Speaker Identification

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host / Preacher
Identified from repeated direct references to "Bradley," first-person references to his ministry, wife Stephanie, sons, church family, radio work, Minnesota State Fair outreach, and the fact that he delivers the primary sermon throughout the recording.

Speaker 2 - Stephanie - Prerecorded Minnesota State Fair Compilation Voice
Bradley explicitly identifies Stephanie as his wife and introduces a humorous compilation she made about the Minnesota State Fair before her prerecorded voice is heard. Some brief voices or interactions within the fair recording cannot be reliably separated from Stephanie and are therefore not assigned additional identities.

Speaker 3 - Prerecorded Praise-and-Worship Vocalist(s)
Several songs are played during the opening praise-and-worship portion. The transcript does not identify the performers, so no singer or group identity has been guessed.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Good morning, everybody. Again, we're starting a little bit earlier for the purpose of getting everything up and running. We're going to go back to what we were originally doing with the music for copyright purposes, and we'll scatter ourselves among the genres to put music out there that everybody likes. We're going to continue on. This one's called "Truth." I've got a story behind this one, as a matter of fact. God is in control, folks. The bad guys are not in control. The Lord is sovereign. Period.

Speaker 3 - Prerecorded Praise-and-Worship Vocalist(s)

[Song: "Truth" - title stated by the host]

Our fathers warned that it would come to this, but just hold your heart and know that the final truth is: God is in control.

Though men conspire, His will unfolds. Though our minds are sometimes left to doubt, His ways are higher than our ways. So even through the fire, God is in control.

Does it seem like your world is a maze of confusion? [Several words in this verse are unclear in the source transcript.] The saints who've held on before would charge you to rest assured: God is in control.

His ways are higher than our ways. So even through the fire, take heart and know: God is in control.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Is it true? Absolutely, it's true. I'm humored when people say that the bad guys are in control. They're in control of nothing. The transcript references "Matthew 20, verse 18" here; that reference may require verification. It's the people who allow the bad guys to bear rule over them, and that is the truth of the matter. We're doing praise and worship right now. Again, we started a little bit early for the purpose of kicking off a couple more songs. I do want to say, I've got a couple of surprises for you all, my church family. I love my church family. 1 John 3:18. Stephanie decided to throw a little compilation together concerning what it's like at the Minnesota State Fair. I think some of you are going to be humored by it, and we'll play that for you in just a couple of minutes. I think you're going to see a little bit of a different side to my wife and to the ministry, because there is a sense of humor here. You have to have a sense of humor, because if you don't, you're going to absolutely lose your mind with much of what you have to deal with. This is seven days a week for us, friends. We're all the way in. We're in the "Holy Ghost mob," to put it a different way, because as you know, when you're in the mob, you can never get out. We don't ever want to get out, and that's exactly where we are. We're still waiting for people to come in. We'll play a couple more praise-and-worship songs unto the Lord, Psalm 33:3, and in the meantime, I'll get to that surprise for you in just a couple of minutes.

Speaker 3 - Prerecorded Praise-and-Worship Vocalist(s)

[Song: "I Exalt Thee"]

I exalt Thee, I exalt Thee, I exalt Thee, O Lord.

We exalt Thee, O Lord.

For Thou, O Lord, art high above all the earth. Thou art exalted far above all gods.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Hey, man, I love that song. That was one of the first songs I ever heard when I first got into the church, and it has stuck with me ever since. I love that song. Why? Because it's all to Him and to Him alone. Let's play this one again, friends. We haven't played this one in a while Again, just listen to the lyrics; they're fantastic. Regardless of whether you like the genre or not, as you can see, I'm trying to give everybody a little of what they enjoy. I'm not people-pleasing; I just love all types of music, and I'm trying to make sure everybody likes a little bit of what's being played here as far as praise-and-worship music goes. Love this one. Look at the lyrics. Read the lyrics. We all need these lyrics.

Speaker 3 - Prerecorded Praise-and-Worship Vocalist(s)

[Song: "Open My Eyes Lord" - title inferred from the repeated refrain in the transcript]

It feels like I'm standing still in a world moving fast, watching people scramble, seeking things that won't last. Jesus came from heaven to save me from my sin. I need to take a breath and let that thought sink in.

How can He love me so firmly when I'm so unworthy? How can He not see darkness in me when I feel so guilty? Open my eyes, Lord, and help me to see beyond my past, Lord, and what's in front of me. Lord, You set me free, so help me to let go. Fulfill my destiny; be the man You know. Open my eyes, Lord. Open my eyes.

I need to do better since Jesus paid the cost, and I must remember He came here for the lost. I've got to get on my knees; I need to seek Him first. Grateful to the One who frees; He loved me at my worst.

Hold me through the longest night. O Lord, let my spirit rise. See myself with heaven's eyes. Open my eyes, Lord. Open my eyes.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Somebody just posted concerning our church family: "Every time I come and listen to the praise-and-worship music over here, I break." That's because you're coming hungry. That's what's going on. You're coming hungry, and the Lord promised that those who hunger and thirst shall be filled. That's exactly what's happening. It is the very purpose of the anointing that breaks the yoke of bondage, Isaiah 10:27. That had everything in the world to do with that last song. It's interesting: other people complain about the music, and then you know what you're dealing with. But if they understood what we're trying to do here, it's not so much about the music as it is about us together as a church family. Praise is unto the Lord. I'm pleased when I see people come and say that when they're in praise and worship, they're getting broken. I'll tell you what, that's the best place to be, because if you're an empty cup, He can fill you up. That's exactly what He does to those who come empty. I'm with you, by the way. I just want to let you know: while these praise-and-worship songs are playing, I'm over here praising the Lord, too, behind the screen you're not seeing. My son and my wife are listening to the lyrics as well. We're going to play two more songs. Again, we started a little early and we're waiting for the rest of our church family. In the meantime, enjoy.

Speaker 3 - Prerecorded Praise-and-Worship Vocalist(s)

[Contemporary Christian song - title not stated]

When it comes to me and You, Lord, I'm trying to find my way. Though I'm here on my own, I can't do this alone, no matter what they say. Lord, why does it feel like You left me? Every time I try, I seem to get the same old result. My mind won't stop. Is it my fault?

Lord, where else should I go? You have the words of life. Lord, I choose to follow You, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

[The remainder of this song is heavily garbled in the automated transcript and cannot be reconstructed confidently without inventing lyrics. The source contains an extended vocalization followed by several unclear lines. See Items Requiring Verification.]

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
My goodness, folks, that's my baby. I mean, that is like my baby who's not a baby anymore. It's like when the Bible says life is but a vapor. Life is but a vapor, isn't it? Yeah, it really is. You know what I was going to tell you too, church family? Welcome, by the way, if you're new here. I do want to let you know that I get tons of testimonials, and I need to start reading those for you. I'm also going to share some things with you in just a couple of minutes concerning our little Addie, our 16-year-old Addie, who just took first for the night and third overall over the weekend. As a matter of fact, if you don't mind, I'm just going to go ahead and play this for you right now. This is our little Addie. She's part of our church family, right now. She's in northern Minnesota, and I'll tell you what, folks, she is out there doing this stuff. Sixteen years old - she took first and then third overall over the weekend. I just want to tell you, we're proud of you, kid. Congratulations, Addie. We just wanted to throw that out there for you. I don't know if I'm just getting old or what's going on, but it's interesting: I was doing an event out at KHNC 1360 in Johnstown, Colorado, about a week ago. I believe it was on a Friday; I could be corrected, but I believe it was a Friday. I did the event, and the anointing was present. People can't explain it. They think it's their emotions. They just say something overcomes them. Well, something is overcoming you; it's the Holy Ghost, and that's exactly what He comes to do. First of all, He comes to convict of sin, righteousness, and judgment. Remember, He never comforts a man who is in known sin. The speaker who came up behind me seemed to have a little bit of an attitude problem - not toward me, but just toward the world. Before he knew it, he fell under the power of the Holy Ghost. He's up there crying like a fat baby with a wet diaper on, and he couldn't explain to anybody in that room what was going on. It seemed to go from him being angry to being elated, and he couldn't explain it. My family, and I were sitting in the back, watching this and saying, "Amen." It was really kind of cool to see the transition take place. I thought I'd throw that in there because I just felt the same way when I was watching little Addie's victory run. I'm thinking to myself, yes, we're very proud of you. And it's like, why am. I breaking down here so heavily? It's because that's what the anointing does. We're going to play one more song, and then we're going to get to it. I've got a surprise for my church family, and I'll show you another side of the ministry. Here we go - one of my favorite songs, absolutely one of my favorite songs.

Speaker 3 - Prerecorded Praise-and-Worship Vocalist(s)

[Traditional gospel/hymn segment - the repeated refrain is transcribed as "We'll understand it better by and by."]

Lord, You know that I've been [unclear], so there's no use in hiding my sins. Heavenly Father, please forgive me. I really don't want to [unclear].

When I come to the end of my journey, [unclear lyric], the battle is won, carrying the cross of redemption, we'll understand it better by and by Lord, sometimes I feel like [unclear]. You know the world has so many deep lies. Almighty God, give me just a little more time to right all the wrong that I have done.

We'll understand it better by and by.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Okay, that will conclude our music for now. We're going to get into the content in just a couple of minutes, but first. I want to go over something. I just promised you. I want to show you a side of the ministry that most people don't know, because in order to keep your sanity, you have to have a little bit of humor in what you do. So I want to show you exactly what we're talking about. [Several seconds of the source transcript are heavily garbled here and cannot be reconstructed confidently without inventing wording. See Items Requiring Verification.]. It's not just the kids, folks. It's for the older people as well. Remember, "wisdom is justified of her children," Luke 7:35. Look at this little man looking up at [unclear name/phrase], Christian, and tracking him as well. And then there's Judah. Boy, oh boy, I just have to say, folks, they are not babies anymore. How fast that goes just blows me away. It truly does. You ask older people what it was like at the youngest age they can remember, and I'll tell you, it's just like yesterday.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Well, going back to the Minnesota State Fair here, we have pink and blues. Those are tracts, folks, and they're optical illusions and the point is, if I can get you asking the wrong questions,. I don't have to worry about giving you the right answers, right? And what we do is we give these to the young people when they fail the test, because nine times out of 10s, they do fail the test and we then hand them over, and then they're tracts. In many cases, they don't know that they're tracks but I always tell them, listen, you got the Ten Commandments, the schoolmaster that leads men unto Christ,. Galatians 3:24. That's what's on what I just gave you. Here's another picture. This one's brand new.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
This is Christian at the Minnesota State Fair. This is Sam at the Minnesota State Fair By the way, Sam's taking time off from work to come down and help us as well and we just totally appreciate all of the people who have come down thus far to say hello at the Minnesota State Fair. Again, we're at the Minnesota State Fair. We've got about eight days to go. This is year 16-17. I do want to let you know if you're in the Midwest, please come and take the time to say hello to us folks, We're here for you and we are out there doing what we're called to do and I'm talking about Luke 16, or, I'm sorry, 19-10,. Mark 16-15, and also going over to Luke. And what am. I talking about? And Luke, I'm talking about verse 47 and it tells us, and that repentance of remission of sin should be preached in his name among all nations.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Notice what the message was again, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations beginning in Jerusalem during that particular time. We are on the bottom floor of the Minnesota State Fair,. Grandstand, bottom floor East End, two rows in. Bottom floor, Grandstand, that's where they play all the music, okay? And interestingly enough, we're on the bottom floor. We're right under where all those people are, which is fantastic. We are, by the way, too. Our new neighbors are Black Lives Matter, and they are just fantastic kids, they truly are. They're just being used as a political battering ram. That's it, nothing more, nothing less but that's where we are right next to the Black Lives Matter booth,. East End of the Grandstand, bottom floor, two rows in.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Okay, so here it is. Now, you all listen to Stephanie's music, and I just want to introduce you to another side of Stephanie. I first met Stephanie when I was in the rock and roll world. I didn't meet her in person. I was watching her on television, and she was doing Cost Cutters commercials, and not just Cost Cutters commercials, but she was also doing Best Buy commercials and little did. I know. I was actually looking at my wife a year and a half, two years before I ever met her. She also got a major role in a movie here in the state of Minnesota that she rejected because of the content of what they wanted her to act out. She would have no part with it, or a part in playing that's to demoralize the young people. She said, how am. I going to go around to the high schools across the country and tell the kids, namely the young people, the girls, how to live moral lives, and yet. I'm up on screen playing the hypocrite.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
She said, I'm not going to do that, Matthew 23, verse three so let me show you another side of Stephanie. This is what we encounter at the Minnesota State Fair, just so you know, it's a whole lot of humor, but is it true? Oh, absolutely, it's true. Here's Stephanie for you.

Speaker 2 - Stephanie - Prerecorded Minnesota State Fair Compilation

Oh, hey! It's so nice to have a friendly face here. So, I'm looking for the coupon book, and I'm just wondering - I love these. They're like potato chips covered in chocolate, and I'm just there to purchase, but I think they turn around here and they're praying. I'm wondering if you can help me out here and tell me where the list is - potatoes covered in chocolate chips, or chocolate, might be. I really appreciate it.

It's - it seems fictitious, friends, but it's not. This is really what it's like.

Oh, this is lovely. I really like the message. Well, you keep up the good work.

Oh, what color are those? I don't want to say it's like a mature tomato-looking color, and the other one would be lighter - kind of like a Turkish blue, maybe. Oh, how much is that?

[Several short phrases in this humorous fair compilation are unintelligible in the source transcript.]

Oh my word. [Unclear phrase.] But, you know, keep up the good work. Sweet hat.

Hey, guys, [closing sentence of the prerecorded fair clip is heavily garbled in the source transcript].

