0:00 I learned the demonic kingdom. I learned the methods. I learned the strategies. I learned the entrapment of the demonic kingdom because I was equipped to put this on people's lives, Christians and non-Christians alike. Brother, I gotta ask you first and foremost, what is the Devil's Playbook? The Devil's Playbook is the methods of the enemy, the methods of the demonic kingdom, the footsteps of the demonic kingdom, the arsenals of the demonic kingdom, the attacks, the schemes, the wilds, the set-up, the delays of the demonic kingdom. Christians don't see it. Christians don't understand it. Christians don't know how to... Christians haven't been fully discipled in spiritual warfare. And this book has the ingredients to get you there.
0:45 So, this spiritual warfare, I mean, we totally believe that spiritual warfare is a very real thing and that we are engaged in spiritual warfare, whether we want to be or not. And we need to be battling that with the right tools, with the right weapons, so that we know that the weapons of our warfare are not natural, but they are spiritual. So, help us understand, how did you come to understand about the spiritual warfare and these weapons that we need to be wielding? Well, my life was, as you know, 25 years serving the Devil faithfully. I'm like the opposite of the Apostle Paul. Paul said he served the Lord flawlessly. He served the Lord 100%. He served the Lord and he prosecuted Christians. I served the Devil faithfully. There was no wrinkle. There was no mistakes, me serving the Devil the way I did.
1:39 I did it wholeheartedly to serve the Devil. I learned the demonic kingdom. I learned the methods. I learned the strategies. I learned the entrapment of the demonic kingdom, because I was equipped to put this on people's lives. Christians and non-Christians alike. So you weren't just somebody dabbling with the occult or witchcraft. You were deep and heavy involved in that. I was the occult. I was the occult. It's like today, we have, like I say today, we have the One World Order. We have Illuminati. People say you got Jay-Z and you got Beyonce and I'm just going to call it the way it is, right? You got like Mark Anthony, Jennifer Lopez, P. Diddy, or we Illuminati. No, you're not. You're dabbling.
2:26 You puppets on a stage that you can't see. The Illuminati are the Rothschilds. The Illuminati are the Rockefellers. You'll never reach that kind of money. You'll never reach that kind of status. They're using you for what they're doing. They're using you to bring the demonic to the forefront. But you're a pawn in the chess game. You're not the king. You're not the queen. You're not the bishop. You're just a pawn. Yes, they let you say what you want to say to a certain extent. Yes, they let you talk the way you want to talk. Yes, they let you advertise their logo, but you don't own the logo. They own the logo. And this is in the demonic kingdom. I didn't dabble. I was in that kingdom that I own part of the logo of what the demonic kingdom was about. So today I'm able to come and train my brothers and sisters and equip my brother system, not out of something of a fairy tale or something out of, you know, I think this is the way it works. No, I know the way it works.
3:27 Yeah. So you just mentioned some celebrities there that, you know, if you see their concerts or their, let's see their halftime shows, there's a lot of demonic imagery that that happens in those concerts. And it's always interesting to see people kind of write that off as, oh, that's just pretend or that's just play or that's just them being artistic and edgy. But I know you say that there is doorways and things that we open up, whether we realize it or not. Let's talk about some of those things that actually give the devil access and specifically about these halftime shows.
4:08 Christians or to Christians? So you're talking about non-believers. Either or. Well non-believers are a bunch of idiots. I mean, bottom line, bunch of idiots. You're playing into a stage that the script is not yours. You're acting, you're an actor on a stage that doesn't belong to you. You know, in Jesus, us Christians, we are part of a kingdom, right? We hold shares, part of a kingdom that we do in the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. That's us. We are going somewhere. We have a future. Where are we going? Eternity, heaven, paradise, a place that people don't cry. We don't say goodbye. People don't get sick. People don't die. We're going somewhere awesome. These people that they bought at a cheap price, right?
4:55 Because you can't sell your soul to the devil, by the way. You can sell your allegiance, your time, and your devotion. That's what you sell. You can't sell the deed of your soul because the deed of your soul, Jesus owns it. He owns your car. You see? So you can't sell that. But these luminaries and the Freemasons and these occult practices, whatever practices they are, like the one I was in, they give you the illusion that you can sell something that doesn't belong to you. And then they make you part of something that you feel that you belong to. But it is a fantasy. It is the reality of it. It's a false reality. Let's put it this way.
