1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,800
S1: Broadcasting from Chicago, across North America and beyond. Come as

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:11,399
S1: you are an experienced guide, overcome what seems impossible and

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,400
S1: live as you never imagined. Start your morning with a laugh.

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,599
S2: Practical from the Bible. Tips and tricks to kill. Not tricks,

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:26,400
S2: but tips and tricks. Tips and tricks to kill. Tips and.

6
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,880
S1: Tricks. Delivering the truth daily.

7
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,720
S3: All of my attempts to, you know, prop myself up

8
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,280
S3: with achievement in good works. Well, God wasn't impressed by that.

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:36,720
S3: Even if other people were.

10
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,519
S2: The gospel changes everything.

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,760
S4: Freedom in Christ. Man, it's like that backpack of cement

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,680
S4: just falling to the ground.

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,160
S1: Now, from the call of Hope Studios, this is Carl

14
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,360
S1: and crew. Well, we're coming out of the chute. Hot

15
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,720
S1: on this Freedom Friday. And, boy, that's got layers of

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:56,800
S1: meaning to it, doesn't it?

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,570
S3: Oh, yeah. I mean, Freedom Friday has long been one

18
00:00:59,570 --> 00:01:02,770
S3: of our favorites on Carlin Crew. It's our opportunity to

19
00:01:02,930 --> 00:01:06,290
S3: really hear your stories and just celebrate the freedom we

20
00:01:06,290 --> 00:01:07,050
S3: have in Christ.

21
00:01:07,090 --> 00:01:11,010
S1: Yeah, and the speaking of freedom, it's interesting when people

22
00:01:11,010 --> 00:01:16,170
S1: want freedom nationally or culturally or individually. When you think

23
00:01:16,170 --> 00:01:21,450
S1: about oppressive regimes or maybe even a homeowners association.

24
00:01:23,930 --> 00:01:24,330
S3: Well.

25
00:01:25,770 --> 00:01:26,330
S2: Okay.

26
00:01:26,370 --> 00:01:29,970
S1: I'm sorry, I'm cracking myself up. You're in an HOA

27
00:01:30,010 --> 00:01:32,370
S1: that you're like, could somebody give me some freedom here?

28
00:01:32,370 --> 00:01:34,410
S1: I want to put up a bird feeder, for crying

29
00:01:34,410 --> 00:01:34,929
S1: out loud.

30
00:01:34,970 --> 00:01:38,930
S3: Well, I mean, we are hard wired to desire it.

31
00:01:39,130 --> 00:01:41,250
S1: Yes, that's the point.

32
00:01:41,290 --> 00:01:45,809
S3: There's something in us that rejects feeling like we've been

33
00:01:45,810 --> 00:01:48,890
S3: oppressed in some way. And the way the enemy twists

34
00:01:48,890 --> 00:01:51,290
S3: it is that we can. We can be walking in

35
00:01:51,290 --> 00:01:55,650
S3: spiritual oppression and it can feel like freedom, right? We

36
00:01:55,650 --> 00:01:58,050
S3: can say, I don't want to follow God because that

37
00:01:58,050 --> 00:02:01,410
S3: looks like bondage, when in reality a life apart from

38
00:02:01,410 --> 00:02:05,210
S3: God is bondage, a life in Christ. The light yoke.

39
00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:06,410
S3: That's real freedom.

40
00:02:06,410 --> 00:02:10,010
S1: Yeah. So true. Um, this is great. We've got a

41
00:02:10,050 --> 00:02:12,250
S1: gift coming up here in just a moment. Have you

42
00:02:12,250 --> 00:02:15,610
S1: heard about Iran, what God is doing there? And I

43
00:02:15,850 --> 00:02:19,330
S1: put God there because he's sovereign over all things. He

44
00:02:19,330 --> 00:02:22,090
S1: raises leaders up and he takes them down. And boy,

45
00:02:22,090 --> 00:02:26,050
S1: there is something rocking in Iran coming up here in

46
00:02:26,050 --> 00:02:27,810
S1: a little bit. We're going to have her share and

47
00:02:27,810 --> 00:02:29,530
S1: we're going to give you an overview. What are some

48
00:02:29,530 --> 00:02:32,170
S1: of the fast facts that you need to know about Iran?

49
00:02:32,169 --> 00:02:34,530
S1: If you haven't been following this story, we'll give it

50
00:02:34,530 --> 00:02:35,770
S1: all to you. Coming up.

51
00:02:36,490 --> 00:02:40,690
S5: Standing on the rock each and every day. You're listening

52
00:02:40,730 --> 00:02:41,970
S5: to Carl and crew.

53
00:02:42,010 --> 00:02:44,690
S3: It's Freedom Friday here on Carl and crew, a big story.

54
00:02:44,730 --> 00:02:47,810
S3: Maybe you've not been following it, but in Iran, we've

55
00:02:47,810 --> 00:02:49,609
S3: reported on it a couple times. We're going to get

56
00:02:49,610 --> 00:02:52,970
S3: some perspective from the Billy Graham of Iran. But first,

57
00:02:52,970 --> 00:02:54,330
S3: some fast facts. Jonathan.

58
00:02:54,370 --> 00:02:57,340
S2: Yeah, this has been growing really just over the last

59
00:02:57,340 --> 00:03:00,580
S2: couple of weeks. It started right at the end of December.

60
00:03:00,580 --> 00:03:04,020
S2: Some bizarre merchants in Tehran, the capital city of Iran,

61
00:03:04,060 --> 00:03:07,460
S2: were were striking over a lot of economic pain. There's

62
00:03:07,460 --> 00:03:11,260
S2: been some currency collapse there. Now. These protests have expanded

63
00:03:11,260 --> 00:03:15,859
S2: to over 100 cities in Iran. This then spread to

64
00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:21,299
S2: a larger political protest because there's a dictatorship in Iran.

65
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:25,660
S2: And so people started coming out protesting the government as

66
00:03:25,660 --> 00:03:28,340
S2: a whole. Now the government's come out and they've started

67
00:03:28,340 --> 00:03:30,460
S2: to clamp down. They said, okay, we'll do a little

68
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:32,419
S2: bit over here, but you need to stop doing this.

69
00:03:32,419 --> 00:03:36,740
S2: Otherwise we are going to crack down on you right now.

70
00:03:36,740 --> 00:03:40,060
S2: A human rights group has said that dozens have been

71
00:03:40,060 --> 00:03:43,780
S2: killed and over 2000 protesters have been detained. But it

72
00:03:43,820 --> 00:03:47,900
S2: really hasn't been deterring the protesters. They've kept going and

73
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:52,180
S2: they're shouting chants like death to dictatorship. And hey, let's

74
00:03:52,180 --> 00:03:54,950
S2: keep going. We're all in this together. Don't be afraid.

75
00:03:54,990 --> 00:03:58,590
S1: Great overview. Okay, coming up here, doctor. Hormoz Shariat. He

76
00:03:58,630 --> 00:04:01,950
S1: is an expert. He's at. As Ali said, he's the

77
00:04:01,950 --> 00:04:05,630
S1: Billy Graham to Iran. And I'm not sure he likes

78
00:04:05,630 --> 00:04:09,270
S1: that label, but that's what everyone gave him. 7 million

79
00:04:09,270 --> 00:04:12,710
S1: people on Fridays. Tune in to when he is sharing

80
00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:17,390
S1: the gospel, broadcasting over the arc of those closed borders

81
00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:22,029
S1: in Iran. And it's amazing what God's doing. Doctor Hormoz

82
00:04:22,070 --> 00:04:23,390
S1: Shariat straight ahead.

83
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:26,390
S5: She was trying to earn her way to God, but

84
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:29,870
S5: God showed her she didn't have to. Ali is in

85
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:33,230
S5: the crew. It's Carl and crew on Moody Radio.

86
00:04:33,589 --> 00:04:36,550
S1: In just the last couple of weeks. Boom. Crew. If

87
00:04:36,550 --> 00:04:39,950
S1: you haven't been watching, let you know. There are nationwide

88
00:04:39,950 --> 00:04:46,910
S1: demonstrations cropping up all across Iran hundred cities, 31 provinces,

89
00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:51,670
S1: the government, the Ayatollah and some of the governmental leaders

90
00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:55,800
S1: are pushing back hard. Dozens of people have been killed.

91
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,800
S1: Thousands have been detained. And yet it goes on. They

92
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,039
S1: are protesting. They do not like the economy. They do

93
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,040
S1: not like their leadership. And we wanted to get in.

94
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,479
S1: The man who can give us some more insight here,

95
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,680
S1: Doctor Herman Shariat. They call him the Billy Graham of Iran.

96
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,320
S1: And he's with us right now. Good morning, my friend.

97
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,120
S1: What can we learn? What's going on in Iran? How

98
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,440
S1: are you feeling about what's happening over there?

99
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,240
S6: Well, this is a history in the making, and it

100
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,800
S6: could go any direction. It could go very violent. And

101
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,520
S6: you may see massacres, or you can see the change

102
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,520
S6: of the government coming up, but it's not going to

103
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,040
S6: go away. This is going to stay until one of

104
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,159
S6: these two will happen.

105
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,520
S3: Doctor Shariat, our guest right now, founder and president of

106
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,560
S3: Iran Alive Ministries Iran Lives Channel is the most watched

107
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,440
S3: Christian channel in Iran with over 7 million daily viewers.

108
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,080
S3: That's just over. That's almost 8% of the population that

109
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,600
S3: is watching this, doctor. When you look and you see

110
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,640
S3: these demonstrations, you know, you can see a lot of

111
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,760
S3: different things. Is it about the inflation? Is it about

112
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,120
S3: the economy? Is it about oppression? What do you see

113
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,120
S3: at the heart, the root of what your people are

114
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:09,960
S3: crying out for?

115
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,800
S6: Well, it started because of economy. People are in trouble.

116
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:20,039
S6: About 60% of the people are below poverty line. No bread,

117
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:25,560
S6: no water, no electricity, no medicine. That's why people started

118
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:31,000
S6: coming out. But it changed instantly from demanding for support

119
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,880
S6: for finances to demand that the government should go away.

120
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:40,000
S6: So it has become completely political, started because of economy.

121
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,400
S6: But now in all those cities their demand is not hey,

122
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,839
S6: we are hungry. The demand is you need to go.

123
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,409
S6: We don't want this government, we are done with this government.

124
00:06:51,410 --> 00:06:55,370
S6: So they want to stay on the streets until this happens.

125
00:06:55,370 --> 00:06:59,290
S6: Or maybe, unfortunately, maybe another massacre.

126
00:06:59,650 --> 00:07:02,089
S1: Hormones. I want you to give us an insider view.

