"Who led him to faith. Now, have you written about that about any of the details of that? Well, colonel Byrd wrote a book called the loneliest man in the world about Rudolph Hess. And that became an international bestseller for 8 years. It was one of the top selling books in the world. I think it's been reprinted and rereleased under the title of prisoner number 7 that was Rudolph Hess's number at the spandau prison. But yeah, he dug birds spent his entire time as commandant of that prison, trying to understand what had happened to Germany. How did it happen? How did these brilliant learned people get taken over by such evil such darkness? And I think he gained many insights, which he wrote about in that book about Rudolf Hess, and Burton and I used to get together often discuss these literally for days. I would go to Berlin, see in my take a lot of our youth over and he would take them on tours and all, but then he would take me in the afternoons to some famous Nazis house who was still alive and I'd get to meet him myself. And discuss these things, but Bernard both had a passion to understand that because the lord had shown us both that the same evil that covered Germany was going to try to take over our country. They would not come as Nazis. It would come in a whole different form, but it was the same spirit. The intolerance, the all of this stuff we're seeing, trying to take us over right now. That's I wasn't planning to go there, but of course that's exactly the thesis of my book, letter to the American church. I'm basically begging people to see the parallel of exactly what happened in the early 30s in Germany. It is what's been happening in the American church today, and it is astonishing that some good people could be deceived and could be used to deceive millions. We have voices in the church today in the evangelical church, writing books saying we shouldn't be political, which we shouldn't be exactly what the German church was mostly saying, keep your nose clean, don't speak against the wickedness of the Nazis. Just let it go, just focus on the gospel, and you think, what dead gospel are you preaching that you can not speak against these evils? What God are you worshiping? It's extraordinary that we're living through these times, but Rick, you and your book give us hope, the lord is giving us hope, folks, the book is called overcoming evil in the last days. My guest has been doctor Rick Joyner Rick just a privilege to have you. Thank you, sir. Likewise, could be with you again. If not for you babe I'd wake at night wait for the morning night to shine and through, but it would not be new if not for you if. We can never know about the days to what a day. Sean Foyt, Rick Joyner, it's crazy. Okay, I want to read this on the air to everybody who's listening..

"I love his life and so we're thinking. Folks, I'm talking at Rick Joyner, his new book is overcoming evil in the last days. Rick, I was just kind of giving part of my perspective on what I see as a religious spirit that we're dealing with right now. Can you respond to what I was saying and tell us what you mean by that? Well, I agree with what you said about it. I think you've done a whole lot to give people an understanding of how we're not to submit to that perspective of not being the salt and light we're called to be through your books about wilberforce, Bond huffer and others, and I think most Christians really get that now that, you know, to me it's a decreasing voice of those who think we shouldn't get engaged in what's happening in the world. But I think the real root of a religious spirit is trying to base our relationship to God on religious performance rather than what he accomplished on the cross. You know, where it's, you know, he's our righteousness. And we also, you know, I think there are ways that the religious spirit is the most deadly. You know, Jesus had no trouble dealing with demons. They compelled the need to him. It was the religious community that had him killed that and crucified. So that religious spirit to me is the foundation of en route of the one that binds the other three together, which I call Satan's court of three strands that is not easily broken, but to get free of it is to follow Christ to become like him, not just what people's opinions of him were or opinions of, what is right and wrong in our society. We've got to eat of the tree of life, not the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And that tree of life is a person. It's Christ himself. Well, it's absolutely extraordinary. We just, I don't know, when I was with you at Morningstar, a number of years ago, you and I got in a conversation, not really related to what we're talking about right now, but about Rudolf Hess. Do you remember that conversation? I know I've talked a lot about Rudolph. So I can imagine what it was. Well, just the idea that he was part of Hitler's inner circle, and that he was held at spandau prison and that you knew someone who shared Jesus with Rudolf has one of the top figures in the Nazi high command. It's just one of the most amazing things and I always thought if I ever got you back on the program, I wanted to ask you if you could mention anything about that. Yeah, my friend colonel Eugene Byrd was the American commandant of the spandau prison for 7 years. The housed all the Nazi war criminals. And he did help lead Albert speer von schirach was the founder of the Hitler youth, Rudolf Hess, who was Hitler's number one man, his vice premier, and other Nazi leaders who were most led them to the lord. And Rudolph Hess was the last one, but one of the most remarkable conversions I've ever heard of. But yeah, I think we're when we get to eternity, we're going to find out while those Nazi leaders were there. They are going to be there with us, which only shows us we should not limit the power of the cross to change anyone. I mean, when I heard you talk about this, I mean, in my baumhoff book, of course, I talk about Rudolf has. It's one of the most crazy, amazing stories in history, and then he became the only prisoner at spandau prison. He was basically the only one who lived, I don't know when he died exactly, but he lived into his 90s, I think. He was there. It's just one of the most astonishing things imaginable. But you were friends with the man who led this guy who was so close to Hitler..

