SPEAKER 02 :
Oh, on this beautiful day in Denver, Colorado, welcome to Call to Freedom. I know there are those of you in Wyoming and Nebraska listening, in Kansas and parts of New Mexico, in a little tiny bit of Texas. Oh, God bless you. And also on the Western Slope, I’m so glad that you joined me. I feel like you’re here in the studio. That’s a wonderful sense that I have about you being here. May your journey be showered with the blessings of God and may they become road signs that lead to his best road signs, not detours, not take the next road. No, none of that stuff. None of that construction stuff. Those are road signs that lead to prosperity and blessing and wonderful things, wonderful promises that God has given to his people who believe him and trust in him. Praise the Lord. Right before the program, this is Monday afternoon, right before the program, in the little clip that Nancy DeMoss Wagemuth gives every once in a while, she was talking about God’s ways. And that’s what I’m going to be talking about for our verse for this week. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways. higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. That’s Isaiah 55.9. Thank you so much, Nancy DeMoss Wagemuth. You are blessed to dispense, for in him you live and move and have your being. Praise the Lord. If you’d like to give to Freedom Street, excuse me, call to freedom, freedomstreet.org is the website.

Click on Donate. It’s Monday. Have you understood how this daylight savings time can just throw you for a loop? Oh, it has me. So I’m still kind of regaining. one time in the future for them to just choose one light time, either regular or daytime, but choose one and keep it all year long. Oh, praise the Lord. So you can go to freedomstreet.org, click on donate, or if you’d like to listen to a a program that you’d heard before and you didn’t quite get all of it, you can go to radio shows and it will have that. And Kimberly is on Wednesdays and most of the time on Thursdays now because she’s got so much to cover. So God bless you as you enjoy. the wonderful teachings of godly and Christian evangelists and teachers. Never before have I seen a greater anointing and more anointing as it is right now before the Lord Jesus comes back. So let’s go to Isaiah 55, verse nine. And this is in the new American standard for as the heavens are higher than the earth. So are my ways. And I capitalize that my my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. And oh, in the living translation, Isaiah 55. I’m going to start at the eighth verse. These are so good. Kimberly. talks about this every once in a while, Isaiah 55. My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts, says the Lord, and my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. So why do we just stick to what we grew up with and the education we got in this world? Let’s go beyond that. Let’s go deeper into the word of God. Verse 9 says, For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, and they are, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.” Oh, love that. You can… Focus on that and dwell on that. And some of you, I believe, are going to memorize that. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Praise the Lord. As I read the scripture that Holy Spirit told me to focus on this week, I realized how God has blessed this country. And answered the prayers of his people. The prayers that we have prayed for so long. So long have we prayed for the country to be a Christian country that the forefathers had established it as. And Isaiah 55 tells us that God has entered an everlasting covenant with his people. What does everlasting mean? Forever and ever, everlasting, never ends, everlasting covenant. And just as he made David a witness to the nations, God has brought a leader for this country that the whole world is paying attention to. This is making the enemy furious. If you watch the news at all, you know that the left are just going wild and all kinds of lawsuits against the new administration. But God’s people know, God’s people know that greater is he who is in us than he who is in the world. And Jesus conquered the enemy at the cross and at the resurrection. Praise the Lord. So Isaiah 55, right before we get to the verses we’re going through this week, it says in 3 and 4, verses 3 and 4. Oh, Isaiah 55 is such a great chapter to read if you’re feeling down or if you’re feeling like you’re dry and you need some new water. new kind of spurt to get yourself going. Isaiah 55, 3 and 4 tells us, I will enter into an everlasting covenant with you, and I will show you the same faithful love that I showed David. See, I made him a witness to the nations, an example of leadership as prince and commander of peoples. Boy, that sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Look, you will summon nations you’ve never heard of. Nations who have never heard of you will come running to follow you because Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, has glorified you. He’s speaking specifically of Israel. But now we know that that wonderful anointing from Holy Spirit has spilled over And it overflows into today, into this time, into this age. And we thought, you know, what is going to help our nations? Well, God brought a man who won the elections, and he is – it sounds so good. It sounds like President Trump. I made him a witness to the nations, an example of leadership, and I’m reading from Isaiah 55, as prince and commander of peoples. You know that President Trump is called the commander-in-chief. All right. Look, you will summon nations you’ve never heard of. Nations who have never heard of you will come running to follow you because Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, has glorified you. And I believe there’s a great glorifying of this nation because God has answered our prayer. If my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves and you have humbled yourself and prayed and you have sought God’s face, then he said, then I will hear from heaven. I will forgive your sins and heal your land. And I believe he is doing it. He’s continuing to do it. So. Because of that little introduction, I thought it appropriate to read some of President Trump’s speech from the joint session of Congress last Tuesday. It was one of the