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Okay folks, so there it is. That's truly what it's like at the Minnesota State Fair. Some people think, well Bradley, you're just being a little fictitious about it. I'm really not. This is really what it's like and you almost got to laugh about what you see and observe with the people. You know, the majority of what she just, should. I say, exhibited in humor is what we see from the professors more than anybody else. In the hypocrisy, honestly, it stinks to high heaven. It really truly does.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Some people will say, well, why are you here? Matter of fact, let me give you a little testimonial friends. People don't know that every year, all these groups that the mainstream media highlights as being, you know, bad or just corrupt or immoral. Every time at the Minnesota State Fair, every single year, I'll take the time to go over to those booths to see, to find out for myself what I'm dealing with and Black Lives Matter just happens to be one of those. Now, I do want to say this. I remember when probably about eight years ago, the Minnesota Star Tribune, they call it the Red Star. There are accomplices to the crimes of those that they are covering for when it comes to conspirators and [unclear phrase] in fact, Jeremiah 119. They're just, they're corrupt. They need to be lawfully dealt with. Every single one of them from the top to the bottom, no question about it.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Well, they were highlighting about eight years ago how Black Lives Matter was out in the streets and everybody was in uproar. Well, little did they know that we were there and I was paying attention to everything that was going on and it was not at all the way that the media tried to embellish Black Lives Matter and how bad they were. I know what they do is they use a bunch of radicals on the front and then they give them all the attention and then all the other ones, the little foot soldiers per se, they're being used as political battering rams, unbeknownst to them. And what am. I saying? Political battering rams. They're being used to upend who we are as a people by zeroing in on our Christian constitutional heritage.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Okay. And John Adams warned of that years ago. But what I found when I take the time to go over to these booths, folks, nine times out of 10, and more than not 10 times out of 10, these kids are not at all the way that the mainstream media tries to convey them to you or to cast into your minds that they are or how they act or what they're responsible for because we have Black Lives Matter next to us now and they are super cool kids. They don't have any idea what the mainstream media is using them for. And those are the kind of people who we want to come to the booth. You know, my wife had shared with me. And so did my son that people all day long were saying, Oh, who set that up? Why did they put Black Lives Matter right next to your booth? And I told my son, I said, Well, ask them the question so do you believe the media because they're probably 81% one of that don't believe the mainstream media that really believes the mainstream media. In other words, they hold the truth in unrighteousness. And what am. I talking about? Hey, folks, those are the people who we want next to us.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
We do not run from that We run to those people. The Lord said those that are in darkness saw the light there in darkness and they need to see the light and guess who's coming up to us saying, Well, what's this all about? Well, that was pre planned. Why would they put Black Lives Matter right next to your booth? Well, what's the problem? We don't see any problem with that We see that's the call of God that He's placed in all of our lives. And I want to say this as well. When you're looking at all these pictures of these young people and these old people alike at the Minnesota State Fair, you need to understand something. That's what we're all called to do. I don't know where people get in their minds and in their heads that is something that just you do know.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
We do the apostolic thing. We do the prophetic thing. We do the things of a teacher. We do the things of a pastor at times. We do the things that were called to do concerning the fivefold ministry. Read 1 Corinthians 12:28 and go back to Ephesians 4:11-12 and again, I'm just conveying to the people who are watching now at this church service. You're called to do the same thing. How is it that you've exempted yourself from this? How is it that you said to yourself, I'm not called to do that Really? The Bible says regardless of who we are, regardless of our function in the body of Christ, we're all supposed to do the work of an evangelist. We're all called to do this, friends. You know, when I look at it and I highlighted Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, it's interesting that when I go over to Mark 16:15, what does it say?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
It says, he that believe in and his baptized shall be saved. But he that believe it not shall be damned and these signs shall follow them that believe in my name, they shall cast out devils and they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents and they shall drink any deadly thing. It shall not hurt them. They shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. Right? Now, let me go back over to verse 15 really quick because this is what I want you to catch. After he appeared to them after the resurrection, okay, after his passion of the Christ on the cross of Calvary, it says that Jesus said, go into all the world and preach the gospel of Christ and preach the gospel to every creature. Okay. Now, again, remember, he says in Matthew 4:19, that's, uh, follow me applies to all of us and that application first comes with Jesus showing us the holes in his hands and the holes in his feet.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
And he says to us as the father has sent me, so I send you. And then when we look at Matthew 4, 19 friends, uh, it says, follow me, Jesus speaking, follow me and I'll cause you to become fishers of men. He didn't say, uh, to sit inside of a building and debate away the pith and marrow of the Word of God, and try to justify who's right and condemn who's wrong. That's not what he said. He said, we're supposed to, if we're saved, we're going to be led by the Spirit of God, Romans 8:14 to get out there and to seek and save that which is lost as well.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Again, that applies to all of us. And how many times at the booth, we hear people come up, better professors, oh, the Lord is hiding me. Oh, you know, the Lord, just, he has me taking a break right now. Well, listen, I've been in ministry for 31 years and I've yet to take that break. I'm doing this seven days a week and I'm looking for more strength to do more than what we're doing right now on top of everything that we're doing. You know what people say to me, Bradley, you know, how are things going? I say, well, I'm doing this on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. And then on Sunday, I do a church service in between. We do the Minnesota State Fair for 12 days. I'm driving three hours back and forth, picking them up, dropping off the teams every day for 14 days in a row and then on top of that, we're filling the schedule to do more. We're going to be in Princeton, Minnesota once we're doing this, done doing this.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
And then. I say to the people, you know, usually when people ask you the question, so how are things going? It's always got that little bit of a leg on it like, you know, oh, I'm just beating. I'm just trodling down. I just got no strength to do anything else. We're a bunch of babies in this country, people. The fact of the matter is when you look at a guy like John Wesley who rode horseback for over 500,000 miles, who preached five days. Folks, I'm sorry, five times a day. And you know what he fed upon? Water and berries from trees. Five times a day, he preached the gospel. He would go out into the fields and he would seek and save those that would listen to those that would have ears to hear and eyes to seek concerning the message that they were hungry for.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
We're a bunch of babies here, friends. We absolutely are. But I do want to say this, Jesus died publicly on the cross. He didn't die in private, friends; He died publicly. And for anybody that's ashamed of that gospel, I say to you shame on you because that was not at all the example that Jesus Christ gave to any of us. Far be it from us to fall into that lot. Let's get busy friends, and just try to bring this in a full circle here.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
I do want to let you know, folks, again, one more time, we're at the Minnesota State Fair. Come down, say hello, see what we're doing. And again, I think you're going to be pleased with what we are doing. And hopefully one of the things that we do over here is raising up disciples that you can join alongside of us concerning not what's just going on in Minnesota, but what's also going on across the United States of America, concerning what's going on in your backyard as well. I want to say it again, Jesus died publicly for a reason. And he wasn't ashamed to redeem us. He wasn't ashamed to die for us on the cross as a propitiation for our sins. Neither should we be ashamed to him in any sense of the word. The sinner should be ashamed for what they're doing, right? And so we have to preach that message of repentance and remission of sins and that's what we're going to continuously do. I want to say one more thing, and we're going to move on to the next point here.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
It was William Booth who said, we are not sent to minister to a congregation and be content. He said, if we just keep things going. No, we're not going to fall into that lot by the grace of God. Let me say it again. William Booth from the Salvation Army, that was a real apostolic ministry, by the way. He had 7,000 ministry centers all over the world during his lifetime. During the time of his life from the beginning to the end From birth to death, 7,000 ministry centers. It's not at all what you see today, just for the record, not at all. This was a real ministry that the Lord, used. Listen to the name, Salvation Army. They understood the militancy of what it was that they were called to do and they took the Lord on. And the Lord said He would show Himself strong on behalf of those that were willing to do great exploits and that's exactly what they did. And I also think of not only the book of Daniel, but also John 14 12 as well. Listen to what he said.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
We are not sent to minister to a congregation and be content. If we just keep things going, we are sent to make war and to stop short of nothing but the subjugation of the world to the sway of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now with me saying that, of course, people, a majority of the people don't read their own Bibles. And they'll say, first thing they'll say is, well, I never heard that before. Well, if you read the Bible and took the time to know the doctrines, you would know what the Bible says. Because Jesus said that I didn't come to bring peace. Here, listen to this folks, I want you to see it for yourself. Matthew 10:34, again, I'm just raising this up so you can see this for yourself. I'm highlighting it and going to the King James Bible. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth. I come not to send peace, but a sword.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
You know, some people say, well, you're being divisive. Truth divides. Hey, folks, truth divides. You're not going to get away from that You know, which kind of leads me into exactly what I want to say in part because what we're going to do today. Yesterday, I had spent probably three hours in going through what I was going to share with you today. What happens is, after the Sunday church service, Monday comes around and the first thing I start thinking and asking is, "Lord, what are we talking about Sunday?" And then, of course, with radio: "Lord, what are we talking about today? What are we talking about tomorrow?" I'm here on His command, not mine, right? I'm not here to conjure up information that I think people want to hear, because I'll tell you what they want to hear, friends: it's not what I'm sharing with them. What we're showing people is their responsibility, and we're showing them that the reason the country is going the direction it is is because of their sin, and their sin is finding them out.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Numbers 32:23. But let me go back to the point I wanted to make here, friends. I asked the Lord, "What is it that we're going to be talking about for church?" Well, all week I've been marinating in a message - over and over again. It's like, "It's fantastic. This is great." So I listened to it seven times, because we're all learning, right? Then I got to last night, after doing radio for two hours and spending about three hours going through the church-service material. I go through it, break it up. And I say, Lord, this isn't what we're supposed to talk about." See, that's being led by the Spirit of God. You always know when a preacher is led by the Spirit of God, because he always leaves his notes.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Let me stop right there. He always leaves his notes before we get into this. I am humored. Now, I've been doing church services per the request of the people for probably the last six, seven, eight months, okay, because they have no place to go. And what's amazing to me is. I see people all over the country out there being called up to get messages to people because, folks, it's just what they want to hear. And what I noticed about the people who they're calling up is they've never done it. They're talking out of school, but yet they're out there raising up communities. No, there's no testimony and it's the Lord, that said, I dare not speak to those things that Christ has not done through me, okay? But now go back to this. I hear people say, well, you know, Bradley, you know, when you're talking, you're just kind of all over the boards.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Yeah, because I'm being led by the Spirit of God. Do you have ears to hear? Do you have eyes to see Jeremiah 5:21? I don't know where you're at. You're talking about this. And then all of a sudden you go out in left field. How many times have. I said to my church family, and my radio family, when I'm talking about something, I stop and I go over down this bunny trail, we call them prophetic bunny trails. I tell them it's because somebody needs to hear that right now. Okay and I've also equated it to when you come to a restaurant, not everybody is ordering the same thing on the menu.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
But what do I hear? Oh, you know, I just you're all over the board. You're here. You're there. You're there. You're there. Then you're over here. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Guess what? Because there are about 7,000 people who are going to hear today's message. It's not just about you. And if it was about the people, your heart should be right in the fact that they're getting something that they came for rather than you complaining about it. And that's exactly that is exactly the spirit of the Pharisee. But I'll tell you what, friends, one of the things that I understand is when I first got saved and I'm talking about the process of breaking some 51 verse 17, the sacrifices of God, are a broken into a contrite heart. Oh, Lord, thou, not despise when a man or a woman of God is broken. Just like we had on live chat this morning, those people are coming to church to be fed.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
And when they're coming to church to be fed, the Lord will without fail meet them where they're at. That's why we go on those bunny trails. The importance of the prophetic word, the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, the discerning of spirits, the list goes on for the spirit of the Lord. The list goes on 1 Corinthians 12 is for the very purpose that we don't serve dumb idols. Those people who complain about it, they serve dumb idols. They don't realize that the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. They're stuck in their carnality. They're stuck in their self righteousness.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Well, I'm not. I'm going to follow the Holy Ghost. And if I stop and I go out and left field because someone needs to hear something, I'm going to let the Holy Ghost do that Why do. I say that? Because it tells us in 2 7 of Micah that the Spirit of the Lord will not be straitened and you are not going to control him. Nor are you going to stifle him. Nor are we going to arrange the service to appease you and only you. there are many more people. One more point. I need to make with that, please. Remember when Jesus, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John? You can even look in the Book of Acts. Isn't it interesting that when the apostles were out and about and when Jesus was out and about, the Bible says they were thronged? That means there were literally hundreds, if not thousands of people who were thronging. Jesus and the apostles.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
When they were faithful to preach the Word, many times they wanted to kill him. But with that, what I want you to take note of is the fact that when people went out and they seen who. Jesus was as the Son of God, and they followed Him because they were looking to receive something from him. That only he could give. It's not just one person that was thronging. Jesus. there were hundreds, if not thousands of people who were pulling on. Jesus to receive from him again only what he could give. That's the reason for the prophetic bunny trails. So if you can't hang with that, see ya. We're okay. We're totally okay without ya. Go back to what you came from. the fact is this church is about raising up disciples and it's about getting people filled up with the Holy Ghost because he promised to do so in Acts 5, 32.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
But he only does that with broken vessels and he only does that with those that are obedient of the heart that are born of the Spirit of God. I'm thinking of John 3, 3. I'm also thinking of Romans 6 and I'm talking about Acts 5, 32 as I just said so again, folks, we're going to let the Holy Ghost lead the service and we're going to continue on. I've got many things. I want to share with you across the boards. Father, we just thank you in Jesus' name for the blood of Christ over all of us. And I thank you, Lord, as you changed the message yesterday, the message. I thought we were going to be preaching on all week long. Lord, I thank you that the breaks have been put on and I thank you that you reached the people where they need to be reached.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
And I thank you for your prophetic bunny trails. I thank you that your word tells us that we're to find our faith, not in the wisdom of men's words, but in the power and in the demonstration of the Spirit of God. 1 Corinthians 2:5, 1 Corinthians 4:20 tells us what? It tells us the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. Also, 1 Thessalonians 1:5 tells us what does it tell us that they would know what sort of men are among them? How does the Word of God, come? The Holy Ghost comes in much affliction, but with joy in the Holy Ghost. Let's say that again, with much affliction, but with joy in the Holy Ghost. Do you know how many times people turn right there at the threshold? Because they can't stand the affliction. They don't like the warfare. It's foreign to them. That warfare is foreign to them. Let me tell you this, and you can go to 1 Timothy 1, 6. As a matter of fact, I'll go there right now.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Warfare, and again, I'm pulling this up because I want you to see it for yourself as to what it says. And when you're, again, a child of God, you understand that you are a good soldier of the cross of Jesus Christ. Here, I want to stop. Here's a prophetic bunny trail for you right now. This is for everybody. You need to understand. You don't understand right now what's coming upon the world. You don't understand what's coming on the earth right now. It's time that you forget about all of those things that are lesser value than the kingdom of God. He said to seek ye first the kingdom of God, and righteousness, and then all these things will be added unto you, not the other way around. You need to understand that there is a warfare. When you look at Ephesians 6:12, it talks about what? It talks about the armor, right? The helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the sword of the spirit, the shield of faith.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Our feet, shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Our loins gird about what's true. That's on the front and the Bible tells us that the gates of hell shall not prevail. Why? Because the church is on the offensive and not on the defensive. You better understand, folks, for your own sake, for your own family's sake. You better start taking what you have around you and putting it down and make this number one and I'm talking about the living God, for your own sake. Remember. I'm telling you this right now. There's things that are coming to this earth that people are not going to be prepared for because they have been sitting on the sidelines too long as spectators. When the church, nobody inside of the church is called to be a spectator. We're called to be disciples and that means we better endure as a good soldier endures in this warfare as we're being built up by the Spirit of God.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Look at this. What is it saying? 1 Timothy 1:18. It says right here. This charge. I commit under the son Timothy, according to the prophecies, which went on before on the that thou by them mightest war a good warfare. If I had more time, I could go over to 2 Corinthians 11 and 12. And I can show you that warfare because it's not at all what you think that warfare is. It's not like somebody's just talking about you. And then all of a sudden, you know, it's just going to go away. No, we're talking about life and death. We're talking about the enemy of your souls trying to impede your way and to inspire others to take the church out as a whole across this country. And for those that are not paying attention right now, that's exactly what's at the in the works right now concerning what's going on concerning this current administration concerning the law and how it applies and I want to say this, that is having church. That is, hey, folks, the sons of Issachar, they knew the times that means they understood the culture. Does that make them not men of God? Does that make them not?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Or should. I say, am. I a when it comes to actually preaching the Word of God? Is that not church because it's not inside of a building and somebody's debating over the Word of God? Absolutely not. Again, the church is on the move. The church has feet and we're always on the move. Case in point, have some books over here called Political Sermons. Did you know that the Black Robed Regiment during the time of the inception of this country, which was less than 3% of the population along with 13? Colonies and the Black Robed Regiment, the Gideon's of the day, judges six. Did you know friends, that they were always every week preaching twice a week to the people concerning the issues that were going on that applied to the church and applied to the colonies during that particular time? That is having church. Isn't it interesting how people think having church today doesn't apply to the real world.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