5:37 So when they put you on stage on the Grammys or halftime football game, you're just an idiot up there doing someone else's dirty work. And I say the truth because bottom line, I was an idiot for 25 years of my life. I was doing the devil's work and trying to make him happy and trying to please him and trying to fulfill something that had a dead end to it. So today, Christians, we open doors in our lives because we enter eye gate, ear gate, mouth gate, mind, heart. These are portals and gateways that the devil understands that if I can get in one of those doors, I have access of your life.
6:19 And this is so key about the devil's playbook. It is teaching you, equipping you, it's discipling you to be the vessel of honor that the Lord Jesus Christ could. Yes, it's fine. You're going to have dents on your armor. It's like past. I was yesterday, I went to Times Square Church and I just said, it's one thing that I haven't been in three and a half years. I'm watching online. And I went yesterday. And the first thing they were talking about spiritual warfare, you know, and he made a great analogy about football. And he said he pre-taped the games because he's preaching. He's out and about. But he knows his team won. Yes, they take dents. Yes, they take hits. Yes, they fumble the ball. Yes, they throw the ball. But in the end of the game, they win.
7:00 You see, so Christians, yes, your arm is going to take some dent. It's going to take some hit, but you're going to win. But you keep the doors closed. So, John, let's talk about the way that some of these doorways get opened. You said about the eye gate, the ear gate, the mouth gate, the mind. There's a lot of different gates that we as Christians unintentionally allow to be opened. This time of year, we're in October as we're recording this. And so Halloween is a big thing. So there's all kinds of imagery all over the place. But I don't even phase on Halloween. I already know it's evil. Halloween is like the big attack, right? People say, well, like we got churches today, right? They like Dumb and Dumber, right?
7:44 They celebrate Halloween, but they put a different name on it. And they put a chunk of tree. They'll put a name like Harvest Fest. What Harvest Fest are we talking about? Because the Bible, I don't see that in the Bible. I'm talking about that the harvest is plenty. The harvest is ready. Sows, you know, but the work is a few. I see that. But harvest, candy and costumes and dress up. I don't see that in the Bible. I don't see. So we're opening doors right there, right? We're practicing things that are unbiblical, right? And then we want to dress it up, right? To make it seem innocent and make it seem golly. Form of godliness, but you're denying the power that Jesus Christ doesn't agree with those practices.
8:27 It's like me taking the devil. I used to see the devil in person, right? He'd come in different ways, right? In different facet, different forms, different attitudes. He'll come in different characteristics. When I used to meet him when I was in BC before Christ, but he's still the same devil. I mean, I can dress up in green. I look like a leprechaun today, right? But then I can wear blue, look like a smurf, but I'm still John. And people attempt to not see that. And we open doors and generational curses are increased and sickness and increase in our family. And a bloodline, demonic curses are there. The devil said, well, now he tells heaven, I got rights. You can't stop me.
9:07 They open the door. And the Bible says if you don't come to repentance and renunciation, those rights are still going to be there. And that's when Christians suffer the consequences of the spiritual actions. And they later on, they want to blame the church. They want to blame the pastor. They want to blame God, but they don't point the finger to themselves. How did I get here? Yeah. So how do people get there? What are some of these ways that people open up these doors? You know, one thing I, right here, right here, this is, this is, this is the blueprint of how the methods of the devil are exposing the devil. This is what Christians say. I'm being attacked by Jezebel. I'm being attacked by a python spirit. It's too late.
9:47 The footsteps on the hallway. You miss the footsteps on the hallway. You miss the spiritual footsteps of that devil that was walking down the hallway before the door was opened into your season, your life, your purpose and your destiny. If I'm being attacked by some demonic force, I really, I miss the footsteps. I miss the way it operates. In my life as myself, with things, spiritual things, I feel the, I feel the atmosphere has changed. I feel things are not right. I feel it's checking my spirit before the attack come, before the storm shows up, before the hurricane shows up in Florida or North Carolina, which we pray for those wonderful people.
10:27 Before it show up, you feel the winds, the waves of silence change. Those are the footsteps before the hurricane shows up. So in the spirit realm, Christians don't see it because they're not trained, they're not equipped to have the sermon. You can have the sermon, but if you don't know the footsteps, if you don't know the methods of the enemy, your sermon ain't going to do nothing for you. Understand? David was a king. David was a warrior. Before he was a king, David was a killer. David was poetic. He could play music. I mean, David was a renaissance. But his biggest enemy was standing on his right side, on his blind spot. So, he didn't see it. You see? So, what's standing on your blind spot? What footsteps? And exposing the devil's playbook is going to teach you the method, the footsteps of the enemy before he shows up at your door, before he shows up in your marriage, before he shows up in your house.
