Framing the Election: A Battle Between Good and Evil, Not Just Politics
And we are working together to save our country. And we are unrelenting in that quest. And we're going to win. There's no question about it. We are going to win. Well, look, today I want to talk to you about this upcoming election, and I want to approach it from a slightly different perspective, because I know we're talking a lot about it, but, God has given me different angles at which and by which to look at this, and I hope by which you will be helped in talking to other people who may not understand the gravity of this election or people who may not understand the gravity of, frankly, the battle that we are in for the soul of this country. And that's what I want to talk about today. Because if you reduce this election to merely a battle between Republican and Democrat, while the Democrats going to control the Congress or the, the Republicans are going to control the Congress, I think you're completely missing the boat. It's about much, much, much more than that, or even about the ideological polls. You know, this is between the right and the left, or, between conservatives and liberals. I, think that that's still much too superficial. I think it goes far deeper than that. And let me just say right off the bat, I believe this election coming up is one of the most serious contests we've had between good and evil, between, frankly, the forces and servants and children of God and the children of the devil. I mean, I think it boils down to that fundamental and that stark a choice. You know, the Bible calls the children of devil the sons of perdition. Otherwise, people who, not because we want them to, or because God wants them to, but because the choices they've made, they bound themselves to hell. Now, I've used the scripture before, Psalm 9, 17. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Now, why the wicked turned into hell? And why nation? Why are nations that forget God turning to hell? Because they are Bound to the devil and hell is all bound up in him. Because stealing, killing, destroying, chaos and anarchy, pain, anguish, harm, everything negative is what he represents. And sadly, it's what the Demon Crat party has come to represent. Everything negative. The Democrat party has come to represent, absolute unqualified rebellion against the laws of nature and nature's God. As the founding fathers put it, everything God's for, they're against. Everything God's against, therefore. So we can't allow people to dismiss this as well, you know, I mean, I think that's why so many people make the mistake. Well, the Republicans are in control of the White House and they've had control of the Congress. I think it's time we gave it to the other party now just to balance things out. Oh, my goodness. Oh, I, mean, that's like saying, well, you know, I've been healthy for quite a while. I think it's time I get sick. Just kind of balance things out. No, you want to stay healthy, you want to get healthier and healthier and healthier. You don't want to get sick because you think that's going to help balance out your sense of well being. I mean, that would be insane. And yet so many people seem to think about politics that way. Oh, well, that group's in charge and we've had some things go wrong. So now we're going to put this other group in charge and see what they do. Or we're going to balance it out so that they can. They have to fight each other. Folks, that is the wrong approach. They said the independence are leaning blue, so sometimes they lean red, sometimes they lean blue because apparently they don't have a set of convictions that drive them, that motivate them, that anchor them. And so they just look at the circumstances and blow whichever way they think the circumstances are blowing them. We as Christians don't do that. We are anchored in rock solid, unswerving convictions, truth. And therefore we don't move and the circumstances do not move us. Our faith in God, our commitment to His Word is what moves us. So if the election is not ultimately about that, we always say it's not ultimately a political battle, it is a spiritual battle. So there's a number of choices that, that we are making, which is why we can't kind of bounce back and forth depending. Well, they did. This group's in charge now. We're going to vote for that group because we're going to make them balance it out. Folks, I say that's insane. It's suicidal. Because this is a question now, part of the question that we are confronting now, given what we know the Democratic Socialists of America support, and given what we've heard the Democrat Party talk about expanding the Supreme Court, doing away with the Electoral College, we are now looking at a situation where we're choosing whether we're going to uphold our constitutional republic or, we're going to descend into a socialist tyranny. I know with you all, I don't have to explain these things in detail because you know them, but this is just worth reiterating. The Founding Fathers didn't establish the Electoral College in the Constitution of the United States, just kind of willy nilly just to do something that they thought would be interesting and fun. They did it because they understood that in a country where you have a diverse and different, group of states in different regions with different size populations, with different demographics, you don't want the larger states gobbling up the smaller states or at least trampling the smaller states because they have so much more power because of their larger populations or their larger land mass or whatever it is. And so they created a system, A, bicameral legislature, part of which is determined by population. The other part is determined the upper chamber, the Senate, determined by, by states. Every state has two senators. No matter how big the state is, no matter how small the state is, it has two senators. And the Electoral College was meant to balance out the disparity in power between those states that would have gigantic populations, as for example, California. 39 million people in California, and that's with some reduction in their population. And I think Texas, if I'm not mistaken, 28, 29 million people in Texas. Well, one's conservative, one's liberal. But the Founding Fathers at the time, by the way, that they wrote the Constitution, the largest state was my home state. The largest state was Virginia. Yet Virginia with, oh my goodness, what were the numbers, If I am not mistaken, at the time Virginia had. Oh, you know what, folks, I'm not going to go for memory, but I'm multiple times more than smaller states, we'll put it that way. Multiple times more than smaller states. Okay, Compared, to Rhode Island, Virginia was a gargantuan. But the Founding Fathers wisely realized they didn't want Virginia gobbling up, say, for example in Rhode island, which was a much smaller state, or just basically trampling Rhode island or basically saying Rhode island, you are, irrelevant. They established the Electoral College so that states felt that they had some stake in the game. And so the candidates knew that they had to appeal across the board. They couldn't ignore the smaller states simply because they had small populations, because the electoral college system balanced that out, that larger states still have more electoral college votes. But the disparity is not as great as it would be without the electoral college. But the Democrats want to throw all that out, which would really think about it. California, NewSong York, two of the most populous states in the country would have a disproportionate amount of power. But that's what they want because they feel like the urban centers has the largest populations. We'll get all the urban centers and, and we can control the country. That's really what they're thinking. You add in the illegal aliens and we've got full control, carte blanche to do whatever we want to do. You get rid of the Constitution, you get rid of all these so called checks and balances and basically it's pre sailing. We can basically with a majority vote do pretty much anything we want to do. That's where they want to take it folks. There's a name for that. It's not democracy. The founding fathers didn't want us to become a democracy because they knew democracies have a tendency to degenerate into mob rule. So the democracy becomes a tyranny. And this proposal doing away with the Supreme Court, doing away with the presidency. What they're really trying to do is do away with the checks and balances that were built into the Constitution to make sure that no one entity had absolute power. What the socialists are proposing is exactly the opposite. They want one entity to have absolute power, folks. And when