September the 14th and we’re looking forward to.
00:01:56 Barbara Carmack
Kimberly is on her way here and she was in the Panhandle of.
00:02:01 Barbara Carmack
Oh.
00:02:02 Barbara Carmack
Just a little while ago. She loves that Southern route and I’m not particularly fond of it because it’s only two lane and I love the four lanes, so I have all my gas stations all picked out and everything.
00:02:16 Barbara Carmack
She’s.
00:02:16 Barbara Carmack
A huge tank. She can go almost.
00:02:18 Barbara Carmack
The entire.
00:02:19 Barbara Carmack
750 miles without filling up, so she’s got a great vehicle to travel in. And so we’re going to be having the meeting Saturday.
00:02:29 Barbara Carmack
Be Christmas music and more praise music.
00:02:33 Barbara Carmack
Study to help us keep our minds on.
00:02:36 Barbara Carmack
I know this is a real busy season and we’ve we’re just trying to figure out what we get for this friend and that friend. But remember, Jesus comes first.
00:02:44 Barbara Carmack
Is the reason for the season and then we will have lunch after.
00:02:50 Barbara Carmack
The Bible study and I am preparing a Turkey and we’ll have sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce and just bring your favorite finger food or salad salads the last couple months have been wonderful.
00:03:02 Barbara Carmack
Or your dessert, your favorite dessert for Christmas, and we’ll just enjoy each other’s company after we have the Bible study. 2025 calendars will be sent to you if you give in the month of December.
00:03:17 Barbara Carmack
That’s.
00:03:17 Barbara Carmack
You’re that’s December that you will be giving. And so I will send you a 2000.
00:03:23 Barbara Carmack
5 motivational calendar and thank you so much for your giving all this year. It’s been tough.
00:03:30 Barbara Carmack
I mean, with the economy the way it is, you have been so faithful to give into good ground ministry, and I’m grateful to the Lord for you, our memory verse for this week is haggy I 218.
00:03:40 Barbara Carmack
Time the silver is mine.
00:03:43 Barbara Carmack
Is God.
00:03:44 Barbara Carmack
The silver is mine and the gold is mine, declares the Lord of hosts.
00:03:48 Barbara Carmack
The latter glory of this House will be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts.
00:03:53 Barbara Carmack
In this place I will give peace, declares the Lord.
00:03:57 Barbara Carmack
So Haggai is making sure that you know it’s the Lord speaking.
00:04:01 Barbara Carmack
And it’s marvelous in our eyes, isn’t it?
00:04:03 Barbara Carmack
Message translation of Haggai I-2899 is.
00:04:08 Barbara Carmack
I own the silver.
00:04:09 Barbara Carmack
I own the gold decrees, the God of the heavenly host. This temple is going to end up far better than it started out.
00:04:18 Barbara Carmack
A glorious beginning, but an even more glorious finish.
00:04:21 Barbara Carmack
It’s like our journey.
00:04:23 Barbara Carmack
Each individual’s journey starts as a Sinner.
00:04:26 Barbara Carmack
We’re all, we’ve all.
00:04:27 Barbara Carmack
We’ve all come short of the glory of God.
00:04:30 Barbara Carmack
Then one day your eyes are open to your savior and your Lord Jesus Christ, and you give your heart to him. And so it’s going to be far better for you in the end than it was in the beginning.
00:04:42 Barbara Carmack
The Lord.
00:04:42 Barbara Carmack
Even more glorious finish.
00:04:44 Barbara Carmack
A place in which I will hand out wholeness and holiness says the God of the heavenly host.
00:04:50 Barbara Carmack
The Lord.
00:04:51 Barbara Carmack
I was looking at an old an old.
00:04:56 Barbara Carmack
It was a December Express newsletter from 2021 and I happened upon this article and I thought, Oh my God, Oh my goodness. Things have changed so much. Even under a left wing deep state.
00:05:09 Barbara Carmack
Government.
00:05:10 Barbara Carmack
Our hearts have changed in just such a short time.
00:05:13 Barbara Carmack
And you’ll realize, as I’m reading this article, that your.
00:05:18 Barbara Carmack
The people’s prayers and are taking a stand for the Lord. Jesus has really brought about a wonderful impact on this country.
00:05:27 Barbara Carmack
A spirit is overwhelming this whole country, a spirit of joy and peace.
00:05:32 Barbara Carmack
And righteousness in Jesus.
00:05:34 Barbara Carmack
And I’m going to just read this and see what the comparison and see how different it is now. At the end of 2024, it was the month before Christmas when all through the land, not a Christian, was praying or taking a stand.
00:05:49 Barbara Carmack
Well, that’s changed. Praise the Lord.
00:05:51 Barbara Carmack
The reason for.
00:05:52 Barbara Carmack
No one could say the children were told by their schools not to sing about shepherds and wise men and angels and things.
00:06:00 Barbara Carmack
It might hurt people’s feelings, the teachers would say. December 25th is just a holiday. God has truly answered our prayers, folks. Yet the shoppers, excuse me yet.
00:06:13 Barbara Carmack
Shoppers were ready with credit cards, checks and cash pushing folks down to the floor in a mad dash to get CDs for Brittany.
00:06:21 Barbara Carmack
IPad an Xbox. Something was changing. Something very odd.
00:06:25 Barbara Carmack
Retailers were promoting Ramadan and Kwanzaa and hoping to sell books by Woodward and Acosta.
00:06:33 Barbara Carmack
See, that was four years ago.
00:06:35 Barbara Carmack
Target was hanging their trees upside down at Lowe’s.
00:06:38 Barbara Carmack
Word Christmas was nowhere to be found.
00:06:41 Barbara Carmack
You won’t hear the word Christmas at Christmas at Macy’s and Staples and pennies. The correct word now is diversity.
00:06:48 Barbara Carmack
And that’s going to be gone pretty soon, folks.
00:06:51 Barbara Carmack
It is truly going to be.
00:06:53 Barbara Carmack
We have leaders that are coming into our country soon that are going to take hold of that word, diversity and destroy it PRA.
00:07:02 Barbara Carmack
People who were in power are no longer being heard.
00:07:06 Barbara Carmack
To this.
00:07:06 Barbara Carmack
On Schumer on Feinstein, on Sharpton, on Soros, on Lemon, on AOC and Pelosi.
00:07:13 Barbara Carmack
Some of those are gone.
00:07:15 Barbara Carmack
At the top of the.
00:07:16 Barbara Carmack
There arose such a clatter to eliminate Jesus in all public matter, and we spoke not a word as they took.
00:07:23 Barbara Carmack
Our faith, forbidden to speak of salvation and grace, the true gift of Christmas, was exchanged and discarded.
00:07:30 Barbara Carmack
It was exchanged and discarded and nobody was.
00:07:33 Barbara Carmack
Everybody was afraid to say Merry Christmas.
00:07:35 Barbara Carmack
You remember those years?
00:07:37 Barbara Carmack
Oh, I do.
00:07:39 Barbara Carmack
And the reason for the.
00:07:41 Barbara Carmack
Stop before it started. So as you celebrate winter break or under your dream tree, sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
00:07:50 Barbara Carmack
Choose your words carefully.
00:07:52 Barbara Carmack
What you say?
00:07:54 Barbara Carmack
Shout Merry Christmas, not happy holiday. And so that’s what I do every time I have opportunity.
00:08:00 Barbara Carmack
Christmas. Merry Christ.
00:08:02 Barbara Carmack
And usually the clerk or someone at the counter says Merry Christmas back to me.
00:08:07 Barbara Carmack
Think they’ve all been so?
00:08:10 Barbara Carmack
They are afraid to say that unless we say that to them, is that marvelous praise the Lord.
00:08:15 Barbara Carmack
Well, yesterday I was reading Colossians 2 of such a great.
00:08:19 Barbara Carmack
Chapter about Jesus Christ I I loved.
00:08:22 Barbara Carmack
I love reading about Jesus and I’m going to just read the last couple 3 verses of Colossians 2 and go into Colossians 3 because we can’t learn enough about Jesus during this time of year. In Colossians 2, verse 20, you have died with him to the religious system.
00:08:42 Barbara Carmack
If you are in Jesus.
00:08:43 Barbara Carmack
And I hope you are dear friend.
00:08:45 Barbara Carmack
If you you’re in Jesus Christ and him we live and move and have our being. If you know Jesus, then in him you live and move and have your being.
00:08:57 Barbara Carmack
And and he talks about you have died with him to the religious system.
00:09:02 Barbara Carmack
Now you’re going to hear a lot about the false prophet in the Book of Revelation, and it’s headed up by him and his cohorts.
00:09:08 Barbara Carmack
And that’s going to be the religious system in these last days.
00:09:12 Barbara Carmack
A false system a a a system that is evil.
00:09:16 Barbara Carmack
And all the powers of this world will be fascinated by.
00:09:20 Barbara Carmack
Don’t retreat back to being bullied by the standards and opinions of religion. For example their strict requirements.
00:09:28 Barbara Carmack
Wear your mask.
00:09:29 Barbara Carmack
Stand 6 feet apart.
00:09:31 Barbara Carmack
These horrible strict requirements are not law, they’re not law.
00:09:36 Barbara Carmack
Still, so many people live by them.
00:09:38 Barbara Carmack
Still wearing masks?
00:09:40
Asks.
00:09:40 Barbara Carmack
When I go to places, people are wearing masks and they’re saying things like you can’t associate with that person or don’t eat that or you can’t touch that. And a lot of people, they’re saying, oh, you can’t have this to eat and you can’t. It used to.
00:09:55 Barbara Carmack
You can’t have eggs now. You can have eggs and then it could.
00:09:58 Barbara Carmack
Couldn’t eat butter.
00:09:59 Barbara Carmack
Now you can eat butter. It’s.
00:10:01 Barbara Carmack
Margarine. It’s so stupid.
00:10:04 Barbara Carmack
It really.
00:10:05 Barbara Carmack
And it gets us confused.
