00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,840
This is a Nehemiah moment that we are in right now as President Trump-elect is making announcements
2
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,460
about the people that are going to be working with him in his government.
3
00:00:12,460 --> 00:00:19,580
One of the most interesting positions is the Department of Government Efficiency.
4
00:00:19,580 --> 00:00:25,420
He has announced that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will be working together to strip
5
00:00:25,420 --> 00:00:29,880
the government of a lot of power and a lot of waste.
6
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,520
The businesses that they've run has definitely been a good indicator that they are going
7
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,520
to be able to do this.
8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,920
Dr. Malachi O'Brien, it's great to have you again.
9
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:45,100
I know you're in the airport ready to fly off to some ministry event.
10
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:49,300
In this moment right now, I've been reading through the book of Nehemiah and I feel like
11
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:55,800
this is a prophetic time because Nehemiah is all about rebuilding what was torn down,
12
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,560
rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem.
13
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,120
That was the first thing that happened.
14
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:05,000
As we were talking about what the Lord put on my heart, we said, let's talk about this
15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,440
on camera.
16
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,280
What does this mean to you?
17
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,120
Where do you see some parallels prophetically between Nehemiah and what's happening in our
18
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,280
nation right now?
19
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,000
Great question and great conversation.
20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,240
It's never been more fun to be on X and see who's going to get announced.
21
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,480
I feel like we're at the NFL draft or the NBA draft right now.
22
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,880
Who's going to get announced next?
23
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:33,000
I think even with Mike Huckabee being announced the ambassador to Israel, I thought that was
24
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,920
the biggest news.
25
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:41,840
Now we see the Department of Government Efficiency, which ironically and intentionally is called
26
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:47,080
Doge, which anyone in the crypto space understands Dogecoin.
27
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,360
There's a meme even attached to this movement and this moment.
28
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,400
If we're being honest, it's funny.
29
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,280
I think there's a couple of things at play.
30
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,040
One, in these kind of Nehemiah moments, God uses the people you wouldn't think he would
31
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,040
use.
32
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,880
Number one, we as Christians sometimes we just tell God who he can and cannot use and
33
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,000
God's like, your opinion doesn't really matter that much to me.
34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,960
I have my plan.
35
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,000
I think one, God uses unlikely people, but who are willing.
36
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,320
There's a lot of people watching this right now that God wants to use them in this Nehemiah
37
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,320
moment.
38
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,400
When we get in this conversation, hopefully they can hear from the spirit of God how that
39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,400
can be.
40
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,160
But then these moments are quick moments.
41
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,360
These moments are fast moments.
42
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,240
And I think what we're about to see happen in the next few short days, few short weeks,
43
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,800
few short months, I think it's going to be mind blowing how fast it is.
44
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,000
So this is a prophetic moment and I want people to realize God has two speeds.
45
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,560
Everybody remembers, if you had pen, pencil, lipstick, or mascara, I'd write this down.
46
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,560
God has two speeds.
47
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:43,560
All right?
48
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,560
Two speeds.
49
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,920
Slowly and suddenly.
50
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:47,840
I think we're in a suddenly moment.
51
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:48,960
Yeah, I agree.
52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,800
We are definitely in a suddenly moment.
53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,920
And just from what we've been seeing over the past couple of days, really a couple of
54
00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:01,600
hours even, it definitely seems that things are moving quickly and there's change coming.
55
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:08,760
Now with this department of government efficiency, I think that is just brilliant because I know
56
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:15,840
I look forward every year to Rand Paul's displays of, he pulls up the big cards and is just
57
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,000
talking about government waste.
58
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,720
And there's so much waste out there that it's going to be great to be able to trim the fat.
59
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,420
But I just really appreciate some of the things that with this official statement from President
60
00:03:29,420 --> 00:03:35,040
Donald J. Trump, he said, I am pleased to announce that the great Elon Musk working
61
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,800
in conjunction with American patriot Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the department of government
62
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,760
efficiency.
63
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,060
But they're calling it the Manhattan Project of our time.
64
00:03:46,060 --> 00:03:51,460
And one of the things that I find very, very interesting is they say the last sentence
65
00:03:51,460 --> 00:03:58,200
or so says, their work will conclude no later than July 4th, 2026.
66
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,980
A smaller government with more efficiency and less bureaucracy will be the perfect gift
67
00:04:02,980 --> 00:04:06,780
to America on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
68
00:04:06,780 --> 00:04:08,960
I am confident that they will succeed.
69
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,440
Now to which Elon has also replied, it will be done sooner.
70
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,480
So there's a bit of confidence with this.
71
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:23,040
And so the parallel with Nehemiah is that he took over a project that was totally broken
72
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:29,740
and defunct and was basically, you had Tobiah and Sanballat that were mocking him for even
73
00:04:29,740 --> 00:04:32,380
trying to rebuild this thing.
74
00:04:32,380 --> 00:04:36,080
He got the people together and rebuilt it in 52 days.
75
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,640
He rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem and made them stronger in 52 days.
76
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,440
Then there was more things that had to happen.
77
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,400
But as you're looking at some of the responses from this, because I know you're on X all
78
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,560
the time, what are some of the things that you're seeing and what are you feeling about
79
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,360
this cutting away the fat?