127
00:07:02,130 --> 00:07:06,170
S1: You've got some connectivity with followers of Jesus that are

128
00:07:06,170 --> 00:07:09,489
S1: there in Iran. What are you hearing that we're not

129
00:07:09,490 --> 00:07:13,570
S1: hearing on mainstream media? And is there a spiritual component

130
00:07:13,570 --> 00:07:15,850
S1: to this, or is that yet to be seen.

131
00:07:16,330 --> 00:07:20,210
S6: Because of all the suffering? You see an open heaven

132
00:07:20,210 --> 00:07:22,530
S6: in Iran, as you may know, we are we have

133
00:07:22,570 --> 00:07:25,690
S6: a 24 over seven satellite broadcast. We go over the

134
00:07:25,690 --> 00:07:29,010
S6: heads of the mullahs into people's homes. We are also

135
00:07:29,010 --> 00:07:31,530
S6: on internet, but they turn off the internet, but they

136
00:07:31,530 --> 00:07:34,210
S6: cannot turn off the satellite television and we are in

137
00:07:34,210 --> 00:07:37,570
S6: touch with them. We have many believers. We are seeing

138
00:07:37,570 --> 00:07:41,370
S6: many coming to Christ. Over 1400 people per month are

139
00:07:41,370 --> 00:07:44,770
S6: coming to Christ, and now it's going to even grow larger.

140
00:07:44,770 --> 00:07:49,860
S6: But we have underground churches. We have underground people and

141
00:07:49,860 --> 00:07:53,540
S6: we are leading them. So to get an idea, two points.

142
00:07:53,540 --> 00:07:58,620
S6: One for non-believers in Iran, very, very open to the gospel.

143
00:07:58,780 --> 00:08:02,100
S6: Sometimes I think, hey, these things cannot get any worse

144
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:06,180
S6: in Iran. The situation, the living situation. Then I see

145
00:08:06,180 --> 00:08:10,620
S6: that it gets worse. And sometimes I think the spiritual

146
00:08:10,620 --> 00:08:13,860
S6: condition of the people of Iran cannot get any better.

147
00:08:13,900 --> 00:08:18,340
S6: Then it gets better. The worst in Iran gets the economy.

148
00:08:18,380 --> 00:08:21,260
S6: The people are more open to the gospel. It's an

149
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:25,300
S6: amazing open heaven in Iran. Let me share this with you.

150
00:08:25,340 --> 00:08:28,660
S6: We did a very scientific research last year. We gave

151
00:08:28,700 --> 00:08:34,500
S6: a non-Christian organization inside Iran money to do a research

152
00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:38,300
S6: for us. We gave them 4050 questions to ask and

153
00:08:38,660 --> 00:08:42,020
S6: we had such an amazing result. But I want to

154
00:08:42,020 --> 00:08:47,430
S6: share one result with you. That survey showed 82% of

155
00:08:47,429 --> 00:08:52,550
S6: the people said we are done with Islam, 82% negative

156
00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:57,510
S6: view of Islam. Over 90% said we love Jesus and

157
00:08:57,510 --> 00:09:02,150
S6: we love Christianity. That statistic shows what an open heaven

158
00:09:02,150 --> 00:09:06,510
S6: we have in Iran. Now, during this time of turmoil

159
00:09:06,510 --> 00:09:11,550
S6: of protest, Iranian Christians are doing what they're supposed to do.

160
00:09:11,590 --> 00:09:14,950
S6: They're supposed to love and they're supposed to share the gospel.

161
00:09:15,270 --> 00:09:18,670
S6: Iranian Christians are on the streets. They're sharing their faith

162
00:09:18,670 --> 00:09:22,150
S6: with them. They're serving people with water and food, and

163
00:09:23,150 --> 00:09:27,309
S6: they're giving transportation. They're hiding people in their homes. If

164
00:09:27,309 --> 00:09:30,429
S6: they're wounded, they take them in their homes and they

165
00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:34,710
S6: help them to recover. We have some nurses and doctors

166
00:09:34,750 --> 00:09:38,350
S6: are accepting these patients, these people who have been shot

167
00:09:38,750 --> 00:09:42,470
S6: in their homes and saving them and serving them in

168
00:09:42,510 --> 00:09:45,590
S6: their homes, because if they go to a hospital, if

169
00:09:45,590 --> 00:09:47,950
S6: they're shot, if you're shot, you go to a hospital,

170
00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:50,390
S6: you get arrested because they know you were on the

171
00:09:50,390 --> 00:09:53,949
S6: streets and that's why you got shot. So Christians are shining,

172
00:09:54,190 --> 00:09:57,270
S6: shining in this dark days of Iraq.

173
00:09:57,550 --> 00:10:01,110
S3: Doctor chariot, our guest right now. You know anyone who

174
00:10:01,110 --> 00:10:05,070
S3: has any familiarity with Muslim culture. There is a sense

175
00:10:05,070 --> 00:10:09,429
S3: of shame or betrayal, of turning your back on what

176
00:10:09,429 --> 00:10:13,670
S3: is considered the religion of your people to convert to Christianity.

177
00:10:13,950 --> 00:10:17,150
S3: Why are you a follower of Jesus Christ? Just tell

178
00:10:17,150 --> 00:10:18,710
S3: us this morning on this Freedom Friday.

179
00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:20,110
S6: Personally, you mean.

180
00:10:20,110 --> 00:10:21,590
S3: Yes. You personally.

181
00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:24,790
S6: Well, I compared the Bible and Quran. I was searching

182
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:27,830
S6: for God and I read the Quran, but it didn't

183
00:10:27,830 --> 00:10:30,390
S6: satisfy my soul. Where is God and what am I

184
00:10:30,429 --> 00:10:33,590
S6: supposed to do? And when I turned to Bible, I

185
00:10:33,590 --> 00:10:36,990
S6: realized God is personal, wants to have a personal relationship

186
00:10:36,990 --> 00:10:40,309
S6: with me. And what Jesus does is not just to

187
00:10:40,470 --> 00:10:44,120
S6: give commandments. He changes your heart. He gives you a

188
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:49,640
S6: new life. And. Wow. Wonderful. A promise of the Holy Spirit.

189
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:54,400
S6: Not no religion like that promises you believe. You get saved.

190
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,400
S6: You get transformed, and you receive Holy Spirit, the presence

191
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,800
S6: of God in you. Nothing can compare to that.

192
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,960
S1: Oh, Hermosa. This is thrilling. Oh! Boom! Crew! You got

193
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,680
S1: to be thrilled right now. We're going to give you

194
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,400
S1: a link here in just a moment, but I want

195
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,800
S1: to ask this. We hear a lot of stories from Afghanistan, Pakistan,

196
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:19,280
S1: other regions, uh, and Iran. Are you hearing of people

197
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:25,239
S1: still being visited by Jesus visions, dreams and signs and wonders?

198
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,600
S1: Are you seeing that? Are you hearing that?

199
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:33,240
S6: Definitely yes. Daily. Jesus is so gracious. He makes a

200
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,480
S6: special appearances to to the Muslims. It's like a special

201
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,960
S6: going on for them. He he appears to them. And

202
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,290
S6: it's so normal. Visions, dreams and miracles are so normal

203
00:11:43,290 --> 00:11:46,730
S6: that when people contact me, I have to ask them.

204
00:11:46,730 --> 00:11:49,250
S6: They don't tell me. I said, have you had a vision,

205
00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:52,130
S6: dream or miracle? If I don't ask, most of them

206
00:11:52,130 --> 00:11:56,770
S6: don't even tell because it's normal for them. Jesus is

207
00:11:56,809 --> 00:12:02,090
S6: a miracle worker and supernatural is natural for them, by

208
00:12:02,090 --> 00:12:04,770
S6: the way, not just for Muslims. I am saying this

209
00:12:04,770 --> 00:12:08,970
S6: is a great news. The last year, the last six months.

210
00:12:09,410 --> 00:12:14,929
S6: An amazing growth of signs and wonders through Christians. Christians

211
00:12:14,929 --> 00:12:18,290
S6: are praying for other people. They're seeing miracles of healing.

212
00:12:18,610 --> 00:12:21,530
S6: So Christians in Iran are just that. There is an

213
00:12:21,570 --> 00:12:24,290
S6: anointing on them, I don't know. God is with them

214
00:12:24,490 --> 00:12:28,650
S6: and I hear many, many stories of Christians performing signs

215
00:12:28,650 --> 00:12:31,689
S6: and wonders and healings and they don't know it. It's

216
00:12:31,690 --> 00:12:34,850
S6: not like a West. It's not a show on a television.

217
00:12:35,010 --> 00:12:40,300
S6: It's just a normal life. Supernatural life. The Spirit of

218
00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:42,980
S6: God is pouring on Iran, both for Muslims to come

219
00:12:42,980 --> 00:12:47,939
S6: to Christ and Christians to be supernaturally empowered to share

220
00:12:47,940 --> 00:12:49,420
S6: the gospel with others.

221
00:12:49,460 --> 00:12:54,220
S3: Doctor Sheri, with Iran Alive Ministries, if you want more,

222
00:12:54,220 --> 00:13:04,179
S3: just text alive to (800) 555-7898. Just text alive to (800) 555-7898.

223
00:13:04,220 --> 00:13:07,660
S1: Yeah, what an update Hormoz. We're so grateful for you.

224
00:13:07,660 --> 00:13:10,380
S1: And in the name of Jesus, we just say, father,

225
00:13:10,380 --> 00:13:12,980
S1: thank you for this report back and we ask your

226
00:13:12,980 --> 00:13:16,900
S1: spirit to move in power in Iran. Thank you for

227
00:13:16,900 --> 00:13:19,699
S1: the reports that we're receiving. And keep your hand over

228
00:13:19,700 --> 00:13:22,740
S1: our brothers and sisters. And God give them boldness to

229
00:13:22,780 --> 00:13:26,699
S1: continue on in ways that we wouldn't even imagine. Give

230
00:13:26,700 --> 00:13:31,540
S1: them courage to continue on. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

231
00:13:31,580 --> 00:13:42,420
S3: Amen. Again, just text the word alive to 800 555 78. 98. Alive. 805. Five. Five. Seven. Eight. Nine. Eight.

232
00:13:43,540 --> 00:13:46,700
S5: Get to know the team. Behind the scenes. Follow Carl

233
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:48,940
S5: and crew on Facebook and Instagram.

234
00:13:49,140 --> 00:13:52,420
S1: It's freedom Friday, Ali. Here we go.

235
00:13:52,620 --> 00:13:55,420
S3: I know this is. I know Fridays you look forward

236
00:13:55,420 --> 00:13:57,780
S3: to for many reasons, but for us it's because we

237
00:13:57,820 --> 00:14:00,660
S3: hear freedom stories and we celebrate freedom in Christ.

