Summary

Pastor Randy Coggins II and his wife, Carrie, seem to have a kid every time I turn around. He is an incredibly effective apostle for the Lord. And back when I was going through the tribulation of the Russian Collusion hoax in which I was put through a Soviet-style show trial, despite the fact that I had actually done nothing wrong, I was being prosecuted because essentially I refused to bear false witness against my friend of now 50 years, Donald Trump.

00:00:00.000 The Stone Zone, on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:00:06.140 Welcome back.
00:00:07.260 You're back in the Stone Zone.
00:00:09.040 Yesterday in the Stone Zone, I interviewed Callie Means.
00:00:13.600 His sister, Dr. Casey Means, was appointed Surgeon General of the United States yesterday.
00:00:22.220 And their book, which is entitled Good Energy, The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism
00:00:28.500 and Limitless Health, which I read about two years ago, changed my life in a very big way.
00:00:35.140 It changed everything about my diet and a lot about my lifestyle.
00:00:39.920 But the man I want to interview and bring on now changed my life in a far more profound way.
00:00:46.760 That is my good friend, Pastor Randy Coggins, Randy Coggins II.
00:00:52.960 Now, Randy and his wife, Carrie, seem to have a kid every time I turn around.
00:00:56.700 He's a growing family.
00:00:58.540 He is an incredibly effective apostle for the Lord.
00:01:03.360 And back when I was going through the tribulation of the Russian collusion hoax
00:01:11.200 in which I was put through a Soviet-style show trial,
00:01:14.980 despite the fact that I had actually done nothing wrong,
00:01:17.980 I was being prosecuted because essentially I refused to bear false witness
00:01:24.040 against my friend of now 50 years, Donald Trump.
00:01:28.360 It was a very trying time for me and my family.
00:01:33.900 I admit to you that time came when I realized that I would not get a fair trial,
00:01:40.360 that I was going to be both unconstitutionally gagged,
00:01:43.980 so I couldn't even defend myself, but also lynched by a hateful judge,
00:01:51.140 a biased jury forewoman, and a rigged D.C. jury.
00:01:57.400 That's not conjecture, by the way.
00:01:58.980 That was actually proven.
00:02:00.880 We learned that the jury forewoman in my trial,
00:02:04.600 who said during jury selection and the trial,
00:02:07.560 she knew nothing about me, never heard of me, wasn't familiar with the case.
00:02:11.140 In fact, she'd been attacking me and President Trump by name
00:02:15.440 on both her Twitter and her Facebook pages for a full year,
00:02:20.620 19 months actually, before she was selected as a juror
00:02:24.600 and the jury forewoman in my trial,
00:02:26.440 but she had those attacks on me by name
00:02:29.200 regarding the very case in which she was selected
00:02:32.220 on a private setting,
00:02:34.320 so my lawyers in due diligence could not find them.
00:02:39.180 In any event, time came when I hit rock bottom,
00:02:43.520 and it was Pastor Randy Coggins
00:02:46.160 who relentlessly urged me to turn my burden over to the Lord.
00:02:51.880 It was Pastor Randy Coggins who arranged the meeting
00:02:56.080 with Reverend Franklin Graham
00:02:58.420 that really did change my life.
00:03:01.640 Up until that time, many, many pastors, priests, rabbis,
00:03:07.920 and other clerics were urging me to change my life,
00:03:12.320 to turn this horrific burden and stress over to the Lord,
00:03:16.340 but I wasn't feeling it.
00:03:18.180 I wasn't hearing it.
00:03:19.640 That was until Randy Coggins set up this fateful meeting
00:03:23.740 with Reverend Franklin Graham,
00:03:26.480 and of course I was still thinking politically.
00:03:28.940 I said, you know, Pastor Graham,
00:03:32.900 I really think that I'm going to be destroyed here,
00:03:37.260 that I'm going to be lynched,
00:03:38.540 and I wondered if you could put in a good word for me
00:03:41.160 with the president regarding executive clemency
00:03:44.500 since my lawyers would no longer let me talk to Donald Trump,
00:03:48.780 nor would Donald Trump's lawyers let him talk to me.
00:03:53.440 And Franklin Graham said,
00:03:57.220 well, I'll see what I can do about that,
00:03:59.860 but let me give you a much better piece of advice.
00:04:02.500 You need to turn your burden over to the Lord.
00:04:06.460 You need to confess your sins and get right with God,
00:04:09.860 and I guarantee you, he said,
00:04:11.660 Randy Coggins was there,
00:04:12.940 I guarantee you the Lord will lift you up.
