The white guy doing and we just couldn't appear in the studio before the show but I just like to write down. We got up we got guest on the Mike Roy we do things, but to make college, play together and work on state several years back and love of board since I've known them back in childhood for a committeeman as I was by vocation for several years as pastor professional engineering plagued pros for several years of looking for to have him join so that I want you introduce yourself give a little bit of background about yourself and not I can give you an overview with a few details and then will lead off until discussion today and think background, direct director of outreach and help you write you write rolling when it waited out on every play removed him and Andre doing engineering and payment, husband and father and got there, that's great. Thank you again for joining us where were super excited to have you with us and folks, thank you for joining us.

We know these very difficult times when right now but you know the great part is God's got no surprises to him. He was looking for. This new was coming and that allowed it to happen and not talk about that the today show and just in case some of you may be thinking about what that is, of course, it's the: 19 crisis, among other things back where in the middle of a fight. We're in the middle of a war we have faced the enemy and the enemy never wins if you know the Lord Jesus Christ. God is blessing us to go through a time and a season with this and so as God's people. We don't fear what is happening out there. We don't know that because the person who we fear is the Lord in the end, the Lord is his name. Proverbs 1 and seven says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction greatly and will unfold before we get started. We just need to apologize.

We are having some technical difficulties of your hearing will static a little hiss in the backgrounds because I just had to call in on the show today will get some noise telephone lines so please bear with us. It will be with us, most likely throughout the show. We do pray about ahead of time, but just understand that noises which hearing it's not your radio access accessible broadcasting side.

God is good anyway and we got to get that's exactly the will thank you. That's the beginning healthy for your right. The Lord, and not be with. Don't confuse being scared with fear. That's right here is out of love and respect of what the consequences are for disobedience right because when we talk about fear of the Lord were talking about reverential fear, fearing God for who he is in a course we know in the Gospels, Jesus said don't fear the one who is able to kill the body but fear of the one who is able to kill the body, and soul in hell. A man so we we reverential fear of the Lord because we know who we so that we know that you have put a message out this week to your your group of folks that you deal with on a regular basis want to share a little bit about your take on the situation that were in the middle of right now globally how you think God is moving through this. Why do you think this was allowed to happen and will all come to chime in will and myself as you're moving through may ask a few questions along the way to our listeners to feel like were sitting there with them because we got the same and have heard the same questions they probably have and have had these conversations for weeks now about how God's role what God's role is in this whole process will Lord our God, and you will redo it.

Have basically played like every day and always and right. Endemic teen 13 to 14 Holy Spirit was bringing back to my men's ministry and brought it back to my that the believer more of foreshadowing of prophetic things repeated and I believe in wearing his other minute. Got it resonated with the renewal and the resurrection representation of the past when Israel delivered and hard worldwide prayer. You and your group invite all jointed unite important or unite 714.com is a prayer prayer plane. This movement around the world happening right then and women across churches and pastors are praying.

7:14 AM 14 P every day I what Verizon right now about being aware of the spiritual warfare around public college. Pray: people are really, I recognize the power of the blood and delivery that Pat judgment and he would come into a resurrection greater weight through art and ordinate world Lord and got the plane for screening, 13, 14, and give the major objective Scripture number one.

Be on the alert, being aware of a continental living but no matter how we got here through the thing happening right everywhere okay that now we physically virtually we have got on the other.

God willing to do in real the builder character internal workout nine of the work out the way you want, but that fasting and praying it really did make an impact on the next and they believe in God. Good all the time and if you're walking in faith not talked about earlier 17 God not given.

The company, but when given our Holy Spirit love and down my you look at the fact you look at it.

They not hear and act like that date and at least be mature about this thing will be led by your feelings or emotions or by you want to get out and then bistro that only come in the body can in where he is. His blog hours: three physical plant, you notice if you pull it and cut a road to look pretty for about a week but we only way we can be strong one out that I meditate I know in the last thing that everything you do lot that first John 419 love because the first log data is just a physical disk because you know you can be social.

You know you can call back Facebook all the thing you know you went back to whatever you do, but don't be emotionally friendly.

You know I was walking by their head down, you know, because they're afraid that encounter you that knowledge you way that the thing on the alert and affirmative fate act like men to be strong in all all that you do be done in love.

Workers are what that regard, the circumstances, I reach out and you know that when you talk about that just brought to mind that this is time for man to step up in reference to leaving their family and through this and what's happening around the country in the world because the family is looking to you man.

They're looking to you and so are you going to possess that spirit of courage and are you going to be that person whom God has called to carry his word through this crisis and to your family so that they can be a light for the individuals who they come in contact with you know, because it's the it's the invisible world that drives the physical world. So when you were talking about Ephesians 6 we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, etc. spiritual wickedness and darkness of this work. These are the things that drive the physical so when we are in this battle. We cannot go by the things that we see. We only see the result of what's happening behind the scenes in that spiritual. That's right. And that's what we have to be reminded of its it is a spiritual battle in the matter what the physical evidences or presence. It's all comes down to spiritual battle and that's what got started.

I think reveal to us right now you know there's life beyond this we call human life is eternal life in God's call this back to him right back to you.

We back man talk radio and right or the break Roy. We were talking about that this is a battle from the unseen world here from the spiritual realm. We know when we will we encounter things like this, you know, we have to understand as we were saying that it's the invisible world that drives those things that we see in the physical right so what is it, then I think the question I like to pose to pack that. How has this crisis we call it that, that we are in right now.

