00:02:29.600 is hour number one if you happen to be uh uh listening in in the uh normal order uh thank you

00:02:36.960 so much for joining us i want to give you a roadmap today uh and the roadmap is just a i'm just going to

00:02:44.560 drop a pin on where we are today and where we're headed just told you about the slippery slope and the

00:02:51.640 things that are happening to your family and what the doj is doing about it which is uh worse than

00:02:59.000 nothing now let me talk to you a little bit about something that came up over the weekend and i have been

00:03:05.080 trying to figure it out and talking to some experts it took me a couple of days to get get to a place

00:03:10.520 to where i could really explain it to you uh one of the things that's happening in the market is you've

00:03:15.880 got two big banks deutsche bank and uh credit suisse that are about to default or at least it looks like

00:03:23.280 it let me take you back in history back in march 2020 right at the dawn of the covid 19 panic

00:03:29.280 some interesting things happened on wall street march 9th the dow jones industrial average lost

00:03:35.160 2 000 points that's more than a 10 crash in a single day at the time it was one of the largest single

00:03:43.300 day declines in the u.s history of uh of stocks more than 1.8 trillion dollars was wiped out from the

00:03:51.300 u.s pensions and retirement funds in a single day march 10th the very next day the federal reserve

00:03:59.540 began making emergency loans to what were considered to be systematically important banks that is banks

00:04:07.140 that are just too big to fail now it's important to remember that we didn't learn about these emergency

00:04:13.220 loans made during march of 2020 just as the who and the cdc were declaring a pandemic we didn't

00:04:21.140 learn about those loans until two years later because the fed isn't they're no longer required

00:04:27.260 to tell you who they're making loans to or for how much until two full years after it makes the loans

00:04:35.240 so they say that's not to make sure that nobody is panicking well investors if they knew in real time

00:04:41.660 these banks needed cash it would cause a run on the banks so for example on march 9th the dow lost

00:04:49.200 2 000 points and more than 10 of its value so on march 10th and we know this now because two years

00:04:55.160 have passed the u.s federal reserve made 112 billion dollars in emergency loans to 24 banks

00:05:03.600 stocks rebounded slightly but then the first deaths started being reported from covid at retirement homes

00:05:10.580 trump canceled the international travel and within a couple of days stocks were down another 1500 points

00:05:16.340 shedding 4 trillion dollars in wealth from the portfolios of americans in just a couple of days

00:05:22.640 for its part the fed continue lending distributing a total of 1 trillion dollars

00:05:29.160 1 trillion dollars in emergency loans to banks in just a six-day period remember

00:05:35.140 this is two weeks into the pandemic well before businesses were shut down at this point

00:05:42.300 all that had really happened to the economy was that stocks you know the forward-looking investment

00:05:48.380 vehicle were declining but this was enough for the fed to print 1 trillion dollars in new currency and

00:05:55.400 loan it out to the banks considered too big to fail not just our banks no no not just the u.s banks

00:06:02.520 some of the largest borrowers in the past 20 years from emergency loans from our federal reserve

00:06:08.220 have been foreign banks and investment firms uh nomura securities out of japan bnc paribus the french bank

00:06:18.840 barclays bank out of the uk all of these are the largest borrowers from the fed so was the largest swiss bank

00:06:29.520 credit suisse the largest swiss bank credit suisse were they on that list oh yeah

00:06:38.100 just in six days from march 10th to march 16th 2020 credit suisse requested and was granted 50

00:06:45.980 billion dollars in emergency loans more than 7 percent of the total that the fed had loaned to 24 banks

00:06:52.640 but that was covid right now it may seem odd that the central bank of the united states

00:06:59.200 needed to loan the largest swiss bank 50 billion dollars in just a few days don't they have their

00:07:05.860 own central bank but let's just chalk it up to yet another covid emergency we had to do something

00:07:13.040 we had to bail out the largest banks in japan switzerland uk france i mean it was a pandemic

00:07:17.760 so now fast forward to 2022 all those banks got their covid bailout in january 2022 the dow jones

00:07:27.780 industrial average hit a new all-time high so clearly the bailouts worked and the banks made all

00:07:34.080 this money the banks were able to recover and get past the pandemic right i mean those trillions in

00:07:40.960 loans to banks skyrocketed inflation and uh you know added to the currency circulation and inflation

00:07:48.360 is defined by you know too much currency too much money chasing too few goods but we saved the banks