80
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,160
Well, let me give you two examples real quick so we know who we're dealing with here.
81
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,320
Number one, everyone remembers the iconic moment when Elon bought Twitter, which is
82
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,480
now X, and the meme of him taking the kitchen sink.
83
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,880
And people thought, you can't do that.
84
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:16,520
And then he fired 80% of the people at X because it was a waste.
85
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,880
And people thought, oh, you can't do that.
86
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:18,880
It won't work.
87
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:19,960
But now it's working better.
88
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,480
So Elon has the track record of doing this very, very well.
89
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,880
And then you think of Donald Trump.
90
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,560
I remember if people go back to history and study that back in New York City, I would
91
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,520
say 80s be 90s, I'm probably off in my years when there's a skating rink in New York City
92
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,560
that just couldn't be built, couldn't be built, couldn't be done, couldn't be done.
93
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,200
And when Donald Trump got involved, it got done in record breaking time.
94
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,360
And so I do think speed is important.
95
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,040
And I think the response online is it's about time.
96
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,040
It's about time.
97
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,380
Now, the people that don't like it, the sand ballots and debates of the world are the ones
98
00:05:53,380 --> 00:05:57,120
that they do appreciate the waste because they're the ones that benefit from the waste.
99
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,080
The Warhawks benefit from the waste.
100
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,200
The neocons benefit from the waste.
101
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,520
And so here's and the rhinos benefit from the waste, the liberals.
102
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,780
So like we're actually saying, you know what, if we don't do this, though, we don't rebuild
103
00:06:10,780 --> 00:06:12,360
this wall.
104
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,520
We're financially doomed as a nation.
105
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:22,000
Like we're bordering where our interest payments as a nation to our debt is more than our,
106
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,780
I think, our gross.
107
00:06:24,780 --> 00:06:26,120
The numbers are astounding.
108
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,760
So the response online by those that see the need is great.
109
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:37,120
But I would love to be a fly on the wall in the conversations that maybe have some senators
110
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,120
and some representatives really think.
111
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:45,880
I think this terrifies the bureaucracy, the bloated bureaucracy that we have that know
112
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,240
their job is probably on the line.
113
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,440
Their little extra thing is on the line.
114
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,640
There's probably nations of the world that are used to getting free handouts from the
115
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,480
United States that realize, hey, we're not giving free handouts anymore.
116
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,320
And so I think this is a generational changing moment.
117
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,960
It is literally another 1776 moment.
118
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:05,960
And I love it.
119
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,000
It's be a perfect gift for America to know that we're not going to bankrupt our great
120
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,000
grandkids.
121
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,440
Yeah.
122
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,020
And I know that's something that I'm looking forward to, you know, knowing that there's
123
00:07:15,020 --> 00:07:19,440
a brighter future ahead because we're not spending ourselves into oblivion.
124
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:24,480
You know, before we started this conversation recording, you and I started talking about
125
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,840
fasting and literally what they're going to be doing with the Department of Government
126
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,960
Efficiency is a type of fasting.
127
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,960
We're going to be saying no to those things that are hurting us.
128
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:42,560
No to the food, no to the basically we're going to refocus our energies on the Lord
129
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:43,560
whenever we're fasting.
130
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,000
And so this is going to kind of refocus some of the energies to where it needs to be and
131
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,440
hopefully bring some healing and alignment.
132
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,360
Because I know every time that I've done a longer fast, I've done several 21 day fasts,
133
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:01,200
it has brought alignment physically, spiritually, emotionally and mentally.
134
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,600
And it's just always been a good thing.
135
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,720
It's difficult to go through it because you are buffeting your flesh.
136
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,800
You're saying no to your flesh.
137
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:15,120
And in this way, they're saying no to a lot of the bloat in the in the country and all
138
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:20,680
these things that are taking us further away from the calling that God has put on our nation.
139
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,640
Now I know some people say America was never a Christian nation.
140
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:24,640
They're wrong.
141
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:25,640
They're wrong.
142
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:26,640
They're wrong.
143
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,880
You know, I don't I don't care what anybody says.
144
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,240
You look at the founding documents, you look at the journals of the founding fathers, you
145
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:38,180
look at the Mayflower Compact, you look at every type of founding document in this nation,
146
00:08:38,180 --> 00:08:44,480
you see that God is at the center of it and that there is a manifest destiny for this
147
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,840
nation.
148
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,760
We have a purpose and a plan that God has for us.
149
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,280
And it is yet to be fulfilled as yet to even be realized fully to.
150
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,420
And sometimes we got to cut the fat so that we can streamline and we can run the race
151
00:08:57,420 --> 00:08:58,600
that God's called us.
152
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,160
Well, you mentioned fasting.
153
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,620
And I think especially when he's watching right now, I would tell everybody we need
154
00:09:03,620 --> 00:09:05,240
you fasting for our nation.
155
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,480
And obviously the beginning of the new year is that I know a lot of people plan on that.
156
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,560
I know your plan on that.
157
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:14,240
But I can tell you, you know, John, personally, a 40 day fast changed my life in 2010, 2010,
158
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,880
40 day fast, liquid fast changed my life.
159
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,680
And just I encountered more of the presence of God in that fast I had ever had any time
160
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:22,680
before.
