Strang Report - Current Events and the Need to Pray!

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,680
Hello everyone. I'm Stephen Strang and welcome to this live edition of the Strang Report

2
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:15,400
on Thursday, April 11th. I'm glad that you tuned in. Thanks for watching. You know, there

3
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,720
are a lot of podcasts you can watch. There are a lot of commentators. It seems that the

4
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:25,240
people who write about and have podcasts on controversy get the most attention, especially

5
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:31,640
in this very strange social media environment. But you know, that's not my goal. I'm a journalist,

6
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,320
if you know anything about me. I was trained as a secular journalist at the University

7
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:42,840
of Florida. I worked in secular journalism until I began to see how liberal and truly

8
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:49,600
corrupt it was. Now, I only saw a tiny microcosm of what's developed since then, but also God

9
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:56,520
gave me a desire to minister to the Christian community by providing news and information

10
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:02,040
and articles and featuring positive things about what the Holy Spirit was doing around

11
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:08,920
the world. Because when we started in the 1970s, the Charismatic Movement was going.

12
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,800
It was new. It was exciting. People were interested in it. Well, you know, it's still going. The

13
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:21,200
Pentecostal and Charismatic Movement are continuing to grow. It's not happening like it was back

14
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:29,480
then. In fact, this is a little aside, but the Charismatic Movement was an early victim

15
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:37,080
in some ways of cancel culture because there was a vibrant Charismatic Movement within

16
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:42,320
the Lutheran Church, the Methodist Church, the Episcopal Church, and most of those ministries

17
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:50,240
are essentially gone. Either they were drummed out as being heretics in some instances, or

18
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,520
people just got discouraged and quit, or a lot of the people just gave up and went to

19
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:00,320
independent Charismatic churches where they were more welcomed. However, at a grassroots

20
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,880
level, it's continuing to grow and develop, and it's still one of the fastest growing

21
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,000
segments of Christianity. And that's the segment that we serve, and we serve for years, but

22
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
we served it differently today than we did back when it was just in print. But Charisma

23
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,760
Media is doing a lot of good things. In fact, I encourage you to read our CharismaNews.com

24
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:30,560
and our Charismamag.com content that we put out every day. It's our effort to try to add

25
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:36,840
something to the news because most of the news about the Charismatic Movement is bad

26
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:44,200
if there's a scandal like the one that's very controversial. Boy, the secular media is glad

27
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:50,880
to play that up. But if good things happen, even if miracles happen, if prophecies are

28
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:58,800
made and come true, they ignore it as if it didn't exist. They want to ignore it. And

29
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,200
the thing is that this has been around for as long as I've been in the business. I thought

30
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,320
it was bad years ago. It's even worse now. And the interesting thing is, I'll just make

31
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:15,000
this one parallel and we'll go on and talk about spiritual things, which is the topic

32
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,080
of today's podcast. I have no guests today. I'm just sharing with you from my heart to

33
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,120
help you to understand. That's the purpose of The Strang Report. And really, everything

34
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:33,720
I do is to try to help you understand the times like the sons of Issachar. You know,

35
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,400
people can take anything and spin it. Look what they do about Donald Trump or what they

36
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:46,240
do about President Biden. He does all these crazy things like declaring a transgender

37
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:55,240
awareness day and they spin it. And he does all these other things and they spin it. You

38
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:01,920
know, sadly, he's getting to the age where he has some level of dementia, where he falls

39
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:07,720
down. You've all seen it on TV. They spin it. Well, when it comes to spiritual things,

40
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,920
which are a hundred times, a thousand times, a million times more important than whatever's

41
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:18,080
happening in Washington, D.C., they spin it. They try to make it seem as if it doesn't

42
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:24,400
happen. And here we are trying to get out the word and with God's help and by God's

43
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:32,200
grace, we've been doing it now for more than 40 years. And now we're doing it by podcast

44
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:37,240
and online and lots of ways. We're publishing many books. You probably know that we're Jonathan

45
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:43,400
Kahn's publisher, but we publish many, many books and every book we do falls into line

46
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,600
with we're trying to help you understand what's going on. And today I'm going to talk about

