00:01:38 Barbara
This is my Bible. It has given me new life. It is the word of God. Praise the Lord. I hope you had a great July 4th weekend. Wow. It was long. It almost seemed like I’ve been on a vacation for a while and I had jet lag.
00:01:54 Barbara
I hope you.
00:01:55 Barbara
Didn’t feel that way because you sometimes the days go by and you think, wow, that was four days for me. For me, Barbara Carmack and I know for some of you you were traveling, so maybe it was even longer. And I know the roadways. Oh, and the Airways.
00:02:13 Barbara
My goodness, so many millions of people traveling. I am so glad that I did the most of my traveling several years ago when it wasn’t the crowds that it is now. Well, from Psalm 147, verse 11, the Lord Delights in those who fear him who put.
00:02:32 Barbara
Their hope in his unfailing love, that’s where we get our hope, folks, not in how a country is, how we view that country, how it’s working out, it’s political agendas. No, we don’t have hope in this world because one of these days the world is going to burn up. That’s right. And we’re going to be gone and God is going to restore.
00:02:53 Barbara
And replenish and it’s going to be like a Garden of Eden, I’m just looking forward to that with all of you someday seeing those of you that have been mailing your donations to call to freedom for over 20 years. My goodness, the faithfulness and the generosity.
00:03:10 Barbara
I am in awe. I’m in awe and I give God all the glory. All will glory, no glory, no glory, no credit. Nope. All the glory to you. Lord God, you are blessed to dispense for in him you live and move and have your being. And we do have a meeting this Saturday. On July the 13th. It’s going to be a Scorchers.
00:03:31 Barbara
You can wear those summer clothes. We will be singing songs of freedom because it was for freedom that Jesus set us free and favor is also a wonderful attribute of what God has promised for his children. And we’re going to stay.
00:03:44 Barbara
About favor in your life favor in my life. Oh, wonderful, wonderful things happening. And you have the favor of the Lord upon you. I hope you know that we will have lunch on the patio and we will be building our own hoagie sandwiches. And I’ll have several different kinds of breads along with the lettuce and tomatoes and all the meats and the cheeses.
00:04:05 Barbara
That you need to put it together, we’re going to have a great time because I enjoy.
00:04:08 Barbara
Making sandwiches. I.
00:04:10 Barbara
Do always have. I remember when we go over to the neighbors right after school, we got off the bus.
00:04:17 Barbara
And all they had was mayonnaise, and we’d make mayonnaise sandwiches. And Darrin was talking about making butter sandwiches and then putting sugar.
00:04:25 Music
On it. Oh my goodness.
00:04:27 Barbara
What kids do, it’s just amazing. But I like those hoagie sandwiches. If you would like to bring a side when you come and your last name.
00:04:37 Barbara
Begins with a through M bring a salad.
00:04:39 Barbara
Oh, I enjoyed. There was a sweet kale salad the other at the meeting. This last time I fell in love with that sweet kale. It’s from Taylor’s Taylor and they have wonderful dried cranberries. I fell in. In fact, I went to the grocery store and got more. It was just wonderful. Thank you so much. Loopy for bringing that.
00:05:00 Barbara
It is a favorite salad of mine now, and those whose last name begins with N through Z bring a dessert and call me at 1-877-917-7256, and we’re going to have just a great time in the Lord, a wonderful fellowship on the patio from the ACL, J, the American Center for Law and Justice.
00:05:20 Barbara
Today, we’re filing a major brief at the Supreme Court. I wonder how many major briefs they may they file at the Supreme Court every year. I would like to know. I would like to know.
00:05:31 Barbara
Count at the Supreme Court that could devastate Planned Parenthood. Here is a fact Planned Parenthood aborts over 1000 innocent babies and takes.
00:05:41 Barbara
1.9.
00:05:42 Barbara
Million of our tax dollars, not every year. It’s every day, every day. Jay Sekulow is doing this.
00:05:51 Barbara
Saying this, over 1000 babies and takes 1.9 million of our tax dollars every single day. It’s responsible for about 40% of all abortions in America.
00:06:03 Barbara
Now a groundbreaking case pending at the US Supreme Court. Oh, I love their their ruling on immunity. Well, last week they were good. All those constitutional lawyers that President Trump appointed are just doing a good job and it could determine whether individual states can defund the abortion.
00:06:22 Barbara
Industry and that’s what President Trump is saying. It’s the individual state.