238
00:14:00,700 --> 00:14:07,260
S1: Yeah. Central to spiritual freedom is leveraging. And I don't

239
00:14:07,260 --> 00:14:08,900
S1: mean that in a weird way. I mean it in

240
00:14:08,900 --> 00:14:12,540
S1: a biblical way. Leveraging utilizing the power of the Holy

241
00:14:12,540 --> 00:14:17,060
S1: Spirit that Jesus said would come. When he left, he said,

242
00:14:17,059 --> 00:14:21,500
S1: I must go, but the Holy Spirit will come. It's

243
00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:24,220
S1: to your advantage that the Holy Spirit comes. Now the

244
00:14:24,220 --> 00:14:27,660
S1: Holy Spirit was an absent in the Old Testament or

245
00:14:27,660 --> 00:14:30,740
S1: the inter Testament period, but the role of the Holy

246
00:14:30,740 --> 00:14:34,900
S1: Spirit was different in the New Covenant. When Pentecost came,

247
00:14:35,060 --> 00:14:41,390
S1: the Holy Spirit came and indwelled followers of Jesus. In

248
00:14:41,390 --> 00:14:45,030
S1: Christ Jesus, I love that out of Ephesians one and

249
00:14:45,190 --> 00:14:49,390
S1: the net impact must be realized today. Here's the question

250
00:14:49,630 --> 00:14:52,230
S1: how do we need to understand the power of the

251
00:14:52,230 --> 00:14:54,430
S1: Holy Spirit and the role of the Holy Spirit? He

252
00:14:54,430 --> 00:14:57,950
S1: is here right now in our lives, not just on

253
00:14:57,950 --> 00:15:00,390
S1: a day to day basis, but when it comes to

254
00:15:00,430 --> 00:15:04,950
S1: putting sin to death. How does this work? What have

255
00:15:04,950 --> 00:15:07,990
S1: we missed? What do we need to focus on if

256
00:15:08,030 --> 00:15:11,950
S1: we're going to get spiritual victory? Living in God's power

257
00:15:11,950 --> 00:15:16,350
S1: and saying no to self-help any longer? Hang on. We've

258
00:15:16,350 --> 00:15:18,790
S1: got a guest coming up. Ali. This guy, this will

259
00:15:18,790 --> 00:15:20,550
S1: fire you up unless you got wet wood.

260
00:15:20,710 --> 00:15:23,350
S3: Doctor Sam Storms joining us coming up here on Carl

261
00:15:23,350 --> 00:15:23,790
S3: and crew.

262
00:15:24,310 --> 00:15:27,030
S5: You can take him out of Alaska, but you can't

263
00:15:27,070 --> 00:15:30,870
S5: take Alaska out of him. Carl is in the crew.

264
00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:33,710
S5: It's Carl and crew on Moody Radio.

265
00:15:33,830 --> 00:15:38,000
S1: Well, on this Freedom Friday, there's no more important topic

266
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,560
S1: than to discuss than the role of the Holy Spirit

267
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:41,320
S1: in our life.

268
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,800
S3: And so we've got a special guest, Doctor Sam Storms,

269
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,880
S3: to talk about. What does it look like to live

270
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,240
S3: in the power of the Holy Spirit in the context

271
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,120
S3: of what we've been talking about all week long? Living

272
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,880
S3: in power, walking in victory over those things that have

273
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:54,600
S3: held us down.

274
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,240
S1: Well, Sam, let's do this. Let's go back. Let's go.

275
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,360
S1: Old Testament inter testament period right up to the day

276
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,360
S1: of Pentecost. What was going on then? What's going on now,

277
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:05,120
S1: my friend?

278
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,840
S7: Well, a lot of Christians fail to realize the Holy

279
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,800
S7: Spirit is everywhere in the Old Testament. He's very, very present.

280
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,120
S7: But his ministry then was different from how it is now.

281
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,720
S7: I do believe that all Old Testament believers were born again.

282
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,680
S7: I do not believe that they were permanently indwelt by

283
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,360
S7: the spirit. And of course, that's the the singular glory

284
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,440
S7: of the New covenant ministry of the spirit, that he

285
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,000
S7: comes and not only takes up residence, but he never leaves.

286
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,690
S7: But in the Old Testament the spirit would come upon

287
00:16:33,690 --> 00:16:37,370
S7: people to equip them for various ministries. The King would

288
00:16:37,370 --> 00:16:41,330
S7: have the Holy Spirit come upon him, prophets, military commanders,

289
00:16:41,650 --> 00:16:44,970
S7: artisans of the tabernacle, and so on. But the spirit

290
00:16:44,970 --> 00:16:48,730
S7: could just as easily lift from those individuals. But with

291
00:16:48,730 --> 00:16:51,370
S7: the coming of Pentecost and the pouring out of the spirit,

292
00:16:51,690 --> 00:16:54,170
S7: all that has changed. Now we are not only born

293
00:16:54,170 --> 00:16:57,010
S7: again by the spirit, we are permanently indwelt by the spirit.

294
00:16:57,250 --> 00:16:59,650
S7: You know, Paul talks about us in Ephesians chapter two

295
00:16:59,690 --> 00:17:03,170
S7: as being the temple of the Holy Spirit's presence. Uh,

296
00:17:03,410 --> 00:17:07,130
S7: we are constantly in touch with the spirit. We don't

297
00:17:07,130 --> 00:17:09,010
S7: have to live in fear that somehow he's going to

298
00:17:09,050 --> 00:17:13,170
S7: lift off from us and abandon us. So the glory

299
00:17:13,170 --> 00:17:15,850
S7: of the New Covenant is that what was only in

300
00:17:15,850 --> 00:17:19,689
S7: partial true of the Old Testament is now in consummation.

301
00:17:19,690 --> 00:17:23,450
S7: It's complete. We have the spirit. Not only that, but

302
00:17:23,490 --> 00:17:25,690
S7: you just mentioned it, I think just briefly, in passing

303
00:17:25,730 --> 00:17:28,970
S7: the the sealing of the spirit that that authenticates us

304
00:17:28,970 --> 00:17:32,850
S7: as God's children, the down payment or the, uh, the

305
00:17:32,890 --> 00:17:35,490
S7: guarantee of the spirit, which is God's way of saying

306
00:17:35,770 --> 00:17:38,609
S7: what you experience of the spirit now is my pledge

307
00:17:38,609 --> 00:17:42,970
S7: to you that you will experience in consummate expression and glory, uh,

308
00:17:42,970 --> 00:17:45,530
S7: in the new heavens and new earth. So we get

309
00:17:45,530 --> 00:17:47,650
S7: a foretaste of what the Spirit of God will do

310
00:17:47,650 --> 00:17:51,010
S7: for us in the age to come. But by contemplating

311
00:17:51,010 --> 00:17:53,250
S7: his presence within us in the present day.

312
00:17:53,410 --> 00:17:56,050
S3: Doctor Sam Storms, our guest right now founder and president

313
00:17:56,050 --> 00:17:58,609
S3: of Enjoying God Ministries, serves on the Council of the

314
00:17:58,650 --> 00:18:00,969
S3: Gospel Coalition. You know, there was a song that I

315
00:18:00,970 --> 00:18:03,889
S3: remember singing a lot in the church that I grew

316
00:18:03,890 --> 00:18:08,650
S3: up in, created me a clean heart one. Yep. Cast

317
00:18:08,650 --> 00:18:11,330
S3: me not away from thy presence, oh, Lord. And take

318
00:18:11,330 --> 00:18:14,770
S3: not thy Holy Spirit from me. Now, you mentioned we

319
00:18:14,810 --> 00:18:17,770
S3: are sealed in the spirit as believers. We are indwelled

320
00:18:17,770 --> 00:18:20,369
S3: by the Holy Spirit. But then we see this. What

321
00:18:20,410 --> 00:18:23,130
S3: can the Holy Spirit somehow be taken away from us?

322
00:18:23,250 --> 00:18:24,490
S3: How do we interpret that?

323
00:18:24,730 --> 00:18:27,649
S7: I think David was alluding to what he saw happen

324
00:18:27,650 --> 00:18:31,380
S7: to Saul. You remember it talks about in in second Samuel,

325
00:18:31,420 --> 00:18:35,460
S7: how the Spirit of God departed from Saul. Saul received

326
00:18:35,460 --> 00:18:38,300
S7: that special presence and anointing of the spirit to help

327
00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:40,100
S7: him lead the people of Israel. But when he fell

328
00:18:40,100 --> 00:18:44,260
S7: into sin and unrepentant idolatry, the Spirit of God left him.

329
00:18:44,380 --> 00:18:46,660
S7: That's what David is talking about. He's not talking about

330
00:18:46,660 --> 00:18:49,500
S7: his salvation. He's saying, Lord, I don't want to happen

331
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:52,740
S7: to me what I saw happen to Saul. So renew

332
00:18:52,740 --> 00:18:55,340
S7: in me a right spirit. Give me the strength to

333
00:18:55,380 --> 00:18:58,300
S7: persevere and the things you've called me to do. So

334
00:18:58,340 --> 00:19:02,100
S7: I don't think that Psalm 51 is designed to create

335
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:04,580
S7: a fear in us. Now, having said that, we do

336
00:19:04,580 --> 00:19:08,100
S7: need to realize we are able and unfortunately, we can

337
00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:11,500
S7: quench the Holy Spirit. We can grieve the Holy Spirit. Uh,

338
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:15,100
S7: Ephesians chapter four Paul talks about, uh, living in unrepentant

339
00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:18,300
S7: sin and grieving the Spirit of God, causing pain to

340
00:19:18,340 --> 00:19:22,100
S7: him distress. And in first Thessalonians five he talks about

341
00:19:22,140 --> 00:19:25,340
S7: quenching the Holy Spirit so we can, in fact, uh,

342
00:19:25,340 --> 00:19:29,310
S7: do things to diminish His sanctifying role in our lives,

343
00:19:29,310 --> 00:19:32,310
S7: but nothing that a born again believer does will drive

344
00:19:32,350 --> 00:19:36,030
S7: the Holy Spirit from us permanently. He's always there, always

345
00:19:36,030 --> 00:19:38,590
S7: working in us. And even when we do quench or

346
00:19:38,630 --> 00:19:41,790
S7: grieve him, he's quick to bring conviction to our hearts

347
00:19:42,030 --> 00:19:44,109
S7: and point us to the cross. Point us to his

348
00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:46,950
S7: abiding presence in our lives as a way of getting

349
00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:47,990
S7: things set straight.

350
00:19:48,350 --> 00:19:52,070
S1: Just a quick thought. We've sung Psalm 51. It was

351
00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:55,230
S1: very popularized many years ago, but we need to almost

352
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:58,429
S1: be careful that we don't build theology around some of

353
00:19:58,430 --> 00:20:02,350
S1: these Old Testament clips, because the Holy Spirit's role has

354
00:20:02,350 --> 00:20:05,670
S1: changed dramatically. What do you say?

355
00:20:06,070 --> 00:20:09,870
S7: Oh, I totally agree with you. Not just change, but escalated.