11:17 Church, ministry, purpose, destiny. You see the footsteps. If you can see the footsteps, you could be on the offense before you could be on the offense. You don't have to be in the defense all the time. And then this is the famous words of every Christian, I'm waiting on God. I'm waiting on God. Yeah, I'm not waiting on God. God will always do his part. God's telling me what you do yours. Yeah. God said, I will always do my part, John, but I will never do yours. You got to do your part. We're in partnership. Two hands clapping. We're in covenant with the kingdom. The kingdom suffers violence. The violence is taken back by force. We're in covenant. A Christian has been a disciple to say, God paid everything on the cross.
11:57 He paid for all your sins on the cross, past, present, and future, but you still have to fight. And the closer you want to get to the Lord, the more the bigger the fight. But if you want to be a lukewarm Christian, you want to be one of them Sunday Christians, a Christian Dior, you want to be a Christian Dior Christian, then the devil, don't worry about the devil. Don't worry about if you're going to make heaven or not. Because the truth be told, God is not part of my life. God is my whole life. Yeah. So what are some of these footsteps in people's lives that they don't even realize? And let's talk about how to pivot that and turn into the, and go into the offensive as quickly as possible.
12:38 Well, really quick. I mean, one of the first step I write in one of the chapters of faith in dark times, that's one of the chapters in the book. And I give the analogy of Michael Phelps. Michael Phelps won 28 medals, 23 gold. And before he got to the gold medal part, before he got to the Olympic, his coach was training him to swim in the pool in different aspects, in different conditions, in different opportunities to swim in the pool. Sometimes the coach would turn off the whole lights and let him swim in the dark. Sometimes the coach would put holes in his goggles. So his water would go into his goggles and swim back and forth to understand the pool, to know how to swim in the pool, to know how many laps it takes, how many strokes it takes, how many times it takes to flip on the wall and come back.
13:20 In Beijing, he threw himself in the water and the goggles got filled with water. But the training kicked in. And then when he took off the goggles, he heard the people cheering. And he would say, he was cheering for the next track because he couldn't see a thing. When he took off the goggles, he broke the world record. Why? Because he knew how to swim in the dark. He was trained to swim in the dark. And exposing the devil's playbook is teaching you how to swim in the dark. You don't have to see what's going on. You've got to trust God, swim in the dark, know the methods of the enemy, know how to apply your spiritual weapons against those things. So you can kill, still destroy whatever the devil has on you. Instead of using that word on you, use it on him from afar. That's why you have to be a spiritual sniper. They ain't going to shoot you from close.
14:01 I'm going to shoot you from 50 yards before you show up to my house. You know, I don't need you to show up to my house. And I don't know if you overeat. You know, take care of spiritual business before it shows up at your doorstep. And that's what the book is about. The ingredients of this book. I mean, the book right now, I think is best ranked seller. It's like 2,800. They already got close to 30 reviews in two weeks. It's touching people's lives. Five stars. And people being touched, people are saying, my God, I've never seen this before. Oh, man, now I understand it. Now I can walk in it. Now I can live in it. And I can finish in it. I can finish in it. I'm victorious as a believer in Jesus Christ. Yeah. You know, I never knew that story about Michael Phelps. And that is so powerful to be training yourselves for the worst case scenarios if things go wrong.
14:50 But how to take that situation and turn it around so that it doesn't stop you from doing what God's called you to do. And I know that there's a lot of deception out there right now. And people that are calling good evil and evil good. And you read a whole chapter about the woke church. And I'd like to hear your take on that and what is going on in our culture right now. The woke church. I mean, look at the practices. Look at the satanic practices in the church. Look at the profane practice in the church. No fear of God anymore. They lost the fear of God. You lose the fear of God. You don't do anything. You don't have a God. You don't have a thermometer of direction.
