What I noticed with the cars… the door latches and trunk latches were the first to go… and you have a partly toasted car, but the trunk lid’s popped and the door’s popped; There’s an awful lot of them with popped trunk lids; It’s a pretty weird thing to see so many trunk lids open… if somebody’s car’s on fire, they don’t stop and open their trunk lid before they run; At Oklahoma City there’s a bunch of toasted cars with popped trunk lids… missing door handles; Also the cylindrical cutouts that we saw in Building 6… vertically, you know, straight down, cylindrical cutouts in the building… that was also seen in the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City; It does cause a question as to why you have cylindrically cut out buildings from top to bottom if you have an explosion in the street; And the scalloped line around the remaining roof was pretty peculiar; And you have the fuming cars… you know, toasted cars a block away?… it’s pretty bizarre Related article: Facts demand a public challenge to the federal agency’s report Henrik Palmgren from Red Ice Radio interviews Dr. Judy Wood about what the evidence shows happened to the WTC Complex on 9/11… [Part 5 of a 5-part series] Show: Red Ice Radio Full Podcast: Judy Wood – Hour 1 – 9/11 Ten Years Later [...] 3:25 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/31/dr-judy-wood-where-did-the-towers-go-part-4/ http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/31/dr-judy-wood-where-did-the-towers-go-part-4/#comments Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:50:42 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=7579 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/31/dr-judy-wood-where-did-the-towers-go-part-4/feed/ 0 Henrik Palmgren from Red Ice Radio interviews Dr. Judy Wood about what the evidence shows happened to the WTC Complex on 9/11… [Part 4 of a 5-part series] Show: Red Ice Radio Full Podcast: Judy Wood – Hour 1 – 9/11 Ten Years Later Date: 9/11/11 Host: Henrik Palmgren Guest: Dr. Judy Wood Download Dr. Judy Wood Partial transcript: There’s something I had noticed about West Broadway–I called that the swamp, cause it looked like it with all the fire hoses and wet paper and gunk… it looked like a swamp down the street–but, every car… every vehicle… for about four blocks north of the World Trade Center Complex (from Building 7 on north) was toasted; What I mean by “toasted”–not necessarily burned… but it’s toast, it’s history, you can’t repair it, you gotta get another one… you know, something happened to it… kind of looks like it’s burned, but you don’t know what happened to it; All the way… you know, every single one of them up–in some part of them… maybe all of them, maybe part of them–was toasted; No buildings on the side were toasted, no signposts were toasted, no bushy trees overhanging the streets were toasted… paper was unburned, you don’t see any bonfires of paper anywhere;

To see a car half a mile away going into spontaneous combustion is peculiar; Here’s another example… the steel-toed boots; You know people are given an answer, and they run with it… they don’t stop to think if it makes sense, and a lot of those stories got started that way… like you know steel-toed boots melting after a couple hours on the pile cause it’s so hot; As I often say, if my steel oven is melting, the turkey inside is more than well done; But there’s no reports of burned feet, and burned bones, legs getting burned off, or equipment not functioning… but with the number of stories like that, they are observing something; It clearly isn’t what they thought it was, or what they rationalized it as, but something was happening… like the spontaneous combustion of the cars; Of the cars they carted away, there was 1400… is the number given Related article: Facts demand a public challenge to the federal agency’s report Henrik Palmgren from Red Ice Radio interviews Dr. Judy Wood about what the evidence shows happened to the WTC Complex on 9/11… [Part 3 of a 5-part series] Show: Red Ice Radio Full Podcast: Judy Wood – Hour 1 – 9/11 Ten Years Later [...] 2:56 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/27/dr-judy-wood-where-did-the-towers-go-part-2/ http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/27/dr-judy-wood-where-did-the-towers-go-part-2/#comments Sat, 28 Jan 2012 04:20:52 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=7555 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/27/dr-judy-wood-where-did-the-towers-go-part-2/feed/ 0 Henrik Palmgren from Red Ice Radio interviews Dr. Judy Wood about what the evidence shows happened to the WTC Complex on 9/11… [Part 2 of a 5-part series] Show: Red Ice Radio Full Podcast: Judy Wood – Hour 1 – 9/11 Ten Years Later Date: 9/11/11 Host: Henrik Palmgren Guest: Dr. Judy Wood Download Dr. Judy Wood Partial transcript: What happened to Building 5… those are cylindrical holes; Things falling on it wouldn’t leave cylindrical holes that are empty… with nothing in the bottom; Kind of like the middle of Building 6… nothing can make a hole that shape and leave nothing behind; For comparison, let’s say you turned the top 90 stories of Building 1 into dust–blows away at the breeze–so you’re only left with the bottom 20 stories, and drop that to the ground… you get approximately a 2.3 on the Richter scale; If you have 110 story building coming apart, why don’t you have chunks of steel stabbing other buildings above the 18th floor?… there’s only a few of them; For Tower 2 it’s like 16 floors… would make a 2.1… approximately; So this also supports the idea of the building turning to dust; And if you look at the duration of the seismic signals, the building shook–for Tower 1–the ground shook for about 8 seconds… It takes 9.5 seconds to throw a bowling ball of the roof and have it hit the pavement, so there wasn’t enough time even with no resistance for the building to fall to the ground… it couldn’t have fallen and hit the ground; If you’re hammering something like a jackhammer of pancaking… floor by floor breaking up… it’s gonna be a whole lot longer than 20 seconds or so, or 30 seconds… it’s gonna be at least 100 seconds, because it takes time to break stuff; But 8 seconds… again that doesn’t even account for something falling off the roof in free-fall speed… but it’s consistent with the top 90 stories or so turning into dust Related article: Facts demand a public challenge to the federal agency’s report Henrik Palmgren from Red Ice Radio interviews Dr. Judy Wood about what the evidence shows happened to the WTC Complex on 9/11… [Part 2 of a 5-part series] Show: Red Ice Radio Full Podcast: Judy Wood – Hour 1 – 9/11 Ten Years Later [...] 3:08 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/25/dr-judy-wood-where-did-the-towers-go-part-1/ http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/25/dr-judy-wood-where-did-the-towers-go-part-1/#comments Thu, 26 Jan 2012 04:32:29 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=7535 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/25/dr-judy-wood-where-did-the-towers-go-part-1/feed/ 0 Henrik Palmgren from Red Ice Radio interviews Dr. Judy Wood about what the evidence shows happened to the WTC Complex on 9/11… [Part 1 of a 5-part series] Show: Red Ice Radio Full Podcast: Judy Wood – Hour 1 – 9/11 Ten Years Later Date: 9/11/11 Host: Henrik Palmgren Guest: Dr. Judy Wood Download Dr. Judy Wood Partial transcript: There is little to no seismic signature associated with that building [Building 7]; If you drop a building that size to the ground, it’s gonna leave a large seismic signal; The MANY station (this is on p.87 [of her book, "Where Did the Towers Go?"]) you could not pick it out of background noise… as far as you knew, nothing happened–it was a non-event; It’d be… for Towers 1 and 2… somewhere between a 3.2 and a 3.7 [on the Richter Scale]; For Building 7 you should get somewhere between a 2.8 and a 2.9; For Tower 2–that was the first one that went–it was a 2.1, and Tower 1 it was a 2.3; Tower 1 is 30 times the potential energy of the Kingdome… it’s a bigger building, more mass, higher above the ground… the Kingdome was a 2.3; Building 7 was a 0.6; What happened with Building 7… it was less than those quarry blasts [in New Jersey and beyond] or even it didn’t even register… so you start wondering if anything hit the ground; This is evidence; If you blow up a building… if you cut up the columns… however you take the building down… if that mass slams to the ground, you should have a seismic signal; What this shows is that the mass did not slam to the ground… the building didn’t burn up, nor did it slam to the ground… but turned into dust in mid-air; Dust doesn’t make a thud when it hits Related article: Facts demand a public challenge to the federal agency’s report Henrik Palmgren from Red Ice Radio interviews Dr. Judy Wood about what the evidence shows happened to the WTC Complex on 9/11… [Part 1 of a 5-part series] Show: Red Ice Radio Full Podcast: Judy Wood – Hour 1 – 9/11 Ten Years Later [...] 4:29 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/23/ron-paul-in-south-carolina-part-9/ http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/23/ron-paul-in-south-carolina-part-9/#comments Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:55:20 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=7515 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/23/ron-paul-in-south-carolina-part-9/feed/ 0 Ron Paul speaking in my home state of South Carolina… [Part 9 of a 9-part series] Podcast: Ron Paul 2012 Podcast Full Episode: Ron Paul at South Carolina Primary Concession Speech (1/21/2012) Date: 1/21/12 Download Dr. Ron Paul Partial transcript: How do we get away with paying for these bills, and endless spending occurs and government keeps growing?… it cannot occur if you have a sound monetary system; That is why I have emphasized the importance of having a sound dollar and why we need to reign in the Federal Reserve system; If we obeyed the law, we would have sound money… the Constitution still says that only gold and silver should be legal tender; You can understand why government grows… because politicians don’t have to be responsible; That’s why they invented in 1913 this financial system based on fiat money and printing money, because you can delay the pain and penalty; I used to say so often over the years that, “you know, we run up these debts… and we pass them on to the next generation… we shouldn’t do it…”, but you know what’s different today… we are the next generation and we’re suffering the consequences; If you just print money, the value of the money goes down, and the people’s standards go down; Already the people on fixed incomes… their standard of living is going down; The middle class is shrinking; Unemployment, if you look at those honestly, is closer to 20%, and the people are very, very concerned about this; The answers come with a very uncomplicated solution… we got into this mess by too many people in Washington either didn’t care or didn’t understand the Constitution… we need to restore the Constitution and we must restore liberty Ron Paul speaking in my home state of South Carolina… [Part 9 of a 9-part series] Podcast: Ron Paul 2012 Podcast Full Episode: Ron Paul at South Carolina Primary Concession Speech (1/21/2012) Date: 1/21/12 Download Partial transcript: How [...] 3:11 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/22/ron-paul-in-south-carolina-part-8/ http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/22/ron-paul-in-south-carolina-part-8/#comments Sun, 22 Jan 2012 16:18:31 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=7511 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/22/ron-paul-in-south-carolina-part-8/feed/ 0 Ron Paul speaking in my home state of South Carolina… [Part 8 of a 9-part series] Podcast: Ron Paul 2012 Podcast Full Episode: Ron Paul at South Carolina Primary Concession Speech (1/21/2012) Date: 1/21/12 Download Dr. Ron Paul Partial transcript: There’s no doubt in my mind the momentum has been continuing, and will continue; There’s been now three elections and a total of 37 delegates have been chosen so far–less than 2%–like 1.5%; The message of liberty is being received by more people every single day; That is how you get peace and prosperity… by understanding and defending and promoting the cause of liberty; We will be going to the caucus states and we will be promoting the whole idea of getting more delegates… because that’s the name of the game, and we will pursue it; It looks like tonight we will get 4-5 times more votes than we did 4 years ago; There’s every reason to be encouraged… there’s every reason that we understand so clearly that the cause is so necessary; The evidence has become clear that the efforts by government is failing, and we can’t depend on the government to take care of us from cradle to grave; We can’t depend on the government on its efforts to promote and believe that we can police the world and go into nation building… cause we’re all gone broke Ron Paul speaking in my home state of South Carolina… [Part 8 of a 9-part series] Podcast: Ron Paul 2012 Podcast Full Episode: Ron Paul at South Carolina Primary Concession Speech (1/21/2012) Date: 1/21/12 Download Partial [...] 3:29 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/21/ron-paul-in-south-carolina-part-7/ http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/21/ron-paul-in-south-carolina-part-7/#comments Sat, 21 Jan 2012 18:38:07 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=7484 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/21/ron-paul-in-south-carolina-part-7/feed/ 0 Ron Paul speaking in my home state of South Carolina… [Part 7 of a 9-part series] Podcast: Ron Paul 2012 Podcast Full Episode: Ron Paul Speaks to the Southern Republican Leadership Conference (1/20/2012) Date: 1/20/12 Download Dr. Ron Paul Partial transcript: Generally speaking my views are different in reality than the other candidates… although the rhetoric might not be extremely different, in reality it is different… because so often we have candidates that will talk about some changes but basically still support the status quo; The status quo today is too much ignoring the Constitution; We’ve gotten into this trouble because we’ve avoided following the Constitution… it shouldn’t be difficult to get out of trouble by just having only people in Washington who obey the Constitution–that’s what I think we oughta do; It also reflects an educational system that over many many decades have taught generations of Americans that the Constitution is not to be a rigid document; Since we got careless with this, the document doesn’t mean a whole lot; The Founders of this country… put it in there that only gold and silver could be legal tender, you couldn’t have a central bank, and you couldn’t print money… but look at where we are… and we didn’t change the Constitution; There is no authority for the federal government to be running education… therefore we don’t need the Department of Education; When you [the executive branch] write a regulation, you’re writing a law… and that’s the executive branch doing what only the legislative branch is supposed to be doing… we need to challenge this someday Ron Paul speaking in my home state of South Carolina… [Part 7 of a 9-part series] Podcast: Ron Paul 2012 Podcast Full Episode: Ron Paul Speaks to the Southern Republican Leadership Conference (1/20/2012) Date: 1/20/12 Download Partial [...] 3:18 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/21/ron-paul-in-south-carolina-part-6/ http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/21/ron-paul-in-south-carolina-part-6/#comments Sat, 21 Jan 2012 13:51:02 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=7480 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/21/ron-paul-in-south-carolina-part-6/feed/ 0 Ron Paul speaking in my home state of South Carolina… [Part 6 of a 9-part series] Podcast: Ron Paul 2012 Podcast Full Episode: Ron Paul Charleston GOP Debate Highlights (1/19/2012) Date: 1/19/12 Download Dr. Ron Paul Partial transcript: I can remember the very early years studying obstetrics–and it was before the age of abortion–and I was told taking care of a woman that’s pregnant, you have two patients… and I think that solves a lot of the problem by when life begins and all; In the 1960′s when the culture was changing… abortion became prevalent even though it was illegal; So the morality of the country changed, but then the law followed up; When the morality changes, it will reflect on the laws; Law will not correct the basic problem, and that’s the morality of the people; You need the government out of that business [medicine] or you will always argue over who’s paying what bills; I follow what my understanding is of the Constitution, and it does allow for the states to deal with difficult problems… as a matter of fact, it allows the states to deal with almost all the problems, if you look at it; These powers aren’t given to the Congress… I see abortion as a violent act… all other violence is handled by the states–murder, burglary, violence… that’s a state issue; Don’t try to say that I’m less pro-life because I want to be particular about the way we do it and allow the states the prerogative; This is the solution… if we would allow the states to write their laws, take away the jurisdiction by a majority vote in the Congress, you repeal Roe v.