47
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:57,120
some issues in the news and the fact that we need to not only understand, but we need

48
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,160
to really, really pray. So if you know someone that you think might want to tune into us

49
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:08,640
live or watch it later on YouTube, please do that. We're building our list. My goal

50
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:15,140
is to build my subscriber list to one hundred thousand. So if you haven't subscribed yet,

51
00:05:15,140 --> 00:05:19,280
if you would do so and hit the little bell when you're notified that we're on live every

52
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:28,320
Tuesday and Thursday, four p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. And also, I'll just mention to you this

53
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,000
is not about my book today, Spirit-Led Living in an Upside Down World. But listen, we've

54
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,920
got to be led by the Holy Spirit. We need the Holy Spirit now more than ever. We need

55
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:43,040
it to be strong with really what's persecution in lots of ways that I'll talk about a little

56
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:49,440
bit. But also we get persecution personally. I mean, even family members put us down or

57
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:54,640
say that religion is not important. And really, it's a spiritual battle. It's a spiritual

58
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,800
battle. If you listen to me very much, you know, I say that a lot. In fact, I've even

59
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:06,120
been ridiculed in some articles where they were trying to, you know, it was sort of an

60
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:11,720
anti article about a Christian leader. They were probably had nothing against me personally.

61
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:17,840
And they made fun that I called things a spiritual attack as if that was a dumb thing to say.

62
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:25,400
Well, no, this. Listen, there's a real evil in the world. And there's, of course, goodness

63
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:32,080
and truth and light. And that's God and everything he represents. And those of us who love God

64
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,780
and have given our lives and accept Jesus as our savior and have been filled with the

65
00:06:35,780 --> 00:06:43,440
Holy Spirit, we have a responsibility. God put us here now for a very important reason.

66
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:48,680
God put none of us asked to be born when we were born. We're born in this generation and

67
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:55,040
we have to stand up. And my writing this book, I make that point in the book and Pentecost

68
00:06:55,040 --> 00:07:01,720
is coming up. And just today I was working with some pastors who are taking my book for

69
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,400
Bible studies in their church and also for Pentecost. This is not a commercial for that.

70
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:13,840
I'm just trying to mention it that if you're interested, you can write me at info at charisma

71
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:19,560
media dot com. Charisma Media is written as if it's one word. And I'll tell you all the

72
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:25,840
information I won't take time to tell you now, but I'm selling the the book barely over

73
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:33,000
our manufacturing and developmental costs just because I want to get out the word. I

74
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,720
want to encourage people. I get the feeling. In fact, one of the reasons I got the feeling

75
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,640
or I wrote the book was because I got the feeling that people were discouraged. And

76
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:50,680
I know, you know, I listened to certain materials to try to help me professionally and personally.

77
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:57,840
And I was listening to secular people talk about how you need to have one writer that

78
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:03,080
I write about in this book talked about you had to work 10 times harder and 10 times faster

79
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:08,880
and be 10 times smarter. And if you did, you would have the energy to be successful. That

80
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:14,920
was kind of his secular theme. And it occurred to me that those of us who have the power

81
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:20,840
of God, we have a power that is much more than 10 times more. And if we would just use

82
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,920
it, that was kind of the germ of the idea that I write about in the book. Now, let me

83
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,960
talk about what's going on. I just got an email from Paula White Kane, who's a longtime

84
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:38,040
friend of mine. You may know that she's a friend, a confidant of the presidents. And

85
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:44,040
she sent out this thing to encourage people to pray. And I want to encourage you to pray

86
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:48,920
too, because there's a power in prayer. The secular people make it sound like it's just

87
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:55,240
vain religious repetitions. And I guess there are some prayers that are. But listen, if

88
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,020
you're empowered by the Holy Spirit and you know how to pray, especially if you can pray

89
00:08:59,020 --> 00:09:04,760
in your prayer language, I talk about that in the book too. We have a power and you know,

90
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,640
God answers prayers. And it doesn't matter if the people on social media are not saying,

91
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:14,880
oh, God answered this prayer and that prayer. Listen, most of the people in those settings

92
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:21,040
are not of this world. In fact, they are, they are not from the spiritual side. They're

93
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:26,560
from the devil side. I hate to say that. And I'm not talking about anybody in particular.