00:07:55.780 right we restored the stock market and set ourselves out to a record record uh recovery

00:08:02.400 well yesterday credit suisse flagged as the too big to fail bank by the u.s federal reserve

00:08:10.460 their stock hit an all-time low they shed more than 65 percent of its value losing 20 percent of its value

00:08:20.320 in one day worse investors are effectively betting now that credit suite swiss uh the credits suisse will

00:08:30.720 go belly up next year we know this because of i hate to bring this word up credit default swaps

00:08:38.260 i'm not going to get you know i'm not going to get all big short on you but this is when you have the bonds

00:08:46.820 and you think uh-oh i think we might lose the bank might go out i buy an insurance policy

00:08:54.660 okay credit default and i swap i swap what i'm holding i give it to you and i get the insurance

00:09:03.520 money okay credit default swaps it's a way to bet on the down it's horrible but now 30 percent it went up

00:09:13.600 these the price to insurance to insure went up 25 percent yesterday yesterday 30 percent of people

00:09:22.800 are now betting that credit suisse is going to collapse so what's going on why would it collapse

00:09:29.260 again i'm not going to go into all of this stuff i just need you to understand the big points and you

00:09:37.880 will understand this this will take your breath away again remember we all talked about credit default

00:09:44.060 swaps and derivatives oh derivatives oh that's horrible

00:09:49.680 without getting into all of that remember when we said that the global deliver derivatives market

00:10:00.620 after 2008 started going back up again and it surpassed what happened in 2008 and the global

00:10:08.300 derivatives market was about a hundred trillion dollars and we're like a hundred trillion dollars

00:10:13.640 that's horrible and we raised the alarm they haven't learned anything in fact it's gotten worse

00:10:20.440 then it rose to 500 trillion dollars just a couple of years ago and we raised the alarm again

00:10:28.040 any idea where the derivatives market is right now after two years of pandemic two years of biden

00:10:40.460 inflation and after stocks have lost 20 percent of their value since january where's the derivative

00:10:48.200 market one quadrillion dollars no way out one quadrillion that's one thousand trillion dollars

00:11:06.160 that's what's held by the 24 largest banks in the world one thousand trillion dollars you haven't even

00:11:18.020 begun to feel the pain of what these people have done derivatives have been around since the 1920s

00:11:25.660 but we have gone insane now last year when a private wealth fund defaulted it cost the global banks

00:11:37.640 more than 11 billion dollars in derivatives losses more than 5 billion was absorbed by credit suisse bank

00:11:46.080 that's nearly half the global losses of one firm that just had 11 billion we're we have one quadrillion

00:11:57.900 now

00:12:01.320 if i'm you

00:12:04.520 i could easily say it's a you know german bank or a swiss bank and it's not my problem

00:12:11.380 but it is your problem because it is your dollar your currency provided by your federal reserve

00:12:20.000 why are there not people standing in front of the federal reserve demanding answers and holding signs up

00:12:30.000 one quadrillion dollars

00:12:33.500 where does inflation come from

00:12:37.180 you think it's all government spending collectively since the fed started emergency lending operations in september of 2019

00:12:46.180 and note for you conspiracy theorists out there september of 2019 was five full months

00:12:52.160 before there was a single positive covid case in the u.s and we were talking about it in september of 2019

00:12:59.380 the foreign banks have collectively borrowed six trillion dollars from the federal reserve

00:13:07.220 now here's the funny thing

00:13:13.160 six trillion dollars has already gone out

00:13:15.880 one quadrillion dollars

00:13:18.060 if the federal reserve decides to lend credit suisse another 500 billion dollars today or tomorrow

00:13:25.680 to bail itself out of whatever mess it's in

00:13:29.700 you

00:13:32.700 the one who's actually paying for this

00:13:37.000 you won't know for another two years

00:13:41.180 because under dodd frank you know the one that was going to fix everything

00:13:46.200 the fed's reporting requirements

00:13:48.920 now allow for a two-year delay

00:13:52.860 so if we are bailing out germany and switzerland today

00:13:56.880 make sure you tune in to this show on october 4th 2024

00:14:02.020 to find out what it costs you

00:14:04.860 this is the best of the glenbeck program

00:14:11.880 chad welcome to the program sir how are you

00:14:20.420 good this is glenn yes you're on how are you sir

00:14:25.620 i'm good i'm good thanks for having me on glenn you bet where are you right now

00:14:30.520 i am down in the in the woodland texas okay good good good you're home