"Yeah, and I would say that most of those who are doing that in the world, it started in the church. If we whatever we loosen heaven gets released on the earth. What have we Biden having gets bound on there? I think the cancel culture started in the church, just like a lot of dark things when we started manipulating people, and we tried to just cancel other churches or other ministries. We didn't like or if somebody, you know, we had a conflict with, and we would try to do all those things to them, even though their brothers and sisters in Christ and Jesus said as we did into the least of his little ones, he would take it the way we'd done to him. Treated him. So I think like, again, like we said to get out of the program, if this thing starts manifesting in the world, we need to start looking at the church and at ourselves, how have we been operating in the same spirit that is not the spirit of God. It is not the Holy Spirit. And then when you talk about the religious spirit, it seems to me that part of what I see happening is that there are people. I mean, I write about it in my own new book, letter to the American church where I say that there are many people in the church that say, we're not supposed to be political. And I right away say, what do you mean by that? I mean, truth is truth. William wilberforce stood against slavery because of his faith in Jesus. And people at the time were saying, you're not supposed to mix faith and politics. The abolitionist movement in the United States. You had plenty churches speaking boldly against slavery, but they were told, well, you're just being political. There are plenty of people in the congregation that have a different view of that. You can't speak on that. When we come back, I'm going to give doctor Rick Joyner a chance to answer this because there's so much here, but I do want to say that that is what I'm seeing is that there are people using phrases to silence people. They say, well, that's not a gospel related issue. We don't want to be political. And I see it as a religious spirit. They're trying to confine God into this little theological box and the lord says, I want you to bring me into every part of society, whether people call you political or don't, that's not the issue..

If you change your mind. And free take a chance on me if you need me let's welcome back. We're talking to our friend doctor Rick Joyner, JO Y, and he are the book is overcoming evil in the last days. Rick in the, these three strongholds that you mentioned, these strongholds of evil racism, witchcraft, and the religious spirit, there are a lot of people, I think, listening to this program, they're not familiar with some of the language we're using when they hear witchcraft. They don't quite understand what we're talking about. Obviously, we mean the occult, there are dark spiritual forces, all spirituality is not good spirituality. If you believe in the God of the Bible, you know that there are hosts of demons who wore against God's angels. This is called reality folks. This is the invisible reality of the spirit. So Rick, when you say that this is one of the strongholds today, how do you mean it? Well, I think what you're talking about, the occult, is one form. Actually think that is the smaller form of witchcraft. It's like the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the good side of that tree was just as deadly as the evil side. Rooted in human goodness, human idealism and things like that. I think what I would call white witchcraft charismatic witchcraft not speaking of a charismatic movement would have cares human charisma, basically witchcraft is counterfeit, spiritual authority, it's used in any spirit other than the Holy Spirit. To manipulate to control, to dominate, to influence others, even to do the work of God. I believe many Christian leaders are using more counterfeit spiritual authority than they are the real thing. And I think the way it enters, we see clearly in the lives of king Saul and king David. King saw lost the authority the kingdom was rent from him or true spiritual authority was rent from him when he caved into the pressure and offered a sacrifice he was not authored to sacrifice. He was a binge mite, not a Levi. But he did that because he saw the enemies gathering in the people scattering. He feared the circumstances and he feared the people more than he did God in the command of God. And that's what I think causes us to start serving men even to start serving evil and we can even do it, claiming to be doing it in the name of Jesus, the name of Christ. Can you give me an example because I feel like I'm not understanding specifically what are the kinds of manifestations of this that are happening now? Well, I think a control spirit where you can try to intimidate and control others by pressuring them threatening them and things like that even to do good things, even to do good works. That's counterfeit spiritual authority. Well, to me, it sounds like the cancel culture. It sounds like it sounds like the woke Marxist left that has infiltrated the church because that's a big part of what we're dealing with right now is that churches that we would say are evangelical churches have been for a long time. They've opened a door to critical race theory, which is Marxist and atheist, and it's in the name of good things. It's saying that because it's because we care about the poor, because we care about injustice, racial injustice. There are all kinds of terms virtue signaling, but it seems clear to me that the spirit's animating that are not of God and at least that's how I'm interpreting part of what you're saying..

"We've ever had. Now, some of the leaders of youth with a mission wrote me about, I think it was 17 years after I had published that book, the harvest and said they had done a study and that in the 17 years since I had put that word out, more people would come to Christ and those 17 years than in all of previous history from the day of Pentecost until I had published that book. Now, a whole lot of that has to do with the population is so much greater than all, but many nations at that time were experiencing the greatest revival. I believe the greatest in gathering the world has experienced, but it missed America. It seems like it missed America missed Europe, but countries in south and Central America and Asia even Eastern Europe, they were having people born again at a rate faster than people were being born in their countries. It was massive change in a massive in gathering, and then I was shown there would be a long period of relative inactivity before the next wave and that's when we needed to prepare those who had been gathered in the first wave to be the laborers for the second wave. And all that that entailed and I was warned don't waste that time. Use every bit of it. Well, listen, we now have evidence, clear evidence, the second wave is upon us. And you know, if you know, you've been at the ocean for big wave is coming and you're in a position right. You're not going to ride the wave. You're going to get crushed by it. And I think there are so many people that have not prepared for what is now. Obviously, already upon us. And I think a lot of it is because most of our attention has been on the and we're told that's the way it's going to be when this happens. As they are 60, when darkness covers the earth and deep darkness, people that's when the glory, the lord of eaters. Throughout history and throughout scripture, it was during the times of greatest apostasy that the greatest prophets arose that the greatest moves of God were begun. But I am so excited right now that we're seeing the first stages of what I believe will be the last great way for at least the last one I was seen in that shown in that vision. And there could be more after, but I wasn't sure. That's amazing. We've got more folks. We're talking to Rick Joyner, his brand new book is called overcoming evil in the last days, exposing Satan's three most powerful, evil, strongholds, racism, witchcraft, and the religious spirit when we come back. I want to talk about that second one, witchcraft, which is real. We'll be right back. You're not so down you have your life in a free home style you'll take an inch but you love a mind than ever seems to be crying now tell me Eric, why is relief factor so successful at lowering or eliminating pain? I'm often asked that question the owners of relief factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right, designed to heal, and I agree with them. So the doctors who formulated relief factor for them selected the four best ingredients, yes, 100% drug free ingredients, each helps your body deal with inflammation. Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway. And that right there approaching from four different angles may be why so many people find such wonderful relief. So if you've got back pain, shoulder neck hip knee or foot pain from exercise or just getting older, you should order the three week quick start discounted to only 1995 to see if it will work for you. It works for me. It has for about 70% of the half a million people who've tried it and have ordered more, go to relief factor dot com or call 800 for relief to find out about this offer, feel the difference. Is the government the best mechanism for fighting poverty? Are there any real life examples of communities successfully combating addiction and homelessness today?.