00:10:07 Barbara Carmack
Verse 22 of Colossians 2 says these are the doctrines of men and corrupt customs.
00:10:13 Barbara Carmack
That are worthless to help you spiritually. For though they may appear to possess the promise of wisdom in their submission to God through the deprivation and focus of their physical bodies, you’re going to find that, oh, you can’t have this and you can’t have that. Oh, but you.
00:10:29 Barbara Carmack
Have this, I’ll tell you. I’m going to eat my meat.
00:10:32 Barbara Carmack
I really AM.
00:10:33 Barbara Carmack
I need that.
00:10:34 Barbara Carmack
I needed to keep my body going and it’s fuel, so I’m going to continue eating meat.
00:10:40 Barbara Carmack
Is actually nothing more than empty rules rooted in religious rituals.
00:10:45 Barbara Carmack
Getting away from that.
00:10:47 Barbara Carmack
Religious rituals won’t get us to.
00:10:49 Barbara Carmack
Heaven it.
00:10:51 Barbara Carmack
So now we’re going into Colossians 3. Wonderful thing about Christ, resurrection.
00:10:57 Barbara Carmack
It’s your resurrection too.
00:10:59 Barbara Carmack
This is why we are to yearn for all that is above, for all that is Christ, who sits on the throne at the place of all honor and power and authority.
00:11:10 Barbara Carmack
See, we set our minds on things above, on Christ, sitting at the right hand of God and not on things on this earth.
00:11:17 Barbara Carmack
Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm.
00:11:21 Barbara Carmack
Because in Ephesians one verse three God our father has blessed us with all etern.
00:11:28 Barbara Carmack
Every how how can I say that without missing a beat nothing is going to keep us from those spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus when we dwell on him. When we set our mind on things above and not on things on this earth you have died with Christ and.
00:11:44 Barbara Carmack
The tie to this life and now your true life is hidden away in God in Christ.
00:11:49 Barbara Carmack
And as Christ himself is seen for who he really is.
00:11:53 Barbara Carmack
Who you really are will also be.
00:11:56 Barbara Carmack
Praise the Lord, for you are now one with him in his glory, so live as one who has died to every form of sexual sin and lit and impurity.
00:12:08 Barbara Carmack
Going to live a holy life, my.
00:12:10 Barbara Carmack
We’re going to live a life that people see as an example for them to follow.
00:12:14 Barbara Carmack
Because some of us are more mature in the faith, so we’re going to be examples for the younger ones who are not as mature.
00:12:21 Barbara Carmack
So how you once behaved characterized by your evil deeds, you are now going to eliminate those from your lives once and for all.
00:12:31 Barbara Carmack
Anger, the fits of rage, all forms of hatred.
00:12:35 Barbara Carmack
Sing filthy speech and lying. Lay aside your old atom self with its masquerade and.
00:12:42 Barbara Carmack
Eyes and Adam Self is Adam who fell in the Garden of Eden.
00:12:47 Barbara Carmack
And so then when you were born, you had that not only the mentality, but that seed of Adam in you. And when that seed is matured, you are going to be going to another place besides heaven if you don’t accept Jesus as your Savior and Lord.
00:13:04 Barbara Carmack
Lay aside your old Addams self with its masquerade in disguise for you have acquired new creation life, which is continually being renewed into the likeness of the one who created you.
00:13:16 Barbara Carmack
Giving you the full revelation of God in this new creation, life, your nationality makes no difference.
00:13:25 Barbara Carmack
Your ethnicity makes no difference.
00:13:26 Barbara Carmack
Your education makes no difference nor economic.
00:13:31 Barbara Carmack
There’s no longer male or female, Jew or Gentile, slave or free.
00:13:36 Barbara Carmack
They matter nothing for it is Christ who means everything as he lives in every.
00:13:41 Barbara Carmack
I know when I left for College in California, I felt so intimidated by all of the education that they had and everything that was going on.
00:13:53 Barbara Carmack
I went to a small country.
00:13:55 Barbara Carmack
I mean, it wasn’t out in the.
00:13:57 Barbara Carmack
It was just a small town, 350 in the town and our class my senior.
00:14:02 Barbara Carmack
Only 10 people.
00:14:05 Barbara Carmack
So and you can laugh, but it was a wonderful time.
00:14:08 Barbara Carmack
And yet when I got into the larger society, you know, 2-3 million in Los Angeles.
00:14:14 Barbara Carmack
I knew that I was Dumber than the dumbest and I was intimidated for so long, and I hope that you, I’m telling you today not to be intimidated because there’s no longer.
00:14:29 Barbara Carmack
A difference in your ethnicity or your education or your economic status.
00:14:35 Barbara Carmack
You can live in the smallest house here in Denver, and it’s going to be fine for God’s heart.
00:14:41 Barbara Carmack
He’s going to live in you no matter where you live. Praise the Lord.
00:14:47 Barbara Carmack
You are always and dearly loved by God.
00:14:50 Barbara Carmack
You love God and and some of you say, well, I do love God. Well, do you know that God loves you?
00:14:57 Barbara Carmack
He loved you when you were a Sinner.
00:14:59 Barbara Carmack
He loves you now more than anything else and he.
00:15:03 Barbara Carmack
He sees you as one of his children.
00:15:07 Barbara Carmack
Behold, what manner of love the father has lavished upon us. That we are children of his.
00:15:14 Barbara Carmack
So you are always and dearly loved by.
00:15:17 Barbara Carmack
Look up first John 419. Oh you love God because he first loved you.
00:15:22 Barbara Carmack
He loved you in your sin. He loves you.
00:15:24 Barbara Carmack
Loved you.
00:15:26 Barbara Carmack
In your.
00:15:26 Barbara Carmack
In your filthy words, even the words that I was speaking in, your cursing in your filthy speech and your lying in your hatred, God.
00:15:33 Barbara Carmack
Loved you. And so he’s saying, come to me. Come to me. All you that are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.
00:15:41 Barbara Carmack
So robe yourself with virtues of God. Since you have been divinely chosen to be holy, be merciful as you endeavor to understand others and be compassionate. Showing kindness toward all. Be gentle.
00:15:54 Barbara Carmack
Humble unoffendable in your patience with others. When somebody oh puts you down or says something that is demeaning, don’t be offended by it.
00:16:05 Barbara Carmack
Be.
00:16:05 Barbara Carmack
You can walk away peacefully in Jesus name.
00:16:09 Barbara Carmack
I was reading a scripture.
00:16:11 Barbara Carmack
In second Corinthians this morning, in fact, Creflo gave me gave this scripture in his teaching, and I love his teaching.
00:16:19 Barbara Carmack
Just so, so wonderfully personal to all of us. And he said in Second Corinthians, one, verse 5 and 6.
00:16:29 Barbara Carmack
God is telling us that he’s the God of all comfort.
00:16:33 Barbara Carmack
And he.
00:16:33 Barbara Carmack
He comforts us in all of our affliction, all of our suffering.
00:16:38 Barbara Carmack
If you’re suffering today, he is for you.
00:16:40 Barbara Carmack
He is the God of.
00:16:42 Barbara Carmack
He will comfort you during those times when you are suffering, when you are afflicted, because he’s going to come and heal you as you believe and have faith in that healing.
00:16:53 Barbara Carmack
He comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those.
00:16:59 Barbara Carmack
Who are in any affliction with a comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
00:17:06 Barbara Carmack
Now you say, what does that mean?
00:17:08 Barbara Carmack
It means that the God of comfort, maybe he didn’t take you out of the fire.
00:17:12 Barbara Carmack
I was talking to a friend this.
00:17:14 Barbara Carmack
Maybe he didn’t take you out of the flood, but God was with you.
00:17:18 Barbara Carmack
All through the fire, all through the flood.
00:17:21 Barbara Carmack
And everything that you went through. And as I look back on my life, I can see that I can see God was with me even through the loss, even through the the chaotic times, even through the traumatic times God was with us.
00:17:35 Barbara Carmack
That God of comfort is going to be with you as you comfort your brothers and sisters who are.
00:17:42 Barbara Carmack
Who are in situations where they need comfort, tolerate the weaknesses of those in the family of faith, forgiving one another in the same way you have been graciously forgiven by Jesus Christ.
00:17:55 Barbara Carmack
When Jesus said father, forgive them. He was thinking of you.
00:17:59 Barbara Carmack
He was thinking of you in your sin and he was saying, father, forgive them. He was forgiving everyone before and present with him at the cross and in the future. And you are in the future as he was on the cross.
00:18:12 Barbara Carmack
Thinking of you.
00:18:14 Barbara Carmack
If you find fault with someone release the same gift of forgiveness to them. For love is supreme and must flow through each of these virtues.
00:18:23 Barbara Carmack
Becomes the mark of true.
00:18:25 Barbara Carmack
True.
00:18:26 Barbara Carmack
Truly true maturity.
00:18:29 Barbara Carmack
Let your heart be always guided by the peace of the anointed one, who called you to peace as part of his one body.
00:18:37 Barbara Carmack
Don’t go to a luncheon or a night of gift exchange or.
00:18:42 Barbara Carmack
As we will have on Saturday or a place where you’re celebrating Christmas with any grudges against anybody, don’t do that.
00:18:50 Barbara Carmack
Let your heart be always guided by peace and forgiveness. Always be thankful.
00:18:56 Barbara Carmack
Let the word of Christ live in you richly, flooding you with all wisdom.
00:19:01 Barbara Carmack
Apply the scriptures as you teach and instruct one another with psalms and with festive praises and with prophetic songs given to you spontaneously by the spirit.
00:19:12 Barbara Carmack
Sing to God with all your hearts. Is there a time when you speak in your tongues or in your prayer language that you can actually sing a melody?
00:19:21 Barbara Carmack
I hope there is because I.
00:19:22 Barbara Carmack
Singing in the.
00:19:24 Barbara Carmack
I love singing songs that I don’t have to know.
00:19:26 Barbara Carmack
The words I’m just singing melodies to you, Lord.