that happens, just kiss freedom goodbye. Just kiss it goodbye. And that's exactly what they're trying to do. That's what they're trying to effectuate. I've told you, they want a one party state. They want singular hegemony, control so that they can have the thing that they covet most, absolute power. I mean that's on the ballot folks. That's what we're voting about. Not just is this Republican going to win over this Democrat. Of course that's how this plays out. But that's really the surface view. Underneath is something much more profound. I mean we're going to be voting on whether we're going to maintain, strengthen, rebuild the traditional family or discard it. The Democrats want to discard it. I mean that, that case, Lindsey Clancy and the way those leftists in Massachusetts voted because they simply do not believe in the sacredness of family the way you And I do. They do not believe that children are a, ah, gift from God the way you and I do. They wanted to make Lindsay Clancy the victim when she'd murdered three children because they simply don't put the same value on family that you and I do. If we allow them to be in charge, they will eventually basically destroy the family because that's what they've done in the inner cities across the country. They've done that already pretty much. It can be rebuilt, but you better believe they'll never do it because they don't want it. They want people dependent upon the state. Traditional families don't tend to be dependent. They want to control people's children. When daddies are in the home, that becomes very hard to do because fathers are more authoritative and are more willing to take a stand and say, no, this is what I want for my child. This is what's going to happen. This is what's not going to happen. You got these young girls that barely grown themselves trying to raise children and the state just has a field day. The Communist party from the very beginning wanted to destroy the family. That was part of Karl Marx's theory of what had to happen in order to have this wonderful utopian communist state that everybody wants to, that, that the communists want to create. That's on the ballot folks, even if there's no, I mean here in Virginia it's explicitly on the ballot because they're trying to put on the, put into the Virginia constitution that marriage between two men or two women is a, is a constitutional right in Virginia. And every time they pass these stupid godless, just sinful, depraved, abominable laws that they undermined the vitality of the family as God ordained it. Now when they first started this mess, and I would say that, you know, I'd got a lot of pushback. Oh no, this has nothing to do with that. That's not going to in any way affect the family. Let me ask you something. If ah, we went out and printed right now a ah, trillion dollars in counterfeit money, do you think that would have an impact on, on the real thing? You better believe it would because you know what it would do? It would diminish its value. Wouldn't, would diminish its value. All these counterfeits of what the family is supposed to do, supposed to be, do nothing but diminish the authentic, the real, what God created. Because it paints a picture for people that well, kind of the family can kind of be anything and it can't it is what God intended it to be. That's what the true family is. Now realize there are legitimate situations, ah, of widow widows and widowers in situations where women are being abused, or sometimes even men, but somebody's being abused, they can't stay in that situation because it's not safe for them, not safe for the children. And they are forced into a circumstance where they've got to live apart from the other spouse. And maybe ultimately that ends in divorce. And I understand that, and I'm not condemning people who go through those kinds of situations and have those kinds of experiences. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about government policy that incentivizes baby mamahood. Men making a bunch of babies that they don't take care of and women having a bunch of babies that they expect the state to take care of. And marrying two men and call, I mean, taking two men through some witchcraft ritual and calling that a marriage, because it's not. It's witchcraft. I don't care if you got somebody with the most glowing robe that they could find. They put that thing on and they stand before two homosexuals and perform some sort of, stupid ceremony and call that a marriage is not a marriage. It never was, never can, never will be. But every time you do that, every time they do that, they denigrate the real thing. They devalue the real thing. That's on the ballot, folks, whether it's an explicit referendum like it is here in Virginia or not. It is on the ballot because the Democrats do not, like, appreciate, value family as God ordained it. Do we protect the innocence of our children or do we allow these evil forces to sexualize kids at an early age? Oh, you belong, you belong in a girl's body. You're in the wrong body. You belong in a boy's body. You're in the wrong body. We'll give you hormones to stop your puberty. We're going to prepare you for surgery because you were really meant to be a girl. You were really meant. I mean, oh, my folks, I mean, my blood boils even just to say that, because it's just, it's evil. It's just evil.
The Escalating Threat: Child Abuse and Grooming by Those Who Undermine Parental Authority
That's what I mean when I say Republican versus Democrat. That is just the tip of the iceberg that's just barely scratching the surface of what's at stake here, messing with children like that. And the thing is, I really believe this, that, that normal adults wired the way God intended, have a, visceral, deep guttural reaction against the abuse of children because we know they're innocent and they can't defend themselves. Here's some adult wants to step between a child and their parent. Parent who loves the child, trying to take care of the child, teach the child, feed the child, clothe the child, keep the child safe in a safe, secure environment where the child can grow up and mature and develop into, an independent adult. And some teacher or some stupid school administrator wants to step in between that and say, well, Johnny, we're going to help you become Jane. But don't tell your mother, don't tell your father, because they wouldn't understand. As far as I'm concerned, people who do that ought, to be locked up. Ought to be locked up for child abuse. Because to me, that's what that is. That's grooming. And no normal person would ever want to do that. I may have said it on this program, but I know I've said it somewhere. I have two beautiful grandchildren. Beautiful grandchildren. And I've got a granddaughter. And the last time I was visiting with them, I was. I had to make a run, to the supermarket. And I told my granddaughter, I said, you want to go to supermarket? She said, yes, I want to go to supermarket with your granddaddy. I said, well, let's ask your mother if that's okay, because I want to teach her that I recognize the authority of her parents and I'm her grandfather, but I want her to know your. Your parents get to call the shots, and we're not doing anything without their permission. And you got school teachers and administrators who think they can step in between path. I mean, what is wrong with these people? Well, we know what's wrong with them. The devil is what's wrong with them. do we allow men to go into the private spaces of our wives, our daughters, our granddaughters? And look, folks, forgive me, because I don't. I'm not trying to be. I don't want to be inappropriate here, but I do want to be as straightforward as I can be because I think people need to understand the gravity of this situation. You know, don't you? The data is clear. I think somewhere around 94% of men. It's. It's a very high number. I'm going from memory. I didn't check the exact number based on studies before, but you can look it up yourself. But it's a very high percentage of men who come into gender dysphoria and think they're women. Okay, so they're come they come into gender dysphoria, they think they're women, but, but overwhelmingly they remain sexually attracted to women. They want to dress up like a woman, they want to wear makeup like a woman, they want to put on a woman's wig, they want to wear women's dresses, but they want to be intimate with a woman in the old fashioned way. Now don't ask me how that works because all this stuff is just, it's confusion. This is why when they put men in the women's prison because the men claimed they were women, they found out that these so called, these men who claimed to somehow be women started raping the women in the female prison.