Rick Joyner Predicts What Will Happen in the Coming Years
"Rick, I just have to ask you because you've moved in the prophetic for a long time and in some ways that can be confusing. It's been to some extent confusing to me. What do you see happening in the years ahead? Or can you talk about that? Because so many people are wondering, what are the profits saying? How are they saying it? What is your sense of that? Well, first, I think we do have a situation where. Even in the New Testament, there were not many prophets. There were actually far more apostles than there were prophets. In the New Testament, and the real thing is rare. I think many are claiming to be any Christian Kim prophesy, by the way, we're talking Corinthians, but that doesn't make you a prophet. So I think we have many voices out there right now that may indeed someday mature into genuine prophetic ministry, but we also see in part and we know in part, nobody has the whole picture. So, you know, when he said the lord said name is that he would not do anything unless he revealed his secret counsel to his servants, the prophets that's plural, not just singular. They're supposed to be a fellowship in a an interchange, not with just profits with profits, but I believe prophetic people who have taken their right place in the body of Christ and relate to the whole body of Christ.

"Back. We're talking to our friend Rick Joyner, Rick, there's a lot to be said. The title of your book is overcoming evil in the last days. You identify three strongholds, racism, witchcraft, and the religious spirit. Let's talk about that. Racism, I have to say that recently it came to me that the folks who are involved in critical race theory, BLM, they are stoking the fires of racism for them, it's almost as though they worship an idol of racism because it's good for business. Now, I don't know whether some of them may be aware of that, but the irony is that if somebody is making progress in their own in their own issues with other races or whatever, that's bad for business for these folks that they're stoking these fires. They seem to have a glee in the division. They don't really seem interested genuinely in bringing healing or unity or even acknowledging healing and unity when you see it. Because most of the churches I go to are completely multi ethnic, every color, every race, but their voices out there that they don't like that. They want to pretend that things are worse than ever. It's just kind of a bizarre thing as I have observed it. So when you talk about that being one of the three, what's your perspective? Well, I think, you know, Jesus said Satan can not cast out, say, I think many of those who are out there doing the most accusing of others being racist are doing and saying the most racist things of all. And I think that also is because as we were warned, you accuse others. Do you do the same things? And you write it when you try to use Satan or you try to use evil to cast out evil, it only multiplies that evil. You know, rebellion will not cast out, you know, racism or witchcraft, any of these other things. We can't use the thing. Do you said if I cast out demons by the spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you, so first we need to see, yeah, racism is an ultimate issue. It's an ultimate evil of the human heart. It's something the lord warned about in that same dialog he had in Matthew 24. Where he said nation would rise against nation that was the Greek word ethnos would rise against ethnos or ethnic conflict, not just countries fighting each other, and we see that rising in the world, and yet Jesus said, which I think is the antithesis to that. He said his church would be a house of prayer for all ethnos all ethnic groups. All nations. So we've got to be sure that we are not of a racist spirit. And that we, you know, I think would have the heart of God, the creator, who is so loves creativity, made every one of us different, makes every snowflake different. Supposedly, which he loves diversity, that much, I think we should have in our heart that we're not going to be afraid of others because they're different from us, or we're not going to consider ourselves superior to others just because we're different. But when we see or find others who are different, we have an expectation of learning from them of honoring them and respecting them and being open to we need to learn things from them that they're seeing that we probably don't see. So yeah, I think it's, to me, the way we combat all of these strongholds is basically we have faith in God. We looked at him. We get changed into his image. We become like him, and we fight the evil with truth that will set people free..