00:19:30 Barbara Carmack
Oh, praise the Lord. Let every activity of your lives and every word that comes from your lips be drenched, drenched with the beauty of our Lord Jesus. The Anointed 1, and bring your constant praise to God the father.
00:19:43 Barbara Carmack
Because of what Christ has done for you.
00:19:46 Barbara Carmack
Loving relationships, that’s where it is. I had a father and a mother who loved each other so much, and you may not have, but now you have a father who loves you beyond words.
00:19:57 Barbara Carmack
Who loves you with all his heart? And he’s got a big heart.
00:20:00 Barbara Carmack
He really does.
00:20:02 Barbara Carmack
I the other day I got an e-mail from my friend Selena in Nebraska and she said I so enjoyed bridge over troubled water with Simon and Garfunkel, and I’ve got a song that they sing. I’ve got it for you.
00:20:16 Barbara Carmack
So she had it on the.
00:20:18 Barbara Carmack
Up on the e-mail from YouTube and it’s tidings of comfort and joy.
00:20:23 Barbara Carmack
I’d like you to listen to Simon and Garfield.
00:20:27 Speaker 3
God rest you merry gentlemen. Let nothing you dismay.
00:20:34 Speaker 3
Remember Christ, our Savior, was born on Christmas Day.
00:20:40 Speaker 3
To save us all from Satan’s power when we were gone astray.
00:20:49 Speaker 3
Whole tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
00:20:56 Speaker 3
All tidings.
00:20:59 Speaker 3
Of comfort and joy.
00:21:03 Speaker 3
God rest ye merry, gentlemen. Let nothing you dismay.
00:21:11 Speaker 3

Comfort and joy.
00:21:39 Speaker 3
God rest ye merry gentlemen you dismay, dismay, Christ are saying, Christ, our fame. Christmas Day is to save us all from Satan’s power. When we were gone astray.
00:21:40 Barbara Carmack
Recipe.
00:21:45 Speaker 3

00:21:49 Speaker 3
When you were sworn on here was.
00:21:52 Speaker 3
One of Christmas.
00:22:02 Speaker 3
All tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
00:22:09 Speaker 3
Tidings of comfort.
00:22:11 Speaker 3
Food and joy.
00:22:16 Barbara Carmack
That’s.
00:22:17 Barbara Carmack
That’s beautiful and especially when it’s a cappella.
00:22:21 Barbara Carmack
Oh my goodness.
00:22:22 Barbara Carmack
Beautiful pure voices.
00:22:25 Barbara Carmack
I love that there’s so much instrumentation now and it’s beautiful.
00:22:30 Barbara Carmack
I don’t get me wrong. It’s beautiful.
00:22:32 Barbara Carmack
But sometimes that simple singing without any instruments is the most beautiful of all.
00:22:38 Barbara Carmack
Oh God rest ye merry, gentlemen. Let nothing you dismay.
00:22:44 Barbara Carmack
Be it’s wonderful to know that there’s a time in our life when we know that nothing is going to keep us from the closeness that we have with our Lord Jesus. Right now. I was reading in Zechariah.
00:22:59 Barbara Carmack
Chapter 8 and 9:00 today and it’s such beautiful chapters talking about Jerusalem being called the City of Truth.
00:23:07 Barbara Carmack
We want truth, don’t we?
00:23:08 Barbara Carmack
And we don’t like the idea of people telling us lies and saying that’s the truth.
00:23:14 Barbara Carmack
And I believe in this next year you’re going to find people that have integrity, people that are diligent to bring the truth into the realm of people’s hearing.
00:23:25 Barbara Carmack
And no, I pray that TikTok will be either sold or be banned in the United States because.
00:23:33 Barbara Carmack
That social media platform is really detrimental to our young children and there are some states now that are banning the social media.
00:23:44 Barbara Carmack
From the young children.
00:23:47 Barbara Carmack
I think it’s 16 and under and I’m so grateful for that too.
00:23:50 Barbara Carmack
Are waking up folks.
00:23:52 Barbara Carmack
They really are, and they’re coming to the fact that the truth is so important. The truth of Jesus Christ is so different than what men and women of the left wing and and deep state called the truth.
00:24:05 Barbara Carmack
And so we see here.
00:24:08 Barbara Carmack
That God is saying now I will not treat the remnant of these people as in the former days as the Lord, Mrs. Chapter 8.
00:24:15 Barbara Carmack
He’s telling us that he’s going to save his people and oh, he is saving his people in verse. In Chapter 8, verse 12 of Zachariah for there will be peace for the seed and we’re seed. We’re seed being planted every day. Your seed being planted and I hope.
00:24:32 Barbara Carmack
Your seed is going down deep.
00:24:35 Barbara Carmack
And the vine will yield its fruit. The vine, our Lord Jesus, as we read about in John 15, the land will yield its produce, and the heavens will give their do.
00:24:44 Barbara Carmack
And I will cause the remnant of the these people.
00:24:48 Barbara Carmack
To inherit all of these things.
00:24:50 Barbara Carmack
And it will come about that, just as you were a curse among nations, O House of Judah and House of Israel. So I will save you that you may become a blessing.
00:25:00 Barbara Carmack
Do not.
00:25:01 Barbara Carmack
Let your hands be strong for thus says the Lord of hosts, just as I.
00:25:07 Barbara Carmack
Purposed to do harm to you and your father’s provoked me to wrath.
00:25:11 Barbara Carmack
I have not relented.
00:25:13 Barbara Carmack
I have again purposed on these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the House of Judah, so do not fear.
00:25:20
Not fear.
00:25:21 Barbara Carmack
These are the things which you should do speak the truth to one another, judge with truth and judgement for peace is in your gates, and this truth was lacking. 2012, 2013.
00:25:37 Barbara Carmack
2014 you went through those years with me. 2015, then came along an administration that was wanting to tell the truth.
00:25:45 Barbara Carmack
They were so support.
00:25:47 Barbara Carmack
Rest. Oh my goodness, that the left wing and the deep state tried everything in their power to suppress that administration, but now it’s on strong because as I said before in this broadcast, people began praying and they began, came standing. They began standing up for their rights as.
00:26:07 Barbara Carmack
Believers and.
00:26:08 Barbara Carmack
In this country, as as loyal to the Constitution, and I’m so grateful that you prayed.
00:26:17 Barbara Carmack
So grateful that you stood up for that.
00:26:19 Barbara Carmack
So he’s saying do not fear, speak the truth to one another.
00:26:23 Barbara Carmack
With truth and judgement for peace in your gates.
00:26:27 Barbara Carmack
And let none of you devise evil in your heart against one another and do not love. Perjury, for these are things that I hate.
00:26:36 Barbara Carmack
We hate.
00:26:37 Barbara Carmack
Also, we hate the lies that are in courts.
00:26:39 Barbara Carmack
We we have hated everything that has happened in these last few years, and now we’re standing up for the truth, and I’m so grateful to you today.
00:26:48 Barbara Carmack
That you stood up for the truth and you voted.
00:26:51 Barbara Carmack
Voted your.
00:26:52 Barbara Carmack
You voted your conscience.
00:26:54 Barbara Carmack
God bless you and keep you.
00:26:56 Barbara Carmack
God rest ye merry, gentlemen. Let nothing you dismay.
00:27:00 Barbara Carmack
Remember, Christ was born on Christmas Day.

00:01:53 Barbara Carmack
September the 14th and we’re looking forward to.
00:01:56 Barbara Carmack
Kimberly is on her way here and she was in the Panhandle of.
00:02:01 Barbara Carmack
Oh.
00:02:02 Barbara Carmack
Just a little while ago. She loves that Southern route and I’m not particularly fond of it because it’s only two lane and I love the four lanes, so I have all my gas stations all picked out and everything.
00:02:16 Barbara Carmack
She’s.
00:02:16 Barbara Carmack
A huge tank. She can go almost.
00:02:18 Barbara Carmack
The entire.
00:02:19 Barbara Carmack
750 miles without filling up, so she’s got a great vehicle to travel in. And so we’re going to be having the meeting Saturday.
00:02:29 Barbara Carmack
Be Christmas music and more praise music.
00:02:33 Barbara Carmack
Study to help us keep our minds on.
00:02:36 Barbara Carmack
I know this is a real busy season and we’ve we’re just trying to figure out what we get for this friend and that friend. But remember, Jesus comes first.
00:02:44 Barbara Carmack
Is the reason for the season and then we will have lunch after.
00:02:50 Barbara Carmack
The Bible study and I am preparing a Turkey and we’ll have sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce and just bring your favorite finger food or salad salads the last couple months have been wonderful.
00:03:02 Barbara Carmack
Or your dessert, your favorite dessert for Christmas, and we’ll just enjoy each other’s company after we have the Bible study. 2025 calendars will be sent to you if you give in the month of December.
00:03:17 Barbara Carmack
That’s.
00:03:17 Barbara Carmack
You’re that’s December that you will be giving. And so I will send you a 2000.
00:03:23 Barbara Carmack
5 motivational calendar and thank you so much for your giving all this year. It’s been tough.
00:03:30 Barbara Carmack
I mean, with the economy the way it is, you have been so faithful to give into good ground ministry, and I’m grateful to the Lord for you, our memory verse for this week is haggy I 218.
00:03:40 Barbara Carmack
Time the silver is mine.
00:03:43 Barbara Carmack
Is God.
00:03:44 Barbara Carmack
The silver is mine and the gold is mine, declares the Lord of hosts.
00:03:48 Barbara Carmack
The latter glory of this House will be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts.
00:03:53 Barbara Carmack
In this place I will give peace, declares the Lord.
00:03:57 Barbara Carmack
So Haggai is making sure that you know it’s the Lord speaking.
00:04:01 Barbara Carmack
And it’s marvelous in our eyes, isn’t it?
00:04:03 Barbara Carmack
Message translation of Haggai I-2899 is.
00:04:08 Barbara Carmack
I own the silver.
00:04:09 Barbara Carmack
I own the gold decrees, the God of the heavenly host. This temple is going to end up far better than it started out.