00:04:15.180 He will deliver you from your persecutors.
00:04:17.440 And then Randy Coggins and I went out into this open field
00:04:22.500 with several thousand other Christians,
00:04:25.360 and the time came in his oration that Pastor Graham said,
00:04:32.000 Reverend Graham said,
00:04:33.020 I don't care whether your problem is alcoholism
00:04:35.580 or gambling addiction or drug addiction
00:04:38.740 or family problems or health problems
00:04:40.920 or financial problems.
00:04:43.640 If you turn your burden over to the Lord,
00:04:45.860 if you confess your sins and get right with God,
00:04:48.040 the Lord will lift you up.
00:04:50.200 And those who want to live with our Heavenly Father forever,
00:04:53.620 rise now and along with me,
00:04:57.260 confess your sins and you will be saved.
00:05:00.020 And in that moment,
00:05:02.200 thanks to the urgings of Randy Coggins
00:05:04.220 and to Franklin Graham,
00:05:05.980 I stood in an open field with 200, 300 other Christians.
00:05:10.500 I confessed my sins and everything in my life changed.
00:05:13.620 And I was, of course, delivered from my persecutors,
00:05:17.260 ultimately after going through hell in a D.C. rigged trial.
00:05:22.620 But when President Donald Trump understood
00:05:25.820 that I was being persecuted and prosecuted
00:05:29.160 simply because of my refusal to lie
00:05:31.880 and bear false witness against him,
00:05:34.120 he accumulated my sentence
00:05:35.520 and later gave me a full and unconditional pardon
00:05:39.920 Christmas of 2020.
00:05:44.520 Pastor Randy Coggins,
00:05:45.860 God bless you and welcome to the Stone Zone.
00:05:49.400 Roger, thank you so much.
00:05:50.700 It's an honor to be back.
00:05:52.360 And I'm grateful to have a small part
00:05:55.580 of what God has done in your life for sure.
00:05:58.820 So thank you for having me on the Stone Zone today.
00:06:00.660 I appreciate it.
00:06:01.360 You know, what's amazing to me is,
00:06:03.340 and I've told that story again,
00:06:04.960 of course, because we have a limited amount of time here,
00:06:07.160 I gave the shortened version of it,
00:06:08.860 but you were relentless,
00:06:10.480 just relentless in urging me to take refuge in the Lord
00:06:14.360 and turn my burden over to the Lord.
00:06:16.340 I don't know that I would have ultimately done that,
00:06:19.040 but when I came out publicly
00:06:21.660 and announced that I'd had this change in my life,
00:06:25.860 Washington Monthly mocked me.
00:06:28.720 I mean, they mocked me,
00:06:32.320 said this is some kind of a head fake,
00:06:34.980 this is some kind of an act,
00:06:36.440 this is some kind of a public appeal for sympathy.
00:06:39.940 So I've said many times,
00:06:41.160 I don't really care what they think,
00:06:42.840 I only care what he thinks.
00:06:46.320 And it is a blessing.
00:06:49.440 You are a blessing.
00:06:50.700 How many children do you have now?
00:06:52.860 We have four.
00:06:53.900 We have four now.
00:06:55.200 Four children now.
00:06:56.120 The oldest is nine and the youngest is one.
00:07:00.080 But to go back on what you were saying, though,
00:07:03.660 it's amazing how none of this was planned
00:07:05.940 as far as me and you,
00:07:08.620 our connection, relationship,
00:07:10.780 what God's done in your life.
00:07:12.600 I was sitting in Miami, Florida,
00:07:15.220 at my wife's grandparents' home
00:07:18.680 the morning of when the FBI raided your home.
00:07:22.080 And at that point, I had never met Roger Stone.
00:07:26.600 And I watched, I saw the CNN footage,
00:07:29.240 I saw everything, and I said,
00:07:30.520 hey, this is not right.
00:07:31.840 And I knew from that moment,
00:07:33.580 I felt God spoke to me and said,
00:07:36.800 you need to go after this guy
00:07:39.260 because he needs my help.
00:07:41.840 And from that moment,
00:07:43.780 we connected in Sarasota and God did the rest.
00:07:47.360 And so I'm super, super grateful
00:07:49.120 to be a part of the journey
00:07:50.380 with you and Edie and your family, for sure.
00:07:53.240 Well, your wife, Carrie, is also a pastor.
00:07:55.780 She's a wonderful woman.
00:07:56.760 You have a beautiful family.
00:07:58.620 And we consider you family.