161
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:26,200
And I tell people if they want more of God, they need to fast.
162
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,120
And so I'm grateful that we get to do this as a nation because it takes us.
163
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:36,120
And again, people realize the money that our government spends is not it's not the government's
164
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,040
money, it's our money given.
165
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,520
And when we fast, our bodies belong to the Lord.
166
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,640
So in fast, we're saying, Lord, we just want to realignment all back to you.
167
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,240
That's why we fast.
168
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,160
And so I hope people fast and this national everything happening in our nation.
169
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,960
Here's here's kind of my prophetic picture of this.
170
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,560
Everything happening nationally in our government right now is a picture for us spiritually
171
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:02,880
in the church and our denominations in our homes.
172
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,880
OK, wait, they're cutting things out.
173
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:05,880
We need to cut things out.
174
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,160
Oh, they're building walls.
175
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,120
We need to build some walls of protection in our lives.
176
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,760
Oh, wait, they're speaking truth to lies.
177
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:12,960
We need to speak truth to lies.
178
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:18,400
Like there's probably a a parallel to everything we're seeing now in the in the natural in
179
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,480
our nation that would apply to us spiritually in the church.
180
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,560
And that's why I'm looking with with like with wide eyes wide open to what's happening
181
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:27,840
and what does that mean?
182
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:28,840
Yeah.
183
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:29,920
What is God doing in this nation?
184
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:35,760
It's really interesting to see as things are unfolding because you still have Biden and
185
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,320
Harris that are still at the helm.
186
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,960
But we know that there's this transition that is going to be happening.
187
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:48,400
And you know, at noon on January 20th, Donald J. Trump will have his hand on the Bible and
188
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,760
he will take the oath of the office of the president of the United States.
189
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:53,760
It's hard to imagine.
190
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,520
It's hard to imagine, John, the thing about this at the time of this recording, whenever
191
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:57,760
people watch, they can do the math.
192
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:03,760
But at the time of this recording, it was one hundred and twenty three days ago.
193
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,680
Donald J. Trump came within a millimeter of his life being gone.
194
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:14,560
I mean, for Nehemiah, for such a time as this, did God raise him up for such a time as this
195
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:16,600
that God raised up Donald J. Trump.
196
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:21,080
And for such a time as this is God raising up people who are watching this video to go,
197
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,640
you know, you may not be in government, you may not be a pastor.
198
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:29,040
You just may be a praying mama, praying grandma, praying dad, you know, a business owner.
199
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,440
You have part of a wall to build in your life for the sake of your family, your church and
200
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,440
this nation.
201
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,200
Well, let's talk about the family as well, because I know education is one of the big
202
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:44,960
things that Donald Trump has recently put out that he's going to basically dissolve
203
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:50,200
the Department of Education and return that back to the local states, return that power
204
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,960
back to the local states.
205
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,280
And I've heard a few people actually say, well, what does that what does that mean for
206
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,280
me?
207
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,280
How does that affect us?
208
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:03,000
Really, you're not going to be forced to have pro this agenda that has been forced down
209
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,000
our throats.
210
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,640
So modern day modern day government, modern day government indoctrination camps.
211
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,480
That's exactly what public school has become in many states, not all, but many.
212
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,720
They're just modern day indoctrination camps.
213
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:15,720
Yeah.
214
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:20,520
So for the states to have that power again, I mean, you have you have eight children,
215
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,900
you know, you you care about their education, you care about their upbringing.
216
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:29,120
What does that mean to a parent to you as a parent?
217
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,480
As a parent, it makes me know that one, I'll have a little bit more.
218
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,600
The money that I give will be able to be used to get my kids the best education where I
219
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,760
believe it to be, which may not be their local school.
220
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,600
It might be that money they normally get.
221
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,440
We can go somewhere else where to be private school, charter school, home school, Christian
222
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:48,440
school.
223
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:54,040
But we got to realize that the the the the discipling of the next generation happens
224
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,320
the eight hours a day.
225
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,880
They're in school and what they're learning matters.
226
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,560
And so now it goes back to the states, we can actually hold these unions accountable.
227
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:07,720
We can hold our school boards accountable and even more of our state educational system
228
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:08,720
accountable to the curriculum.
229
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,360
But what many of you don't realize, like my son, my son, OK, he was with me at the Trump
230
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,820
victory rally, took a government test just right before his rally.
231
00:13:17,820 --> 00:13:20,840
And they basically want to figure out what party you were and how radicalized you were
232
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,340
in that party.
233
00:13:22,340 --> 00:13:25,720
And so people don't realize that like what their kids are learning in schools, they're
234
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,200
taught that and not every school, they're taught that we're a racist nation.
235
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,800
We're taught that there wasn't a Christian founding.
236
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:37,120
We're taught that Christopher Columbus was an evil person and that it wasn't God's hand
237
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,760
wasn't on America.
238
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:45,200
And so we actually get to have more control and accountability at a state level.
239
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,000
And then that tells people decide maybe I need to move to a different state.
240
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,920
Maybe where I'm at isn't well.
241
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:56,600
And so now it's going to force competition, which is the American way to get better.
242
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,920
And so I think this is the great equalizer.