356
00:20:09,910 --> 00:20:12,990
S7: It has gone up. What the spirit does now is

357
00:20:12,990 --> 00:20:15,830
S7: so far and away beyond what the Old Testament saint

358
00:20:15,869 --> 00:20:19,830
S7: could experience. So yes, it is something. I heard you

359
00:20:19,869 --> 00:20:22,590
S7: quoted just a moment ago, Ali. The create in me

360
00:20:22,590 --> 00:20:25,629
S7: a clean heart. I think he's talking about renewal. Just

361
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,480
S7: like when we sin, obviously it damages our capacity to

362
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,400
S7: enjoy God. We don't lose salvation, but we do diminish

363
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,639
S7: the experience of fellowship. And we can pray, Lord, create

364
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,760
S7: in me a clean heart. Renew me. Cleanse me by

365
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,440
S7: your spirit. Apply the blood of Jesus to me. As

366
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,360
S7: first John one says. So yes, that is those are

367
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,320
S7: very real possibilities. But the Spirit of God will never

368
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,199
S7: depart from those who are truly born again.

369
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,880
S3: Doctor Sam Storms our guest. Coming up, let's talk about

370
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,719
S3: what it looks like to live in the power of

371
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,400
S3: the Holy Spirit to walk. Being led by the Holy

372
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,160
S3: Spirit was listening to a podcast yesterday, and the guy

373
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,479
S3: was talking about how he grew up in a church

374
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:09,000
S3: where they talked all about good Christian, solid living, but

375
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,200
S3: were almost embarrassed by the supernatural, as if they were

376
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:17,280
S3: afraid to be associated with like being a weird Christian.

377
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,159
S3: And we do have this sort of fear when it

378
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,800
S3: comes to talking about the Holy Spirit, that we're going

379
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,840
S3: to sound crazy or somehow weird, so we shy away

380
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,639
S3: from it. So what does it look like to really

381
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,679
S3: walk very normally in the power of the Holy Spirit

382
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,399
S3: that's coming up here on Karlyn Crew.

383
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,080
S5: Your spiritual pit stop to keep you going in the race.

384
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,400
S5: You're listening to Carl and crew.

385
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,000
S1: We've been talking about the power of God all week long,

386
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,040
S1: and to not camp out on the power of the

387
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,080
S1: Holy Spirit, which is the answer according to Romans 813,

388
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,520
S1: for the conquering of sin in our life, boy, it'd

389
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,480
S1: be a big mess. Doctor Sam Storms is our guest

390
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,800
S1: right now. Allie set that up beautifully. Have we done

391
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,800
S1: something in the church? We've rehearsed this with you a

392
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,720
S1: little bit before, Sam. It feels like we fall off two,

393
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:11,160
S1: two ways from this high ridge of appropriately walking in

394
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,680
S1: the power of the spirit. One is we get a

395
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,920
S1: little bit out on the edge of Experientialism. I guess

396
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,360
S1: I'll just call it that. But the other side is

397
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,280
S1: we stick our head in the sand and don't even

398
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,490
S1: talk about the power of the Holy Spirit. How do

399
00:22:24,490 --> 00:22:26,690
S1: we recover from those falls?

400
00:22:26,890 --> 00:22:29,570
S7: I see this all the time. I see churches that

401
00:22:29,570 --> 00:22:34,290
S7: are so highly word based and oriented that they are

402
00:22:34,290 --> 00:22:36,689
S7: terrified of the work, of the spirit. They're terrified of

403
00:22:36,690 --> 00:22:39,409
S7: anything experiential. And then, on the other hand, you have

404
00:22:39,410 --> 00:22:41,889
S7: people who are so given to feeling the presence of

405
00:22:41,890 --> 00:22:45,250
S7: the spirit and experiencing his power, that they're terrified that

406
00:22:45,250 --> 00:22:49,010
S7: they're going to become legalistic Pharisees if they do much theology,

407
00:22:49,130 --> 00:22:51,810
S7: or if they think about what the Bible says. And

408
00:22:51,810 --> 00:22:54,210
S7: I think the only way that we can maintain the

409
00:22:54,250 --> 00:22:56,570
S7: middle of the road, and it's not just a balance,

410
00:22:56,570 --> 00:23:00,090
S7: it's not 50 over 50. It's 100% both ways, 100%

411
00:23:00,130 --> 00:23:03,410
S7: rooted in the Word of God, 100% open to and

412
00:23:03,410 --> 00:23:06,450
S7: experiencing the presence and power of the spirit. I would

413
00:23:06,450 --> 00:23:08,690
S7: say this. There is a text of Scripture. I've been

414
00:23:08,690 --> 00:23:12,930
S7: thinking about this in preparation for us talking today. It's

415
00:23:12,930 --> 00:23:16,770
S7: in second Thessalonians chapter one, verse 11. Listen to what

416
00:23:16,770 --> 00:23:20,530
S7: Paul says to this end. We always pray for you.

417
00:23:21,340 --> 00:23:24,060
S7: Stop right there. What does Paul always praying for them.

418
00:23:24,060 --> 00:23:25,820
S7: Which is what we should always be praying for one

419
00:23:25,820 --> 00:23:29,340
S7: another in ourselves. Here it is that our God may

420
00:23:29,340 --> 00:23:32,700
S7: make you worthy of his calling, and may fulfill every

421
00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:36,420
S7: resolve for good and every work of faith by his power.

422
00:23:37,100 --> 00:23:39,859
S7: So he's saying there. Look, it's good for you to

423
00:23:39,900 --> 00:23:43,660
S7: make resolutions for good and every work of faith. So

424
00:23:43,980 --> 00:23:48,500
S7: New Year's resolutions. February resolutions all throughout the year. Lord,

425
00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:51,220
S7: I resolve in the strength that you give me to

426
00:23:51,260 --> 00:23:54,740
S7: live this way, to avoid those situations that would cause

427
00:23:54,740 --> 00:23:57,340
S7: me to trip up and fall. But Lord, the only

428
00:23:57,340 --> 00:24:00,420
S7: way I can have that happen is if you do

429
00:24:00,420 --> 00:24:04,219
S7: it by your power. And of course, power in the

430
00:24:04,220 --> 00:24:07,620
S7: New Testament is almost always synonymous with the spirit. So

431
00:24:07,619 --> 00:24:10,300
S7: he's saying there are two parts to this. There is

432
00:24:10,300 --> 00:24:13,100
S7: our part we have to resolve. We have to to

433
00:24:13,300 --> 00:24:15,979
S7: dedicate ourselves to live in accordance with God's word, to

434
00:24:16,020 --> 00:24:19,139
S7: believe everything in it, to obey it. But if we

435
00:24:19,270 --> 00:24:22,869
S7: don't have his power energizing us, it'll just become legalism

436
00:24:23,230 --> 00:24:26,790
S7: and will become arrogant and pompous and judgmental and cynical

437
00:24:27,150 --> 00:24:29,790
S7: and think that somehow we can merit God's love and

438
00:24:29,790 --> 00:24:32,790
S7: his favor. But Paul is so very clear. He says

439
00:24:32,790 --> 00:24:37,310
S7: it's by his power. I've often told people that sometimes

440
00:24:37,310 --> 00:24:40,990
S7: I don't think we realize that everything that we know

441
00:24:40,990 --> 00:24:42,949
S7: and experience in the Christian life is due to the

442
00:24:42,990 --> 00:24:43,950
S7: work of the Holy Spirit.

443
00:24:43,990 --> 00:24:44,590
S1: Amen.

444
00:24:44,630 --> 00:24:46,949
S7: To whatever degree you and I understand the father and

445
00:24:46,950 --> 00:24:51,030
S7: the son, to whatever degree, we have power to resist temptation,

446
00:24:51,270 --> 00:24:54,270
S7: to whatever degree we understand what the Bible is saying.

447
00:24:54,510 --> 00:24:56,510
S7: All of this is due to the work of the

448
00:24:56,510 --> 00:24:58,510
S7: Holy Spirit in us. And that's what Paul is talking

449
00:24:58,510 --> 00:25:01,950
S7: about here. I'm praying that God may make you worthy

450
00:25:01,950 --> 00:25:04,510
S7: of his calling, and that he will fulfill every resolve

451
00:25:04,510 --> 00:25:06,990
S7: for good. So again, it's something that we have to

452
00:25:07,030 --> 00:25:09,710
S7: come to the Lord regularly, daily, moment by moment. Lord,

453
00:25:10,510 --> 00:25:12,230
S7: you know I want to live this way. You know

454
00:25:12,230 --> 00:25:15,830
S7: I don't want to yield to this temptation. So, Lord, please,

455
00:25:15,830 --> 00:25:18,430
S7: by your power, by the power of the spirit in me.

456
00:25:18,470 --> 00:25:21,350
S7: Give me the strength. Give me the prompting. Give me

457
00:25:21,350 --> 00:25:23,629
S7: the urging to do what you have called me to do.

458
00:25:23,950 --> 00:25:26,390
S7: And when we do that, God will be faithful and

459
00:25:26,390 --> 00:25:27,270
S7: he will do it.

460
00:25:27,310 --> 00:25:30,030
S3: Doctor Sam storms our guest right now. Okay, so let's

461
00:25:30,030 --> 00:25:32,750
S3: put this into kind of a role play. We asked

462
00:25:32,750 --> 00:25:36,070
S3: our listeners this week, what's the one thing that if

463
00:25:36,109 --> 00:25:38,550
S3: you could get this squared away in your life, you

464
00:25:38,550 --> 00:25:42,550
S3: would get victory in almost every other area. And for

465
00:25:42,550 --> 00:25:48,750
S3: many people it had issues around self control, discipline, procrastination, laziness.

466
00:25:48,750 --> 00:25:51,149
S3: That came in a lot. So let's take the person

467
00:25:51,150 --> 00:25:53,710
S3: who that is their struggle. They wake up in the morning,

468
00:25:53,710 --> 00:25:57,470
S3: they've got 12 hours, Lord willing, ahead of them. They

469
00:25:57,510 --> 00:26:00,150
S3: want to live in victory to the glory of God

470
00:26:00,150 --> 00:26:03,150
S3: with how they manage their day. They know they can't

471
00:26:03,150 --> 00:26:05,230
S3: do it without the power of the Holy Spirit. They're

472
00:26:05,230 --> 00:26:08,230
S3: with you by far. They put a foot to the floor.

473
00:26:08,430 --> 00:26:11,710
S3: Now what? How can I redeem time to the glory

474
00:26:11,710 --> 00:26:13,430
S3: of God by the power of the Holy Spirit?

475
00:26:13,430 --> 00:26:16,400
S7: Today we could focus in so many directions on this.

476
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,720
S7: But I would say one thing that I have discovered

477
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,000
S7: in my own life, and that I think is based

478
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,720
S7: in Scripture that most Christians would acknowledge we have to

479
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:29,000
S7: guard what we see and what we hear. So there

480
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,600
S7: are things that we know. Every one of us, every

481
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,960
S7: believer that's listening to this, the three of us included.