94
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:32,180
I'm just saying that that is where what we're up against and listen to what Paula said.

95
00:09:32,180 --> 00:09:42,740
She said that there's chance of death to America in Michigan that has a large Arab population

96
00:09:42,740 --> 00:09:49,160
around Detroit. Then there are pro Palestinian protests in the U S Capitol. There is talk

97
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:54,760
of ISIS inspired attacks on American churches. And she tells the story of how a young girl

98
00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:02,040
in Washington, DC applied to start a little interfaith praying club and was denied in

99
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:07,760
Washington. She says it's time for America's faithful to wake up to anti-Christian and

100
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:13,320
anti-Jewish attacks happening, not only around the world, but in our own communities. And

101
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:20,140
we need to pray. We need to pray that God does something. Now I've talked about that.

102
00:10:20,140 --> 00:10:26,220
There is, there's one side, you know, there's like our country split right down the middle

103
00:10:26,220 --> 00:10:30,760
and a lot of it comes down to politics. We have an election coming up and listen, I've

104
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:37,720
written three books on Donald Trump and I've researched it well and I have very, very strong

105
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:45,720
feelings, but today I'm not talking politics other than to say that when president Biden

106
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:52,480
had a transgender awareness day, which happened to fall this year on Easter, a lot of us who'd

107
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:59,440
never heard of it, uh, didn't realize that he's done this every year since, uh, 2021.

108
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,880
We thankfully, nobody paid much attention to it, but this year it fell on Easter and

109
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,800
you know, he could have backpedaled that. In fact, he should have never done it to start

110
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,720
with. He got a real blowback and then he said he couldn't remember signing it, which is

111
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:21,240
a little scary when you think about it. President Trump responded by, um, saying that he was

112
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:28,520
going to have a Christian visibility day on November 5th. Now that happens to be election

113
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:34,600
day, but he, you know, he's, he's great at coming up with these ideas and yes, he probably

114
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,720
did it to stick his eye, his finger in their eye, but you know what? I think that it deserved

115
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:46,620
that. I really did. I did a previous podcast just about how terrible it was and decided

116
00:11:46,620 --> 00:11:51,620
not to, we recorded, I decided not to play it because I decided I don't want to just

117
00:11:51,620 --> 00:11:56,620
harp on the political stuff and what's on the news cycle. I want to talk about what's

118
00:11:56,620 --> 00:12:03,440
happening spiritually. Listen, the drift that our country has been going on for, has been

119
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:10,200
going on for decades. It's just kind of gotten to a tipping point. In fact, I think it, it

120
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,480
comes down to politics. Our country has been split. We've known since the nineties that

121
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,960
our country is split, but it was a little bit more on our side. In other words, let's

122
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:25,600
say it was maybe 52% our way and 48% the other way. So when it came down to crucial elections,

123
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:34,520
like the 2000 election that was decided by just a few votes, you may remember that election.

124
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,440
There was a count and a recount down here in the state of Florida where I live. It was

125
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:44,080
like we, we won. Now it seems to have tipped that when it's close, it just goes the other

126
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:50,040
way. You know, neither president Obama did not win by a landslide. It was a fairly substantial

127
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:57,640
amount president Biden, even by a less amount. And, uh, but do you know what the politics

128
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:03,160
are dirty? They just are. I, as a journalist, I'm aware of that. And especially when I wrote

129
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:14,440
these books, both parties are unrighteous in my opinion, but one espouses everything that

130
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:22,920
is against the Bible from abortion to transgender to, uh, gay rights and all that kind of stuff.

131
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:28,620
The Republicans at least give lip service, but then they don't do anything. They just

132
00:13:28,620 --> 00:13:34,960
really don't. Donald Trump is different. And that's why, uh, I have supported him in the

133
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:42,140
past and why I support him now, because he moved the embassy to, uh, Jerusalem, like

134
00:13:42,140 --> 00:13:48,960
he said he would. The others didn't. He appointed Supreme court justices that were conservative,

135
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:55,080
which have resulted in some rulings in the way that we believe they should have been.