00:14:35.660 i'm home i saw you about four weeks ago

00:14:40.100 and you had just come from the front lines

00:14:42.980 uh over in ukraine and i said what are you seeing

00:14:47.260 and you said well i'm not seeing really any significant american relief

00:14:53.740 and i'm not no and that was the same on this trip glenn and it's really

00:14:58.780 it's it's not only sad and unfortunate it's uh it it needs to be addressed i

00:15:04.120 mean uh there is no congressional oversight on this money

00:15:07.020 this money is going into a black hole and uh in any country in the world it

00:15:11.520 would be bad you would it would be bad i mean

00:15:14.600 people are people and uh governments are corrupt and that's going to end up

00:15:17.840 where it shouldn't and the money's not ending up where it's going it's u.s

00:15:20.940 taxpayers dollars millions of dollars and not only that the the it's it's

00:15:26.280 being sent because it's needed it's needed to save lives and uh and and

00:15:29.960 restore humanity and it's not being used for that

00:15:32.260 so do you think that's us or do you think that's them or a combination of the

00:15:37.260 two i think it's a combination of the two you

00:15:39.960 know uh i've been getting a lot of slack from

00:15:42.180 people like why are you over in ukraine helping ukraine's a corrupt country i'm 0.71

00:15:45.000 like well you know what else is corrupt washington dc uh and and uh you know

00:15:49.360 governments are corrupt around the world

00:15:51.300 certainly uh ukraine has had a history of corruption uh uh and uh it's been a

00:15:55.820 hotbed of money laundering and things like that but so is washington dc and

00:15:59.040 and uh the fact that this money is not being audited or accounted for or or or uh

00:16:04.780 you know has any kind of oversight uh just leaves room for corruption both in

00:16:09.500 ukraine and washington dc and uh and i don't think it's i think this would

00:16:13.280 not be difficult at all we have the embassy back in ukraine now it would not be

00:16:16.980 difficult to have correct congressional oversight over these funds and make

00:16:20.100 sure they go to the right place uh it's needed the month i do believe the

00:16:23.580 money is needed there i know there's not everyone agrees with that but you know

00:16:27.300 we have i believe we should be supporting these people not in the in the realm of

00:16:31.100 the money that we are giving them i think that was too big of a blank check

00:16:34.360 and uh you know a lot can be done with a lot less money

00:16:37.780 it actually has to get to where it belongs and uh and you know i i just as

00:16:41.980 mighty oaks and you know mercury one you guys helped us help us financially

00:16:45.700 glenn and and we just brought twenty thousand dollars in medical supplies to a

00:16:49.740 special operations on the front line when i say medical supplies

00:16:52.300 ifax individual first aid kits to go in as troops because they don't have them

00:16:56.520 and they're like please give us anything so not only did we bring twenty

00:16:59.880 thousand dollars worth of ifax to give this special forces unit

00:17:02.760 but we brought a er trial doctor who trains army special forces medics we brought

00:17:08.000 him with us to teach them how to use that

00:17:09.600 and that's something that we did we did that trip for maybe it cost us

00:17:13.360 forty thousand dollars to do that trip

00:17:15.400 you know and that would they were so thankful for that they were like that's

00:17:19.080 life-saving training that we were able to give them

00:17:21.080 and uh meanwhile you know billions of dollars isn't reaching them why can't

00:17:25.320 you know those billions of dollars go to things like that

00:17:26.980 yeah because it's going through government um and uh and dirty hands uh every step of

00:17:32.380 the way you're also delivering something else

00:17:35.260 along with the medical care are you not

00:17:37.680 that's right we um you know mighty oaks does

00:17:40.800 we for u.s service members we've done over you know over 400 000 active duty

00:17:45.280 u.s service members with our spiritual resiliency program

00:17:47.760 and in 2016 we decided to bring this to our allied troops around the world

00:17:51.280 we went to ukraine before in 2017 and 2018 to do this

00:17:54.860 and so now we're back there on the front lines

00:17:56.740 and we go there a typical day will be we'll give them some classes that are

00:18:00.680 non-lethal aid like bailout procedures for the personal safety medical classes

00:18:04.480 we'll give them resources and supplies and then we'll give them resources that are

00:18:08.540 spiritual we have we give out the audio bible sticks to them

00:18:11.600 and some other uh resources to help work on their mental and spiritual health

00:18:15.260 and at the end of the day once we build that rapport with them all day