Invasion of Private Spaces: The Outrage of Men in Girls' Locker Rooms and Showers
So when we're sending guys into the girl's locker room and into the girl's sh. Shower, let alone playing on their sports teams, which is a, that's, that's another aspect of this obviously, but this part is just as important. You send men into those very private spaces and there have been m. There's been more than one testimony that girls have witnessed these so called. These guys who claim to be women have witnessed them become aroused in the shower because they're looking at women and they're still sexually attracted to them and they become aroused with these women in the shower. Now what you know folks, that is sexual assault. That'd be against the law. That to me is doing nothing but giving a ah, deviant an opportunity to expose himself. That's all it boils down to. You got these stupid sports officials and teachers and administrators running around telling us that those who oppose this somehow we're the bad people. Something's wrong with that. We, we're bad. We. And the girls who become embarrassed and feel assaulted and feel put upon and have. Are forced into these situations and then complain and they treat the girls like they've done something wrong. I mean, yeah, folks, you can tell. I mean this stuff, this stuff makes me angry. Bible says be angry and sin not. I, I believe I'm, I don't believe I'm sinning because it ought to make. This stuff ought to make any human being angry. It certainly ought to make any man angry. Because you think about some man going into the, the shower with your wife, your daughter, your granddaughter. Cuz he claims he's supposed, he's supposed to be and he's in there aroused. I tell you, folks, I'm a Christian, I love the Lord and I have no interest in hurting anybody. And I mean that with all my heart. But I tell you what, that kind of stuff is enough to make you want to fight. Can I just be honest with you? Really, folks. Imagine, walking into a situation like that and you find a man and oh my goodness, Lord help us here. I mean, Jesus beat the, the money changes out of the temple. I wonder, could I extrapolate from there and whoop some man out of the shower?
The Ultimate Ballot Issue: Abortion as Sacrifice and the Killing of Our Nation's Future
Listen, I, I think that, I think that interpretation might work because it's just, it is just utterly ridiculous. And yet, folks, that's what's on the ballot. When you come right down to it, that is what is on the ballot. And of course, look, I haven't even yet gotten to the ultimate. And let me bring that up now. It is always on the ballot because liberals now worship at the altar of the blood of innocent babies. They sacrifice the innocent, the blood of unborn babies. They sacrifice those babies on the altar of selfishness and Satan. Now, we just might as well say it for what it is, because that's exactly what it is. This is satanic. And you all know the satanic temple established an abortion clinic and said called it one of their rights. Abortion, right R I T E one of their rituals to kill an unborn baby. Because they can get away with that easily. They might want to kill a young child, but they can't really get away with that. You go to jail for murder, but they can kill his unborn baby and somehow, excuse me, but somehow that gets, that can get overlooked. So they take full advantage of it. Are, we going to be a society that kills our progeny, that kills the future of this country before they take their first breath? Or are we going to be a society, as our founding fathers set forth, that protects life so that there can be liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Those children deserve that, don't you think? They deserve life. They deserve liberty and they deserve the right. When the time comes and they come of age, they deserve the right to pursue happiness as they understand it. Our founding fathers, by the way, were talking about virtue. They weren't talking about a life of license and sin and hedonism. When they talked about the pursuit of happiness, they were talking about pursuing virtue. See, because they understood that a, free people must be a virtuous people or freedom will descend into tyranny. Because if they are licentious, if they are hedonistic, if they are philistines, someone else will have to restrain them. But the first principle of self government is governing one's self. And the founding fathers understood that. Doesn't an unborn baby, which you once were which I once was, which all of us once were, have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You better believe they do. I don't care if a thousand politicians, I don't care if a million politicians. I don't care if 10, thousands of thousands Supreme Court justices say no, they don't, and we can kill them if we want to. They're wrong. Every single one of them is wrong. Planned Parenthood is nothing but a glorified death cult. That's all it is. And that's all the abortion industry is. It's a glorified death cult. And it's on the ballot whether there's a referendum on the ballot or not. Whether there's. It's on the ballot because demon crats are devoted to killing unborn babies. That is their race and d'. Etre. That is their stock in trade. That is their highest sacrifice to their pagan God. This is why I say, folks, the Democrat party has become a demonic culture. And that's why they must be voted out of office. They must be. We cannot give them control of the Congress. We cannot give them control of the House, we cannot give them control of the Senate, and we cannot give them control of the presidency ever again. Ever again. We can't. We cannot give it to them because they're too dangerous in those roles. And since, unlike, them, we're not willing to lie, cheat, steal, or kill to stop people from doing things that we think are wrong, we have got to pray and vote and engage and be active in order to stop them from being able to carry out their wicked plans. Now, you know, Jesus said in Matthew 24:21, for there will be great tribulation. Trouble. Word tribulation means great trouble. Such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time. No, nor ever shall be. And, you know, I'm not saying we're in the great tribulation right now, but I will say this. We're seeing trouble. Unlike, anything the world's ever seen before. Do you think there was ever a time in the world before where adults were telling children they were born in the wrong body? And taking a knife and cutting that child's body, mutilating that child's body in a way from which that child can never, ever recover or go back from? You think there was ever a time like that? No. Couldn't have been. Couldn't have been. I mean, men have been castrated in the past, but that wasn't to try to change them. That was try to make them More docile, make them more trustworthy, make them less masculine, if you will. Wicked, evil. It was bad. And I'm not in any way justifying that. But that's not like what's happening today where you're actually convincing people that somehow their lives are going to be made better because you're going to turn them into something they weren't born and can never become. I mean, maybe in the days of Molech and Ashtarah, when people were sacrificing their children explicitly to pagan gods, burning them alive, on the fires of Molech, maybe people went around and bragged about the fact that they'd kill their own child, burn their own child alive. Maybe they did. We don't, we don't have the record of that. We know they did it. But we are living in a time now where large groups of people are gathering together, celebrating the fact that they killed their own progeny, celebrating it like they've done something heroic, like they've done something good, something virtuous. Woe to those who put evil for good and good for evil. And that's exactly what they're doing.