15:33 How to live holy. Look at the practices. Look at the churches today doing trick or treat, practicing these demonic holidays. Look, when I was a devil worshiper, you would have never, even if you paid me a million dollars, he tried to give me a million dollars, come to church on Good Friday. No way. What would a devil worshiper have to do with Good Friday? I hated Good Friday. You know, I didn't want no Good Friday in my life. I don't care about Good Friday. I don't care about no cross. I don't care about no crucifixion. That didn't mean nothing to me. It means the world to me now. It means my life to me now. But back then, you ain't catch no devil worshiper saying, oh, I'm here on Good Friday. I can't wait till the service starts. No way. Today, we invite the devil into the church, but we don't invite the Holy Spirit anymore.
16:17 You know, and the desecration of the church is just crazy. I mean, it is demonic. The woke church, we practice the things of the kingdom of darkness into our church, and suddenly the church influences the kingdom of darkness and getting people saved, baptized, delivered, conviction, salvation, the truth. That's the truth sets you free. No, but it is popularity. I want to be famous. You know, what happened to the church, the woke church, we love the things we do, but we don't know what we don't love who we do it for anymore. That's what I wrote in the book. We love it. We love the things we do because it brings attention to us, but we don't love. We don't love the person we do it for anymore, which is Jesus Christ. We don't do that anymore.
17:02 So the big issues that we have really come to, we don't love Jesus the way that we think we do. No, we don't. We lost our first love. I mean, one of the churches in Revelation, they lost their first love. And he said, we rich, we this, we that. You know, because you're rich and you got a private jet. I mean, you ain't never run with a private jet. And I'm wrong with you. You got a yacht. I'm wrong with those things. It's how you practice. It's what you do, which first in your life. I mean, a lot of people in the Bible was rich. Adam was rich. Adam was rich. Abraham was rich. David was rich. Solomon was rich. There's a lot of rich people in the Bible. You know, they weren't broke, but they love God. They want they want to God more than anything in their lives. They didn't flaunt their riches. They didn't put the riches before them. You know, you got these idiots today call themselves bishops and pastors and whatever.
17:54 You know, they flaunt stuff. I flaunt the cross. I flaunt the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul said, I'm dead to the world and I'm alive in Christ. And this is in the book, Exposing the Devil's Playbook. It teaches you how to live that life, the Christian, the values of Christian life. Because if you can live that life in the book and to the strategies, understanding the methods, the chessboard game of the enemy, how he moves, how he strategize, how he sets you up, how he try to conquer you, understanding those methods. Would you understand to the power, the anointing of the whole spirit, you have the authority. We're the only religion that has authority over the devil. Think about it. Christianity is the only religion that has authority. We own the devil. The devil owns every other religion.
18:44 Wow. So, John, you've had tremendous experience or not tremendous, but you've had a lot of experience for those 25 years being on the other side. And you've had a lot of experiences where you were face to face with the devil. Tell me about what that was like and how God rescued you from that. Well, you know, I mean, that was just, you know, I was a slave master. I was a slave to the enemy's camp for 25 years, lived in fear because you live in fear. But if you leave, the devil kills you. I mean, look at the life of P. Diddy today, right? The devil don't need him anymore. Look where he is at today. I pray for him. I'm, you know, everybody's sinned. Everybody falls short. In my agreement with the sin of P. Diddy and my agreement say he deserved what he got. I don't talk that way. You know why? Because we all deserve God's judgment.
19:38 But look, I pray for his soul to be saved. But look, the devil don't need him anymore. The devil is done with him. The contract that he had between the devil, it's over. There's no new contract. The devil got what he wanted. He won the game. He ain't gonna renew no contract with P. Diddy. He's done. He needs Jesus. He needs to be saved. He needs the Holy Spirit to go into the jail cell and introduce the gospel to him. That's all I have to say about that. But 25 years, died in 1999, went to hell, met Jesus, met the devil. Just paraphrase it. The Lord put me back into my body. I became a believer in 1999. I've been walking with the Lord for 24 years of my life. To trials, to relations, testings, trauma, witchcraft, to the highest point, witchcraft done to me still. But I'm still here because the greatest he that lives in me, the he that lives in the world. Because one of the things I wrote in one of the chapters in the book, I suppose in the devil, this is when the Christians crumble.
20:37 The greatest war, I said the greatest war, that chapter talks about, you talk about Exodus 7 and 8, how Moses show up, Amon show up, God shows up, Pharaoh's there, his two magicians, and the devil. They show up in this school-yacht fight. Just paraphrase it. School-yacht fight. You know, you got 80, 81 year old. You got God with them. You got Pharaoh. You got the two witches. They show up. Now they go back and forth. He dropped the staff, they do the same thing. Touches the water, they do the same thing. This is when the Christians go into the spiritual endurance kind of warfare. They see that God wins one round, the devil wins another. Christians crumble. Faith crumble. Unbelief kicks in. Doubt kicks in. Fear kicks in. The devil got you.