00:18:17.900 we're able to talk to them veteran to veteran combat veteran to combat veteran

00:18:21.920 peer to peer about spiritual resiliency and mental resiliency

00:18:24.640 that way they could stay in the fight to protect their homes and their families and

00:18:27.800 and uh their freedom and uh you know we we know from our experience

00:18:31.540 as war fighters and you know that's 20 years of war that we just went through

00:18:34.720 that there's a lot of things you can have on the battlefield but nothing's more

00:18:37.640 essential than having a strong spiritual foundation

00:18:39.740 uh and and uh we were able to share the gospel of christ you know with these guys

00:18:43.560 um chad tell me about the the war crimes uh that you witnessed

00:18:50.820 you know i've been seeing this since february since we've been gone there glenn

00:18:55.200 but nothing worse than the last few trips uh because i'm getting further i'm getting

00:18:59.480 more into the front lines i just was in a zoom i was two hours east of the zoom which

00:19:03.380 is pretty much russia and uh and that had been occupied for six months and uh and some of the

00:19:09.360 areas we saw and i'll get to the mass graves but one of the things that i think is important to know

00:19:13.880 is every i'm not exaggerating i say this every home every hospital every school every structure

00:19:22.080 the it's almost it's almost impressive as as somebody that's been in combat impressive to say

00:19:27.320 they hit every single structure uh and these aren't military targets these civilians

00:19:32.400 by the way we're showing some videos on uh blaze tv right now some of them are graphic so uh look away

00:19:40.000 but i've seen these um earlier uh and the apartment buildings yeah the the apartment buildings there

00:19:47.960 i mean what you're saying is is true there's really nothing left nothing it's it's all rubble

00:19:56.180 and you say that's different than than usual in in wars like this absolutely i mean you i mean

00:20:03.640 i mean even the taliban is in this rule i mean the taliban attack civilians that you know it's

00:20:08.280 terrorism they want to they want to intimidate people but this is an intimidation this is i mean

00:20:14.720 you're talking like those some of those buildings in the videos you've seen look like two buildings

00:20:18.600 it's one building it's a five-story building blown out to the ground and this was women and children 1.00

00:20:24.260 and civilians living in it and this wasn't one that was accidental this is every apartment building

00:20:28.540 in the area had airdropped airdropped missile right into the roof of that apartment building 0.96

00:20:33.220 that blew it to the ground and killed thousands of civilians and this isn't being reported i'm happy

00:20:37.980 you're allowing me to to give this news right now but it's not being reported and uh and then you

00:20:43.140 know you so this is again this is not this is not a collateral damage this is not uh you know

00:20:49.700 indiscriminate fire this is direct targeting of civilian uh complexes and in civilians which is a

00:20:56.740 war crime and you know in in the international courts uh the icc the international criminal court

00:21:02.340 in the un uh needs to be stepping in because this is not should never be allowed uh regardless of

00:21:07.680 ukraine russia political sides like who none of that this would never be allowed in this point of

00:21:13.140 our civilization to attack civilians this way and you know after we spent the day i spent i was with a

00:21:19.700 uh the chief vadim who's the chief of the entire uh law enforcement for all of ukraine though he'd

00:21:26.140 be like over essentially over like the fbi uh cia every everything for all of ukraine and he was sent

00:21:32.080 there by the government to make sure they secured a zoom after they recaptured it so we were with him

00:21:37.140 as i drove to meet him uh myself and my partner driving in this in this combat area to meet him and

00:21:42.960 two mig fighters flew over they did a gun run drop bombs over i've been a lot of war zones i've never had

00:21:47.740 air strut air enemy air over us i mean we always controlled the air so that was kind of a

00:21:53.540 pretty crazy uh scenario for me we had a hind helicopter fly by we get to the front where we're

00:21:59.700 with them while they're fighting there's we're getting shelled and rocketed within 100 meters of

00:22:04.380 us and the small arms fire and uh you've probably seen some of the videos i sent with you know we

00:22:08.540 probably counted about i probably counted about 60 russian soldiers they were like 18 19 20 years old

00:22:13.440 uh it's sad to know that many of them probably don't even know why they were there and uh they

00:22:18.640 were dead or dying and one of the things i did see the ukrainians as we're moving forward and they

00:22:22.240 were they were dying russian soldiers they were rendering aid and uh and that shows who's the good