I mean, it's just like really? Let me ask you something. For those that have taken on that mindset and I know there's some of you out there that have, does it not apply to you that babies are being murdered in the womb all day long? Is that not the church's business to condemn that? Because if you're not condemning it, that is the definition of false peace. Is it not your church in the state of Minnesota that you had a bunch of men dressed as women out making prey of children yesterday at the Minnesota State Fair talking about the corruption from the top to the bottom? Oh, yeah. Is that not the church's business? Is that something we shouldn't talk about in the church? Oh, absolutely. That is the church's business because the church hasn't preached out against the sins of the nation, Hosea 6:5. That's why it's spilling over into society. And guess what?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Guess what? The church is called to be the moral compass of society. And if that goes, everything else goes. So when we see a society goes, as a society goes, guess what? That's the responsibility of the church. Absolutely. 100% is that having church? You better know that's having church. Some of you people have been so compartmentalized to believe something that's so unbiblical. Let me ask you this. Was. Jesus just in the synagogues all the time or was he out in the streets talking to the people? Was he out preaching to the people on the streets? When he went up to the mountain, was that inside of the synagogue? Was that inside of the church? No, not yet because he wasn't crucified, right? Yeah but just look at the pattern, then go over to the book of, listen to this, the Book of Acts. Their doers of the word, not here, is only deceiving themselves. Look at the Book of Acts. What are they doing?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Were they just hanging out in the synagogue? Or were they out in the streets where the people were getting saved, just like the famous field preachers of old? Isn't it interesting how we praise all those old men of God? We praise all of those old men of God, but when it comes to our time to respond to the same call, what do we do? Oh, that's just not what I'm called to do. That's just, no, no, we don't do that We don't go outside of the building.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Listen, we want to stay inside of the building. We want to fight over doctrines. Yeah, that's scriptural. Read James 2:14-26 when you get time. Hey, folks, I want to say this to a couple of people, For those that are fighting over doctrine, there's nothing wrong with iron sharpening iron, absolutely. But when that debate takes precedence over going out and doing what the Lord commanded us to do, by the way, that's where He is: out there with the people. But when that takes precedence for you to just sit inside of the building and argue over doctrine, that shows exactly what you're made out of. Exactly what you're made out of. Don't have time for it. I'm going to hold to the Word of God, and if it exposes false doctrine, praise God. I'm called to do that but that's not where I'm going to stay. We're to go outside of the building, outside of the barracks, and we're called to get busy.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Let's go over to this really quick. The blind guides. They say that it's not for us. I brought this up yesterday in church. I'm sorry, on radio. Yeah, I know. See how somebody asked the question to Spurgeon. They called him the Prince of Preachers back in the 1700s. There's tabernacle still in the UK right now, but they asked him the question, what's more important prayer or the reading of the Word? He said, what's more important breathing in or breathing out? And I just realized that I was praying and then. I left prayer to preach. Yeah, why? Because I'm prayed up. That's why and again, it comes down to the fact that people love to just sit there and get into this methodic system that goes nowhere when it comes to duty but I do want to say this. I thank the Lord for the giftings of the Holy Spirit.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
I thank the Lord for the blood of Jesus Christ that washes us from all of our sins. Anything that I might offend against God, I thank you for the blood that removes it. I thank you that we walk in the light as he is in the light. We have fellowship as one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sins. I thank you that you wash us with the water of the Word, the washing of the water by thy Word. I thank you for saying to find us by thy truth, thy Word is truth. I thank you that you establish the sure mercies of David, order to write and sure. Concerning every one of us. I thank you for keeping us hidden under the shadow of the Almighty and Holy Ghost again, I just thank you that you lead us out and I thank you that you open up the Word and that you meet people where they're at in Jesus' name and I thank you for setting fires. We're called to be ministers of the flames of fire.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Hebrews 1:7. And I thank You, Father God that you continuously raise us up for your glory and your purposes to go out there and to seek and save those that have been lost. For Your name's sake we pray. And I thank you again for the leading of the Holy Ghost and turning men from darkness to the light from the power of Satan to the power of God, granting the godly repentance in Jesus' name. Okay, so let me go over to some of the things that I was talking about yesterday and it comes up quite a bit because we see politicians leading the church when in fact the church should be leading up the politicians. Because that's how it originally started and that's how it's going right now regardless if we want to see it that way or not but you know, one of the things that I continuously think of is where it talks about you blind guides who strain at a gnat and swallow the camel.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
What I was talking about yesterday, and this is one of those things that I'm talking about when I'm saying we're going to talk about different topics because it needs to be thrown on everybody concerning what it is because it's very applicable and it's one of those where we hear people because I was talking about secular music and then throughout the week on the radio. I started talking about Christian music and then so what do I hear? I hear from people who are listening to secular music which means without God, and they call themselves Christians so they're feeding on the spirit of Antichrist and so I'm calling out the idolatry of professed Christians that are listening to secular music. What do they do?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
This isn't church. This isn't having church. Oh, oh, on the contrary. It's your idol. The question. I have for you is not the burden of proof is on you to justify what you're doing, not me. Because that's all. I'm merely doing is showing you your idolatry and your hypocrisy. What you love God, so much that you love to listen to secular music. And what do they say? Oh, you're judging Oh, okay. Okay. I mean, as if to suggest that's not what we're here to do. I mean, the Bible tells us in Deuteronomy 4-6 that our judgment is our wisdom in the nations according to God's law. He's the judge. We're just making reference to the judge's word. That's all we're doing is showing you the standard that you fall short of. That's why you need more grace to keep his commandments better if you're saved at all Ephesians 2-1 Then what I did over the week is. I was talking about Christian music, which is not Christian music and I was highlighting the singer from Newsboys and I was talking about how he, over the last 16 years, has been making prey of young boys.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
The singer from Newsboys. The one that the Billy Graham Association promotes. The ones friends, that go across the world and their label promotes them as a Christian band, the Christian band. Did you know that Michael Tait. I highlighted, the professed Christian, he's now being charged for making prey of children. Boy, that apple doesn't fall too far from the tree today, does it? And I also highlighted the fact that those Christian labels are under the ownership of secular labels. Okay, remember. I'm judging people when I'm telling them that are calling themselves Christians that are listening to secular music. I'm judging them. No, I'm showing you that you're going to answer four-year transgressions of God's law before you get to the judgment seat of Christ. That's called a faithful witness that delivers souls Hebrews 9:27 so I go over to the Christian side and then. I talk about Michael.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Did you also know that Michael's been using cocaine for 16 years? Being promoted as the biggest Christian band in the world by their Christian label 16 years. Are you going to tell me for 16 years nobody within that circle knew exactly what Michael was doing and that he was a sodomite? And then. I highlighted others like Lauren Daigle. Ray Boltz, the list came up. All of these professors that claim to be Christians weren't Christians at all. How could it be otherwise? And guess what? Bradley, that's not church Oh, yeah, it's church. Did. Jesus say in Matthew 23 verse 3, you say to others, but you do not. In other words, you don't practice what you preach. In other words, you blind guides, you strain at the net and you swallow a camel. You don't like those that are showing you the standard of who you're called to be as the light of the world because of your compromise because you're a fraternizer with the devil himself.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
So what do you do? You shoot the messenger. Oh, it's well, it's broken. Hey, folks, and it comes from people who you thought better of. That should know better, but they don't know the word. That's the problem. 99.9% of the time. I ever have a problem that has a problem where someone comes to me and has a problem with something. I'm saying because I'm holding into the Word of God 99.9 times. They don't even know the Word of God. That is a safe statistic. Okay. They say, who are you to judge?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Here, let me throw it this way. Let me throw it this way. The church in the church, and I'm talking with the members within the church, which are the people, the Israel of God. That's who we are. We're called to be fruit inspectors and I like this. Folks, I can put this on a loop. It's so important that people understand that we judge men by their fruit, not by what they say. Well, that includes them. The hypocrites within the body of Christ, as they call it.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Okay. Well, we're called to be fruit inspectors and we're just that without a scriptural doubt and as a matter of fact, we're to judge them by their fruit, as I said, Matthew 7:16-20 but did you know that Jesus teaches us how to judge and Matthew 7:1-6? Just want to make sure you all understand what the word says, right? Because I know that a good portion of the people out there, they don't read the word. They just take it for whoever says it and as long as they like them, everything's good. Like. I said yesterday on Saturday's radio show, they're always looking for an errand. That's why they church hop. Why? Because they don't like Moses and then they'll like somebody else for a little while until they say something that offends them or until they find something that they're looking for to be a friend and they're looking for to be offended at regardless of if it applies to that guy or not.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
God knows how they do it, but they do it and they don't realize that it's the Lord, trying to get to them and it's them that has to open their eyes to the truth of the matter rather than the person that's been used by the Lord, to pry them open for your good. So what are you doing? You're shooting your messengers. Well, Jesus said the same thing. They hated me without a cause. They said this is my commandment that you love one another, but at the world hates you. You know that it hated me before it hated you. See, I don't think people realize that when they stumble over the word, it's a rock of offense, a stumbling block. You know, it tells us in the book of Peter that they were appointed unto disobedience. Oh, by the way, that was foreordained as well but Jesus teaches us how to judge Matthew 7:1-6.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Matter of fact, He gave us that bit of information to avoid false prophets. We'll talk about that next week. When you look at Matthew 7:1-6, He's given us that information when He's telling us strait and narrow and difficult is the way. He is telling us right after that to be aware of false prophets. Because then He uses the example of those that say, did we not go out and heal in your name? Did we not go out and lay hands on the sick and they recovered? Did we not prophesy in your name? Yep, and the Lord says to them what? He says, depart from me, you workers of lawlessness, which just happens to be the first blessing that the Lord gives us. We don't remove the moral law. We establish it through faith Romans 3:31. Also read Acts 3:26 when you get a moment. Oh, by the way, next week, hopefully we're going to have our phone system all fixed up because we got some new things going on here.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
I'm going to open up the phone lines for some questions after church next Sunday so if anybody out there wants to go ahead and sling something on me that doesn't belong to me, at least he can let everybody know Or if I'm just absolutely in error, then you know what? Everybody sees how in error that I truly am and that'll be good for you. Okay? But again, Jesus teaches us how to judge Matthew 7:1-6. It's a fantastic chapter and if you really take the time to read it, the Lord is warning us to stay away from those that destroy the souls of men. How? Because they flatter with the tongue. They flatter with the tongue. Doesn't the Bible say open rebuke is better than secret love? Oh, yeah, it is. Those kind of people don't get rid of them. Those kind of people who love you enough don't get rid of them if they're willing to tell you things that you don't want to hear.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Don't get rid of them people because they only come around a couple of times in your life if you're that blessed and you need to protect those relationships as well. Okay? We're to walk in the spirit, not in the flesh. Did you know that Jesus teaches us and commands us to judge righteously in John 7:24? It doesn't mean. I go around and condemn people to hell, but you judge them by their fruit to know whether they're in heaven or in hell if they're not here with us anymore. Common sense comes into play, which by the way goes back to isn't it interesting because somebody brought it up on live chat yesterday and yes, this is having church. They said, Bradley, you know what? You're kind of judging people who are listening to secular music Then. I ask, are you a Christian? And they say, yeah and I say, are you listening to secular music?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
And they say, yeah, I say to them, you're not a Christian. Because that line has been drawn a thousand times over. Did you overlook that in scripture or what? The question isn't even that The question is, why do you want to feed on secular music? That's your problem. Why? Because holiness proves the faith 1 Peter 1:15. Did you hear what I said? Holiness proves your faith. Because if you're walking in holiness and you're following. Jesus who said, be holy as I'm holy, guess what? That proves what's inside of you. You don't listen to any secular music. You're not converted. Just like many of those professed Christians that they say they're converted away from the world and then before a year or two is up, they go back to the same vomit that they came from. Like a bunch of dogs. Like a Brian Head Welch, like Alice Cooper.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
The list goes on Chris Pratt, Denzel Washington. It goes into the actors as well. Folks, no, no, you just take them for face value because what they do, those hypocrites, those pretenders, that's what a hypocrite is a pretender, that Jesus rebuked over and over again. It's interesting. You follow them and you want to justify them because you want to justify yourself. It's not so much of you justifying them as much as it is you trying to justify yourself. What don't you understand? Come out from among them. Be separate, touch not the unclean thing. What part don't you get? I mean, it's pretty obvious, right? Yeah, it really is but Jesus, he commands us to judge righteously in John 7:24.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
The point that I was making friends, is, and it came up yesterday, was during the radio program, somebody had said something that felt in line perfectly as to what he was doing and they were talking about, you know, the blind guides, the hypocrites, the pretenders, they say, it's not for us to say who goes to hell. Really? Have you ever been to a funeral where that person was ever preached into hell people? Aren't they making a judgment call? Because no matter how they died, no matter how they lived their lives, no matter what sort of fruit was in their baskets, and no matter how corrupt it was, they were. How corrupt it was, somehow or another, they're all in heaven. Aren't all of those hypocrites making a judgment call? Absolutely they are. See, they just don't think it through. Well, that's my job Malachi 2.6.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Now, what am. I talking about? The blind guides say it's not for us to say who goes to hell, but for some reason or another, the blind guides can tell you who goes to heaven. Regardless, if it lines up with Christian fruit or not, John 15, 8. Go to the next one. Judging is the character and exhibition of a spiritual life. 1 Corinthians 2, 15 through 16. We're going to judge angels, people, Wow. How do we, hey folks, if we haven't repented, didn't we, when we came to the cross, where Jesus actually judged the prince of the world, that was the reason he came into the world, when he went to the cross, he was judged for our sin. When we're repenting for our sin falling upon the Son of God, because we violated God's moral law, Acts 20 verse 21 and we're born again to the Spirit of God.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Those that are born again to the Spirit of God, don't they bear fruits of repentance? Oh, yeah, they do. I just want to make clear. Yep and doesn't it tell us in 2 Corinthians 10:6, that when our, when we have repented of our sin, and our obedience is fulfilled, doesn't it tell, here? I better show you that one too. I'm being a little sarcastic to some people who think they know better than the Word of God, and they don't, and I just want to be as thorough as I possibly can to make sure that every self-righteous rug, and that's not the Word of God, and that's the reason why they're just wrong in their lives is pulled.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Okay, because the Lord says, take heed lest you fall. Again, you don't understand what a real friend is some of you. You really, truly don't but let's go over here. What does it say in 2 Corinthians 10:6? It says, and having readiness to revenge Oh my goodness but wait a second. I thought vengeance belongs to the Lord. It does but aren't we the church? Aren't we his hands and his feet on this earth that his will might be done on this earth as it is in heaven? Absolutely. Absolutely.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
What does it say? And having a readiness to revenge all disobedience, what happens when you're repentant? You take a readiness to revenge all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. That's what it says. So when we're repentant, we're going to bear forth the fruits of repentance. Godly repentance, not worldly repentance. Let's go to the next one. We are to judge matters between the brethren Go ahead Write it down 1 Corinthians 6:5. We are to judge the truth concerning what is being preached within the church 1 Corinthians 14:29. We're going to go to the prophets next week. For the very purpose, we need to go back to the prophets. Why? Because when we look at Jeremiah 23:22, what does it say? The Lord said, but if they had stood in my counsel, the Lord said and had caused my people. He's talking to his people.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Okay and caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned from their evil way. That's a faithful minister and from the evil of their doings, that's why we need to go back to the prophets. The false prophets you see today in America, friends, they're not prophets at all. They're not preaching out against the sins of the nation. We'll talk about that next week but again, I want you to pay attention to what's being highlighted here. We're talking about how the blind guides, the hypocrites within the body of Christ that have never repented. They say, who are you to judge what's right and wrong, which only shows you that they have never repented of their sin because repentance is what? It's premised on the fact that I have sinned before God. I'm repenting for my sin before a just and holy God that I have offended.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
You can also look at that in Luke 15, where you see the prodigal son when he realized, the Bible says he came to himself and it says that he sinned before God, before heaven, and his dad. Okay. See what that law does? Praise God for that law. Romans 3:20. The law condemns us and it drives us to Christ As Augustine said, he said, the law detects; grace alone conquers absolutely and that's a work of the Holy Ghost. I just did a little bit of a meme the other day, actually yesterday, and I'm trying to get some memes out there for the people but bottom line is my job to see sinners saved by faith alone because of the finished work of Christ alone.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
But what brings us to Christ is the great question that many of you need to answer, especially those that feed on the modern gospel. Going to the next one, tells us in 2 Corinthians 11:4, it says, we are to judge doctrine and teachings. We are to judge by reproving the deeds and the workers of darkness. Isn't that interesting? I better show that one as well. I'm going to go over to Ephesians 5:11 and I want you to see it and folks, I'm not mocking in any sense of the word. Those that know the truth of the matter, I'm trying to get people off of their own self righteousness. I'm trying to educate the biblically illiterate because many of them are.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Okay. When I go to Ephesians 5:11, again, what does the Bible say? Because if the scriptures are the final authority, then let's submit to what scripture says, not to your favorite debater. Okay. What does it say? Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. What does it tell us that we're supposed to do people? We're to reprove them? Why do we reprove them? Because we're making judgment calls and we're doing it out of love for them. I mean, if I see a house that's on fire and I understand there's people inside of that house of sin and that house is going to burn down on them and they're going to go where sinners go when they die, is it love for me to walk by their houses? Is it love for me to break into their house and tell them their house is on fire and to get out.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
We're to hate the works of the flesh? Friends. I want you to see this. Again, I'm just going to take you through the word because this is what I want you to see and I say this in all sincerity to those that are open to hear the truth of the matter but for some reason, it's not opening up. Spotted. So what does this say right here guys in Jude 23, it's pulling up right now. It's just taking its time. And what does it say in other save with fear, pulling them out of the fire. Hating even the garments spotted by the flesh so if you love somebody, guess what? You're not to hate them. You're to love them and you're to reprove them for their sin.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Let me go over here Thank you, Lord, Second Chronicles 1910. And what does it say? I'm going to show this to you again because I want you to see it. It says, and whatsoever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities between blood and blood between law and commandment, statute and judgment, he is teaching you to make, he's giving clarity as to how you're supposed to make distinction and he said statutes and judgments and you shall even warn them that they trespass not against you. Is that what it says? No, doesn't say that You shall even warn them that they trespass not against the Lord, and so wrath come upon you and your brethren Oh my goodness. Did he just say that? Yep, he did. Bradley, that's the Old Testament. I know.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Again, let me go over to the New Testament, which is a fulfilling of the Old To flee, the word flee means terror-stricken and again, let's go to the New Testament, namely in Corinthians so you can see for yourself as to what it says. Okay. It talks about it in Matthew 3:7, John the Baptist used the phrase who warned you to flee from the wrath to come. Remember he was speaking to the self religious, the self righteous, right? That had Christ crucified. Remember John the Baptist used the phrase who warned you to flee from the wrath to come. In other words, what he was saying is. I'm telling you that what nobody else ever told you. That's what he's saying here. I'm trying to tell you what nobody's told you up to this point. I'm going to go over to 2 Corinthians where I was originally going and I want you to see this because people again, for the most part, don't know that this is in the word and I'm again pulling this up because I want you to see it and it says that we knowing the terror of the Lord, we persuade men.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