I want to cut military money, I don’t want to cut defense money; I want to bring the troops home… I’d probably have more bases here at home; We were closing them down in the 1990′s and building them overseas–that’s how we got into trouble; We would save a lot more money and have a stronger national defense, and that’s what we should do; But to say that we would be weaker is absolutely wrong; The military is behind me more than the others–I get twice as much money from the active military duties than all the other candidates put together… so they’re saying that I’m on the right track–they’re sick and tired of those wars… they’re sick and tired of the nation building and the policing activity; There’s a difference between military spending and defense spending; Just cause you spend a billion dollars on an embassy in Baghdad bigger than the Vatican–you consider that defense spending… I consider that waste; I’d cut some of this military spending… like Eisenhower advised us… “watch out for the military industrial complex”; Defend this country–we have to have a strong national defense, but we don’t get strength by diluting ourselves in 900 bases–130 countries–that is where the problem is;

First, after 9/11 it was the Patriot Act; The Patriot Act was not invented because of 9/11… it had been invented several years before; An opportunity arises for those who like to put those kind of laws on us… saw that as an opportunity… so within a week or two, the Patriot Act was passed; If we could have renamed it, it wouldn’t have passed; If they had called that the “Repeal of the 4th Amendment Act”, maybe nobody would have voted for it then… because that’s essentially what it did; We have lost our privacy–they can invade our homes without legitimate search warrants; The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)–a very, very bad piece of legislation; The provisions in there essentially have repealed Posse Comitatus; The president now is allowed to use the military to arrest any American citizen as a probably cause; Not only can you be arrested by the military–that’s only half of it–you can be kept in secret confinement indefinitely and denied an attorney… and that is not part of what America should be; If we’re to restore the republic, we would be repealing the Patriot Act as well as this authority to arrest American citizens by the U.S. Army–that should not be permissible; There’s something much bigger than me going on in this country… it’s been going on for 4, 5, 6 years, and it’s growing by leaps and bounds… and that is the freedom movement–people really are understanding what’s going on; If we do nothing, though, the status quo will drive us down… the bankruptcy of the country will lead to chaos; We can’t continue this wild spending overseas and the wild entitlement spending here–it won’t work… the endpoint will be a monetary financial event Ron Paul speaking in my home state of South Carolina… [Part 2 of a 9-part series] Podcast: Ron Paul 2012 Podcast Full Episode: Ron Paul Receives Key Endorsement, Speaks to Supporters in Myrtle Beach, SC (1/15/2012) Date: 1/15/12 Download [...] 3:53 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/18/ron-paul-in-south-carolina-part-1/ http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/18/ron-paul-in-south-carolina-part-1/#comments Thu, 19 Jan 2012 03:48:31 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=7413 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/18/ron-paul-in-south-carolina-part-1/feed/ 0 Ron Paul speaking in my home state of South Carolina… [Part 1 of a 9-part series] Podcast: Ron Paul 2012 Podcast Full Episode: Ron Paul Receives Key Endorsement, Speaks to Supporters in Myrtle Beach, SC (1/15/2012) Date: 1/15/12 Download Dr. Ron Paul Partial transcript: The easiest place to cut–for all Americans–should be this wild, runaway spending overseas–that’s where we need to cut; If you do that, and change the military budget, you don’t give up one penny of national defense, because you can have more defense with less money if we quit this nation building and the policemen of the world–we don’t need to be doing that; That means we’d be bringing a lot of troops back home; The military gives me the most amount of money… twice as much as all the other candidates; Maybe they’re tired of those wars as well; We’re supposedly over there to defend our Constitution… but how do you go to war that’s not declared under the rules of the Constitution?

So no human being has the right to commit aggressive violence against another–that’s the Golden Rule; The fundamental tenant of libertarian thought is the Golden Rule–we’re all equal before the law; Really the only law is the non-aggression principle… and on that will hang the Constitution and all laws worthy of our respect–they’re all commentaries on or applications of the non-aggression axiom (or the Golden Rule); Virtue cannot be obtained through compulsion; It’s possible to use coercion defensively in order to protect yourself against the vicious, and there arguably is a role for coercion in terms of punishing conspicuous acts of viciousness, but you can’t make somebody righteous through coercion; The way that statism works is that it cocoons us in myriad laws and then leaves us completely at the mercy of the grace of the supposedly divine entity called the state; Libertarianism starts from the proposition that the state–being composed of flawed human beings–cannot make us virtuous through coercion Play audio in browser: Download audio William Grigg Dr. Future and Will Grigg discuss libertarianism and the Golden Rule… [Part 5 of a 5-part series] Show: Future Quake Full Podcast: Show 295 1-6-2012 Future Quake – Seventh Annual Future Quake “Predictions” Show Date: 1/6/12 Hosts: Dr. [...] 2:27 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/15/ron-paul-the-religious-right-and-the-golden-rule-part-4/ http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/15/ron-paul-the-religious-right-and-the-golden-rule-part-4/#comments Sun, 15 Jan 2012 13:35:02 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=7347 http://wakingjonah.com/2012/01/15/ron-paul-the-religious-right-and-the-golden-rule-part-4/feed/ 0 Dr. Future and Will Grigg discuss the religious right and militarism… [Part 4 of a 5-part series] Show: Future Quake Full Podcast: Show 295 1-6-2012 Future Quake – Seventh Annual Future Quake “Predictions” Show Date: 1/6/12 Hosts: Dr. Future & Tom Bionic Guest: Will Grigg Notes: The Values Voter Summit for the religious right–to get the Christian vote in the straw poll;

The same thing is happening with the American evangelical church… which is more defined by what they’re taught to hate, than by what we are commanded to do, which is to love; That’s the one thing that betokens our discipleship–the one thing that He said would designate Christians as different from the world is our capacity to love–not merely to love each other, but to love whoever God happens to put in our path;

Your “neighbor” is whoever God happens to put in your path–that’s the answer that was given in the parable; Jesus chose as an example a Samaritan (an infidel–a nonbeliever) to illustrate the godly principle that your “neighbor” is whoever God happens to put in your path; That’s something which has been repudiated by that same cohort of a church that embraces torture… because obviously you cannot torture your neighbor… if you’re bound by the Golden Rule, you cannot inflict torture on somebody, because obviously you would not want torture to be inflicted upon yourself; Another illustration of where we might be going is the situation in Germany as described in Eric Metaxas’ book on Dietrich Bonhoeffer: “Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy“; “Positive Christianity”–the state-focused, cultural Christianity of Germany in the early 20th Century;

Howard Hunt’s deathbed confession; One of the first documents they came across was one of the scariest… and that was the fact that in the early 50′s we went down to Guatemala and basically infected 300-400 people with syphilis, just to test out to see if penicillin worked; Many of these documents when you read them you will think that they were done by Nazis, and yet you’re gonna find out as you read them that, no, it was the United States of America–our government–that was behaving in this fashion–it was our government that murdered people, and did all sorts of stuff; The CIA’s secret assassination manual; Assassination is just a fancy word for 1st degree murder; 1st degree murder is against the law in every country in the world; Who decides when someone’s going to be murdered?