00:22:27.640 guys because these guys are rendering aid meanwhile these russians had occupied their homes and killed 1.00

00:22:33.440 their family members for six months and the ukrainians are still rendering aid i thought that was that

00:22:37.760 really stood out to me who's in the right side i want to play a clip uh from you out on the field

00:22:43.740 where you're talking about mass graves here it is this area is uh 1,200 uh people were missing from

00:22:56.180 this area they found uh 1,100 bodies uh in this area and they were burned uh before the buried so try you

00:23:05.920 could tell they tried to destroy the evidence of the mass killings most of the people were their

00:23:11.320 hands were tied uh some in front their backs and behind their backs um in executed style so we're

00:23:17.840 not just talking about ballistic missiles and and shelling uh which we've seen i've seen uh firsthand

00:23:23.580 driving through cities that are just leveled to rubble uh civilian targets civilian neighborhoods

00:23:27.720 uh but we're talking beyond that just uh with indirect fire and and uh uh this is not uh

00:23:34.480 uh indiscriminate fire because you know we drove through areas and me and my teammate are driving

00:23:39.580 through like they strategically hit every structure every house every building every school every hospital

00:23:45.300 uh but now beyond that they're once they take these areas they're bringing these civilians out here 1.00

00:23:50.640 in the woods tying their hands behind their back uh and executing them burning their bodies 0.66

00:23:57.520 to hide the evidence putting them in mass graves you saw these people with their hands tied behind

00:24:05.000 their backs and the you saw this yourself i saw it myself when yeah and uh and you know uh there

00:24:12.420 were there were two mass graves that we were brought to one was 474 people they counted specifically to

00:24:17.720 others estimated about 1,100 people and mostly all all civilians mostly because most of the men would

00:24:23.440 have been out fighting most of them were women a lot of children and it appeared it appeared what

00:24:28.360 they were using the graves for when i say 1,100 people i don't think they killed 1,100 people one

00:24:33.000 time but i think over six months they did was you know as they arrested people they brought them there

00:24:37.660 um you know probably bound and handcuffed and then and then would kill them on that side just push

00:24:42.980 them in as a place of disposal that's that would be my i don't have evidence of that but it'd be my

00:24:47.180 interpretation of from what i saw it happen and then as ukraine came in and tried and was retaking

00:24:53.440 that area and it appeared they tried to burn the bodies to maybe hide the evidence but you know

00:24:58.740 burning bodies it's harder than it sounds you gotta use a lot of fuel and and so then they tried to

00:25:03.000 bury it and then they they vacated the area they when i say they vacated they must have left in a hurry

00:25:07.840 because they left 74 tanks in this area chad what so what do we what do we do

00:25:14.260 you know this to me glenn this is a this only gets worse either it russia's losing uh so i think

00:25:25.080 putin has to show strength so i think the only scenarios is that he's going to escalate and do

00:25:30.320 something uh radical even more radical than this uh or you know you have the other scenarios you have

00:25:36.440 uh zawinski who can't because zawinski in the eyes of ukraine they're winning and and as they're

00:25:41.660 winning you can't he's not going to go to negotiation table so it would also require

00:25:45.400 putin to do something that would force him the negotiation table but i think what what we could

00:25:49.460 do as a world and i don't mean as america but as the world is is nato needs to accept ukraine

00:25:54.080 in uh in the nato or and or the u.n and the international criminal court needs to recognize

00:26:00.520 these war crimes and these uh human rights violations and hold hold putin accountable and uh that's

00:26:06.420 what the u.n's for that's what that's what the international criminal court is for uh for these

00:26:11.400 exact scenarios but we're not seeing them take action so what we could do uh you and i is exactly

00:26:17.260 what we're doing right now uh is is exposing this um i i believe if i would have not leaked this

00:26:22.520 information to fox if they would have if i would have reported it right to uh you know united states

00:26:26.840 government or it would have been swept away because they don't want it to be known because if it's

00:26:30.220 known then they have to do something about it and uh so we need to you know make sure that

00:26:34.320 there's reporting from the front lines uh you know unfortunately journalists can't make it to

00:26:38.100 these a lot of these areas because it's it's so volatile and and uh i get that but the reporting

00:26:43.920 needs to be needs to be what it needs to be exposed and uh and you know our government needs to be

00:26:49.820 held accountable for these billions of dollars so that ukraine could if we are going to give if

00:26:54.760 our government's going to decide to give this money then it needs to go where it belongs again i think