What is that? Listen again and I want you to see this folks. I'm doing this even if you have your Bibles, Mark them. I hopefully you have a pen and a piece of paper Mark them Write this down. Knowing this is the New Testament. 2 Corinthians 5:11, knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men. Which direction are we supposed to persuade men? Are we making judgment calls according to the Word of God? Yep. We make judgment calls all day long. Okay. Let's move to the next one. We're talking about blind guides Who are you to judge? When the Bible teaches us righteous judgments.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Okay Righteous judgment. Matthew 7 15 through 16 talks about how we're to judge false prophets and teachers. 1 John 2 18 through 20 says we're to judge false professors. Yep. Oh, America, Jesus showed us that in Matthew 25, we separated the goats from the sheep Or when he said few be there that find it. Yep. Remember that word few? Yep. That's there that will find it. Going to the next one. I brought this up earlier. Christians will judge the world 1 Corinthians 6:2. And what is this?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Well, these are just a few examples in the New Testament as to how we're to righteously judge. Let me show you this in Deuteronomy 4:5-6, the Old Testament scripture, which we see the fulfilling in the new. I've made several references lined upon line, precept upon precept concerning the point that's being made here. It says, behold, I have taught you statutes, how you're supposed to deal with those that violate God's commandments and judgments. Okay. Even as the Lord, my God, commanded me that you should do so in the land whether you go possess it. Can. I ask some of you people out there? Where has the Lord, ever told us to remove the moral law of God, when we possess the land? I'm just asking because people take it for granted that we don't have to do anything anymore.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Well, then why do we have Moses and the Ten Commandments and all of our civil buildings today? Why do our state preambles start out acknowledging the God, of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? This is why we're going to get a phone line put in next week. It's vitally important that we get a phone line put in so we can answer a couple questions at the end of the service. Did you know that we're supposed to keep the same commandments when we possess the land as before when we were dispossessing the enemy?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Did you know that? Yeah. Oh, so once we get the possession, we're supposed to keep the same commandments. It's almost like, well, we were to get the possession and then once we get the possession in the natural, 1 Corinthians 2:14, we get the possession and now that we got the possession, we act like the warfare is over. No, it just begins. Now it's within us and that's what the Old Testament is teaching us within the New Testament concerning our temple. That's why we're supposed to take every thought captive, make it obedient under the word of Christ. We're supposed to cast down every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. See that warfare is now within us, but it doesn't apply just within friends, but you got to remember this, whatever is going on in here, we're going to see it on the outside and we're not going to get away from that Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Okay so let me go back to this. It says, keep there for and do them for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, what shall hear all the statutes and say, surely this great nation is a wise and an understanding people. I know that you guys, especially my radio family, and now my church family, you all understand that we're called the light of the world. Well, if you look at Isaiah 51 verse 4, it's because we didn't tolerate sin. If you go back to the very beginning days of our country, you go to Williamsburg, how did they rule the roost per se friends? How did they dictate how they ran those communities? It was biblical law. God's moral law, His Ten Commandments.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Okay. That's never been done away with what were the people in their minds getting away from the fact that we don't rule liberty still falls in the category of obeying the law, is if you don't obey the law, what happens? Natural law, civil law. Okay. Now, I'm giving you this point because this is what I want you to get because of late, a famous preacher passed on into eternity and I noticed that there was quite a bit of post talking of him now being in heaven and I'm not making the claim that he's not there, but how did they know that? And after all, these were the same ones that continuously declare that we're not to judge as to who goes to hell and yet scripture is very clear and I quote, I said, therefore unto you that you shall die in your sins for if you believe not that I am, he you shall die in your sins.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Is that what scripture says? That's what it says. Is. Jesus given a exposition to give understanding to people who were to make judgment calls? Absolutely 100%. Listen, when I ask the unrepentant sinners where sinners go, unrepentant, they say to hell, we're talking about heathens that know how to answer the question but if you ask a professed Christian eight times out of 10, where do sinners go? It's almost like they're above the point of making the scriptural point that they go to where they go where sinners go.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Well, Jesus just told us where they go in John 8:24. I mean, it's not difficult scripturally to judge between the holy and the profane, but yet the heathen knows more how to answer that question than people do inside of the building Shameful. It really is. Let me finish this point with a question. Are we not to emulate Christ? Yep, we are. John 14, six, he said, I am the way, the truth and the life. Nobody comes to the. Father, but by me. Okay, you can also take that to Hebrews 13, seven, we're supposed to follow those that have gone before us in the faith.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
But let me go to Matthew 25:32 and it says, and before him shall be gathered all the nations, the captain of our salvation, Jesus Christ says, and he shall separate them from one another as a shepherd, divide his sheep from the goats. Now, as I pondered this, I began to think within myself that the very people, again, biblical illiterates that are telling us that we're not to judge anyone by declaring that they were unrepentant, profane, or secular rather than sacred. I was talking about music earlier. They're not purified. They're not sanctified. They're not holy, but somehow or another by declaring to sinners that they end up in hell and they are now making themselves the judges by telling us who is holy and who's going to heaven As I said earlier, they can tell us everybody, no matter who they are, like this Dolly Parton nonsense going on, right?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Because she said she was a Christian, but she advocates so much of what God, condemns, that shows you that the Lord, doesn't have her heart and she doesn't belong to him but everybody's talking about how she's in heaven now. Elvis is in heaven right now. Ozzy Osbourne's in heaven right now. John Lennon is in heaven right now. You know that guy that called. Jesus Christ a greasy B-A-S-T-A-R-D? Yeah. How'd that work for him? I guess Adolf Hitler, according to these biblical illiterates, he's in heaven too. I speak as a man. I speak according to their foolishness. I guess Mao Zedongson heaven too. The guy that killed 40 million of his own people through a man may drought. You know the CIA and the FBI said that George Bush senior was the evilest man alive. They called him evil poppy. When he died, what did everybody usher him into?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Oh, he's in heaven. He had a Christian funeral. Nothing could be further from the truth. Joseph Stalin's in heaven too, folks. According to the modern-day pew sitter in the American version of Christianity, where are they? They're all in heaven according to them Shameful. No wonder why nobody's ever repented of their sin. Look at the culture My goodness. Is this not having church? Oh, yeah, this is heaven church Hey, folks. Matter of fact, the Lord said in Psalm 9 16 and 17, it says that the Lord, the people who forget the Lord, that nation will be turned into hell. Look at the hell. Those that I'm speaking to that have helped create the hell on earth that we see today. These are the ones that are telling you everybody's in heaven. These are the ones that are responsible for the hell that America is becoming today. It's true. It's judicial judge here Yet. I'm referring to the judge's word again.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Here let me say to those people and then we'll move on to the next point. Twist not scripture the way that Satan twists scripture. No doubt because these blind guides strain at the net and swallow the big, big camel. They got to be filled up with that big camel. Oh, and they are absolutely are. Hey folks, the bottom line is there's different voices. I want you to make clear as to what I'm saying here. The course of this world is away from God. Therefore, as a preacher, as Christians, I must go against the current of this world if I am a child of God, and I got a preach according to his world. What is it that you see as a majority in America today concerning the professed Christians? Where that?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Again, look at their report card, the culture. Why? Because there's two different voices. You know, it's been said that again, the course of this world is away from God, and I'm taking responsibility by writing the wrongs. Therefore, I must go against the current of this world. If I am a child of God, and yet the problem that I see with this is that a majority of those who would expect to be the worldlings are in fact the professed Christians in America today. They're drawing the line. Nothing new here. Many of these people who belong to Christ say they somehow or another, their conversion is not that of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Read Philippians 1, 27. They know nothing of conquering Romans 8, 37. Listen to their mouths: nothing of overcoming. What is it that overcomes the world? Even our faith. 1 Corinthians 5, 4, or, I'm sorry, 1 John 5:4.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
They know nothing of the good fight of faith, but they know how to hold a grudge. Let me tell you 1 Timothy 6:12. Hey, folks, this is all foreign to those that can't hear because they're foreign to the Word of God. In a nutshell, they're worldlings and there's no doubt that there's two different languages. What am. I talking about? Listen carefully. This is important information. You know, bad company crops, good character. Those that are around you in your circle. What do they add to take away from your life? Are they keeping, do they fear the Lord? We're all supposed to submit ourselves in the fear of the Lord, together. Another question. Are they walking in righteousness and holiness and goodness, the fruits of the Spirit Ephesians. 5, 9? Because if they're not, why are they around you?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Here, we're talking about two different voices. 1 John 4:5 says, they are of the world. Therefore speak they of the world and the world, heareth them. The world hears them. The Bible says, "We are of God. He that knoweth God, heareth us and he that is not of God, heareth not us. Hereby know we the Spirit of truth and the Spirit of error." Hey, folks, if you're in a battle, it's important to know who you have with you in that battle, isn't it? And usually you have to prove them. You have to make sure that they're tested. They're tried and they're proven. Oh, guess what? The Bible tells us just that Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Something I said on the radio the other day was that those that bring the fire must endure the flame. What's interesting is everybody wants to enjoy the light of John the Baptist talking scriptural here but I'll tell you what, when he was reproving the king, I guarantee you that every one of them ran away from him because it was only John that was brought to prison As he was calling out the wicked deeds and the evil deeds of king Herod himself, Luke 3:19, they love to rejoice in the light until it costs them something until they're offended by the scripture until they actually have to bow the knee and correct themselves. Isn't that what scripture tells all of us? I mean, yes, it is and I love the scripture and I never ever hear reference to it and I'm not saying that in the sense of over embellishing my point, I have yet to hear a preacher talk about how all Scripture is given unto us by God for what?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
For doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. Once the last time you heard that, isn't it interesting that when you hear from people today, especially when it comes from Christians, they're always talking about somebody else. They're always generalizing the point that they're trying to make. They never say it to the person. Oh, these are also the same people who when they have a problem with you, they don't do what scripture tells you by going to your brother. No, that's not what they do. They go around and then they try to create schism within the body of Christ. That's what they do and that should tell you right there what you're dealing with.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Now, some will say, well, Bradley, you're just a realist. Well, I would reply that your reason is an enemy to real faith and that scripture proclaims that we are to walk by faith and not by sight 2 Corinthians 5:7 so many walking unbelief and they walk through their carnal sight. You know what Martin Luther said of these people, that reformer, that apostolic prophet of God, who stood against the world, who understood what most will never come to the realization or revelation by the Spirit of God to understand like he did. He said that reason is the devil's whore. Listen to that. Listen to that. He said reason is the devil's whore. It is. Why? Because reason can become an enemy to faith. God gave us reason. There's no question about it but if you can hear what he's saying here, he's trying to teach us something in the spirit, right?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Do you remember when Peter went out into the water? He bid. Jesus, let me walk on the water. He wanted to do what Jesus was doing and the only way he could do that is by faith so he bid. Jesus here. Jesus will you let me come out there and do the same thing you are? And he did. And what happened? All of a sudden he was walking on the water just like. Jesus was and then he made the mistake of getting his eyes off of Jesus, the author and finisher of his faith and then what did he do? He looked at the boisterous waves and then he began to sink. That's what he was saying. He was saying that reason is the devil's whore to God's faith. That's all he was saying. That's pretty easy to understand, isn't it? Absolutely it is 100%. Folks, when I'm talking about two different voices here, we need to understand that there's really two different voices here and I can see since the beginning of the service we had about 20 people more so on the show and the first thing that they'll say is, but you're driving the line and you're judging and you're condemning.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
No, I'm not. What I'm doing is. I'm highlighting the fact that men love darkness rather than the light and if they're believers, they're not condemned because Jesus didn't come into the world to condemn the world. He came into the world to what? Save the world but the condemnation falls to those that don't believe they don't hear. They have to wake up as to what's going on in this country and I'll tell you what, too many people, they want a soft gospel and that gospel does not exist, friends.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
I want to make clear that you understand what was it? Spurgeon, again, that comes to my aid that said, it is treason against the king of heaven to tone down the Word of God. You know, I was just talking about Martin Luther a moment ago. Did you know that when back in the 1600s when men would debate? I think. I shared this with my church family, but did you know that when men would debate? Did you know what they used to do? They used to sit at a table As a matter of fact, I've got two debate chairs here. They're called Patrick Henry chairs. You'll find them in Williamsburg, Virginia.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
But what will happen is they'll sit like, for example, you'll have Martin Luther debating Erasmus, for example. And what will happen is both men are literally at the top of their voices. They're screaming at each other. Did you hear what I said? It's pretty crazy, isn't it? They would literally yell at each other and that was a proper debate concerning when it came to Scripture. Why were they actually yelling in such a way? Because they were vehement about holding to the word of truth. That's why. I got a quote in front of me right now where it says, never soften the gospel if the truth offends. He said, let it offend. Absolutely let it offend. Absolutely let it offend. So, folks, I'm just kind of going across a couple topics here, important topics that I want people to take hold of.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
One of the other things that I wanted to get to before we get to the cyclical, it's called the cyclical cycle or lesson. That means when you don't learn from history, history repeats itself and as I said, friends, I had a message set up for today. All week. I've been feeding on it and then last night it's like, "This isn't what I'm supposed to talk about and I believe what we're covering right now is what needs to be talked about so let me go to this one. Because it's applicable.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Did you know that the American dream, the way it has been sold to us in many ways, did you know that it stands in contrast to the Word of God? This is really going to get some of you modern gospel mushroom converts that need to be converted again. No joke. Why? The American dream in many ways stands in contrast to the Word of God. When you look at Mark 8:36, what did. Jesus say? Again Or what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and yet lose his own soul? And we said again, what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Ask the question. I mean, Paul's the guy that said it's certain that you came into the world with nothing and it's certain that you're going to leave with nothing but again, we've all been raised up in this country to chase our dreams.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
I believe that these are prophetic expositions. We've been all raised up in this country to chase our dreams, not to the God that gave us what we think that we're dreaming of obtaining. Matter of fact, when you look at scripture, the Lord warned us not to do that I'll get to that in a moment. See, we've all been raised up in this country to chase our dreams, to be successful that we might live, as they say, high on the hog. I want to say this with a scriptural reference. There's a way that seems right under one man, but the end is what? Death. See, but again, if we reach what we call success here, then we have an essence created a world with no need of the living God. Isn't that right? That's exactly right. For those that might not yet fully understand, it would be little to do with the Lord, as a whole lot to do with the world.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
I want to say this, lose the world, save your soul. Well, what's the value of this state? Set a gentleman to another as they passed a fine mansion surrounded by fair and fertile fields. I don't know what it would be valued at, but I know what it definitely cost the late possessor. How much the other guy asked the guy responded with his soul? This is what we've been taught the American dream. Do you know that Jesus said in Matthew 6:24, no man can serve two masters for either he will hate the one and love the other or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. He said, you cannot serve God and mammon. What is man? What is wealth? the god of riches. How do we lose what we never really have? On the other side, that's a carnal message again to the natural man, 1 Corinthians 2,.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
14, but in the spiritual, how do you lose what you didn't give? Are you with me? Yeah. How do we lose what we didn't give if we received from the Lord, we can never lose that but if we try to obtain that, which we cannot take with us, we have a whole lot to lose and what's in the middle, your soul, your soul. Again, in America, that's what we're taught to do in seeking a better way of life and that life consists of what we possess. You know, it's not so much of what you think you possess as how much you are possessed. Really, truly, because if we're possessed with that, which wants to take a hold of, that which we cannot bring with us, that's the possession of which I'm talking about and it's not a good place. You're overtaken but the Bible says those that are clean escaped.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Again, don't get me wrong here. There's nothing wrong with wealth within itself but if it becomes your God, we have a real problem Just ask Abraham Just ask King Solomon Ask David. It becomes an issue when we put riches before the Lord. How many wealthy people do you know that serve the Lord? I mean, I could say that in general from the bottom up. I mean, really, I could but let's just say for an instance. Okay. How many wealthy people do you know that serve the Lord? And again, there's nothing wrong with wealth itself Yet it becomes an issue when we put riches before the Lord.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Remember when the Lord, adds something to your life, it's always secondary to him. Again, read Genesis 22. When the Lord gives you something, it's always secondary to him and he gives us several examples of that Okay. Paul said, we brought nothing into the world and it certainly can carry nothing out of the world 1 Timothy 6:7 and it's also interesting to note when you come to think about it, that nobody warned of covetousness more than. Jesus Christ himself. Now, covetousness, Webster's 1828 defines out as a word, a strong or inordinate desire of obtaining and possessing some supposed good, usually in a bad sense and applied to an inordinate desire of wealth or avarice. Have you ever noticed people when they're going through trials and tribulations, you can be around them. They're actually pretty cool to be around, right? Yeah, because they're learning spiritual lessons.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
