We know that God can bring good out of evil and use a bad situation to produce something wonderful. What could God do for the church in the Biden presidency stage for the line of fire, your host activist and author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH index 866-34-TRUTH your again is Dr. Michael Brown. It is January 8. It is Martin Luther King Day it is three days before inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. It's a time when a whole lot continues to shake in America and around the world.

Central to start the week off together with you this is Michael Brown seeking to serve as your voice of moral sanity and spiritual clarity in the midst of a society in chaos in the church all too often in compromise is an article 866-34-TRUTH 866-34-TRUTH eight 784. I'm not taking random Bible theology questions but anything that has to do with the current situation in America be political, spiritual will be talking about those things today before we get into this before we talk about incoming president Joe Biden, and as much as I have grave concerns about the agenda on the left and and things that present like Biden said that he wants to do in the background of a vice president like, Harris is much as I have grave concerns about those things and believe that that the attempt to censor conservatives, especially believing conservatives and days ahead that these are very real threats at the same time. Our God is a Redeemer and with the world or Satan or circumstances mean for evil God can turn for good to talk about that today how God could use a Biden presidency for the good of the church, not in vote for Job on the vote for Donald Trump but on the explain that and hopefully give you some encouragement and hope in the midst of things and and others have very different views politically understandable.

I welcome all of you to it to listen to watch, call 866-34-TRUTH at the same time we must address the increasingly wild conspiracy theories that are out there. They're getting millions and millions of views and and that that Christians professing Christians are embracing it. It's actually embarrassing to see so many people believing such ridiculous lies in being so passionate about and then some are combining it with their faith. It's kind of a toxic mix when you when you try to mix lies, together with truth and NNN prophecies that are coming to pass and things. It's it's it's gonna be a path of spiritual destruction. For many, we want to do our best to be here ready to help those that are struggling but first, because this Martin Luther King Day I will play a clip for you. That to me is the most powerful single clip in any of the speeches of Dr. King that of hurt me understand he was a flawed man. We understand that there are various things that are coming to light all the more about his sexual morality.

We understand that a trust that that he died forgiven in right relationship with God that does not detract from the courage he had that does not detract from his public witness that does not detract from the important role that he played in American history and little over 20 years ago when God started stirring my heart about the revolution seen the revolutionary message of the gospel and have operated in the world change we completely different than worldly revolutions which were violent and destructive. So II studied a lot of different movements from radical Islam to communism and tested negative things is that of the counterculture revolution in the 60s but then also dug deeper in civil rights that and in and look to see the example of Dr. King versus say that the the Black Panthers doing newtons and some of the differences there Malcolm X at the beginning and an end was stirred by a lot. The example of of many courageous African-American leaders that they took a nonviolent approach that were people of courage so that ministered a lot to me.

And for whatever reason is it is a Jewish follower of Jesus.

I've of always related in a discount felt a kinship with my black Christian friends may be a history Jewish history be more ancient in terms of of being a nation that was enslaved and an American of black history be more recent but suffering through the ages suffering in one case because of race. In the case because of religion. Somehow just felt the solidarity sought.

I was personally really stirred reading this and as as I was working on the revolution book I was working on one chapter about freedom and I was digging in just all these Martin Luther King quotes it was getting available online in downloading and putting them into into this chapter. It was little over 20 years ago and at the end of the day.

I was get ready to preach was in Houston and ready to preach that night and I looked at the calendar I was all because I don't holidays I might my online conference with Mark was the kink.

I spent much of the day reading his quotes so this clip to me is an articulation of the words of Jesus that you save your life, you lose it. If you lose your life for my sake and the gospel. Jesus said, find it was it was a some Alabama March 8, 1965 in the context is that because the nonviolent protesters were meeting with violent resistance. They're getting physically attacked the police dogs were being set loose on them. The ring sprayed with fire hoses people are losing jobs that some of the leader said maybe we just need to step back a little because whipping nonviolent that were being violently attacked and and this is Dr. King speaking to the church building packed out some Alabama again. March 1965 and it's about three Miniclip I want to play the entire clip for you mate midst or your heart as well and I happen on each distilling friends that is so incredibly stupid.