243
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:04,780
And again, I'm just saying parents watching you, you can't you can't just you can't subcontract
244
00:14:04,780 --> 00:14:11,320
out the discipleship of your kids and grandkids to the government or even to your church.
245
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,880
You have to know what they're learning, why they're learning it and are they applying
246
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,840
to their life.
247
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,200
This is a defeat of parents.
248
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,800
This is your wall to build and it's your wall to build it fast.
249
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:22,800
Yeah.
250
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,680
You know, I really appreciate that.
251
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,360
You know, you're talking about families.
252
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,320
You're talking about kind of a little bit of a legacy there and we need to make sure
253
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,320
that we build that.
254
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,520
Well, there's a little bit of a political legacy that has been a spotlight recently
255
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:42,520
is that the governor, Sarah Sarah Huckabee Sanders, her father, who was the former governor
256
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:49,280
of Arkansas, has now been tapped to be the the ambassador for Israel.
257
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:55,360
Now he is a was a Southern Baptist and he's very, very, very pro Israel.
258
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,880
What is your take on this pic?
259
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,480
Because I know you tweeted about this and you seem excited about this.
260
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:02,480
And I ticked talked about it.
261
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,480
It was breaking news.
262
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,880
One, I mean, one, he was before he was even governor.
263
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,640
Even how he became governor was a miraculous spew.
264
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,320
I know the story of Arkansas, which I once lived there.
265
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,720
Some miraculous how he became the governor.
266
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,960
I think he was lieutenant governor and then became governor.
267
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,800
I got to go back and check how that worked.
268
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:25,400
But the reality was before that, he was a he was a he was a mega church pastor in Arkansas.
269
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,040
He's got his doctorate from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
270
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,000
I mean, so he's a preacher.
271
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,920
He understands the gospel, people being born again.
272
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,720
And he had a love for Israel that came from his understanding of the Bible as a pastor.
273
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:43,760
He was taking people in his church to Israel long before he became governor, long before
274
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:44,760
that happened.
275
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,480
And then and then all the things God's used him for.
276
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,880
So I think it's kind of like ironic in a good way that the Lord would give us someone for
277
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:59,080
Israel that one first and foremost, preaches about the Jesus from Israel for the gospel
278
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,080
whole world.
279
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,720
So I think there's a lot of symbolism in this.
280
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:03,720
And I think he's the best.
281
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,400
I think he's the best pick.
282
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,680
And I was kind of drawn to tears when you if you watch Sarah Huckabee's video, like
283
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,400
talking about her dad, it's just cool.
284
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,400
It's just cool.
285
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,240
And I'll give you one other thing, John.
286
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,880
And I'll tell you maybe the best thing I like about Mike Huckabee.
287
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:17,880
And now this is very controversial.
288
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:18,880
Right.
289
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,040
And I'm trying to be funny, but this is very controversial.
290
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,800
OK, he likes Waffle House.
291
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,800
I think that speaks volumes.
292
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,040
I love Waffle House.
293
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,320
He likes Waffle House.
294
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,160
We've got a great ambassador to Israel.
295
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,160
Yeah.
296
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,160
OK.
297
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,600
I think it's a little bit lower than I expected it to be.
298
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,560
But you know, Israel is a big thing, you know, especially a lot of people in this nation
299
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:43,800
look at Israel.
300
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,520
We know that our biggest ally in the Middle East is Israel.
301
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,160
Israel's biggest ally is the United States.
302
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,960
There's this there's this relationship.
303
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:58,720
You know, the United States was the deciding vote in 1948, where Israel was then officially
304
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,520
basically reestablished as a nation.
305
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,180
And so there is a there's a connection there.
306
00:17:05,180 --> 00:17:07,840
And so we've had good things.
307
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:13,040
We've had bad things with different people who have represented the United States there.
308
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,320
I think this is going to be a good one.
309
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,920
I just want to know what's going to happen with the Huckabee show after this.
310
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,920
So sadly, it's going to have to go away for a while.
311
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:22,920
Yeah, sadly.
312
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:23,920
Yeah.
313
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,680
So but I'm excited about that that pick as well.
314
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,160
I know he fears the Lord.
315
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,460
He loves Jesus.
316
00:17:29,460 --> 00:17:32,640
And that's a good thing, because he loves Jesus.
317
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,800
He's going to love Israel is going to love the people that God that God has called there.
318
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:44,520
So as we're wrapping up here, what are some other picks that you've been excited about?
319
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:49,240
Because I really feel like this is this is a Nehemiah moment where the team is being
320
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,240
assembled.
321
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,440
The walls are being rebuilt.
322
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,320
And it's not just the wall itself.
323
00:17:54,320 --> 00:18:01,160
We also have the Ezra, the priest, you know, the temple, the implements from the temple
324
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:06,980
and the edicts and the laws were basically brought back into order.
325
00:18:06,980 --> 00:18:09,920
There were things that were out of that were basically in chaos.
326
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,720
I mean, people were buying and selling on the Sabbath.
327
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:13,720
And that was a big no, no.
328
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:18,320
In fact, Nehemiah actually said, if you continue to do this, I am going to beat you up.
329
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,720
I mean, that's the John Maddow as a paraphrase version.
330
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,940
But he says the New King James, he said, I will lay my hands on you.