00:04:18 Barbara Carmack
A glorious beginning, but an even more glorious finish.
00:04:21 Barbara Carmack
It’s like our journey.
00:04:23 Barbara Carmack
Each individual’s journey starts as a Sinner.
00:04:26 Barbara Carmack
We’re all, we’ve all.
00:04:27 Barbara Carmack
We’ve all come short of the glory of God.
00:04:30 Barbara Carmack
Then one day your eyes are open to your savior and your Lord Jesus Christ, and you give your heart to him. And so it’s going to be far better for you in the end than it was in the beginning.
00:04:42 Barbara Carmack
The Lord.
00:04:42 Barbara Carmack
Even more glorious finish.
00:04:44 Barbara Carmack
A place in which I will hand out wholeness and holiness says the God of the heavenly host.
00:04:50 Barbara Carmack
The Lord.
00:04:51 Barbara Carmack
I was looking at an old an old.
00:04:56 Barbara Carmack
It was a December Express newsletter from 2021 and I happened upon this article and I thought, Oh my God, Oh my goodness. Things have changed so much. Even under a left wing deep state.
00:05:09 Barbara Carmack
Government.
00:05:10 Barbara Carmack
Our hearts have changed in just such a short time.
00:05:13 Barbara Carmack
And you’ll realize, as I’m reading this article, that your.
00:05:18 Barbara Carmack
The people’s prayers and are taking a stand for the Lord. Jesus has really brought about a wonderful impact on this country.
00:05:27 Barbara Carmack
A spirit is overwhelming this whole country, a spirit of joy and peace.
00:05:32 Barbara Carmack
And righteousness in Jesus.
00:05:34 Barbara Carmack
And I’m going to just read this and see what the comparison and see how different it is now. At the end of 2024, it was the month before Christmas when all through the land, not a Christian, was praying or taking a stand.
00:05:49 Barbara Carmack
Well, that’s changed. Praise the Lord.
00:05:51 Barbara Carmack
The reason for.
00:05:52 Barbara Carmack
No one could say the children were told by their schools not to sing about shepherds and wise men and angels and things.
00:06:00 Barbara Carmack
It might hurt people’s feelings, the teachers would say. December 25th is just a holiday. God has truly answered our prayers, folks. Yet the shoppers, excuse me yet.
00:06:13 Barbara Carmack
Shoppers were ready with credit cards, checks and cash pushing folks down to the floor in a mad dash to get CDs for Brittany.
00:06:21 Barbara Carmack
IPad an Xbox. Something was changing. Something very odd.
00:06:25 Barbara Carmack
Retailers were promoting Ramadan and Kwanzaa and hoping to sell books by Woodward and Acosta.
00:06:33 Barbara Carmack
See, that was four years ago.
00:06:35 Barbara Carmack
Target was hanging their trees upside down at Lowe’s.
00:06:38 Barbara Carmack
Word Christmas was nowhere to be found.
00:06:41 Barbara Carmack
You won’t hear the word Christmas at Christmas at Macy’s and Staples and pennies. The correct word now is diversity.
00:06:48 Barbara Carmack
And that’s going to be gone pretty soon, folks.
00:06:51 Barbara Carmack
It is truly going to be.
00:06:53 Barbara Carmack
We have leaders that are coming into our country soon that are going to take hold of that word, diversity and destroy it PRA.
00:07:02 Barbara Carmack
People who were in power are no longer being heard.
00:07:06 Barbara Carmack
To this.
00:07:06 Barbara Carmack
On Schumer on Feinstein, on Sharpton, on Soros, on Lemon, on AOC and Pelosi.
00:07:13 Barbara Carmack
Some of those are gone.
00:07:15 Barbara Carmack
At the top of the.
00:07:16 Barbara Carmack
There arose such a clatter to eliminate Jesus in all public matter, and we spoke not a word as they took.
00:07:23 Barbara Carmack
Our faith, forbidden to speak of salvation and grace, the true gift of Christmas, was exchanged and discarded.
00:07:30 Barbara Carmack
It was exchanged and discarded and nobody was.
00:07:33 Barbara Carmack
Everybody was afraid to say Merry Christmas.
00:07:35 Barbara Carmack
You remember those years?
00:07:37 Barbara Carmack
Oh, I do.
00:07:39 Barbara Carmack
And the reason for the.
00:07:41 Barbara Carmack
Stop before it started. So as you celebrate winter break or under your dream tree, sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
00:07:50 Barbara Carmack
Choose your words carefully.
00:07:52 Barbara Carmack
What you say?
00:07:54 Barbara Carmack
Shout Merry Christmas, not happy holiday. And so that’s what I do every time I have opportunity.
00:08:00 Barbara Carmack
Christmas. Merry Christ.
00:08:02 Barbara Carmack
And usually the clerk or someone at the counter says Merry Christmas back to me.
00:08:07 Barbara Carmack
Think they’ve all been so?
00:08:10 Barbara Carmack
They are afraid to say that unless we say that to them, is that marvelous praise the Lord.
00:08:15 Barbara Carmack
Well, yesterday I was reading Colossians 2 of such a great.
00:08:19 Barbara Carmack
Chapter about Jesus Christ I I loved.
00:08:22 Barbara Carmack
I love reading about Jesus and I’m going to just read the last couple 3 verses of Colossians 2 and go into Colossians 3 because we can’t learn enough about Jesus during this time of year. In Colossians 2, verse 20, you have died with him to the religious system.
00:08:42 Barbara Carmack
If you are in Jesus.
00:08:43 Barbara Carmack
And I hope you are dear friend.
00:08:45 Barbara Carmack
If you you’re in Jesus Christ and him we live and move and have our being. If you know Jesus, then in him you live and move and have your being.
00:08:57 Barbara Carmack
And and he talks about you have died with him to the religious system.
00:09:02 Barbara Carmack
Now you’re going to hear a lot about the false prophet in the Book of Revelation, and it’s headed up by him and his cohorts.
00:09:08 Barbara Carmack
And that’s going to be the religious system in these last days.
00:09:12 Barbara Carmack
A false system a a a system that is evil.
00:09:16 Barbara Carmack
And all the powers of this world will be fascinated by.
00:09:20 Barbara Carmack
Don’t retreat back to being bullied by the standards and opinions of religion. For example their strict requirements.
00:09:28 Barbara Carmack
Wear your mask.
00:09:29 Barbara Carmack
Stand 6 feet apart.
00:09:31 Barbara Carmack
These horrible strict requirements are not law, they’re not law.
00:09:36 Barbara Carmack
Still, so many people live by them.
00:09:38 Barbara Carmack
Still wearing masks?
00:09:40
Asks.
00:09:40 Barbara Carmack
When I go to places, people are wearing masks and they’re saying things like you can’t associate with that person or don’t eat that or you can’t touch that. And a lot of people, they’re saying, oh, you can’t have this to eat and you can’t. It used to.
00:09:55 Barbara Carmack
You can’t have eggs now. You can have eggs and then it could.
00:09:58 Barbara Carmack
Couldn’t eat butter.
00:09:59 Barbara Carmack
Now you can eat butter. It’s.
00:10:01 Barbara Carmack
Margarine. It’s so stupid.
00:10:04 Barbara Carmack
It really.
00:10:05 Barbara Carmack
And it gets us confused.
00:10:07 Barbara Carmack
Verse 22 of Colossians 2 says these are the doctrines of men and corrupt customs.
00:10:13 Barbara Carmack
That are worthless to help you spiritually. For though they may appear to possess the promise of wisdom in their submission to God through the deprivation and focus of their physical bodies, you’re going to find that, oh, you can’t have this and you can’t have that. Oh, but you.
00:10:29 Barbara Carmack
Have this, I’ll tell you. I’m going to eat my meat.
00:10:32 Barbara Carmack
I really AM.
00:10:33 Barbara Carmack
I need that.
00:10:34 Barbara Carmack
I needed to keep my body going and it’s fuel, so I’m going to continue eating meat.
00:10:40 Barbara Carmack
Is actually nothing more than empty rules rooted in religious rituals.
00:10:45 Barbara Carmack
Getting away from that.
00:10:47 Barbara Carmack
Religious rituals won’t get us to.
00:10:49 Barbara Carmack
Heaven it.
00:10:51 Barbara Carmack
So now we’re going into Colossians 3. Wonderful thing about Christ, resurrection.
00:10:57 Barbara Carmack
It’s your resurrection too.
00:10:59 Barbara Carmack
This is why we are to yearn for all that is above, for all that is Christ, who sits on the throne at the place of all honor and power and authority.
00:11:10 Barbara Carmack
See, we set our minds on things above, on Christ, sitting at the right hand of God and not on things on this earth.
00:11:17 Barbara Carmack
Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm.
00:11:21 Barbara Carmack
Because in Ephesians one verse three God our father has blessed us with all etern.
00:11:28 Barbara Carmack
Every how how can I say that without missing a beat nothing is going to keep us from those spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus when we dwell on him. When we set our mind on things above and not on things on this earth you have died with Christ and.
00:11:44 Barbara Carmack
The tie to this life and now your true life is hidden away in God in Christ.
00:11:49 Barbara Carmack
And as Christ himself is seen for who he really is.
00:11:53 Barbara Carmack
Who you really are will also be.
00:11:56 Barbara Carmack
Praise the Lord, for you are now one with him in his glory, so live as one who has died to every form of sexual sin and lit and impurity.
00:12:08 Barbara Carmack
Going to live a holy life, my.
00:12:10 Barbara Carmack
We’re going to live a life that people see as an example for them to follow.
00:12:14 Barbara Carmack
Because some of us are more mature in the faith, so we’re going to be examples for the younger ones who are not as mature.
00:12:21 Barbara Carmack
So how you once behaved characterized by your evil deeds, you are now going to eliminate those from your lives once and for all.
00:12:31 Barbara Carmack
Anger, the fits of rage, all forms of hatred.
00:12:35 Barbara Carmack
Sing filthy speech and lying. Lay aside your old atom self with its masquerade and.