00:08:01.420 I do think that there's a spiritual revival
00:08:04.200 going on in America.
00:08:05.500 You can see it.
00:08:07.200 You can feel it.
00:08:08.840 It transcends politics, to say the very least.
00:08:14.280 Again, I notice, and I've started,
00:08:17.980 I'm new in my faith journey.
00:08:20.420 I'm new in my faith walk,
00:08:21.740 but I'm getting more and more familiar with the Bible.
00:08:26.100 And I used to think it was just some kind of outdated,
00:08:29.600 you know, book of fables.
00:08:31.880 The language was hard to understand.
00:08:33.920 And now I understand,
00:08:36.300 and I've got one of these Bibles
00:08:37.800 that gives you a guide
00:08:38.900 that helps you put the language
00:08:43.760 in more common, everyday idiom,
00:08:46.260 makes it more understandable.
00:08:48.380 But I now realize that the Bible
00:08:50.280 is an incredibly practical book,
00:08:52.680 that it really addresses virtually any problem
00:08:55.720 or any issue in which you might be curious.
00:08:59.300 It has really become a very important part of my life.
00:09:03.460 There's a very good friend who's a pastor in Canada.
00:09:06.940 I think he gets up at like five o'clock in the morning
00:09:09.300 and he picks out one important part of the Bible
00:09:12.740 for me to read that day.
00:09:15.940 And that's how I start my day,
00:09:17.640 every single morning.
00:09:19.360 And then I still, as a Catholic,
00:09:21.320 I still say the rosary at night.
00:09:22.820 And there are specific people that I'm praying for
00:09:26.880 who may be going through issues,
00:09:28.940 health issues or other issues.
00:09:30.480 So I pray for them.
00:09:32.080 It's an important part of my life.
00:09:34.640 If you told me this 15 years ago,
00:09:36.380 I would never, ever have believed it.
00:09:39.340 Yeah.
00:09:40.520 Yeah.
00:09:41.260 The Word of God is an incredible resource.
00:09:44.660 And it's something that you said,
00:09:46.420 it transcends time.
00:09:48.240 It transcends politics.
00:09:50.720 And it's amazing how you can read
00:09:52.860 one passage of scripture one day,
00:09:55.060 but then read it several days later
00:09:57.040 and then something else pops out at you.
00:09:59.200 So it's an amazing thing.
00:10:01.980 It's a living thing.
00:10:04.160 It says in the Bible that the Word is the same
00:10:05.660 yesterday, today, and forever.
00:10:07.000 It never changes.
00:10:08.400 So it's a powerful, powerful tool.

00:10:29.600 Randy, I want to tell us about your family
00:10:32.820 because you come from a long tradition of pastors.
00:10:37.720 Yeah.
00:10:38.480 My parents going into my great-grandparents,
00:10:42.480 all Pentecostal preachers,
00:10:44.440 and was raised at a pastor's home,
00:10:47.540 and I accepted,
00:10:50.540 I felt the call to preach at a very young age.
00:10:54.540 At the age of 12 years old,
00:10:56.200 I was in a revival service
00:10:57.840 at my father's church in northeast Georgia,
00:11:00.620 and I had what I call
00:11:02.660 a super spiritual experience.
00:11:05.540 And it was at that moment,
00:11:06.500 I told God,
00:11:06.980 whatever you want me to do,
00:11:07.980 I'll do,
00:11:08.360 whatever you want me to say,
00:11:09.300 I'll say,
00:11:10.140 and wherever you want me to go,
00:11:11.340 I'll go.
00:11:11.780 And I always tell people,
00:11:12.900 be very careful
00:11:13.580 when you tell God that
00:11:15.360 because he just might make you do it.
00:11:17.420 And that is exactly what happened in my life.
00:11:20.800 And I had a semi,
00:11:22.080 if you want to call it,
00:11:23.460 semi-normal teenage years,
00:11:26.360 middle school, high school,
00:11:27.260 and all that stuff,
00:11:27.960 but I knew that there was a call
00:11:29.360 in my life.
00:11:31.300 And right after high school,
00:11:33.240 I started really digging in
00:11:35.220 to that call,
00:11:36.900 seeking the face of God for my life,
00:11:39.000 and stepped into full-time ministry
00:11:41.260 on the road from 2014 to 2020.
00:11:45.420 I was an itinerant evangelist
00:11:47.780 and preached 80 to 100 dates a year
00:11:50.440 all across the nation,
00:11:51.960 all across the world,
00:11:53.160 television, radio,
00:11:54.440 different churches,
00:11:55.160 from non-denominational churches
00:11:57.900 to independent churches
00:11:59.160 to kind of all sides of the aisle there.