Rick Joyner and Eric Discuss Worshipping the 'Idol of Racism'

"Yeah, part of it, I would also include that under the category of cowardice more than maybe even the religious spirit, it's pulse that if I were still seeking to please men, I would not be a bond servant of Christ. I think a lot of that is simply the fear of man, fear of causing controversy or whatever. But Jesus gave us only three instructions, three things to do when he was asked about the signs of what's going to happen at the end of the age, his conclusion was you need to do these three things. Speaking to his people, you need to stand up, number one, we've got to start standing up for what we believe, didn't Jesus. He came to show us how we're supposed to live. He boldly confronted the darkness of his times. He didn't back down one bit, he would call him hypocrites when that's what they were being. Then he said to look up, number two, look up, keep your eyes on him. The one who really has authority when Peter kept his eyes on the lord, he could walk on the troubled waters. If we take our eyes off him, we're going to sink. We can fall into the same fears and paranoia and all that much of the world is falling into if we don't keep our attention on him. And then he said number three, rejoice. Don't ever lose your joy, the joy of the lord is your strength. And I think if we're trying to confront the evil in the world with bitterness with resentment by a reactionary spirit, rather than really understand, no, we're supposed to have the truth that sets people free, you know, people are not our enemy. We don't war against flesh and blood we're told. It's what has control of people, and we want to break that darkness off of them. So they can be free. And if we lose our joy, we're going to lose everything. Well, I was saying, I think earlier in the first hour of this program with my producer Albin, that I have never, when I post something on Instagram or on Twitter, whatever, the most negative discouraging comments I get are from religious Christians who are almost happy to say it's all over, God has already judged us like basically throw in the towel. It's the voice of the devil coming through this religious spirit. And then on the other end of the spectrum, you have what you called cowardice. And I think it's one of the last verses in the scripture that who will be thrown into the Lake of fire. It's such a chilling verse in revelation. The cowardly cowards. I mean, I thought to myself, you don't hear that very often. That God, judges, cowardice, that if you fear, man, if you don't stand up and believe in him and live out your faith in that way, you don't get you don't get an out. Oh, we're going to a break speaking of an out, we'll be right back..

If You Care About the World, This Is the FIRST Thing You Should Do
"This said over and over, people say, what's wrong with the world? And I don't know if it was Chesterton who said it, but he said, I am. In other words, our own sin, our own brokenness, the first thing, if you care about your country, if you care about the world, if you care about any of these things, the first thing to do is to read the Bible and to give your heart to Jesus, utterly in every way, anything that is preventing you in your life from getting closer to him from walking with him. That's step number one. And we often don't talk about that. We often talk about external things, but you and I know that's the first thing and the most important thing that God wants us to do.

"Folks, welcome to the program, I'm not sure if I warned you, but we have for the whole hour right now, our friend Rick Joyner on to talk about a brand new book that he has, it's called overcoming evil in the last days, exposing Satan's three most powerful evil strongholds, racism, witchcraft, and the religious spirit, doctor Rick Joyner, my friend, welcome. Well, good to be with you, Eric. I'm so impressed that you're up this early. It's extraordinary. I want to tell you that I have a book out at the same time as your book. And I think so much of you that I want to promote your book more than I want to promote my book. Let me put it that way. When you say something, first of all, there are people who listen to this program who are not people of faith. And I think some of this language may be confusing to them. So I just want to be clear, folks, doctor Rick Joyner and I believe that we're in a spiritual battle right now. It's not just a political battle or whatever you want to see, whatever you want to call it, it's at its heart, a spiritual battle. And if you're a Christian, you need to understand that God calls you to spiritual warfare. We're not talking about guns. We're talking about prayer. We're talking about spiritual warfare. So Rick, the book is called overcoming evil in the last days. I guess that implies that you believe they were able to overcome the evil, spiritually that we're seeing. Yes, I do. I believe there are three levels that we need to overcome the evil end. First and ourselves, second in the body of Christ, that represents Christ on the earth. And then, when we have those established, I believe, we have authority to shut the gates of hell into our countries and gates of hell are hell has access, where hell is getting into our country, to subdue it, you know, to pervert it, things like that. And I think as we come into a unity, first in ourselves, then the body of Christ, we can go after these ultimate strongholds..

He goes to Mexico, and he gets a different kind of comedy and he brings it back into the states. He smuggles it back in. Sort of the large bandit of mustache style comedy. He's swallows balloons filled with comedy. All right, anyway, a couple of things before we go for the day. A little housekeeping. You need to go to stream dot org.

America Is Moving Toward Madness and War
"Words, I've often said I was on Steve Bannon's program, someone said, I said, we're in a war. I didn't mean a war where people take up arms, but the point is it's an ideological war. It's a media war, it's a war of ideas. But the point is that it is, it is a war for the soul of the nation. We can not be the free republic that we have been if we continue down the path that the current administration in quotes would take us clearly we're moving toward madness toward Marxist cultural Marxism has taken over intersectionality transgender critical race through all of this stuff is madness.

Is the Lord Sending Messages About Trump's Return to the White House?
"Mike Thompson. He's a prophet in loss, Vegas of all places, who has been saying things that basically tracking with what you all have been saying. But saying that he really believes there is we're on the verge of revival that we're on the verge of a lot of good things happening in the country. I always have trouble making sense of it. I think a lot of people do, because we all agree, or most of us agree how it's going to end. But in the meantime, where are we on the timeline? And he seems to suggest, along with a few other voices, his names I can't remember, but Mike Thompson in Las Vegas, who I trust, I've had him on this program has really said that he does see great things happening, including and he's pretty emphatic about this. Trump back in The White House. So neither of you have any opinions on that or do you. I would love to see it, but I have nothing from the lord. Yeah. I don't either. I would love to see it also. What good are you? Okay. So it's just so fascinating. What God says to whom, you know, and as you were saying earlier, Rick sometimes, you know, you try to, you try to discern from various various people. You would be just going to say something. Yeah, we all see in part. He doesn't give anyone the whole picture. We all get a little part and we have to put those together. But I hope that he's right.

