Amen.
Here in 2 Kings chapter number six,
we're describing a very grievous time
for the nation of Israel
and specifically in the city of Jerusalem.
We're seeing the curses of God played out
here in this nation.
And at the end of this particular chapter,
we have just kind of a crazy story
that is very grievous to read in the Bible.
But this does happen.
And if we look back at verse 26,
it says in the king of Israel is passing by upon the wall,
there cried a woman unto him saying,
help my Lord, O king.
And he said, if the Lord do not help thee,
when shall I help thee?
Out of the barn floor or out of the wine press
and the king said unto her, what aleeth thee?
And she answered, the woman said unto me,
give thy son that we may eat him today
and we will eat my son tomorrow.
So he boiled my son and did eat him
and I said unto her on the next day,
give thy son that we may eat him
and she hath hit her son.
Now, this is a crazy story
and I wanna make it clear that what the Bible is saying here,
this is not a normal thing, of course.
These people are going through extreme starvation,
extreme war and siege.
They're being besieged by an enemy
and so all the foods ran out,
all the famine that's plaguing them
is causing them to go crazy
and to have horrific thoughts
that would normally never happen to anyone
but just through the extreme circumstances,
they've gotten to a place
where they're not only cannibalizing people in their society,
they're cannibalizing their own children
which kind of seems like an unimaginable thing
but it is something where if you pushed people
to a specific degree they could get to this place
but the Bible is basically describing
what the Bible calls a curse.
This is a curse that has happened to Jerusalem specifically
and God is cursing the children of Israel
for having turned away from his commandments
and having been rebellious against God,
going into all kinds of fornication and adultery
and idolatry and just innocent blood being shed
and just so much oppression and just all this evil
just worshiping false gods
and going after Baal which is representative of Satan,
going after all this evil
has caused God to plague them
and to bring curses upon them
so much so that the women are cannibalizing their own children
and this is what's crazy
is she asked the king to help her.
Now what is she asking for though?
She's not asking for food,
she's not asking for some kind of substance,
she's asking can we please kill another child and eat him?
That is what her request is.
She's saying hey please help me
because we already killed my child and ate it,
now I wanna kill this other woman's child
and I wanna eat it.
And you can kind of see at least the one woman,
one woman killed her own son and ate it,
the other woman was willing to eat someone else's son
but then I guess she has at least a little bit
of remorse or a little bit,
maybe she was just being deceptive
or perhaps was more remorse,
she's not willing to actually kill her own son
so even in this extreme circumstance
not every woman is willing to go down this path
but we do see at least one of them
is willing to harm their own children
and other children and just kind of gone down
this really dark path
but this is a fulfillment of Deuteronomy 28
and let's go there into the back of your Bible
or the beginning I guess I could say
to the Old Testament law
and look at Deuteronomy 28
which is a pretty famous section of scripture,
it's describing what God will do
if you follow the commandments
and what will happen if you don't follow the commandments
and the first section of Deuteronomy 28
is giving all the blessings
that God's gonna bless them greatly
and multiply them
and things are gonna go well with them
but if they don't harken
he says he's going to curse them
and I want you to notice
we're gonna just look at a few verses
look at verse 15
but it shall come to pass
if that will not harken
under the voice of the Lord thy God
to observe to do all his commandments
and his statutes which I command thee this day
that all these curses shall come upon thee
and overtake thee
and then it just lists
I mean you can just look at verses 16, 17, 18, 19
just starts with the word cursed
just cursed shall thou be in the city
and cursed thy basket
and cursed the fruit of thy body
and cursed and it's just
I mean this is a long chapter of the Bible
just saying how many ways they're gonna be cursed
cursed of God
and if you go all the way towards the end
of the curses in verse 56
the Bible says the tender
and delicate woman among you
which would not adventure
to set the soul of her foot
upon the ground for delicateness
and tenderness her eye shall be evil
toward the husband of her bosom
and toward her son
and toward her daughter
and toward her young one
that cometh out from between her feet
and toward her children
which she shall bear
for she shall eat them
for want of all things secretly
in the siege and straightness
wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates
so the Bible warns that hey
I'm going to punish you so much
so that a woman
who is a very by nature tender woman
a delicate woman
there's nothing even really
you could say a miss about this particular individual
maybe she was a nice person
in her upbringing
but she's gonna her heart
and her mind is gonna be evil affected
towards her children
and not just her children
it says her infants
because it's like talking about the one
that just came out between her feet
it's just like hey
her older children
her younger children
even infants so much so
that she is going to eat them
and this is a curse
so we can't sit here
and just blame something else
because the Bible is making it clear
this is God cursing the children of Israel
this is a curse upon a nation
when you see this kind of thing happening
where women are killing
and slaughtering their own children
in such an extreme and grotesque way
and again this is a horrific story
it says in verse 58
if thou will not observe
to do all the words of this law
that are written in this book
that thou mayest fear this glorious
and fearful name the Lord thy God
you should be afraid of God
when you see women
doing these horrific acts
because you just see how God
is punishing and cursing a nation
for doing likewise
and you know while
you know America
specifically is not the nation of Israel
America is not going through
the exact same circumstances
that the children of Israel are
because we are not going through a siege
we're not going through extreme warfare
and famine
but I feel like we can see through the text
similar parallels where
God is cursing America
and that there is a curse on America right now
in this particular category
in this particular way
and you know that's kind of where I've gotten
the title of my sermon this morning
and I'm linking it to a specific event
but it's not just only about this event
and so the title of my sermon this morning
is the curse of Lindsey Clancy
and here's the thing
why bring up that particular name
or this particular court case
that's recently happened
well here's the thing
it's kind of gathered national tension
I mean who in here would say
I have no idea who Lindsey Clancy is?
