SPEAKER 01 :
Welcome to Call to Freedom. Thank you for joining me today. We need to be together. And if it’s not in proximity, physical proximity, it’s in the Spirit. And I hope that as you listen, you will receive great joy and peace in knowing the Lord Jesus Christ. If you are hoping that you know him or you’re hoping that you’re going to heaven, you can know that you know that you know just by saying, Father God, I thank you for Jesus Christ. I thank you that he died on the cross for my sins. I ask your forgiveness right now, Father God. And I say that you are accepting me as a child of yours. Thank you for helping me be born again, being saved from this world and all that it contains. Oh, that’s all you have to pray. And Father God is going to talk to you and give you a new identity, a new creation. I’m going to talk about that in Romans today. Oh, it’s just so great. And this is my prayer for you, that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and And depth of insight, that means revelation that becomes revolution, as I’ve been talking to you. Your revelation from Holy Spirit will become manifestation or revolution as you are becoming more and more like God. Oh, so that you may be able to discern what is best, what is going on. What is going on in this world? I mean… These last days, the events are happening so quickly. Great frequency and intensity like we have never seen before. And I’ve been here for a long time and never seen such frequency and intensity of the changing world. I’m going to be reading you an article from the American Center for Law and Justice. That happened on Friday. And it’s old news now. Yeah. It’s just, oh wow, it’s just amazing. And God is there every step of the way, every step of the way. I’m so glad to be coming to you live on radio Monday through Thursday at one o’clock in the afternoon so I can let you know what’s going on. And today I’m going to be covering a lot of what happened last weekend. I mean, it was a bombshell.

And that’s the name of my website, freedomstreet.org. And you can either give a donation there, hit that Donate button, or you can listen to previous shows. Hit that Radio Show button, and you will get previous shows. And Kimberly’s on her way to South Carolina, but I think she’s going to phone in on Wednesday. She loves doing the program. Well, last Friday, this was the email from American Center for Law and Justice. And after what happened this weekend, I had to kind of look at it. I said, should I read this? And it’s like Holy Spirit said, yes, you read that because you want to tell the listeners things are changing so quickly and you need to be in this word. It’s like the newspaper. It’s like social media. This word of God is up to date in everything. So this is from American Center for Law and Justice. An Iranian ballistic missile just struck a major Israeli hospital. Iran continues to kill innocent Israelis. The UN says nothing. Today, we are taking major legal action, and that was Friday, sending a demand letter to the Secretary General of the UN. And you know, President Trump wants to get the UN out of the United States. He doesn’t care for them at all. To end this disgraceful silence on brutality. Iran, the orchestrator of the October 7th attacks, continues to rain missiles down upon the Israelis. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Khamenei, has threatened a bitter and painful fate. I don’t even want to say his name. And the UN is notoriously silent unless it involves the condemnation of Israel, even rushing out to quickly condemn Israel’s strikes on Iran. The UN is standing with Iran, the largest state sponsor of terror. Remember, Since 1979, they have been saying death to America. The U.N. and International Criminal Court and much of the international community possess an unmitigated hatred for Israel and are shamelessly rooting for Iran. Israel is despised. Israel’s enemies wish to eradicate the Jewish state. The U.N. quickly rushed to condemn Israel’s strikes on Iran. It’s clear to us the U.N. is siding with the orchestrators of the October 7th attacks. It didn’t even blink an eye after Iran’s latest war crime, the bombing of an Israeli hospital. We are anticipating a new wave of international lawfare to barrage Israel. The ACLJ is ready. They’re ready to unleash a new wave of lawfare upon Israel. We are ready. In addition to today’s demand letter, we submitted briefs to defend Israel at the ICC, and that’s the International Criminal Court. And a few days ago, we filed a major legal submission to the UN and will file again and again and again today. That’s what it is. It’s that perseverance. It’s our sacred duty to defend Israel. We are mobilizing our international offices in Jerusalem on Capitol Hill, and I’m at our office in Europe working to defend Israel. Stand with us and take action, and you can go to aclj.org. Sign our petition. Defend Israel from Anaheim. annihilation. It’s important, friend. My thoughts are going faster than my words can