"Folks welcome back. I have the joy of speaking with my friends Rick Joyner and Chris Reed Morningstar ministries. Rick, you just said something huge. An important you said that the lord spoke to you. Now, I love the fact that there are people listening to this program or watching who don't even believe in any of this stuff. So we're going to challenge them here. But you said that the lord spoke to you showed you that what is coming is a second American Revolution, a second Civil War, before I read that you had said that. Months ago, I've effectively been saying the same thing. That's what it feels like. But tell us more about that because I don't get the sense that that means we're taking up arms or do you think that's possible? What do you think the lord said to you? And also I'm sure there are many people that think that even to mention this, we should be locked up because we're a clear and present danger to the republic, even by mentioning this metaphorically. So what do you think? Unpack anything you can. Well, I was first shown this in 1987. That America was headed towards a Civil War revolution. But I took it as if you don't change your direction. You're going to end up where you're headed. And we still had plenty of time to change our direction. And that's the way I was moving, praying that, you know, doing what I was doing. But in the dream I had 2018 when I was shown clearly that no, it is now inevitable. We crossed some kind of line there. And the Civil War revolution is inevitable. So that changed my thinking from trying to avoid it, help us in any way to avoid what has come in to preparing for it. It is coming. And of course it would still be my ultimate hope and any sane persons ultimate hope that it would not degenerate into violence. There are a lot of ways to fight wars besides using guns and bombs. There are economic wars there. All kinds of different ways to do it. But what I saw in that dream was no, it was physical fighting in our streets in our cities. It was worse than I've ever even expressed publicly. I still think with repentance with really fulfilling second chronicles 7 14 and all, even though it may be inevitable, it can be lessened. The damage, the destruction, the death and the wounding could be lessened greatly. And we need to still do everything that we can to help that. But I do believe we've crossed the line where it's already become violent. Well, I was going to say,.

"At the bitch hey there folks, remember that I said I would have my Friends Rick Joyner and Chris Reed on the program? Well, here they are. Rick, Chris, welcome. Well, good to be with you. Good to see you. Don't get too excited. This could end at any time. I could pull the plug on this interview at any point. You know, Rick, I was joking that you passed away in a hang gliding accident and that Chris took over the ministry. But evidently you're very much alive, you're looking vibrant. Why would you pass over Morningstar ministries to a young pup like Chris Reed? That's my first question, but I'm not going to let you answer it yet. First I want you to tell me or maybe I'll tell my audience that you founded Morningstar in 1985. So you've been doing this thing for a long time. Maybe I don't know. Tell my audience who don't know about Morningstar. What is morning star? And then explain why you turned it over to that young that kid sitting to your left. Well, born east star is a multifaceted ministry. We have churches, fellowship of churches, ministries. We have publishing we published, I don't know how many books we have music recording. We have television, we have we bought the old heritage USA property is now our headquarters. We call it a heritage international, so we have a conference center. We host conferences. We do just about everything we can in order to take over the world. Now, if you want me to explain why I'm turning all this over to Chris, it could be insanity, but honestly, I believe that it is something the lord is ordained and I'm honestly very excited about it. So you think it's a God thing? Because in the natural, it makes no sense because I've met Chris Reed and frankly, I'm not impressed. All right. Well, it's just a joy to have the two of you here. Chris, you know, just want to explain to my audience, you move in the prophetic, even that term is sort of like an inside baseball term. He moves in the prophetic. What does that even mean? But God speaks to you. We've had you on the program before. And I think it's important, I believe that God speaks prophetically today. But the big question is always, how do you know? How do you know that it's real? How do you know? And both of you know that there are a lot of people out there claiming that God is speaking to them, not all of them are doing it accurately. It gets sometimes as an echo chamber, you know, a lot of profits said Trump would get a second term. He's going to he's going to win. He's going to win. And it was like emphatic. There was no question. And then obviously we had the chaos of what I like to call the stolen election. And the end of democracy. But so how do you all process that? Because you're more in that world than I am. When you get a lot of people saying things, how do you know what is the flesh? And what is the lord? I just would love to hear either of you or both of you comment on that before we get into specifically what you think God's been saying to you, Chris. Well, I feel that it's something that you learn to trust knowing that it's God. He Bruce 5, 14 says that our senses are developed and matured by reason of use. So just after a period of time of test and verify, you learn to distinguish between the voice of your mind and the voice of the Holy Spirit. And so over the number of years I've learned to distinguish the two, I certainly don't claim to have it all right or I guess I'm a little bit I'm a little less interested in you personally because I do trust you. But I'm talking about in the prophetic world, there are people who are in other words, maybe what I'm trying to say is that when somebody claims to speak for God, that's just huge. And it strikes me that there are people good people who maybe they're sometimes they're just driving off the edge of the road a little bit. They're not they're kind of interpreting as they are saying what God said. So they're giving you a little bit of what they think it is. And that you can get wrong. Does that make sense? There's different kinds of I mean if God speaks to you really clearly and you report on exactly what he said, you could really can't go wrong. But if you try to talk about it, people get confused with I mean, I think it was I'm trying to think I think maybe a few years ago I had Mark Taylor on the program and he said that he sees a red tsunami. This was the 2018 midterm elections, right? And I said, wait a second. Do you is that what you think is happening or did God say that to you? Because the way he said it, he's a prophet, it sounds like that's what God said. And when I asked him that, he said, oh, no, no, that's my thing, and I was like, wow, Mark, that's a big difference because if you say it, I can process it as this is a man with a point of view and whatever. But if God said it, it's a different thing. But it was only when I prodded him. I said, well, wait a minute, was that you were and I think that a lot of times the reason folks who maybe don't trust the prophetic get confused is because some people who are really deep into it, they're more comfortable with it and they're not as careful, not realizing that there's some people that just don't understand those lines..

