to Chris in Clayton, North Carolina.

Welcome to the line of fire. Thank you Dr. Brown your your one of my heroes do not appreciate your dedication. What you do. It means a lot to me. My my question dovetailed perfectly with your last collar. There within my Christian circle there. You know through my profession of faith accepted you to Christ, my Lord and Savior. I believe I believe I'm saving to receive salvation. There seems to be a very lack perception of then repent Martin to turn our way and not really sure how to answer that they think think alarms they by great you know what if the effort of you turning toward the things Christ is asking us to do.

Is there any bearing. Not sure you know, other than to go well that that's what he told us to do so here, so here's your silly but silly.

Bottom line, it sound bite it right say what is Jesus saving us from simple question was, he saved us from eternal damage is that the only thing saving us from what's written in Matthew 121 you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. Matthew 121 he saves us from sin.

So salvation is salvation from sin and that's why the first word of the gospel is repent. So what you do is just get a concordance and you'll see if you go to Matthew three Matthew four you go to Mark one. You go to Luke 513, Luke 24 go to ask to ask three acts five acts 11 acts 17 acts 20 acts 26 this verse is off the top of my head, all of which repentance first and say you believe Paul will yet what would Paul say in in acts 16 believe in the Lord Jesus, and will be saved. What is he saying acts 17 God commands all men everywhere to repent was policy preached in acts 2021 he says that he preached that people should repent towards God and put their faith in Jesus.

What he preached in acts 2620 what does he tell Agrippa. He said I preached that people should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds was previously in acts 238 repent and be baptized is even mentioned. Believe what is he saying acts 319 repent and turn to God that your sins may be blotted out with us in acts 531 that God gave repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel through Jesus. So after since two sides of the same coin, you can truly believe that repent, you can truly repent without leaving. If you just say Jesus save me from hell Soso asked someone so say okay so is this just tell you if this works. If this is salvation in God's sight. There's a man living in adultery. He is also a serial rapist, he steals from his job and and he's pick five of the sentence. Whatever right, and he says Jesus I want to go to hell. So free.

I believe he died for my sins, rose from the dead, forgiveness, all go to hell and blessed me as I go on my life as a serial rapist living in adultery Bubba Bubba Bubba blah that's a salvation in no one in their right mind can think that salvation.

Matthew 721 that everyone assist me Lord Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the student will my father, John 129 behold the Lamb of God takes away the sin of the world, St. Peter 39. God is not slack in his promise, as some count slackness, but is long-suffering towards us not want any to perish but all to come to repentance, so just do a little search you know whatever software you have for the word repent with*after that I get older you know repent. Repentance and you'll see it's the constant first name. It's what Jesus preaches when he starts his ministry takes the words of John the immersive repent for the kingdom of heaven is near. So it's not a matter of becoming holier or becoming better. It's it's it's a matter of God save me from my sins. That's repentance. God I hate my sin.

I recognize that I want to live for you. Forgive me. Watch me cleanse me. But what Jesus did save me from my sins. If it's not a salvation from sin. It's not real salvation. It's forgiveness of sin and its being saved from sin so that we now live for God will befall short were continually cleansed and washed in the blood of Jesus. But that's that's restart just what she saving us from not just from hell. But from our sins and were saying God save me from my said the lack of the repentance message is one of the great great plagues in the modern Western church. Truth be told he. Thank you for the call. Thanks for the kind words appreciated all let's go to the mall. I not there. Once you try to get to one more call before we were done, but tell you what. Let me just speak you for a moment. Frank Bartel men greatly used in the Azusa Street revival to journalists that help publicize what God was doing through that outpouring. He said the depth of any revival will be determined by the spirit of repentance that is obtained so the question is how how deeply you want God to work in your own life. How serious are you about following the Lord. I could go into a church and just reteaching you know just nice teaching on a nice subject. Everyone's blessed and while that was really terrific and I really edified.

Encourage and help button sometimes that may be what God wants me to do, but I know if God really wants to move in a place that the message of repentance is going to come up sooner versus than later. Why because repentance makes room repentance prepares the way for the coming of the Lord.

It it it levels out the rough places it it straightens out the crooked places in it is God's way of making room where we turn away from sin and turn away from uncleanness and in turn away from the ugliness of our lives and say God I want you I recognize my sin. I recognize my floor recognize my guilt work in my life, work afresh to something new. I know when I preach that that want to go back to my room afterwards or fly home afterwards that that message is gonna be reverberating in me as well. Where's repentance need to take place in my life so I can draw nearer to the Lord. Repent is a turnabout return away from sin. We turn towards God in the Old Testament the way was articulated gobble turn away from his wrath and turn towards us so we say man repentance God relents and grant us a deeper spirit of the fence.