Yeah I mean that's why I'm bringing it up
okay because virtually everyone has heard about this
and it's been a big deal
social media is going crazy
on this particular issue
this has been a major event
it almost seems like more attention
on this than Charlie Kirk being killed
or being you know assassinated
and I say that because
just of how many people this is affecting
and again Charlie Kirk
I feel like affected the whole nation too
I can't even say that it didn't
but I just I've never seen so many people interested
in something like this
and we've seen just
kind of the grotesque state of our culture
and our nation
in response to this by and large
you know unfortunately there was another woman
on September 1st
that killed one of her children
and it suggested that she may have even been a copycat
but let's say she wasn't a copycat killer
then it doesn't really matter
because we're just still seeing
women slaughtering their own children
and it's not making sense
you know in America in the last few years
around 2,000 children
are being killed by their parents
either like purposefully
or through like extreme neglect
and then you know the categories
when it's just the mom doing it
it's like 456
whereas if it's just the dad
it's 197
meaning that the mothers are two and a half times
more likely to kill their own children
by the statistics in America right now
and so this is a big issue
and it's not to say that
it's not a women versus men issue
obviously there's bad men
just like there's bad women
but we're seeing just parents
being turned against their children
when it was both parents
it's 322 slaughtering
so you know in a sense
there's a lot of just death
and innocent blood
but you know 2,000
pales in comparison
to what is happening in America right now
which is still about one million abortions every year
and since Roe v. Wade
which I think in 1972
it's around that time
since that period of time
we've had 67 million abortions
that's a lot of blood
that's a lot of blood shed
that has been slaughtered in America
and in fact you know
when I was looking at these specific statistics
of parents slaughtering their children
or women slaughtering their children
and you compare America
to other developed countries in the world
America is nine times more likely
for the parents to be slaughtering their children right now
so you know when I'm saying like
hey this curse of Lindsay Clancy
I'm not just trying to take one particular event
and one particular woman and say
hey are countries bad because of one person
no there's a lot of people that are responsible
and I don't even think God
if you read the Bible carefully
is mad at a nation for having a killer
or for having bad people
it's that the bad people are not dealt with properly
then God gets mad at
when there's innocent blood shed
and then it's not dealt with appropriately
and there's not a justice that's been served
then God is gonna hold that innocent blood
the guilt of that on that nation
and on that group of people
and what we see in America right now
is we see our country as being cursed
because we're not dealing with these issues
we have 67 million abortions
and there's been no justice served
there was three children slaughtered by Lindsay Clancy
and so far there's been no justice served
she was recently in a court hearing
where it's been declared a mistrial
which you know again I'm not a legal expert
I'm not gonna pretend to be one
but based on the facts of the case
I think it's suggested that 11 of the 12 jurors
were going to potentially declare her insane or something
and say that she's not guilty of homicide
and I don't know what the ramifications of that would be
but because of this you know the chances of her
going down a new trial and being found guilty
is pretty much just statistically impossible at this point
because if only one out of 12 people were gonna convict her
the chances of you then statistically getting 12 people
that would all agree to that
and considering how much media attention
this case has gotten
I mean the chances of not having just one jury
or one juror hung up on this
is just basically a statistical zero
and so by and large you know this is my projection
my belief is they'll probably settle
or they'll probably you know try to have some kind
of a plea bargain or something
who knows what's gonna actually happen
I have no idea
but it does not appear that these three children
that have been slaughtered are gonna receive justice
and you know that's a curse on our nation
when people are slaughtering their children
and there's no justice served
that people are not caring
you know we're all the women in our country
standing somewhere and saying
we want justice for these three children
we stand with these three children
I mean what did an eight month old baby do
that it deserves to be slaughtered
and let me explain something to you
we were all eight month old babies at one point
barring the few infants that are in this room okay
I mean we basically all of us adults
we were eight months at some point
and let me explain something to you
when you were eight months old
you could not take care of yourself
you could not feed yourself
you could not change your own diapers
and you know what you needed someone
to take care of you and to provide for you
and you know what God bless our parents
and God bless the parents
that are taking care of their children
you know this is something that
should not be taken lightly
and the idea of parents
turning against their own children
is so unnatural
it's wicked it's satanic
it's a curse from God
it's a curse on our nation
that so many people are quote standing
with a murderer
and again I don't care what you think about the case
you know your opinion to me doesn't matter
because the facts of the case are
that her defense attorney said she did it
she admitted that she did it to multiple people
prior to the court hearing
and then from a premeditated perspective
she sent her husband away on purpose
so that she could do this
that is not someone just going crazy
that is someone planning
that is someone scheming
that is someone knowing what they're doing
on purpose
and so there's no way to get around
whether it was pre-made it said it or not
but let me explain my other position
if she was crazy
I still think you're guilty of murder
if you go crazy and you kill anybody
that I know or love
I'm going to say put them to death too
you know I mean can you imagine someone came to your house
and killed someone in your family
and they're like yeah but they were crazy
you'd be like I don't care
of course they're crazy
like they killed somebody
like why would I want to sit here
and justify that
you know we understand in America
and we believe in America
there's a difference between an accident
and intentional slaughter
we understand that there's a crime of passion
and that there's premeditated murder
and we have different classifications for these things
but at the end of the day
you know to say someone's crazy
so they shouldn't stand guilty of manslaughter
even or of homicide
is just backwards
it's not justice
this is not what the bible says
and show me one verse in the bible
where someone is not held accountable
for killing someone
because they were crazy
because of their mental state
and you don't think that God realized that women
after they give birth
are going to be hormonal
you don't think God realized that women
were going to have maybe the baby blues
or our struggle
with their hormone levels becoming normal again
that he wouldn't have just been like
hey I get it
after having a kid
it's really hard so if you kill him no big deal
like he didn't say that
he said it's so unnatural
it is a curse when they do such a thing
it's a curse for a woman
that's tender and delicate
to turn against their own children
and to slaughter them
in such a gruesome evil satanic way
you know this is a curse on our nation
go to Proverbs chapter 14 for a moment
go to Proverbs chapter 14
and I want to look at some more verses on this
but you know in America
unfortunately you know
I'm not trying to pit the sexes against each other
or say that women are quote worse than men
because I don't believe that
but what I do believe is that women
have a certain role in society
and when they usurp that position in society
you know there's consequences
and the bible warns about there being a curse on a society
when the women are in charge
when women are ruling over men
when women have just yielded all this power
that they're not supposed to have
and in America
if you just look at voting only
women are 64 percent for abortion being legal
whereas men are 55 percent
so again you know you could argue
that even if women were not allowed
to vote in our country
abortion would still be legal potentially
because 55 percent of men
are in support of it being legal in some cases
okay as far as identifying yourself as pro-choice
61 percent of women identify as pro-choice
41 percent of men are identifying themselves as pro-choice
and I would I would assume most of those men
their wives told them that they were that way
all right
for voting democrat 53 percent of women vote for democrat
46 percent of men
now here's the thing when it comes to politics like
it's not like voting republican makes you good
and voting democrat makes you bad
because let's just be honest
the republican party is of satan too
okay but here's the thing
on this specific issue that we're talking about
and slaughtering children
the democrats by and large are more in favor of that position
and that's often a reason why many people vote democrat
is because of this single issue
I've seen many videos and many people just openly declaring
like the only reason I vote democrat
