Donald Trump is back in the United States after his first world tour
Where do we go from here how the church process Donald trump as the president?
Welcome to sky watch TV. A special broadcast today as we got guests in studio the authors of a couple of important books
We'll be talking about on upcoming episodes of Sky Watch TV
The Network program you want to watch for these the first book by a young lady. I'm proud to call friend it is a
Exposition on the epistle of James and what it means for us in the church in America. The book is called radicals
we welcome reverend Donna how anchor and
Gentlemen you may have heard of before because what he was given was a message a word
That five years before the election of 2016 Donald trump would be the president of the United States
retired Farmer minh
And now with a prophetic ministry and his co-author who is a an author and an ordained minister?
The co-authors of the book the trump prophecies, we welcome mark Taylor and Mary Kohlberg welcome you
Again these programs will be broadcast in the beginning and late june and will be for a series of four of them
So you want to keep watch for them, but what I want to start very briefly?
last week Donald trump visited the
the heart of Islam and Riyadh Saudi Arabia shook hands with with King Salman
Many went to Jerusalem met with the prime minister, Netanyahu prayed at the Western Wall the very first u.s.
President sitting us president to pray at the western wall, which is remarkable?
And then went to rome met with Pope Francis
We as a church in the United States
mostly voted for Donald Trump
But what are we doing as a church?
I mean mark how would you characterize the the influence of the church in America today?
And where do you think we as a body are going from here?
the influence of the church today is
Church as most people know it as is very limited right now is the influence of the remnant the army of God?
That's that's what's where the influence is that for the power and authority of that?
Where it's going is going to go more towards the limit towards the army of God?
That's why you're saying is mass exodus on the church people are tired of what's going on in the churches
So that's what's going to bolster, or I think in the days ahead
It's going to be the army of God the remnant
So we get a kind of a negative message from some in the church the the fire and Brimstone, but then you've also got some
Preachers who have a very happy message, but one that people can see doesn't track with
reality high regress hyper Grace or you know God wants you to be happy healthy wealthy and wise and if you if you say
The right prayer believe the right thing you're going to be blessed in all facets of your life
And I think anybody who's lived a while knows that we encounter tribulation, Jesus promised
We'd encounter tribulation, but he's also given us the power of the holy spirit to overcome that tribulation. I mean Mary
Why why do we not see that why do we not get that in the church these days I?
believe you know what happens is we kind of just follow suit to what you're trained to do and
you just you know it's very easy, you're
It's just like with the muslims. You know
They're the children don't believe what they believe
because they personally have a belief they do it because mom and dad believed it and
So a lot of things that we do within the church
we just do it because mom and dad did it like with the you talk to people with a democratic party or
Republican whatever, why are you a democrat? Well my mom and dad
Grandpa and Grandpa, and you know why are you filling the name denomination here, right?
and it we really it's easy to just fall into
instead of
Challenging yourself to thanking why do you think the way you think?
and why do you believe the way you believe in what you believe and what is the
Basis of what you believe it was interesting. I saw an interview with Ted Bundy. Just before he was
Put in the chair and that would really shook me seeing this interview with him because he said in his interview that
He at this point. He had accepted Jesus right he was that born-again and stuff and they said to they said
What happened to you today, because well my mom and Dad were Christians, but they did a real poor job
Telling me I never knew my mom and Dad were Christians I
Was like I said there
And that rattled me because I thought what has happened
To the real gospel of Jesus Christ in this country it has gotten lost somewhere
has gotten lost got watered down it's it's been draped in all kinds of
clothing that doesn't look anything like the gospel was meant to be and
It's a it's a sore distraction from the real thing
It's become a real distraction from the real thing and I think that's what happens you just get in that Mindset mom
Did it dad did it you know her just want that standardized teaching and so they come up with a certain formula on certain?
