SPEAKER 01 :
Welcome to Calda Freedom. Oh, God holds victory in store for the upright. That’s you if you know Jesus as your Savior and Lord. And he is a shield to those who walk blamelessly before him. That doesn’t mean you’re perfect here on this earth. That means that in accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior. His righteousness has come upon you and now you carry his righteousness in you. That’s right. You are righteous before God. Oh, that’s marvelous. Absolutely marvelous. So I want you to know that you are blessed to dispense. You’re blessed to just throw out that seed into the kingdom of God and let it mature and let it grow so that you can get back 30, 60 and 100 fold from your giving. So in him you live and move and have your being. Our memory verse for this week has been Romans 14, 17. And the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. You’re not living to eat. You’re eating to live. No, you’re not. Yes, you are. You’re not living to eat. You’re eating to live. And so you’re not going to be eating just because you need to eat because some of you, your tummy is still full from breakfast or lunch and you’re wanting to have dinner. So it’s so important that we know the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace and joy in Holy Spirit. This morning when I was listening to Fox News and Koberger finally confessed to the stabbing, murders, horrific stabbing and murder of four of the University of Idaho students. And I just wanted to punch his lights out. I mean, that was me, the carnality in me. I just wanted it. I wanted justice, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, Old Testament justice. And I believe that one of the parents of the four that died so horribly, they decided that a plea bargain would be best, I believe, because they wanted him to confess. All along he’s been saying, I’m innocent, I’m innocent, I’m innocent. And finally they got out of his mouth, yes, I did it. Now they don’t know exactly why he did it. He’s crazy. He’s a nutcase. But for some of the parents, just to hear him say, yes, I did it, he’ll spend the rest of his life in prison, that doesn’t bring back the four beautiful, beautiful children students that were murdered that night but it just gives them a little bit of a closure that he finally said yes I murdered them I just I can’t believe the evil in this world but that’s the enemy folks that’s the enemy I’ve been talking about behavioral patterns and fornication and adultery and that’s from the enemy it truly is and Monday and Tuesday I was talking about a conversation that Darren and I had with Walter from last Friday’s program, June the 27th. And you can listen to that again by going to freedomstreet.org and clicking on Radio Show. That’s all you have to do. Go to freedomstreet.org and click on Radio Show. And June 27th is Darren and… It’s the program that Darren and I did. And Walter was confused and upset that things didn’t work out the way he wanted. We love to experience those things that come from self-indulgence. And we’re all that way. I’m self-indulgent in some areas that maybe you’re not self-indulgent in. But we’ve all got our little… Our little habits, we can’t do without them every day. And so I’m not saying that Walter is wrong, but he is in a place where if he doesn’t change, it’s going to be so dangerous for him. And it’s just such a simple prayer. I’m going to give it to you later on in the program. And Walter’s not congruent with this lady that he’s been with. When I mentioned the word congruent, it means compatible, in agreement, consistent, fitting well together. And in our culture, this having multiple sex partners has become the norm. Inappropriate behavior has become the norm. People that indulge in these sinful practices have a composite identity that’s partial or incomplete. And it’s a scattered identity, not knowing who you are. Maybe you’re depressed or anxious or fearful or thinking of suicide even because you are not complete in your in your being. And that is a composite identity. You want your identity to be in Jesus Christ, don’t you? The warning in Proverbs 5 verse 9 makes it very plain. Do not give your substance to the adulteress. That means from both sides, female and male. Females, don’t give your substance to a guy. And guys, don’t give your substance to a woman that you barely know. And so I think that’s very important. Proverbs 5, verse 9. This is not what you signed up for. How do you get out of this situation and come out of it clean and innocent? Excuse me. I read 1 Corinthians 6 yesterday about your body belonging to the Lord. So you must get real and no longer be in denial about your lifestyle. Are you getting better or are you getting bitter? If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior and Lord, you no longer want to do what the world is doing. You’ve been there and the fun and games, I’ll tell you what, it wears off. It wears off. And I used to do some drinking in college. Yes, I did go to frat parties and that kind of thing and drink. And boy, the next day when you’re throwing up, that is not fun and games. And I am so grateful. I married a man who was a teetotaler and Darren also. And I never had a drink. It’s just I never had a stiff drink anyway. Paul said in First Corinthians six. So what did you have? Well, once in a while I’d have a margarita with Mexican food. But that was a long time ago. I haven’t had a drink in 16 or 17 years since Darren’s been gone. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 6, And he goes on to say, And this is the message now. Don’t you realize that this is not the way to live? Unjust people who don’t care about God will not be joining in his kingdom. Do you realize if you stay and practice in this habit or in this addiction that you have, you will not be able to step into heaven? Oh, my friend, that’s very serious. Those who use and abuse each other, use and abuse sex, use and abuse the earth and everything in it, don’t qualify as citizens in God’s kingdom. And I’m saying here, practicing. Some of you say, well, I did that a long time ago. Are you done with it? Have you quit that? A number of you know from experience what I’m talking about. For not so long ago, you were on that list of self-indulgences. You were just looking for a high. Yeah, looking for a beautiful whoo-hoo. I had a great experience. Since then, hello, since then you’ve been cleaned up and given a fresh start by Jesus, our Master, our Messiah, and by our God present in us, the Spirit. Remember, if you’ve accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, God is present in you. First Corinthians 6, 9, 11. I’m going to repeat some of this because it’s in the living translation. Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourself. Those who indulge in sexual sin or who worship idols or commit adultery or prostitute themselves or practice homosexuality or are thieves. Or greedy people, you’ve cheated, you’re greedy for money or something else, a bigger home, a better car when yours is just fine. Or drunkards or abusive or cheat people. Yeah, you know when I see some of these beautiful new cars, I say, wow, that’s really nice. But I’m just I just really enjoy my almost 20 year old vehicle that I’m driving. And it’s so good that it’s it’s just amazing how God keeps our vehicles and our appliances and everything in our homes. Verse 11 of First Corinthians six says some of you were once like that. Mm hmm. Once, once like that. But you were washed, you were cleansed, you were made holy, you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the spirit of our God. Oh, yesterday I gave you a phrase from C.S. Lewis. If a thing is free to be good, it is also free to be bad. Look at Eve. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why then did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, this is so good, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having. And it is so true that free will, that decision that you made, like, for instance, when I went out with John. And I realized that he’d been engaged before. He’d been in a mental hospital. He’d been very sick. And I decided, okay, I’ll take a chance and just go on a date with him. Fell in love with him. It brought love and joy and goodness and all those things. And then with Darren also. God wants his total unconditional forgiveness and cleansing to wash you clean. The cleansing that will come after the prayer of taking back or sending back your substance will produce freedom and a knowing in your spirit that you are clean. The records are clear. There must be a taking back of the spiritual substance, exchange and ascending back of the spiritual substance. Now you might say, man, I’m really confused, Barbara. Now, I’m going to explain it to you step by step. The process of taking back and sending back substance. And remember, Proverbs 5, 9 said, Do not give your substance, your substance, your spiritual, your soul, your body to the adulteress. So here’s the process of taking back and sending back. And this is from Darren Carmack. Number one, the one who was sexually active or involved has pieces of the partners of past relationships. Number two, a prayer of repentance is necessary. And I’m going to be praying that, the prayer that Darren prayed. Number three, the repentant one gets his stuff, his spiritual substance back. And four, the repentant one sends back the substance received during the sexual encounter. Now, here is the prayer that Darren created to help you realize how wonderful and simple and freeing this is. And if you would like to have an email of this prayer and also the steps of taking back and sending back substance, you can email me at BarbaraCarmack at FreedomStreet.org or call after the program at 1-877-917-7256. And I’ll send it to you. Here it is. And that includes feelings. I come against lust and defilement and take back the spiritual substance that was taken in a sexual relationship. I send back the substance that I received from the person involved in the impure encounter. In Jesus’ name, I say I am free and no longer defiled, but pure and clean. Amen. And forgiveness, I want to really emphasize this. Forgiveness does not come in a feeling, but in hearing the word of God in your heart, which is called rhema revelation. And in Romans 10, 17, we hear that faith comes by hearing. So by faith, you are receiving this prayer and you’re receiving this teaching in Jesus’ name. And so Romans 10, 17 explains that. And it’s called rhema revelation, vital knowing that God is alive and working, working in your life. Now, a good plan after you’ve prayed this prayer is to go to the bathroom, not the kitchen, because that’s where they prepare food. I learned this from Darren. It works. And wash your hands. You soap your hands under running water and speak forgiveness and push away lust. You soap your hands a second time, speaking newness in Christ, and you push away defilement. And third time, you soap your hands and speak you are righteous in Christ and push away pride. If the Lord gives you other spirits that you have contended with, push them away in Jesus’ name. Mockery, any kind of hatred. or fear in Jesus’ name. You just wash your hands and push away that spirit, whatever it is. These are evil spirits, my friend. And as you choose to put stronger, pure thoughts and word pictures, images on the tablet of your heart, your mouth