But when those trials that crosses removed from them, all of a sudden you get to see who they really are. I want to give you a case in point. I was just bringing this up yesterday and somebody needs to hear this because it's very applicable and I believe that you're going to hear this but it was interesting that I knew this guy that was fired from a church. It was his fifth church that he was fired from. This is my initiation into the doors of the building called the church. In many ways that church was a church and so with that, I seen this guy get fired the fifth time from the fifth church. And what was crazy about it is when he got fired from that church for about a year and a half. He was broken into a thousand pieces. He had ashes upon his head, metaphorically speaking. He was repentant.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
He was asking people what he was wrong. Do you see any errors with me that you can correct according to the Word of God? He was actually a pretty cool guy to be around when he was broken but all of a sudden, a year and a half later, he gets hired by the sixth church. I get a phone call from him. He calls me up completely, a totally different guy. He was the same guy that I knew of right when I entered into the church. That was the problem in the first place. And what he did is he pretended all the way through to be repentant for the things that he did to the last pastor.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Now he's positioning himself to do it again to another pastor and guess what? He did it. Not only that, but then he got fired from that church Then he went out to western Minnesota and he got fired from that church as well and that was about 12 years ago. I can assume he's probably been fired from other churches. Why? Because he doesn't avail yourself of the lessons that the Lord teaches him. In thy affliction thou hast taught me thy statutes. God chastises those that he loves. He didn't have to repent because he knew sooner or later and by the way, his mother in this particular situation always blamed the preacher so that kid was carrying his mother's offense towards the preachers of the day. It was always everybody else's fault except his own. I mean, that guy has gotten fired from seven churches that I know of and just one day after a year of pretending to be broken, it was the old man that came back again.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
The Bible says that the old man is crucified with Christ. Old things are passed away. He never repented because he never saw his sin before God. Okay and it's important again to just share those story events. I want to give you a quote from a guy named Watchman Nee. He was a Chinese man and he was a Christian and he wrote some great stuff by the way, but he said, God never tries to improve our old life. He intends to crucify it and give us a new one in Christ." So if you're trying to hang on to the old man, get rid of it Put it down. You're going to war with it until the day you die but don't give yourself over to it.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
The point that I'm making is avail yourself of the lessons. Avail yourself of the lessons because I'll tell you what, when people aren't going through hard times and they're prospering and everything's going, okay, you get to see the real people and a lot of times it's, it's nothing that you want to observe As a matter of fact, some of those people, they have an air about them and you don't even want to be around them. I'd rather be around them when they're broken. And when they're broken and they're being afflicted, remember that is the sanctifying affliction that the Lord, by His grace gives to His children. Avail yourself of the lessons because if you don't avail yourself of the lessons, you're going to go right around again to that cyclical lesson. We'll get to that in a moment. Listen to this.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
This is. Jesus and He's sent unto them Take heed. That means pay careful attention Not everybody around you Take heed. Pay careful attention to yourself and be aware of covetousness for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth and he speak the parable unto them saying, the ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentiful. Tell me this doesn't sound like the American dream. This is. Jesus. The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully and he thought within himself saying, what shall. I do? Because I have no room where to bestow all of my fruits. I'm wealthy and he said, this will. I do. I will pull down my barns and build greater in there. Will. I bestow all my fruits and all my goods?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
But God said unto him, thou fool this night thy soul shall be required of thee. Then who shall those things be that you now possess when you're gone? Who's going to have those as a possession? And then he says, so is he that layeth up treasure for himself and not rich toward God. One of the things that you're going to notice of this ministry, and again, talking in school, one of the things that we've always done since day one is we've always moved by faith. I want to say it again, we always moved by faith. Do you guys all know who Billy Sunday is? He was a famous preacher back in the turn of the century, the 20th century and he was famous because he was a famous baseball player.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Okay. I've seen some of the stuff that he says, but I really question, you know, the veracity and the verity of the truth that he spoke concerning the Word of God, because somebody gave him at the turn of the 20th century, a million dollars in it ruined his ministry. Why do you think that is? Because he was a little man. I'll tell you what, I want to say this too. When you forget where you came from, I hear it all the time. People talking about their again, we're just on these bunny trails. People talk about their testimony and how hard they had it and where they came from. If it's true what they say, you're going to see them treat others just like that You're going to see those people cross the line over to those people concerning those that he could relate to. In other words, those that were in the same hole that he was in or that person was in, they'll come back and they'll help others get out of that hole.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Psalm 51. I'm sorry, Isaiah 51, read it. The Lord says, "Hearken unto Me. Hearken unto Me." Read it in context, though. You know when people really have testimony as to what they do now. Again, Spurgeon comes to my aid. He said those that have been saved. He said, if they have no desire for others to be saved, you can rest assured they're not saved. If you're really saved, you're going to go out and you're going to be following the Christ. No one's going to have to sit there and try to prop you up. I'll tell you what, you look at all these counselors in these buildings today called churches of America. It's their whole job to get cards written out so they can try to pull people back into their church service so they can have more congregants to basically suck them dry from and I'm talking about their finances so they can pay for their new buildings.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Going full circle, that has never been this ministry and never will be this ministry. It's always been a ministry of doing what we're called to do. Let me give you a case in point to that and somebody needs to hear this but in this ministry, I just want you to know, when we first started ministry, I remember there was a guy in this assemblies of Godchurch. And what he was doing, he was coming from a place called North Central in the state of Minnesota so he's one of those guys, right? He was looking for the approval of man. He received his message from men, not Christ, Galatians 1 and he preached a false gospel, Galatians 1, 8.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
But what he did is he played up to the ministry because we were doing high school assemblies and one of the things he wanted to do is raise money from churches all over the Midwest so he could raise up leaders in public schools and it was amazing to see all the pastors that gave way for him to raise money so he could buy his brand new vehicle Which there's nothing wrong with. But the problem was when I asked him how many schools he had been in concerning all the money that he was raising from the churches in the Midwest, he said, I haven't been in one school yet. I mean, it's insane. There's more to that, but I'm not going to go down that road right now. It is insane what people support. It's insane what people support but again, going back, we did 366 high schools across the country, just did one in South Dakota.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Hopefully. I'd like to do 40 more of them before I get old. In the process, we never ever had high schools pay us the full amount of what it would cost us to get 30 people to those schools. We did Key West High School, took a bus, 30 people all went down there. We got to check for 500 bucks. Didn't even pay for gas to get us into past Tennessee. We've been doing that since day one and it's, you know, to me, it's very offensive that at the end of the service when I say, you know, God loves a cheerful giver. We're not going to run down that road, but you know what? You did ask for us to be here and yet we see a couple people, uh, shouldering the burden here. That's not right but I'll tell you what, that has been our lot in life since day one and yet on top of the ministry like that, and this ministry, uh, receives less than one half percent of one percent of all finances.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Hey, folks, I know exactly what it's like to fight for everything we've got and I'll tell you what we're fighting for is the kingdom of God, and empowering us by the Holy Spirit to get out there and to get more. That's always been the objective. How offensive it is when people throw their coins at us. Well, if that's all they have, that's great. I'm not saying that, but I'm saying that people have the means to support. I want to say something to you people and apparently this is what we're leading into.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Some of you people who have the means to support, you better understand something. We're going into some serious times. This is the second time this has come up during the service. We're going into some serious times and unless people start putting their skin in the game, we're in a lot of trouble. Folks, I'm in Minnesota. The Minnesota Supreme Court just denied Mike Lindell, which I'm for justice. Don't know Mike all that well, but I am for justice. Mike Lindell just said he's going to pay a million dollars of his own money to do a recount concerning the voter fraud taking place in the state of Minnesota. The Supreme Court just came back yesterday and they said that the Supreme Court denied or rejected Mike Lindell's plea to recount the votes.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
So what do I hear? I hear, well, we see the Supreme Court's in on it and they're doing their best to cover those that are guilty for the voter fraud and again, if what you have been doing and I'm talking to the people who have the means to help people like this ministry, I want you to understand something. If what you've been doing for the last 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 years has been working, I want to tell you it's that mentality that's brought us to where we are right now. That's why. I'm humored when people say Bradley, you're radical. No, I'm not advocating the murder of babies. I'm not advocating full-grown men making a prey of our children. I'm not advocating for crime in the government because I'm not advocating for crime in the church. You better understand. You better start putting some skin in the game, regardless of who you support. Because we're going into some serious times and you better start speaking a different language to the enemy because they're feeling your mush and because they're feeling your mush, they continuously assail you.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Let them feel your steel, the Holy Ghost steel. Let them feel the sword of the spirit, which is the Word of God, because without it, friends, we're in a lot of trouble. Okay so let's go back to the covetousness. The Bible tells us in first, or 1 Timothy 6:10, listen again, listen again and I want you to listen this because I hear people say it all the time. the love of money is the root of all evil. That's what the Scripture says. They say, money is the root of all evil. No, it is not. Money is not the root of all evil As a matter of fact, the Bible tells us money answereth all things. The book of Ecclesiastes, the preacher. Yep. 1 Timothy 6:10 says, let's keep it in context for the love of money is the root of all evil, the love of money, which some have coveted after and they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Thomas Brooks was right when he said adversity has slain her thousands, but prosperity her tens of thousands. Yep. I want you to see this because it's interesting how people will make an idol out of their money as well. What does it say in Deuteronomy 6:12 again? Here's the word giving you the pure Word of the Bible. Be careful that you don't forget the Lord. Be careful that you don't forget the Lord, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt. What is he talking about? Well what proceeds that go to 8 11, it says, houses full of all good things, which thou filledest not and wells digged, which thou diggest, not King James Version, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not when thou shalt have eaten and be full, then he says, beware lest you forget the Lord, thy God.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
What does he say about wealth? He says, don't say within yourself that you have the power as under yourself to gain wealth. The Lord says, I gave you that wealth and he said, don't forget who gave you that wealth because if you do in the process, this is what's going to happen to you. What happens? John Adams, again, second president of the United States of America says, decadence follows luxury. Let me say it again, decadence follows luxury. Okay, that's where we are today. Now let me get over to the cyclical lesson that has yet to be learned because again, this is where America's at. I felt that before the service, if you're just joining us, I see numbers come up. I see numbers go down.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
The point is what I was going to preach on for today got switched last night and I get up this morning about an hour early than. I usually get up because I wanted to make sure we were prepared and I Lord, what are we talking about? Lord, what are we doing? And I'm seeing here friends, an exposition on certain topics because this is where we are. Here's the third time friends. We have some things coming on this country right now that we haven't seen happen before. Just again, timestamp them 1106.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
This is the third time Sunday, August 30th. There are things coming on the earth that we have not partaken with before. Okay. There's not been a better time to prepare ourselves for what is up-and-coming. If we don't, we're going to fail the lessons when it comes to the cyclical lesson. Okay. Now let's go to Judges 2:11 and see what it has to say. It says, and the children of Israel, that's us, the Israel of God, the people of God, the church of Christ. Okay. The children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim False gods. And what does the Bible say? They forsook the Lord God, of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt and followed other gods of the people who were round about them and bowed themselves unto them and provoked the Lord, to anger, Judges 2:11.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Now. I can go down a whole list of all of those things concerning these false gods. You know, what's really sad to see is when you see the second commandment, let's go to the first one. It says, they'll shall have no other gods before me Who are we to follow other gods, the doctrines of men, denominations of men, interpretation of men, or are we supposed to follow Christ? Or are we supposed to follow Christ and Him alone? If we do that, we're not going to follow other gods but following other gods is simply this, just creating a God, the second commandment, thou shall not make unto thyself a graven image. That means a God that doesn't mind you lying, stealing, cheating, so on and so forth, or giving your whole heart over to something that takes the place of the living God. That is an idol. That is a false god.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Thou shall not make unto thyself any graven image and he said, nor should you bow down unto it to serve it. Now, I can go here all day long. I've got videos on it. I see it all day and I know that we're coming up into the fall time and they have stadiums all over the country that seat up to a hundred and twenty thousand people. And what's going to happen is a bunch of men that go to football training camp that learn scripted plays because most people haven't been paying attention to the fact that back in the eighties, we were already told that the football and the NFL and the Super Bowls are all pre-planned at the beginning of the season and they even give out the information and disclose information to the American people. This coming from the football players and insiders in the NFL that it's all pre-scripted as to who's going to win and where they're going to win it. It's not just football. It's also the NFL.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
It's also, I'm sorry, the NBA It's also baseball. It's also boxing matches. It's all pre-scripted. I'm just waiting for someone to say that's not true. I am here to tell you: you must have your fingers on your eyeballs because there's so much information of these NFL players coming out today saying, Hey, you know what? They tell me, I'm going to get hurt in two weeks. One football player said it. In two weeks, I'm going to get hurt. You're going to be benched for those two weeks but after that, we're going to put you back in and you're going to make some great plays. And how do they do that?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Well, the referees in the quarterbacks, they script out the plays and the team goes along with the scripts. Again, cross-check everything I'm telling you because I'm trying to make the point that it's all a fraud. It's all premised on the fraud and yet hundreds of thousands of people this fall just in their particular states are going to go watch a bunch of full-grown men in tights fight over a pigskin. That's all scripted. You can even watch Shaquille O'Neal talk about the NBA knowing at the beginning of the season as to where they were going to end up because they got rooms as to where the NBA was going to be played out the finals and they were also told not only to get the rooms, but also who was going to win the championship.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
This is not the new friends. How knowing that it's like pro wrestling. How is it that you have a hundred thousand people inside of one of those arenas all the well knowing that it's fake that it's all scripted? How is it that people deceive them? So see, these are the false gods can also look at Jeremiah 11:13 talks about the very thing about how there's false gods set up in every city. They're football teams, they're baseball teams, they're hockey teams. All the list goes on and it goes on. It's premised on a gambling system, which is set up like a casino. It's all foretold by a bunch of soothsayers. That's what it is and that's why the Lord is so angry about it when he says you followed other gods. Why did you replace Christ and him crucified with a bunch of men that are willfully deceiving the people who are buying the tickets to watch them win a game that they didn't really win?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
That's embarrassing. If you have any questions about that, cross-check me. I invite you to cross-check me. Maybe. I should do a show on this on Sun's Liberty radio up-and-coming but one of the topics that I continually point out among the people in this country is the cycle in which they have been caught up. Case in point, I wrote this book right here and my son just told me down at the Minnesota. State Fair, this one's going. I'm glad it's going and it's interesting who's taken it up. There's not a more prophetic book than this one right here and it's a Prevention. Is Better Than Care. My son the other day, and I'm not going to pull it up, but he sent me something that I wrote in that book, Prevention. Is Better Than Care. And what it was is talking about the cycle of men when they don't learn they're going around the mountain again, they're going to learn it one way or another.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
I'd written in the book that beer companies back in the 80s, and I'm not going to say the name of the company because I need to verify it, but I'm almost 100% sure it's that company and you all know who it is but basically what they did is they didn't add and they said, so many Christians, so few lions. Did you hear me? They did an ad and it said so many Christians, so few lions. These are the companies that the American people are making rich. What are they doing to those riches? They're zeroing in on the people, aren't they? Yeah, they are but I put in there, I said, what's going to happen in this country? Because back in the 80s, there were rules. Let's just go to boxing, for example. We're talking about false gods, but what's interesting is boxers had to have a certain weight on their glove and I noticed that boxers back then were getting killed.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
I remember Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini, one of my favorite fighters in the 80s. I remember he killed Duk Koo Kim. He just punched him and just, that was it. Catastrophic damage to his head. It ruined his career, boombooms and it ruined the life of the boxer that died As a matter of fact, he was from Korea and his mother went and committed suicide after the fact but keep in mind during that particular time, there was a lot of weight in those gloves and then what we noticed is over time, those gloves get lighter and lighter and lighter and lighter. And I told my sons that are all a part of this and they don't realize in many ways, they're not stupid, but I'm just saying that in many ways, they don't understand the severity of the reason why they had so much weight in those gloves is so they wouldn't kill each other.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Well, people are dying in the ring, man. They're just dying in the ring. I told my sons one day, I said those gloves are getting so small. I said, it's just a matter of time before we're back in the Colosseums. You hear me? You need to hear me because it's coming around again, people. Why? Because people don't listen. And what is it? I told them my son, I said to him, I said, it's going to come back to the Colosseums and I said those gloves that you see getting lighter and lighter, pretty soon they're not even going to have gloves Of course, they just chuckle it off. I mean, they act like. I was just born yesterday. They act like. I'm not on top of my game sometimes over here. If we're seeing what's going to happen, according to the prophets, if we don't put a stop to this now.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
The last week was it the week before my son sends me a picture and I want you to see this just so you get what I'm talking about in this book here but he sent to me and he's done this a few times now and it's a picture of none other than Dana White. Okay, this is nine months after the book is written, folks, my life has been just this. I told you that 15 years ago, I told you that 20 years ago, you say to yourself, what are you trying to be a prophet? I'm not trying to be anything. I'm just telling you what I know to be true and I know when I received it from the Lord, I got it. Nobody's taken it away from me and then when I get that word like Jeremiah, it's like a fire shot on my bones and it needs to go.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