Doctrines and then they standardize it across all the churches so that I really don't have to think about it
We've got this formula here
If I follow these steps then okay, you can be a book you can be a member of the church right now
I've got some friends now. Who are
Into they are part of an apologetics ministry right teaching the gospel and the reasons why we believe?
and they said you know this is the sad truth, but our churches right now are filled with unbelievers because they think
They're Christians, but they don't know what they don't know right boy. If that is ever the truth now
We are not saying that you shouldn't have pastors right. We are not saying you shouldn't have evangelists
we're not saying that you shouldn't have
Prophets, we're not saying that those things are not important to be positioned within the church pastors are very important
They work they have a very
Needful and a very important role, but what has happened is that?
pastors have made themselves up to be the authority of
Whatever is going to be heard and taught, and they're the filter now of the whole this body of believers
And they have almost set themselves up is a little mini
God in the church instead of a pastor if anybody comes in that is more anointed or more powerful
They never come back
We even saw this back in the first century though the arguments
It's like well some follow apollo some follow Paul some follow up. You know and Paul was like look
I don't care. It's got to get back to the gospel. Yes
Yes, well done in your book radicals you argue that the church which has built up these
rules these these
Denominational standards we in a sense they've almost calcified. You know we've got this plaque in the arteries of the body of Christ
What is your thought?
In the book and what did James think?
Needed to be done in order to kind of break those down and get back to the original message
Jane well, he did. He did a lot of talking about taming the time and
Not per you know not treating the rich man versus the poor man in the vile raiment
with any kind of a
Prejudice. I mean he did what a lot of people would have seen in that culture as a very radical thing to do Jesus well
I mean James was a radical
Jesus Christ was a radical. Yeah
Very anti-establishment. I mean the the
Messiah that they had been waiting for so long to arrive you know this man
Who's going to come in and take down all of rome?
I mean
Jesus was everything he went straight in the face of the pharisees and said this is not
What I represent
And then James came alongside and said hang your tongues
Stop treating the rich man better than the poor man stop
Look like I like I will be addressing here in the upcoming episode the Rahab's of his day
the
Original new Culture new testament Culture would have seen rahab is a very shocking
representation of anybody that could be used for a kingdom perfect fallen woman woman
We stone but but james went as far as to say was she not also justified by Faith when she helped the holy men in
The book of Joshua what he did was he took the ecclesiastical norms and the cultural norms
And he just dropped him and said you guys need to drop everything you need to drop the ball
You need to stop worrying about they didn't have denominations back then the way. We have is now. No, but he was addressing
the early form of
Denominations you guys over here say this you guys over here said little but none of that has to do with the gospel get back
To the gospel get back to the basis. Yeah it was interesting that you know jesus. Yes
He smashed the paradigm, but the paradigm could not include smashing the law of moses
He still told the leper okay?
Go present yourself to the priest and you know be cleansed according to the law
What he was smashing with all the extra human rules that were built up around the law that oh yeah
Jesus the angel of Yahweh gave to moses on Mount Sinai
James in a similar fashion was saying you know you
Gentiles coming in the council of Jerusalem the only rules were going to put on you guys
Don't eat meat with blood don't eat meat. That's been strangled stay alive sexual immorality and
And that's it basically you gentiles all this other stuff our fathers couldn't handle it. We're not going to put that yoke on you either
It wasn't they were they weren't changing what God had defined as sin?
they were just saying all of this other stuff that we built up around it is man-made and
Thus Meaningless, right?
There there has been such
like a shadow government in a sense, that's a good good way of
What I'm thinking of that has happened over the church
There's a lot of pastors leaving the ministry at a tremendous rate, and you have to ask yourself
why would that be happening and it's the
People or it's like a babysitter. I talked to one guy at left the minister goes. I was tired of being a babysitter
I'm not a babysitter, and he goes just like you know they just don't want to grow up
they don't want to mature they they just want to come and get their 30-minute fixed and leave and
And that's basically I feel like what's kind of happened, when they're Christians
I've heard it described as where we're making these Christians
But we're instead of but the Christians and being discipled and do mature adult Christians. We've got
pews congregations filled with infants babies, that's exactly I
Well, I know we want to talk about
strategy and tactics of the church moving forward to try to take ground in this cultural war that we're fighting but
Time is short today. Can we come back and do this again for tomorrow, Karen, all right? Well
I thank you for that because I know this has been a long day as we prepare for these programs coming up
But you'll want to read these books again the trump prophecies by Mark Taylor and Mary Kolbert
Not just a book about the prophecy that mark was given about Donald trump
But what the church does now we've got some breathing space now that we've got a friend in the white house
How are we going to make use of it? And what is it going to look like when we get to that next stage?