“A Noble Lie”–the only film in the last decade that’s been professionally produced looking at Oklahoma City; It’s a gambit in chess… and militaries do this where you send in a hundred troops–a thousand–to bring out the enemy–you know it’s going to wipe out the troops–but they’re a sacrifice, and the argument is “the end justifies the means” (you don’t lose 10,000 troops cause you’re willing to lose 100)–that’s what they do when governments conduct false flags, and it’s very sick Play audio in browser: Download audio Alex Jones interviews James Lane and Chris Emery, the director and producer (respectively) of the documentary “A Noble Lie: Oklahoma City 1995“… [Part 3 of a 6-part series] Show: The Alex Jones Show Full Podcast: Friday 12-16-2011 – The [...] 3:02 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/12/28/the-okc-bombing-a-noble-lie-%e2%80%93-part-2/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/12/28/the-okc-bombing-a-noble-lie-%e2%80%93-part-2/#comments Thu, 29 Dec 2011 06:45:28 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=7149 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/12/28/the-okc-bombing-a-noble-lie-%e2%80%93-part-2/feed/ 0 Alex Jones interviews James Lane and Chris Emery, the director and producer (respectively) of the documentary “A Noble Lie: Oklahoma City 1995“… [Part 2 of a 6-part series] Show: The Alex Jones Show Full Podcast: Friday 12-16-2011 – The Alex Jones Show Date: 12/16/11 Host: Alex Jones Guests: James Lane and Chris Emery Notes: The documentary “A Noble Lie“;

Was it that innocuous, or was there something more to it?; When the Puritans outlawed Christmas, they didn’t just outlaw it because they thought it was not biblical… but because it was a time where immorality would be celebrated–it was a paganized festival;

We went to war too easily with Iraq; The wars have been a disaster; The founders had given us a way to prevent these kind of wars–they said you’re not supposed to go to war unless you declare the war by the Congress, which is endorsed by the people–that would have prevented it; Iran is allowed to develop nuclear power and they have no evidence that they’ve ever enriched and transferred it to weaponry, so there’s a lot of propaganda going on… it’s very similar to the propaganda that led up to Iraq, and we should be very very cautious; Cutting all foreign aid–there’s no proper authority… for the most part, foreign aid takes money from the poor people of this country and gives it to rich people in the poor countries, because it becomes a political tool; Policy on Israel; Egypt and Mubarak; Great empires end through economic reasons–they go bankrupt; When Israel was started they had two principles: independence and self-reliance; Even Netanyahu said on the House floor just a few months ago that “we don’t need American troops to defend ourselves… we can take care of ourselves”; Arab Spring is not a healthy endorsement of our foreign policy because part of this is rebelling against dictators that we have propped up; We’ve been interfering in Iran since 1953–these things tend to backfire on the long run, there’s too many unintended consequences Play audio in browser: Download audio Jay Leno interviews Dr. Ron Paul… [Part 4 of a 4-part series] Show: Ron Paul 2012 Podcast Full Podcast: Ron Paul on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (12/16/2011) Date: 12/16/11 Host: Jay Leno Guest: Ron Paul Notes: Foreign policy;

Gay marriage; Dr. Paul’s position on marriage is that the government ought to just stay out of it totally and completely and quit arguing about it; Dr. Paul does very well with social conservatives because he recognizes the principle of life and liberty; Probably the most important social/family issue today is the economy–the family is threatened by this bad economy; Taxes; The tax collection is a symptom of an appetite for big government, so the people have to change their mind… if the people want us to be the policemen of the world and have welfare from cradle to grave, then you can’t get rid of taxation and we’ll continue on until we’re totally bankrupt and our currency fails; But if you want a constitutional government–limited government–you really don’t have to have an income tax, but the people have to make up their mind; You have to get the economy growing again, and that means you have to cut spending… that’s why Dr. Paul has proposed cutting spending the first year by $1 trillion Play audio in browser: Download audio Jay Leno interviews Dr. Ron Paul… [Part 3 of a 4-part series] Show: Ron Paul 2012 Podcast Full Podcast: Ron Paul on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (12/16/2011) Date: 12/16/11 Host: Jay Leno Guest: Ron Paul Notes: Social issues;

We shouldn’t have 100,000 federal bureaucrats telling the states and the people what to do; Interstate commerce; We don’t want prior restraint with our 1st Amendment… we don’t want prior restraint in the business sector either; Property rights should be protected–states should do it; States can have agreements, but then if there’s an argument, then the federal government should be involved; If you’re a real strict property rights person… environments are protected because it’s property and you can’t ever damage or pollute your neighbor’s property, so it actually would have been a lot stricter than what happened in the Industrial Revolution where big business and big government got together and allowed too much pollution to occur; There’s nothing that says the federal government has the authority to regulate alcohol and drugs; The federal government should protect our right to do to our body what we want–the government can’t protect us from ourself;

He tried to prevent some wars from starting… now the American people are tired of the wars; He’s talked a lot about economics… that’s what really got him motivated to run for office; There was a lot of handwriting on the wall about financial bubbles and housing bubbles… now that they have come about, the credibility has built and the people are very worried about the economy, and that’s something Dr. Paul has talked about for a long, long time; Dr. Paul is doing the strongest among young people; Freedom is very appealing–it’s based on principle; Younger people tend to be more principled… later on we’re taught to blend in and mesh in and go along with the crowd; The role that the federal government should play in people’s lives is very minimal… we have a document that tells us exactly what it should be, and that’s the Constitution; Article 1, Section 8; The purpose of the federal government is to preserve liberty, to allow people to run their own lives, to spend their own money… Play audio in browser: Download audio   Jay Leno interviews Dr. Ron Paul… [Part 1 of a 4-part series] Show: Ron Paul 2012 Podcast Full Podcast: Ron Paul on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (12/16/2011) Date: 12/16/11 Host: Jay Leno Guest: Ron Paul Notes: Dr. Paul’s message has been [...] 2:56 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/12/16/thoughts-on-the-moon-landing-and-the-return-of-christ/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/12/16/thoughts-on-the-moon-landing-and-the-return-of-christ/#comments Fri, 16 Dec 2011 17:53:49 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=7049 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/12/16/thoughts-on-the-moon-landing-and-the-return-of-christ/feed/ 0 Derek & Sharon Gilbert from P.I.D.

Where did it start going wrong?; Frank’s book “Pagan Christianity?” shows the historical development of that; It began with the death of the apostles and the men they trained… historically you had a lot of Greco-Roman philosophers and orators that came into the church with a Greco-Roman mind; Instead of being a cultural expression of the church of Jesus Christ, the culture began to take over, and you had this blending together of the Greco-Roman mind and hierarchical leadership, which comes straight out of Rome, and harkens back even to Babylon and Egypt, was being brought into the church;

1 Corinthians 14:26; This kind of meeting is what our spiritual instincts long for… we have a spiritual need to give out what God gives to us; What God puts in, we have to pour it out to others–that’s what the meeting of the church really is;

The leadership of the church of Jesus Christ ought never to be hierarchical; Matthew 20:25-28; John Howard Yoder, Robert Banks, and Howard Snyder have brought this out very well… you have a living, breathing, body, and there is only one Head, and it’s Jesus Christ, but you have different members that have different functions and different giftings; Those members and those functions all carry the authority from the Head; The finger doesn’t have authority over the foot, the arm doesn’t have authority over the hand, and the leg doesn’t have authority over the wrist… it all comes from the Head;

The institutional church doesn’t really give you a venue to minister and to share in the meeting (in the church service)… you go to receive; There is very little to no ministry that you yourself do during that meeting; A Christian does not grow unless he is functioning; There has to be an expression of church that is not only closer to the New Testament, but that maps to our spiritual instincts; The organic nature of the ekklesia Play audio in browser: Download audio Frank Viola discusses the institutional church vs. organic church… [Part 2 of an 8-Part series] Show: Nomad Podcast Full Podcast: Nomad 8: Frank Viola and Organic Church Date: 9/10/09 Guest: Frank Viola Notes: You cannot find “going to [...] 2:46 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/12/06/frank-viola-and-organic-church-part-1/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/12/06/frank-viola-and-organic-church-part-1/#comments Tue, 06 Dec 2011 07:00:19 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6984 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/12/06/frank-viola-and-organic-church-part-1/feed/ 0 Frank Viola discusses the institutional church vs. organic church… [Part 1 of an 8-Part series] Show: Nomad Podcast Full Podcast: Nomad 8: Frank Viola and Organic Church Date: 9/10/09 Guest: Frank Viola Notes: Radical church reform;

If we identify this as a “Christian” nation, then Caesar gets wrapped up with the word “Christian”, and now everything America does gets tagged as “what Christians do”; The best America–or any other kingdom of the world–can be is a decent power-over regime… that’s the best a nation can do; A nation can’t replicate Calvary love towards others, and when we identify a nation as “Christian”, it pollutes our distinct, unique witness to the world, upon which God leverages everything; Romans 13; 2 Peter 2; We need to keep the two kingdoms distinct; Satan uses this confusion to pollute/dilute/ruin/undermine the witness of kingdom people to the world; It is to our advantage–it’s to the advantage of the kingdom of God–to say as loudly and clearly as we can, “His kingdom is not of this world“; There is no national kingdom of God–the kingdom of God by definition occurs wherever there are people who are willing to come under others, and lay down their lives for others, and serve others, and turn the other cheek, and do that radical, foolish thing that characterizes the kingdom of God; The kingdom of God happens when people imitate Jesus, not Caesar… we’ve got to keep those two things distinct, and the idea of this as a Christian nation–or an almost Christian nation–undermines that Play audio in browser: Download audio Greg Boyd Greg Boyd, pastor of Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, MN compares the kingdom of the world to the kingdom of God… [Part 14 of an ongoing series...] Ministry: Woodland Hills Church Full Podcast: The Difference Between the Two Kingdoms Date: [...] 3:29 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/11/11/greg-boyd-the-sword-and-the-cross-part-13/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/11/11/greg-boyd-the-sword-and-the-cross-part-13/#comments Sat, 12 Nov 2011 04:11:04 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6919 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/11/11/greg-boyd-the-sword-and-the-cross-part-13/feed/ 0 Greg Boyd, pastor of Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, MN compares the kingdom of the world to the kingdom of God… [Part 13 of an ongoing series...] Ministry: Woodland Hills Church Full Podcast: The Difference Between the Two Kingdoms Date: 4/25/04 Speaker: Greg Boyd Notes: We live in a version of the kingdom of the world that asks our opinion about how this version of the kingdom of the world should operate–what should be a crime in our society?; What are we called to do to further the kingdom of God?; How do we best replicate Calvary towards one another and to the outside world?; It’s precisely because our opinion is asked in this version of the kingdom of the world that we have to be particularly careful to not get sucked in to thinking that our opinions about the kingdom of the world are synonymous with the kingdom of God Play audio in browser: Download audio Greg Boyd Greg Boyd, pastor of Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, MN compares the kingdom of the world to the kingdom of God… [Part 13 of an ongoing series...] Ministry: Woodland Hills Church Full Podcast: The Difference Between the Two Kingdoms Date: [...] 3:34 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/11/10/greg-boyd-the-sword-and-the-cross-part-12/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/11/10/greg-boyd-the-sword-and-the-cross-part-12/#comments Fri, 11 Nov 2011 03:52:54 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6914 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/11/10/greg-boyd-the-sword-and-the-cross-part-12/feed/ 0 Greg Boyd, pastor of Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, MN compares the kingdom of the world to the kingdom of God… [Part 12 of an ongoing series...] Ministry: Woodland Hills Church Full Podcast: The Difference Between the Two Kingdoms Date: 4/25/04 Speaker: Greg Boyd Notes: The kingdom of the world is always tribal–it’s always national, it’s us against them; There’s something intrinsic in the flesh that always wants to say that “my way is the best way“; In the kingdom of God, the perspective is universal; Jesus Christ died for every human being, so every human being has absolute worth–infinite worth–and our main job in life is to express that to them in word and in deed; From a kingdom of God perspective we would consider all body bags to be equally tragic; In the kingdom of God, we are not allowed to have any enemies–we’re forbidden to have enemies of flesh and blood;

John Yoder’s “The Politics of Jesus“; Everything Jesus did would have been being watched by people through a political lens–everything he did was politically significant; People tried to pull him into the politics of His age, but Jesus never allows Himself to be dragged into that; The very fact that He didn’t let them define the terms of the issues that He was addressing was itself a huge political statement… He was saying–directly and indirectly–that the kingdom that He comes to bring is not of this world; What Jesus did, He did on purpose; He allowed Himself to be crucified by the kingdom of the world to establish the kingdom that is of God, and now His people are called to imitate Him Play audio in browser: Download audio Greg Boyd Greg Boyd, pastor of Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, MN compares the kingdom of the world to the kingdom of God… [Part 11 of an ongoing series...] Ministry: Woodland Hills Church Full Podcast: The Difference Between the Two Kingdoms Date: [...] 3:09 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/11/02/greg-boyd-the-sword-and-the-cross-part-10/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/11/02/greg-boyd-the-sword-and-the-cross-part-10/#comments Thu, 03 Nov 2011 02:03:15 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6892 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/11/02/greg-boyd-the-sword-and-the-cross-part-10/feed/ 0 Greg Boyd, pastor of Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, MN compares the kingdom of the world to the kingdom of God… [Part 10 of an ongoing series...] Ministry: Woodland Hills Church Full Podcast: Taking America Back for God?