What a message with those that they don't understand the depth of the civil rights movement don't understand the depth of of African-American suffering in our country. When you hear those words when you view the determination when you are the commitment. The matter what we determined to be free. It's eye-opening friends for me as it is a white American grew up in the suburbs of Long Island but in started New York City racially diverse atmosphere and that is that that was from my household and then just give never exposed to certain things, certain parts the country mindsets that I was never been racially profiled myself. You look, the more you understand the history of the UN part of the more you learn, the more you grieve, and we desire to see God's best for everyone. So when when Dr. King said a man dies when he refuses to Santa for that which is right friends that that's been with me for it for over 20 years since inside I heard that quote a friend of mine saw the message being played on on TV the midst of a series you can check this out God.

It was stirred by the cassette over 20 years ago and that's that's remained with me over and again that you don't compromise you don't capitulate auto. I don't mean in the midst of a stubborn argument with a spouse. Of course we humble ourselves with a colleague. We are trying to have understanding. No want on that when you sent was right. You don't capitulate, but you don't cave you don't bow down, because when you do die when you do lose part of yourself. When you die, you become a slave to become a slave to the to the opinions of people become a slave to the popular, you become a slave to what's expedient as opposed to what's right with that you lose a part of your soul man dies refuses to Santa for that which is right refuses to an extent for that which is true for justice.

So, you realize that when you come to that point you 70 was right. Regrowth of cost or consequence on undergraduates right regardless of popular opinion. I do it's right regardless of life and limb when you do that you get free enough free because you're not living in the spirit of fear much about the obnoxious, self-righteous, always, always, that the one in the know you always get low, you always humbled yourself before the Lord your say virtually blind spots and show me what I'm missing in and help me to grow and be more like your son.

I will be contentious and and and the ones that's the know it all or near the corrector in chief is often said that's not my goal to be the corrector in chief of the body of the world. Whatever what what hubris to think that any of us think that's us, but when you know what you know when you know it's right.

You have to stand have to stand you don't cave and if if you lose everything lose everything because he found everything your free and and if you do cave you lost everything. Okay, so fine you. You have your your popular opinion.

Still, you have your followers you have your job. You have your pensioner you have your security or you have your physical life, but you lost your soul in the process through Jesus says right in order to follow him, he must deny ourselves, take the cross and follow whoever saves his life will lose it, loses his life for his sake and the gospel find it. That moment your free. I have friends I mean not quite with the gun put to their head but with heavy death threats, just that I came to die and what could they do to them. I mean for the gospel.

I came to die that moment there free reps will be free. So with the truth that righteousness will reign in your heart.

The call for freedom serene in your heart to honor God, that no matter what comes your way on him and praise him live for him. You're free. You have lost everything and that you have found everything and nobody can take it from you. Okay, we come back or share why I say that God could use by the presence of the church and only show you some of the responses I got there to say. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown, call 8667 84 if you aren't listening, watching, and are unable to call in. Maybe you listen to podcast. A few days later you catching this on the TV network. After the show was aired a long way in. You want to share your thoughts to be peace, your mind, here's an article. This is not to leave questions will be responding to questions here, but if you want to be peace, your mind, agree, disagree, testimony share will yell at me.

That's fine just keep it to two minutes, three minutes max are some of the costs of this market.

You on the air, but we may play when your clips on the year 1-800-618-8481 806 one 884 eight I before I go to any calls today or play some wild as in Wilde clips for you little while. I want take you to an article I wrote this when I was away in a prayer retreat. The beginning of December and because I was away for the entire week in the prerecorded radio and everything else and I was they had no daily responsibility for road.

I wrote if I didn't I didn't I couldn't I could be up all night and sleep half the day I could be up early in the morning. I could whatever, but my schedule is pretty much very, very late at night sleeping in the morning if I got up a little earlier. Go to sleep for a nap in the afternoon but the last thing I was doing was getting up at like six in the morning after going to sleep. It for the morning, but one morning I got up with a jolt. I was disturbed and I wrote this article that I went back to sleep in a silicon not releasing's early December was 100% sure there's no question in my mind whatsoever that the Joe Biden would be the next president and for many reasons, both inside knowing a mild heart and outside evidence, but I thought it's is premature to release this not yet but a few days ago I felt it was time to release this so we posted this article and the title of the article is why a Biden presidency could be good for the church and because of a syndicated columnist, meaning that my articles appear in many different websites and less. It's an exclusive like a right one exclusive article week for the stream. Otherwise, there are many different sites of town hall writing for them longer than anybody conservative political website and I was curious to see how would people respond to this article because it is a conservative political website is published. Some spiritual reflections as well, but it's primarily conservative politics and a little read comments to to my articles again. There are many different sites and then link donor or social media that I was curious to see the response to this one thinking it might might be a little hostile. Alright so anyway I will go through some key points in the article. I start off by saying, like many reading this article I voted for Donald Trump which means I voted against Joe Biden of also written articles calling out the radical nature of the Democratic platform, drawing attention to binds extreme transgender rights position and pointing to his continued shift to the left on abortion and I've warned of the potential dangers of art, Harris presidency sought to understand all the issues which is reasonable for Trump. Despite misgivings about other aspects of who he is, voted for okay so I understand all the issues you have to warn me about the method talk to me about where the left could be going the Democratic tended to be gone. I'm quite aware written about documented as well. Quite aware so I said, like many of you am deeply concerned about the direction America could be heading under Biden Harris administration can potentially destructive dealings with China and Iran the same time I believe the election of Job.