The Ballot's Scope: From Supreme Court Expansion to Psychotic Socialist Agendas
And folks, all of this is on the ballot. All of it is on the ballot. I mean, expanding the Supreme Court, single payer health care. Where has that ever worked? Nowhere. Ever. And with these, so called democratic demon crat socialists, abolishing the US Senate, abolishing the presidency, abolishing the Supreme Court, abolishing ice, abolishing police departments, abolishing prisons. I mean folks, this stuff is psychotic. It really, it borders on the insane. But then, a true cult really is insane. I mean morally at least, and spiritually they're insane. Ending aid to Israel, declaring Israel an apartheid nation. You know, I remember because I was in school at the time I was alive, during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Didn't fully understand it, but I knew it was a serious situation. Jon F. Kennedy, and I dare say his entire family were virulently anti communist. I mean they were vehement anti communists. They understood the evils of communism. They hated it and they wanted to defeat it in the worst way. I mean, say what you will about the Vietnam War, but that's what got us into the Vietnam War. It wasn't some kind of racist thing of we're going to go control these Asians. We were fighting for the Asians in South Vietnam. People just twist this stuff up and just come to all kinds of stupid conclusions that have nothing to do with the historical facts. We were trying to stop the march of Communism. JFK got us into that, but that was his motivation because he realized communism is an evil ideology and it must be stopped. It must be checkmated. Well, the Democrat Party is far from being an anti communist party. In fact, now it's the party of Karl Marx. Democrats have more admiration for Karl Marx. Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara. Ah, remember Hugo Chavez? You had Hollywood people going down there to Venezuela, you know, to bow at the feet of Hugo Chavez and kiss his feet. And he's proclaiming socialism as the answer. And look at where Venezuela is now. It never works, but somehow they want to convince us that when they do it, oh, they're going to do it the right way. Well, that's been the mantra of every would be dictator and tyrant. Every little communist imp m telling us about the utopia they're going to bring us if we just trust them. Folks, all this is on the ballot. So, yeah, know that candidate, Republican, the more likely candidate who reflects your values, Democrat. Know who they are, know what they stand for, but understand all these things I just laid out for you and more are on the ballot. And the demon crat party, the Democrat Party, if you will, represents the godless side. And the Republican Party, because of their platform, represent the godly side. Now, that's just the way it is. Look, that might be different in 10 years, 15 years, 5 years, I don't know. It might be different next year. I don't know. But that's the way it is right now.
Living in Reality: Facing Truth Over Denial and the Importance of Christian Conviction
And you and I can't live in denial of reality. We've got to live with reality as it stands. Let me just say one more thing, and I'm done. I don't know how many Christians listening to me or watching me right now are Americans of African ancestry, as am I. But I want to leave you with this. You allow yourself to get caught up in trying to meet some kind of racial conformance and solidarity that, you may find yourself in a situation where you are shaking hands with the devil and spitting in the face of God because you had put something else in front of your loyalty to the Lord Jesus Christ. You're going to vote for people who mutilate children. You're going to vote for people who kill unborn babies. You're going to vote for people who don't respect the sovereignty of our country and its right to borders. You're going to vote for people who believe that homosexuals can get married. You're going to vote for these people and then tell you tell God how you love him and you're going to serve him and worship him. You're kidding yourself. If you're truly a Christian, you better repent and stop right now. Right now. Don't wait. Stop right now. I am no longer going to conform to some kind of racial pedigree. I am going to vote my Christian conscience based upon what the word of God teaches. And every Christian ought to take this attitude. I'm going to vote for those people who m most closely approximate the values that I hold dear as a disciple and follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. And I'm going to vote against those people who do not. Whose policies and ideas and principles are in rebellion against God. I will not vote for those people. I'm not voting for a Muslim. I'm not voting for an atheist. I'm not voting for a Hindu. I'm not voting for Buddhist. I'm not voting for any of these godless people who believe in a bunch of godless, idolatrous stuff. Because I don't want those people in charge of my country. Because I'm bringing a curse on my country when I support those people. Now, folks, that's just the way it is. We're so busy trying not to offend somebody based on political party or race that we end up offending God. Well, look, we're down to the wire. If you, are seeing this on the day that it's posted, which would be Wednesday, October 21st, we are exactly 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. What is it? Oh, wow. That's right. That's right. We are exactly 13 days. 13 days from election day.
Sowing Righteousness: A Call to Pray, Vote, and Stand Firm for God and Country
Sow a seed for righteousness and let's reap a harvest of, righteousness for our country. God bless each and every one of you. I love you. I'm praying for you. I'm praying for America. I hope you are, too. So in the meantime, you know what to do. Stand up, step up, speak up, refuse to back up because we cannot be defeated if we will not quit it because we are on God's side. God bless.