It needs to get to the people. What do the people do? They reject it just like Jeremiah until it starts to happen and once it starts to happen, they remember Jeremiah. All they remember when Bradley said it, my son sent this, it's Dana White. He's standing in Roman front of the Colosseums and he wants to have these UFC fights at the Colosseums. It'll cost them $150 million to do it. Remember how. I was just telling you, friends, it's going to get to the point where there's going to be nothing on their hands anymore?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Now they're fighting bare-knuckle. Why? Because the people love it. It's like they love the Colosseums when they watch Christians thrown into a ring. That's how the Caesars would entertain the people and put the fear of the Caesars into the people by taking Christians and throwing them inside of the ring so they could be devoured by animals. That will never happen again. Oh, really? Okay. Okay. Just want to make sure it's in the book. Remember they already said so few lions, so many Christians Hey folks. People love to see people get beat to a bloody pulp and if they die, they don't care. Listen to me carefully. They don't care as long as they're entertained. Don't tell me it's not coming back around. Don't tell me because it's coming full circle right in front of your face right now. Just seeing it probably three days ago. All of a sudden here's these two guys.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
No gloves on. I told my kids this years ago. This is what they're going to do and sure enough we're there right now, even specifically going right back to the Colosseum and again, if they die, oh well, poor guy, he knew the risk. He ran the risk. Tell that to his parents. Tell that to his wife. Tell that to his kids because the point is, friends, do you know how easy it is to take somebody's life? You just hit him the wrong way. You're done. That people pay to see that kind of stuff. That was a side note to what I was talking about. How is it that people go into an arena knowing that the whole system is rigged? They have deceived themselves into believing what is being unveiled to them by a bunch of bad actors. What do you think is happening in politics right now?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Are you really going to suggest to me that they're working for the people? Hey, folks. Are you really going to suggest to me that Senator Cotton or Rand Paul or Nancy Mace or this new appeaser, Mr. Gill, that they're actually going to bring justice? No, they're not. They're just fleecing their constituents from more money on top of the money that they're already taking from the taxpayers to do what to appease you. Where's the justice that guards our liberty? It always proves the point. Let me just say this. Because the people don't understand judgment and they don't keep the commandments of the Lord. You're in this cyclical lesson. You're in this lesson right now America. Here's the fourth time America is going to learn. America is going to learn the lessons concerning what the Lord will not tolerate. Mark my words because they're his words and the judgments of the Lord, are in the earth.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness and only then this is the lesson that America is in today. Well, some will say, well, it's harsh. No, it's not. I just read the Book of Jeremiah. I read 10 chapters over the last three days and the whole time I'm reading it just goes right in like he's speaking directly to me. That's how the Word of God, should always come to us that we had received the engrafted Word, which is able to save our souls, that word makes entrance and gives light to the simple to those that will receive it because we're as to be children learning from our father. Right? I'm going through Jeremiah 1-10 and as I'm going through Jeremiah 1-10, I am seeing exactly America. It reminds me of Isaiah 1. It reminds me of what prophets were sent to and they already knew that the people weren't going to listen, but the Lord, sent them anyways so on judgment day when they stood before them, the Lord's going to say, Nope, I sent so and so and you refuse to hear them.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
I sent so and so and you refuse to hear them. You've seen all of this. You had the time to make it right, but you failed the test. Does that sound familiar? Does that sound familiar people? I say this out of love from my church family. I love my church family. What did. Jesus say in Luke 19? He said, If you had known even you, at least in this day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes Then he talks about how the armies are going to camp against the people who the Lord raised up to judge those people. Anybody see this America? No, nobody sees all these illegals being allured into America. I know a lot of people talk about all these Muslims that are being brought in and how there's 35 jihadi camps throughout America. Are you listening friends?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
But is anybody been paying attention to the fact that there's how many communist Chinese in America? By the way, during the pandemic, they never had to get their shots. Did you know that if you go to the recruiting station in California, they're in San Diego? Do you know the recruiting center for the Navy? He says it is all Chinese. They speak Chinese languages. People aren't paying attention to what's going on. This is happening right now as we speak Bradley, you're scaring me Good. It should scare you straight. It should scare you to the throne room of God. It should scare you. Even if it's diabolical right now, that's okay but I'll tell you what, when the Holy Ghost gets a hold of you, it will be [unclear]. It won't be diabolical. The reason that this is being put forth into your face as America is because you still have the power to right the wrongs. That's the mercy of God.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
I don't think people understand that The mercy of God is. He's not going to do it for you. He's giving you space to repent. What is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance in America? You are there. You're way overdue Way overdue but again, we're talking about the cyclical lessons that we don't learn. What is this cyclical lesson, friends? I mean, just to shoot from the hip, men forget God. They give their allegiance to their political idol, right? Acts 12-22. You see it in every overthrow of a country. Let's just go back to the 1930s. Let's go back to Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong. By the way, in China, they still worship Mao Zedong, who is a nasty murderous peasant. They're forced to worship him. Joseph Stalin, I don't know if you know this or not, but many of the up-and-coming generations are talking about how Joseph Stalin who murdered 60 million of his own people, that he's the father of their country.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
How do depraved can man become? Again, look what happens. Men leave off God, who gives them true liberty in Christ, 2 Corinthians 3, 17. They give themselves and their allegiance over to a man. They forget the God that gave them the possession. What do they do? The man that they gave themselves over to concerning their idols, they worship him. The one that's being worshiped turns on them. Even new here, know your history friends, it's happening in America today in a big way. Those that you give your allegiance to, the Lord will allow them to be used as the one in his hand to judge you Wars are created. They never send their kids. It will be your kids. The Lord does all of this as a judgment to turn people back unto them. Amos 4, they don't listen. The Lord allows it to go on seven times more.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Leviticus 26, starting verse 15. Go to the end of 46 in great specificity. What happens at length? Their countries are destroyed. Guess what their posterity does? They return back to the God that they should have never left in the first place. They turn back to the God that they should have never departed from in the first place. That's exactly where we are in America. We need to unify with the people who have ears to hear that so we can get busy in hopes that this book, Prevention. Is Better Than Care, falls to our lot because what we all need to know is what he did for our forefathers and what he does for every generation he does for the faithful. I mean, look at, I got a comic book here, my testimony and I got the first Scripture on the inside of it is what? O God, forsake me not until I have showed thy strength unto this generation. That applies to us and Thy power to everyone that is to come. That applies to us.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high who has done great things. O God, who is like unto the Psalm 71:18-19. Here's the good news. Did the Lord, ever forsake David? David said the Lord is forever at his right hand and he shall not be moved. He was kept hidden under the shadow of the Almighty. The Bible says that the Lord gave commandment to save him those that are in Christ and if not, that's up to the Lord, right? But I'm talking about King David, we're the seed of, right? And I can go on and on. We have nothing but the promises of God, for us to bring about this impossible situation. Listen to me, family. Hey, our extremity, my goodness. Here's the Holy Ghost. We're called to be witnesses of the resurrection.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Now within ourselves, look to him. Don't look to yourself, but understand this, our extremities are His opportunities. Let us learn the lesson now before we have to learn the lesson later on, the hard way and don't let those lessons be on the backs of your children My goodness, people, My goodness. Our forefathers didn't do that for us. Look at the preamble to the Constitution. They did it for their posterity. That's me and you. Isn't it interesting the example that they left for us? The example that they left for us is that they would not put up with any form of tyranny. Thomas Jefferson was set against it every step of the way and so were the 56 signers Boy. Boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. Our forefathers told us to learn from the past.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Okay. That's the first thing you'll see at the Library of Congress when you look up at the wall, it's inscribed on the wall Learn from the past. The past, hey, church, if anything, now is our opportunity to rise to the level of expectation. Hey, disciples of Jesus Christ, quit looking at yourself, quit looking at your problems, get your eyes off the boisterous waves and get them fixed on the risen Christ so that you might understand what it's like to put yourself in him and him alone who has all power to right all the impossible wrongs that we have put ourselves into, but we must repent. We must repent. Our forefathers taught us to learn from the past, a past in which they did learn from and taught unto us through their example and of course the lessons in which they taught were given by the Word of God, which taught them and teaches us their posterity.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
And what is that? To return to the old paths. You want me to show you this? Yes. I just think it's the coolest thing in the world that the Lord gives us clear direction as to what we're supposed to do. It's like what he's, I'm over in Jeremiah again, but I'm thinking of Jeremiah and I'm thinking, well, what was it that the Lord expected of the people and in the Lord, you know, the Lord is, he's saying, listen to me and he said it in Isaiah, come and reason together with me. The Lord is sitting there asking the people, what is it that he did wrong that they would wickedly depart from him? I mean, we're talking about a God that gave us the heart that we feel when it comes to his heart and his heartbeat. And when you're reading those chapter after chapter, it's like, Oh my goodness, this is America.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Oh my goodness, this is America and it applies to all nations and all people but I kept noticing that, you know what the Lord said? You know what he required of his people to amend our ways. That's what he expected of a, amend your ways. He said, execute justice on the behalf of the poor. That is number one, because that is the heart of God. That is the heart of God, Jeremiah 9:24. Psalm 97, that is the heart of God, Judgment guards our liberties. That is the cross that we all must bear, right? amend your ways. Execute judgment on the behalf of those that have been abused by the wicked.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
But what does the Bible tell us? And I, Jeremiah 5:28, they didn't listen. They just overlooked the deeds of the wicked. They didn't defend the fatherless. They didn't defend the innocent. They didn't defend those that are being made a prey by a bunch of grown men today. Well, that's, that's changing. Amen. Matter of fact, not only that, people are standing up and vigilante justice and taking things into their own matters but I also want to say this concerning the prison issue or the abortion issue. You got a friend named Troy Newman. He runs operation rescue, getting abortion clinics shut down all over the country. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. We're to be valiant for the truth. Do you know that one we're not? The Lord judges those nations. In other words, when you don't believe that he's more than able to overcome through us in our situation and in this current time that we're judging ourselves.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
We're not to limit the Holy One of Israel. No way. No way. But I'll tell you what, in the process of that, friends, we're going to step into some deep waters, but only in those deep waters and extremities are we going to see the hand of God move. Oh, how many, how many generals of God that have gone before us in the centuries before us that have said that if you want to see the Lord move, you're going to have to see it. You're going to have to step into deep waters, deep waters. In other words, you're going to have to trust me with your whole heart and lean not to your own understanding and in all of your ways, acknowledge him and He shall direct your paths Proverbs 3:5. Amen. Amen.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Let me show you this. We're winding down here. Let's go over to the old paths Jeremiah 6:16. What does it say? Again, I want to take a quick drink here, friends. It's been a rough week. No complaints. Just letting you know the Lord says in the midst of all these judgments that he himself is bringing upon the people. Jeremiah begins to prophesy by the Spirit of God. What does he say? Thus say the Lord. What's the Lord, say to all of us? Stand ye in the ways, and see, ask for the old paths. You know what we're seeing today? We're seeing politicians. We're seeing the churches first and foremost what they call churches today. We're seeing them raise up a bunch of heretics who are cherry-picking and changing scripture to look just like themselves. When we look at politics, what do we see? We see a bunch of politicians tearing down the constitution of the United States and erecting one that looks just like them in their new world order.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Am. I right? Okay. The Lord said, go back to the old paths. Go back to the way. I said it was and he said, that's where you want to go and he said, ask for the old paths. Where's the good way? And he said, then walk therein. Even if you have to stand against the whole world and you shall find rest for your souls. Reminds me of Matthew 28, doesn't it? Yeah, it does. Exactly and you shall find rest for your souls but they said, listen to what the people said. A majority of the people today are saying the same thing today, all across the country. The Lord gave them the answer but they said back and answered to the Lord, we will not walk therein. What's the next thing the Lord says in verse 17? He said, I've also set watchmen over you saying, listen carefully to the sound of the trumpet.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
How many people today are listening to the trumpet? You hear it all day long. You hear it on SonsOfLibertyRadio. com six days a week Then you get to hear it in church where you should hear it and you should hear it on the radio as well. People don't want to hear the trumpet. No. They want to be a piece. They want to be led about by a bunch of tyrants is what brings a curse. Jeremiah 17:5, the Lord said, I've sent watchmen over you saying, listen carefully to the sound of the trumpet but they said, we will not hearken Then he says in verse 18, therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation. What is amongst you here? Oh earth, this is the Lord, saying, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts but they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Oh, that's still applicable today. I don't care what the heretic and the pulpit first Timothy for one has to say they speak folks, they're pernicious and they speak evil of the way of truth. Why? Because they don't walk in that light. That's why. I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts and why because they have not listened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it. I was just seeing somebody was just highlighting what was it yesterday, a guy that was put on a chair. It was an iron chair and they put him in a Colosseum and they martyred him and the cave was a younger man and he was a new convert to Christianity and they put him in front of the whole Colosseum filled with people roaring because they wanted to see him fry.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Well, that's what they did but he gave forth a good profession by not falling to the trial Oh, people love that They love the prophets, dead prophets. They love the martyrs. They love the stories of all those men of God that have gone before them, but somehow or another they think that God has changed. I better get to this. What is the cyclical lessons? Well, William Hendrickson. He uses a little, alliteration of the four R's to describe this cycle that is repetitive in the Book of Judges.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Okay. The first R get this. The first R means relapse. This is when people forget the Lord, and put man in his place. Again, scripture tells us that in Jeremiah 17:5. It says, thus say, the Lord, cursed be the man that trusted in man and make it flesh his arm and whose heart departed from the Lord. Yep. The second R stands for retribution. This is retribution upon a disobedient people. Let me say this, that retribution comes from the God that the people disobey. Doesn't come from the devil. Get that out of your head. The Lord is the one that blesses in the weal and the woe friends, not the devil. He's already been judged. He's a defeated foe. He just adds to the problem. He's there to basically, like he did with Job, he's allowed to do certain things to prove the children of God. That's all it is.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Right. the degree of corruption towards the Lord, read Proverbs seven, two, tolerated by the people will be to the degree of judgment upon them by the Lord. This is what bothers me about what we're talking about right now and we, and you say to yourself, Bradley, why is it that you always refer back to the issue of abortion? Because when I look at scripture, second Kings 24 verse four, one of the things that bothers me greatly is it's one of the sins - the shedding of innocent blood - that the Lord will not pardon. He hates it Proverbs 6:17 and I know from knowing enough of the Word of God that God is absolute in his retribution and I'm not talking about the repentant and I'm not talking about those that are in Christ. That judgment's already passed. I'm talking about those that are outside of it.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
So when you calculate 80 million babies that have been murdered and then you see all these individuals coming from countries that want to be behead you and dismember you and to shed your blood, you better understand where that's coming from and that's what amazes me about the American people as acting as if the issue of abortion, children being murdered in the womb has no bearing on them. Oh yeah, your accomplices on the side of God, and to the degree that innocent blood has been shed. Listen to me carefully to the degree that the innocent blood has been shed will be to the exact judgment of recompense coming from God, upon those people, That's not that's when he says he would judge this according to our evil thoughts. That's exactly you know, an evil thought is that you have nothing to do to put a stop to it.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Well, you know what? I just heard somebody say this the other day, we could change this country in a week Oh, there's no doubt. If we really truly love the Lord, we could change this country in no time at all and I'll tell you where it starts. It first starts with the people of God, the church, the people, not the building and then what takes place, there's the fruits of repentance. That means we begin to clean house. We get, we begin to go back to the old paths. We take the broom, sweep off which so much dust is collected upon and we read it and we hold back to it. Just like Josiah in 22 of Second Kings, we could change this country in no time but you know, instead of responsibility, by the way, the word that I'm giving you right now is the Word of God.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
What are you hearing from the higherlings in contrast? Raptured from responsibility nonsense isn't going to happen Isn't scriptural. It just isn't going to happen. Not the way that they're pointing it out to be. It's heresy and so are the people who pen those heresies. Read Revelation 22, start in verse 18, go to the end of the chapter. Okay. So what's the fourth R? Well, The third R stands for repentance. That falls to the people. You violated God's moral law. You've offended the majesty on high Repent. Read the Ten Commandments. They're guilty of breaking every single one of them. See, and then when the Lord's chastisements are not taking heed to by the rebellious, they still haven't learned yet and bringing about godly repentance. He will then bring judgments upon the people to answer his purpose. Why is it that people don't put that into perspective?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
I mean, the church is built upon the apostles and the prophets, right? And if we want to remain as a people, the Lord said, take heed to the prophets and that's an established word. So when the storms come, we're not going to be washed away with it. Again, people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. It's the Lord, that brings judgment. It's not the devil people and that's going to happen in this life and I fear that because few listen and respond accordingly, what bothers me about it is they act like it's not their responsibility to right the wrongs. That's the whole purpose. The church is on this earth. People is to fight this warfare. The fourth R stands for rescue, reclamation, bringing you back to the Christ who empowers you by the Holy Ghost through redemption and that's all bought and paid for by his blood.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
I speak as a man. I don't mean to talk lightly if it comes across that way in any sense of the word concerning the sacrifice. No way. I live for what he died for but again, the fourth R stands for what? It stands for rescue, reclamation, and redemption. That is to those who have repented towards the Lord, and are set for his purposes in Christ. Jesus Yes, I'll say that Guys, listen to me. There are people out there and I can give you names, but no matter what I say to you, you're going to say, well, some Pharisee because I just got a little bit of it last week and it's just the one or two people, That's what I'm trying to highlight so it's the squeaky wheel but there are people out there that are put in front of you besides the obvious. I mean, heretics like John Hagee, Jack Hibbs, Greg [surname unclear], I mean, the list goes on. They're heretics.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
They're all bought and paid for. They're influencers for Zionism. That's what it is Rothschild's Zionist state. That's what they're up. That's what they are. Okay. We know who they are but there's other people who are kind of more middle of the way. And what they are is they're appointed as gatekeepers and some of the things that I see that they post and it bothers me greatly. Like for example, I see this individual, what he does, he likes to take pictures of him holding a Bible and then he looks down and they take a picture. That's his political, that's his photo op and then they send it throughout the churches and then the people give him all this money. We need to pray. We need to pray. Just sick, pathetic and gross 1 Kings 13:33. Why am I saying that I have a problem with that?