is because they're pro-choice
or because of their stance on abortion specifically
and so that's the only reason I would bring that up
you know as far as other aspects of being a democrat
or other reasons to be a democrat versus republican or whatever
I don't really care
but for sake of our conversation this morning
there's a curse on our nation
when so many people are just so bloodthirsty
that they want to slaughter children
they want to kill children
and you know what
why do you not care about babies being killed
I mean as a parent the idea of your children being killed
is one of the worst nightmares you could possibly think of
you know
so think about other people's children and care a little bit
care about the slaughtering that's happening in our country
and realize that hey there's a curse on our nation
you know before we can solve any issue
we have to just identify the problem
we have to realize there is a problem in America
there's a problem in our country
there's a problem in society
there's a problem in our culture
there's a problem where women are wanting to slaughter their children
why they want that to be the law
why they want to have these things happen
and not even necessarily just before the womb
even after the womb
well it just we should stand with her anyways
because having kids is too hard or something
you know this is this is a satanic agenda
whether abortions are acceptable
61% of women say yes
only 41% of men say yes
you know this is a curse on our nation
and there is a major major issue
look at Proverbs 14 verse 1
every wise woman built their house
but the foolish plucked it down with her hands
and you know unfortunately
we look at someone like Lindsay Clancy
or other women that have recently done this
not only is this a metaphor
this is literal
and a sense that they have literally plucked down their house
with their own bare hands
Lindsay Clancy strangled her own children with her bare hands
I mean she used instruments as well
but I'm just saying that like this is grotesque
this is evil
this is horrific
you know as a nation we should be sad
at what's happened
we should be sad that there's so many people
that are acting like it's not a big deal
or acting like it should be excused
or acting like it's pardonable
or acting like it's not something that should be
met with extreme justice
you know it's a curse on our nation
and we've seen so many people
that are an embodiment of this attitude
of this heart
look at Malachi chapter four
it's almost the New Testament
basically right before the book of Matthew
so if you're in Matthew you just flip back
just a few pages and you're in Malachi
it's the last book of the Old Testament
and it's kind of a warning signal
that the Bible brings up
but it's a scary place
when you live in a society
where parents don't love their children
or vice versa
but notice what it says in Malachi chapter four
verse number six
says this is the last verse of the Old Testament
I mean this is it
don't you think that would be important
the last words that God has to mankind
in the Old Testament
Malachi chapter four verse six
and he shall turn the heart of the fathers
to the children
and the heart of the children to their fathers
lest I come and smite the earth with a curse
so the Bible is saying
hey if the parents do love their children
that's a good thing
but if they don't
what is God saying
He's going to curse the earth
and let me say something
when America and its parents
have turned against the children
God's cursing America for doing so
God will curse America
for women like Lindsey Clancy
doing what she did
and not seeing justice
for women committing abortion
and not seeing justice
for abortion doctors
to exist in our society
and not see justice
that is going to cause God
to curse our nation
and to curse our country
and to curse our land
and you know what it's evil
I want to go back to Deuteronomy
go back to Deuteronomy chapter 19
I'm just trying to prove this
in every direction possible
this is a curse
I don't want you to just
think oh no
it's just one case
or one scenario
it's not a big deal
no God is mad at a nation
God is mad at an area
that will not serve justice
and you know what
this did happen in Massachusetts
which is a pretty liberal area
maybe
maybe other states would not have
handled the situation this way
okay
and you know what
I would hope that Texas
or other states
would not have done this kind of crazy
particular situation
and if people were in a jury
from Texas
maybe it would be different
I don't know
I can't necessarily say
but I'll also say this
I wouldn't be entirely surprised
if it was a hung jury in Texas
maybe not 11 to 1
but maybe 3 to 9
but even if it was just 1
I mean that's enough
to have a similar result
and I'm telling you
this is a scary place to be in
when we will not serve justice
and we're just allowing
this curse to permeate our culture
because look
it's it's bad
but did you read the curse
it can get worse
it can get way worse
and there was a lot of curses
I didn't read
but there's a lot of curses
happening to our nation
and we cannot just sit here
and allow this stuff to go unchecked
Deuteronomy chapter 19
look at verse 11
but if a man ate his neighbor
and lying wait for him
and rise up against him
and smite him mortally
that he die
and flee then one of these cities
the elders of his city
shall sin and fetch him
thence and deliver him
in thy hand of the avenger
of blood that he may die
thine eye shall not pity him
but thou shalt put away
the guilt of innocent blood
from Israel
that it may go wealthy
you are not allowed
to have someone go to a sanctuary city
that's guilty of premeditated murder
the bible says
you have to slaughter this person
you are not allowed to pity them
it doesn't say
well
but she was having a hard time
or
well it was difficult
or she took drugs
or she didn't take drugs
or whatever
it's like no
it's just hey
if you committed
premeditated murder
you deserve the death penalty
and if you don't give it
well then you know what
God is going to hold you guilty
for innocent blood
and even if they did find a sanctuary city
we as a nation
should be like
you know what
this isn't be tolerated
and that person needs to be with the death
and you know
this would be something where
unfortunately
honestly if our federal government
was going to usurp
its authority
or
overstretch its authority on states
it would be something like this
saying hey
we can't allow states
to not execute the death penalty
and so y'all need to actually
execute the death penalty
because you know
we have all kinds of times
where the federal government
has stepped in
and done this kind of stuff
you know where they said
well some states are
not enforcing
you know slavery
and some are
and so we had a big push
to basically
from a federal perspective
you know end and abolish slavery
well a lot of people would say
that was a good thing
that we have forced that
on many states
the states are supposed to be sovereign
our federal government
supposed to be limited
but in some cases
they say hey
we have to have equal enforcement of the law
as a nation
as a country
in these circumstances
and you know what
if a state
will not put
murderers to death
premeditated murder
honestly from a federal perspective
I think they have the precedent
to actually enforce that
and you know what the bible is saying
you cannot allow
well that city does it
no big deal
no no no
as a nation
as a country
you're supposed to say
we don't allow any sanctuary cities
for premeditated murder
they do allow sanctuary cities
for manslaughter
and that's a different category
and we can talk about that later
if you do accidental manslaughter
the bible has a precedent
for sanctuary city
but for
premeditated murder
you deserve the death penalty
that's the justice
and you know what
as a nation
we should be condemning
any area
any country
any state
any jurisdiction
that will not uphold the law
and do what's right
I think massachusetts
has already gotten rid of the death penalty anyways
which I just
I can't even fathom
I don't even understand
how you would do such a thing
but
go to psalm 106
you know think about this
we will not put a serial killer to death
in some states
someone could be a literal serial killer
we will not put them to death
but they can
go into a hospital
and just kill a baby
right
they can go into some clinic
some plan parenthood clinic
and just literally
murder an innocent child
innocent baby
in its womb
that's fine
but we couldn't put a serial killer to death
it's they're not against death
they're not against killing things
it's just like
we don't kill the serial killer
don't kill the rapist
don't kill the murderer
kill unborn children
I mean this is insane the culture that we live in
and again it's a curse
because of the mindset
that's affecting American
infecting Americans
and affecting people
and you know unfortunately
a lot of people are soft on this issue
they're soft on this issue
because they've been lied to
because media and culture
and all these things
have been lying to people
satan is going full time
trying to get everybody to believe
this nonsense
and believe lies
and it's worked
and there's a heart
that's against the things of god
and against the bible
but you know what
you came to a church this morning
where we actually believe the bible
and so we're going to read the bible
that's right
look at Psalm 106
look at verse 136
I'm sorry verse 36
sorry just verse 36
and they served their idols
which were a snare under them
yea they sacrificed their sons
and their daughters onto devils
and shed innocent blood
even the blood of their sons
and of their daughters
whom they sacrificed
on the idols of Canaan
and the land was polluted with blood