Introduction and Welcome: Bishop E.W. Jackson on American Family Radio
Bishop EW Jackson Welcome to another edition of the Awakening podcast. I'm Your host, Bishop E.W. jackson, here on American Family Radio. Great to be with you again today. Thank you, as always, for your support, for your prayers, for your contributions to the network. We couldn't do what we do without your help, without your support, so God bless you for it.
Framing the Election: A Battle Between Good and Evil, Not Just Politics
And we are working together to save our country. And we are unrelenting in that quest. And we're going to win. There's no question about it. We are going to win. Well, look, today I want to talk to you about this upcoming election, and I want to approach it from a slightly different perspective, because I know we're talking a lot about it, but, God has given me different angles at which and by which to look at this, and I hope by which you will be helped in talking to other people who may not understand the gravity of this election or people who may not understand the gravity of, frankly, the battle that we are in for the soul of this country. And that's what I want to talk about today. Because if you reduce this election to merely a battle between Republican and Democrat, while the Democrats going to control the Congress or the, the Republicans are going to control the Congress, I think you're completely missing the boat. It's about much, much, much more than that, or even about the ideological polls. You know, this is between the right and the left, or, between conservatives and liberals. I, think that that's still much too superficial. I think it goes far deeper than that. And let me just say right off the bat, I believe this election coming up is one of the most serious contests we've had between good and evil, between, frankly, the forces and servants and children of God and the children of the devil. I mean, I think it boils down to that fundamental and that stark a choice. You know, the Bible calls the children of devil the sons of perdition. Otherwise, people who, not because we want them to, or because God wants them to, but because the choices they've made, they bound themselves to hell. Now, I've used the scripture before, Psalm 9, 17. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Now, why the wicked turned into hell? And why nation? Why are nations that forget God turning to hell? Because they are Bound to the devil and hell is all bound up in him. Because stealing, killing, destroying, chaos and anarchy, pain, anguish, harm, everything negative is what he represents. And sadly, it's what the Demon Crat party has come to represent. Everything negative. The Democrat party has come to represent, absolute unqualified rebellion against the laws of nature and nature's God. As the founding fathers put it, everything God's for, they're against. Everything God's against, therefore. So we can't allow people to dismiss this as well, you know, I mean, I think that's why so many people make the mistake. Well, the Republicans are in control of the White House and they've had control of the Congress. I think it's time we gave it to the other party now just to balance things out. Oh, my goodness. Oh, I, mean, that's like saying, well, you know, I've been healthy for quite a while. I think it's time I get sick. Just kind of balance things out. No, you want to stay healthy, you want to get healthier and healthier and healthier. You don't want to get sick because you think that's going to help balance out your sense of well being. I mean, that would be insane. And yet so many people seem to think about politics that way. Oh, well, that group's in charge and we've had some things go wrong. So now we're going to put this other group in charge and see what they do. Or we're going to balance it out so that they can. They have to fight each other. Folks, that is the wrong approach. They said the independence are leaning blue, so sometimes they lean red, sometimes they lean blue because apparently they don't have a set of convictions that drive them, that motivate them, that anchor them. And so they just look at the circumstances and blow whichever way they think the circumstances are blowing them. We as Christians don't do that. We are anchored in rock solid, unswerving convictions, truth. And therefore we don't move and the circumstances do not move us. Our faith in God, our commitment to His Word is what moves us. So if the election is not ultimately about that, we always say it's not ultimately a political battle, it is a spiritual battle. So there's a number of choices that, that we are making, which is why we can't kind of bounce back and forth depending. Well, they did. This group's in charge now. We're going to vote for that group because we're going to make them balance it out. Folks, I say that's insane. It's suicidal. Because this is a question now, part of the question that we are confronting now, given what we know the Democratic Socialists of America support, and given what we've heard the Democrat Party talk about expanding the Supreme Court, doing away with the Electoral College, we are now looking at a situation where we're choosing whether we're going to uphold our constitutional republic or, we're going to descend into a socialist tyranny. I know with you all, I don't have to explain these things in detail because you know them, but this is just worth reiterating. The Founding Fathers didn't establish the Electoral College in the Constitution of the United States, just kind of willy nilly just to do something that they thought would be interesting and fun. They did it because they understood that in a country where you have a diverse and different, group of states in different regions with different size populations, with different demographics, you don't want the larger states gobbling up the smaller states or at least trampling the smaller states because they have so much more power because of their larger populations or their larger land mass or whatever it is. And so they created a system, A, bicameral legislature, part of which is determined by population. The other part is determined the upper chamber, the Senate, determined by, by states. Every state has two senators. No matter how big the state is, no matter how small the state is, it has two senators. And the Electoral College was meant to balance out the disparity in power between those states that would have gigantic populations, as for example, California. 