00:26:58.640 you and i both agree that this much money is makes the problem worse uh but um you know if we are

00:27:04.740 going to give it then give it and have good oversight uh if if we're going to have international

00:27:08.860 criminal court system then then use it for times like this the un this is what it's for this is what

00:27:14.000 the un's for and uh you know i also believe nato at this point nato should accept ukraine and by the

00:27:19.360 way in the last i think just a couple of days ago president zawinsky uh applied again for um for ukraine to

00:27:26.240 be accepted into nato chad uh thank you so much for doing everything that you do i i know your heart

00:27:33.400 is in the right place i know who you serve uh and um i can't imagine what this does for somebody who

00:27:40.400 went through ptsd to be over there again and seeing these things uh so i appreciate your service

00:27:46.900 um to him and to us so thank you so much chad thank you again god bless and thanks for all your

00:27:53.760 support too uh we couldn't do it without you you got it the mighty oaks foundation he's the founder

00:27:59.060 and ceo co-founder of save our allies uh you can follow him uh at save our allies or save our allies

00:28:08.100 dot org you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:28:14.760 max lucado is with us now max how are you it's great to see you glenn it's good to see you thank

00:28:26.360 you um max says he's a guy who writes books for people who uh don't read books um and those people

00:28:35.000 um uh read a lot of his books 96 million copies of his books are in print 56 languages worldwide

00:28:45.220 um he had just started a new podcast with a global pandemic he started a video uh check in a daily

00:28:52.620 video check-in more than uh that that check-in is more than 42 million times people have checked in

00:28:59.780 with it and he now has his encouraging word podcast which is one of the top podcasts in religion and

00:29:05.960 self-help um and he's here because he has a new book called help is here max and i were just talking

00:29:13.120 off the air and i want you to know as a listener um i think what max is going to outline

00:29:22.320 is um vitally important i don't believe in coincidence i have told you for a very long time

00:29:30.980 that there's going to come a time when you're going to be you're going to need the spirit so close and

00:29:36.060 you listen to the spirit so closely that when it says stop turn around you will stop turn around and go

00:29:44.720 the other way i've said that for 15 years yesterday i told you that time is here yesterday i

00:29:52.140 think four times on the show which is an unusual number for me unless i really want to make sure

00:29:59.180 people hear it uh yesterday i said you will not survive you will not survive what is coming

00:30:09.360 without the constant companion of the holy spirit that's unusual for a public broadcaster to say

00:30:19.280 but i know it to be true something i didn't know yesterday because we booked this maybe a month or

00:30:25.940 two ago that max was coming and i knew he was coming with a book and as i'm doing my show prep

00:30:32.240 i realize what the book is about help is here finding fresh strength and purpose in the power

00:30:40.260 of the holy spirit welcome max i think you're supposed to be here today i'm just so excited

00:30:47.260 glenn uh number one i'm always excited to see you i admire you hold you in highest esteem and deeply

00:30:54.200 deeply appreciate you thank you i think you're such a crucial voice in our society and thank you for

00:31:01.560 not giving up and for not throwing in the towel nope nope that ain't gonna happen it's not gonna happen

00:31:06.900 yeah so thank you yeah thank you and i'm just happy to be here to see you and and to discuss the

00:31:12.580 the power and the presence of the holy spirit so it's weird because as you said you didn't say god

00:31:19.100 you didn't say jesus you said the holy spirit define what the holy spirit is yeah well the holy spirit is

00:31:26.540 the living presence of god on our planet today the holy spirit uh executes the will of god just as

00:31:36.160 jesus did when jesus was on the earth and just as god the father does uh primarily but prior to christ

00:31:45.060 and then christ executed that will and now the holy spirit is executing that will it's not quite

00:31:50.940 that tidy you know there's always overlap that our little minds cannot conceive of but but it also

00:31:57.840 it verifies truth yes yes and the holy spirit will lead us into all truth that was the promise of christ

00:32:06.700 the holy spirit is here to strengthen us to convict us to challenge us to comfort us to heal us and i

00:32:16.500 think where you and i align so closely is that as we look back especially over the last two or three hundred

00:32:23.300 years uh of of the world history and then the 300 years of our nation's history there have been

00:32:30.440 seasons in which we desperately needed societal renewal and those seasons came glenn as a result of an

00:32:40.180 outpouring of the holy spirit not as a result of a new policy a new president or a different change

00:32:47.320 of leadership but there was a sovereign even a church even a church absolutely or not pastors yeah