21:30 Because in the fourth round of the fight, God tells Moses, strike the dust of the earth. And then when he strikes it, it turns into gnats. How do you put a DNA in antennas and eyes on dirt? Only God can do that. And God showed up. God knows how to draw the line and let the devil go so far. But Christians fall in the middle of the battle and they get conquered. They become victim. They become incarcerated spiritually. And this book teaches you how not to be that victim, but to be victorious. When the law fight. Because people think, I pray, I fasted, I skipped McDonald's and I'm going to get my victory. I had no chicken McNuggets today. God's going to show up. What about if God said, I show up in six months and you're in that fight for six months.
22:18 Or you're in that fight for one year and you're praying and fasting and you don't hear nothing from heaven. What do you do? I teach you, I teach you, I expose the devil's label, how to stand and don't move from the place that God put you in. And you will have the victory. But don't let the devil push you back and lose your spot. Amen. Amen. Don't let the devil push you back and lose your spot. Stand for victory. Stand for victory. Stand, stand, stand. The other devil might push you, but he don't move you. The winds come, but you're still standing. The hurricane shows up, but your house, you might lose a little window, you might lose a little side panel, but you're still standing. The foundation of who you are in Christ is standing. And in the end, you will have the last laugh, not the devil.
23:05 Amen. Amen. I would encourage everybody to get a hold of the book, exposing the devil's playbook. It's really going to help you in your walk with the Lord in your fight with the devil so that you will be victorious. Now, John, I have a question for you. I recently just saw this post on Twitter on X. And it's a, it was a post from a witch, witches group on Reddit. Somebody took a screenshot and I'm just going to read part of this. So it says, some other witches have mentioned that doing spells directly against Trump are not as effective as we might hope, as he seems to have some kind of protection around him. A freezer spell against project 2025 would likely be useful, but I wouldn't give the Cheeto, referring to Donald Trump, any more attention right now.
23:59 He hates to be ignored, right? And then it says a lot of people are taking the opportunity to do protection and uplifting kinds of spells to help Kamala and the Democrats rather than attacking the other side. And then it actually gives a link for people to then go and and and try that directions for that. John, it says that there was you should click on that link and tell them to come on your show and not come on your show. I'd love to arrange that meeting, but I didn't have, I don't have the link there. One day. Yeah. But, you know, so this was from, you know, like 90 days ago that this was this of a couple months ago. And so a couple months ago, Donald Trump was actually, there was an assassination attempt of against his life in July.
24:47 But I find it very interesting that it says that he seems to have some kind of protection around him. Can you talk about the prayers of the Saints and the protection that that brings? Yeah, well, you know, I belong to a group called, I belong to a group is amazing. I'm not on it now. And when I get back in January, but I belong to a group is called Battle Cry. And people from all over the world is praying for Trump. We not pray for Trump because, you know, we worship man. We pray for him because God allow us to pray for him. And we pray for Kamala. We pray for the other people on the other side for salvation, healing and deliverance. Right. Because we I was ignorant for 25 years. Right. And God saved me. So they deserve salvation, too.
25:28 But the key of praying for Trump, I pray for Trump every other day because I understand I understand God's plan and purpose for the earth. And God one use God wants to use this man as a vessel honor to bring back the morality, to bring back truth, to bring back the Bible, to bring back the word of God, to bring to bring back the correction that needs to be corrected, to bring back grace, to bring peace to Israel. I love Israel. I stand with Israel. I pray for the people in Palestine. I pray for the Middle East. But I'm not into that whole Palestinian thing to be doing out there. And then why you and these other places that to me is trash.
26:08 And that I stand for Israel. I pray for the Israel. That's what the Bible says to do. So I'm doing that. So when I pray for Trump and we praying for Trump, we praying for a man that got ordained, got selected. How Christians hate him. How Christians love Kamala. When Kamala stand for abortion, homosexuality, God's going to hold you accountable for that. When they stand for anti-Christ. The other day I saw a video that someone said something about Jesus in one of the Kamala's rallies. She said, you're in the wrong rally. And you Christian, you stand for that. You're not Christian. You're Christian Dior. But you're not a Christian. Because Christians stand for the values or what the Bible stands for. I don't care if Ricky Martin wants to be president. I'm Puerto Rican and Ricky's Puerto Rican.