Date: 4/18/04 Speaker: Greg Boyd Notes: The Constantinian revolution… when the church adopted the slogan that we still have with us today: “The church militant and triumphant”; For the first four centuries, the church grew by people imitating Jesus–literally; They were persecuted, they were put to death; The word “martyr” means “witness”, but it became synonymous with one who dies for their faith, because that’s the main way that they witnessed; In the 4th Century, the Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity; Now Christians for the first time began to taste the possibility of having the power of the sword; Constantine legalized Christianity in 313 AD… in 381 Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, and the first “infidel” was put to death in 382; What follows are centuries of some of the most barbaric bloodshed the world has ever seen… heretics were routinely put to death, unbelievers routinely put to death, the Inquisition, the Crusades, Muslims; Whole towns were slaughtered because they disagreed with the official teaching of the Holy Catholic Church of Constantine; But it continued on with the Protestant Reformation–there was no improvement there whatsoever; We’ve got to see the demonic irony in all of this… in the name of the One who taught us to turn the other cheek, the church cut off people’s heads; In the name of the One who taught us to love our enemies–to lay down our life for our enemies–the church burned enemies alive; In the name of the One who forbid taking up the sword, the church swung the sword, and swung it hard–we’ve got to see the insanity of this Play audio in browser: Download audio Greg Boyd Greg Boyd, pastor of Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, MN compares the kingdom of the world to the kingdom of God… [Part 5 of an ongoing series...] Ministry: Woodland Hills Church Full Podcast: Taking America Back for God?

Date: 4/18/04 Speaker: Greg Boyd Notes: Jesus didn’t come to give us the perfect version of the kingdom of the world… He didn’t come to give us a new way of having power over–a new way of running society; He came into the power-over kingdom to establish a power-under kingdom; What He came to do was to provide a radically different alternative to all the ways of doing the kingdom of the world; The kingdom of God person has got to know that his or her ultimate allegiance–second to none, by far and away–has got to be to the kingdom of God, and never must we compromise the uniqueness of our calling as kingdom of God people for the sake of a kingdom of the world sort of agenda; 1 Peter 2; We are to see ourselves as exiles and aliens… our citizenship is in heaven; The battles we’re supposed to fight are not the battles of the kingdom of the world; Paul says that our enemies are not enemies of flesh and blood – Ephesians 6:12; As a kingdom of God person, if it’s flesh and blood, you’ve got one job… and that is to demonstrate outrageous love to them; The enemy is the principality and power of the air, and our job is to topple down his empire by imitating Jesus Christ with outrageous acts of love; Your unique authority as a kingdom of God person is defined by how you love… by how you sacrifice of your life for the sake of others… by how you imitate Jesus Christ, especially towards those that the society wants to throw away; Your unique authority is found in your willingness to trust the cross, rather than the sword Play audio in browser: Download audio Greg Boyd Greg Boyd, pastor of Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, MN compares the kingdom of the world to the kingdom of God… [Part 4 of an ongoing series...] Ministry: Woodland Hills Church Full Podcast: Taking America Back for God?

Click here for Part 1.] Show: Nowhere to Run Full Video: Charles Cooper Interview – Prewrath Rapture Date: 2/2/11 Host: Chris White Guest: Charles Cooper Notes: The greatest danger for people that hold a pretribulational view of the rapture is: The possibility of a significant number of believers being caught off-guard, or caught unawares, and perhaps the disappointment of what they believed, may lead some of them to panic, abandon the faith, try to engage in conduct that perhaps will put them in compromising situations, etc.; It may lead unnecessarily to the death of millions of people because they were unprepared spiritually–they didn’t develop the faith muscles necessary to resist the unparalleled persecution that the New Testament associates with the period that immediately precedes Christ’s return; The issue really revolves around people learning how to live by faith under any condition, such that if our generation is called upon to be that final generation, that millions and millions of true followers of Jesus Christ will not suffer death needlessly simply because they didn’t have the muscles necessary to stand by faith in the face of intense persecution; This is a problem that is probably uniquely Western; The churches of Europe, Africa, and Asia would have very little of a significant change in their life if we went into that final period–they know how to endure under intense persecution; The church in the West–and particularly the American church–is so weak when it comes to persecution that thousands and thousands would die needlessly simply because they don’t know what to do, because they never anticipated being here; Christians panicked and went to pieces after 9/11 and were not able to stand in the confidence and the quietness of their faith, simply because they never thought it would happen; Rather than going into denial and self-preservation, etc., we need to do as Christ instructed for His believers to do, which is to stand by faith and trusting in the sovereign will of God–that God has it under control, that He has His people in His hand, and that nothing can touch us that He does not allow by His own sovereign election Play audio in browser: Download audio Chris White from Nowhere to Run interviews Charles Cooper from the Prewrath Resource Institute about the timing of the rapture… [Part 25 of a 27-Part series.

Well then, that’s a sign that the “gathering together” hasn’t happened either.” Play audio in browser: Download audio Chris White from Nowhere to Run explains the Prewrath rapture perspective… [Part 20 of a 27-Part series.

Verse 15 is the first time in Matthew 24 that we can put a time as to where we are in the scheme of things; The abomination of desolation is the midpoint of the last 7-year period; Daniel’s 70 Weeks; Final 7-year period begins when the Antichrist makes a peace agreement with Israel; At the midpoint (3 1/2 years in), he will declare himself to be God in the temple; We know more about the midpoint of the final 7-year period than any other time in prophetic history; It’s the beginning of a great persecution of the elect–the entire section here is telling people to flee because of the persecution that will start at that point; Daniel 11:31-35; God has a particular plan in the deaths of these martyrs, which is also exactly what we see in the next seal in Revelation 6:9-11; This seal is entirely about martyrs, and that’s exactly what we see happening in our Matthew 24 verse; The most interesting part of the 5th seal is that the martyrs are asking God how long it will be until He judges those that are killing them; This would seem to indicate that all that has happened so far in the seals (wars, famines, etc.), are not part of God’s judgment; Matthew 24:22; These souls are not going to have to wait very much longer for God to avenge them–in fact, it will happen in the very next seal;

Revelation 6:7-8; The 4th seal – death; “by the wild beasts of the earth”; The word for “by” is a different Greek word than the other “with’s” in the verse; Indicates more definitely the actual agent of destruction; The meaning is defined as “under”, often meaning “under authority” of something working directly as a subordinate; It seems that the other things in this verse–the killing with sword and famine–are “by”, or “under authority”, of the “wild beasts”; The term “wild beasts” has led to some false interpretations; “Wild beast” is not the correct translation of the Greek in Revelation 6:8; The word is “therion” and it basically means “beast”, and it can be translated as “beast” (Titus 1:12), or “wild beast” (Acts 11:6)–context determines which translation is best; It’s used 39 times in the book of Revelation, and 38 times the term refers to either the beast (as in the Antichrist), or the false prophet (the second beast), or the image of the beast, and it correctly is translated there as “beast”; However the translators, attempting to clarify the meaning in Revelation 6:8 incorrectly translated the text as “wild beast”–the only time it is not translated simply as “beast” in Revelation; There is no grounds for the translation “wild beasts” in Revelation 6:8; Both famine and plague are here attributed to the methods in which these “beasts” kill, that is in addition to the sword Play audio in browser: Download audio Chris White from Nowhere to Run explains the Prewrath rapture perspective… [Part 13 of a 27-Part series] [*To get the most out of this teaching, please see the full video presentation by clicking on the link below.] Show: Nowhere to Run Full [...] 4:04 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/08/30/the-prewrath-rapture-part-12/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/08/30/the-prewrath-rapture-part-12/#comments Wed, 31 Aug 2011 05:48:17 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6477 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/08/30/the-prewrath-rapture-part-12/feed/ 0 Chris White from Nowhere to Run explains the Prewrath rapture perspective… [Part 12 of a 27-Part series] [*To get the most out of this teaching, please see the full video presentation by clicking on the link below.] Show: Nowhere to Run Full Video: The Prewrath Rapture – The Rapture Puzzle Solved with Matthew 24 Date: 4/2/11 Host: Chris White Notes: The step-by-step chronology in Matthew 24 of the signs leading up to the rapture and the wrath of God are the exact same signs we see in Revelation chapters 6-8, which are speaking of the 7 seals that need to be opened before the scroll (the wrath of God) can be read;

The definition includes and encompasses all the things that Christ will do, starting with the rapture–His visible return, the raising of the dead, the last judgment, and the setting up of the kingdom after Armageddon; The rapture will be the first thing to happen at His coming (“parousia”), but there are not multiple “parousias”; There is only one word that is used to describe all of those tasks; In Greek literature, the word was used to describe a visit from a king to the area that the king ruled over; It was used to refer to his arrival, and the entirety of his visit… the “parousia” or “coming” of the king could last a long time; Matthew 13:30; Matthew 13:39-40; Matthew 24:4-8; He says that in the days leading up to His “parousia”, there are going to be signposts, but He warns us that these should not be confused with the End of the Age, or the Wrath of God; These signs are only the beginnings of sorrows–the word there is “birth pangs” in some translations Play audio in browser: Download audio Chris White from Nowhere to Run explains the Prewrath rapture perspective… [Part 11 of a 27-Part series] [*To get the most out of this teaching, please see the full video presentation by clicking on the link below.] Show: Nowhere to Run Full [...] 3:07 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/08/26/the-prewrath-rapture-part-10/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/08/26/the-prewrath-rapture-part-10/#comments Sat, 27 Aug 2011 03:07:45 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6457 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/08/26/the-prewrath-rapture-part-10/feed/ 0 Chris White from Nowhere to Run explains the Prewrath rapture perspective… [Part 10 of a 27-Part series] [*To get the most out of this teaching, please see the full video presentation by clicking on the link below.] Show: Nowhere to Run Full Video: The Prewrath Rapture – The Rapture Puzzle Solved with Matthew 24 Date: 4/2/11 Host: Chris White Notes: Compare Matthew 24 to Revelation 19 (the classic Armageddon passage) to see if Matthew 24:31 is speaking of Armageddon, like some pretribulationalists claim;