00:12:42 Barbara Carmack
Eyes and Adam Self is Adam who fell in the Garden of Eden.
00:12:47 Barbara Carmack
And so then when you were born, you had that not only the mentality, but that seed of Adam in you. And when that seed is matured, you are going to be going to another place besides heaven if you don’t accept Jesus as your Savior and Lord.
00:13:04 Barbara Carmack
Lay aside your old Addams self with its masquerade in disguise for you have acquired new creation life, which is continually being renewed into the likeness of the one who created you.
00:13:16 Barbara Carmack
Giving you the full revelation of God in this new creation, life, your nationality makes no difference.
00:13:25 Barbara Carmack
Your ethnicity makes no difference.
00:13:26 Barbara Carmack
Your education makes no difference nor economic.
00:13:31 Barbara Carmack
There’s no longer male or female, Jew or Gentile, slave or free.
00:13:36 Barbara Carmack
They matter nothing for it is Christ who means everything as he lives in every.
00:13:41 Barbara Carmack
I know when I left for College in California, I felt so intimidated by all of the education that they had and everything that was going on.
00:13:53 Barbara Carmack
I went to a small country.
00:13:55 Barbara Carmack
I mean, it wasn’t out in the.
00:13:57 Barbara Carmack
It was just a small town, 350 in the town and our class my senior.
00:14:02 Barbara Carmack
Only 10 people.
00:14:05 Barbara Carmack
So and you can laugh, but it was a wonderful time.
00:14:08 Barbara Carmack
And yet when I got into the larger society, you know, 2-3 million in Los Angeles.
00:14:14 Barbara Carmack
I knew that I was Dumber than the dumbest and I was intimidated for so long, and I hope that you, I’m telling you today not to be intimidated because there’s no longer.
00:14:29 Barbara Carmack
A difference in your ethnicity or your education or your economic status.
00:14:35 Barbara Carmack
You can live in the smallest house here in Denver, and it’s going to be fine for God’s heart.
00:14:41 Barbara Carmack
He’s going to live in you no matter where you live. Praise the Lord.
00:14:47 Barbara Carmack
You are always and dearly loved by God.
00:14:50 Barbara Carmack
You love God and and some of you say, well, I do love God. Well, do you know that God loves you?
00:14:57 Barbara Carmack
He loved you when you were a Sinner.
00:14:59 Barbara Carmack
He loves you now more than anything else and he.
00:15:03 Barbara Carmack
He sees you as one of his children.
00:15:07 Barbara Carmack
Behold, what manner of love the father has lavished upon us. That we are children of his.
00:15:14 Barbara Carmack
So you are always and dearly loved by.
00:15:17 Barbara Carmack
Look up first John 419. Oh you love God because he first loved you.
00:15:22 Barbara Carmack
He loved you in your sin. He loves you.
00:15:24 Barbara Carmack
Loved you.
00:15:26 Barbara Carmack
In your.
00:15:26 Barbara Carmack
In your filthy words, even the words that I was speaking in, your cursing in your filthy speech and your lying in your hatred, God.
00:15:33 Barbara Carmack
Loved you. And so he’s saying, come to me. Come to me. All you that are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.
00:15:41 Barbara Carmack
So robe yourself with virtues of God. Since you have been divinely chosen to be holy, be merciful as you endeavor to understand others and be compassionate. Showing kindness toward all. Be gentle.
00:15:54 Barbara Carmack
Humble unoffendable in your patience with others. When somebody oh puts you down or says something that is demeaning, don’t be offended by it.
00:16:05 Barbara Carmack
Be.
00:16:05 Barbara Carmack
You can walk away peacefully in Jesus name.
00:16:09 Barbara Carmack
I was reading a scripture.
00:16:11 Barbara Carmack
In second Corinthians this morning, in fact, Creflo gave me gave this scripture in his teaching, and I love his teaching.
00:16:19 Barbara Carmack
Just so, so wonderfully personal to all of us. And he said in Second Corinthians, one, verse 5 and 6.
00:16:29 Barbara Carmack
God is telling us that he’s the God of all comfort.
00:16:33 Barbara Carmack
And he.
00:16:33 Barbara Carmack
He comforts us in all of our affliction, all of our suffering.
00:16:38 Barbara Carmack
If you’re suffering today, he is for you.
00:16:40 Barbara Carmack
He is the God of.
00:16:42 Barbara Carmack
He will comfort you during those times when you are suffering, when you are afflicted, because he’s going to come and heal you as you believe and have faith in that healing.
00:16:53 Barbara Carmack
He comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those.
00:16:59 Barbara Carmack
Who are in any affliction with a comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
00:17:06 Barbara Carmack
Now you say, what does that mean?
00:17:08 Barbara Carmack
It means that the God of comfort, maybe he didn’t take you out of the fire.
00:17:12 Barbara Carmack
I was talking to a friend this.
00:17:14 Barbara Carmack
Maybe he didn’t take you out of the flood, but God was with you.
00:17:18 Barbara Carmack
All through the fire, all through the flood.
00:17:21 Barbara Carmack
And everything that you went through. And as I look back on my life, I can see that I can see God was with me even through the loss, even through the the chaotic times, even through the traumatic times God was with us.
00:17:35 Barbara Carmack
That God of comfort is going to be with you as you comfort your brothers and sisters who are.
00:17:42 Barbara Carmack
Who are in situations where they need comfort, tolerate the weaknesses of those in the family of faith, forgiving one another in the same way you have been graciously forgiven by Jesus Christ.
00:17:55 Barbara Carmack
When Jesus said father, forgive them. He was thinking of you.
00:17:59 Barbara Carmack
He was thinking of you in your sin and he was saying, father, forgive them. He was forgiving everyone before and present with him at the cross and in the future. And you are in the future as he was on the cross.
00:18:12 Barbara Carmack
Thinking of you.
00:18:14 Barbara Carmack
If you find fault with someone release the same gift of forgiveness to them. For love is supreme and must flow through each of these virtues.
00:18:23 Barbara Carmack
Becomes the mark of true.
00:18:25 Barbara Carmack
True.
00:18:26 Barbara Carmack
Truly true maturity.
00:18:29 Barbara Carmack
Let your heart be always guided by the peace of the anointed one, who called you to peace as part of his one body.
00:18:37 Barbara Carmack
Don’t go to a luncheon or a night of gift exchange or.
00:18:42 Barbara Carmack
As we will have on Saturday or a place where you’re celebrating Christmas with any grudges against anybody, don’t do that.
00:18:50 Barbara Carmack
Let your heart be always guided by peace and forgiveness. Always be thankful.
00:18:56 Barbara Carmack
Let the word of Christ live in you richly, flooding you with all wisdom.
00:19:01 Barbara Carmack
Apply the scriptures as you teach and instruct one another with psalms and with festive praises and with prophetic songs given to you spontaneously by the spirit.
00:19:12 Barbara Carmack
Sing to God with all your hearts. Is there a time when you speak in your tongues or in your prayer language that you can actually sing a melody?
00:19:21 Barbara Carmack
I hope there is because I.
00:19:22 Barbara Carmack
Singing in the.
00:19:24 Barbara Carmack
I love singing songs that I don’t have to know.
00:19:26 Barbara Carmack
The words I’m just singing melodies to you, Lord.
00:19:30 Barbara Carmack
Oh, praise the Lord. Let every activity of your lives and every word that comes from your lips be drenched, drenched with the beauty of our Lord Jesus. The Anointed 1, and bring your constant praise to God the father.
00:19:43 Barbara Carmack
Because of what Christ has done for you.
00:19:46 Barbara Carmack
Loving relationships, that’s where it is. I had a father and a mother who loved each other so much, and you may not have, but now you have a father who loves you beyond words.
00:19:57 Barbara Carmack
Who loves you with all his heart? And he’s got a big heart.
00:20:00 Barbara Carmack
He really does.
00:20:02 Barbara Carmack
I the other day I got an e-mail from my friend Selena in Nebraska and she said I so enjoyed bridge over troubled water with Simon and Garfunkel, and I’ve got a song that they sing. I’ve got it for you.
00:20:16 Barbara Carmack
So she had it on the.
00:20:18 Barbara Carmack
Up on the e-mail from YouTube and it’s tidings of comfort and joy.
00:20:23 Barbara Carmack
I’d like you to listen to Simon and Garfield.
00:20:27 Speaker 3
God rest you merry gentlemen. Let nothing you dismay.

00:21:39 Speaker 3
God rest ye merry gentlemen you dismay, dismay, Christ are saying, Christ, our fame. Christmas Day is to save us all from Satan’s power. When we were gone astray.

00:21:49 Speaker 3

00:21:52 Speaker 3
One of Christmas.
00:22:02 Speaker 3
All tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
00:22:09 Speaker 3
Tidings of comfort.
00:22:11 Speaker 3
Food and joy.
00:22:16 Barbara Carmack
That’s.
00:22:17 Barbara Carmack
That’s beautiful and especially when it’s a cappella.
00:22:21 Barbara Carmack
Oh my goodness.
00:22:22 Barbara Carmack
Beautiful pure voices.
00:22:25 Barbara Carmack
I love that there’s so much instrumentation now and it’s beautiful.
00:22:30 Barbara Carmack
I don’t get me wrong. It’s beautiful.
00:22:32 Barbara Carmack
But sometimes that simple singing without any instruments is the most beautiful of all.
00:22:38 Barbara Carmack
Oh God rest ye merry, gentlemen. Let nothing you dismay.
00:22:44 Barbara Carmack
Be it’s wonderful to know that there’s a time in our life when we know that nothing is going to keep us from the closeness that we have with our Lord Jesus. Right now. I was reading in Zechariah.
00:22:59 Barbara Carmack
Chapter 8 and 9:00 today and it’s such beautiful chapters talking about Jerusalem being called the City of Truth.
00:23:07 Barbara Carmack
We want truth, don’t we?
00:23:08 Barbara Carmack
And we don’t like the idea of people telling us lies and saying that’s the truth.