I might be in the best interest of the church of America. How can I say such a thing. Simply stated this because many of us Christian service put too much trust in a man if you didn't find a said many of us that all of us looking for man to preserve our religious freedoms looking for mantle return Roe V Wade through the courts looking for man to fight our battles to be her champion with a command to push back against the evil agendas of the radical left looking to a man to bring peace to the Middle East. Such an attitude is never healthy especially when that man is Donald Trump, a man could be as abrasive and destructive as he could be winsome and united, it would seem the truck might be losing election we turn to God in fervent prayer and fasting. It was not so much revival in the church and mercy on America as much as it was for Trump's victories. If only Trump victory stood between America's freedom and America's collapse is article Jesus taught us to pray that the Lord's name would be hollow that his kingdom would Commons will be done rather to pray for the election of particular individual with his or the success of a particular part, to be sure, many were praying for just a sprain. The steel your prayers for the election of Donald Trump are far more passionate than our prayers for the critical issues such as stock and the pandemic or prayers to see her neighbors come to Jesus or prayers for the safety of our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world. How could this be right. As things stand. I truly believe that four more years of Donald Trump would've led to greater spiritual complacency and even triumphalism. Not to mention the vulgarizer of our own souls four more years of comfort which I too voted would lead to even greater trust in him and only deepening our dangerous trend former user Trump would've destroyed our witness even more severe.

These evangelical Christian. In particular, white evangelical Christians would've been better known for association with Trenton association with Jesus. Is this much damage has been done. We have much ground to recover former user Trump would've kept her focus on the government as if the White House or Congress or the Supreme Court could slow the national average rings or stop her down with moral and spiritual slot but you say a Biden Harris presidency means more baby slaughter. That alone tells me wrong, truly God, the somewhat more innocent blood being shed response certainly assure your pro-life passion. I fully understand the implications of a Biden Harris administration comes to the unborn absolute hundred percent. Let's face the facts.

Babies were slow to their horrific rates to the Republican presidencies of Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, George W. Bush and Donald Trump. That's a total of 24 years and more than 22 million babies, which is far more babies than reported. During the 16 years of the Democratic presidencies of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama at the same time progress is being made every year and reducing the number of abortions to other legislative and grassroots efforts. All we continue to press for the overturning of Roe V Wade, but you say Democratic victory now could mean the packing of the courts and the end of free and fair elections.

As we know it will never recover from this. You could be right respond which case the situation is dire.

On the other hand, now is the time to stand up boldly and exercise her faith. Why must we be so fatalistic.

The possibilities are indeed gray but they're certainly not written in stone. Personally, I do not believe most Americans will support the increasingly radical leftist agenda. In fact, you could be the best thing that could happen for countries for the radical left shows real hand and Fritz Frank Simpson to be exposed. The more that BLM and NT for Terrace or streets. The less popular will be more people see were agreeing to delete especially in their paychecks and freedoms the list, though like it voted Democrat seek to remake America.

The more Americans will not want Democrats in power. The more people realize the big tech is try to rule their lives in the mainstream media is lying to them with their lives in the mainstream media, slides, and the more the resent this hostile takeover is for the church, the more we realize that we cannot look at the White House to the White House and Congress dripping them will get back to gospel basics and it is those basics alone.

It can save the nation quote the words of the Psalms. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes Psalm 118 nine and do not put your trust in princes and human beings cannot save someone 46 three today would substitute the word presidents, princes, of course, these verses do not mean that we become passive and complacent when it comes to the political system.