When Christ tells his disciples in Matthew 24 of the events leading up to His coming, He ends that chronology with a description of the rapture; Matthew 24:30-31; 1 Thess 4:15-18; Charles Cooper’s book “God’s Elect and the Great Tribulation“; Matthew 24:29-31 has more in common with 1 Thess 4:13-18 than any other passage that is considered to be a rapture passage; The early church held the same view about Matthew 24; The King James 1611 edition seems to be Prewrath, in that it considers Matthew 24:31 comparable to 1 Thess. 4:16, as well as 1 Cor. 15:52 (both classic rapture passages) Play audio in browser: Download audio Chris White from Nowhere to Run explains the Prewrath rapture perspective… [Part 9 of a 27-Part series] [*To get the most out of this teaching, please see the full video presentation by clicking on the link below.] Show: Nowhere to Run Full [...] 3:08 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/08/09/the-prewrath-rapture-part-8/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/08/09/the-prewrath-rapture-part-8/#comments Wed, 10 Aug 2011 04:54:34 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6393 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/08/09/the-prewrath-rapture-part-8/feed/ 0 Chris White from Nowhere to Run explains the Prewrath rapture perspective… [Part 8 of a 27-Part series] [*To get the most out of this teaching, please see the full video presentation by clicking on the link below.] Show: Nowhere to Run Full Video: The Prewrath Rapture – The Rapture Puzzle Solved with Matthew 24 Date: 4/2/11 Host: Chris White Notes: Matthew 24:29-31; “tribulation” = “thlipsis” in the Greek; There’s so much confusion about this verse because we have defined this word “tribulation” incorrectly as the wrath of God; If we do that, then we have to pretend this verse isn’t talking about the rapture, even though it’s a mirror image of the famous verse in 1 Thess. 4; This is talking about a great affliction/persecution being cut short by the rapture; Mark 4:16-17; John 16:33; Acts 14:22; Romans 5:3; Romans 8:35; Romans 12:12; We are not going to go through the wrath of God, but to say that we aren’t going to go through “thlipsis” is quite simply unbiblical; There will be great tribulation–a great “thlipsis”–the persecution by the Antichrist that Christ describes, but we are promised that we will be raptured out from the midst of it, just before the Day of the Lord and the wrath of God against the wicked will begin; The wrath of God is poured out on the Day of the Lord; God alone, not the Antichrist, will be exalted on that day; The Day of the Lord is a long period of time–at least 5 months, but probably longer; The sun, moon, and stars sign will precede the Day of the Lord; The rapture and the Day of the Lord are back-to-back events; Imminence is not able to be found in Scripture or the early church Play audio in browser: Download audio Chris White from Nowhere to Run explains the Prewrath rapture perspective… [Part 8 of a 27-Part series] [*To get the most out of this teaching, please see the full video presentation by clicking on the link below.] Show: Nowhere to Run Full [...] 2:58 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/07/22/the-prewrath-rapture-part-7/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/07/22/the-prewrath-rapture-part-7/#comments Sat, 23 Jul 2011 01:30:25 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6391 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/07/22/the-prewrath-rapture-part-7/feed/ 0 Chris White from Nowhere to Run explains the Prewrath rapture perspective… [Part 7 of a 27-Part series] [*To get the most out of this teaching, please see the full video presentation by clicking on the link below.] Show: Nowhere to Run Full Video: The Prewrath Rapture – The Rapture Puzzle Solved with Matthew 24 Date: 4/2/11 Host: Chris White Notes: The doctrine of “imminence” held by pretribulationalists: the idea that no events, prophetic or otherwise, need to occur before the rapture happens (it could have occurred at any moment in the last 2,000 years); This is contrasted with the many events that must precede the Day of the Lord; If the rapture and the Day of the Lord are back-to-back events, the rapture could not have happened for the last 2,000 years; There is a time period in which the Lord’s return will be imminent, but only after certain events take place first… but after they do, it will be imminent; Church writings never taught that the rapture could come before the Antichrist until the 1800s Play audio in browser: Download audio Chris White from Nowhere to Run explains the Prewrath rapture perspective… [Part 7 of a 27-Part series] [*To get the most out of this teaching, please see the full video presentation by clicking on the link below.] Show: Nowhere to Run Full [...] 2:38 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/06/18/the-prewrath-rapture-part-6/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/06/18/the-prewrath-rapture-part-6/#comments Sat, 18 Jun 2011 16:04:07 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6378 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/06/18/the-prewrath-rapture-part-6/feed/ 0 Chris White from Nowhere to Run explains the Prewrath rapture perspective… [Part 6 of a 27-Part series] [*To get the most out of this teaching, please see the full video presentation by clicking on the link below.] Show: Nowhere to Run Full Video: The Prewrath Rapture – The Rapture Puzzle Solved with Matthew 24 Date: 4/2/11 Host: Chris White Notes: Luke 17:22,26-30;

Revelation 12:12; Revelation 13:4-7; The wrath of God/Day of the Lord is against the wicked–Satan’s wrath is just the opposite, it is against the righteous; 2 Thessalonians 2:4; The abomination of desolation–where the Antichrist exalts himself–is when the persecution of Christians begins in full swing; Daniel, Matthew, and John in Revelation all tie the abomination of desolation to the start of serious persecution of Christians, but Christ says this particular persecution will be “cut short” for the elect’s sake; God’s wrath is what will bring Satan’s wrath to an end… God will rescue His people from the Antichrist’s persecution and begin the Day of the Lord; 2 Thessalonians 1:6-8; The rapture and the Day of the Lord are back-to-back events; We’re told that we’re going to be raptured before God’s wrath, and the Day of the Lord is God’s wrath… so it would stand to reason that as soon as we are raptured, the wrath would begin; This would also explain all the verses that tell Christians to look forward to and hasten the Day of the Lord, or as Luke puts it, to “lift up your heads”, but yet in the same breath they speak of it as punishment for the wicked Play audio in browser: Download audio Chris White from Nowhere to Run explains the Prewrath rapture perspective… [Part 4 of a 27-Part series] [*To get the most out of this teaching, please see the full video presentation by clicking on the link below.] Show: Nowhere to Run Full [...] 3:20 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/04/20/the-prewrath-rapture-part-3/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/04/20/the-prewrath-rapture-part-3/#comments Thu, 21 Apr 2011 04:21:10 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6351 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/04/20/the-prewrath-rapture-part-3/feed/ 1 Chris White from Nowhere to Run explains the Prewrath rapture perspective… [Part 3 of a 27-Part series] [*To get the most out of this teaching, please see the full video presentation by clicking on the link below.] Show: Nowhere to Run Full Video: The Prewrath Rapture – The Rapture Puzzle Solved with Matthew 24 Date: 4/2/11 Host: Chris White Notes: Many passages speak of the Day of the Lord as an unparalleled time of God’s wrath; Zephaniah 1:18; Isaiah 2:17; Revelation 6:16-17; 2 Peter 3:7,10; The book of Joel is almost entirely about the Day of the Lord; Joel 2:31 – “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come“; This is also repeated in the New Testament in the book of Acts when it says, “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come” (Acts 2:20); When the signs in the sun, moon, and stars are given, everyone will be terrified… except for the righteous people, who are told to look forward to this day, because it means that their redemption is drawing near;

This shows that the Prewrath position is not some fly-by-night view, but can be articulated and defended from a scholarly perspective, and that it has overtaken the Midtribulational view in many people’s minds; It could ultimately end the rapture debate altogether if it can be given a fair hearing; One of the greatest obstacles to a true debate on this matter is that people are unaware of what the Prewrath view is actually saying; The book of Revelation gives us very vivid images of the wrath of God–it is symbolized as a scroll… there are seals that are keeping the scroll from being opened; The seals are not the judgment itself, but only the contents of the scroll are considered “God’s wrath”; In the last days, the wrath of God will be played out during a specific time period called “The Day of the Lord”; This Day is referred to about 70 times in the Old and New Testaments; Christians will be raptured before this time Play audio in browser: Download audio Chris White from Nowhere to Run explains the Prewrath rapture perspective… [Part 2 of a 27-Part series] [*To get the most out of this teaching, please see the full video presentation by clicking on the link below.] Show: Nowhere to Run Full [...] 2:53 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/04/14/the-prewrath-rapture-part-1/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/04/14/the-prewrath-rapture-part-1/#comments Fri, 15 Apr 2011 01:55:32 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6325 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/04/14/the-prewrath-rapture-part-1/feed/ 13 Charles Cooper from the Prewrath Resource Institute provides a brief overview of the Prewrath rapture position… [Part 1 of a 27-Part series] Show: Nowhere to Run Full Video: Charles Cooper Interview – Prewrath Rapture Date: 2/2/11 Host: Chris White Guest: Charles Cooper Notes: The Prewrath view is primarily a synthesis of the three popular views on the timing of the Lord’s return; The basic categories were either Pretribulational, Midtribulational, or Posttribulational up until about 20 years ago when they introduced the concept of a “Prewrath Rapture”, which has really kind of taken the place of the old Mid-trib argument; The Prewrath position is really nothing more than a synthesis of the strengths of the three previous rapture positions; It believes that the elect of God will not experience the wrath of God, but they will experience the persecution of Satan and his Antichrist; That demands a removal sometime after the midpoint but before the end of the 70th week, drawing a distinction between the wrath of Satan and the wrath of God–the two greatest periods of wrath the earth will ever know… which is why the Bible speaks of it in that kind of language… that is basically what the Prewrath position is Play audio in browser: Download audio Charles Cooper from the Prewrath Resource Institute provides a brief overview of the Prewrath rapture position… [Part 1 of a 27-Part series] Show: Nowhere to Run Full Video: Charles Cooper Interview – Prewrath Rapture Date: 2/2/11 Host: Chris [...] 2:35 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/04/11/freedom-from-dark-spirits-%e2%80%93-part-15/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/04/11/freedom-from-dark-spirits-%e2%80%93-part-15/#comments Tue, 12 Apr 2011 01:11:36 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6318 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/04/11/freedom-from-dark-spirits-%e2%80%93-part-15/feed/ 1 Russ Dizdar from Preemption Broadcast discusses the authority given to us by Jesus Christ to overcome spiritual oppression and the attacks of the devil… [Part 15 of a 15-Part series.

Psalm 81:10 – “Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.“; How can any Christian open wide their life, if they know they’ve got sin that they’re holding onto?; You can’t be filled with faith and filled with fear at the same time; You can’t be filled and clothed with the Holy Spirit–and have the joy and the power and the presence of the living Christ–and at the same time have any open doors to the enemy; Jesus comes to destroy the devil’s work, from top to bottom;

Matthew 28; You and the air around you will be completely cleared because the manifest presence of God will come through you; Put up praise–God inhabits the praise; Unleash prayer–there is power in it;

Renounce living a “spectator” Christian life; Put into practice the Word of God and you will grow experientially strong–more and more powerful–and you’ll be very able to do some great things; The Word of God becomes operative in those who put it into practice;

Don’t back away, and don’t back down; Bold witnesses in Jesus are needed as never before in all of history; We’ve allowed the world to dictate how much of the kingdom that we’re going to release; Put all of the Word of God into practice, across the board; Either you’re obedient to what God says, or you’re not; It’s not about just knowledge of Scripture… knowledge is inseparable from either obedience or disobedience; In the sense of Ephesians 6, all believers must realize there’s going to be some warfare coming your way–that’s why God gave you the enormity of the armor of God… when it’s on, the full manifest presence of God will be emanating in and through you;

A Spirit-filled, growing believer is going to be able to do this with great freedom and a Holy Spirit boldness, and a growing sense of empowerment and confidence in Christ; If you encounter a demon, stand your ground, don’t get fearful… immediately command–take charge of the situation–”I command you to stop in the the name of Jesus of Nazareth”; The Holy Spirit will lead you to quote Scripture… be very strong and take control–order the demons in the name of Jesus; You have the authority… if you don’t say it or do it, the demons aren’t going to listen–they’ll do what they need to do to either get away or to cause harm Play audio in browser: Download audio Russ Dizdar Russ Dizdar from Preemption Broadcast discusses the authority given to us by Jesus Christ to overcome spiritual oppression and the attacks of the devil… [Part 7 of a 15-Part series] Show: Preemption Broadcast Full Podcast: HOW TO GET YOURSELF AND [...] 3:01 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/03/24/freedom-from-dark-spirits-%e2%80%93-part-6/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/03/24/freedom-from-dark-spirits-%e2%80%93-part-6/#comments Thu, 24 Mar 2011 19:23:26 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6242 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/03/24/freedom-from-dark-spirits-%e2%80%93-part-6/feed/ 0 Russ Dizdar from Preemption Broadcast discusses the authority given to us by Jesus Christ to overcome spiritual oppression and the attacks of the devil… [Part 6 of a 15-Part series] Show: Preemption Broadcast Full Podcast: HOW TO GET YOURSELF AND OTHERS FREE FROM DARK SPIRITS Host: Russ Dizdar Notes: Russ Dizdar’s personal testimony; Demon possession; The demons sometimes will try to hide, because they don’t want to engage a real believer with real authority that knows what they’re doing; Luke 10; The book of Acts is the greatest current end times training manual, modeling how we should be doing it all; Demon possession could have opened up through satanic rituals, drugs, sexual transference, occultism, family blood lines, going to a psychic, new age practices, even remote viewing and astral projection;