say. It’s important, friend, that you know that the United States has defended Israel and will continue to defend Israel, not only because Israel is God’s chosen people, but there are 700,000 U.S. citizens in Israel right now living there. So that’s why they, ACLJ is saying, we want you to sign our petition and give when you go to ACLJ.org. Do you know what? That’s old news now, since Friday. Do you see how quickly history and the future changes? That’s why God wants you to be on the cutting edge of history making by being in the word every day. Reading the word is like reading the front page of the news. Because it is the news. And the news, believe it or not, friend, the news will follow the prophecies in the Bible. I want you to note that. It’s Holy Spirit that told me that. The news will follow the prophecies in the Bible. So we’ve got to stay right there in the news. And as you know by now, the U.S. bombed the nuclear facilities in Iran Saturday night. It was a huge endeavor and very successful. And wow, once I heard about it, I had the news on till after midnight and I was taking notes. So here are some of the notes that I took Saturday night. U.S. gave Israel a heads up before the strike. Seven B-2s took part in the bombing. And they went from Whitefield in Missouri east, while five other B-2s went west to Guam. And it took the B-2 planes 37 hours to get to their targets and refuel and then come back to America. There was no landing. The mission took 37 hours to complete. President Trump has always declared peace through strength, while Iran has continually spouted Death to America. And you know, we are the great Satan. And from the moments Donald Trump came down that escalator, he declared Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. He’s kept his promise. And the cleanup from the open borders fiasco to placating to Iran’s every whim. has been astounding by the previous administration’s billions of dollars they have given to Iran. He has had to clean up the messes that Obama and Biden caused. Billions of dollars that were given to this evil enemy. It’s just, I can’t even express it. And now it’s time to bring the groveling on our knees of Iran to a halt. It really is. It’s time for that to come to a halt, and I believe President Trump did that Saturday night. And there might be some repercussions, but, friend, I believe it needed to be done. Saturday night, flanked by J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, I saw a visible cooperation while President Trump applauded the miraculous work. All four of them stood there. Oh, it was such a wonderful moment. And President Trump said, I love the patriots who risked their lives for this operation. And the next thing that came out of his mouth, I don’t think he meant to say this, but he did. And you will not hear this on the news. You won’t even hear this on Fox News. The next thing he said out of his mouth is, And I love God. I was raising my hands and praising the Lord. And yes, it’s time to give God all the glory, folks. It is. Oh, my goodness. It was such a glorious moment for me to hear those words come out of the mouth of the President of the United States. I compare this time in history with the coming together with Israel as similar to what we saw in the 80s when President Reagan and Margaret Thatcher worked together in bringing down the Soviet Union. They did. They were on the same page. And when he said, Gorbachev, tear down that wall, it was in the same kind of thing that I cannot allow Iran to have nuclear weapons. As you see the U.S. flag being burned and spit upon, you may think that this is the worst time in American history. But it isn’t. I’ll tell you what. When you saw the B-2s release those 14 bunker buster bombs. And you saw the 24 tomahawks coming from the submarines and hitting those targets. I mean, what happens is that the first bomb, the first MOP, they call them, the bunker buster, it goes into the ground about 200 feet and it makes a hole. for the next one to go in 200 more feet. So it has to be precise. And it was. Oh, I am just in awe of what our U.S. military can do and will do. And it hasn’t been up to par with the last two administrations. And now we’re seeing… wonderful more men and women are joining the Armed Forces than ever before well as you see the US flag being burned and spit upon you may think that this is the worst time in American history but let me take you back to 1859 right before the Civil War broke out I want to tell you about an uprising of opposing factions of those who were in favor of slavery and those who were fighting to free slaves And I saw this in an old movie, a 1950 movie. I love old movies. And I had heard of Harper’s Ferry, but I did not know what it involved. And here’s just a little bit of the plot. John Brown, who was an abolitionist from Connecticut, made a raid on Harper’s Ferry with a small group of men willing to give their lives to for the free slaves movement this raid that took place in october of