482
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,640
S7: We know that there are images. There are things we

483
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,200
S7: can see, whether it's what we read, what we watch

484
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,560
S7: on the internet, what we watch on television, the movies

485
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,280
S7: that we go to, how we look upon people we

486
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,040
S7: run into at the shopping mall. And it's what we

487
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,159
S7: see that the enemy takes advantage of that and begins

488
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,960
S7: to stir up the flesh. You know, in Galatians, what

489
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,320
S7: is it? Chapter 5 or 6? He says, the the

490
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,520
S7: flesh wages war against the spirit, and the spirit wages

491
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,080
S7: war against the flesh. And one of the ways that

492
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,720
S7: the flesh wages war against the spirit is by directing

493
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,840
S7: our eyes to things that will stir up our flesh

494
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,919
S7: and lead us to wander away from the principles and

495
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,290
S7: the power of the Lord. So I think that the

496
00:27:17,330 --> 00:27:19,969
S7: entry point, as it were, into our lives by the

497
00:27:19,970 --> 00:27:22,210
S7: enemy is through what we see. So I think what

498
00:27:22,210 --> 00:27:24,410
S7: you said, Ali, is good. When we wake up, there's

499
00:27:24,410 --> 00:27:28,810
S7: a good resolve that Paul's talking about in second Thessalonians 111. Lord,

500
00:27:28,810 --> 00:27:31,690
S7: I resolve by your power, not in my strength, because

501
00:27:31,690 --> 00:27:34,490
S7: if I do it myself, I'm going to fail miserably.

502
00:27:34,810 --> 00:27:39,050
S7: Help me. Give me the strength, by your power, to resolve,

503
00:27:39,050 --> 00:27:41,170
S7: to carry out a life that is worthy of the

504
00:27:41,170 --> 00:27:44,290
S7: calling that you've placed upon me. Because without your help,

505
00:27:44,290 --> 00:27:48,090
S7: I can't hope to do anything that is glorifying to you.

506
00:27:48,290 --> 00:27:51,770
S7: Paul ends up in verse 12 of that passage, so

507
00:27:51,770 --> 00:27:53,970
S7: that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified

508
00:27:53,970 --> 00:27:57,010
S7: in you and you in him. So the whole ultimate

509
00:27:57,010 --> 00:27:59,770
S7: goal of this isn't so. I can compare myself to

510
00:27:59,810 --> 00:28:01,810
S7: somebody else and say, look at the way the spirit

511
00:28:01,810 --> 00:28:03,649
S7: works in me. He's not doing it in you. I

512
00:28:03,650 --> 00:28:08,450
S7: must be better. No. Whatever degree of success we experience

513
00:28:08,450 --> 00:28:10,650
S7: in this, it is for the glory of the Lord

514
00:28:10,650 --> 00:28:11,650
S7: Jesus Christ.

515
00:28:12,260 --> 00:28:16,980
S1: Sam, I'm doing something now in my, uh, spiritual disciplines

516
00:28:16,980 --> 00:28:21,100
S1: that I would have even said ten years, uh, 20

517
00:28:21,100 --> 00:28:24,420
S1: years ago, I would have said, boy, that's dangerous. But

518
00:28:24,420 --> 00:28:26,740
S1: I want you to coach us up on my. We're

519
00:28:26,740 --> 00:28:29,619
S1: giving them scenarios here today. I'll give them scenarios. Yeah.

520
00:28:29,660 --> 00:28:32,740
S1: So I'm rising early, and I've been praying the last. Oh,

521
00:28:32,780 --> 00:28:34,939
S1: I'm getting choked up here. The last couple verses of

522
00:28:34,940 --> 00:28:37,500
S1: Psalm 139. Search me, know me, try me. See if

523
00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:39,620
S1: there be any hurtful way in me and lead me

524
00:28:39,620 --> 00:28:41,739
S1: in the way everlasting. And I'm asking the Spirit of

525
00:28:41,740 --> 00:28:43,820
S1: God to speak to me directly. Now, this is what

526
00:28:43,820 --> 00:28:47,300
S1: I'm hearing. I'm hearing God bring Scripture to mind about

527
00:28:47,300 --> 00:28:49,460
S1: how to treat my wife, how to treat my team,

528
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:52,460
S1: all the rest of the team here, how to treat

529
00:28:52,460 --> 00:28:55,100
S1: guests that come on. No. No kidding Sam, I am

530
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:58,900
S1: hearing downloadable prompts, not just in the morning. As I

531
00:28:58,900 --> 00:29:03,300
S1: get set off on that course, I'm hearing the voice

532
00:29:03,300 --> 00:29:07,540
S1: of God throughout the day. Now, some people might get

533
00:29:07,580 --> 00:29:10,460
S1: wigged out by that. Some people take that as a

534
00:29:10,460 --> 00:29:12,700
S1: a liberty to say, yeah, I'm hearing them too. And

535
00:29:12,700 --> 00:29:14,500
S1: you ought to hear what he's saying to me. How

536
00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:17,780
S1: do we know that we're hearing the voice of the

537
00:29:17,780 --> 00:29:20,340
S1: spirit prompting? And I do believe that's one of the

538
00:29:20,340 --> 00:29:25,180
S1: most overlooked attributes of this. Incredible. He's here right now.

539
00:29:25,180 --> 00:29:28,620
S1: He's alive. He's not an it. The Holy Spirit is here.

540
00:29:29,180 --> 00:29:33,260
S1: How do we keep that healthy, I guess, Sam?

541
00:29:33,580 --> 00:29:35,260
S7: Well, there are a number of ways we could go

542
00:29:35,260 --> 00:29:37,260
S7: on that, but let me, given our time, I'm just

543
00:29:37,260 --> 00:29:39,540
S7: going to mention one. The most basic one. How do

544
00:29:39,540 --> 00:29:42,620
S7: we know if it's the Spirit of God prompting us?

545
00:29:42,620 --> 00:29:44,900
S7: Or if it's our own flesh, our own ego, our

546
00:29:44,900 --> 00:29:48,500
S7: own fleshly desires, or something in the world around us?

547
00:29:48,540 --> 00:29:52,660
S7: And the answer is, does it align with Scripture? Can

548
00:29:52,660 --> 00:29:56,420
S7: I take what I'm hearing and find confirmation in Scripture?

549
00:29:56,420 --> 00:29:59,300
S7: This is the way that the God of the Bible

550
00:29:59,580 --> 00:30:02,219
S7: relates to his people. In other words, people ask me,

551
00:30:02,260 --> 00:30:04,020
S7: they say, Sam, how would I know to discern if

552
00:30:04,020 --> 00:30:06,660
S7: I get a word from somebody that they claim is prophetic?

553
00:30:06,940 --> 00:30:08,940
S7: How do I know if it's from God? And there

554
00:30:08,980 --> 00:30:12,350
S7: are numerous answers. One in particular. I say, do you

555
00:30:12,350 --> 00:30:13,990
S7: know the God of the Bible? Do you see how

556
00:30:13,990 --> 00:30:16,230
S7: he interacts with his people? Do you see how he

557
00:30:16,230 --> 00:30:19,190
S7: responds to those in the pages of Scripture? Is that

558
00:30:19,190 --> 00:30:21,190
S7: the kind of God that you think you're hearing from,

559
00:30:21,190 --> 00:30:24,630
S7: or is what you're hearing contrary to that? So I

560
00:30:24,630 --> 00:30:27,790
S7: think we have to be so deeply rooted in Scripture

561
00:30:27,790 --> 00:30:31,310
S7: that it just flows naturally from us. Just like breathing,

562
00:30:31,310 --> 00:30:33,990
S7: it doesn't even take any effort. We just are so

563
00:30:34,030 --> 00:30:36,910
S7: immersed in the word that when we hear the voice

564
00:30:36,910 --> 00:30:38,830
S7: of the spirit, we know that's the Spirit of God.

565
00:30:38,830 --> 00:30:41,750
S7: That's precisely the sort of thing that the God of

566
00:30:41,750 --> 00:30:44,230
S7: the Bible would prompt me to do, or to say,

567
00:30:44,270 --> 00:30:45,630
S7: or how I should respond.

568
00:30:45,790 --> 00:30:49,870
S1: One more quick thought because I am recovering from the

569
00:30:49,870 --> 00:30:52,070
S1: Holy Spirit being my lost guide. And there's a lot

570
00:30:52,070 --> 00:30:54,750
S1: of people, many thousands listening right now that are in

571
00:30:54,790 --> 00:30:59,950
S1: recovery from that as well. This is not something new.

572
00:30:59,990 --> 00:31:04,390
S1: A lot of good Bible believing people have have used

573
00:31:04,390 --> 00:31:07,350
S1: words like, yeah, I felt kind of nudged or prompted.

574
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,880
S1: It seems to me that we just need to tune

575
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,920
S1: our ear toward the spirit speaking. And for me, Sam,

576
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,760
S1: it's true. When I'm getting a prompting, it's like, love

577
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,160
S1: your wife as Christ loved the church. This is some

578
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,040
S1: adjustments you need. I mean, it's just it's a down

579
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,560
S1: flow of the Word of God. Quick comment on those

580
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,000
S1: that are recovering what was lost with regard to the

581
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,400
S1: Holy Spirit's leadership.

582
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,120
S7: I think that, generally speaking, what I have discovered is

583
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,200
S7: that the failure of Christians to embrace the work of

584
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,360
S7: the spirit in their hearts, the prompting, the leading. You know,

585
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,040
S7: Paul in Galatians talks about walking in step with the spirit.

586
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,600
S7: I think the reason why they shy away from that

587
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,720
S7: and they're so tentative is because they've seen it so abused,

588
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,000
S7: they've seen people in their own church, in their own lives,

589
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,760
S7: maybe on the internet or whatever, saying, well, God told me,

590
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,960
S7: the spirit told me this or that. And it's very manipulative.

591
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,520
S7: It's very self-serving. It's designed to raise more money for

592
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,760
S7: their ministry or whatever to to, you know, expand their

593
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,530
S7: platform in the Christian world.

594
00:32:07,530 --> 00:32:08,450
S1: And that happens.

595
00:32:08,490 --> 00:32:11,890
S7: Oh it's tragic. It's sad, but we have to push

596
00:32:11,890 --> 00:32:14,010
S7: back against that and say, I'm not going to let.