331
00:18:23,940 --> 00:18:26,100
So there's a seriousness to this.
332
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:28,840
But Nehemiah rebuilt the wall.
333
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,720
There was the temple that was rebuilt as well.
334
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,480
So there was other people that were involved with this.
335
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,520
The order is very important that the order.
336
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,440
So before they could rebuild the temple, before they could restore worship in the temple,
337
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,240
the walls had to be rebuilt.
338
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,600
And so I think people need to understand there is a there is a succinctness to our nation
339
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,320
doing what it's doing so that we can see revival in the church and awakening in America.
340
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,720
And so that's why it's never comes down just to one person.
341
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:59,040
People don't realize the election of a president is actually the election of five thousand
342
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,320
other people that will be involved in government to some level of degree.
343
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,440
And so that's that's number one important people to know.
344
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,600
And then part of those appoint that when the president picks somebody, you have to be appointed
345
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:09,600
by Congress.
346
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,560
So that's why the person in the Senate matters a lot, because a lot of times Democrats or
347
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,520
whoever will try to hold up appointments as long as they can.
348
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,520
So this next presidency is going to be probably one or two more, which is a prophetic word
349
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,360
someone else has given to Supreme Court justice.
350
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:26,360
So people need to realize that.
351
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:27,940
Now you asked me about my other picks.
352
00:19:27,940 --> 00:19:35,200
This feels like it's like the 1990 92 92 dream team with Jordan and Charles Barkley.
353
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,900
For anyone who's younger than than us, John, they will never understand.
354
00:19:39,900 --> 00:19:43,040
There's never been a greater basketball team, Kobe.
355
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,840
And they don't come close to that team.
356
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,400
OK, but I would say I had I had the poster in my bedroom, actually.
357
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,000
That's a Jersey.
358
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,320
I loved it.
359
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,040
I would say Marco Rubio.
360
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,160
I think his appointment is pretty powerful because he has he's no hold barred to Hamas.
361
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,760
I mean, there's videos about that.
362
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,440
I think Marco Rubio is going to be great.
363
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:06,800
I think that him electing a female as the chief of staff is actually very important
364
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,440
because obviously you have that famous Mark Cuban video where he said that Trump does
365
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,360
not surround himself with strong women.
366
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:14,520
That's a pretty strong appointment.
367
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,440
And so and then realize that's a tough position.
368
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:22,040
I'm very if you want to the one I'm most excited and waiting to see is who will be the press
369
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,040
secretary?
370
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:28,000
Who will be the press secretary at is has become more of a heightened position than
371
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,000
ever.
372
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,520
You got to remember that was what Sarah Huckabee was, you know, for a season.
373
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,000
And so those appointments encourage me.
374
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,200
I know there's been more have come out.
375
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,920
I'm just those the ones that come to the top of my mind.
376
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,440
It was we're talking here right now.
377
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,160
And I'm sure an hour from now we'll be like, oh, we should have waited.
378
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:50,680
There'll be more people, but it feels like it's it feels like we're just NFL draft.
379
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:51,680
This is round one.
380
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,600
And we haven't seen round two, round three, round four.
381
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,400
Now, I'll finish with this, though.
382
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,840
What I'm most excited about is what something President Trump said at the inaugural National
383
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,680
Faith Summit put on by the National Faith Advisory Board.
384
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,680
And that is there's going to be an office of faith that directly reports to him.
385
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,800
And and there was a similar thing in his last administration, but this one directly poured
386
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:13,800
to him.
387
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,200
There's more power than it had before.
388
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,000
And again, I do believe that Lord willing, the same two people that I know that were
389
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,800
at the helm before will be at the helm again.
390
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,600
And that would be Pastor Paula White, spiritual advisor to the president.
391
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,320
And then honestly, Jenny Korn, who's, you know, in her role.
392
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:36,620
So that office actually excites me the most because it helps get people of faith connected
393
00:21:36,620 --> 00:21:39,520
to the policies that matter because people matter.
394
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,880
So that's actually those two, Paula White, Jenny Korn, those two excite me for what's
395
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:44,880
up ahead.
396
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:45,880
Yeah.
397
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,800
Policies affect people and people matter to God.
398
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,040
And that's what we need to be praying for and praying about.
399
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:57,360
Dr. Malachi, would you pray for these appointments that Donald Trump is making?
400
00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:03,140
The Department of Government Efficiency that they that the rebuilding of the wall the right
401
00:22:03,140 --> 00:22:07,780
way would be done efficient efficiently and effectively.
402
00:22:07,780 --> 00:22:11,440
And all these other appointments that the hand of the Lord would be on the king.
403
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,440
Absolutely.
404
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:13,440
I'm glad we do this at Christman.
405
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,540
Everybody watching online, if you're watching, just leave a comment if you're praying to.
406
00:22:16,540 --> 00:22:18,720
So Holy Spirit, you're our best friend.
407
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,660
And we just we come to you right now and say thank you for what you've done.
408
00:22:22,660 --> 00:22:24,080
Thank you for what you're doing in real time.
409
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,600
I feel like we're living in a world we never could have imagined.
410
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:33,560
But I pray right now for Elon Musk, protect him and his family and in his business as
411
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,440
God, even in this moment, protect him and bless him, God.