Colossians 3 – put to death these areas of the old sin nature; Romans 8 – put to death the misdeeds of the old sin nature; It’s putting them to death, closing the door, nailing the door shut, and burning the bridges–walk away–otherwise you will end up giving the devil a foothold; 1 John 1:9 – “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”; Time doesn’t bring forgiveness, Jesus does; Proverbs 28:13 – “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.”;

Ephesians 4; Be angry but don’t sin… don’t let the sun go down on your anger; Anger undealt with that can turn into bitterness and resentment… that becomes a “foothold” for the devil–a legal right–a small opening to an area of your life; God tells us not to grieve the Holy Spirit and not to let sins go undealt with; If a believer gets into anger or other sin areas that are undealt with that continue and continue and continue, it’s very possible that the enemy will come and grab that area and make it a real stronghold, and bring real defeat to a believer’s life Play audio in browser: Download audio Russ Dizdar Russ Dizdar from Preemption Broadcast discusses the authority given to us by Jesus Christ to overcome spiritual oppression and the attacks of the devil… [Part 4 of a 15-Part series] Show: Preemption Broadcast Full Podcast: HOW TO GET YOURSELF AND [...] 3:19 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/03/11/freedom-from-dark-spirits-%e2%80%93-part-3/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/03/11/freedom-from-dark-spirits-%e2%80%93-part-3/#comments Sat, 12 Mar 2011 05:53:33 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6218 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/03/11/freedom-from-dark-spirits-%e2%80%93-part-3/feed/ 0 Russ Dizdar from Preemption Broadcast discusses the authority given to us by Jesus Christ to overcome spiritual oppression and the attacks of the devil… [Part 3 of a 15-Part series] Show: Preemption Broadcast Full Podcast: HOW TO GET YOURSELF AND OTHERS FREE FROM DARK SPIRITS Host: Russ Dizdar Notes: A lot of believers go around with spiritual arrows all over them–arrows where lies are sent by the enemy, and they’ve not done anything about it; We need to realize that so many things that we experience and that some Christians accept are the lies and the doubts that the enemy has sent… that we at first had been struck as an involuntary feeling… but if you let those lies sit there long enough, they will continue to build and layer; If you’re a believer, let’s get over it… we’re going to be attacked… there are going to be times where oppression and other things are coming our way; We don’t have to just sit and take it, we need to: 1) surrender everything to Jesus–open up wide to Him, 2) ask Jesus to deliver and to even attack the enemy, 3) renounce any and all sins and doors and things that we know that we’ve given room to, or even held on to some of the lies of the enemy, 4) command it all away–clear the air, 5) say “Lord Jesus refill me with the Holy Spirit”, Psalm 81:10 Play audio in browser: Download audio Russ Dizdar Russ Dizdar from Preemption Broadcast discusses the authority given to us by Jesus Christ to overcome spiritual oppression and the attacks of the devil… [Part 3 of a 15-Part series] Show: Preemption Broadcast Full Podcast: HOW TO GET YOURSELF AND [...] 2:36 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/03/10/freedom-from-dark-spirits-%e2%80%93-part-2/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/03/10/freedom-from-dark-spirits-%e2%80%93-part-2/#comments Thu, 10 Mar 2011 19:46:37 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6209 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/03/10/freedom-from-dark-spirits-%e2%80%93-part-2/feed/ 0 Russ Dizdar from Preemption Broadcast discusses the authority given to us by Jesus Christ to overcome spiritual oppression and the attacks of the devil… [Part 2 of a 15-Part series] Show: Preemption Broadcast Full Podcast: HOW TO GET YOURSELF AND OTHERS FREE FROM DARK SPIRITS Host: Russ Dizdar Notes: Ephesians 6 talks about lifting up the shield of faith, by which you will extinguish all the flaming arrows of the enemy–the evil one; There is a sender–demonic presence is sending those arrows; The arrows are involuntary thoughts and feelings that are sent directly by demons… think of it in terms of whispering out or speaking out of the spiritual realm, or sending a sense of a wave of feeling; Anything the enemy does in the area of sent, involuntary feelings or thoughts will always be stuff that’s going to lead you away from the will of God, lead you away from the victory, and bring suppression, doubt, and confusion; Satan is the author of confusion, God is not; Satan is the one that brings the attack; 1 Peter 5:8 – we’re to be self-controlled and alert; “Alert” means being aware of imminent spiritual danger; Your enemy, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour; For all the involuntary thoughts sent by the enemy, in every case there is a word of God to speak against it (like Jesus did in Matthew 4); Instead of being oppressed, we need to “stand up”, be vocal about it, quote the Word of God, and speak against the involuntary feelings and thoughts that are being sent by the demonic realm Play audio in browser: Download audio Russ Dizdar Russ Dizdar from Preemption Broadcast discusses the authority given to us by Jesus Christ to overcome spiritual oppression and the attacks of the devil… [Part 2 of a 15-Part series] Show: Preemption Broadcast Full Podcast: HOW TO GET YOURSELF AND [...] 3:23 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/03/07/freedom-from-dark-spirits-part-1/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/03/07/freedom-from-dark-spirits-part-1/#comments Tue, 08 Mar 2011 02:33:43 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6198 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/03/07/freedom-from-dark-spirits-part-1/feed/ 0 Russ Dizdar from Preemption Broadcast discusses the authority given to us by Jesus Christ to overcome spiritual oppression and the attacks of the devil… [Part 1 of a 15-Part series] Show: Preemption Broadcast Full Podcast: HOW TO GET YOURSELF AND OTHERS FREE FROM DARK SPIRITS Host: Russ Dizdar Notes: Every believer should remember Ephesians 6 about having the mighty power of God manifest in your life–put on the full armor of God; The struggle, the battle, the warfare is not against flesh and blood… it is against those rulers, principalities, powers in the heavenly realms–the full forces of darkness; This is the reason Jesus gave to us authority; Luke 10 – authority to command dark spirits out and off of individuals; Jesus said “I have given you authority to trample on the demonic realm and to overcome–have victory over–all the power of the enemy and nothing will harm you”; Four areas where we can exercise that authority and find freedom for ourselves and help others too: 1) demonic presence on the outside, 2) demonic presence on the inside, 3) demonic presence in the sense of indwelling, 4) complex possession; Demonic presence on the outside… that’s what Ephesians 6 is all about… that’s what the issue was with Peter when Jesus said “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat, but I’ve prayed for you, that your faith would not fail”; It is the outside attack–the evidence of it is when people say “I feel a cloud over me, oppression over me, oppression around me”, or oppression in a room or a house or an area–you feel oppression spiritually Play audio in browser: Download audio Russ Dizdar Russ Dizdar from Preemption Broadcast discusses the authority given to us by Jesus Christ to overcome spiritual oppression and the attacks of the devil… [Part 1 of a 15-Part series] Show: Preemption Broadcast Full Podcast: HOW TO GET YOURSELF AND [...] 3:14 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/27/on-prayer-part-2/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/27/on-prayer-part-2/#comments Mon, 28 Feb 2011 06:49:48 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6183 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/27/on-prayer-part-2/feed/ 0 Chris White from Nowhere To Run reads some powerful quotations on prayer… [Part 2 of a 2-Part series] Show: Nowhere to Run Full Podcast: NTR – Prayer is Cool Date: 2/12/11 Host: Chris White Notes: E.M.

Paul said I am nearer now to my salvation than when I believed (Romans 13:11); You are not saved by birth, you are saved when you finish the race; There is more to it than just being baptized and just receiving the Holy Ghost–there is a diligent seeking of the things of God and being renewed in your mind and your heart that must happen after you are born; You gotta grow… you gotta mature… you gotta learn to eat meat… you gotta progress; Teaching “new birth” bible studies–there are a multitude of Christians that have never gotten to the place where they would take the risk of teaching it; It’s the greatest tragedy of our generation… that we rely on a select few to teach this blessed truth, when every single one of us could teach this; Bible studies on why tongues are important, what’s the difference between the gift of tongues and the initial sign of the Holy Ghost, baptism, etc.; We have got to begin to proclaim the truth–each and every one of us–to the people that we influence; How will they know if someone doesn’t teach them?; How would that man have known what he needed to do if Philip hadn’t said, “hey, let me show you… let me explain it to you… let me expound on it a little bit for you”;

Not only was it a promise to all of them, but that same promise of God’s Spirit indwelling was made to you; The prophet said that it would be poured out upon all flesh (Joel 2:28); We are not just spirit, we are flesh… so if the Holy Ghost is being poured out upon all flesh, then it’s for me too; You cannot approach God… God approaches you; God speaks to you first… He comes to you, and then you respond to Him; He’s coming to everyone, but no one just approaches God… God approaches them; Every single person in the world that would seek God, has first been called by God; He’s called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9); He has spoken… He has opened your eyes enough to see Him, and to create a hunger in your heart; Every single person that is pursuing God has been called… and if you’ve been called, then the promise is unto you, and to your children, and all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call; The promise of the Holy Ghost is for everyone; Try to find one place in the Bible where it says it would be a bad thing if you received the baptism of the Holy Ghost… try to find one person that has experienced it that would say “it was horrible, and I wish I hadn’t done it”;