thus were they defiled
with their own works
and went a whoring
with their own inventions
therefore was the wrath of the lord
kindled against his people
in so much that he abhorred
his own inheritance
notice there's a
multiplicity of issues here
but one of the issues
is sacrificing their children
to false gods
and you know even today
if you ask many abortion doctors
and many people committing these
atrocities they'll say
yea I'm doing this for satan
and whether they're saying that
ingest or not I don't really care
because they are in a sense
and you know what it's wicked
it's wicked and it's a satanic agenda
and I don't care if you have an idol there
or not
slaughtering a child is wicked
it's evil
it's one of the worst things imaginable
and you know what it makes God mad
it makes God so mad
that he says he's gonna have wrath
against his people
wrath against his people
that's a curse against his people
oh well we're saved
we're Christian
or whatever God would never be mad at us
nope he said did you read the bible
I read it
therefore was the wrath of Lord kindled
against his people
he doesn't say here
that he's mad
at people that are not his
or just the bad people
he said his people
because you know what
God can still get mad at a Christian
God can still get mad at his people
when they're allowing
children to be slaughtered
and killed
or they commit such a grievous sin
God can still be mad at you
and you know I'm not gonna lie to you
people that commit abortion
that made God very angry
now look could someone be forgiven
sure
but at the end of the day
we can't we can't say that
God wasn't mad about it
you know if the children of Israel said
God we're sorry
God we repent
God we're gonna turn away from our idols
and we're gonna turn away from
all this slaughtering of children
and we're gonna go back to the Lord
in many cases he indicates
he would forgive them
heal their land
and fix the issue
but we can't sit here and pretend
that God isn't mad at it
we can't pretend that God isn't gonna
pour out his wrath
on people
that are performing these works
or tolerating these works
accepting these works
Leviticus chapter 20 makes it clear
when people are doing this
and we turn our eye away
then God's gonna hold us guilty as well
and I'm not gonna go for there
for a second time
there's there's too much to be said
but I want to go to
Matthew 24 now
in the New Testament
and I want to give a warning because
you know
what we've been talking about
is a curse on the children of Israel
that I see happening in America as well
so we have
the curse brought up in the law
we see it fulfilled
specifically in 2 Kings chapter 6
where this literally happens
and then of course
I believe it's a prophetic warning
against any nation that would do
similar activities
but it's also warning about the end times
and how we're gonna see
our culture
and the world
basically under the curse of God
and performing a lot of these
evil wicked acts as well
and the Bible warns
that there will be coming a day
when men will be like this
look at Matthew chapter 24
and I want to look at
verses 8 through 10
now
we're gonna go back to 2 Kings as well
but I just kind of want to
look at some end times here
look at Matthew 24
look at verse 8
all these are the beginning of sorrows
then shall they deliver you up
to be afflicted
and shall kill you
and you should be hated
of all nations for my namesake
and then shall many be offended
and shall betray one another
and shall hate one another
now
go to Luke 21
we're gonna see a parallel
it tells us that a lot of people
are gonna hate us
or hate the disciples of Christ
now in Luke 21
it gets even more specific about this
look at verse number 16
Luke 21 verse 16 it says
and ye shall be betrayed
both by parents
and brethren
and kinsfolk
and friends
and some of you
so they cause we put the death
and ye shall be hated of all men
for my namesake
so we see a curse that's kind of a
prophecy in the book of Malachi
about hey when parents
are turned against their children
and children are turned against
their parents
he's gonna come and curse the earth
and he wants
you know John the Baptist
was supposed to turn the hearts
of the parents back to the children
and turn the children's hearts
back to their parents
so that God would not curse the land
but when we have
just this animosity
when we have this angst
between parents and children
back and forth
well then God curses a nation
and curses a country
and curses the world
as a result of doing so
I mean one of the biggest commandments
in the bible
is to honor thy father and mother
and that determines the length of your life
this is the first commandment
given a promise
you know parents
should love their children
children should love their parents
this is natural
this is normal
and it's a curse
when this is not happening
and the end times is a cursed time
it's a cursed generation
it's a cursed group of people
where you have parents
rising up against their children
you have children
rising up against their parents
putting them to death
and you know as a country
we should see this as a warning sign
and say hey
we shouldn't allow this
we shouldn't tolerate this
we shouldn't be championing this
we shouldn't be encouraging this
we should be speaking against this
we should try to slow that down
we should try to prevent that
in our generation
but it does
it is gonna eventually happen
look at 2nd Timothy chapter 3
go to 2nd Timothy chapter 3
and what's interesting is
we see a destruction of the family
in the end times
so we see it in previous generations
previous examples
but it's like
what's interesting is how
first it's parents against children
and children against parents
and then everybody just starts blaming Christians
it's like everybody just goes against Christians
and the Bible warns about this
look at 2nd Timothy chapter 3 verse 1
also done in the last days
perilous times shall come
the word perilous means dangerous
dangerous
for men should be lovers of their own selves
covetous boasters proud blasphemers
notice this
disobedient to parents
and the next word really seems to fit
unthankful
you know why a lot of children
disobey their parents
they're just very unthankful
for what their parents have done for them
changing all their diapers
feeding them loving them
clothing them being there for them
you know how many times does the kids vomit
and you have to clean it up
I don't want to clean that up
I mean just all the heartache
all the woe all the care
all the worry
I mean my wife worries about her kids
more than I can even think
she just tells me only the thought
she has for our kids
and I'm thinking like
I haven't even had that many thoughts
let alone about the kids
like I don't even think that much
I mean she cares so much more than I do
she'll be like all last night
I had a hard time sleeping
because I was just thinking about the kids
and worried about this
she's like what about you
and I'm just like
I just went to sleep
I don't know I'm just like whatever
and it's not that I don't love my children
I'm just trying to say by comparison
I mean the thoughts and the care
and the attention and the love
that my wife has for my kids
it cannot be matched
it's normal it's natural
it's what should be happening
it's sad and it's grievous
that children would not appreciate that
and be unthankful
for all the love and care and attention
that parents have for their children
and even if you didn't have the best parents in the world
even if your parents weren't the greatest
even if your parents made mistakes
look you needed so much care and attention
for those first few years of your life
you should just be thankful period
and it doesn't even matter anything else
just that alone
because you wouldn't even be here
and it gets worse
it says unholy
and notice this verse 3
without natural affection
and we see that
we're seeing more of this
we're seeing an escalation of this
where women are not having a natural affection
for children
for their own children
but rather have turned against their children
look at them as a burden
look at them as a
as a curse under themselves
as something holding them back
and look it's not to say that children
don't have their hardships
don't have their difficulties
because they do
but that shouldn't be the only way
you look at something
you know some people
would say I love my job
but that's not because the job isn't work
it is work
but they're just appreciative that they have that job
they're appreciative that they have that work
and so yeah children are work
but you know what we shouldn't be looking at it
like it's just work
we should be looking at it like it's a blessing
to get to have that work
it's a blessing to have that job
it's a blessing to have that opportunity
and not having this attitude of like
ah it's just such a burden
ah it's just so it's so bad
you know this is a
this is the wrong attitude
and it's showing a lack of natural affection
which is a warning of the end times
I want to go back to 2nd Kings chapter 6
so we've identified a few things
number one we've identified
that when women and men
are turned against their children
it's a result of God cursing a nation
and when
children are being slaughtered
and there's no justice served
God is going to pour out his wrath
and curse on a nation that does so
and we've seen that in the end times
that's what it's going to be like
it's going to be a very difficult
difficult time to be in
I don't know how rampant that's going to be
I don't know how widespread that's going to be
you know unfortunately we already see it happening
and escalating
I mean there's not a lot
in my mind holding us back
from even entering into an end time scenario
I you know I do believe personally