597
00:32:14,050 --> 00:32:17,090
S7: I'm not going to justify disobeying Scripture because somebody else

598
00:32:17,090 --> 00:32:19,890
S7: has done it badly. And, you know, sometimes I talk

599
00:32:19,930 --> 00:32:23,010
S7: about the 11th commandment of evangelicalism. Thou shalt not do

600
00:32:23,050 --> 00:32:25,530
S7: at all what others do badly. And so we see

601
00:32:25,570 --> 00:32:29,209
S7: others badly mistreat the spirit. And we think, well, I

602
00:32:29,210 --> 00:32:30,890
S7: guess that means I can't do it at all. I

603
00:32:30,890 --> 00:32:32,970
S7: have to ignore the work of the spirit of me,

604
00:32:32,970 --> 00:32:36,490
S7: because I've seen the devastation that has been caused by

605
00:32:36,490 --> 00:32:38,570
S7: these people who claim the spirit told them to do

606
00:32:38,570 --> 00:32:42,450
S7: this or that. So I think it's fear, and honestly,

607
00:32:42,450 --> 00:32:46,770
S7: it's just the fear of being associated with some goofy people.

608
00:32:46,810 --> 00:32:49,370
S7: It's the fear of losing control, the fear of not

609
00:32:49,370 --> 00:32:52,330
S7: being accepted by our peers. And we have to. You

610
00:32:52,370 --> 00:32:55,610
S7: got to remember Second Timothy one God did not give

611
00:32:55,610 --> 00:32:58,170
S7: us a spirit of fear, but one of power and

612
00:32:58,170 --> 00:32:59,570
S7: love and self control.

613
00:32:59,930 --> 00:33:02,650
S3: Doctor Sam storms our guest right now, and I want

614
00:33:02,650 --> 00:33:04,970
S3: to point you to his website. A ton of great

615
00:33:05,010 --> 00:33:08,850
S3: resources there. He's got I mean, I've been cruising around

616
00:33:08,850 --> 00:33:12,650
S3: looking at blogs this morning. If you want this resource,

617
00:33:12,690 --> 00:33:18,370
S3: just text storm to 800 555 7898. Our guest, Doctor

618

S3: Sam Storms just text storm to 800 555 7898. We'll

619
00:33:24,250 --> 00:33:25,729
S3: get you to his website for more.

620
00:33:26,690 --> 00:33:30,810
S5: Romans eight brought her to Jesus while broadcasting traffic overnight.

621
00:33:31,010 --> 00:33:34,770
S5: Super Dai is in the crew. It's Carol and crew

622
00:33:34,810 --> 00:33:36,050
S5: on Moody Radio.

623
00:33:36,210 --> 00:33:41,290
S1: Behind every freedom story is the power of God. Full stop. Hey,

624
00:33:41,290 --> 00:33:43,610
S1: this is Carl and crew helping you take your next

625
00:33:43,610 --> 00:33:47,250
S1: step with Jesus. That's. That's beyond question, isn't it, Ali?

626
00:33:47,290 --> 00:33:49,930
S3: Oh, yeah. I mean, it's not our own power. Any

627
00:33:50,090 --> 00:33:52,170
S3: any sort of victory that we feel like we get

628
00:33:52,170 --> 00:33:55,290
S3: in our own strength is very short lived. It doesn't last.

629
00:33:56,090 --> 00:33:58,330
S1: So some of you have some stories and we need

630
00:33:58,330 --> 00:34:01,010
S1: some testimonies. So we're asking you to tee it up

00:34:05,220 --> 00:34:07,700
S1: asking you to call in with your response.

633
00:34:07,740 --> 00:34:11,860
S3: What's that one thing that you thought you would never

634
00:34:12,140 --> 00:34:18,380
S3: get victory over? But God did it. 805 55 7898.

S3: Taking your calls now on this freedom Friday 805 55 7898.

636
00:34:24,820 --> 00:34:27,900
S5: This is Carl and crew on Moody Radio.

S1: Taking your calls this morning on this Freedom Friday. Whom

S1: the son sets free is free indeed. And we've got

639
00:34:35,060 --> 00:34:36,220
S1: a question for you today.

640
00:34:36,260 --> 00:34:38,939
S3: What's the one thing that you thought you'd never get

641
00:34:38,940 --> 00:34:44,459
S3: victory over? But God did it. 855 five. 78. 98.

642
00:34:44,700 --> 00:34:47,620
S1: Jennifer, first time caller in Florida. What do you say, Jen?

643
00:34:49,300 --> 00:34:55,060
S8: Hey, so I am 52 and wanting to be married

644
00:34:55,060 --> 00:34:57,739
S8: since I have been in my early teens, but that

645
00:34:57,739 --> 00:35:00,259
S8: wasn't the path that the Lord had for me. So

646
00:35:00,300 --> 00:35:03,950
S8: we went through this really long struggle, but through it

647
00:35:03,950 --> 00:35:08,550
S8: found complete contentment in Jesus Christ, knowing that he fulfills

648
00:35:08,550 --> 00:35:10,990
S8: my every desire and need.

649
00:35:11,710 --> 00:35:16,430
S1: Jennifer, you said the operative word. We went through this.

650
00:35:16,430 --> 00:35:19,070
S1: I got a hunch that's you and God, right, sister?

651
00:35:20,030 --> 00:35:22,790
S8: Oh, you know it. You know it, Karl.

652
00:35:23,150 --> 00:35:26,109
S1: Oh, I'm so proud of you. That is beautiful. Let

653
00:35:26,110 --> 00:35:28,910
S1: me ask you a question. Are you still open to.

654
00:35:28,950 --> 00:35:30,710
S1: I don't have a guy in Florida to fix you

655
00:35:30,710 --> 00:35:32,750
S1: up with right now, but are you still open to.

656
00:35:33,190 --> 00:35:36,350
S1: Are you still open to finding your Prince Charming, or

657
00:35:36,510 --> 00:35:38,670
S1: is God giving you contentment to the point where you

658
00:35:38,670 --> 00:35:40,790
S1: almost feel like it's a gift of singleness?

659
00:35:41,950 --> 00:35:44,270
S8: Well, I feel like I feel like this is what

660
00:35:44,270 --> 00:35:46,470
S8: I will say, and I hope that every young woman

661
00:35:46,469 --> 00:35:49,270
S8: is listening to this. And young man, we're called to

662
00:35:49,270 --> 00:35:53,549
S8: singleness until God provides someone in our life. So I

663
00:35:53,550 --> 00:35:57,830
S8: would say my focus is 100% on Jesus Christ. And

664
00:35:57,830 --> 00:36:00,719
S8: if he brought somebody in. Our ministry would have to

665
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,960
S8: be better together than it would be separately.

666
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:10,120
S1: Okay. Okay. Jen, come to a singles conference with me

667
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,160
S1: in Chicago or something. Okay. Uh, let me let me

668
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,080
S1: tell you something. Let me tell you something, Jen. Uh,

669
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,600
S1: let me tell you something. This is really important, and

670
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,080
S1: I want you, everyone in the boom crew to listen

671
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,759
S1: to me. I look at a passage like Hebrews 12

672
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:30,520
S1: where we're called to, as Jesus fix our eyes on Jesus,

673
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,440
S1: the author and perfecter of our faith, run this race.

674
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,239
S1: Here's what a lot of single people do. And this

675
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:42,799
S1: is this is danger zone. We stop running with Jesus

676
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,400
S1: and our eyes focused on the Lord, and we begin

677
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:49,000
S1: looking around for where is Mr. Wonderful? I'll tell you

678
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,040
S1: where Mr. Wonderful or Mrs. Wonderful is. I'll tell you

679
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:58,560
S1: where they're at. They're running toward the cross. They're fixing

680
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,120
S1: their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith.

681
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,160
S1: And here's what's crazy. As, as as these people are

682
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,520
S1: striding along, boom, boom, boom. They're running this race. They

683
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:13,200
S1: look up and they go, Shazam! Lookie here. I got

684
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:17,760
S1: look at this. And you don't break stride in your

685
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:22,719
S1: run with Jesus. You just grab hands and you go. Yeah.

686
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:27,120
S1: You stop by, uh, a pastor and a couple hundred friends,

687
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,040
S1: and they cheer for you and all that, but you're

688
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,920
S1: running with Jesus, so I'm proud of you, Jen. That's

689
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:36,720
S1: a testimony, sister. Awesome word. These are stories of freedom.

690
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,879
S3: That's what we do on Freedom Friday. That's what you do,

691
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,360
S3: I should say. Here's the question. What's the one thing

692
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,760
S3: in your life that you thought you'd never get victory over?

693
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:53,319
S3: But God did it. 805, 55 7898 (800) 555-7898. Let's go

694
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,890
S3: to Joshua calling in this morning from Chicago. Joshua, what's

695
00:37:56,890 --> 00:37:58,850
S3: the thing you thought you'd never get victory over?

696
00:38:00,489 --> 00:38:05,730
S9: Um, my sexual immorality and lust. Um, I think about

697
00:38:06,050 --> 00:38:08,410
S9: me and my wife. Been together for 11 years. Married

698
00:38:08,410 --> 00:38:10,609
S9: for four. And early on in our relationship, as we

699
00:38:10,610 --> 00:38:13,650
S9: were dating, I was struggling heavily with sexual immorality, whether

700
00:38:13,650 --> 00:38:16,569
S9: it was physically with other women or through porn or masturbation.

701
00:38:16,610 --> 00:38:19,850
S9: And I think about two years ago, almost three years ago,

702
00:38:19,850 --> 00:38:21,969
S9: I confessed to my wife all of the things that

703
00:38:21,969 --> 00:38:24,609
S9: I was committing behind her back that she never knew of.

704
00:38:24,650 --> 00:38:27,529
S9: And from that day to today, I have been set

705
00:38:27,530 --> 00:38:31,330
S9: free from porn and masturbation and also sexual immorality with

706
00:38:31,330 --> 00:38:34,410
S9: other women. And it reminded me of the scripture that says,

707
00:38:34,410 --> 00:38:36,730
S9: confess your faults to one another. One another, that you

708
00:38:36,730 --> 00:38:38,930
S9: may be healed. So the only thing I know that

709
00:38:38,930 --> 00:38:41,290
S9: scripture now I have experienced the truth and the power

710
00:38:41,290 --> 00:38:43,089
S9: in that scripture, and I'm just thankful for it.

711
00:38:43,570 --> 00:38:47,330
S1: Joshua, you're a man's man, bro. You I would, I

712
00:38:47,330 --> 00:38:50,490
S1: would I would walk a lot of miles with you, brother.

713
00:38:50,489 --> 00:38:52,210
S1: And I want to thank you so much from the

714
00:38:52,210 --> 00:38:55,379
S1: bottom of my heart for calling in. That's some raw language.

715
00:38:55,700 --> 00:38:57,460
S1: That's some real stuff. Right, Ellie?

716
00:38:57,660 --> 00:39:00,380
S3: Absolutely. Thank you for calling in and sharing your story

717
00:39:00,380 --> 00:39:00,980
S3: this morning.