00:12:03.240 And then in 2020,
00:12:05.580 I began pastoring.
00:12:07.240 And now we are pastoring
00:12:09.340 outside of Atlanta, Georgia,
00:12:11.200 the campus pastor
00:12:11.980 of Seven Springs Church
00:12:12.980 in Lithia Springs, Georgia.
00:12:14.480 And I'm super excited.
00:12:15.880 This summer will be
00:12:19.260 my 11th year in full-time ministry.
00:12:22.300 And God is blessing us
00:12:24.320 during the season.
00:12:24.960 And so I'm super grateful
00:12:26.420 about everything that we've seen
00:12:28.320 in ministry this far.
00:12:31.340 I cannot tell you
00:12:32.900 how impressed I continue
00:12:35.320 to be with Franklin Graham.
00:12:37.880 As you know,
00:12:39.040 as a very young man,
00:12:40.260 I met Billy Graham
00:12:41.120 when I was working
00:12:41.760 for President Richard Nixon.
00:12:43.560 I actually still have
00:12:44.740 an autographed Bible,
00:12:46.660 a signed Bible
00:12:47.380 that Billy Graham gave me then.
00:12:49.000 and it's right on the bookshelf
00:12:51.360 next to a Bible
00:12:52.260 that Franklin Graham gave me
00:12:53.740 when I was saved more recently.
00:12:57.760 When you add these
00:12:59.340 to the literally hundreds of Bibles
00:13:04.260 that people have mailed me,
00:13:06.560 that is the truth.
00:13:08.940 Those are two of my prouted possessions.
00:13:11.060 He's done amazing,
00:13:13.640 amazing work,
00:13:14.440 particularly the charitable work,
00:13:15.920 particularly when you had
00:13:17.480 these natural disasters
00:13:18.580 in North Carolina.
00:13:20.620 I mean,
00:13:21.060 again,
00:13:22.560 Franklin Graham
00:13:23.300 is not his father.
00:13:25.100 He has his own
00:13:26.520 individual style,
00:13:28.600 but he's an extremely
00:13:30.080 effective apostle
00:13:31.320 for the Lord,
00:13:32.320 and he's doing great,
00:13:33.620 great public works.
00:13:35.960 Absolutely.
00:13:36.840 Absolutely.
00:13:37.820 It's Samaritan's Purse.
00:13:40.760 Amazing organizations.
00:13:42.460 Amazing organizations.
00:13:43.780 And going back
00:13:44.760 to what you said,
00:13:45.560 though,
00:13:45.720 we are truly
00:13:46.420 in a spiritual revival.
00:13:49.760 I believe that
00:13:50.660 within our nation,
00:13:52.600 but not just within our nation,
00:13:53.840 but around the world.
00:13:55.640 We saw just the other day
00:13:58.080 the Catholic Church.
00:14:01.260 We saw a brand new pope
00:14:03.780 come to light.
00:14:05.720 Pope Leo.
00:14:07.600 And so we are in
00:14:08.760 very, very interesting times.
00:14:11.140 And I think
00:14:11.520 not just interesting times,
00:14:13.020 but exciting times,
00:14:15.640 I believe,
00:14:16.760 in the body of Christ
00:14:18.500 as a whole.
00:14:20.080 Well,
00:14:20.700 as a Catholic,
00:14:23.120 the jury is out
00:14:24.420 on the new pope.
00:14:25.240 I'm very hopeful.
00:14:26.940 I was a critic,
00:14:28.260 in all honesty,
00:14:29.560 of Pope Francis.
00:14:31.360 I did not like the fact
00:14:32.880 that he brought
00:14:34.040 Cardinal Theodore McCarrick,
00:14:37.280 who was exposed
00:14:38.480 as a vicious pedophile,
00:14:40.060 back to the Vatican
00:14:42.160 as an advisor.
00:14:43.860 I particularly
00:14:44.580 didn't like the fact
00:14:45.440 that Pope Francis
00:14:48.040 reached an accommodation
00:14:49.320 with the Chinese Communist Party
00:14:51.100 that essentially
00:14:51.740 allowed them
00:14:52.780 to veto
00:14:53.980 who could be a bishop
00:14:55.500 or a priest
00:14:56.360 in China.
00:14:57.000 I think accommodation
00:14:58.580 with evil
00:14:59.520 is evil.