that we'll probably see another temple being built
I do think that we'll see animal sacrifices return
and so personally I don't think that it can happen
anytime in the next few years at all
and I'm not even planning that it's going to happen
in my lifetime
I plan to live to be 100
okay
so I don't want you to get a weird idea
I grew up in a church
where I thought the end times are going to happen
every second
because that's what the preacher said
they're like it could happen right now
there was a guy I saw at a kids conference
in California
saying that it was extremely extremely
extremely extremely likely
that Jesus was coming back before he finished his sermon
I mean that
I mean just why are you striking fear
into children's hearts like that
and such an unfounded fear
and such a lie
and such a strange idea and concept
but I remember so many times
as a child
praying like
can I pleasantly get married
you know I was like
can you just wait
because I was just
I really desired to have a wife
and have a family
and I just I really I
wanted to grow up a little bit
and to get to be on my own
and I think especially as I become
a teenager and stuff
you have a strong desire
to be on your own
and be married
and have a family of your own
it's just exciting
and it is exciting
it's fun
and so I just remember just thinking like
oh man
it's scary
and there's always problems in the Middle East
there's always problems with Israel
whatever
and I just thought
oh the rapture could happen at any second
it was it was funny
because there was this one time where
we were having
extended family come into town
it's like my sister and whole
her family came into town
and we just have everybody at the house
and it was just like a huge
gathering
family gathering
and we couldn't find my mom
and it was weird
it was like
why would you not
like my mom is like
the the central unit to the family
she's always cooking
she's always in the kitchen
we couldn't find her
and it's been like hours
and this is like the weirdest thing like
you're at a family function
to not find mom in the middle of a day
and I just remember some people in our family being like
did she get raptured
and all of us are left behind
I'm just like
no that's stupid
you know
but like they thought
and she just
she had just
taken a plate of food to our neighbor
who was like an elderly lady
and the lady had roped her into
like a several hour long conversation
and she just felt bad
and she didn't tell anybody
so I mean she had just
I mean we're just like
did she get kidnapped
I mean like
what happened
because it was just so crazy
but it was just funny
that again
it was it was something that was on our minds like
did she get raptured
because you know
I guess the pre-tribbers
they just think
anything could be the rapture
and they're always scared or whatever
that's crazy
okay
and I don't think that we should live
on the edge
of our lives
like we just think
that the end is coming
just every second
every moment
but the bible does tell us to watch
and the bible does say
hey there's gonna be an escalation
but I believe
that when we're in the end times
we won't be wondering
okay I don't think
that we'll be wondering
or curious
I think it's gonna be so evident
we don't even need to ask the question
okay so don't get so worried
don't don't
stop living your life
live your life okay
but at the end of the day
I do also believe that if
if christians by and large
just kind of let go
of christianity
that we just
we might as
this is like
pressing the accelerator
on the end times
or something
and why would you want to do that
you know
we should might as well
try to stay off the curses
of god and our nation
and for your family as well
but in 2 Kings chapter 6
we read a little bit here
look at verse 29 again
so we boiled my son and did eat him
and I said on earth on the next day
give thy son that we may eat him
and she had hit her son
and it came to pass when the king
heard the words of the woman
that he rent his clothes
and he passed by upon the wall
and the people looked and behold
he had sat cloth within upon his flesh
now
his initial reaction sounds great
because he's he's upset
he's like I mean
can you imagine hearing this
you're the king
and your your own people
are eating their children
I mean just just the sadness
this is a sad state of affairs
this is the obvious curse on their nation
but then look what
this is his response
verse 31
then he said
God do so and more also to me
if the head of Elisha
the son of Shefat
shall stay on him this day
what the heck
a woman says
I I boiled my son and ate him
please help me eat someone else's son
and he's like
let's kill the preacher
let's kill a man of God
how does that even make sense
it's like
hey let's go back to the law
and let's read Deuteronomy 28
because they had the law
the king was supposed to even
write himself a copy of the law
he could go back and say like
oh wow God's cursing us
because we're not obeying him
maybe we should listen
to the man of God
that's been telling us
to repent as a nation
and to get right with God as a nation
but no
he hardens his heart
and actually turns against
the man of God even more
and you know what's sad
is you have people
getting up and condemning Lindsay Clancy
and condemning premeditated murder
and you know who they get mad at
they get mad at the preacher
not the woman that slaughtered her children
the man of God that gets up and says
hey
this deserves the death penalty
this deserves punishment
this is something that should not go unchecked
and of course one of the
the platforms
social media platforms
that specifically has escalated
this rhetoric is TikTok
and I tried to post a video
on there
just saying that she deserves the death penalty
it immediately violated
their community guidelines
and they just took it down
which again is just a reflection
of what's happening
in our culture and society
you say what the bible says
you're banned
you go on there
and you advocate for women
to follow in footsteps
of Lindsay Clancy
you're praised
and you get all kinds of views
because there's a satanic agenda
by the internet
by social media companies
by the people that run them
and yes we all know they wear tiny hats
I get it
but I'm just saying
that yes
because they're the synagogue of satan
because they're the ministers of satan
and a satan's agenda
to slaughter children
but isn't it interesting
they turn against the man of God
and let me say something
in the end times
it's going to be nothing different
that there'll be a
a grievous nation
that are killing their own children
worshiping idols
going after false gods
and christians saying
hey you shouldn't do that
and they're going to turn against you
and they're going to hate you
and they're going to get mad at you
for believing the bible
but you know what
choose you this day
whom you're going to serve
now I do have some good news
Good Isaiah chapter three
if you would
Good Isaiah chapter three
because you know
if we can't write this ship
as a nation
which is probably not going to happen
but if we can't
that doesn't mean
that you as an individual
cannot still
be blessed as an individual
okay
and I want to go to Isaiah
because this is a precursor
to what happened
in 2 Kings chapter six
this is a precursor
and a warning
and God's kind of talking about
the nation already being bad
and why he's going to end up judging them
but Isaiah chapter three
looking verse one
for behold the Lord
the Lord of hosts
that take away from Jerusalem
and from Judah
the stay and the staff
the whole stay of bread
and the whole stay of water
so this is like
talking about famine
the coming
the mighty man
the man of war
the judge
and the prophet
and the prudent
and the ancient
the captain of 50
and the honorable man
and the counselor
and the cunning
artificer
and the eloquent orator
he says
what is this group
he's saying
I'm going to take these people away
okay
so you're not going to have
a mighty man ruling your nation
you're not going to have man of war
you're not going to have judges
you're not going to have prophets
you're not going to have prudent
you're not going to have ancients
you're not going to have captain of 50
you're not going to have honorable men
you're not going to have counselors
you're not going to have skilled
businessmen
you're not going to have eloquent
speakers
Now, again, it's not saying that these people don't exist in society.
It's saying these people are not the ones in charge.
These are the ones not ruling.
These are the ones not having the power.
Who has the power?
Verse four, and I will give children to be their princes and babes shall rule.
So it's like instead of having the strong guy, the smart guy, the hard worker, the
true businessman, a man of God, a preacher that's in charge of the nation, that's
ruling the nation.
You're going to have a child ruling the nation, a child like Nick Fuentes.
You're going to have a child like Mr.
Beast. You're going to have children in our nation that are wielding all of this
power and influence and just making the culture what it is.
You're not going to have people listening to an actual man of God, to an
actually person that actually worked hard or earned a living, or is someone
that you should be looking to, or a smart, wise old man.
You know, we're not listening to Ron Paul, we're listening to Mr.
Beast.
We're not listening to someone that we should be giving respect to.
It just, it just doesn't exist in our society.
He says in verse five, and the people shall be oppressed, everyone by another.
You know, you know what this made me think of?
And this is my first thought, okay?
Whether you agree or not, I'm not going to, I'm not trying to piss me
off, but you know what I thought?