00:32:53.700 but there was a supernatural we'd look at the first great awakening the second great awakening even the

00:32:59.000 jesus movement correct that we recall from the late 60s or mid 60s into the early 70s there are these

00:33:05.700 occasions in which god in his sovereignty says i'm going to rescue my people and it's always right

00:33:12.440 in the midst of or toward the end of a time of of desperation and i think that's what you're saying

00:33:19.060 we're desperate in need of a help so when i say because it's definitely a prompting um

00:33:26.380 you don't survive without it and i've described it this way for 15 years maybe 20 years

00:33:34.520 described to somebody who's not all familiar with this what does that mean

00:33:42.120 when you say you don't survive without him you are spot on and and just just quickly statistically

00:33:50.660 we see this right uh anxiety is off the charts the loneliest generation ever recorded is the

00:33:58.040 millennial generation uh about 24 say they have zero friends during the season of life you should

00:34:05.580 have an abundance of friends and building families for the future one out of four say i don't even

00:34:11.400 have a friend the most alarming statistic is that suicides are up 33 uh since 1999 the highest they

00:34:20.640 have been since world war ii and so i think you're spot on glenn and which we're in the midst of a

00:34:27.380 devastation but it has come kind of gradually you know we still go out to dinner we still get up and

00:34:34.180 get our kids off to school it's not like a bomb has gone off but really it has it has a bomb has

00:34:40.560 dropped upon us and and and people are either taking their lives or they're checking out emotionally

00:34:46.900 all around us and and we're not aware of it and so it's an insidious attack that we're feeling

00:34:54.420 it's stealth it's quiet uh it would almost be easier if we had you know an invader crossing our

00:35:03.180 shores much easier yeah because then we look at the difference between 9 11 yeah and today yeah

00:35:08.440 but now we're battling lethargy we're battling depression we're battling infidelity and it's

00:35:14.360 really taking its toll on us so but to answer your your question this is the time that the holy spirit

00:35:21.420 loves to flourish and the holy spirit comes as that invisible presence of god wherever he is invited

00:35:28.800 to bring about healing and wholeness and fresh starts and this is really what we need and this

00:35:36.860 was the promise of christ on the night before his crucifixion he said i must leave so that the holy

00:35:43.300 spirit can come in other words what you have had in me in the form of a physical body in the presence

00:35:50.500 of a messiah i'm going to leave so that everybody from now on all over the planet can receive that

00:35:58.160 same presence and power you have written um during the pandemic that i don't want to quote this let

00:36:06.640 this observation be included in the history books we did not know how to pray yeah what's that mean

00:36:12.440 well we didn't uh you mentioned that during the pandemic i took on a a job of a daily podcast and

00:36:19.400 and at the end of each podcast invited people to post their prayer needs and we would read over we

00:36:25.560 being my team would read over those prayer needs uh they came from you know connecticut to cambodia from

00:36:31.720 all over the world by far and away the most common statement was i'm so discouraged i don't know how to

00:36:40.000 pray or i'm so weary i can't find the words or all i can do is sigh uh i think that's important because

00:36:50.800 in the conversation about the holy spirit one of his assignments is he takes our prayers and presents

00:36:59.240 them before the tribunal of heaven he takes our groans our utterings the apostle paul said we do not

00:37:06.640 not know that for which we should pray and we really don't i mean do we pray for healing or for

00:37:12.260 heaven do we pray for deliverance uh or do we pray for uh uh even death if you're a prisoner you know

00:37:21.680 we don't know exactly how to weather these storms the power of the holy spirit is that he takes when

00:37:28.380 glenn or max can't even utter the right prayer the holy spirit says i'm i take over and i take that

00:37:35.600 prayer and i take it and present it before the the presence of god in heaven which i find so

00:37:41.180 encouraging because that reminds me that the real power of prayer doesn't depend upon the way i pray

00:37:46.940 or even i who pray but upon the one who hears the prayer and that's what will bring strength and and

00:37:54.200 help to people during tough times all right so i pray differently than i think a lot of people pray i

00:38:00.180 just i just talk to him and i can be doing anything but i'm just talking to him and uh and you know

00:38:06.780 it's it's it's a very informal uh kind of prayer but i see him as my buddy um also my sovereign uh as

00:38:16.920 well so different times different things but um when it comes to the spirit um sometimes the way i i know