They do not mean that we have a Kumbaya mentality when it comes to laws and policies. They do mean that we must not put our full trust in earthly leaders or earthly powers in the doing that our trust in God will be rewarded.

The truth is that quite often life the worst things turn out to be the best things the same goes if it doesn't kill you makes you stronger. A Biden Harris presidency will not come close to killing us in Jesus. Through the gates of Hades will not prevail over the church meeting the powers of death itself instead and adversarial presence of the White House can be the best thing that happened to the church of American years. Maybe this is what will take to wake us up and we can church remains the hope of the nation set forth along the force of the gospel, lived out the contained carts then people with changed parts to reshape the government and the courts then left. Change can last quite so that's the article that's what I laid out. That's what I deeply believe so. I want to check that the comments again and really don't do this in an article is written work or videos posted for many reasons, but I decided to do it specifically on this website because it's one of the most conservative political websites of all those were my articles were posted, so let's see, she she said Mr. Brown usually agreement with you, but in this case, no way for years under Biden will be lucky if were still out of a Bible in our homes and in then she says is Trump's post and between freedom and communism in America. While I appreciate the fact that she she normally agrees with what I write and I welcome disagreement absolutely way people take the time to read and thinking, but the idea that that four years will be looking for.

Still out of a Bible in a home know that this is not reality that is an extreme exaggerated picture of where things are at and where things are going so we need to be sober minded wheat we don't want to exaggerate the issues that we face.

And yes, I understand a bit on the front lines of fighting the issues of censorship and people try to stifle our voices for many years now.

Back in 2004 began to see those who came out of the closet when put us in the closet was ridiculed wildly for saying it. Then a few years after that a change to bigots like you belong in the closet. Some I'm more than aware and we've documented people have lost jobs, lost income loss positions kicked at the schools because of their conservative biblical views and and even challenged Amazon you gonna ban the Bible because your bankbook saying that the case can change or California to ban the Bible because you're banning counseling for for in trying to ban it for everyone of all ages for some of them wanted same-sex attraction what the pastor says hey read the Bible.

This will help you with that can be banned from raising these points to draw attention, but the reality is that there's always a drawing back from that.

Those were exposing the craziness of it, but there's tremendous pushback against that need then will have Bibles is is such an exaggerated position that it puts us almost in an hysterical mindset and Donald Trump is not the only thing stopping America from communism so comfortable.

A good and not a bad in and it will be for legacy over period of years to come way out specific church is for the festival worse.

But no, it's not Donald Trump is only one holding us back from communism in America stop China. That's part of the idolatry of comp that I warning them to hand an unhealthy way to make a sense of regret and it's the light a fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown but I first just wanted look at analyze some responses to my article that is much as I did not vote for Joe Biden as much as I have concerns about the Democratic platform is much as I have concerns about where this will go intrinsic freedom of religion is much as I have concerns about where this will go with radical LGBT activism is much as I've concerns with implications for Israel is much as I've concerns about wrong deals being made with China and Iran is much as I've concerns about a flood of illegal immigrants coming into America as much as I've concerns about the potential restructuring of our whole voting system repacking the Supreme Court, all of which are things which could happen with the agenda of the radical left, which is increasing become a did they read the end of the Democratic Party at the same time Senate goddess God. I understand that often in the worst times the church grows the most in the great hope for America's a healthy church because change is not the come from the top down and I have no question whatsoever that many American conservatives and Christians looking to Trump as the man that could stop the onslaught of communism or socialism save American free world and that's the whole thing. I talked about looking commando idolatrous Weiss was wild as well. I'll talk about that people respond and say we don't look to Trump and idolatrous right, but he's the only one I could save American Republican Party is completely correct and we can trust anybody except him.

Let's looking him in idolatrous white simple thing, don't talk against God's anointed.

That's looking to him and idolatrous white so I'm I'll continue to deal with illicit I'm not doing this to get popular as to honor God help you.

So one gentleman they mark posted this response on town hall and he said I'm Jerry Collins, Mr. Brown. She can appreciate someone taking the time to read and and and agree were different. He said this, he said, I'm Jerry because Mr. Brown but this one is a train wreck need to go back to your Prairie Creek is a set I'd written this during the time in here from Jehovah God really sniped on the trunk as a cult leader. Most of us foes including Christians are called to sell. Actually, I didn't use those words that I use those words in the article. I did layout the degree we look to him wrongly. Okay and I said if the shoe doesn't fit the where, but I know many are guilty of and I know for fact because of the responses I can type the second I and and you hijack Scripture to prove text.