00:15:01.120 And Chinese communism
00:15:02.400 is one of the most brutal,
00:15:04.180 most evil regimes
00:15:05.300 in the history
00:15:06.520 of man.
00:15:07.820 I really objected
00:15:10.360 to that.
00:15:11.180 I also
00:15:11.920 did not like
00:15:13.520 the fact
00:15:15.480 that the church
00:15:16.280 was never
00:15:17.060 critical
00:15:17.900 of radical
00:15:19.260 Islam.
00:15:20.080 I'm hoping,
00:15:21.900 more importantly,
00:15:23.080 however,
00:15:23.320 that the new
00:15:24.140 pope
00:15:25.320 will recognize
00:15:26.280 that matters
00:15:27.240 such as the issue
00:15:28.460 of illegal immigration,
00:15:30.240 political matters,
00:15:31.360 are outside
00:15:32.360 his responsibilities
00:15:33.960 as the leader
00:15:35.140 of the church.
00:15:35.940 I mean,
00:15:36.440 as a Catholic,
00:15:37.880 there's a time
00:15:38.420 when the pope
00:15:39.020 speaks,
00:15:39.960 a catheter,
00:15:40.600 he speaks
00:15:41.120 from the throne
00:15:42.860 of Peter,
00:15:43.500 he speaks
00:15:44.020 in the voice
00:15:44.620 of God.
00:15:45.500 The other times
00:15:46.200 when he's issuing
00:15:47.100 opinions
00:15:47.740 that sometimes
00:15:48.560 I think
00:15:49.300 are inappropriate.
00:15:51.780 This new pope
00:15:52.960 has criticized
00:15:53.860 President Trump,
00:15:54.980 Vice President Vance.
00:15:56.520 I do not think
00:15:57.520 that is his role.
00:15:58.800 We're going to be back
00:15:59.520 for more discussion
00:16:00.580 of the new pope
00:16:02.060 and also this great,
00:16:03.800 I think,
00:16:04.780 religious revival
00:16:06.320 that's happening
00:16:06.840 in America
00:16:07.340 with my good friend
00:16:08.560 Pastor Randy Coggins
00:16:09.660 on the other side.
00:16:10.760 Don't go away.
00:16:11.500 We'll be right back
00:16:12.220 in the Stone Zone.
00:16:13.440 And we're back
00:16:14.300 in the Stone Zone.
00:16:15.140 We're talking to
00:16:15.760 Pastor Randy Coggins.
00:16:17.420 Randy Coggins
00:16:18.100 is really
00:16:18.700 the real reason
00:16:20.460 that I am redeemed
00:16:21.800 in the blood
00:16:22.260 of the cross.
00:16:23.540 He changed my life
00:16:25.060 and I'm proud
00:16:25.980 to call him my friend.
00:16:27.040 He's almost like a,
00:16:28.100 he is like a member
00:16:29.320 of my family.
00:16:30.940 And we're talking
00:16:32.100 about this great revival
00:16:33.300 that I think
00:16:33.680 is going on
00:16:34.560 in America.
00:16:35.460 Tough question
00:16:36.000 for you, Randy.
00:16:37.220 And that is,
00:16:38.440 and many Christians
00:16:39.660 disagree about this,
00:16:40.580 but I'm interested
00:16:41.160 in your view
00:16:41.680 on the role
00:16:42.820 of prophecy
00:16:43.820 in the church.
00:16:45.060 along with the Bibles
00:16:46.780 given to me
00:16:47.340 by Billy Graham
00:16:48.520 and Franklin Graham,
00:16:49.480 I have the personal
00:16:50.440 Bible of Kim Clement.
00:16:52.000 Kim Clement was
00:16:52.760 a famous Christian prophet,
00:16:54.900 had many,
00:16:55.580 many prophecies
00:16:56.740 that turned out
00:16:57.340 to be eerily accurate.
00:16:59.600 And I know
00:17:00.960 different people
00:17:01.600 disagree about this,
00:17:02.680 but your view
00:17:03.520 of prophecy
00:17:04.160 in the church?
00:17:06.920 Yes,
00:17:07.560 the role
00:17:09.160 of prophecy
00:17:11.620 in the church
00:17:12.560 I believe
00:17:13.940 as a Pentecostal believer
00:17:16.200 is still
00:17:18.080 very,
00:17:18.540 very active today.
00:17:20.840 Something about
00:17:21.600 prophecy
00:17:22.000 is prophecy
00:17:22.500 reveals God's heart
00:17:23.880 and God's intentions.