00:38:27.700 when the spirit is communicating what i have to do it's clear to me when it is something i really

00:38:35.900 don't want to do you know hey uh no i don't think that's right no i got it i got it that that little

00:38:43.480 voice of that's probably not right is the prompt i think is the promptings of the spirit yes when i'm

00:38:51.620 lazy or or i just want it to go my way you know what i mean um so uh how does the how does the um

00:39:02.240 how can the average person get that it doesn't have that feeling yet how can they tell the difference

00:39:10.840 between their voice and the spirit's voice because that's hard sometimes it is it is and i know i know

00:39:20.380 uh you're the one asking questions but i'm so fascinated by your fascination with the holy

00:39:27.440 spirit why i i don't know i i just didn't expect us to be having this uh candid of a conversation

00:39:34.100 and so i i'd love to know your history uh i can give you a two-minute answer to your question sure

00:39:40.740 but at some point i'd love to know i bet that everybody would love to give you two minutes okay

00:39:45.200 okay okay first two okay so here here's the key voice and verse are the two words that work for me

00:39:51.900 uh the holy spirit speaks to the verse speaks through scripture when as a preacher used to tell

00:39:58.280 me as a boy growing up when you open the bible god opens his mouth yeah and i think there's truth in

00:40:04.400 that yeah uh for that reason i do think it's important for every person to spend time with an open bible

00:40:11.400 and an open heart every day uh i know sometimes it's hard to understand the bible but i do believe

00:40:18.000 that the holy spirit will help us what's amazing is when it's happening um you know it because you'll

00:40:26.140 understand it in a different way you'll read something you've read maybe a thousand times and you'll go

00:40:30.960 oh wait a minute or yeah yeah or or that scripture will be deposited in your mind or in your heart

00:40:39.120 and as you're going through the day the holy spirit will bring that scripture to mind and say remember

00:40:45.160 what you read this morning i'm with you always even to the end of the age oh okay you were saying

00:40:50.900 that to me yes and so the verse and then also the voice i really believe that since you have the

00:40:59.660 holy spirit dwelling inside you then you are a holy person on earth and uh the voice you hear and i

00:41:09.080 know that phrase the voices that we hear we play with it everybody knows it but but we've got these

00:41:14.500 voices that say wait a second be careful or watch what you're saying or press forward or green light

00:41:21.680 you get these the holy spirit uh requisitions our thought process and begins to guide us

00:41:31.760 now the holy spirit will never through an inner voice say something that will contradict with the

00:41:37.660 verse so the verse always outranks the voice but there are those times in which the voice and the

00:41:44.460 verse work together and that voice you hear inside you or that verse you've read today they come

00:41:50.560 together and you say okay there's god guiding me there's god guiding me people are i think often

00:41:57.700 unaware of the promise of scripture that god will guide us you don't have to go through this life

00:42:04.460 without a gps you'll screw i did you'll screw your life up so six ways to sunday until you just go 0.57

00:42:12.980 all right yeah all right i i you know i spent my whole life going i got it i got it until you realize i

00:42:19.600 ain't got it ain't got it never stronger than that moment yeah tell can you give us a little

00:42:26.420 context as to your um history i was um i was desperate for forgiveness and i got baptized and

00:42:37.360 uh and uh it's true i mean it my whole life changed on that day a whole life changed on that day

00:42:46.120 and i got married to a wonderful woman and um uh she called me one morning and uh she said i'm in a

00:42:55.020 i was just in a car accident come get me and she hung up the phone this is before we had cell phones

00:43:00.320 couldn't afford a cell phone so we didn't have cell phones um and and i said i'll be right there

00:43:05.700 click hung up the phone where where where are you and i i'm praying about it i gotta get there

00:43:14.920 i gotta get there and immediately i knew exactly where she was but i was new with the spirit and i

00:43:25.040 knew better and so i kept driving that way and i'm like no it's too far it can't be and i'd turn

00:43:30.360 around and i'd go back and i'd go another way she must be on this street she must be on this street 0.55

00:43:33.920 and all the whole time keep going keep going i got onto the highway i went through a toll

00:43:40.860 and i drove about i don't know 100 feet and i went this is too far she wouldn't have been this far

00:43:47.860 and i turn around as it turns out she was about 200 feet ahead and after that experience

00:43:56.900 i really realized there is no such thing as a coincidence a so stop saying it's a coincidence

00:44:03.680 and b if you listen and don't reject it that voice will become strong it wants to help you