eighteen fifty nine is a pivotal pivotal moment in american history that significantly contributed to the tensions leading up to the civil war yeah there was a lot of bloodshed before the civil war A fervent abolitionist, Brown sought to incite a violent slave uprising by seizing the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, now West Virginia. His motivation stemmed from his belief that a conspiracy existed to expand slavery into new territories, and he viewed violent action as the only means to confront this injustice. Now, this even entailed neutral states like Kansas. And Kansas at this time is called Bloody Kansas because of the bloody skirmishes, men dying for these causes. And on the night of October 16th of 1859, Brown and 18 followers captured the arsenal and took hostages, hoping to rally enslaved people to his cause. Once they were saying, though, to these black slaves, you’re free. You don’t have to be owned by anybody. They said, what do we do? They had been owned for so many years, they didn’t know what freedom meant. And I can see that in some people that have been under bondage by countries. that have enslaved them, well, how do we get a living? Where do we go? How do we work? Because they had always been given orders. They had taken orders all their life. And so this raid quickly escalated into a violent confrontation with local militia and U.S. Marines, culminating in Brown’s capture. His trial and subsequent execution galvanized both northern abolitionists who hailed him as a martyr and southerners who saw him as a fanatic, deepening sectional divides. And the raid’s aftermath intensified fears of slave insurrections and hastened the move toward the Civil War. All these little skirmishes, finally, President Lincoln declared… I’m declaring all men are created equal. And that war went on. And I got some statistics about the Civil War, American Civil War. It was the deadliest war of Americans in American history. 620,000 individuals lost their lives during the Civil War.
SPEAKER 1 :
620,000.
SPEAKER 01 :
If it were today, we would compare that with 6 million people. That’s because of the population in those days. It was a huge, huge amount of death. Confederate deaths were 260,000, of which 93,000 were killed in combat, while Union deaths were 360,000, of which 11,000 and 10,000 deaths were in combat. More lives were lost in the Civil War That in both world wars, there was always been, you know, and there have always been two camps of beliefs and resistance. You’re seeing that today in the streets of America. But in both world wars, they were a little over 500,000. So the civil war that took place 100 years later. before, resulted in 620,000 dead. Oh, yes, we pray for peace. This is such a fallen world. What I’m praying more than for peace, friend, is Jesus. Lord Jesus, come back quickly. Oh, and until Jesus comes back, there will be no peace. So have the peace of God every day in your heart, in your life, in his mighty name. I speak that to you today, his mighty peace that will go through and through into your heart and into your life. So you will be absolutely calm with no anxiety and no fear about what’s happening. Our memory verse for this week, getting to that now at the middle of our program, is Romans 8, verse 15. For you have not received a spirit of slavery. You have freedom in Jesus’ name, leading to fear again. But you have received a spirit of adoption as sons and daughters by which we cry out. Abba, Father. And in the message translation, Romans 8, 15 through 21, I hope you look this up. It’s just so beautiful. Romans 8 is one of the apex chapters of the Bible. This resurrection life you receive from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike, okay, what’s next, Papa? Abba, Father, what’s next? God’s spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is and we know who we are, father and children. And verse 17 of Romans 8 says, and we know we are going to get what’s coming to us, an unbelievable inheritance. We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with him, then we’re certainly going through the good times with him. That’s why I don’t think there’s any comparison between the present hard times and the coming good times. Oh, we ain’t seen nothing yet. The created world itself can hardly wait for what’s coming next. Everything in creation is being more or less held back. God reigns in until both creation and all the creatures are ready and can be released at the same moment into the glorious times ahead. Meanwhile, the joyful anticipation deepens. Oh, it deepens for me every day. I hope it does for you, friend. Every day on the air, I remind you, That Holy Spirit, that’s God’s Spirit, is with us. In fact, in him we live and move and have our being. I want to remind you of those families who are members of God’s family. I hope that your family, every member of your family is a member of God’s family. And if they’re not, you can pray that Holy Spirit will get to them. He will.