"Christmas I'm talking to my Friends Rick Joyner and Chris Reed at Morningstar ministries, privilege to call both of you Friends. We're talking about some really heavy stuff here, but it's hopeful. And what you just said, Rick, I mean, this is exactly what I have been saying, wherever I go, that if your eyes are not on the lord at this time, you are wise to despair. Your wise to freak out and be full of fear. I think that people are going to look at the people who really have faith and they're going to say, what is wrong with you? Just what you said. Why do you have this joy? Why do you have hope in the midst of this madness? And so I think a lot of people, their fear will drive them to faith. So I think the madness that we're seeing, the desperation we're seeing on every level. I mean, just on what's coming government mandates, all of this stuff, I think your average American says, wait a second. What? This is America. What is happening here? The fear mongering on the part of I think today Joe Biden is giving a speech, you know, it's like a chicken little address, run to the root cell or hide, you know, death is coming. That's a way you can control people, whether he's doing it intentionally or not. I don't know if he has any idea of what he is doing. But it seems to me that if you're full of faith, you don't have fear, even when things are dangerous or scary, whatever you still have a joy and I think a lot of people who say that they're Christians are waking up to this. They're realizing that they're miserable that they don't have hope. They really need to find God on a deeper.

Chris Reed Received a Message From God: Joe Biden Won't Complete His First Time
"About the future of the world. Things along those lines, Chris, you were just sharing that very recently, God had spoken to you about Joe Biden. That you said that he would not complete his first term. Is that about right? I believe that a 100% believe that. And whether he officially steps down or Kamala is acting president. I don't think he will actually be president by the next election. But I will say I saw in this panoramic play out that he was sitting in a chair in the back of The White House and it was as if he had deteriorated worse. I don't know if it was a stroke or something that led to him not being able to carry out his services. Kamala then walked through a back door and sat down in a seat that somehow I knew was the presidency. And so I think Joe Biden, I think Pope Francis in light of our previous conversation, these people are just time fillers. I don't think they're the main players, and I think that we're about to see an emergence on the scene of key players in the end time. They will ultimately, their attempts and their efforts, what they're trying to accomplish will be frustrated by the grace of God, and the kingdom of God will come in the earth, but I think we are right now at a key moment. And I think that Kamala will try to implement socialism even more than Joe Biden currently has. But I believe the grace of God will frustrate

So if you're in either of those two states that can work with you as a counselor, however I also have sober.

So I've developed this coaching program that I use with people, which is very similar to what I do in my counseling practice extraordinarily similar. And I offer that through private coaching packages where you can work with me individually for a series of months and you can find out more at Lynn. Mattie DOT, com or sober. So Recovery Net, they take you to the same place and you can just check me out there. I started this podcast in two thousand eighteen really as a project to get my voice out there. And share what I know to be good mental health with other people along with issues that surround us when we are in recovery or trying to be sober and all of those good things and today I am surprised. But happily so to know that there are about twenty five thousand of you listening every month and I'm ever so grateful for you picking up what I'm. Putting down. So today's subject I loved digging in two things that interest me but also seemingly come up a lot in my week to week working with people who are suffering in the same way that I dead wanting to make their lives better and finding ways to do that. That are very empowering. So today I wanNA talk about one of the most powerful tools in what? I call the buffer zone, which is essentially your toolkit it just i. like the analogy of a buffer zone because you can grow it really big. I am putting my two hands out very close together at first and then stretching to become a big buffer zone of things that you can do to help you cope and one of the most powerful tools as I said is acceptance. Let's figure out why people often will say I can't. Do this anymore I can't stand it. It's not fair. This possibly could ruin me. This can't be true and it shouldn't be this way. It's almost as if we refuse to accept truths that are right in front of us, and we work really hard to keep it from becoming true. Or that we balk re refused to accept that if we do this thing called accepting. It means a green with this thing that is. Seemingly. Unacceptable standing right in front of us but accepting doesn't mean a green I like to think about accepting as refocusing your energy. Because it's exhausting to keep fighting what is happening right in front of us the reality of what's happening in front of us, and moreover, it doesn't work refusing to accept for instance that you've been fired or that someone's broken up with you that your friend cheated you somehow or did something wholly unexpected and something that goes against your very values you weren't you know accepted into a program that you like. This becomes pain and pain is uncomfortable and it's not what we want to experience. Accepting reality is difficult. Exactly because it's painful, no one wants to experience disappointment sadness or loss but those are experiences that are part of life when we attempt to avoid and resist these emotions. We add suffering to our pain. We build the emotion bigger her with our thoughts and our rumination creating more misery by attempting to. And or suppress these painful emotions