Is how every single cash register now has a tip option.
We're just going to press each other, we, we, we can't even serve one
another without a tip, right?
It's like the gas station guy, I have to tip him?
Like what?
And you know, in times past, they used to pump your gas for you without a tip.
Now, they do nothing for you behind a glass, you know, plate or whatever,
and it's smelly and dirty in there.
And you know, to use the bathroom is like an experience.
Okay.
And I have to tip this person?
Like this is a weird, we're just oppressing one another.
And everybody's charging usher to everyone.
And you know, use a credit card.
It's 3% added on, surcharges.
You go to, I mean, talk about oppression, just rent a hotel.
And then look at the thing, it's just like, this tax and this tax
and this service tax, and you're just like, what the heck?
It's like, it's $99 a night.
And then it's like, you get the bill, it's $215.
Like, what the heck?
Why?
Just like all these different taxes and fees.
You know, every company's being like this right now.
Every company is just jacking up the fees and the rates
and the surcharges and the whatever.
And just we're all just oppressing each other.
And we're all just ripping each other off.
And we're all charging usher to everybody.
And every company is charging usher to everyone.
And it's just, we're just all just state, just everybody,
just oppressing every other person.
Just full of oppression.
It says, everyone by his neighbor, the child shall behave
himself proudly against the ancient and the base against the honorable.
Meaning, kids think they're smarter than their parents.
Kids think they're better than older people.
And look, of course, because of technology, this attitude
has really escalated.
Kids think because they understand how TikTok works
or something or Snapchat, that they're so much smarter
than their parents or something.
It's like, oh, you don't know how to click and flip
and switch and whatever on this stupid app.
And it's like, no.
And it's like, oh, you're so stupid.
Let me take an embarrassing photo of myself and send it to my friends
that's going to haunt me for the rest of my life
because I'm so much smarter than my parents.
And it's like, my parents don't even know how to do that.
My parents don't know how to permanently embarrass themselves
for all time on this stupid app called Snapchat.
They're so dumb.
But you know what they don't realize is there's a great wisdom
that comes with being older.
We've been through life circumstances
that you don't even realize.
And in many cases, parents are so much smarter than their children
and they won't realize until they become their parents.
And they'll be like, wow, my parents were so much smarter
than I thought.
So much, they had so much more wisdom than I realized.
And I was, I had a bad attitude.
I had a bad spirit.
But you know what?
The child should behave himself proudly against the ancient.
I mean, this is just, this is an example
of what can happen as a nation.
And, and of course it's a curse to have children ruling over you.
But, but not only curse for, for women, or I'm sorry,
for children, but also women.
Look at verse 11.
It says, woe unto the wicked, it shall be ill with him,
for the ward of his hands shall be given him.
As for my people, children are the oppressors
and women rule over them.
O my people, they which leave thee causly to air
and destroy the way of thy paths.
Now, someone might say, oh, you're a sexist for saying,
having women rulers is a bad thing.
But I'm just reading what the Bible said.
God has said that.
God said, and women rule over them.
And then it says, what happens?
They leave thee causly to air and destroy the way of thy paths.
So he's saying, when you, when you elevate women
in these positions of authority, then it's going to destroy you.
Now, let's be honest.
There's plenty of great women in this world.
And you know, the Proverbs 31 is talking about a great woman.
But let's be honest.
Do you think the woman who's busy having a husband,
raising a whole bunch of kids and taking care of her household
is going to the one that's going to elevate
to the positions of power and authority?
Or is it going to be the woman that slaughtered all her kids
or decided not to have kids or whatever?
That's just a boss babe.
And so, of course, that's the type of woman
that usually is in power, a Hillary Clinton,
some kind of like an Ellen degenerate,
some kind of a Hollywood actress that gets up and brags
was Michelle Williams brags about committing abortion
so she can get an Emmy, some golden statue.
Oh, we don't have idols.
People aren't sacrificing their children to idols.
And the Michelle Williams gets up and says,
hey, look at this golden idol that I have.
And the only reason I could even have it
is because I killed my child.
We need to be pro-choice and tells that to all of America
and tells that to millions of young women today.
How is that any different?
What's the difference there?
Some golden man statue that she says she had to
slaughter her children in order to receive.
How is it any different?
It's the same attitude, it's the same spirit
that we see happening in our culture and it's gross.
It's gross when you allow women to slaughter their children
and then elevate themselves into positions of power
and authority in our nation and they are going to
lead thee and cause thee to err
and destroy your country, destroy everything about you.
I said there was positive news.
I haven't gotten there, okay?
It's in this chapter.
We skipped it, all right?
Look at verse 10.
Say ye to the righteous, that it should be well with him.
For they shall eat the fruit of the doings.
So this is the positive message of the Sorm Room this morning.
Hey, as a nation, we need to realize we're under a curse of God.
We need to realize there is a feminism disease of the mind
in America right now and is destroying our nation.
And we should be seeking God as a nation.
We should be repenting as a nation.
We should be turning back to the Lord as a nation.
But even if the nation won't as a whole,
we as individuals need to do so.
And if you are righteous, if you repent,
if you get right with the Lord, well, you know what?
It can be well with you, even in the midst of destruction.
Because he's talking about, hey, this is a horrific time
and there's all these evils and there's children oppressing
and there's women ruling and there's all this crazy nonsense.
Say ye to the righteous.
He doesn't say you're doomed too.
He says, hey, it'll be well with you because you're going
to be awarded according to your works.
So you know what?
You can still live in Goshen while you're living in the midst
of a crooked and perverse nation.
And you know what?
That should be a positive message because unfortunately
when I look at America, there's not a lot of positives.
But here's the positive.
God's word still works and God can still bless you
in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation.
And so you know what?
You need to, as men and as women and as families,
we need to observe God's law here.
Now I have a few charges to the men because unfortunately,
you know, it's kind of their fault, in a sense,
of why we're in this situation.
Go to Proverbs 31.
And if America were to fix itself, it needs to start with the men.
And I want to prove this biblically.
But you know, the Bible says for fathers to not prostitute
thy daughter, lest it causes the whole land to fall to hoard them.
And so, you know, one of the things that we need to do as men
is we need to realize that we're in charge.
Congratulations, you're in charge.
Don't give your power and authority to someone else.
Look at Proverbs 31 and look what it says in verse number three.
Give not thy strength unto women,
nor thy ways that was destroyed the kings.
Did he say, hey, women are in charge?
Ask them nicely to be put back in charge.
No, men are already in charge.
But what he did say is don't give your strength unto them.
Don't give your power and authority unto them.
We need to realize we're in control and unfortunately many men
have decided to give their power and authority to women.
And we need to not do that.
I mean, this is a command of the Bible.
As a man, as a king, as a nation,
we should not give our strength unto women.
OK. Now, good.
If you would have first Timothy chapter two,
go to first to me chapter two.
I'm trying to prove these points.
So if you get offended, you're just offended to the Bible this morning.
But I'm trying to be honest with you
that this is what the Bible clearly teaches.
And men need to not give their strength unto women.
And what would be that?
That would be feminism. OK.
Now, I basically just have three quick points that I'm going to outlay.
This is what men as Americans and men as individuals need to do.
But we need to reject feminism.
And this is I'm talking the attitude, the mentality.
We need to say, no, we're in charge and we're the men.