No not hijacking Scripture on rightly using it on rightly using it to make application absolutely let me enlighten you. Most of us trump supporters with both Pee-wee Herman if he supported the same policies and platform DK Tito's. If you have the courage backbone stamina to stand up and fight the deranged Democrats globalist Satanists and an MSM like he has, but it's not about the man Louise my respect for your stance was accomplishment about his agenda and his love for this country in US want, I voted for him. Those reasons I'm a Trump voter come support for those reasons.

At the same time, those who say he's the only one that has those characteristics encourage the backbone sector. Pee-wee Herman doesn't.

And those that say it's gotta be Trump looking to him and in a destructive way are looking to him in a cultlike way. He's the only man that could do it. He's the political Messiah is the political deliver what we need. When you do that it is unrealistic and then you don't see the tremendous destruction that he brought the tremendous harm that he brought in. In the end it could be. He did more harm than good, especially for the church of said as a Trump supporter that he did more to help evangelical causes than any president memory and he did more to hurt the evangelical cause in any president, memory question is long-term, which is better. Which is worse. This is this we recognize and accept his flaws and shortcomings as a man, I will agree with the restatement position is me. We cannot put them on a pedestal to worship him. So many Pokémon pencil don't worship and become on a pedestal. He has not usurped the place of Jesus in our lives will, of course, which I say repeatedly understand everybody and everybody says that so against the misreading of I am saying which to me indicates him hitting a nerve noticing when people over respond so that he can say your office hitting a nerve.

This is utter complete nonsense.

We support and love them because we elected nothing but cowards and traitors for decades. All he stands out along the very thing I'm saying in the article that that this this dear gentlemen, this is rejecting and mocking okay so so he says us, we would elected nothing but cowards and traitors for decades, Dems and Republicans and he finally gets us and fights for us if you think any correctly.

We could Satanists narcissistic pedophile New World order. Grandpa bad finger by this POTUS.

Somehow the will of God is beneficial for the church or delusional idiot and give Christianity a bad name, sir.

Always respectful because Mr. Brown insert receipt. That means you been drinking in the poison of cueing on okay you been drinking and outright deception.

The poison of cueing on you have rejected all other leaders except for Donald Trump but say that you love putting him on a pedestal.

Think of that and are saying that that Joe Biden is Pres. and its it's not the will of God. So the will of God was not done, but even more, saying that the God who worked under Nero, as Christians were being burned just living torches to light up the night the God who moved under mount say tongue and and and Christianity in China flourished and grew in ways it never had before the God who is moving in the midst of persecution in Nigeria and persecution in Iran and persecution in India, some of which I'm an eyewitness to that God can't move for the good of the church in the nation under Joe. But what what kind of nonsense is that. And yet, for saying that I'm delusional, idiot. Is Christianity bad name. I hope this people have time to reflect. As the dust settles and the Biden presidency.

II hope is people of time to reflect that the go back and realize how the words were speaking or applicable. Okay, one last thing.

There's more I can interact with. But that one must thing you go to your calls.

Okay Nancy pulling out a post to me last night. She said, have you seen this video done so my personal Facebook page and there was a woman that was reacting it in a series of comments, rose and blasted for the same article and and she was saying. Hold onto your horse because everything's going to change remotely to public postal but no it's Trump's about to be inaugurated. Everything's about the change you better be ready to apologize and there is a link to a video, but when we get tens of thousands of things at this whole time.