718
00:39:01,140 --> 00:39:03,660
S1: I do want to spike something here. And it's funny

719
00:39:03,660 --> 00:39:06,500
S1: that we're on this. And he mentioned that I think

720
00:39:06,540 --> 00:39:12,220
S1: confession of sin is a lost discipline. Agreement with God

721
00:39:12,219 --> 00:39:16,900
S1: and agreement with others. Those that you've sinned against brings

722
00:39:16,900 --> 00:39:21,500
S1: this stuff into the light. And what it does is

723
00:39:21,500 --> 00:39:26,180
S1: it has a a purifying effect. You bring it before God,

724
00:39:26,180 --> 00:39:29,660
S1: you bring it before others, you have others shoulder this

725
00:39:29,660 --> 00:39:35,299
S1: with you and it breaks Satan's back. It it debilitates

726
00:39:35,300 --> 00:39:38,940
S1: him from getting a stronghold in your life. It takes

727
00:39:38,940 --> 00:39:42,580
S1: that stronghold away, that toehold that you've given him and

728
00:39:42,580 --> 00:39:46,060
S1: it takes it away. And Joshua's just slam dunk in that.

729
00:39:46,060 --> 00:39:48,339
S1: Any thoughts on this one guys from Joshua?

730
00:39:48,420 --> 00:39:51,420
S2: Yeah I think what you're talking about is is really

731
00:39:51,670 --> 00:39:56,790
S2: Wise about confession, because sometimes we we can think of

732
00:39:56,790 --> 00:40:00,549
S2: confession to God as easier than confession to other people,

733
00:40:00,590 --> 00:40:04,270
S2: because it's not like we're always hearing this audible response

734
00:40:04,270 --> 00:40:08,029
S2: or immediate reaction like we are from another person sitting

735
00:40:08,030 --> 00:40:09,950
S2: in the room with us. So we kind of say, oh,

736
00:40:09,989 --> 00:40:11,989
S2: I confess it to God. You know, I threw it

737
00:40:11,989 --> 00:40:14,590
S2: up out there, but God has put brothers and sisters

738
00:40:14,590 --> 00:40:17,310
S2: in Christ in our life to walk through things with us.

739
00:40:17,310 --> 00:40:21,589
S2: And the Bible says, like, uh, Joshua quoted there from James,

740
00:40:21,590 --> 00:40:24,950
S2: that we confess to others and become healed. Jesus had

741
00:40:24,950 --> 00:40:26,310
S2: that as a part of the plan.

742
00:40:26,510 --> 00:40:29,230
S1: Yeah, it's a part of the plan. It's really interesting.

743
00:40:29,270 --> 00:40:31,029
S1: A lot of times, the way we deal with our sin,

744
00:40:31,030 --> 00:40:34,590
S1: we think we're confessing what we're just admitting. Yes. And

745
00:40:35,030 --> 00:40:39,069
S1: admission is one thing. Confession is coming into agreement. And

746
00:40:39,070 --> 00:40:42,830
S1: it also possesses what we see in David. It's a definitive.

747
00:40:43,110 --> 00:40:46,549
S1: This is what I'm up to. This is how I'm

748
00:40:46,550 --> 00:40:48,910
S1: missing the mark. Just coming face to face with God.

749
00:40:49,110 --> 00:40:53,910
S1: This is what's going on. No whitewashing it, no kind

750
00:40:53,910 --> 00:40:57,190
S1: of trying to justify it. It's just like, boom, here

751
00:40:57,190 --> 00:41:02,469
S1: it is. And then getting some other people around you. Wow. So, Joshua,

752
00:41:03,030 --> 00:41:07,030
S1: brother boom, you are in the boom crew. I'd walk em.

753
00:41:07,430 --> 00:41:09,950
S1: I'd walk a long way with you, my friends. Let's

754
00:41:09,950 --> 00:41:11,630
S1: go back. The phone lines. Get at least one more

755
00:41:11,630 --> 00:41:11,950
S1: in here.

756
00:41:11,989 --> 00:41:15,270
S3: Ally Stephanie from Vermilion, Ohio. What is your story? What's

757
00:41:15,270 --> 00:41:17,990
S3: that one thing that you thought you'd never get victory over?

758
00:41:19,310 --> 00:41:23,029
S10: That one thing. It was the enemy's lie that I

759
00:41:23,030 --> 00:41:24,230
S10: was unloved.

760
00:41:25,150 --> 00:41:28,549
S1: Wow. What was the breakthrough for you, Stephanie?

761
00:41:29,710 --> 00:41:34,510
S10: Um. When my whole world was falling to pieces and

762
00:41:34,510 --> 00:41:38,590
S10: I was sitting in my counselor's office, and I finally

763
00:41:38,630 --> 00:41:42,670
S10: hit the root problem, and I said, I. I don't

764
00:41:42,670 --> 00:41:45,549
S10: think I'll ever be loved. I don't know what it's

765
00:41:45,550 --> 00:41:50,120
S10: like to be fully known and loved and why can't

766
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:54,600
S10: I be normal? And when I left that office, I

767
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:59,160
S10: felt the Holy Spirit just baptize me and heal me.

768
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:03,480
S10: And like. Like Cinderella. And the sun was so bright

769
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,680
S10: and the promises just came flooding in. Everything that I

770
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:12,160
S10: had ever read that didn't make sense. Just started blossoming

771
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:13,840
S10: the river of life.

772
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:14,319
S11: Wow.

773
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,839
S1: That's beautiful Steph, thank you for calling in. Boom, sister.

774
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,439
S1: I'm going to try to get in one more here.

775
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,400
S1: Frank just got a quick second first time caller from Chicago.

776
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:23,400
S1: What do you say, Frank?

777
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,000
S12: Yes. Praise God. Good morning. Yes, I was a heroin

778
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:33,840
S12: addict for almost 12 years, and, uh, I was really lost,

779
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,640
S12: you know? And, uh, God delivered me from that. I

780
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,160
S12: praise God for that. And.

781
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:39,680
S1: Amen.

782
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,560
S12: I'm still I still struggle with certain things, but praise

783
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,480
S12: God that I'm where I'm at right now.

784
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,879
S1: Yeah, Frank, thank you for that, man. And I want

785
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,770
S1: to tell you, I love you, brother. And I want

786
00:42:48,770 --> 00:42:51,690
S1: you to look at the things that you're still battling

787
00:42:51,690 --> 00:42:54,009
S1: with in light of God's ability to break you free

788
00:42:54,010 --> 00:42:58,609
S1: from that massive dopamine hit called heroin. And I want

789
00:42:58,610 --> 00:43:02,010
S1: to encourage you, brother, just lean into the Lord in

790
00:43:02,050 --> 00:43:05,130
S1: that place that God saved you was on your knees

791
00:43:05,130 --> 00:43:08,250
S1: before heroin and that place that God's going to continue

792
00:43:08,250 --> 00:43:11,250
S1: to grow you is on your knees, Frank. And I

793
00:43:11,250 --> 00:43:14,730
S1: love you, buddy. And it's God's doing a good work

794
00:43:14,730 --> 00:43:16,890
S1: in you. These are so heartwarming, ally.

795
00:43:16,930 --> 00:43:19,609
S3: Fantastic stories this morning. We want to make sure you

796
00:43:19,610 --> 00:43:21,770
S3: know how to hear them again. Text show to get

00:43:21,770 --> 00:43:27,290
S3: the show cast. Text show to 800 555 7898. Show

798
00:43:27,330 --> 00:43:30,129
S3: 800 555 7898.

799
00:43:30,489 --> 00:43:33,529
S5: He's a sports fanatic with a stat for anything you

800
00:43:33,530 --> 00:43:37,810
S5: can think of. Young Thunder is in the crew. It's

801
00:43:37,810 --> 00:43:40,009
S5: curling crew on Moody Radio.

802
00:43:40,530 --> 00:43:43,609
S1: I think Ali's chomping at the bit to bust me

803
00:43:43,610 --> 00:43:45,049
S1: out on something here.

804
00:43:45,580 --> 00:43:50,620
S3: Well, I heard that one of your household pets contacted

805
00:43:50,620 --> 00:43:52,100
S3: one of our listeners yesterday.

806
00:43:52,140 --> 00:43:53,940
S13: Yes, it did happen.

807
00:43:54,460 --> 00:43:59,860
S1: So I I'm at home and I open up, um,

808
00:44:00,260 --> 00:44:03,500
S1: the I, I open up, try to see if there's

809
00:44:03,500 --> 00:44:06,379
S1: anyone we need to follow up with after the show. Uh,

810
00:44:06,420 --> 00:44:09,700
S1: the text line. And so I'm working away, so I've

811
00:44:09,700 --> 00:44:12,859
S1: got a couple different keyboards here. I'm working away on

812
00:44:12,860 --> 00:44:16,739
S1: my laptop, and I look over and, oh, boy, our

813
00:44:16,739 --> 00:44:19,739
S1: rescue cat brownie had done a big leap to the

814
00:44:19,739 --> 00:44:23,140
S1: top of my desk, and I'm noticing she's got her

815
00:44:23,140 --> 00:44:28,820
S1: foot on the keyboard and I'm like. And I'm reaching

816
00:44:28,820 --> 00:44:31,060
S1: out to her. But not before she could beat out

817
00:44:31,060 --> 00:44:35,820
S1: with her feet a forward slash in umpteen gazillion periods,

818
00:44:36,140 --> 00:44:39,820
S1: and she succeeded in hitting the return key.

819
00:44:40,100 --> 00:44:43,900
S3: I found that text. So our texts were were We're

820
00:44:43,900 --> 00:44:46,739
S3: texting not from a phone, but from a website that

821
00:44:46,739 --> 00:44:51,379
S3: contains our powers, our text messages. So I found it.

822
00:44:51,380 --> 00:44:57,060
S3: And yes, indeed, it was successfully sent yesterday. So if

823
00:44:57,100 --> 00:44:59,620
S3: you were the one who got a text that had

824
00:44:59,620 --> 00:45:03,700
S3: nothing but a forward slash and a whole lot of

825
00:45:03,700 --> 00:45:07,700
S3: dot dot dot dot dot dot dot. That was Carl's cat.

826
00:45:07,780 --> 00:45:09,860
S3: You're welcome. That's from Ronnie.

827
00:45:10,060 --> 00:45:11,899
S1: Oh my goodness. I don't.

828
00:45:11,900 --> 00:45:13,300
S2: Know. I see it too I found it.

829
00:45:14,860 --> 00:45:15,700
S3: I gotta go in here.

830
00:45:15,820 --> 00:45:16,660
S1: I should probably.

831
00:45:16,700 --> 00:45:19,500
S3: We probably owe that person a Carl and crew for

832
00:45:19,500 --> 00:45:20,100
S3: their trouble.

833
00:45:20,140 --> 00:45:22,859
S1: Could someone. Yeah. We need to tell him that we'll

834
00:45:22,860 --> 00:45:24,980
S1: send him a Carl prize pack. Because they were probably

835
00:45:24,980 --> 00:45:26,700
S1: wondering what in the world.