00:23:14 Barbara Carmack
And I believe in this next year you’re going to find people that have integrity, people that are diligent to bring the truth into the realm of people’s hearing.
00:23:25 Barbara Carmack
And no, I pray that TikTok will be either sold or be banned in the United States because.
00:23:33 Barbara Carmack
That social media platform is really detrimental to our young children and there are some states now that are banning the social media.
00:23:44 Barbara Carmack
From the young children.
00:23:47 Barbara Carmack
I think it’s 16 and under and I’m so grateful for that too.
00:23:50 Barbara Carmack
Are waking up folks.
00:23:52 Barbara Carmack
They really are, and they’re coming to the fact that the truth is so important. The truth of Jesus Christ is so different than what men and women of the left wing and and deep state called the truth.
00:24:05 Barbara Carmack
And so we see here.
00:24:08 Barbara Carmack
That God is saying now I will not treat the remnant of these people as in the former days as the Lord, Mrs. Chapter 8.
00:24:15 Barbara Carmack
He’s telling us that he’s going to save his people and oh, he is saving his people in verse. In Chapter 8, verse 12 of Zachariah for there will be peace for the seed and we’re seed. We’re seed being planted every day. Your seed being planted and I hope.
00:24:32 Barbara Carmack
Your seed is going down deep.
00:24:35 Barbara Carmack
And the vine will yield its fruit. The vine, our Lord Jesus, as we read about in John 15, the land will yield its produce, and the heavens will give their do.
00:24:44 Barbara Carmack
And I will cause the remnant of the these people.
00:24:48 Barbara Carmack
To inherit all of these things.
00:24:50 Barbara Carmack
And it will come about that, just as you were a curse among nations, O House of Judah and House of Israel. So I will save you that you may become a blessing.
00:25:00 Barbara Carmack
Do not.
00:25:01 Barbara Carmack
Let your hands be strong for thus says the Lord of hosts, just as I.
00:25:07 Barbara Carmack
Purposed to do harm to you and your father’s provoked me to wrath.
00:25:11 Barbara Carmack
I have not relented.
00:25:13 Barbara Carmack
I have again purposed on these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the House of Judah, so do not fear.
00:25:20
Not fear.
00:25:21 Barbara Carmack
These are the things which you should do speak the truth to one another, judge with truth and judgement for peace is in your gates, and this truth was lacking. 2012, 2013.
00:25:37 Barbara Carmack
2014 you went through those years with me. 2015, then came along an administration that was wanting to tell the truth.
00:25:45 Barbara Carmack
They were so support.
00:25:47 Barbara Carmack
Rest. Oh my goodness, that the left wing and the deep state tried everything in their power to suppress that administration, but now it’s on strong because as I said before in this broadcast, people began praying and they began, came standing. They began standing up for their rights as.
00:26:07 Barbara Carmack
Believers and.
00:26:08 Barbara Carmack
In this country, as as loyal to the Constitution, and I’m so grateful that you prayed.
00:26:17 Barbara Carmack
So grateful that you stood up for that.
00:26:19 Barbara Carmack
So he’s saying do not fear, speak the truth to one another.
00:26:23 Barbara Carmack
With truth and judgement for peace in your gates.
00:26:27 Barbara Carmack
And let none of you devise evil in your heart against one another and do not love. Perjury, for these are things that I hate.
00:26:36 Barbara Carmack
We hate.
00:26:37 Barbara Carmack
Also, we hate the lies that are in courts.
00:26:39 Barbara Carmack
We we have hated everything that has happened in these last few years, and now we’re standing up for the truth, and I’m so grateful to you today.
00:26:48 Barbara Carmack
That you stood up for the truth and you voted.
00:26:51 Barbara Carmack
Voted your.
00:26:52 Barbara Carmack
You voted your conscience.
00:26:54 Barbara Carmack
God bless you and keep you.
00:26:56 Barbara Carmack
God rest ye merry, gentlemen. Let nothing you dismay.
00:27:00 Barbara Carmack
Remember, Christ was born on Christmas Day.

September the 14th and we’re looking forward to.
00:01:56 Barbara Carmack
Kimberly is on her way here and she was in the Panhandle of.
00:02:01 Barbara Carmack
Oh.
00:02:02 Barbara Carmack
Just a little while ago. She loves that Southern route and I’m not particularly fond of it because it’s only two lane and I love the four lanes, so I have all my gas stations all picked out and everything.
00:02:16 Barbara Carmack
She’s.
00:02:16 Barbara Carmack
A huge tank. She can go almost.
00:02:18 Barbara Carmack
The entire.
00:02:19 Barbara Carmack
750 miles without filling up, so she’s got a great vehicle to travel in. And so we’re going to be having the meeting Saturday.
00:02:29 Barbara Carmack
Be Christmas music and more praise music.
00:02:33 Barbara Carmack
Study to help us keep our minds on.
00:02:36 Barbara Carmack
I know this is a real busy season and we’ve we’re just trying to figure out what we get for this friend and that friend. But remember, Jesus comes first.
00:02:44 Barbara Carmack
Is the reason for the season and then we will have lunch after.
00:02:50 Barbara Carmack
The Bible study and I am preparing a Turkey and we’ll have sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce and just bring your favorite finger food or salad salads the last couple months have been wonderful.
00:03:02 Barbara Carmack
Or your dessert, your favorite dessert for Christmas, and we’ll just enjoy each other’s company after we have the Bible study. 2025 calendars will be sent to you if you give in the month of December.
00:03:17 Barbara Carmack
That’s.
00:03:17 Barbara Carmack
You’re that’s December that you will be giving. And so I will send you a 2000.
00:03:23 Barbara Carmack
5 motivational calendar and thank you so much for your giving all this year. It’s been tough.
00:03:30 Barbara Carmack
I mean, with the economy the way it is, you have been so faithful to give into good ground ministry, and I’m grateful to the Lord for you, our memory verse for this week is haggy I 218.
00:03:40 Barbara Carmack
Time the silver is mine.
00:03:43 Barbara Carmack
Is God.
00:03:44 Barbara Carmack
The silver is mine and the gold is mine, declares the Lord of hosts.
00:03:48 Barbara Carmack
The latter glory of this House will be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts.
00:03:53 Barbara Carmack
In this place I will give peace, declares the Lord.
00:03:57 Barbara Carmack
So Haggai is making sure that you know it’s the Lord speaking.
00:04:01 Barbara Carmack
And it’s marvelous in our eyes, isn’t it?
00:04:03 Barbara Carmack
Message translation of Haggai I-2899 is.
00:04:08 Barbara Carmack
I own the silver.
00:04:09 Barbara Carmack
I own the gold decrees, the God of the heavenly host. This temple is going to end up far better than it started out.
00:04:18 Barbara Carmack
A glorious beginning, but an even more glorious finish.
00:04:21 Barbara Carmack
It’s like our journey.
00:04:23 Barbara Carmack
Each individual’s journey starts as a Sinner.
00:04:26 Barbara Carmack
We’re all, we’ve all.
00:04:27 Barbara Carmack
We’ve all come short of the glory of God.
00:04:30 Barbara Carmack
Then one day your eyes are open to your savior and your Lord Jesus Christ, and you give your heart to him. And so it’s going to be far better for you in the end than it was in the beginning.
00:04:42 Barbara Carmack
The Lord.
00:04:42 Barbara Carmack
Even more glorious finish.
00:04:44 Barbara Carmack
A place in which I will hand out wholeness and holiness says the God of the heavenly host.
00:04:50 Barbara Carmack
The Lord.
00:04:51 Barbara Carmack
I was looking at an old an old.
00:04:56 Barbara Carmack
It was a December Express newsletter from 2021 and I happened upon this article and I thought, Oh my God, Oh my goodness. Things have changed so much. Even under a left wing deep state.
00:05:09 Barbara Carmack
Government.
00:05:10 Barbara Carmack
Our hearts have changed in just such a short time.
00:05:13 Barbara Carmack
And you’ll realize, as I’m reading this article, that your.
00:05:18 Barbara Carmack
The people’s prayers and are taking a stand for the Lord. Jesus has really brought about a wonderful impact on this country.
00:05:27 Barbara Carmack
A spirit is overwhelming this whole country, a spirit of joy and peace.
00:05:32 Barbara Carmack
And righteousness in Jesus.
00:05:34 Barbara Carmack
And I’m going to just read this and see what the comparison and see how different it is now. At the end of 2024, it was the month before Christmas when all through the land, not a Christian, was praying or taking a stand.
00:05:49 Barbara Carmack
Well, that’s changed. Praise the Lord.
00:05:51 Barbara Carmack
The reason for.
00:05:52 Barbara Carmack
No one could say the children were told by their schools not to sing about shepherds and wise men and angels and things.
00:06:00 Barbara Carmack
It might hurt people’s feelings, the teachers would say. December 25th is just a holiday. God has truly answered our prayers, folks. Yet the shoppers, excuse me yet.
00:06:13 Barbara Carmack
Shoppers were ready with credit cards, checks and cash pushing folks down to the floor in a mad dash to get CDs for Brittany.
00:06:21 Barbara Carmack
IPad an Xbox. Something was changing. Something very odd.
00:06:25 Barbara Carmack
Retailers were promoting Ramadan and Kwanzaa and hoping to sell books by Woodward and Acosta.
00:06:33 Barbara Carmack
See, that was four years ago.
00:06:35 Barbara Carmack
Target was hanging their trees upside down at Lowe’s.
00:06:38 Barbara Carmack
Word Christmas was nowhere to be found.
00:06:41 Barbara Carmack
You won’t hear the word Christmas at Christmas at Macy’s and Staples and pennies. The correct word now is diversity.
00:06:48 Barbara Carmack
And that’s going to be gone pretty soon, folks.
00:06:51 Barbara Carmack
It is truly going to be.
00:06:53 Barbara Carmack
We have leaders that are coming into our country soon that are going to take hold of that word, diversity and destroy it PRA.
00:07:02 Barbara Carmack
People who were in power are no longer being heard.