39 million people in California, and that's with some reduction in their population. And I think Texas, if I'm not mistaken, 28, 29 million people in Texas. Well, one's conservative, one's liberal. But the Founding Fathers at the time, by the way, that they wrote the Constitution, the largest state was my home state. The largest state was Virginia. Yet Virginia with, oh my goodness, what were the numbers, If I am not mistaken, at the time Virginia had. Oh, you know what, folks, I'm not going to go for memory, but I'm multiple times more than smaller states, we'll put it that way. Multiple times more than smaller states. Okay, Compared, to Rhode Island, Virginia was a gargantuan. But the Founding Fathers wisely realized they didn't want Virginia gobbling up, say, for example in Rhode island, which was a much smaller state, or just basically trampling Rhode island or basically saying Rhode island, you are, irrelevant. They established the Electoral College so that states felt that they had some stake in the game. And so the candidates knew that they had to appeal across the board. They couldn't ignore the smaller states simply because they had small populations, because the electoral college system balanced that out, that larger states still have more electoral college votes. But the disparity is not as great as it would be without the electoral college. But the Democrats want to throw all that out, which would really think about it. California, NewSong York, two of the most populous states in the country would have a disproportionate amount of power. But that's what they want because they feel like the urban centers has the largest populations. We'll get all the urban centers and, and we can control the country. That's really what they're thinking. You add in the illegal aliens and we've got full control, carte blanche to do whatever we want to do. You get rid of the Constitution, you get rid of all these so called checks and balances and basically it's pre sailing. We can basically with a majority vote do pretty much anything we want to do. That's where they want to take it folks. There's a name for that. It's not democracy. The founding fathers didn't want us to become a democracy because they knew democracies have a tendency to degenerate into mob rule. So the democracy becomes a tyranny. And this proposal doing away with the Supreme Court, doing away with the presidency. What they're really trying to do is do away with the checks and balances that were built into the Constitution to make sure that no one entity had absolute power. What the socialists are proposing is exactly the opposite. They want one entity to have absolute power, folks. And when that happens, just kiss freedom goodbye. Just kiss it goodbye. And that's exactly what they're trying to do. That's what they're trying to effectuate. I've told you, they want a one party state. They want singular hegemony, control so that they can have the thing that they covet most, absolute power. I mean that's on the ballot folks. That's what we're voting about. Not just is this Republican going to win over this Democrat. Of course that's how this plays out. But that's really the surface view. Underneath is something much more profound. I mean we're going to be voting on whether we're going to maintain, strengthen, rebuild the traditional family or discard it. The Democrats want to discard it. I mean that, that case, Lindsey Clancy and the way those leftists in Massachusetts voted because they simply do not believe in the sacredness of family the way you And I do. They do not believe that children are a, ah, gift from God the way you and I do. They wanted to make Lindsay Clancy the victim when she'd murdered three children because they simply don't put the same value on family that you and I do. If we allow them to be in charge, they will eventually basically destroy the family because that's what they've done in the inner cities across the country. They've done that already pretty much. It can be rebuilt, but you better believe they'll never do it because they don't want it. They want people dependent upon the state. Traditional families don't tend to be dependent. They want to control people's children. When daddies are in the home, that becomes very hard to do because fathers are more authoritative and are more willing to take a stand and say, no, this is what I want for my child. This is what's going to happen. This is what's not going to happen. You got these young girls that barely grown themselves trying to raise children and the state just has a field day. The Communist party from the very beginning wanted to destroy the family. That was part of Karl Marx's theory of what had to happen in order to have this wonderful utopian communist state that everybody wants to, that, that the communists want to create. That's on the ballot folks, even if there's no, I mean here in Virginia it's explicitly on the ballot because they're trying to put on the, put into the Virginia constitution that marriage between two men or two women is a, is a constitutional right in Virginia. And every time they pass these stupid godless, just sinful, depraved, abominable laws that they undermined the vitality of the family as God ordained it. Now when they first started this mess, and I would say that, you know, I'd got a lot of pushback. Oh no, this has nothing to do with that. That's not going to in any way affect the family. Let me ask you something. If ah, we went out and printed right now a ah, trillion dollars in counterfeit money, do you think that would have an impact on, on the real thing? You better believe it would because you know what it would do? It would diminish its value. Wouldn't, would diminish its value. All these counterfeits of what the family is supposed to do, supposed to be, do nothing but diminish the authentic, the real, what God created. Because it paints a picture for people that well, kind of the family can kind of be anything and it can't it is what God intended it to be. That's what the true family is. Now realize there are legitimate situations, ah, of widow widows and widowers in situations where women are being abused, or sometimes even men, but somebody's being abused, they can't stay in that situation because it's not safe for them, not safe for the children. And they are forced into a circumstance where they've got to live apart from the other spouse. And maybe ultimately that ends in divorce. And I understand that, and I'm not condemning people who go through those kinds of situations and have those kinds of experiences. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about government policy that incentivizes baby mamahood. Men making a bunch of babies that they don't take care of and women having a bunch of babies that they expect the state to take care of. And marrying two men and call, I mean, taking two men through some witchcraft ritual and calling that a marriage, because it's not. It's witchcraft. I don't care if you got somebody with the most glowing robe that they could find. They put that thing on and they stand before two homosexuals and perform some sort of, stupid ceremony and call that a marriage is not a marriage. It never was, never can, never will be. But every time you do that, every time they do that, they denigrate the real thing. They devalue the real thing. That's on the ballot, folks, whether it's an explicit referendum like it is here in Virginia or not. It is on the ballot because the Democrats do not, like, appreciate, value family as God ordained it. Do we protect the innocence of our children or do we allow these evil forces to sexualize kids at an early age? Oh, you belong, you belong in a girl's body. You're in the wrong body. You belong in a boy's body. You're in the wrong body. We'll give you hormones to stop your puberty. We're going to prepare you for surgery because you were really meant to be a girl. You were really meant. I mean, oh, my folks, I mean, my blood boils even just to say that, because it's just, it's evil. It's just evil.