836
00:45:26,739 --> 00:45:28,859
S3: They probably have it saved in their phone, either as

837
00:45:28,900 --> 00:45:31,819
S3: Moody Radio or Carl and crew. So they're just chilling,

838
00:45:31,860 --> 00:45:33,899
S3: going about their business, maybe at work, and they get

839
00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:36,580
S3: a text from Moody Radio contacting me.

840
00:45:36,820 --> 00:45:40,739
S2: And why are they contacting me then?

841
00:45:40,780 --> 00:45:42,989
S3: What is this? What does this mean? Is this some

842
00:45:42,989 --> 00:45:45,509
S3: sort of Morse code? Is there a new word? It's

843
00:45:45,510 --> 00:45:46,270
S3: a new keyword.

844
00:45:47,670 --> 00:45:51,149
S1: Yeah, man. It's, um. It's funny, isn't it? What these

845
00:45:51,150 --> 00:45:53,469
S1: critters can do. And the fact that she was able

846
00:45:53,469 --> 00:45:56,710
S1: to pull off hitting the return key is really something.

847
00:45:56,750 --> 00:45:57,830
S2: This advanced cat.

848
00:45:58,030 --> 00:46:00,950
S3: Yeah. Do. Uh, I am not a pet owner, but

849
00:46:00,950 --> 00:46:03,469
S3: I know Jonathan and Diana. You guys have been over

850
00:46:03,469 --> 00:46:08,030
S3: the years. Have your pets done anything unusual or wreaked

851
00:46:08,070 --> 00:46:09,350
S3: havoc in some way?

852
00:46:09,550 --> 00:46:13,230
S2: Uh, wreaked havoc, but not in any, like, crazy, unusual

853
00:46:13,230 --> 00:46:15,390
S2: way where they're, like, sending texts on accident.

854
00:46:15,670 --> 00:46:18,390
S1: Uh, just your garden variety pooping on the carpet.

855
00:46:18,430 --> 00:46:19,830
S2: Yeah, all that kind of stuff.

856
00:46:19,870 --> 00:46:22,950
S3: Well, you're. Doesn't your dog like to be. Isn't your

857
00:46:22,950 --> 00:46:24,070
S3: dog defiant sometimes?

858
00:46:24,070 --> 00:46:26,189
S2: Yes. He's stubborn as all. Get out. I've had him

859
00:46:26,190 --> 00:46:28,710
S2: for five years and he his personality has not changed

860
00:46:28,710 --> 00:46:30,110
S2: one bit. Some of his.

861
00:46:30,750 --> 00:46:31,350
S3: Wow.

862
00:46:31,670 --> 00:46:32,510
S4: Bring it down.

863
00:46:32,510 --> 00:46:35,069
S2: Some of his behaviors have changed. He doesn't go to

864
00:46:35,110 --> 00:46:37,110
S2: the bathroom in the house. But when he was a puppy,

865
00:46:37,150 --> 00:46:40,189
S2: my my favorite story is when he was a puppy.

866
00:46:40,230 --> 00:46:43,640
S2: We didn't let him on the furniture. And so that

867
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,440
S2: we had had him for a couple of days. And

868
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,480
S2: he so he was a couple months old and he

869
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,759
S2: hopped up on our Ottoman. And my wife and I

870
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,279
S2: are sitting on the couch, and his name's Koda. I said,

871
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:57,640
S2: Koda down. Get off! And he looked at me. He

872
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,240
S2: barked once, and then he squatted and peed on the Ottoman.

873
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:10,200
S2: And that is the personality that we've been dealing with

874
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,000
S2: for the next five years.

875
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,279
S3: Oh, but you love that little guy.

876
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,920
S2: I love him. It's funny because he's he's crazy in

877
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,080
S2: the day, but then at nighttime, he just calms down

878
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,359
S2: and gets all cuddly and you're like, oh, I do

879
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,160
S2: love you. Yeah, I do love you.

880
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,400
S1: You terrible too. Forever.

881
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:27,480
S2: Yes, absolutely.

882
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,760
S14: That's good, that's good. Well, my kids were always nosy.

883
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,319
S14: So remember, especially Covid, everything was done online, all the

884
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,359
S14: zoom meetings. So you would always see an animal in

885
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,680
S14: my frame. Always either the cat or the dog strolling

886
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:39,890
S14: through the frame.

887
00:47:39,930 --> 00:47:41,690
S2: Always doing something in the background.

888
00:47:41,730 --> 00:47:41,969
S14: Oh, yeah.

889
00:47:42,010 --> 00:47:43,489
S3: Who's she talking to today?

890
00:47:43,530 --> 00:47:45,930
S14: Hi. How are you? The one dog that.

891
00:47:45,930 --> 00:47:46,009
S1: I.

892
00:47:46,010 --> 00:47:48,649
S14: Had with, like, her nose into the camera. Oh.

893
00:47:48,930 --> 00:47:54,090
S1: So fun on this Freedom Friday. We really want to talk,

894
00:47:54,090 --> 00:47:56,290
S1: and we've been nailing this all week. It's got to

895
00:47:56,290 --> 00:47:59,610
S1: be God's power. And one of the missing components here

896
00:47:59,610 --> 00:48:02,890
S1: oftentimes is the power of the Holy Spirit. Um, I

897
00:48:02,890 --> 00:48:04,689
S1: do want to do a banner ad, though for a

898
00:48:04,690 --> 00:48:09,210
S1: week from tomorrow, January 17th. Man, I am hosting a webinar.

899
00:48:09,570 --> 00:48:11,930
S1: Webinar means you get to come in, not be seen

900
00:48:11,930 --> 00:48:16,410
S1: by anyone. And I've got a lot of, um, really

901
00:48:16,410 --> 00:48:19,170
S1: great biblical content that I believe is going to help

902
00:48:19,170 --> 00:48:23,170
S1: you break free from that treadmill of self-help and really

903
00:48:23,170 --> 00:48:26,730
S1: tap God's power to overcome those things in your life

904
00:48:26,730 --> 00:48:29,450
S1: that feel like, man, will I ever get victory over them?

918
00:49:17,650 --> 00:49:20,490
S1: So my little buddy blaze, his new little husky pup

919
00:49:20,489 --> 00:49:23,930
S1: that I got about five. Goodness sakes. Five weeks ago,

920
00:49:24,050 --> 00:49:28,530
S1: I went to Alaska. Went to the went to my friend.

921
00:49:29,250 --> 00:49:33,290
S1: Oh my goodness. Boy is he he's got some amazing dogs.

922
00:49:33,290 --> 00:49:37,140
S1: So this puppy comes from two dogs that are Golden

923
00:49:37,140 --> 00:49:40,780
S1: Harness Award winners. They actually were in record setting teams

924
00:49:40,780 --> 00:49:43,540
S1: that went from Anchorage to Nome on the Iditarod at

925
00:49:43,540 --> 00:49:47,060
S1: a record pace. It's a result of a breeding program

926
00:49:47,060 --> 00:49:52,259
S1: for just exceptional long distance speed and strength athletes. These

927
00:49:52,260 --> 00:49:56,180
S1: little huskies that run over a thousand miles are amazing,

928
00:49:56,180 --> 00:49:58,740
S1: and he's quite a guy. I love him to bits.

929
00:49:58,900 --> 00:50:01,259
S1: He's so cute. And yeah, when I go to get

930
00:50:01,260 --> 00:50:05,580
S1: him now in the mornings, um, he's got teenager ville

931
00:50:05,620 --> 00:50:08,660
S1: going right now. He looks at me like, dude, I

932
00:50:09,620 --> 00:50:12,100
S1: got to go to the bathroom, but I am so sleepy,

933
00:50:12,180 --> 00:50:12,540
S1: I'm just.

934
00:50:12,540 --> 00:50:12,820
S3: Gonna.

935
00:50:12,820 --> 00:50:13,580
S1: Lay right here.

936
00:50:13,660 --> 00:50:15,940
S2: I love when they're puppies and they just don't want

937
00:50:15,940 --> 00:50:17,260
S2: to go outside in the morning.

938
00:50:17,300 --> 00:50:19,739
S1: They're like, I ain't going, dude, would you just rub

939
00:50:19,739 --> 00:50:23,100
S1: my tummy here and we'll be all right? And I'm like, no,

940
00:50:23,100 --> 00:50:26,500
S1: but we gotta roll. We gotta get rolling here. And, uh,

941
00:50:26,540 --> 00:50:30,259
S1: it's it's he's he's quite a guy, I'll tell you. Um,

942
00:50:30,580 --> 00:50:33,259
S1: but so there's two things that are going on with him.

943
00:50:33,260 --> 00:50:36,069
S1: One is there's certain times when I can't get him

944
00:50:36,070 --> 00:50:39,150
S1: out of his kennel. Just can't get him out. Sometimes

945
00:50:39,150 --> 00:50:41,430
S1: I have to drag him like, come on, bud. And

946
00:50:41,430 --> 00:50:43,870
S1: then about halfway out, he's like, I guess I can't

947
00:50:43,870 --> 00:50:47,830
S1: win this one. So I'll walk with him. But then

948
00:50:47,830 --> 00:50:51,950
S1: there's other times when it's feeding time and he wants something.

949
00:50:52,830 --> 00:50:56,029
S1: And when I open up that gate, he is headbutting

950
00:50:56,030 --> 00:51:00,270
S1: that sucker. And he. It's like jailbreak. And I mean,

951
00:51:00,270 --> 00:51:03,950
S1: he about knocks me over trying to get at that grub.

952
00:51:04,030 --> 00:51:06,230
S1: And if I have my hand in the way. Look

953
00:51:06,270 --> 00:51:10,950
S1: out man, he's coming for me. And that is not

954
00:51:10,950 --> 00:51:15,790
S1: a stretch at all. We're a lot like a blaze

955
00:51:16,390 --> 00:51:20,669
S1: where sometimes it's like, God, just let me sleep. Let

956
00:51:20,670 --> 00:51:21,830
S1: me just crash.

957
00:51:21,870 --> 00:51:22,270
S2: Yeah.

958
00:51:22,790 --> 00:51:25,870
S1: Yeah. I just I just don't right now. I don't

959
00:51:25,870 --> 00:51:28,430
S1: want to. God and God's like. Come on, let's go.

960
00:51:28,630 --> 00:51:32,069
S1: And then there's other times it's like, give me a

961
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:36,080
S1: jailbreak here. I want out of here. And that is

962
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:40,000
S1: a beautiful metaphor for spiritual freedom. And there's some of

963
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,000
S1: you that feel like, man, I want to jailbreak. I

964
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,879
S1: want to be the blaze. I want to I want

965
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:48,319
S1: to bust loose from something in my life that's been

966
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,160
S1: holding me back for far too long. And I want

967
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,560
S1: to assure you, God wants to give you that victory.

968
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,520
S1: We've been announcing this this week, and we've got a