412
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,760
I think of the vague Ramaswami.
413
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,280
Bless him and his family and protect him.
414
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:48,040
J.D. Vance and the role he plays, God, protect him and his wife and his family.
415
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,640
God, Mike Huckabee, him and his family, the health of all these individuals.
416
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,200
God, Lord, thank you for just his appointment.
417
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,640
God, thank you for more.
418
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,360
Just again, all that you're doing.
419
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:05,760
I pray for Pastor Paul White and I pray for Jenny Cornyn, this office of faith that will
420
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:11,000
affect, Lord, millions of believers in our nation and around the world.
421
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,800
And Lord, give the president wisdom and the people he puts around him.
422
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:20,360
Lord, we do not want people that would seek to undermine the work that you're trying to
423
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:21,360
do.
424
00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:26,080
And I pray, Lord, you'd surround them with Christians, Lord, Nehemiah's people that know
425
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:31,680
you and have a heart for your people and what you're doing for Israel, for the church, two
426
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:32,680
totally separate things.
427
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,680
You're not you're not down to church.
428
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,440
You're not down to Israel, but put Christians around him and Lord, not people that will
429
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,800
betray him or use him, but people that will serve him.
430
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,720
And Lord, there's a mandate, I believe, yes, in the American people, but a mandate from
431
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,200
heaven that you're not done.
432
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,960
Revival's coming.
433
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:48,960
America will be saved.
434
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,040
Just as Reinhard Bonnke said many years ago, America will be saved.
435
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,480
Just like all the things Kim Clement has said and others have said, the prophetic words
436
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,120
and more importantly, the word of God.
437
00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:00,520
Lord, if my people call to my name, shall humble themselves and pray.
438
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:01,520
That's what we're doing now.
439
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:02,520
We're seeking your face, Lord.
440
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,560
Lord, Lord, and hear from heaven.
441
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,080
You forgive our sin, heal our land.
442
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,080
Please do that.
443
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:13,080
So bless everyone who's watched this video in a special way in Jesus name.
444
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,080
Amen.
445
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,080
Amen.
446
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,680
And just like Nehemiah had his builders working on the wall, they had one hand that was building
447
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,640
and one hand that was ready for the fight because there is an attack coming.
448
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,480
So we as believers, we need to be prayed up.
449
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,240
We need to intercede and pray for what is happening in our nation.
450
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,180
This is not a time to sit back.
451
00:24:32,180 --> 00:24:33,720
This is a time to advance.
452
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:34,880
This is a time to build.
453
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,160
I'm John Maddarazzo with Dr. Malachi O'Brien for Charisma News.
454
00:24:38,160 --> 00:25:03,160
God bless you and we'll see you again real soon.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,840
This is a Nehemiah moment that we are in right now as President Trump-elect is making announcements
2
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,460
about the people that are going to be working with him in his government.
3
00:00:12,460 --> 00:00:19,580
One of the most interesting positions is the Department of Government Efficiency.
4
00:00:19,580 --> 00:00:25,420
He has announced that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will be working together to strip
5
00:00:25,420 --> 00:00:29,880
the government of a lot of power and a lot of waste.
6
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,520
The businesses that they've run has definitely been a good indicator that they are going
7
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,520
to be able to do this.
8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,920
Dr. Malachi O'Brien, it's great to have you again.
9
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:45,100
I know you're in the airport ready to fly off to some ministry event.
10
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:49,300
In this moment right now, I've been reading through the book of Nehemiah and I feel like
11
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:55,800
this is a prophetic time because Nehemiah is all about rebuilding what was torn down,
12
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,560
rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem.
13
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,120
That was the first thing that happened.
14
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:05,000
As we were talking about what the Lord put on my heart, we said, let's talk about this
15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,440
on camera.
16
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,280
What does this mean to you?
17
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,120
Where do you see some parallels prophetically between Nehemiah and what's happening in our
18
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,280
nation right now?
19
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,000
Great question and great conversation.
20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,240
It's never been more fun to be on X and see who's going to get announced.
21
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,480
I feel like we're at the NFL draft or the NBA draft right now.
22
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,880
Who's going to get announced next?
23
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:33,000
I think even with Mike Huckabee being announced the ambassador to Israel, I thought that was
24
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,920
the biggest news.
25
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:41,840
Now we see the Department of Government Efficiency, which ironically and intentionally is called
26
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:47,080
Doge, which anyone in the crypto space understands Dogecoin.
27
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,360
There's a meme even attached to this movement and this moment.
28
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,400
If we're being honest, it's funny.
29
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,280
I think there's a couple of things at play.
30
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,040
One, in these kind of Nehemiah moments, God uses the people you wouldn't think he would
31
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,040
use.
32
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,880
Number one, we as Christians sometimes we just tell God who he can and cannot use and
33
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,000
God's like, your opinion doesn't really matter that much to me.
34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,960
I have my plan.
35
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,000
I think one, God uses unlikely people, but who are willing.
36
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,320
There's a lot of people watching this right now that God wants to use them in this Nehemiah
37
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,320
moment.
38
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,400
When we get in this conversation, hopefully they can hear from the spirit of God how that
39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,400
can be.
40
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,160
But then these moments are quick moments.
41
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,360
These moments are fast moments.