Makeover: Oil Giant BP Promises to Cut Oil Production, Invest in Renewables
"Somebody had to go I. It's no surprise that Covid Nineteen Delta Draconian blow to the oil and gas industry stay at home orders and line shutdowns of dramatically reduced the need for oil and gas prices and earnings plunged well. Now at least one giant oil company says demand for fossil fuels will never be the same again and it's taking steps not just to pivot, but to make itself over entirely. That business is BP the london-based behemoth last week, the one, hundred, ten year, old company announced a seventeen billion dollar quarterly loss and multibillion dollar writedown of its assets. But what generated headlines was its announcement that over the next decade, it intends to discard its identity as a fossil fuel business. Instead, it'll invest heavily in a wide variety of renewable energy technologies on its way to achieving net zero emissions by twenty fifty. Specifically bb says it will cut oil and gas production by forty percent over the next decade. At the same time, it plans to put ten times as much money into renewable energy investments as it currently does with a goal of investing five billion dollars a year by twenty thirty bio-energy hydrogen, carbon, capture and storage investments in electric vehicle charging stations are all said to be on the menu as our wind and solar. From. A business perspective the move does make some sense BP expects demand for oil to fall between fifty and seventy five percent over the next thirty years as the world attempts to slow global warming. In June BP officials acknowledged that the pain caused to the oil business by the pandemic isn't temporary. It's permanent. They say in a statement, they said covid nineteen would accelerate an existing transition to a lower carbon economy as country seek to quote, build back better meaning in ways less harmful to the environment. The shift is taking a toll on BP's employees. The company announced in June that it plans to lay off ten thousand people. BP's dismal second quarter didn't seem to faze investors instead they embrace the company's new renewable energy shift its share price leapt seven percent on the news stuart joyner an analyst at the market research firm redburn remarked that the move was major positive, thoughtful, and largely unexpected the New York Times reported. Unexpected too many perhaps, but close observers of the company may not have been that surprised. BP has spent the last decade clawing back from its disastrous deepwater horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. For obvious reasons, the company hasn't exactly been a darling of environmentalists, but quickly after becoming CEO in February Bernard Looney made a pledge for BP to achieve net zero emissions by twenty fifty it was the first of giant global oil companies to do so. At the time both socially conscious and traditional investors applauded BP's pledge Andrew Logan and oil and gas director at series a climate change advocacy organization said EP was setting a new standard for leadership in the oil industry CNN reported and Barclays analysts called the plan both fundamental and radical. Last week. Looney. said in a statement quote. This coming decade is critical for the world in the fight against climate change and to drive the necessary change in global energy systems will require action from everyone but so far oil giants. Exxon and Chevron have not followed suit indeed mobile continues to expand oil exploration and production around the world despite its own sharp drop in earnings. The Washington Post reported BP has attempted and failed at other eco, friendly initiatives over the years and BP will continue to invest in and make most of its money from fossil fuels for at least another five years. Still observers agree that this is the company's most transformative move yet, and the realities of business may give BP's ecoconscious strategy more momentum than has existed in the past. As reporter Steven muffs wrote in. The Washington Post for. BP. Is trying to get ahead of what climate change might forced the industry to do. Anyway.

Tips every Django developer should know
"This first tip that have this is like one of the main things that I think of is like it comes with these building block pieces that say Flask Impure Pyramid and. Bass APN. What just don't come with like Admin back ends Yup. That's where we're going to start off. So Django clearly comes at batteries included and some people actually don't like that because they've under rule their own and they think itself. I happen to like their preferences and yeah, one of those well-known building blocks as the admin interface at and it's it's pretty impressive. But a few lines of code you. You can just add your model, an avid pie file, and you have to complete crowd interface, which is probably pretty end user. But as a maintain earth, this site it's it's pretty convenient and it's also very easy to extend it. So for example, taking admin class here, you can define some search fields. which makes those field searchable. You can have even have out a complete fields which they integrated the jobless Ritz. You can override to get crazy set and. Yeah. It's a nice way of inheriting from the Admin Dots Model Admin blasts Yeah. So it comes out of the box just. Kind of think of it as like. Google sheets or something for your database, right? Right. Where each table is like a tab or a sheet and sit in the workbook or whatever the terminology of Google sheets is. But the task. The bottom writes something I mean not necessarily stimuli. But that idea that you have like a grid over top of it. But what you're telling me is I can go into rive special classes that are tied to the various. Tables the models more specifically in it lets you search different aspects of it. Lets you cool. Auto completion. You could also say like limit how many items come back in your search results per page. So you don't get a million or something like that, right? Yeah. Do a list filter, for example, and then certain columns at the right side of the page. You can filter on them by clicking. Just. With one nine of coach. So this does raise some Cole functionality and I think, maybe in the show notes, we can link to a Django adleman cookbook, I use a loss which has like the hands. On. I. Might have mentioned before actually on pie down the vice then the umbrella from that book. That's like fifty pages and. Yeah Very. Workable. Super Bowl. Another thing you can do is you can write a function called get query set and actually do things like be joyner, do a joined queries against other things. Otherwise you may it up with like the N plus one problem of Orum's were doing queer than everything that comes back. You have to do more queries per item to try to fill out the details, I will talk about that in in one of the tips. Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. That's super cool. Let's see what else you want to say about that I. You know I was it. You think it might have been you either you or damn baiter. baiter from real python talking about using this to actually trigger events as you interact with this adman was that you think that was me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So tell us that's like I. think that's pretty related. Tell people by the pretty. Cool. Right. We spoke about that on Python Bites Yeah. Thank God. We did was in one of the at model self variety safe method, and then the object plus created, and only then do a certain action. He likes emailing people in Hindsight. That's probably better to do it a salary task by it's an example how you can override those methods and do certain things. Yeah. Pretty easily. Yeah very cool. All right remember to or magic. Yeah. Well, Dan go comes with its own orem object relational napper and it's kind of a proxy today. So you don't have to ride s all yourself although i. Am such a fan. I'm saying, well, you worked at, Oracle, didn't you? Fan of orange actually or in the nurse sequel world maybe od M.'s or or some. are might not necessarily make sense, but you know there's so many issues you can run into if you don't use parameters, queries, little bobby tables, and all those issues and just like if you get the rock queries back and you pull different values sometimes you forget to convert this thing to an integer and it's just a string that has an energy in it that sort of. All these little weird edge cases right now you're as. With. Orum's at kind of. Like a layer that just separates like how your data should be transformed I. Really Love It. I, think it's great. I know one hundred percent work all the time. Right? There's places where it doesn't. But that's not as you know like most the time it's a it's a beautiful thing and it's it's a nice obstruction and it's way easier to use and more elegant.