00:07:06 Barbara Carmack
To this.
00:07:06 Barbara Carmack
On Schumer on Feinstein, on Sharpton, on Soros, on Lemon, on AOC and Pelosi.
00:07:13 Barbara Carmack
Some of those are gone.
00:07:15 Barbara Carmack
At the top of the.
00:07:16 Barbara Carmack
There arose such a clatter to eliminate Jesus in all public matter, and we spoke not a word as they took.
00:07:23 Barbara Carmack
Our faith, forbidden to speak of salvation and grace, the true gift of Christmas, was exchanged and discarded.
00:07:30 Barbara Carmack
It was exchanged and discarded and nobody was.
00:07:33 Barbara Carmack
Everybody was afraid to say Merry Christmas.
00:07:35 Barbara Carmack
You remember those years?
00:07:37 Barbara Carmack
Oh, I do.
00:07:39 Barbara Carmack
And the reason for the.
00:07:41 Barbara Carmack
Stop before it started. So as you celebrate winter break or under your dream tree, sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
00:07:50 Barbara Carmack
Choose your words carefully.
00:07:52 Barbara Carmack
What you say?
00:07:54 Barbara Carmack
Shout Merry Christmas, not happy holiday. And so that’s what I do every time I have opportunity.
00:08:00 Barbara Carmack
Christmas. Merry Christ.
00:08:02 Barbara Carmack
And usually the clerk or someone at the counter says Merry Christmas back to me.
00:08:07 Barbara Carmack
Think they’ve all been so?
00:08:10 Barbara Carmack
They are afraid to say that unless we say that to them, is that marvelous praise the Lord.
00:08:15 Barbara Carmack
Well, yesterday I was reading Colossians 2 of such a great.
00:08:19 Barbara Carmack
Chapter about Jesus Christ I I loved.
00:08:22 Barbara Carmack
I love reading about Jesus and I’m going to just read the last couple 3 verses of Colossians 2 and go into Colossians 3 because we can’t learn enough about Jesus during this time of year. In Colossians 2, verse 20, you have died with him to the religious system.
00:08:42 Barbara Carmack
If you are in Jesus.
00:08:43 Barbara Carmack
And I hope you are dear friend.
00:08:45 Barbara Carmack
If you you’re in Jesus Christ and him we live and move and have our being. If you know Jesus, then in him you live and move and have your being.
00:08:57 Barbara Carmack
And and he talks about you have died with him to the religious system.
00:09:02 Barbara Carmack
Now you’re going to hear a lot about the false prophet in the Book of Revelation, and it’s headed up by him and his cohorts.
00:09:08 Barbara Carmack
And that’s going to be the religious system in these last days.
00:09:12 Barbara Carmack
A false system a a a system that is evil.
00:09:16 Barbara Carmack
And all the powers of this world will be fascinated by.
00:09:20 Barbara Carmack
Don’t retreat back to being bullied by the standards and opinions of religion. For example their strict requirements.
00:09:28 Barbara Carmack
Wear your mask.
00:09:29 Barbara Carmack
Stand 6 feet apart.
00:09:31 Barbara Carmack
These horrible strict requirements are not law, they’re not law.
00:09:36 Barbara Carmack
Still, so many people live by them.
00:09:38 Barbara Carmack
Still wearing masks?
00:09:40
Asks.
00:09:40 Barbara Carmack
When I go to places, people are wearing masks and they’re saying things like you can’t associate with that person or don’t eat that or you can’t touch that. And a lot of people, they’re saying, oh, you can’t have this to eat and you can’t. It used to.
00:09:55 Barbara Carmack
You can’t have eggs now. You can have eggs and then it could.
00:09:58 Barbara Carmack
Couldn’t eat butter.
00:09:59 Barbara Carmack
Now you can eat butter. It’s.
00:10:01 Barbara Carmack
Margarine. It’s so stupid.
00:10:04 Barbara Carmack
It really.
00:10:05 Barbara Carmack
And it gets us confused.
00:10:07 Barbara Carmack
Verse 22 of Colossians 2 says these are the doctrines of men and corrupt customs.
00:10:13 Barbara Carmack
That are worthless to help you spiritually. For though they may appear to possess the promise of wisdom in their submission to God through the deprivation and focus of their physical bodies, you’re going to find that, oh, you can’t have this and you can’t have that. Oh, but you.
00:10:29 Barbara Carmack
Have this, I’ll tell you. I’m going to eat my meat.
00:10:32 Barbara Carmack
I really AM.
00:10:33 Barbara Carmack
I need that.
00:10:34 Barbara Carmack
I needed to keep my body going and it’s fuel, so I’m going to continue eating meat.
00:10:40 Barbara Carmack
Is actually nothing more than empty rules rooted in religious rituals.
00:10:45 Barbara Carmack
Getting away from that.
00:10:47 Barbara Carmack
Religious rituals won’t get us to.
00:10:49 Barbara Carmack
Heaven it.
00:10:51 Barbara Carmack
So now we’re going into Colossians 3. Wonderful thing about Christ, resurrection.
00:10:57 Barbara Carmack
It’s your resurrection too.
00:10:59 Barbara Carmack
This is why we are to yearn for all that is above, for all that is Christ, who sits on the throne at the place of all honor and power and authority.
00:11:10 Barbara Carmack
See, we set our minds on things above, on Christ, sitting at the right hand of God and not on things on this earth.
00:11:17 Barbara Carmack
Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm.
00:11:21 Barbara Carmack
Because in Ephesians one verse three God our father has blessed us with all etern.
00:11:28 Barbara Carmack
Every how how can I say that without missing a beat nothing is going to keep us from those spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus when we dwell on him. When we set our mind on things above and not on things on this earth you have died with Christ and.
00:11:44 Barbara Carmack
The tie to this life and now your true life is hidden away in God in Christ.
00:11:49 Barbara Carmack
And as Christ himself is seen for who he really is.
00:11:53 Barbara Carmack
Who you really are will also be.
00:11:56 Barbara Carmack
Praise the Lord, for you are now one with him in his glory, so live as one who has died to every form of sexual sin and lit and impurity.
00:12:08 Barbara Carmack
Going to live a holy life, my.
00:12:10 Barbara Carmack
We’re going to live a life that people see as an example for them to follow.
00:12:14 Barbara Carmack
Because some of us are more mature in the faith, so we’re going to be examples for the younger ones who are not as mature.
00:12:21 Barbara Carmack
So how you once behaved characterized by your evil deeds, you are now going to eliminate those from your lives once and for all.
00:12:31 Barbara Carmack
Anger, the fits of rage, all forms of hatred.
00:12:35 Barbara Carmack
Sing filthy speech and lying. Lay aside your old atom self with its masquerade and.
00:12:42 Barbara Carmack
Eyes and Adam Self is Adam who fell in the Garden of Eden.
00:12:47 Barbara Carmack
And so then when you were born, you had that not only the mentality, but that seed of Adam in you. And when that seed is matured, you are going to be going to another place besides heaven if you don’t accept Jesus as your Savior and Lord.
00:13:04 Barbara Carmack
Lay aside your old Addams self with its masquerade in disguise for you have acquired new creation life, which is continually being renewed into the likeness of the one who created you.
00:13:16 Barbara Carmack
Giving you the full revelation of God in this new creation, life, your nationality makes no difference.
00:13:25 Barbara Carmack
Your ethnicity makes no difference.
00:13:26 Barbara Carmack
Your education makes no difference nor economic.
00:13:31 Barbara Carmack
There’s no longer male or female, Jew or Gentile, slave or free.
00:13:36 Barbara Carmack
They matter nothing for it is Christ who means everything as he lives in every.
00:13:41 Barbara Carmack
I know when I left for College in California, I felt so intimidated by all of the education that they had and everything that was going on.
00:13:53 Barbara Carmack
I went to a small country.
00:13:55 Barbara Carmack
I mean, it wasn’t out in the.
00:13:57 Barbara Carmack
It was just a small town, 350 in the town and our class my senior.
00:14:02 Barbara Carmack
Only 10 people.
00:14:05 Barbara Carmack
So and you can laugh, but it was a wonderful time.
00:14:08 Barbara Carmack
And yet when I got into the larger society, you know, 2-3 million in Los Angeles.
00:14:14 Barbara Carmack
I knew that I was Dumber than the dumbest and I was intimidated for so long, and I hope that you, I’m telling you today not to be intimidated because there’s no longer.
00:14:29 Barbara Carmack
A difference in your ethnicity or your education or your economic status.
00:14:35 Barbara Carmack
You can live in the smallest house here in Denver, and it’s going to be fine for God’s heart.
00:14:41 Barbara Carmack
He’s going to live in you no matter where you live. Praise the Lord.
00:14:47 Barbara Carmack
You are always and dearly loved by God.
00:14:50 Barbara Carmack
You love God and and some of you say, well, I do love God. Well, do you know that God loves you?
00:14:57 Barbara Carmack
He loved you when you were a Sinner.
00:14:59 Barbara Carmack
He loves you now more than anything else and he.
00:15:03 Barbara Carmack
He sees you as one of his children.
00:15:07 Barbara Carmack
Behold, what manner of love the father has lavished upon us. That we are children of his.
00:15:14 Barbara Carmack
So you are always and dearly loved by.
00:15:17 Barbara Carmack
Look up first John 419. Oh you love God because he first loved you.
00:15:22 Barbara Carmack
He loved you in your sin. He loves you.
00:15:24 Barbara Carmack
Loved you.
00:15:26 Barbara Carmack
In your.
00:15:26 Barbara Carmack
In your filthy words, even the words that I was speaking in, your cursing in your filthy speech and your lying in your hatred, God.
00:15:33 Barbara Carmack
Loved you. And so he’s saying, come to me. Come to me. All you that are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.
00:15:41 Barbara Carmack
So robe yourself with virtues of God. Since you have been divinely chosen to be holy, be merciful as you endeavor to understand others and be compassionate. Showing kindness toward all. Be gentle.