The Escalating Threat: Child Abuse and Grooming by Those Who Undermine Parental Authority
That's what I mean when I say Republican versus Democrat. That is just the tip of the iceberg that's just barely scratching the surface of what's at stake here, messing with children like that. And the thing is, I really believe this, that, that normal adults wired the way God intended, have a, visceral, deep guttural reaction against the abuse of children because we know they're innocent and they can't defend themselves. Here's some adult wants to step between a child and their parent. Parent who loves the child, trying to take care of the child, teach the child, feed the child, clothe the child, keep the child safe in a safe, secure environment where the child can grow up and mature and develop into, an independent adult. And some teacher or some stupid school administrator wants to step in between that and say, well, Johnny, we're going to help you become Jane. But don't tell your mother, don't tell your father, because they wouldn't understand. As far as I'm concerned, people who do that ought, to be locked up. Ought to be locked up for child abuse. Because to me, that's what that is. That's grooming. And no normal person would ever want to do that. I may have said it on this program, but I know I've said it somewhere. I have two beautiful grandchildren. Beautiful grandchildren. And I've got a granddaughter. And the last time I was visiting with them, I was. I had to make a run, to the supermarket. And I told my granddaughter, I said, you want to go to supermarket? She said, yes, I want to go to supermarket with your granddaddy. I said, well, let's ask your mother if that's okay, because I want to teach her that I recognize the authority of her parents and I'm her grandfather, but I want her to know your. Your parents get to call the shots, and we're not doing anything without their permission. And you got school teachers and administrators who think they can step in between path. I mean, what is wrong with these people? Well, we know what's wrong with them. The devil is what's wrong with them. do we allow men to go into the private spaces of our wives, our daughters, our granddaughters? And look, folks, forgive me, because I don't. I'm not trying to be. I don't want to be inappropriate here, but I do want to be as straightforward as I can be because I think people need to understand the gravity of this situation. You know, don't you? The data is clear. I think somewhere around 94% of men. It's. It's a very high number. I'm going from memory. I didn't check the exact number based on studies before, but you can look it up yourself. But it's a very high percentage of men who come into gender dysphoria and think they're women. Okay, so they're come they come into gender dysphoria, they think they're women, but, but overwhelmingly they remain sexually attracted to women. They want to dress up like a woman, they want to wear makeup like a woman, they want to put on a woman's wig, they want to wear women's dresses, but they want to be intimate with a woman in the old fashioned way. Now don't ask me how that works because all this stuff is just, it's confusion. This is why when they put men in the women's prison because the men claimed they were women, they found out that these so called, these men who claimed to somehow be women started raping the women in the female prison.
Invasion of Private Spaces: The Outrage of Men in Girls' Locker Rooms and Showers
So when we're sending guys into the girl's locker room and into the girl's sh. Shower, let alone playing on their sports teams, which is a, that's, that's another aspect of this obviously, but this part is just as important. You send men into those very private spaces and there have been m. There's been more than one testimony that girls have witnessed these so called. These guys who claim to be women have witnessed them become aroused in the shower because they're looking at women and they're still sexually attracted to them and they become aroused with these women in the shower. Now what you know folks, that is sexual assault. That'd be against the law. That to me is doing nothing but giving a ah, deviant an opportunity to expose himself. That's all it boils down to. You got these stupid sports officials and teachers and administrators running around telling us that those who oppose this somehow we're the bad people. Something's wrong with that. We, we're bad. We. And the girls who become embarrassed and feel assaulted and feel put upon and have. Are forced into these situations and then complain and they treat the girls like they've done something wrong. I mean, yeah, folks, you can tell. I mean this stuff, this stuff makes me angry. Bible says be angry and sin not. I, I believe I'm, I don't believe I'm sinning because it ought to make. This stuff ought to make any human being angry. It certainly ought to make any man angry. Because you think about some man going into the, the shower with your wife, your daughter, your granddaughter. Cuz he claims he's supposed, he's supposed to be and he's in there aroused. I tell you, folks, I'm a Christian, I love the Lord and I have no interest in hurting anybody. And I mean that with all my heart. But I tell you what, that kind of stuff is enough to make you want to fight. Can I just be honest with you? Really, folks. Imagine, walking into a situation like that and you find a man and oh my goodness, Lord help us here. I mean, Jesus beat the, the money changes out of the temple. I wonder, could I extrapolate from there and whoop some man out of the shower?
The Ultimate Ballot Issue: Abortion as Sacrifice and the Killing of Our Nation's Future
Listen, I, I think that, I think that interpretation might work because it's just, it is just utterly ridiculous. And yet, folks, that's what's on the ballot. When you come right down to it, that is what is on the ballot. And of course, look, I haven't even yet gotten to the ultimate. And let me bring that up now. It is always on the ballot because liberals now worship at the altar of the blood of innocent babies. They sacrifice the innocent, the blood of unborn babies. They sacrifice those babies on the altar of selfishness and Satan. Now, we just might as well say it for what it is, because that's exactly what it is. This is satanic. And you all know the satanic temple established an abortion clinic and said called it one of their rights. Abortion, right R I T E one of their rituals to kill an unborn baby. Because they can get away with that easily. They might want to kill a young child, but they can't really get away with that. You go to jail for murder, but they can kill his unborn baby and somehow, excuse me, but somehow that gets, that can get overlooked. So they take full advantage of it. Are, we going to be a society that kills our progeny, that kills the future of this country before they take their first breath? Or are we going to be a society, as our founding fathers set forth, that protects life so that there can be liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Those children deserve that, don't you think? They deserve life. They deserve liberty and they deserve the right. When the time comes and they come of age, they deserve the right to pursue happiness as they understand it. Our founding fathers, by the way, were talking about virtue. They weren't talking about a life of license and sin and hedonism. When they talked about the pursuit of happiness, they were talking about pursuing virtue. See, because they understood that a, free people must be a virtuous people or freedom will descend into tyranny. Because if they are licentious, if they are hedonistic, if they are philistines, someone else will have to restrain them. But the first principle of self government is governing one's self. And the founding fathers understood that. Doesn't an unborn baby, which you once were which I once was, which all of us once were, have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You better believe they do. I don't care if a thousand politicians, I don't care if a million politicians. I don't care if 10, thousands of thousands Supreme Court justices say no, they don't, and we can kill them if we want to. They're wrong. Every single one of them is wrong. Planned Parenthood is nothing but a glorified death cult. That's all it is. And that's all the abortion industry is. It's a glorified death cult. And it's on the ballot whether there's a referendum on the ballot or not. Whether there's. It's on the ballot because demon crats are devoted to killing unborn babies. That is their race and d'. Etre. That is their stock in trade. That is their highest sacrifice to their pagan God. This is why I say, folks, the Democrat party has become a demonic culture. And that's why they must be voted out of office. They must be. We cannot give them control of the Congress. We cannot give them control of the House, we cannot give them control of the Senate, and we cannot give them control of the presidency ever again. Ever again. We can't. We cannot give it to them because they're too dangerous in those roles. And since, unlike, them, we're not willing to lie, cheat, steal, or kill to stop people from doing things that we think are wrong, we have got to pray and vote and engage and be active in order to stop them from being able to carry out their wicked plans. Now, you know, Jesus said in Matthew 24:21, for there will be great tribulation. Trouble. Word tribulation means great trouble. Such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time. No, nor ever shall be. And, you know, I'm not saying we're in the great tribulation right now, but I will say this. We're seeing trouble. Unlike, anything the world's ever seen before. Do you think there was ever a time in the world before where adults were telling children they were born in the wrong body? And taking a knife and cutting that child's body, mutilating that child's body in a way from which that child can never, ever recover or go back from? You think there was ever a time like that? No. Couldn't have been. Couldn't have been. I mean, men have been castrated in the past, but that wasn't to try to change them. That was try to make them More docile, make them more trustworthy, make them less masculine, if you will. Wicked, evil. It was bad. And I'm not in any way justifying that. But that's not like what's happening today where you're actually convincing people that somehow their lives are going to be made better because you're going to turn them into something they weren't born and can never become. I mean, maybe in the days of Molech and Ashtarah, when people were sacrificing their children explicitly to pagan gods, burning them alive, on the fires of Molech, maybe people went around and bragged about the fact that they'd kill their own child, burn their own child alive. Maybe they did. We don't, we don't have the record of that. We know they did it. But we are living in a time now where large groups of people are gathering together, celebrating the fact that they killed their own progeny, celebrating it like they've done something heroic, like they've done something good, something virtuous. Woe to those who put evil for good and good for evil. And that's exactly what they're doing.