Is it necessary for you to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost? – Ephesians 1:13 – “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise“; The Acts 2 Holy Ghost experience is part of this “new birth” experience; Acts 10:1-4… after this happened, Cornelius was led to full salvation by the apostle Peter; Being devoted doesn’t save you… being a prayer warrior doesn’t save you… being a giver doesn’t save you… but rather it is the truth that saves; You must be born again of water and Spirit (John 3:5); What is the single common sign of the baptism of the Holy Ghost?; If you have evidence that you’ve received the Holy Ghost, you have a way of standing up against the words of doubt from the devil; You can say “I know I received the Holy Ghost because I spoke in a language I could not speak on my own. I didn’t learn it in school, no one taught me how to do this… it was an outflow of God filling me with the baptism of His Spirit”; It’s a sign that cannot be doubted; Isaiah 28:11 – “For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.”; Tongues was the initial or immediate evidence of the Holy Spirit baptism in Acts 2, 10, and 19… they all mentioned tongues as the sign when the Holy Ghost came Play audio in browser: Download audio Andrew Arrowood Pastor Andrew Arrowood from Valley Lighthouse in Van Nuys, CA discusses the “new birth” as revealed in Scripture… [Part 9 of an 11-Part series] Ministry: Valley Lighthouse of Van Nuys, CA Full Podcast: 2008-06-17 – 1930 – Pastor Arrowood [...] 3:29 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/20/the-new-birth-part-8/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/20/the-new-birth-part-8/#comments Sun, 20 Feb 2011 14:49:42 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6139 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/20/the-new-birth-part-8/feed/ 0 Pastor Andrew Arrowood from Valley Lighthouse in Van Nuys, CA discusses the “new birth” as revealed in Scripture… [Part 8 of an 11-Part series] Ministry: Valley Lighthouse of Van Nuys, CA Full Podcast: 2008-06-17 – 1930 – Pastor Arrowood – The New Birth Date: 6/17/08 Speaker: Andrew Arrowood Notes: The gift of the Holy Ghost; Ezekiel 36:26-27 – “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.“; Joel 2:28 – “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:”; And then it happens in Acts 2:1-4 – “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”; Jesus also prophesied this in John 7:38-39 – “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)“; You do not receive the Holy Ghost automatically when you believe… it is a separate but dynamic experience that is part of this powerful “new birth”; Acts 19:1-6 – “And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.“; Even though they had been  baptized in John’s baptism, it wasn’t enough… they were re-baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus–it’s that important; When you start looking at the Scripture and you see over and over, and the commands of God, and the abundance of proof that every single person that was baptized was baptized in the name of Jesus, and those that were baptized before they understood that, were re-baptized in the name of Jesus… then the only thing that could possibly stand between you and this truth would just be arrogance, or just religiosity–”this is the way I did it and I don’t want to change”; But these people–they understood… when they saw it, they said “we want to be re-baptized” Play audio in browser: Download audio Andrew Arrowood Pastor Andrew Arrowood from Valley Lighthouse in Van Nuys, CA discusses the “new birth” as revealed in Scripture… [Part 8 of an 11-Part series] Ministry: Valley Lighthouse of Van Nuys, CA Full Podcast: 2008-06-17 – 1930 – Pastor Arrowood [...] 3:52 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/18/the-new-birth-part-7/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/18/the-new-birth-part-7/#comments Sat, 19 Feb 2011 05:24:24 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6131 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/18/the-new-birth-part-7/feed/ 0 Pastor Andrew Arrowood from Valley Lighthouse in Van Nuys, CA discusses the “new birth” as revealed in Scripture… [Part 7 of an 11-Part series] Ministry: Valley Lighthouse of Van Nuys, CA Full Podcast: 2008-06-17 – 1930 – Pastor Arrowood – The New Birth Date: 6/17/08 Speaker: Andrew Arrowood Notes: John 14:10-11 – “Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.”; John 10:30 – “I and my Father are one.”; John 14:8-11 – “Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. “; John 14:15-20 – “If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.“; Is there any doubt that when you look at Christ you are not looking at the junior version of God, but you are looking at the God of the Old Testament robed in the flesh of humanity?… And when you receive the Spirit–the Holy Ghost–in your life, you are not receiving the third member, but rather you are receiving a portion of the very Spirit of the Old Testament–the very Spirit that made Jesus God?; John 14:25-27 – “These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”; Jesus said “I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you.”; The Holy Ghost is Jesus in spirit form; These three titles refer to the different roles of the one God–He is the Father in creation, Son in redemption, Holy Ghost in His body the church; 2 Corinthians 5:19 – “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”; It rings true with the Old Testament… Deuteronomy 6:4 – “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD“; Isaiah 9:6 – “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”; When you receive Jesus you are receiving the God of the Old Testament… when you receive the Holy Ghost, you are receiving the Spirit that was in Christ; There are not three… there is not four… there isn’t even five… there’s only One–”Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD” Play audio in browser: Download audio Andrew Arrowood Pastor Andrew Arrowood from Valley Lighthouse in Van Nuys, CA discusses the “new birth” as revealed in Scripture… [Part 7 of an 11-Part series] Ministry: Valley Lighthouse of Van Nuys, CA Full Podcast: 2008-06-17 – 1930 – Pastor Arrowood [...] 3:55 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/17/the-new-birth-part-6/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/17/the-new-birth-part-6/#comments Fri, 18 Feb 2011 03:23:38 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6123 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/17/the-new-birth-part-6/feed/ 0 Pastor Andrew Arrowood from Valley Lighthouse in Van Nuys, CA discusses the “new birth” as revealed in Scripture… [Part 6 of an 11-Part series] Ministry: Valley Lighthouse of Van Nuys, CA Full Podcast: 2008-06-17 – 1930 – Pastor Arrowood – The New Birth Date: 6/17/08 Speaker: Andrew Arrowood Notes: What about Matthew 28:19? – “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost“; Matthew 28:19 was obeyed in Acts 2:38; The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are titles, not names; Many simply repeat the Lord’s command found in 28:19, instead of actually obeying it; Jesus didn’t say “This is how I want you to baptize them… using this formula”, He said “Go baptize them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost”; They were not confused about the Godhead–they had full clarity that Jesus was the Jehovah of the Old Testament robed in flesh; They understood that there was a name that was above every name, and that name was Jesus… and that the name of Jesus was the name of the God of the Old Testament, the man that was standing in front of them, and the Spirit of the man that was going to fill them on the day of Pentecost; They understood that this was just one God, and when you evoke the name of Jesus you are evoking the name of that one God; What is the name of the Father?… John 5:43 – “I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.”; The name of the Father is Jesus; What is the name of the Son?… John 20:31 – “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”; What is the name of the Holy Ghost?… John 14:26 – “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”; The Holy Ghost is not a name, it is a title for the Spirit of God in the church today… Father is not a name, it is a title for the Creator that we understood from the very beginning… Son is not a name, it’s just a title for a role that He was playing… he was coming as the Son in redemption; This is one of the most beautiful revelations of the Bible… the message of who Jesus really is; The name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost is Jesus; The disciples never had a single conflict over baptism in the New Testament… they all did it the same way and preached it the same way–they were not confused, because they understood the oneness of God Play audio in browser: Download audio Andrew Arrowood Pastor Andrew Arrowood from Valley Lighthouse in Van Nuys, CA discusses the “new birth” as revealed in Scripture… [Part 6 of an 11-Part series] Ministry: Valley Lighthouse of Van Nuys, CA Full Podcast: 2008-06-17 – 1930 – Pastor Arrowood [...] 2:49 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/16/the-new-birth-part-5/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/16/the-new-birth-part-5/#comments Thu, 17 Feb 2011 03:32:26 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6114 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/16/the-new-birth-part-5/feed/ 0 Pastor Andrew Arrowood from Valley Lighthouse in Van Nuys, CA discusses the “new birth” as revealed in Scripture… [Part 5 of an 11-Part series] Ministry: Valley Lighthouse of Van Nuys, CA Full Podcast: 2008-06-17 – 1930 – Pastor Arrowood – The New Birth Date: 6/17/08 Speaker: Andrew Arrowood Notes: What formula was used?… The birth of the church in the second chapter of Acts made John’s baptism obsolete–it was updated when a name was added to it; John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance, or a turning away from sin; But turning away from sin was not enough, you still had the stain of sin on you; We had to have a name that took away sin; The turning from sin was a great thing, but there needed to be an actual cleansing that happened, and that cleansing that happened was when they would call upon the name of Jesus Christ; Acts 2:38 – “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins“; Acts 4:12 – “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”; If we had people that were sick and we anointed them with oil, we would not pray over them “in the name of the Holy Spirit”, or we wouldn’t say “the Jehovah of the Old Testament”… we would say “in Jesus’ name”; If we were going to pray for someone to be loosed of devils, we would pray in Jesus’ name… the one thing that gives you dominion over them is when you evoke that name… because all power is in the name of Jesus; If we would use it all those other times, why would we not want to use it when we are actually being buried with Christ, evoking His blood… why not use the name of Jesus?; Actually in Scripture, no other way was it ever done, other than by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus; Acts 8:16 – “For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.”; Acts 10:48 – “And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord“; Acts 19:5 – “When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.”; Romans 6:3 – “Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?“; Jesus’ name must be evoked verbally to have a proper baptism; Notice three questions Paul asked the church at Corinth: “Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?” (1 Corinthians 1:13); Jesus was crucified for us, so we should be baptized in Jesus‘ name; Look at Paul’s own baptism in Acts 22:16 – “And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.“; Water baptism is a command to be obeyed for salvation; Mark 16:15-16 – “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved“; Galatians 3:27 – “For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”; You “put on Christ” through baptism; Acts 2:41 – “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.“;

Every time they distinctly went down in the water and were buried, or “put under”; If you’re going to bury someone, you bury them under the earth–that’s what burial is… so if you’re going to be buried with Christ, you need to go under the water; The reason why they started sprinkling was because there was this teaching where they just wanted to make sure everybody got baptized… so as soon as someone had a baby, they just took that baby and they would baptize the baby; It’s a little inhumane to take a small baby and dunk them underwater… so they thought “we’ll just sprinkle them with water”; There was a misconception that somehow the water was holy, but really the water is just water… it’s really the obedience to the command of God–that is the key; The Bible is very clear that you ought to be buried underneath the water; Along with baptism, there had to be two conscious decisions made: first a belief in God, and secondly repentance; If you don’t have a belief in God and repentance, baptism means nothing; All of us have gone under the water before, but you have to have those two elements with it Play audio in browser: Download audio Andrew Arrowood Pastor Andrew Arrowood from Valley Lighthouse in Van Nuys, CA discusses the “new birth” as revealed in Scripture… [Part 4 of an 11-Part series] Ministry: Valley Lighthouse of Van Nuys, CA Full Podcast: 2008-06-17 – 1930 – Pastor Arrowood [...] 2:48 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/14/the-new-birth-part-3/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/14/the-new-birth-part-3/#comments Tue, 15 Feb 2011 05:17:20 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6097 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/14/the-new-birth-part-3/feed/ 0 Pastor Andrew Arrowood from Valley Lighthouse in Van Nuys, CA discusses the “new birth” as revealed in Scripture… [Part 3 of an 11-Part series] Ministry: Valley Lighthouse of Van Nuys, CA Full Podcast: 2008-06-17 – 1930 – Pastor Arrowood – The New Birth Date: 6/17/08 Speaker: Andrew Arrowood Notes: The fulfillment of the command to the early church; Acts 2:38 – “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”; Acts 10:48 – “And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord.”; Acts 19:5 – “When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.“; How was the early church baptized?; The word “baptism” comes from a Greek word “baptizo”, meaning to dunk, immerse, or soak; John 3:23; Matthew 3:16; Acts 8:38-39; Every time it defines how they were baptized, they were always immersed in water, and every time there was a distinct formula that was used… they evoked the name of Jesus Christ, which is the saving name; The Bible says in Acts there is only one name that takes away sin, and that’s the name of Jesus; Matthew 28:19 and the synoptic gospels… they all agree with one another–when you really define it, it’s talking about using the name of God; We define what that name was from Isaiah 9:6, that the name of God is Jesus; When you evoke the name of Jesus, you are evoking the name of the Savior… the name of the One that died for you… that shed His blood for you; You are also buried with Him, which is another part of repentance… you leave the old man there, and then you leave and you live a different way Play audio in browser: Download audio Andrew Arrowood Pastor Andrew Arrowood from Valley Lighthouse in Van Nuys, CA discusses the “new birth” as revealed in Scripture… [Part 3 of an 11-Part series] Ministry: Valley Lighthouse of Van Nuys, CA Full Podcast: 2008-06-17 – 1930 – Pastor Arrowood [...] 2:28 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/13/the-new-birth-part-2/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/13/the-new-birth-part-2/#comments Mon, 14 Feb 2011 04:03:14 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6086 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/13/the-new-birth-part-2/feed/ 0 Pastor Andrew Arrowood from Valley Lighthouse in Van Nuys, CA discusses the “new birth” as revealed in Scripture… [Part 2 of an 11-Part series] Ministry: Valley Lighthouse of Van Nuys, CA Full Podcast: 2008-06-17 – 1930 – Pastor Arrowood – The New Birth Date: 6/17/08 Speaker: Andrew Arrowood Notes: If there is a God, and He has a plan… then there has to be truth; Therefore we have the responsibility to diligently seek that truth after repentance; The next step would be obedient to what He is asking us to do… what He requires of us; Water baptism–Old Testament typology; 1 Peter 3:20-21; Exodus 30:18-21; Water baptism has two distinct things that it does: washing and burial; Matthew 3:5-6; The remitting (removal) of sins–when you are baptized in Jesus’ name, your sins are not just forgiven, but they are removed; It is like you had your record expunged, and there is no record of your sin; The God that knows all things… does not remember–it is forgotten forever; Romans 6:4 – “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Play audio in browser: Download audio Andrew Arrowood Pastor Andrew Arrowood from Valley Lighthouse in Van Nuys, CA discusses the “new birth” as revealed in Scripture… [Part 2 of an 11-Part series] Ministry: Valley Lighthouse of Van Nuys, CA Full Podcast: 2008-06-17 – 1930 – Pastor Arrowood [...] 3:01 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/12/the-new-birth-part-1/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/12/the-new-birth-part-1/#comments Sat, 12 Feb 2011 18:52:24 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6066 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/12/the-new-birth-part-1/feed/ 0 I’m going to be sharing my own personal apostolic testimony in the near future, but for the time being here is Pastor Andrew Arrowood discussing “the new birth” as revealed in Scripture… [Part 1 of an 11-Part series] Ministry: Valley Lighthouse of Van Nuys, CA Full Podcast: 2008-06-17 – 1930 – Pastor Arrowood – The New Birth Date: 6/17/08 Speaker: Andrew Arrowood Notes: We all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and we were all in need of a Savior; Jesus’ message is very clear to sinners… it was repentance; Luke 24:45-47 – “Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.“; Two things would be preached… repentance and remission of sins; He didn’t just preach turning away from sin, but actually the removal of sin, which can only happen through baptism; Repentance and remission of sins would be preached in His name, and it would begin in Jerusalem; This was fulfilled in Acts 2:38; This was the first sermon preached from the new church, and it was preached in Jerusalem; Peter’s sermon said, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.“; Repentance means the act of turning about–an about face, from sin, to God; Matthew 3:8; Matthew 4:17; True repentance is the first step to God; Repentance prepares our heart to obey the scriptures further; Hebrews 11:6; Acts 2:21; Matthew 7:21; Jesus is very clear that church attendance and simple easy believism is not the new birth experience; Faith is our first step toward God, but that faith will always produce action Play audio in browser: Download audio Andrew Arrowood I’m going to be sharing my own personal apostolic testimony in the near future, but for the time being here is Pastor Andrew Arrowood discussing “the new birth” as revealed in Scripture… [Part 1 of an 11-Part series] Ministry: Valley [...] 3:45 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/09/a-real-message-for-a-real-world-part-7/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/09/a-real-message-for-a-real-world-part-7/#comments Thu, 10 Feb 2011 02:58:12 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6054 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/09/a-real-message-for-a-real-world-part-7/feed/ 0 Pastor Rodney Shaw from New Life Church in Austin, TX preaches on finding opportunities to get people in the presence of God, where God can change their lives… [Part 7 of a 7-Part series] Ministry: New Life Church of Austin, TX Full Podcast: A Real Message for a Real World Date: 1/23/11 Speaker: Rodney Shaw Notes: All the things that we can offer socially are just a triage service… we’re just putting tourniquets on wounds and stopping the bleeding, we’re not really doing anything permanently unless we can get them in the presence of God, where God can change their lives; We need to see a miraculous move of God’s Spirit; In his last known letter before his death, Paul says as emphatically as possible to Timothy… “preach the Word“–”Timothy, preach the gospel, because it’s the only hope that this world has… and it’s what the church has been called to do.”; Our focus has to be single, and that is we are a light in a dark place, we are a city set on a hill, and the unique thing we bring to the table is the gospel of Jesus Christ… it’s the power of God… it pulls people out of darkness;