136
00:13:55,080 --> 00:14:04,080
Uh, he has, he listens to, um, godly counsel. Listen, you go on YouTube and see groups of

137
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:10,080
pastors. Uh, Paula White is one, Kenneth Copeland, others, some pastors you wouldn't know. Some

138
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:16,480
are, are nationally no names like Robert Jeffress at first Baptist Dallas, praying for him and

139
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:23,360
laying hands on him. You can see it on YouTube. Now I have had the privilege as a journalist

140
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:32,280
to interview, um, three us presidents, actually four, including Donald Trump, both bushes,

141
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:37,280
president Obama and Donald Trump. And I've been in settings where they invited different

142
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,600
Christian leaders up to Washington for a briefing, usually trying to get our support. Sometimes

143
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,200
they talk about prayer one day on the national day of prayer. They talked about prayer. They

144
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:52,040
never prayed. Donald Trump is open to that. Now there's a lot you can criticize about

145
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:59,400
Donald Trump and the other side does that all day long. And frankly, some of the mega

146
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,920
people are a little bit of an embarrassment. They've almost made him into an idol. That's

147
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:10,200
wrong too. But you know what? We as Christians, we can do a middle ground where we can stand

148
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:17,280
for principles, but not be nasty about it. Not be yelling and screaming on figuratively

149
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:23,800
speaking on social media where we can register our people and get them to the polls, where

150
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:30,080
we can stand up for the right kind of causes, where we can support the kind of politicians,

151
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,680
which we have a right as Americans to vote for the kind of people that are going to lead

152
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:41,020
our country in the right kind of way. The Bible tells us to pray for godly leaders so

153
00:15:41,020 --> 00:15:49,320
that we can do that. And so we need to pray. Like I said earlier, it's hard to prove that

154
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:56,960
prayer is answered. But over the years I've come across different things. Usually it's

155
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:03,680
fairly obscure writing about how people pray to World War II. We tend to forget that World

156
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:09,520
War II was as bad as it was and Hitler was as bad as he was because our side won. But

157
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,640
at one time, especially early in the war, it looked like Hitler would win. It looked

158
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:22,900
like England would cave in. America was not in the war at that point. And really the war

159
00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:29,400
did not turn until D-Day. And it could have been that they would have made peace with

160
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:40,740
Hitler to just try to avoid the bloody war that happened. But you know, people prayed.

161
00:16:40,740 --> 00:16:45,680
And there was a miracle. If you ever saw the movie on Winston Churchill, they depict it

162
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:50,120
very well. They sort of leave out the prayer part. But Winston Churchill did call for a

163
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:57,080
national day of prayer. And this flotilla of boats evacuated, if I remember the number

164
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:03,120
right, it was about 400,000 British soldiers, which was most of their army, saved their

165
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,920
lives and they were able to fight another day. That was an answer to prayer. And of

166
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,440
course there were stories about people in the United States praying. We had a terrible

167
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:22,240
war going on in the Pacific with Japan. And you know, Roosevelt died while he was in office.

168
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:30,440
God raised up an unknown man named Harry Truman, who in a manner of speaking, provided real

169
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:39,040
leadership at the right time. He's even the first one to recognize Israel. By the way,

170
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:44,000
as I wrap this up, let me just say that what's going on in Israel is very, very concerning.

171
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:50,120
We've got to stand strong with Israel. We've got to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. And

172
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:55,200
we have to try to do our part to influence public opinion, which means talking to your

173
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,920
neighbors and friends about it, writing letters. There's all kinds of things we can do without

174
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:05,280
being loud and nasty and everything else that happens so often. I've been reading lately

175
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:12,160
a book that's very, very critical of evangelicals. They're even critical of me, but some of the

176
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:18,000
stuff they say about the religious right is true. A lot of times people are mean. They

177
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:24,440
tend to put politics up on a pedestal almost higher than the Lord Jesus himself. That's

178
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:30,560
wrong. So I know today I've talked about everything from A to Z. In some ways that's my life.