00:06:27 Barbara
And as the states become more conservative, I’m praying for Colorado to become a red state again, because that’s the meaning of Colorado RedState. So I’m believing for that. And today we’re filing a vital amicus brief at the Supreme Court to defund the defeat Planned Parenthood as we battle the endless taxpayer funded resources of Biden.
00:06:48 Barbara
And Planned Parenthood at the Supreme Court, we need you. Don’t feel sorry for this elderly gentleman folks. He is behind all of this, including our our open border and all the 8 million plus.
00:07:01 Barbara
Illegals that have come across the border, every tax deductible donation you make today will be doubled to defend life at the Supreme Court. $5 becomes 10 and $20 becomes 40 and have your gift doubled and you go to American Center for Law and justice and you can sign defund Planned Parenthood.
00:07:21 Barbara
To the Supreme Court. Thank you so much, Jay Sekulow. And as a side note.
00:07:26 Barbara
Logan, who is a son and working for the organization, has asked for our prayers. We are all vulnerable at a time like this. Godly organizations like ACL J need our prayers just as much as those of you who ask for prayers for your special needs. The author of Hebrews celebrates how Jesus is our great.
00:07:46 Barbara
The priest who enables us to approach the very throne of God and it says in Hebrews 416 let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in.
00:08:00 Barbara
Time of need, yes.
00:08:02 Barbara
I’m so grateful for the Bible for the verses of encouragement. Because of Jesus, we can confidently ask the Father to meet our needs and know that he will answer us. And this is from Logan Sekulow. Let us never take the privilege of prayer for granted. Get your copy today of this quarter’s July through September 2024.

When you got family working. Uh with you it’s just a marvelous thing to to know that God is blessing you and.
00:08:49 Barbara
All your family and children and grandchildren praise the Lord and here’s our memory verse for this week, Colossians 121.
00:09:00 Barbara
And I’m I’m going to include 22 in some of the translations, and although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, we remember we were before Jesus before salvation, before confessing our sins and and looking to God as the one who raised Jesus from the dead as Hebrews.
00:09:19 Barbara
416 we can draw near to the throne of Grace, and that’s after we have accepted Jesus as our Savior before.
00:09:26 Barbara
Then we can.
00:09:28 Barbara
So here it says in Colossians 121 and I want to reiterate right now that Ephesians basically is for the church. It’s describing the church and the blessings in the body of Christ, Colossians topic the the subject of Colossians is Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord and although you were.
00:09:47 Barbara
Formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil.
00:09:52 Barbara
Needs, yet he has now reconciled you in his fleshly body through death in order to present you before him wholly and blameless and beyond reproach beyond anybody telling you know, charging you with anything that is so wonderful, he has forgiven you as far as the east is from the West, and we know.
00:10:12 Barbara
If we go around the world from the east to the West, there is no beginning. There is no end. And here from the living translation Colossians 1.
00:10:20 Barbara
19 through 23. I’m just going to read 19 and 20 for God and all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ. Now, I’m not asking you to memorize this, but take Colossians one and just read through that several times this week for God and all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ.
00:10:40 Barbara
And through him, God reconciled. That means brought together everything to him. It’s we’re going to be talking about Ezekiel 37 and how God brought together all those dead bones lying in that huge.
00:10:52 Barbara
So through him, through Jesus Christ, God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood, christo’s blood on the cross. And we know that as we confess our sins, he’s faithful and just to forgive our sins.
00:11:12 Barbara
And continue to cleanse us. Continue. OK. So you stub your toes so you make a mistake. So you even?
00:11:19 Barbara
Sin, you do something that you knew was wrong. His Grace and his blood continually cleanses you as you come to him in full submission to him. Oh, praise the Lord. This is great verse, and we’re just going to dwell on that this week I’m going to read it over and over in my own devotions. My confession for today.
00:11:39 Barbara
By Rick Renner, I boldly confess that compassion flows through me like a river’s condemnation and judgment have no place in my life.
00:11:49 Barbara
Every once in a while, friends, I catch myself judging, especially when I go out in public and you know you’re in the grocery store or you’re somewhere else and you see some. Oh, my goodness. How can they dress like that? How can they do that? It says, OK, what are we doing? Oh, Lord, I’m judging.
00:12:09 Barbara
So here we go. I’m learning, I’m learning and it’s a. It’s a wonderful process and God is our wonderful leader. Wonderful, wonderful. Jesus is to me, condemnation and judgment have no place in my life, in my thinking or in the way I relate to other.