42
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,240
And I think what we're about to see happen in the next few short days, few short weeks,
43
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,800
few short months, I think it's going to be mind blowing how fast it is.
44
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,000
So this is a prophetic moment and I want people to realize God has two speeds.
45
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,560
Everybody remembers, if you had pen, pencil, lipstick, or mascara, I'd write this down.
46
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,560
God has two speeds.
47
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:43,560
All right?
48
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,560
Two speeds.
49
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,920
Slowly and suddenly.
50
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:47,840
I think we're in a suddenly moment.
51
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:48,960
Yeah, I agree.
52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,800
We are definitely in a suddenly moment.
53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,920
And just from what we've been seeing over the past couple of days, really a couple of
54
00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:01,600
hours even, it definitely seems that things are moving quickly and there's change coming.
55
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:08,760
Now with this department of government efficiency, I think that is just brilliant because I know
56
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:15,840
I look forward every year to Rand Paul's displays of, he pulls up the big cards and is just
57
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,000
talking about government waste.
58
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,720
And there's so much waste out there that it's going to be great to be able to trim the fat.
59
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,420
But I just really appreciate some of the things that with this official statement from President
60
00:03:29,420 --> 00:03:35,040
Donald J. Trump, he said, I am pleased to announce that the great Elon Musk working
61
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,800
in conjunction with American patriot Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the department of government
62
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,760
efficiency.
63
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,060
But they're calling it the Manhattan Project of our time.
64
00:03:46,060 --> 00:03:51,460
And one of the things that I find very, very interesting is they say the last sentence
65
00:03:51,460 --> 00:03:58,200
or so says, their work will conclude no later than July 4th, 2026.
66
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,980
A smaller government with more efficiency and less bureaucracy will be the perfect gift
67
00:04:02,980 --> 00:04:06,780
to America on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
68
00:04:06,780 --> 00:04:08,960
I am confident that they will succeed.
69
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,440
Now to which Elon has also replied, it will be done sooner.
70
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,480
So there's a bit of confidence with this.
71
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:23,040
And so the parallel with Nehemiah is that he took over a project that was totally broken
72
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:29,740
and defunct and was basically, you had Tobiah and Sanballat that were mocking him for even
73
00:04:29,740 --> 00:04:32,380
trying to rebuild this thing.
74
00:04:32,380 --> 00:04:36,080
He got the people together and rebuilt it in 52 days.
75
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,640
He rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem and made them stronger in 52 days.
76
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,440
Then there was more things that had to happen.
77
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,400
But as you're looking at some of the responses from this, because I know you're on X all
78
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,560
the time, what are some of the things that you're seeing and what are you feeling about
79
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,360
this cutting away the fat?
80
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,160
Well, let me give you two examples real quick so we know who we're dealing with here.
81
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,320
Number one, everyone remembers the iconic moment when Elon bought Twitter, which is
82
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,480
now X, and the meme of him taking the kitchen sink.
83
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,880
And people thought, you can't do that.
84
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:16,520
And then he fired 80% of the people at X because it was a waste.
85
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,880
And people thought, oh, you can't do that.
86
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:18,880
It won't work.
87
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:19,960
But now it's working better.
88
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,480
So Elon has the track record of doing this very, very well.
89
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,880
And then you think of Donald Trump.
90
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,560
I remember if people go back to history and study that back in New York City, I would
91
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,520
say 80s be 90s, I'm probably off in my years when there's a skating rink in New York City
92
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,560
that just couldn't be built, couldn't be built, couldn't be done, couldn't be done.
93
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,200
And when Donald Trump got involved, it got done in record breaking time.
94
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,360
And so I do think speed is important.
95
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,040
And I think the response online is it's about time.
96
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,040
It's about time.
97
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,380
Now, the people that don't like it, the sand ballots and debates of the world are the ones
98
00:05:53,380 --> 00:05:57,120
that they do appreciate the waste because they're the ones that benefit from the waste.
99
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,080
The Warhawks benefit from the waste.
100
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,200
The neocons benefit from the waste.
101
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,520
And so here's and the rhinos benefit from the waste, the liberals.
102
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,780
So like we're actually saying, you know what, if we don't do this, though, we don't rebuild
103
00:06:10,780 --> 00:06:12,360
this wall.
104
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,520
We're financially doomed as a nation.
105
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:22,000
Like we're bordering where our interest payments as a nation to our debt is more than our,
106
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,780
I think, our gross.
107
00:06:24,780 --> 00:06:26,120
The numbers are astounding.
108
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,760
So the response online by those that see the need is great.
109
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:37,120
But I would love to be a fly on the wall in the conversations that maybe have some senators
110
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,120
and some representatives really think.
111
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:45,880
I think this terrifies the bureaucracy, the bloated bureaucracy that we have that know
112
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,240
their job is probably on the line.
113
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,440
Their little extra thing is on the line.
114
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,640
There's probably nations of the world that are used to getting free handouts from the
115
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,480
United States that realize, hey, we're not giving free handouts anymore.
116
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,320
And so I think this is a generational changing moment.
117
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,960
It is literally another 1776 moment.
118
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:05,960
And I love it.
119
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,000
It's be a perfect gift for America to know that we're not going to bankrupt our great
120
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,000
grandkids.