26:54 And Ricky's a good looking Puerto Rican. But he's homosexual. I won't stand with him. I won't vote for Ricky. I don't care if he just say he could be the first Puerto Rican president ever. Not on my watch. I love him as a person, but I'm not into his lifestyle. And I can say that because my brother was a transvestite. My brother was homosexual, bisexual, witch doctor and married to a regular woman. And my brother, a year before he died, he got saved. He got saved. Filled with the Holy Spirit. He got baptized. He became to the Lord. He went to church and he died in his sleep a week before his birthday. He's going to be 45 years old. He went home with the Lord. So I tell you the truth. I pray for Trump. I pray Psalms 91 over Trump. Psalms 91 protection. I pray it's 27. Psalms 27 over Trump. I pray Psalms 23. I pray Zechariah chapter 2, 5, a wall of fire. The same wall he put on Job. Put on Donald Trump.
27:48 In the name of Jesus. I will vote for Trump again. I will stand for the truth of Jesus Christ. And I will stand for the kingdom. That God, the kingdom of God will always reign here on the earth and in heaven. Just because it's legal here, it's not legal in heaven. And the last thing I say, the reason they can't touch Trump, because you can't penetrate the blood. Yeah. So it's not just President Trump that is covered by the blood, obviously. I mean, I know you've told me in the past that whenever you have had, you've astral projected and you couldn't go to certain areas because... Curse. I think that would happen only once in my life in 25 years. I couldn't curse that neighborhood of that region because there was Christians. Not only they were covered by the blood, but they didn't know how to pray spiritual warfare.
28:36 And they chased me out of the region in the spirit. And they chased me out. And there was never a witchcraft on that region because you have a believer that were armed and dangerous. They knew how to play and they knew spiritual warfare. And they knew how to put the devil in his place and keep him out of the region. I was frustrated. I was angry that night. And it happened a thing once or twice that I can remember. And I couldn't touch that neighborhood because there was Christians that knew how to stand on the wall and they were watchmen on the wall. Yeah. So if you want to frustrate the devil, frustrate Satanists, frustrate the darkness, you need to expose the devil's playbook and get the book exposing the devil. Amen. And for your life, for your purpose, your own destiny, for your own... I mean, the closer you get to God, the more the attacks gonna be. People think the closer to God, you're gonna live in a pizza and cream and ice cream sundae.
29:25 No, the closer I get to God, the more the attacks gonna come. But that don't mean nothing to me because who lives in me and no weapon formed against me is not proper. And if I call on him name, he would do great and mighty things. But I have to live a genuine life for the Lord. But I have to... I live by this book. I live by this. I live by here. I live here. My first number one book to me is the Bible, the Word. But this book here and there's other spiritual warfare books that God put out there that help equip the saints to fight the good fight. We have people in Charisma, Pagani, we have Isaiah, we got Catherine Crick there. These people have been equipped by God to teach. And they never lived in the kingdom of darkness. They never looked like I did.
30:07 But God had given them the revelation of spiritual warfare upon their life to fight, to teach the saints. Because in the end time, I tell you right now, the last thing I said and I finished with this, the only thing that's gonna be standing in the end time is gonna be spiritual warfare and the prophetic. The true prophetic. Not these clowns that we got, you know, I know you sold security number and all that stuff. That's witchcraft. I'm talking about the true prophetic. David Walkerson was my spiritual father. He wrote a book, Division 73. And everything he wrote is out here today. So to me, that's a prophetic person. But the true prophetic and the spiritual warfare, because in the end, we have to fight the good fight of faith. Paul said it. Second Corinthians, Second Timothy is the last will of the testament. He said it.
30:53 He said Timothy, I'm going home. I fought the good fight. He said I took it easy. I bought me a lazy boy. No, I was in a nursing home. I had chocolate. I had cocoa. No, he fought the good fight. Paul had an awesome resume. Amen. He fought the good fight. You fight the good fight. I fight the good fight. And we fight. Be equipped and be a disciple. Don't go by second-hand debris stuff other people say. Train yourself. The Bible says train yourself and be equipped as a vessel of honor, as an arrow in God's quiver.