greatest speeches I’ve heard in 50 years, and I’ve heard a lot of them. And I really believe that some of you, now I’ve heard from some of you that you didn’t really get to hear him. I hope that you’ll Google and actually hear him in the building, in the Capitol building. So we really need to know that prophecy is being fulfilled as we live in the now, in the now. It’s not Isaiah 55 anymore. It’s now. Isaiah has really come true in 2025. Here’s Donald Trump’s speech. Part of it. I wouldn’t give the whole one because it was eight pages, eight or nine pages. It was 99 minutes. I want to tell you that I told myself, well, I’ll just watch a half an hour and then I’ll go on to something else. Well, I got so involved with his speech and all of the exuberance there in that hall that I listened the entire for the entire speech. And I heard some of you this last weekend at the meeting say, yeah, I listened to the whole thing. Well, President Trump says America is back. Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the golden age of America. From that moment on, it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country. We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four or eight years. And we are just getting started. Our spirit is back, our confidence is back, and the American dream is surging bigger and better than ever before. The American dream is unstoppable. I believe that. I believe the anointing from our forefathers, friends, have just multiplied and multiplied, and it’s surging forth, and it’s unstoppable. And he goes on to say, Our country is on the verge of a comeback the likes of which the world has never witnessed, and perhaps will never witness again. Never been anything like it. The presidential election of November 5th was a mandate. like has not been seen in many decades. We won all seven swing states, giving us an Electoral College victory of 312 votes. We won the popular vote by big numbers and won counties in our country 2,700 to 525 on a map that reads almost completely red for Republicans. And I’m believing Colorado is going to be red again. I am. I’m believing that. Now more Americans believe that our country is headed in the right direction. Likewise, small business optimism saw its single largest one-month gain ever recorded, a 41-point jump. The first month of our presidency, it’s our presidency is the most successful in the history of our nation. He doesn’t talk about himself individually, folks. He talks about he’s a member of this country, and the citizens are what’s important. I also note that the military enlistments in the first month were more than the last four years. So I’m so excited for a great and mighty Army and Navy and Air Force and Marines in Jesus’ name. Within hours of taking the oath of office, I declared a national emergency on our southern border. And I deployed the U.S. military and border patrol to repel the invasion of our country. And what a job they’ve done. As a result, illegal border crossings last month were by far the lowest ever recorded, ever. It was 8,300 last month. I must remind you that Joe Biden continued to say that legislation was needed in order to close the borders. Legislation wasn’t needed. Do you know what was needed? A new president. Oh, and the applause and the roaring and the shouting USA, USA. It was just it was amazing. And he goes on to say every day my administration is fighting to deliver the change America needs to bring a future America together. bring excuse me to deliver the change america needs to bring a future america deserves and we’re doing it this is a time for big dreams and bold action upon taking office i imposed an immediate freeze on all federal hiring a freeze on all new federal regulations and a freeze on all foreign aid I terminated the ridiculous Green News scam. I withdrew from the unfair Paris Climate Accord. Oh, climate change is such a scam, which was costing us trillions of dollars that other countries were not paying. I withdrew from the corrupt World Health Organization, WHO, that gave us COVID. And I also withdrew from the anti-American UN Human Rights Council, which is very much anti-Israel. We ended all of Biden’s environmental restrictions that were making our country far less safe and totally unaffordable. And we’re having to get out of that. I want to note here that we’re having to get out of this with a little bit of discomfort. Yes, because those high prices have been high the last four years. The gas, the groceries have been climbing for the last four years. Now, some of you may be complaining that Trump is not lowering the prices fast enough. Wow. I’ll tell you, when you’re even in health, when you’re getting healthy again, it takes time. It’s a process. And I believe that’s what this is, a very large process. And he goes on to say, we ended the last administration’s insane electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto workers and companies from economic destruction. I need to note here as well, I’m interrupting this a lot, but as I came in through the parking lot of the building, building which we have the radio stations i saw that these workers were building something for the last month do you know what it is charging stations right into the parking lot where we park they have maybe six seven eight parkings about charging stations you know this is a blue state so they’re not continue doing the electric vehicle mandate absolutely they are so until president trump gets all this turned around you’re going to see that states like Colorado are going to continue on the same channel that President Biden was on. So I cursed him. No, I didn’t. Because I know some of you really enjoyed the electric vehicles and good. I see a lot of Teslas around driving around Denver. That’s fine. But don’t tell me I have to buy an electrical vehicle. An electric vehicle. So President Trump goes on to say to unshackle our economy. I have directed that for every new regulation, 10 old regulations must be eliminated. And that’s a process just like I did in my very successful first term. And in that first term, we set records on ending unnecessary rules and regulations like no other president had done before. It’s just one accomplishment after another. We ordered all federal workers to return to office. They were either they will either