How has this affected you spiritually called me really corrected and that you will and I really look at that game plan that that that are here earlier. Very and that one day that we were not allowed to go to church or that country must family and our well-being of many unknown any great description and second Corinthians and 55. She very And that is what would Jesus do, and the knowledge of God. God father and pressed into a good father and his adopted son Craig with bold confidence and from one that it is just really another level of sleep. We got to the plate and brought to mind Joshua one half and wary about.

Be strong and courageous and three-way that he was talking about the promise is present. However, in his and his plan was meditate on the workday and now I know just really got to meet the integrated think it proclaimed that and take out that because I was weird entered on being where the players are right though no money more foreman, though it just brought more minded. Contact him coach is how God given practical thing like in the Lord's prayer but your kingdom come, and will be gone where were you wanted to come it will be done right and that first part of the prayer bodyguard rate. How many given all be aware and praying that God. Romans 1417 of right joy into your family and into your your colleague really getting like body beyond the through the eyes of the third year on of what next and that rail.

Think of all really count the right that you know it's interesting because I think every person, every follower of Christ is affected has been affected differently. You summers have a different insight some mercy. My prayer life has been good. It will continue to beget this journey in my my piece will be good because it has been before this journey and it will be through this journey. I think there's a there's a lot of different venues in a while, so your ministry work is basically come to a grinding halt because of the school systems not being allowed to meet can't meet face-to-face with coaches, although sorts of things that you're so active in it so you your nurses have to change you because your focus is had changed, that you no longer personal content. Now you're in the spiritual back to spiritual. You're now a spiritual relationship behind those coaches and those players that your have been supporting for years for me.

One of things that we talked about for get started in second Timothy chapter 3 is talks about godlessness in the last days and we talked about this topic. The previous show was that you the day after Christ rose then time started right.

That was the beginning of the end times were now 2000+ years later you know 25 years ago we would never thought that we would see so many wrong things in our society. Being said, called right. But now we've turned all the things that used to be wrong into right is a second Timothy chapter 3 godlessness in the last days want to share this with the few men in our listeners. But understand this, that in the last days there will come times are difficult for people will be lovers of self, lovers of money crowd arrogant, abusive, disobedient to the pants ungrateful, unholy, heartless on the peaceable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good which could be translated as loving, wrong, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness but denying its power. Avoid such people from among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women burn the sins led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth and I will eat it. Now that's a great passage of Scripture will because I think when when we look throughout history as we talk about a think on last week and the week before last show we look down through history, and we see all kinds of crisis that have happened and a course we didn't live through some of those crisis but we can read about them and so we talked about like you know when the people in the 1300s went through the bubonic plague they thought hey, this is the last days coming upon as those who were born again you know and then in 1918 with the play that hit Europe.

You know they they said this is the last days. You know the Lord is coming soon, so anything now here we are in this time. And we're looking around and we're seeing how you're prepared the world. He has not just the United States but were world was in reference to dealing with this crisis that we are in.

So the word of God for you read is, it definitely speaks to the things that I think God wants to get away from so that we can come back to him and you know if nothing else, I agree there with with the pack is that it should strengthen the prayer life of those who have them pray because they say oh I'm late for work. I gotta get the kids to school or take a massage you know all these things and have discipline and so now God is saying okay no snow soccer practice. No NBA, no NFL, no NHL. So now you can concentrate and you can pray yet you can get together as a family come back together as a family and this is why we stress and yes taking that leadership. That's right, that's a great point will consume. I was talking forgive me when Melissa last day or two.

This whole thing was about the family they get their perspective was that God was pulling the family back together can't go to the restaurant.

You can go to movie theaters can go to ball games can go to school to go to work at work from home for those with continue working. So what is the byproduct of all that family is being forced back together and if the men will take the leadership role during this time. Stand tall stand peaceful stand comforted knowing that God's got you and lead your family to the club foot of the cross every day and talk to Jesus and talk to God with your family.

Show them that this is what it's all about a man listen what he said in Isaiah 26, beginning with verse number two.

Open the gates that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter an you will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you trust in the Lord forever for being you. The Lord is ever lasting strength, for he brings down those who dwell on high. The holy city.

He lays it low.

He lays it low to the ground while he just laid low know he bring it all away down, he brings it down to dust the foot shall tread it down feet of the poor and the steps of the meeting while know that it says a lot.

It says a lot about the nation who comes back to God.

God will begin to open himself up and start to reveal himself even more and more and more. The closer we get to him and and and this is this is the point that we read we need to be drawn back while think that's the whole point of this exercise crisis that were in. You know he's used many minivans was through the years, many, many pastors many laypeople to spread the gospel but through social media. I think it has run off the road so quickly and so so I guess on heavenly and ungodly because of all the mess that's out there, but took on a conversation right is no longer write wrong is now running so he said hey enough and he is taking it globally. Look how fast this past October November.

Here we are the first second is global exactly and only God can allow that and I and only God can bring us to believe we are coming down to the end of the show, but we're going to pick up next week show we going to talk bring Pat back and we can talk some more about what's happening in our world today. We thank you for listing and course ROI.

How do we become born-again folks, if you listen have made decision for Christ centered, recognize that Christ died for you are covered by the blood rose on the third day and sits beside the father. Are you gonna say father I have sinned Jesus into my heart stop following Christ from this day forward the body fellowship will start meeting face-to-face again. Meanwhile, get on the social media network funded worshipers will start feeding into and you know you don't really have to wait until you come together because there's live streaming on Facebook and all these watch parties is going on in reference to how we can come together virtually is also don't wait come together and man get out there and lead your family.

They are waiting for you to lead them in fellowship and in truth joins and I will as we wrap up today show.