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Well, let me give you another one because I think of him too and I don't want to forget about him but that's how he talks about his repentance Oh, okay. Repentance, repentance, repentance, repentance, repentance and it's like, I'd like to see some of these guys outside of the church building. Because they're going around telling people how they're supposed to live their life, but they never live outside of the building and if they do, they have to go to a third world country to a people who don't know the difference concerning how hypocritical that many of them are.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Hey, folks, there's nothing wrong with prayer, but don't hide behind it. David prayed, but he still went out and took on Goliath. Okay. The Lord gave him an opportunity, not only to pray, but also remember King David said, in answer to what I'm talking about here, that the Lord, broke through like a dam upon his enemies Oh, goodness. Let judgment run down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream into the camps of my enemies. The Lord gave David the neck of his enemies that they were no longer able to rise again. That's what I'm talking about and he took on Goliath though, if we heard today, you know, King David was anointed a king, but nobody ever takes the time to pull the curtain back. Yes, he was appointed a king but the first thing the Lord gave him was a Goliath and no, he didn't hide behind prayer.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
I get tired of that I'm talking about Franklin Graham sickens me to the core Gross. It's always prayer. It's always propping up his political candidate. It's always pray for them, never reprove them or correct them or instruct them. Like we're taught in the Word of God. No, but it's always their wake, keeping the commandments of God, to make void the commandments of God. That's why you are in trouble, America and Jesus warned us of it in Mark seven Can't stand the guy. He's a fraud is what he is Pray, pray. Really? We should just pray. By the way, Franklin Graham is also the guy that got out there and he stood in front of Donald Trump and he said to him, you know, abortion, putting a stop to abortion, it's not going to take precedence right now.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Okay. That's on the church. That is a dangerous, dangerous game. Instead of him turning around and reproving the one who, according to the host, added $600 million to abortion funding while telling his supporters something completely different like he always does. You have the gatekeeper, Franklin Graham, get up and tell people don't, we're not going to take that on. Now that that's a thing of the past. He's already in office. He got there. We don't need to tell you that Now what we're going to do is we're going to rescind back on our promises. Is that his job? Is it his job to tell you to go out and get a vaccine? Go get a shot? That's what he did. He said. Jesus would have took the shot. Why do you people listen to these hirelings, these charlatans? That's exactly, folks, if I had the opportunity to see him, that's exactly what I'd say to his face. I'm offended by him.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
The other one, he likes to just talk about repentance all the time and I know many people respect this guy. I must be missing something because almost everything that I see and hear from this guy is always pretty much the same thing is Franklin. And what is it? Repentance. Repentance. Man, I mean, they got you so fixed on repentance that you're never going to go about, empowered by the Holy Ghost to actually write a book of Acts through your own life. It's backwards Americans and it's not the whole gospel. It's part. It's the American version of it and again, it should sicken every one of you. That's why we're at the Minnesota State Fair because we see too much of what people leave on undone. We're the only ones at the Minnesota State Fair. We've been the only ones at the Minnesota State Fair that hasn't been there to entertain the people at their dinner halls.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
No joke. I started the service off today talking about how Black Lives Matter is right next to us All around us. You know, I remember in 101st Airborne Dick Winters, they were paratroopers in the 101st. Airborne, 506th [unit designation as stated], a Jeep driver looked at him and said, Hey, right when they got into Bastogne, he looked at him and he said, I just want to let you know something, Captain, you're surrounded Hey, church. Like Dick Winters said, we're supposed to be surrounded. We've been dropped into the enemy's camp. They're to our right; they're to our left. They're in front of us. They're behind us. That's where they're supposed to be. Those are the ones we're called to preach to, not to overlook, not to ostracize, not to kick to the curb. No, those are the people we're called to preach to. I'm sorry, preach to, you know, he's just talking about the last one speaking of which the guy that let you just, that's all he talks about is repentance. He's just gross.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
The younger generation looks at guys like this and they just laugh. I mean, the looks of many of what people listen to in this country, when the enemy looks at him, do you not understand the enemies are encouraged by them? I mean, again, what people listen to, it's interesting how whatever starts at the top goes to the bottom, I can see exactly what message you're listening to by what you don't do. He spend all day at home just doing what the man said and what is that to repent? The Lord says, okay, enough. And then he says in Hebrews 6:1, leaving therefore the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God. I mean, what was James two, 14 to 26 written for faith without works is dead.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Paul said, I'll show you my faith by my works, by what I do. These people never take you across the line friends. They never lead you across the line and if you read the Word of God, you would know you'd be offended at this as well. It doesn't represent Christ. Christ is the standard. Let me say it again. Christ and Him alone is the standard Christ is the standard. Him alone is whom we follow. We keep our eyes single upon the Christ. We stay in the word. We as 2 Timothy 2:15 talks about we study to show ourselves approved unto God, a workman that need if not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Why? Because he is the bread of life. He's the bread of life. And when we feed upon him, he gives us his life and that life is given to the world as we're faithful with the life that's been given unto us. That's how people get saved and I'll tell you what, you always know people who have been saved by what they do.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
They're out there doing the same thing the Lord did for them and without it, they're hypocrites Stay away from them Period. Cool. Okay so folks, let's understand the cyclical lesson. Again, the fourth R stands for rescue, reclamation, and redemption. This is the cyclical pattern that we read over and over again in the Book of Judges. They don't learn, then they learn the hard way, then they go for 40 years and then they learn the hard way Then they go 40 years again, then they learn the hard way, then they go another 40 years and then they learn the hard way. Folks, it's the cyclical lesson is the history lesson of a people who haven't learned from history. They haven't learned their lesson so I say, let's learn the lesson.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Hey, folks, we've got a lot to do. Hey, when I was saying there in front of us behind us, look at the opportunities the Lord gives us. You know, when I look at all those that we preach against concerning false preachers, false teachers and false paths, prophets, the word warns us over and over again to call them out. Right? The best way to call them out is to undo what they don't do by doing it. That's how you undo it. It reminds me of son of Dodo, L. E. A. S. R. when it was time to go to war against the Philistines, all the people who professed to be the children of God, what do they do? They turned away from the war and they ran away.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
But what did L. E. A. S. R. do? He was one of David's three mighty men, by the way, in the book of 2 Samuel. What did he do? He picked up the sword of the Lord. He went after the Philistines all by himself and he defeated them. Remember who it was that was empowering him to defeat the Philistines. Okay? Hey, folks, after he won the battle, guess what happened? All those that ran from the battle, they ran to L. E. A. S. R. Why? Because they wanted the spoil. Isn't that typical? Yeah.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Here, let me just say this in ending. The best book in our library, the best book that we're going to be able to leave our children, our grandchildren, our posterity, our wives, if we go first, our immediate children, whatever the case might be. The best book in the minister's library is what the Lord has done through him. We're to magnify the works of the Lord. The only way that we're going to magnify the works of the Lord is by getting busy. I want to say this. We're down at the Minnesota State Fair. I'll get the number straight by tomorrow. It's year 16 or 17. We have a potential of 3 million people who go through there every year and we're there because we know that and because I was one of those people going through the state fair and the only thing. I ever got was the little four unspiritual modern gospel heresy pamphlets that was put on the back of a toilet seat.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Gosh. You know, I nobody believes these cowards is because they don't even believe their own message but I remember seeing those and I just when I got saved, it's like, wait a second. I remember complaining about that Now. I need to go out there and do everything that wasn't done on my part where we see the wrongs. We pick it up and we make it right. Where we see the air, we pick it up and we correct the error within our own lives and we lead like Eleazar leads as we follow the Christ. What an opportunity we have. What an absolute opportunity we have with all the bad things going on. Everything falling down upon us. The Bible says in Isaiah 58:12 that we're supposed to be the repairs of the breach.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Hey, folks, we need help doing that We can do this. I'm talking to my church family, We can do this. Let's come under the umbrella of who we are called to be in Christ. I do want to say this.