00:17:26.620 If you look
00:17:27.340 up the word prophecy,
00:17:28.340 prophecy
00:17:28.680 is simply
00:17:30.420 a divine communication
00:17:31.920 from God
00:17:33.440 to his people.
00:17:34.420 When we read
00:17:35.220 the word of God,
00:17:35.960 we read that happening
00:17:37.100 numerous times,
00:17:38.640 numerous places
00:17:39.440 from quote-unquote
00:17:42.680 God's prophets.
00:17:44.900 Now,
00:17:45.600 we live in a time
00:17:46.760 where just because
00:17:48.080 someone necessarily
00:17:49.220 calls themselves
00:17:49.960 a prophet
00:17:50.420 doesn't make them
00:17:51.120 a prophet.
00:17:52.700 That's why
00:17:53.560 God instructs us
00:17:55.020 in the word of God.
00:17:55.900 You test the words.
00:17:57.720 You test the words
00:17:58.920 that people give.
00:18:00.420 You either accept them
00:18:02.060 for what it is
00:18:03.340 or you don't accept
00:18:04.420 it for what it is.
00:18:05.260 So it reveals his heart,
00:18:06.660 his plans,
00:18:07.260 his purposes.
00:18:09.440 And in scripture,
00:18:11.300 though,
00:18:11.540 prophecy often
00:18:12.120 served to warn,
00:18:14.500 correct,
00:18:15.160 encourage,
00:18:15.680 and guide.
00:18:17.360 But one thing
00:18:18.400 about prophecy
00:18:19.000 is prophecy
00:18:19.600 always points
00:18:20.440 to Jesus as well.
00:18:22.120 Revelation chapter 19
00:18:23.300 verse 10 says
00:18:24.120 the testimony of Jesus
00:18:25.320 is the spirit
00:18:26.800 of prophecy.
00:18:28.120 So true biblical prophecy
00:18:29.920 always glorifies Jesus
00:18:31.520 and always aligns
00:18:32.640 with his word.
00:18:33.820 It always leads people
00:18:34.940 towards him,
00:18:35.700 not away from him.
00:18:37.280 So prophecy
00:18:38.260 builds,
00:18:38.820 encourages,
00:18:39.520 and it strengthens
00:18:40.620 the church.
00:18:41.260 But prophecy
00:18:41.860 also warns of judgment,
00:18:44.480 calls of repentance.
00:18:46.300 It prepares the church
00:18:48.180 as a whole,
00:18:48.860 not just one specific church
00:18:50.720 or one specific denomination
00:18:52.160 or affiliation,
00:18:54.400 but it prepares the church
00:18:55.300 for what's ahead.
00:18:56.720 But again,
00:18:57.440 like I said,
00:18:58.160 prophecy must be tested
00:18:59.260 and rooted in scripture.
00:19:00.360 It says in 1 Thessalonians
00:19:03.240 chapter 5 verses 20
00:19:04.360 through 21,
00:19:05.400 it says,
00:19:05.840 do not treat prophecies
00:19:06.880 with contempt,
00:19:08.000 but test them all.
00:19:09.340 Hold on to what is good.
00:19:10.800 So a word may be powerful
00:19:12.000 or emotional,
00:19:13.160 but it's not prophetic
00:19:14.320 unless it aligns
00:19:15.540 with scripture
00:19:16.020 and aligns
00:19:17.120 with the character of Christ.
00:19:18.280 So that's my two cents
00:19:20.500 on prophecy.
00:19:22.100 Well,
00:19:22.340 that was the perfect answer.
00:19:24.560 Look,
00:19:24.820 I'm a Catholic
00:19:25.620 who believes in prophecy.
00:19:27.100 I followed Kim Clement.
00:19:28.340 Kim Clement said
00:19:29.700 the giant
00:19:30.580 would be brought down
00:19:32.240 by a simple stone.
00:19:33.320 Remember that name.
00:19:34.220 Now I want to be clear.
00:19:35.260 I'm not claiming
00:19:35.840 to be a prophet.
00:19:36.760 I'm not claiming
00:19:37.200 to be a saint.
00:19:37.920 That's for sure.
00:19:38.980 I am merely a soldier
00:19:40.400 in God's army,
00:19:41.440 but I will do his will.
00:19:43.060 And it is only thanks
00:19:44.340 to Pastor Randy Coggins
00:19:46.220 and to Reverend Franklin Graham
00:19:48.120 that I changed my life
00:19:50.080 and I'm proud
00:19:50.740 of my belief in Christ.