It’s a work of God’s Spirit that we need… it’s what our world needs; They don’t need another option or alternative, they need a move of the Spirit in their lives; They need God Himself to quicken them and move them and stir them, and do miraculous things in them… that’s what they need Play audio in browser: Download audio Rodney Shaw Pastor Rodney Shaw from New Life Church in Austin, TX preaches on the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives… [Part 6 of a 7-Part series] Ministry: New Life Church of Austin, TX Full Podcast: A Real Message for a Real World Date: 1/23/11 Speaker: [...] 2:35 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/07/a-real-message-for-a-real-world-part-5/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/07/a-real-message-for-a-real-world-part-5/#comments Tue, 08 Feb 2011 03:40:39 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=6037 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/07/a-real-message-for-a-real-world-part-5/feed/ 0 Pastor Rodney Shaw from New Life Church in Austin, TX preaches on the real hope for the world today… Jesus Christ.

[Part 4 of a 7-Part series] Ministry: New Life Church of Austin, TX Full Podcast: A Real Message for a Real World Date: 1/23/11 Speaker: Rodney Shaw Notes: The problem with America is our morality; The issue of life is a great example: those who oppose abortion sometimes are the loudest advocates for war… and those who are the loudest advocates against war are advocates for abortion, so it’s just pick whose life you want to take… “let’s go take adult lives, or let’s take kid lives”; Life is precious in whatever form you find it, and a Christian should avoid all possibilities that they would be put in the circumstance to have to take another life; The real problem with America is not that we took prayer out of schools–If we had godly judges, we wouldn’t have taken prayer out of schools… if we had praying teachers and administrators, we wouldn’t have taken prayer out of schools… if we had praying parents, we wouldn’t have taken prayer out of schools… if we had a praying electorate, we would not keep voting in people who don’t pray; Our legislators call in chaplains to open their sessions with prayer, and then they don’t let them pray in the name of Jesus; The real problem with America is spiritual bankruptcy; America’s problem is not a political problem; The early church turned their world upside down and they had no political power; The early church had a transforming influence on the world so that in a matter of a few centuries the whole known world was Christianized, but they couldn’t vote against the morality of Rome; They preached the gospel, and they preached miracles and signs following; They didn’t have a social gospel or a club gospel, or something that was politically correct or socially palpable… they preached a message of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ crucified; They preached a message that when people heard it and they believed it their lives were transformed, and things happened in people’s hearts–not because of legislation–but because of the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ Play audio in browser: Download audio Rodney Shaw Pastor Rodney Shaw from New Life Church in Austin, TX discusses the real problem with America… spiritual bankruptcy, as well as the real solution for America… the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Legislating morality for the immoral is not a sustainable model; Telling sinners not to sin has never worked; Romans 7; The law provides us a way, but it provides us no power to go in the way; Paul tells us that the wisdom of God is foolishness to the ungodly; If we look to legislation for our morality, we could be in great trouble someday because legislation is passed by a group of politicians; The big question in a pluralistic society is… whose morality do you want to pass as law?; In a pluralistic society, we can’t depend on legislation as we did even 2-3 generations ago; That does not minimize our responsibility to do what we need to do… it does not minimize our attempts at every level and every opportunity to stop people from murdering other people, and to stop immorality;

You can’t take a pacifist view with regard to morality–if you have the capacity to intervene and you don’t intervene, then you’re morally culpable; We can’t claim moral innocence, isolation, and neutrality, when we actually possess some capacities to intervene; March for Life… taking a stand for righteousness and against murder; The church transcends politics–it plays a unique role in the moral debate in society; Although we should participate in the political process, the church must always affirm that our hope is ultimately not political… our choices in politics are simply a result of the faith that we have in God Play audio in browser: Download audio Rodney Shaw Pastor Rodney Shaw from New Life Church in Austin, TX discusses the unique role of the church in the moral debate in society… [Part 2 of a 7-Part series] Ministry: New Life Church of Austin, TX Full Podcast: A Real Message for a Real World Date: [...] 2:36 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/01/a-real-message-for-a-real-world-part-1/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/01/a-real-message-for-a-real-world-part-1/#comments Tue, 01 Feb 2011 16:33:20 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=5989 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/02/01/a-real-message-for-a-real-world-part-1/feed/ 0 Pastor Rodney Shaw from New Life Church in Austin, TX preaches on how we should view sin and evil in our society and in this world… [Part 1 of a 7-Part series] Ministry: New Life Church of Austin, TX Full Podcast: A Real Message for a Real World Date: 1/23/11 Speaker: Rodney Shaw Notes: We need a very strong disdain for evil in this world; We need to hate what sin does to people; Evil must be resisted; Psalm 97:10 – “You who love the Lord, hate evil“; We ought to have a hate–not for people–but for evil… a hate for the spirits that would undermine the peace of God and the harmony of creation as God has instilled it; Evil must be rejected categorically and definitively–it’s not something that we flirt with or dabble in; We need to have a wholesome disdain for godlessness, sin, and evil, because it destroys the lives of people; We have to fight for what is right; We need to stand against immorality… it comes in our society in big waves like tidal waves in the ocean, and it washes over our entire society; If you can vote against immorality, you should do so no matter which party you vote for;

Wurmbrand’s Appeal For Christian Love For Terrorists Today Date: 11/1/10 Hosts: Dr. Future & Tom Bionic Guest: Todd Nettleton Notes: The last line that Reverand Wurmbrand gives us in his book is “start by changing yourself“; You become more peaceful, you become more loving, and pretty soon, if all of us do that, we’ll start to have a world that is more peaceful and more loving; It’s a charge that you can’t walk away from and you can’t pass it off to somebody else… it’s on you to take the truth that you have and to start making it more a part of your life; You have to first believe that the Holy Spirit has the power in each of us to make this change one-on-one in people… it’s not necessarily a ballot box or any other power structures that are the key to win the battle, but it’s the Holy Spirit one-on-one in each one of us; You also have to acknowledge that these battles are spiritual battles, and not physical battles; When it says in the Bible that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers and rulers in these dark places… if we’re going to have a struggle or anything regarding hatred, it should be addressed to the principalities and powers of darkness who stand condemned, rather than the human pawns that are in this physical sphere that are just a mere shadow of the spiritual battle that is truly going on; We have access to the power to change ourselves… not literally us changing ourselves, but allowing God to change us; When you see a terrorist and you see that God loves them and that God can change them, that changes your whole mindset of how you’re going to address them and interact with them, not as somebody to fear and hate, but as somebody who Jesus died for that needs to hear the message of the gospel… that’s a completely different mindset; Christians should get together and pray for these people, that God would illuminate their minds to what they’re doing, to fill them with the love of Jesus Christ, and somehow make a way that they could know about Jesus Play audio in browser: Download audio Todd Nettleton Dr. Future and Tom Bionic discuss the book “Jesus: Friend to Terrorists“, by Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, with Todd Nettleton, Director of Media Development for Voice of the Martyrs… [Part 4 of a 4-Part series] Show: Future Quake Full Podcast: [...] 4:16 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/01/27/jesus-friend-to-terrorists-part-3/ http://wakingjonah.com/2011/01/27/jesus-friend-to-terrorists-part-3/#comments Thu, 27 Jan 2011 17:07:32 +0000 Jacob http://wakingjonah.com/?p=5943 http://wakingjonah.com/2011/01/27/jesus-friend-to-terrorists-part-3/feed/ 0 Dr. Future and Tom Bionic discuss the book “Jesus: Friend to Terrorists“, by Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, with Todd Nettleton, Director of Media Development for Voice of the Martyrs… [Part 3 of a 4-Part series] Show: Future Quake Full Podcast: Rev.

Show: Future Quake Full Podcast: Annual Predictions Show Extravaganza Date: 12/31/10 Hosts: Dr. Future & Tom Bionic Topics: Waking Jonah prediction read on the Future Quake Show in 2009: 9/11 Truth will hit mainstream media via Glenn Beck in late 2010, maybe around September. There will be a backlash against mainstream evangelical Christianity who will defend the Bush Administration and the “global war on terror” despite the clear evidence that will begin to appear in mainstream media revealing the Bush Administration either “made it happen” or “let it happen”.