Because what is feminism?
Feminism is trying to say there should be equality between the sexes.
And we should say, no,
men are in charge.
It's that it's that simple.
First time in the chapter two, verse 11,
let the woman learn in silence is all subjection,
but I suffer not a woman to teach,
nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
This is saying we should put feminism in its place
and make feminism feminine again.
Hey, you want to be a feminine woman, praise God,
but you cannot be a man. You're not a man.
You'll never be a man.
And so we need men to be in charge.
We need men to be an authority
and we need men to not give their strength unto women.
And one of those ways was the 19th Amendment
of allowing women to vote.
And look, I'm not I'm not saying that women couldn't vote correctly
because I'm sure they can.
But by and large, when you give women this opportunity,
you're surping the authority over the man and it's unbiblical.
OK, this is the first wave of feminism.
The first wave of feminism is to give them the opportunity
to vote on property contracts, education, all these different things
where they're making their own decisions
apart from what their husband or father wanted.
And you know what it put them where they're flipping the roll
and they get to make these decisions for themselves.
And that is the first wave.
And let me say this, there are many people that say,
oh, the first wave is good. I say it's wrong.
OK, and you know what it really did is it killed marriage.
The first wave of feminism killed marriage
because it now no longer put the man in charge.
It has the woman being able to make whatever decisions she wants.
The second wave was basically in the 60s and 80s,
which was my body, my choice,
which is killing their children through abortion.
The first wave killed the marriage.
The second wave killed the children.
The third wave was DEI, so that killed the workplace.
The fourth wave I'm seeing right now is Lindsey Clancy,
which is killing the law.
And if we get the fifth wave, we'll just kill the nation.
And we've killed marriage, we've killed children,
we've killed the workplace, we've killed the law.
At this point, there's not much left to destroy a nation.
And we're really close.
And what we need as men is to say, hey, you know what?
Before we just let the train go off the tracks,
before we just let everything get destroyed,
we need to go back and seek God and seek God's roles in life
and say, oh, God said to not give our strength under women.
We need to resume control of our nation.
And we need to be back in charge and submit to God
and humbly ask God to forgive us for getting out of control.
You know, Adam ate of the apple and it was wrong.
And, you know, I'm not going to prove this,
but in Numbers chapter 30, I can prove this really clear
in the Bible that if a woman makes a vow,
and her husband or father says no, then God says no.
I mean, what more authority do you need?
And of course, that's what it was like before the first wave of feminism,
that the husband and the father had a final veto in these affairs
and that women could not make those decisions without the blessing
or support of their husband or their father.
And I believe that is the right way to have a society.
OK, you can get mad at me all you want,
but that's what men need to do.
Men need to not be afraid of women and need to say, hey,
God put you in this role and we need to exercise our authority
and I'm not going to give my strength under you.
The second way you do not give your strength under them is fornication.
Men in America need to stop committing fornication.
And it's destroying our society.
You know, men control all the power and all the wealth and everything.
If men said, hey, you're not in charge
and I'm not going to commit fornication with you,
women would lose their power in this country.
You know why women yield power in our country?
Well, number one, we've given the right to vote
and we've given them positions of authority in our country, literally.
Then secondly, they yield the fornication power over men.
It's Samson and Delilah, folks.
Samson, a strong man, he yielded his strength unto this woman, Delilah.
And she took advantage of it.
If he was only going to marry a woman and stay faithful to her
that loved God, that couldn't even happen.
But unfortunately, by chasing horrors, by chasing adultery, by chasing these things,
men give their power unto women and they give them an inordinate amount
of power and influence.
I mean, there's a lot of women that don't want to work.
So what do they do?
They just sell their bodies online.
Yeah.
It's just a button they can press.
But what if that button was taken away?
Well, they would figure out the power imbalance, the power struggle,
the fact that they can't provide for themselves.
But because men are just giving out their money to horrors right now online,
which is insane.
It's literally insane.
And we're destroying our nation and our country.
I mean, we should make prostitution and online smut illegal tomorrow.
And look, it's not that it's not a temptation.
That's the whole reason we need to shut it down.
It is a temptation.
It's like, hey, let's build a huge fortress around this tree in the center
of the garden so we don't eat it, right?
It's like, it's not that this isn't a temptation.
It's not that men, even good men, won't fall for that temptation.
That's the whole reason we do need to shut it down.
And we do need to have a moment of sobriety.
And we do need to say no to that kind of stuff.
And you know what?
Men need to stop this.
Men need to stop giving their power and wealth under hordom,
under fortification, under adultery.
We want to sit here and blame Lindsey Clancy for our nation going bad.
But okay, how about men stop committing so much fortification
and going after hordom so much?
How about men stop giving them all this power and authority?
I mean, it's crazy.
I have so many verses on this, but you know, for a second time,
I'm just going to give you my last point.
Here's the last thing you need to do is you need to not go
to a church that's feminist, and this would solve our problems.
If men would say we're going to reject feminism,
we're not going to allow that in our society anymore.
It's over.
No more 19th Amendment, no more power, no more influence.
None of this stuff, it's gone.
Number two, they don't commit fortification and adultery.
They get married to one woman and they're faithful to her.
And then they decide, hey, we're going to shut
down every church that's advocating feminist principles.
We would solve our nation.
We would fix our nation.
I'm not saying that this is hyperbole.
I'm saying this is real.
If men in America would get more interested in solving
this feminism problem than football season,
then whatever nonsense, getting drunk every single night,
then you know what?
It's like how many kids have to be killed for the men
to wake up in our country and to take back control
of our country.
I mean, we're being just flooded with all kinds
of Muslims and all kinds of Hindus and all kinds
of Catholics and all kinds of false religion.
And we're allowing all of our politicians
to be influenced by Judaism.
I mean, APEC has so much control and power of our country
and they're the ministers of Satan.
They're anti-Christ.
They hate God.
When will men, when the men of our country wake up
and say, you know what?
No, no to feminism, no to fortification.
And you know what?
No to these feminist pastors.
And let's get specific about what that means.
Any pastor advocating any level of feminism is
the problem in our country.
And you know what?
They're afraid of women.
That's why they won't say what I just said.
Or they'll read a verse, but they won't apply it.
They won't bring the application
that'll actually make people upset.
You know, if you're in a church as a man
that's soft on Lindsey Clancy, you need to leave immediately
and you're the problem for supporting
that and funding that.
You guys want to talk about these non-lenom churches
having all these women overrepresented.
But here's the thing.
They're taking their husband's money
and giving it to that church.
That needs to be shut down now.
Women aren't going to be able to support
these churches by themselves.
They need the men.
You know, if you're in a church
where they're saying women can just leave their husbands,
you need to leave that church immediately.
If you're in a church with a woman pastor,
you need to leave that church immediately.
If you're in a church that worships women,
you need to leave.
That's called Catholicism because they worship Mary.
How are you going to resolve feminism
when you're bowing down to a woman's statue?
You're not.
We need...
Oh, Catholics will save our country.
We need Catholics.
No, we need Catholics to convert to Christianity.
We need Catholics to say,
hey, I'm not going to worship a woman's statue.
I'm going to worship the Lord Jesus Christ,
the man Christ Jesus.
Hey, if you're going to a church where your authority
as a husband is being challenged,
being lessened, you need to leave.