After this date is up, I can go to the schedule over at SonsOfLibertyMedia. com as well. We're going to be in Princeton, Minnesota. Don't know what that's all about. We'll dig into that once we're done with the Minnesota State Fair. We're going till September 7th, 12 days in a row and I believe we're on day eight right now Or, I'm sorry, day four so we got eight days to go. Bottom of the Minnesota Grandstand where all the music's played. East end, second row in, bottom floor. Minnesota Grandstand, go to the bottom floor. A lot of people have come out so far. Thank you for doing that, by the way but anyways, always cheers people when you come by and say, listening to Bradley on the radio or just seeing Stephanie's new video or whatever the case is.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
We just appreciate the support and again, bottom floor Grandstand, Minnesota State Fair. East end, second row in. Also wanted to tell you this, folks, I know that I take the time every week. I'm just asking the question and I want to know why. Why. I have any of these left in our cabinets? I have no idea. This book is about a simple to understand and it is a prophetic timeline of exactly what it's the map in the mall that shows us exactly where we are and the book is premised on encouraging believers because its Prevention. Is Better Than Care. It's called Children in the Apostate. That's what it's called. How. I have any left? I don't know. At the Minnesota State Fair, my son told me last night that they're just flying off the shelf Praise God. I'm glad somebody's listening. I don't want it to be the book of lamentations.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
No doubt about it There's also three packs. This one, all the prophets were pointing to the front. Behold the Lamb of God, which take the way the sins of the world, Jeremiah, or, I'm sorry,. John 1:29, this one first and then soldier of the cross Then the armor first, the heart, then the armor. This one is a baby Christian's dream. It's called grass doesn't work. The rocks do super easy to understand all premised on testimony. This is called Face Off: Weapons of War. Next week, by the way, friends, we're going to highlight the prophets because I want to tell you something. The prophets of God, didn't go around telling people what they wanted to hear nor do they today in the present and don't tell me about how it's the thing of the past when you don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
Okay. Read Acts, or, I'm sorry, 1 Corinthians 12:28. This one's called Face Off: Characteristics of the Prophet, how the function works, talking about the gifts of the spirit that we would not serve dumb idols. This is another one. This was done by Marvel. DC comic, Danny Boulonati took me about a year and a half, two years to get it done. Absolutely fantastic. It educates after my testimony and then it also puts the test to the people. Okay Super easy All premised on testimony and finally, this become a son or a daughter of liberty today. And the way that you do that is you keep this out there consistently, which is always a great help to us because it always shows us what it is and what we're able to do concerning that month.

Speaker 1 - Bradley Dean - Host
So, it's a lot of fun.