A.J. Green's injury on 'subpar' Bengals practice field will cost wide receiver up to two months
"Speaking of injuries unfortunately an M._r._i.. Has revealed that Cincinnati Bengals Wide Receiver A._J.. Green has torn ligaments in his left. Ankle is according affording to Schefter here. They are likely to sideline green six to eight weeks up really not a good situation and teammate Tyler Boyd questioned the turf. The team was practicing on when green was injured. It was terrible. I couldn't run any routes out there. I'm falling all over the ground man it was it was bad. It was rocks pebbles out there man it was somewhere we should have been just feel like the turf was old. You know it just wasn't we didn't get good traction in and out of her breaks. You know a lot of guys not just me was on the ground but I mean who wasn't up there that long but there's gotTa make a word man. We gotta get it well. The turf was that welcome stadium at the University of Dayton where the bengals are practicing coach you buy this well. I haven't seen the video really in this instance probably not but I will say that you know feel. Surfaces are very very important for player safety. You know whether it's a grass field you know what is the old school latch with Pittsburgh steelers. We practice on hard old school astroturf every day for five years so no you got to look at it but in that instance I think it was a matter of the kind of rolling up on the back of his ankle and that was what I saw caused that particular injury about sure it was the field service problem here in addition to the injury of course which is is paramount is the optics of this and when you have a player who says this sort of perception is reality and then then it's out there and you got players. You might believe this is the case whether the optics to this are awful and this time of year teams are trying to realize their fan N._B._C.'s. I've been a part of that for a number of years. Every team has an operations department and kind of like the offensive line. You'd never talk about the operations department until there's a problem and part of their responsibility is to advance where hotels are safety of the fields whether or not the field deal with safer not now the perception is that it was a problem now e._j.. Green fairness may have gotten hurt it was on their practice field but they're players now think that was a factor and they're at the University of Dayton given rookie head coach. He's trying to establish himself itself and now he has a problem in the locker room because these players are questioning what the organization did and that Operation Staff that you're referring to my signed off on the practices being here the League went to them. They sent a site survey team to inspect the field and that site survey survey team for the Bengals said this field is okay to practicing and maybe they thought it's one practice we can get through now. You've got a situation where you see A._J.. Green get hurt on this play and we can take another look at it right here where he goes up for the past the D._v. lands on his ankle. He's on the turf tears ligaments in his ankle. He's going to be sixty weeks. Think about how much is at stake your now. You have a first year head coach Zack Taylor who's trying to come in and implemented program. They've already lost their first round draft. Pick joyner Williams to a season ending injury. Now you lose your left tackle. You lose your number one wide receiver. They are at a loss there and A._J.. Green himself is going into the last year of his contract so at a time when we're talking about new deals for Michael Thomas in Amari Cooper Julio Jones guess who else was on that list of A._J.. Green so what happens now to his value as argument now that he is going to be out for some period of time and organization standpoint. That's a really difficult position because A._J.. Degrees could say hey. I've done all the right things. I was out there practicing at the university because you wanted me to and now that's going to hurt me and take money out of my own pocket. It could really cause a situation to go awry very quickly and again even if the operations team went through all the protocols the the perception is that this feel wasn't safe and now they have a problem with one of their best players. Yeah I think that team without J. Green if you look at their record versus with huge and so he's a big part of their team. He's going to be missed. This is that there's a fair amount of injury here to start. You know this is not the way not the way you want to get off the ground. No team does last last year he missed time with a toe injury and when he was out of there the offense did not operate the same toddler boys production fell off and everybody thinks talent boy. We'll just emerge as the number one guy and he's a really good wide receiver but the fact that matters A._G.. Green when he's out there makes tyler. Holler bought a better received. John Ross still has not stepped up as the first round draft pick that he was. He says he's ready to do that. Will they need him to do that. They've got some other players Alex Berenson some good young receivers but A._J.. Green is on a level with Julio Jones. He's is that kind of talent and when you Jack Taylor coming into his offense it's hard to get by without somebody that good.

"A former Florida Gators football player is charged with the murder of his wife. Heisel Obando is found dead in Fort Myers on Valentine's Day of twenty sixteen. Her death was ruled a homicide two months after her body was found, but it wasn't until Saturday at thirty three year old Tony joiner was arrested. It's unclear what led to the charges three years later. The Joyner was arrested twice for beating Obando during