00:12:25 Barbara
People I am filled with the love of God and I allow that love to teach others who are near to me the depths of my heart. Release the compassion of Jesus Christ to the extent that they desire what I have. People desire what I have and in accepting Jesus our Messiah they will experience ecstatic freedom.
00:12:46 Barbara
I declare this by faith in Jesus.
00:12:48 Barbara
Name.
00:12:49 Barbara
As I spoke to you last week and gave you Ezekiel 36 as an introduction to Israel’s restoration in God, I want you to know that Israel’s transformation, just like your transformation in Jesus Christ, it’s a process. It absolutely is a process, and the verses I want you to dwell on in Chapter 36.
00:13:11 Barbara
Is versus 35. Excuse me, 25 through 27.
00:13:15 Barbara
And this is easy. This is from last week, Ezekiel 36, about Israel’s restoration. Oh, love those chapters 363738, but this is Ezekiel 3625 through 29 and God is saying here. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you and you will be clean.
00:13:36 Barbara
Your filth will be washed away. Have you ever gotten dirty? Oh, my goodness. I remember that. We were in Haiti. It was 1981, long time ago now.
00:13:47 Barbara
But we were in Haiti and we went into the interior for a day and we came back in the back of a dump truck. Yep, in the back of a dump truck. And between the dust and he was flying down this dirt Rd. in the middle of Haiti. And when I got home to this home that they had given to us.
00:14:08 Barbara
For the week.
00:14:09 Barbara
I went to the shower immediately and it was cold water. It was. It was ice cold, but I was so happy to get a little bar of soap and just soap soap that that filth, that dirt from my skin, oh, so wonderful. So this reminds me. I will sprinkle clean water on you and you will be clean.
00:14:29 Barbara
Your filth will be washed away and you will no longer worship.
00:14:33 Barbara
Vitals and I will give you a new heart and I will put a new spirit in you. This is God. This is new covenant. I will take out your Stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I will put my spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be faithful to obey my regulations.
00:14:55 Barbara
And you will be my people and I will be your God. I will cleanse you of your filthy behavior. I will give you good crops of grain, and I will send no more famines on the land. God is saying to you, just give me your willing heart.
00:15:10 Barbara
Give me your tender, responsive heart. I will change it for you. Just be willing and see. We are willing. O Lord, we are willing. Well, this chapter is we’re going into Ezekiel 37 now.
00:15:26 Barbara
This chapter is it. It describes the wing gathering of the Jewish people to their homeland.
00:15:32 Barbara
And boy, it looks hopeless. I’ll tell you after Babylon and after Persia. And after all these countries have come in and defeated Israel and sent them scattering all over the world. Here is Ezekiel, and in a vision, the hand of the Lord was upon me. This is the very first part of Ezekiel 37.
00:15:52 Barbara
And he brought me out by the spirit of the Lord, and sat me down in the middle of the valley. And it was full of bones. Oh, it must have been shocking for him.
00:16:01 Barbara
He caused me to pass among them. Roundabout and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley and Lo, they were very dry. That means that they had been there for a long time and they were parched in the sun, he said to me, son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, oh Lord God, you know.
00:16:20 Barbara
Ezekiel sounded a little exasperated in the oh Lord, you know, I don’t know, you know, Lord and I remember when I first married Darren, he had all these little needlepoints and and pictures with Ezekiel 37, because that was one of his favorite teachings.
00:16:38 Barbara
About about being raised up from the impossible into the very possible and the wonderful things that happen. So if you ever come to my house, you can see this little needlepoint breathing life. It’s wonderful again in verse four of the Ezekiel 37 again, he said to me prophesy over these bones and say to.
00:16:57 Barbara
Them.
00:16:58 Barbara
Old dry bones. Hear the word of the Lord.
00:17:01 Barbara
Thus says the Lord God to these bones. Now when you prophesy over anything when you’re praying for your loved one, who’s lost, and you say, thus sayeth the Lord, you will receive the Lord Jesus as your savior. You will come into a great part of your life, being born again and loving God. So we always have to say.
00:17:22 Barbara
Thus says the Lord God, we don’t want any credit, no credit at all. It’s the Lord God who does his friends. So he said to Ezekiel.
00:17:31 Barbara
Prophesy over these bones saying thus says the Lord God, behold I will cause breath to enter you, that you may come to life to life. I will put sings on you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you that you may come alive and you will know that I am the Lord and this is a process.
00:17:52 Barbara
As I said.
00:17:54 Barbara
So Ezekiel said I prophesied as I was commanded, and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a rattling and the bones came together, bone to bone, and I looked and behold, seeing yours were on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them, but there was no breath.