We don't have time to to look examined, but the Nancy applicant and and the reason you play it for you. This is because this this woman just first and Michelle the videos been viewed over 1/2 million times over happening times like three or four days now know who issue it just if you're watching let's just put this up here is one video. So click to watch it. Nancy, as Mrs. only three minutes. This is a woman if you're watching she is dancing slowly, wearing white gloves to Pink Floyd was when you click on her link on YouTube to file its active to find out who she is. This is the leading video that comes up dancing to Pink Floyd when white gloves. When I came in today. My team said hate Dr. Brown did you see the one where she's going to interpret the illuminati if your lot if you're what may the Lord help this woman if you're watching you are skipping and sites and see is interpreting the illuminati by dancing okay this is the link that a Christian woman apparently Chrisman puts on my personal Facebook put page telling me concentrate. Everything okay let's listen you will hear nonsense. This videos been given hundreds and hundreds of thousands of times with the overwhelming thumbs-up compared to thumbs down for the most ridiculous gibberish you've ever heard us by the first clip, a peaceful transition is coming. Trump will not be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States on January 20, Trump will take office as the 19th president of the United States on March 4 under the restored Republic. Let me explain. You believe you live in a nation called United States of America. This nation hasn't existed since 1871 when this country ceased to be a nation and became a corporation belonging to the city of London. Every time you see an American flag with the gold fringe and gold tilt attached to it. It represents the corporation not to come the country. This is the reason you can never make progress financially. This is why the law always seems to be against the average citizen. While the rich and the elite literally get away with murder and worst things if Biden, Harris, Pentz, Pelosi, etc. are rested before their crimes before January 20. There will be no one twisting the presidency since Trump has not been certified as the presidential rent winter by Congress. He cannot remain president if there is no president on January 20, the corporation known as the United States and America will be dissolved okay okay you got friends to absolute gibberish nonsense hundreds of thousands of people watching Christians with bleeding you want one more one more clip than military will then become the guardians of the nation during the transition. People would then have irrefutable proof that the election was stolen by foreign entities and that Trump was chosen by a landslide.

Trump then assumes the presidency as the 19th president of the United States.

The last president elected before America became a corporation was Ulysses S Grant Republic restart now I'm really don't know all the details involved in this.

Just know the end goal has always been the destruction of the 1871 corporation and the return of America to the people on the constitutional republic has always content was always intended to be the next month and 1/2 will be chaotic. Make sure you have plenty of water, food, meds, anything else you need comply with the National Guard and United States Marine Corps. They took oath to the nation, not the corporation. The act of 1871, be vigilant, pray nation has returned to our May the Lord help this woman listen friends there is more truth to learn on the dancing illuminati video than this one princess is sick. This is craziness that there is a a disease of deception spreading among millions and millions of people, including the church, this, this is delusional friends, delusional and and it is it is heartbreaking to see God's people believing other nonsense like this pray for president Compass's office in his life going into himself using effectively days ahead. Pray Joe Biden, Harris as they come in. Hate knows God can do an answer to our prayer because we come back. It's the light a 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 86643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown and look friends on on the here mock.

How would you feel if someone you loved became delusional as someone close to you, friend, colleague in the they literally could not separate fantasy from reality. Break your heart equipment so things but that are being said should be rejected and some of them utterly ridicule without ridicule.

Friends of ours who have fallen into deception with this figure how to get them out of deception is not deception.

If you say Lord I believe the election was stolen and praying for righteousness, not deception is not deception.

For a time he really felt that that Donald Trump would be reelected in the country like is not deception when you fall into delusion.

When you believe craziness when when you consume with all these other things and and now must the Bible become secondary to their becomes part of a bigger conspiratorial plot or you you can go on past the 20th well all Trump will still be almost something so that happen or so again I want to say unless UNICEF told you so that you ridicule. We will be here gobbling on Inauguration Day talking to you within a be doing a live stream 9 o'clock inauguration evening on Facebook and asked her to run Facebook, will will announce that again okay let us go to the phones and will start in Fairbanks Alaska. Dan, thanks so much for holding welcome to the line of fire Baker Dr. Brown of all I want to quickly avoid. I felt that way.

Much of what you're thinking. You really are pathetically Arctic church. I appreciate that I have heard many others I know Lori develop a similar route that I appreciated it but what you think today about I think her mother through that effective earthy to the church, not a good eye anymore. 12 many times over the last month and half.

Pretty remarkable parallels going yet one wanting a king you know it, Dan. It's it's something I've wrestled with a lot and will continue to wrestle with in and hope to write more about it and teach more about it, but we all agree that it's good to have freedom right we all agree that it's good that we can read our Bibles in our homes without being arrested. That you know our kids become believers, they can be baptized without us having the kids taken from us it.

It's good that there are widows all over Canada or America weeping right now because their husbands were taken for them and killed for the gospel will agree that that liberty and freedom to good things, and in that in in first Timothy two were told to pray for those in authority.