179
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,840
I'm dealing with all these things all the time. And to some extent you are too. That's

180
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:41,600
why you tune in because I'm one more voice who can give you advice on how to deal with

181
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,200
these things and how we need to deal with them is to pray. So I'm going to wrap up the

182
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:53,320
podcast with prayer. I am doing this live, but people will be watching it. But you know

183
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,260
what? People like Oral Roberts and different ones have prayed. I remember Oral Roberts

184
00:18:57,260 --> 00:19:03,000
used to reach out his hand and even tell people to touch the radio as a point of contact or

185
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,440
touch the television back in the early days as a point of contact. You know, God is everywhere

186
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:16,080
all the time. He's omniscient and you know, the technology we have is pretty amazing that

187
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:21,600
you can be wherever you are watching. But you know, when we pray, something happens

188
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,840
in the spiritual realm. I really believe that. So let's pray right now, Lord, in the name

189
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:32,440
of Jesus, I just joined my faith with the, those who are watching who are also praying

190
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:37,080
and Lord, we pray that you will turn things around in this country. We pray that you'll

191
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,800
raise up the right kind of leaders. We pray Lord that you bring the truth. We pray that

192
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:47,720
you swing public opinion, but Lord, we really pray that revival comes in the hearts and

193
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:53,420
lives of many people. Lord, if people's hearts change at the grassroots level, other things

194
00:19:53,420 --> 00:19:57,720
will change. Lord, we just take authority over the enemy. We know that we have the power

195
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:04,160
of the Holy Spirit to bind it loose. We just loose the Holy Spirit to work. We just bind

196
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:09,320
the enemy and we agree as believers, Lord, that you're going to do something great and

197
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:14,280
miraculous. And I thank you for praying for me. I thank you for watching. Please share

198
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,560
this with others. Tune in. I'm going to be dealing. I've got some great guests coming

199
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:25,320
up, some kind of big name people that I think that you'll enjoy watching. I'm doing more

203
00:20:41,260 --> 00:20:47,260
you for watching The Strang Report today. Thank you for partnering with us, trying to

204
00:20:47,260 --> 00:20:52,760
get out the word that there is the power of the Holy Spirit is for today, is something

205
00:20:52,760 --> 00:21:00,840
we can experience. And we have, we know it's like I heard Bob Mumford say, we read the

206
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,900
end of the book and we win. We believe that we've got to stay strong and believe that

207
00:21:04,900 --> 00:21:13,440
and do our part while we're here. Thank you for watching. God bless you.

208
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:25,000
Do you ever feel discouraged? Do you need hope? The world is so upside down that even

209
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:30,960
if you believe there's power in the Holy Spirit, sometimes you need to be reminded that greater

210
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:36,600
is he that is within us than he is in the world. My new book, Spirit-Led Living in an

211
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:42,560
Upside Down World, was written to give you hope, to remind you of things you know, to

212
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:49,960
explain spiritual truths that you didn't understand or maybe have forgotten. I draw on my decades

213
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:55,240
of covering the worldwide move of the Holy Spirit to give you examples and stories of

214
00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:02,040
great men and women of God, from Jack Hayford to Catherine Kuhlman and many others explaining

215
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:09,320
spiritual gifts and telling stories of victory in the face of trials and temptations. I wrote

216
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:15,840
this book for you and I want you to read it. It's easy to read with lots of practical stories

217
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:21,880
to help you. It is not a theological treatise on the Holy Spirit. In a way, it's a self-help

218
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:28,720
book looking at the spiritual side of life. So if you long for more of God and to experience

219
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:34,280
the power of the Holy Spirit and the power to rebuke the spiritual attacks in your life

220
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:41,640
and boldness to stand for God when the cancel culture wants you to sit down and shut up,

221
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:47,320
then my book Spirit-Led Living in an Upside Down World is for you. You can find the book

222
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:56,080
wherever Christian books are sold, including Amazon.com or MyCharismaShop.com. Remember,

223
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:03,480
the Holy Spirit is here to help us now and for all the days ahead, no matter how upside

224
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,840
down the world gets. Enjoy the book and God bless you.