00:15:54 Barbara Carmack
Humble unoffendable in your patience with others. When somebody oh puts you down or says something that is demeaning, don’t be offended by it.
00:16:05 Barbara Carmack
Be.
00:16:05 Barbara Carmack
You can walk away peacefully in Jesus name.
00:16:09 Barbara Carmack
I was reading a scripture.
00:16:11 Barbara Carmack
In second Corinthians this morning, in fact, Creflo gave me gave this scripture in his teaching, and I love his teaching.
00:16:19 Barbara Carmack
Just so, so wonderfully personal to all of us. And he said in Second Corinthians, one, verse 5 and 6.
00:16:29 Barbara Carmack
God is telling us that he’s the God of all comfort.
00:16:33 Barbara Carmack
And he.
00:16:33 Barbara Carmack
He comforts us in all of our affliction, all of our suffering.
00:16:38 Barbara Carmack
If you’re suffering today, he is for you.
00:16:40 Barbara Carmack
He is the God of.
00:16:42 Barbara Carmack
He will comfort you during those times when you are suffering, when you are afflicted, because he’s going to come and heal you as you believe and have faith in that healing.
00:16:53 Barbara Carmack
He comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those.
00:16:59 Barbara Carmack
Who are in any affliction with a comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
00:17:06 Barbara Carmack
Now you say, what does that mean?
00:17:08 Barbara Carmack
It means that the God of comfort, maybe he didn’t take you out of the fire.
00:17:12 Barbara Carmack
I was talking to a friend this.
00:17:14 Barbara Carmack
Maybe he didn’t take you out of the flood, but God was with you.
00:17:18 Barbara Carmack
All through the fire, all through the flood.
00:17:21 Barbara Carmack
And everything that you went through. And as I look back on my life, I can see that I can see God was with me even through the loss, even through the the chaotic times, even through the traumatic times God was with us.
00:17:35 Barbara Carmack
That God of comfort is going to be with you as you comfort your brothers and sisters who are.
00:17:42 Barbara Carmack
Who are in situations where they need comfort, tolerate the weaknesses of those in the family of faith, forgiving one another in the same way you have been graciously forgiven by Jesus Christ.
00:17:55 Barbara Carmack
When Jesus said father, forgive them. He was thinking of you.
00:17:59 Barbara Carmack
He was thinking of you in your sin and he was saying, father, forgive them. He was forgiving everyone before and present with him at the cross and in the future. And you are in the future as he was on the cross.
00:18:12 Barbara Carmack
Thinking of you.
00:18:14 Barbara Carmack
If you find fault with someone release the same gift of forgiveness to them. For love is supreme and must flow through each of these virtues.
00:18:23 Barbara Carmack
Becomes the mark of true.
00:18:25 Barbara Carmack
True.
00:18:26 Barbara Carmack
Truly true maturity.
00:18:29 Barbara Carmack
Let your heart be always guided by the peace of the anointed one, who called you to peace as part of his one body.
00:18:37 Barbara Carmack
Don’t go to a luncheon or a night of gift exchange or.
00:18:42 Barbara Carmack
As we will have on Saturday or a place where you’re celebrating Christmas with any grudges against anybody, don’t do that.
00:18:50 Barbara Carmack
Let your heart be always guided by peace and forgiveness. Always be thankful.
00:18:56 Barbara Carmack
Let the word of Christ live in you richly, flooding you with all wisdom.
00:19:01 Barbara Carmack
Apply the scriptures as you teach and instruct one another with psalms and with festive praises and with prophetic songs given to you spontaneously by the spirit.
00:19:12 Barbara Carmack
Sing to God with all your hearts. Is there a time when you speak in your tongues or in your prayer language that you can actually sing a melody?
00:19:21 Barbara Carmack
I hope there is because I.
00:19:22 Barbara Carmack
Singing in the.
00:19:24 Barbara Carmack
I love singing songs that I don’t have to know.
00:19:26 Barbara Carmack
The words I’m just singing melodies to you, Lord.
00:19:30 Barbara Carmack
Oh, praise the Lord. Let every activity of your lives and every word that comes from your lips be drenched, drenched with the beauty of our Lord Jesus. The Anointed 1, and bring your constant praise to God the father.
00:19:43 Barbara Carmack
Because of what Christ has done for you.
00:19:46 Barbara Carmack
Loving relationships, that’s where it is. I had a father and a mother who loved each other so much, and you may not have, but now you have a father who loves you beyond words.
00:19:57 Barbara Carmack
Who loves you with all his heart? And he’s got a big heart.
00:20:00 Barbara Carmack
He really does.
00:20:02 Barbara Carmack
I the other day I got an e-mail from my friend Selena in Nebraska and she said I so enjoyed bridge over troubled water with Simon and Garfunkel, and I’ve got a song that they sing. I’ve got it for you.
00:20:16 Barbara Carmack
So she had it on the.

Tidings of comfort.
00:22:11 Speaker 3
Food and joy.
00:22:16 Barbara Carmack
That’s.
00:22:17 Barbara Carmack
That’s beautiful and especially when it’s a cappella.
00:22:21 Barbara Carmack
Oh my goodness.
00:22:22 Barbara Carmack
Beautiful pure voices.
00:22:25 Barbara Carmack
I love that there’s so much instrumentation now and it’s beautiful.
00:22:30 Barbara Carmack
I don’t get me wrong. It’s beautiful.
00:22:32 Barbara Carmack
But sometimes that simple singing without any instruments is the most beautiful of all.
00:22:38 Barbara Carmack
Oh God rest ye merry, gentlemen. Let nothing you dismay.
00:22:44 Barbara Carmack
Be it’s wonderful to know that there’s a time in our life when we know that nothing is going to keep us from the closeness that we have with our Lord Jesus. Right now. I was reading in Zechariah.
00:22:59 Barbara Carmack
Chapter 8 and 9:00 today and it’s such beautiful chapters talking about Jerusalem being called the City of Truth.
00:23:07 Barbara Carmack
We want truth, don’t we?
00:23:08 Barbara Carmack
And we don’t like the idea of people telling us lies and saying that’s the truth.
00:23:14 Barbara Carmack
And I believe in this next year you’re going to find people that have integrity, people that are diligent to bring the truth into the realm of people’s hearing.
00:23:25 Barbara Carmack
And no, I pray that TikTok will be either sold or be banned in the United States because.
00:23:33 Barbara Carmack
That social media platform is really detrimental to our young children and there are some states now that are banning the social media.
00:23:44 Barbara Carmack
From the young children.
00:23:47 Barbara Carmack
I think it’s 16 and under and I’m so grateful for that too.
00:23:50 Barbara Carmack
Are waking up folks.
00:23:52 Barbara Carmack
They really are, and they’re coming to the fact that the truth is so important. The truth of Jesus Christ is so different than what men and women of the left wing and and deep state called the truth.
00:24:05 Barbara Carmack
And so we see here.
00:24:08 Barbara Carmack
That God is saying now I will not treat the remnant of these people as in the former days as the Lord, Mrs. Chapter 8.
00:24:15 Barbara Carmack
He’s telling us that he’s going to save his people and oh, he is saving his people in verse. In Chapter 8, verse 12 of Zachariah for there will be peace for the seed and we’re seed. We’re seed being planted every day. Your seed being planted and I hope.
00:24:32 Barbara Carmack
Your seed is going down deep.
00:24:35 Barbara Carmack
And the vine will yield its fruit. The vine, our Lord Jesus, as we read about in John 15, the land will yield its produce, and the heavens will give their do.
00:24:44 Barbara Carmack
And I will cause the remnant of the these people.
00:24:48 Barbara Carmack
To inherit all of these things.
00:24:50 Barbara Carmack
And it will come about that, just as you were a curse among nations, O House of Judah and House of Israel. So I will save you that you may become a blessing.
00:25:00 Barbara Carmack
Do not.
00:25:01 Barbara Carmack
Let your hands be strong for thus says the Lord of hosts, just as I.
00:25:07 Barbara Carmack
Purposed to do harm to you and your father’s provoked me to wrath.
00:25:11 Barbara Carmack
I have not relented.
00:25:13 Barbara Carmack
I have again purposed on these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the House of Judah, so do not fear.
00:25:20
Not fear.
00:25:21 Barbara Carmack
These are the things which you should do speak the truth to one another, judge with truth and judgement for peace is in your gates, and this truth was lacking. 2012, 2013.
00:25:37 Barbara Carmack
2014 you went through those years with me. 2015, then came along an administration that was wanting to tell the truth.
00:25:45 Barbara Carmack
They were so support.
00:25:47 Barbara Carmack
Rest. Oh my goodness, that the left wing and the deep state tried everything in their power to suppress that administration, but now it’s on strong because as I said before in this broadcast, people began praying and they began, came standing. They began standing up for their rights as.
00:26:07 Barbara Carmack
Believers and.
00:26:08 Barbara Carmack
In this country, as as loyal to the Constitution, and I’m so grateful that you prayed.
00:26:17 Barbara Carmack
So grateful that you stood up for that.
00:26:19 Barbara Carmack
So he’s saying do not fear, speak the truth to one another.
00:26:23 Barbara Carmack
With truth and judgement for peace in your gates.
00:26:27 Barbara Carmack
And let none of you devise evil in your heart against one another and do not love. Perjury, for these are things that I hate.
00:26:36 Barbara Carmack
We hate.
00:26:37 Barbara Carmack
Also, we hate the lies that are in courts.
00:26:39 Barbara Carmack
We we have hated everything that has happened in these last few years, and now we’re standing up for the truth, and I’m so grateful to you today.
00:26:48 Barbara Carmack
That you stood up for the truth and you voted.
00:26:51 Barbara Carmack
Voted your.
00:26:52 Barbara Carmack
You voted your conscience.
00:26:54 Barbara Carmack
God bless you and keep you.
00:26:56 Barbara Carmack
God rest ye merry, gentlemen. Let nothing you dismay.
00:27:00 Barbara Carmack
Remember, Christ was born on Christmas Day.