King's rulers that they would be saved and that we could live peaceful quiet lives in all godliness and honesty so we know it's a good thing but then on the flip side, we become complacent and then when we get more political power. We tend to put our trust in in the party. The person or our place and it's almost as if when I get to take over and the church is eyeing the grocer that all you do is get people more rebellious, more more angry making Jesus look look worse in their in their eyes. In the short-term gains to be outdone by the long-term losses but on the other hand, you want to elect a godly person you were a righteous person, assuming stands for your values and you see what would Prime Minister to Joe's doing in many ways and their hurting Christian liberties and put potentially hurting the nation and and in other ways. In larger ways so you like to replace him with someone with more conservative values or someone you're more likely to your previous per Mr. Harper and and yet it's it's that challenge and we look to the king here in in Numbers 21. The children of Israel send their get bitten by snakes there dying. So God tells Moses take a bronze snake stick it on a pole when they look to it will be healed right.

She read that account will then we get the second Kings 18 you read that they had kept the bronze snake and they called it Nicholas Tom and they were worshiping it as a golf so great that the very object of deliverance that God sends ends up being the thing that we worship as a God and the more I reflect on it. Obviously, we want people that represent our values in office from from the local school board right if the president, but as I reflect on it more. What if Trump had been more for Reagan type personality right and more. I could write more the one they could be just more gentle and telling regular strong euro. Mr. Gorbachev Chertoff, a small unforgettable courage.

Right. The evil axis LXX. He attacked these things, but what if the demeanor could be different there could be reaching out to say hey on the president of of every American. And these are the values I was voting for these values I hold to. But in a way that that savaging others, trashing others, attacking others, demeaning others, so that Christianity doesn't get a bad name in the process of but it's you know it's challenging and and I do really hope that instead of us just putting all of our energy on elections in 2022 and 2024. That will put our energy on on being the church" was to be my right hand and so will the church scraper to get hurt. But running the government that were my heart. I think that God earned Christ.

The church yeah I do. I do have a question I didn't hear all week but you think there will be accountability within that a charismatic leader of the church and how effective you think that Emily don't take the there could be a lying spirit that is not part of the church for young danger. I so questionable want yes I do believe there will be much accountability because many people do have good hearts and love the Lord and that's what we'll see you soon in other areas.

It's can be chaos, confusion, profits right in somebody else's fault. No delusional stuff. Trump is the president functioning right now so there's can be a real sifting. I believe that the cause and purge redo the whole prophetic movement interesting. I was talking to her prophetically last night texting this leader said that they laid a network of about 50 well-known prophetic leaders and hardly any of them had toward the trump would be reelected so that they never parse that word because it was not representative of the whole.

So that's interesting in a cell that they all Senate and that Are the anti-felt that way. The other thing that a lying spirit yeah it's it, God will give us over toward solutions if we reject truth presented to us long enough we could be subject to a lying spirit you could happen it's it's a pattern in Scripture. If we reject truth long enough, then we cross into a danger zone of deeper deception is like anything else you know sin when you keep giving yourself to it. You become a slave to my God help us. May God bring awakening in and thank you for the gracious words all right. Let's go to a Deborah in West Bloomfield, Michigan.

Thanks for calling the line of fire doing well thank you about freedom of religion. I know now what going on in your administration that there a lot of you are very efficient because of the freedom of religion blatantly, very, very few people cannot understand at you like and I like to know number one how that can thereby help out and give up that right. In a world where we have a broken and about how we can have the end of the month. The freedom to preach the gospel they know it at every level and situate them, or I'm just jumping in the trust but because I got maybe a minute and 1/2 before the shows out try to answer. I do believe that that freedom in general is a great theme in America that most Americans do affirm freedom of religion, but sometimes the right is perceived as wanted to take over and take away other freedoms in the left reacts violently verbally against that the right and in molding should have the right to believe this or that.

So what we went to number one is recognize that the word of God cannot be bound, and that whatever happens, however, try to silence us. Stop us.

We finally preach the gospel and get the message. I do not believe there is any immediate possibility of the situation happening here is happen say the so-called Golden age of Islam where whole segments of Christianity just wiped out the people to skilled or forcibly converted to Islam or or exiled.

I don't see that happening here in America for many reasons, but I do see a real attack and pushback. I believe that that is only to strengthen us and strengthen our resolve to give ourselves to preach the gospel day and night and find more outlets and with statement for evil working through human beings culture for good. The healthy response is to to let America know you try to take away our liberties soon enough.

Skin turnaround your liberties can be gone. Religion is good for everybody. And then again .1 God cannot now platform the word of God cannot be found