00:18:10 Barbara
There was no breath then, he said to me, prophesied to the breath prophesy, son of man. That’s Ezekiel and say to the breath thus says the Lord God. Again. See, Ezekiel didn’t want to take any credit. I don’t want to take any credit. Friends thus, says the Lord God come from the four winds, O breath and breathe on these slain that they may come.
00:18:32 Barbara
Life so easy. Gill did a second time, second time as he commanded me, and the breath came into them and they came to life and stood on their feet and exceedingly great army. Then he said to me, son of man, these bones are the whole House of Israel. Behold, they say our bones are dried up and our hope has perished.
00:18:53 Barbara
We are completely cut off, therefore prophesying and say to them thus says the Lord God. Behold, I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves. My people see they were more.
00:19:06 Barbara
Even dead, they were more than dead as a nation, and I will bring you into the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves. My people, you who are once dead. Now you are alive all. And we see that in 1948, in verse 14 of Ezekiel 37.
00:19:26 Barbara
Says I will put my spirit capital MI always put that capital M there. My spirit within you and you will come to life and I will place you on your own land.
00:19:37 Barbara
Oh, praise God, he did that in one day. He did that in one day, folks. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken and done. It declares the Lord the Lord of the Lord came again to me saying and you, son of man, why did he call him son of man? He wanted to know where he was spiritually. He was not God.
00:19:57 Barbara
He was not an important man.
00:20:00 Barbara
He had submitted himself as a slave, as a captive, and God wanted to remind him that even though he was a slave and a captive, God was lifting him up and exalting him. Take for yourself one stick and ride on it for Judah and for the sons of Israel, and then take another stick and ride on it. For Joseph, the Stick of Ephraim.
00:20:20 Barbara
In all, the House of Israel then join them for yourself, one to another, into one stick that they may become one in your hand. When the sons of your people speak to you, saying will you not declare to us what you mean.
00:20:33 Barbara
By this and then you say. Thus says the Lord God. Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel. I will put them with it to the stick of Judah. Do you know why he’s saying this? Because it in before that if you’ve read anything about the Old Testament.
00:20:54 Barbara
Judah and and Ephraim Ephraim and Judah and also Israel were divided after Solomon died.
00:21:02 Barbara
Jeroboam and real Bone became kings and flooding. Oh my goodness. It was like the Hatfields and the Coys.
00:21:09 Barbara
You know always.
00:21:10 Barbara
Feuding and and trying to destroy one another.
00:21:13 Barbara
So he’s saying.
00:21:14 Barbara
You will come to back back together as one nation. Oh, this is so good. And so I realized.
00:21:22 Barbara
That the power to bring life into your dead situation or diagnosis from the doctor or a child who’s left home in rebellion is so simple when you say. Thus, says the Lord God, come from the four winds of breath and breathe on these circumstances.
00:21:39 Barbara
These impossible circumstances in my life that they may come to life, Holy Spirit, will begin working on your behalf. The breath is Holy Spirit. The one who created the heavens and the earth, and who raised up Christ from the dead. And he’s cooperating with you as you speak the word of God that brings the.
00:21:59 Barbara
Greatest of results. Oh, and there’s a storm where there’s impossible situation in your life. Don’t give up. God, is that wonderful? Hope Jesus Christ. The hope of glory. I want you to listen to the words of the Gaither Vocal Band till the storm passes by.

00:25:44 Barbara
Oh, Amen. Many times the enemy is going to come to you and say there’s no need to try there and there’s no end of sorrow here. There’s no hope. There’s no hope. I am by. But I know thou art with me. And tomorrow I’ll rise where the storms never darken the skies.
00:26:03 Barbara
Do you believe that God can take your impossible looking situation and make it super?
00:26:09 Barbara
Natural oh, Jeremiah said in the 32nd chapter. Ah, Lord God, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power. Nothing is too difficult for thee. When you believe with all your heart that he is a God who rules over everything. Then you are ready to see a miracle of great proportions, my friend.
00:26:30 Barbara
So as I say with you right now, thus sayeth the Lord come from the four winds, O breath that’s Holy Spirit and breathe on these slain that they may come to life. I believe for you, praise God and rejoice that he’s moving those impossible things around.
00:26:46 Barbara
Making them disappear from the dark clouds to the bright sunshine of his love. I’m praying with you, friend. I really AM. And remember the meeting on Saturday. I wish all of you could come one day. We’re going to.