If you're coming in and you're in browbeat
and you're being told,
hey, you need to get this 50-50 partnership
and this marriage, you need to walk lightly.
And hey, if you don't treat your wife perfect,
she can just leave you high and dry.
You need to just leave that church
and leave that kind of preaching.
You should not go to a church
where you're getting snipped behind the pulpit.
I don't want a vasectomy
and I definitely don't want a spiritual vasectomy.
You know what? You should be the king of your castle.
You should be going to a church.
You should praise God there's a church
that you can actually go to
where the pastor isn't going to put you in your place
and put you behind your wife or something
or try to give your wife power over you
when that's unbiblical.
It's satanic. It's feminism.
If divorce is an option in your church,
you need to leave.
I will not go.
And you know what I've noticed?
And this is sad.
There has been a lot of people,
I could point to multiple people,
probably more than one handful of people
that left the new IFB,
that left the church like ours
and then very shortly after,
their wife left them.
Very shortly after they were divorced.
I'm not saying just like,
oh, here's this one random scenario.
I'm saying it's happened to many.
And it wasn't even, in some cases,
it was kind of like, well, it was rocky.
Okay. But in some cases,
there wasn't even an indication that it was bad.
And I'm just telling you, you know what?
Hey, come into a good church.
Has its benefits, folks.
And look, you say, well,
you're just saying you have to get in.
I'm not saying that.
You know what? They usually aren't leaving
the new IFB to go to a better church.
They're usually not leaving our church
to go to a church that's more godly
or less feminist or something.
They're usually going into an institution
that's going to probably advocate for that
or promote that
or you get counseling from the pastor
and they'll just be like, yeah,
he emotionally abandoned you or something.
Whatever that means.
What woman on this planet would say,
my husband understands every single one
of my emotional needs perfectly?
That doesn't even exist.
Okay.
Write a book on explaining women's emotions
and you'll be a billionaire.
Okay.
Because none of us can figure it all out.
Okay. It's just silly.
If you want an excuse, you can have an excuse.
But let me explain something to you.
I don't believe in divorce at all
and I'll never advocate it.
I've never promoted it.
I've never counseled it.
And look, are there people
in really awful marriages?
Sure.
Are there people in this room that have been divorced?
Yeah. I'm not going to point them out.
I'm not going to ask for a raise of hands,
but it'd be a lot more than you'd be surprised
by how many people.
But you know what? Even the divorced people are like,
hey, that's a good advice.
Amen. You're right.
I agree with you.
I wish I had been in a church that was like that.
Hey, maybe I'd still be married
if I was in a church like that.
Or at least I would have taken my marriage more seriously
and not married the wrong person.
Yeah.
You're right.
Hey, if you're in a church where women are dressed
like men, you need to leave.
Yeah.
We're not going to solve our problem
with a bunch of pants, suit wearing,
Ellen DeGeneres, and Hillary Clinton's.
Ellen, right.
And you know what? If you're in a church
where fornication is allowed,
you need to leave that church.
Yeah.
If fornication is allowed, tolerated, is happening,
you know what? That is going to corrupt our youth.
That is going to corrupt the young ones.
And look, I will take people to task on this issue
even if I don't even think it's happening.
But I just feel like I have to address it, okay?
And I've had uncomfortable conversations with people.
And look, I will have them.
Now, do I want to? No.
Do I like doing it? No.
But I will confront people on these issues
and I won't just allow that stuff to go unchecked.
And I don't want a culture and an attitude of like,
oh well, Pastor Shelley preaches really hard.
He's a paper tiger though,
because we were just doing it.
He didn't seem to care.
There was all these red flags
and he didn't even ask us about it.
No, no, no, I'll take you to task, buddy.
Because I don't want to allow it.
I don't want to tolerate it.
And you know what? It's destroying our country.
It's destroying our nation.
And you know what? God's mad at our country.
We're seeing women slaughter their children.
We should be freaking out about this.
We should be like, what is happening?
There's women, just thousands of women in marches.
I mean, do you not have a job?
Like, what are you doing?
Where are your kids?
Where are your sandwiches that you need to be making
that you've just left to go stand outside
in some courthouse wearing pink screaming for Lindsey
as she drives by?
She doesn't care about you.
She'd probably kill you too.
You know what? It's crazy.
I mean, there's these liberals
that are like so loving towards Muslims,
they're sitting over here like,
I'm going to kill you.
Like, you know what?
Like, you're like first on my list.
Like, you know, if Muslims took control
of our country right now, you know that kill first,
probably all the fags and the LGBT that are supporting them.
Probably all the liberals and the freaks
that are like their number one fans,
they'd probably kill them first.
You know, that's what's crazy.
It's crazy how sometimes people are literally inviting
the snake into their own house
and allowing it to bite them.
You know what? We need to reject feminism.
We need to reject fornication.
We need to reject feminist churches.
And here's the good news.
I'm going to say this to the righteous.
If you as a man say,
I'm going to reject this feminist mindset
and I'm not going to tolerate it.
If you say, I'm not going to allow the fornication
in an adult tree to happen for me or my children.
And you say, I'm going to go to a church
that preaches likewise, it can go well with you.
Even in a feminist culture, even in a feminist society.
And I'll be honest,
it's not that there won't be some casualties,
but by and large, you know,
we can write the ship for ourselves at least.
And there is a glimmer of hope for ourselves.
And you know what?
If we set the example,
maybe others could follow like suit.
But you know what?
God's people, when people that are in a church
like ours won't even take this serious,
why would we expect the world to take it serious?
We need to take it serious now.
And you know what?
As a young woman, as a married woman
or whoever you are, as a single lady,
I don't care who you are.
You need to just say, you know what?
God's word is right,
no matter what my life circumstances.
To say, well, the pastor doesn't know about my situation.
Okay, well, God knows about your situation
and these are God's principles.
And you know what?
I can feel empathy for people
that have gone through bad and hardships,
but at the end of the day,
we have to submit to God's word.
If someone committed abortion or divorce
or is a feminist or whatever, you know what?
Hey, change, repent.
I can still love you, God still loves you,
but you need to repent, you need to take this serious.
And we as a nation need to take God's word serious.
Otherwise we're gonna see even more curses on our nation.
We're gonna see worse events happening, escalating.
And at least we need to protect ourselves
by being righteous for ourselves.
Let's close in prayer.
Thank you heavenly father so much for your word.
Thank you so much for giving us a glimmer of hope
that if we will take your word seriously
that we can still have things go well for us.
I pray that you would help us
and not be offended by God's word.
We would not be offended by your instructions.
We would actually be offended by satanic agendas.
We'd be offended by children being killed.
We'd be offended by oppression.
We'd be offended by fornication and adultery.
We'd be offended by abortion.
We'd be offended by liars.
We'd be offended by men that are just too weak
and too soft and too cowardly
to preach what the Bible says.
They'll be offended at all the curses
and all the smut and all the foreign invasion
and all the evil false religion
and all the idolatry that would be offended by that
and we would not be offended by God's word.
I pray that we'd realize that there is a solution.
I pray if possible you could just stir up men's hearts
to have repentance towards God
to care more about the things of God
than things of this world.
And that even if our country won't resolve this issue
at least this church and at least these people
and they would do so and you would bless them.
In Jesus name we pray amen.