begins to confess the word on a regular basis, which develops godly desires. As you continue doing this and acting on those word thoughts and pictures, the power of that bad habit or feeling is broken in Jesus’ name because God’s word is stronger than any lustful flashback. And that’s what the devil tries to do. Bring all those images back to you and you say, in Jesus’ name, I do not receive them. And call me and ask for a power pack, which will help you get started on scriptures. This is not a routine where you read through the cards. You are serious about memorizing the word of God. So as you come to a card that you have had challenges with or you identify with, you take one scripture every at a time and memorize it out loud. And you also out loud the affirmation at the top of the card and you memorize that scripture. This is your new spiritual habit and practice. Okay, so if you want a power pack to start doing that, call me after the program and leave your name and your address and I will send you one. My phone number again is 1-877-917-7256. As Paul said in Philippians 4, 8, and now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right and pure and lovely and admirable. Think about those things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice, practice, practice all you learned and received from me. Everything you heard from me and saw me doing and the God of peace will be with you. And one of the purity scriptures that Darren used all the time with people he was praying with is Matthew 5, verse 8. Blessed are the pure in spirit, for they shall see God. You now have a pure spirit, pure soul. And so we don’t want that to become defiled any longer. Because as we confess our sins, he’s faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. That’s first John one nine. Oh, such a precious promise for us. Friends, we are no longer estranged from God. We’re no longer strangers. I feel in my heart. I sense I should say sense in my heart. that some of you have felt abandoned or you have felt so estranged from God and you no longer even pray. You just don’t think it’s going to help at all. Well, God loves you. I want you to know that. And just because you may have sinned in the past, if you say this scripture, I ask your forgiveness for being involved in this sinful affair, and I ask that you wash away all thoughts and memories and physical involvement that I encountered in this relationship. I come against lust and defilements, and I take back all that spiritual substance that was taken in. And I send it away. I send it back to the person involved. In Jesus’ name, I’m free and no longer defiled. And as I said, you can go to Barbara Carmack at FreedomStreet.org and I will send it to you, email it to you. So here we see that you’re no longer strangers with God. You are no longer abandoned. You don’t feel that anymore. Forgiveness has made you free and you are now a part of God’s family. Oh, and I’m going to just… remind you how much God loves you and gave his self for you on the tree, on the cross of Calvary. Come with me, and we’re going to experience walking through heaven with God someday. I want you to be with me. Here’s John and me. Come with me.

SPEAKER 04 :
From the manger where he lay To the garden where he prayed I’d often heard about this stranger Then I opened up my heart And you know he walked right into my life Now we’re not strangers anymore.
SPEAKER 03 :
I had heard about this man who could even raise the dead. I heard he calmed the troubled waters. Oh, but I never He could calm my raging sea Now all I do is call His name For He’s my friend He’s my Lord
SPEAKER 06 :
Every man For we’re not strangers anymore If you’re looking for a friend Who’ll go with you to the end Someone who’s closer than a brother Why not give this man a try For even now he’s passing by You won’t be strange You love him as your father. The new world will remain. You won’t be strangers anymore.
SPEAKER 01 :
Oh, amen. You won’t be a stranger to God anymore. All it takes is a simple prayer. He will take you any way you are. All you do is just call on Jesus’ name and he will deliver you from everything that you have ever done. And you know what? God does away with all the memories and the sin and everything. I mean, they are thrown into the depths of a sea that is forever and ever getting rid of all that you’ve done in your life. I can’t explain it anymore. Oh, it’s just amazing living for him. It’s just absolutely wonderful. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. None of my life I would trade for anything. I have received my inheritance on this earth and in heaven, and I want you to experience that as well, my friend. It’s so important that we take every thought captive to the mind and the obedience of Christ. Take on them. Take on the mind of Christ and don’t question your identity. It’s now in Jesus. After you have confessed to sin, the devil likes to bring that back. Don’t think about it. Don’t entertain it for one more minute because Jesus has delivered you from that. If you would like to have that prayer and also an explanation of washing your hands of impurities, you can email me at Barbara Carmack at Freedom Street dot org. Or you can call me after the show here at one eight seven seven. 917-7256. It’s been so good being with you this week. Kimberly is going to be with me, the Lord willing, tomorrow. And I know that you will enjoy her teaching so much. God, isn’t God good? He’s such a good God. And I want to leave this with you. He loves you. He gave himself for you. For God so loved you, he gave himself for you. I want you to remember that. God bless you and keep you and take joy, my friend. It’s a joyful life we live with Jesus.