The Ballot's Scope: From Supreme Court Expansion to Psychotic Socialist Agendas
And folks, all of this is on the ballot. All of it is on the ballot. I mean, expanding the Supreme Court, single payer health care. Where has that ever worked? Nowhere. Ever. And with these, so called democratic demon crat socialists, abolishing the US Senate, abolishing the presidency, abolishing the Supreme Court, abolishing ice, abolishing police departments, abolishing prisons. I mean folks, this stuff is psychotic. It really, it borders on the insane. But then, a true cult really is insane. I mean morally at least, and spiritually they're insane. Ending aid to Israel, declaring Israel an apartheid nation. You know, I remember because I was in school at the time I was alive, during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Didn't fully understand it, but I knew it was a serious situation. Jon F. Kennedy, and I dare say his entire family were virulently anti communist. I mean they were vehement anti communists. They understood the evils of communism. They hated it and they wanted to defeat it in the worst way. I mean, say what you will about the Vietnam War, but that's what got us into the Vietnam War. It wasn't some kind of racist thing of we're going to go control these Asians. We were fighting for the Asians in South Vietnam. People just twist this stuff up and just come to all kinds of stupid conclusions that have nothing to do with the historical facts. We were trying to stop the march of Communism. JFK got us into that, but that was his motivation because he realized communism is an evil ideology and it must be stopped. It must be checkmated. Well, the Democrat Party is far from being an anti communist party. In fact, now it's the party of Karl Marx. Democrats have more admiration for Karl Marx. Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara. Ah, remember Hugo Chavez? You had Hollywood people going down there to Venezuela, you know, to bow at the feet of Hugo Chavez and kiss his feet. And he's proclaiming socialism as the answer. And look at where Venezuela is now. It never works, but somehow they want to convince us that when they do it, oh, they're going to do it the right way. Well, that's been the mantra of every would be dictator and tyrant. Every little communist imp m telling us about the utopia they're going to bring us if we just trust them. Folks, all this is on the ballot. So, yeah, know that candidate, Republican, the more likely candidate who reflects your values, Democrat. Know who they are, know what they stand for, but understand all these things I just laid out for you and more are on the ballot. And the demon crat party, the Democrat Party, if you will, represents the godless side. And the Republican Party, because of their platform, represent the godly side. Now, that's just the way it is. Look, that might be different in 10 years, 15 years, 5 years, I don't know. It might be different next year. I don't know. But that's the way it is right now.
Living in Reality: Facing Truth Over Denial and the Importance of Christian Conviction
And you and I can't live in denial of reality. We've got to live with reality as it stands. Let me just say one more thing, and I'm done. I don't know how many Christians listening to me or watching me right now are Americans of African ancestry, as am I. But I want to leave you with this. You allow yourself to get caught up in trying to meet some kind of racial conformance and solidarity that, you may find yourself in a situation where you are shaking hands with the devil and spitting in the face of God because you had put something else in front of your loyalty to the Lord Jesus Christ. You're going to vote for people who mutilate children. You're going to vote for people who kill unborn babies. You're going to vote for people who don't respect the sovereignty of our country and its right to borders. You're going to vote for people who believe that homosexuals can get married. You're going to vote for these people and then tell you tell God how you love him and you're going to serve him and worship him. You're kidding yourself. If you're truly a Christian, you better repent and stop right now. Right now. Don't wait. Stop right now. I am no longer going to conform to some kind of racial pedigree. I am going to vote my Christian conscience based upon what the word of God teaches. And every Christian ought to take this attitude. I'm going to vote for those people who m most closely approximate the values that I hold dear as a disciple and follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. And I'm going to vote against those people who do not. Whose policies and ideas and principles are in rebellion against God. I will not vote for those people. I'm not voting for a Muslim. I'm not voting for an atheist. I'm not voting for a Hindu. I'm not voting for Buddhist. I'm not voting for any of these godless people who believe in a bunch of godless, idolatrous stuff. Because I don't want those people in charge of my country. Because I'm bringing a curse on my country when I support those people. Now, folks, that's just the way it is. We're so busy trying not to offend somebody based on political party or race that we end up offending God. Well, look, we're down to the wire. If you, are seeing this on the day that it's posted, which would be Wednesday, October 21st, we are exactly 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. What is it? Oh, wow. That's right. That's right. We are exactly 13 days. 13 days from election day.