SPEAKER 1 :
He will.
SPEAKER 01 :
He knows how to. He’s an expert. Oh, forget how you were raised and what kind of parents you have or had. Now you are a loved child of the Most High God. When are you going to stop talking negative and all the bad things that are happening and begin to realize how much you’re loved? Begin talking God’s love language. Oh, it’s so beautiful. It really is. I’m reading Song of Solomon right now. That’s God’s love language to you. Here’s a song that I so have enjoyed reading or singing for the past 40 years. And these are the this is a song that we sing on at our meetings on Saturday in heavenly armor will enter the land. The battle belongs to the Lord. no weapon that’s fashioned against us shall stand the battle belongs to the lord we sing glory and honor power and strength to the lord we sing glory and honor and power and strength to the lord the power of darkness comes in like a flood the battle belongs to the lord he raised up a standard the power of his blood remember that friend to cleanse yourself with his blood every day the battle belongs to the lord when your enemy presses in hard do not fear the battle belongs to the lord take courage my friend your redemption is near the battle belongs to the lord for years i’ve wondered i don’t know why i didn’t look into it i wondered who the composer of that song was and there are many groups that have sung that song It was Jamie Owens Collins. God bless you, Jamie. In 1985, she was on her way to church and needed a song to sing. And God gave her this song before the service. Oh, he does that in such marvelous ways. Here’s Jamie Owens Collins.
SPEAKER 03 :
A heavenly armor will enter the land The battle belongs to the Lord No weapon that’s fashioned against us will stand The battle belongs to the Lord We sing glory, honor Power and strength to the Lord We sing glory, honor Power and strength to the Lord When the power of darkness comes in like a flood The battle belongs to the Lord He’s raised up a standard, the power of His blood The battle belongs to the Lord And we sing glory
SPEAKER 02 :
power and strength to the lord we sing glory honor power and strength to the lord
SPEAKER 03 :
When your enemy presses in hard, do not fear. The battle belongs to the Lord. Take courage, my friend. Your redemption is near.
SPEAKER 02 :
The battle belongs to the Lord. And we sing glory, honor, power, and strength to the Lord. We sing. Power and strength to the Lord And we sing glory, honor Power and strength to the Lord We sing glory, honor Power and strength to the Lord
SPEAKER 01 :
Oh, I love that song. Oh, it gives us such courage to go on, doesn’t it? Oh, I want the Lord to know that I will try, endeavor, as you are saying to him, to be courageous and brave no matter what comes along. Fear may try to grasp your heart, friend. and have you in a frenzy. But remember that there is no fear and doubt when it comes to God’s love and care for you. He loves you. He cares for you. He said to Paul in 2 Timothy 1.7, God has not given you that spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind. Remember that when you get into an anxious moment and you’re fluctuating, you’re going back and forth, you feel like you’re being tossed to and fro. When your enemy presses in hard, do not fear. The battle belongs to the Lord. Take courage, my friend. Your redemption is near. The battle belongs to the Lord. Oh, we sing glory, honor, power, and strength to you, Father God. We speak glory and honor, power, and strength to you. And just as President Trump, as that came out of his mouth from the depths of his heart, he was not only thanking the patriots that flew those planes over there. There were seven patriots. of the B-2s that flew over there. Oh, but he is thanking God. He’s saying, I love God. That’s enough for me. When he says peace through strength, I don’t believe there was any other president before him or will be in the future that will have the strength that he had to make that decision and the direction that they were going in. Oh, I’m just in awe. and words cannot even begin to express what this weekend has done. And I believe it’s going to be a turning point in the future of this country and in the whole world. We’re going to see prophecy coming together. Read in Zechariah. In Ezekiel, oh my goodness, the things going on. Ezekiel 37, 38, 39. Great chapters on what’s going to happen in the next few years. God bless you and keep you and be excited about serving Jesus. He’s worth it. He really is. I love you. God bless you and take joy.