show up for work in person or be removed from their job. We have ended weaponized government where, as an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent. And he’s speaking of Biden here, what he tried to do to ruin Biden. ruined President Trump by going into his home, invading it, doing things that were totally unprincipled. And then President Trump went on to say, how did that work out? And another uproarious clapping and shouting, not too good, not too good. And I have stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America. It’s back. and it’s especially on x you’ll see your freedom of speech is there and two days ago i signed an order making english the official language of the united states of america i renamed the gulf of mexico the gulf of america and likewise i renamed from a great president william mckinley mount mckinley again beautiful alaska We love Alaska. We’ve ended the tyranny of so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion. And you’ve heard that for years. DEI, it’s gone. Policies all across the entire federal government and indeed the private sector and of our military are being collapsed and ended. And our country will be woke no longer. We believe that whether you are a doctor, an accountant, a lawyer, or an air traffic controller, or if you’re a janitor or a teacher, you should be hired and promoted based on skill and competence, not race or gender. We have removed the poison of critical race theory from our public schools. And I signed an order making the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female. And another huge moment of clapping and standing. I’ll tell you, that group, the Republicans in the House that night, they don’t have to go to 24-hour gym because they were up and down all night long. exercising their rights and privileges. President Trump says, I also signed an executive order to ban men from playing in women’s sports. This is really a ridiculous thing going on. It’s like I heard today, You know, what if the best women basketball players, the WMBA, for instance, in the United States, played the, what are they called? Oh, I’m sorry. I got a moment of not thinking about it. But if the best men’s basketball team in the world, it would be 100 to 3. Yeah. Women cannot compete against men. They just cannot. And so he signed an order. an executive order to ban men from playing in women’s sports. The previous administration cut the number of new oil and gas leases by 95%. Oh, yeah, the Harlem Globetrotters. Yeah, I was thinking of what is the best men’s basketball team, and it is the Harlem Globetrotters. And what if the best women’s basketball team played them? They would beat the women’s team, 100 to 3. Yeah. So he’s saying also that Biden slowed pipeline construction to a halt and closed more than 100 power plants. We are opening up many of those power plants right now, and frankly, we have never seen anything like it. On my first day in office, I declared a national energy emergency. As you’ve heard me say many times, we have more liquid gold under our feet more than any other nation on earth. And by far and now, I fully authorize the most talented team ever assembled to go and get it. It’s called Drill Baby Drill. Oh, and the applause was overwhelming. In his speech, he said, my administration is also working on a gigantic natural gas pipeline in Alaska, which Biden closed down among the largest in the world, where Japan, South Korea and other nations want to be our partner with investments of trillions of dollars each. And that’s coming, folks. It’s never been anything like that one. It will be truly spectacular. It’s all set to go. This scripture that we have been reading for years and years, 2 Chronicles 7.14, it’s coming true. It truly is because we have humbled ourselves, we have prayed, we have sought God’s face, and he’s coming through because our prayers are effective, folks. It really is. Here’s Jimmy Owens, If My People.
SPEAKER 1 :
If I may go
SPEAKER 03 :
We’ll be right back. my face, and turn from their
SPEAKER 1 :
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, shall humble themselves
SPEAKER 03 :
will glory ever sing.
SPEAKER 1 :
And we
SPEAKER 03 :
before any more, which are called by thy name, shall humble themselves, shall humble themselves.
SPEAKER 1 :
and praise.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh, praise God. He’s healing our land, folks. He truly is. I have been reading from a speech by President Trump from last Tuesday at the joint session in Congress. And I’m going to continue. I can’t get it all read today, so I’ll read a little bit of it tomorrow on the program. He goes on to say, and to that end, I have created the brand new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE. Perhaps you’ve heard it. Perhaps at this point in his speech, President Trump read off billions of dollars that have been spent on ridiculous, demeaning projects. The following are some of the fraudulent projects that he mentioned. $22 billion from his HHS to provide free housing and cars. $22 billion for illegal aliens for free housing and cars. Has he ever offered that to you, you homeowner? I dare say no. The presidencies before this have never. $45 million for diversity, equity, and inclusion scholarships in Burma. $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants. Nobody knows what that is, and there was a lot of laughter at that point. $8 million to promote LGBTQ+, in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of. Another part of laughter. $60 million for indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America. Do you know which pockets all these billions and billions of dollars went back to? Yes, it was to all of the billionaires and the elitists who were empowering Biden at that point. I’ve run out of time. $8 million for making mice transgender. This is real. He said $32 million for left-wing propaganda operations in Moldova and $10 million for male circumcision in Mozambique. I will continue some of this tomorrow. Ridiculousness. Ridiculous. And it’s your problem. Taxpayer money. It’s your money he’s talking about. Oh, God is truly healing our land, friend. Continue to pray. He’s going to disrupt all of the evil and the corrupt in our country before Jesus returns. God bless you and keep you and take joy.