121
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,440
Yeah.
122
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,020
And I know that's something that I'm looking forward to, you know, knowing that there's
123
00:07:15,020 --> 00:07:19,440
a brighter future ahead because we're not spending ourselves into oblivion.
124
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:24,480
You know, before we started this conversation recording, you and I started talking about
125
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,840
fasting and literally what they're going to be doing with the Department of Government
126
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,960
Efficiency is a type of fasting.
127
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,960
We're going to be saying no to those things that are hurting us.
128
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:42,560
No to the food, no to the basically we're going to refocus our energies on the Lord
129
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:43,560
whenever we're fasting.
130
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,000
And so this is going to kind of refocus some of the energies to where it needs to be and
131
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,440
hopefully bring some healing and alignment.
132
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,360
Because I know every time that I've done a longer fast, I've done several 21 day fasts,
133
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:01,200
it has brought alignment physically, spiritually, emotionally and mentally.
134
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,600
And it's just always been a good thing.
135
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,720
It's difficult to go through it because you are buffeting your flesh.
136
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,800
You're saying no to your flesh.
137
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:15,120
And in this way, they're saying no to a lot of the bloat in the in the country and all
138
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:20,680
these things that are taking us further away from the calling that God has put on our nation.
139
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,640
Now I know some people say America was never a Christian nation.
140
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:24,640
They're wrong.
141
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:25,640
They're wrong.
142
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:26,640
They're wrong.
143
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,880
You know, I don't I don't care what anybody says.
144
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,240
You look at the founding documents, you look at the journals of the founding fathers, you
145
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:38,180
look at the Mayflower Compact, you look at every type of founding document in this nation,
146
00:08:38,180 --> 00:08:44,480
you see that God is at the center of it and that there is a manifest destiny for this
147
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,840
nation.
148
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,760
We have a purpose and a plan that God has for us.
149
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,280
And it is yet to be fulfilled as yet to even be realized fully to.
150
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,420
And sometimes we got to cut the fat so that we can streamline and we can run the race
151
00:08:57,420 --> 00:08:58,600
that God's called us.
152
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,160
Well, you mentioned fasting.
153
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,620
And I think especially when he's watching right now, I would tell everybody we need
154
00:09:03,620 --> 00:09:05,240
you fasting for our nation.
155
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,480
And obviously the beginning of the new year is that I know a lot of people plan on that.
156
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,560
I know your plan on that.
157
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:14,240
But I can tell you, you know, John, personally, a 40 day fast changed my life in 2010, 2010,
158
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,880
40 day fast, liquid fast changed my life.
159
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,680
And just I encountered more of the presence of God in that fast I had ever had any time
160
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:22,680
before.
161
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:26,200
And I tell people if they want more of God, they need to fast.
162
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,120
And so I'm grateful that we get to do this as a nation because it takes us.
163
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:36,120
And again, people realize the money that our government spends is not it's not the government's
164
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,040
money, it's our money given.
165
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,520
And when we fast, our bodies belong to the Lord.
166
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,640
So in fast, we're saying, Lord, we just want to realignment all back to you.
167
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,240
That's why we fast.
168
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,160
And so I hope people fast and this national everything happening in our nation.
169
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,960
Here's here's kind of my prophetic picture of this.
170
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,560
Everything happening nationally in our government right now is a picture for us spiritually
171
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:02,880
in the church and our denominations in our homes.
172
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,880
OK, wait, they're cutting things out.
173
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:05,880
We need to cut things out.
174
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,160
Oh, they're building walls.
175
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,120
We need to build some walls of protection in our lives.
176
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,760
Oh, wait, they're speaking truth to lies.
177
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:12,960
We need to speak truth to lies.
178
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:18,400
Like there's probably a a parallel to everything we're seeing now in the in the natural in
179
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,480
our nation that would apply to us spiritually in the church.
180
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,560
And that's why I'm looking with with like with wide eyes wide open to what's happening
181
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:27,840
and what does that mean?
182
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:28,840
Yeah.
183
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:29,920
What is God doing in this nation?
184
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:35,760
It's really interesting to see as things are unfolding because you still have Biden and
185
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,320
Harris that are still at the helm.
186
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,960
But we know that there's this transition that is going to be happening.
187
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:48,400
And you know, at noon on January 20th, Donald J. Trump will have his hand on the Bible and
188
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,760
he will take the oath of the office of the president of the United States.
189
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:53,760
It's hard to imagine.
190
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,520
It's hard to imagine, John, the thing about this at the time of this recording, whenever
191
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:57,760
people watch, they can do the math.
192
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:03,760
But at the time of this recording, it was one hundred and twenty three days ago.
193
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,680
Donald J. Trump came within a millimeter of his life being gone.
194
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:14,560
I mean, for Nehemiah, for such a time as this, did God raise him up for such a time as this
195
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:16,600
that God raised up Donald J. Trump.
196
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:21,080
And for such a time as this is God raising up people who are watching this video to go,
197
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,640
you know, you may not be in government, you may not be a pastor.
198
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:29,040
You just may be a praying mama, praying grandma, praying dad, you know, a business owner.
199
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,440
You have part of a wall to build in your life for the sake of your family, your church and
200
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,440
this nation.
201
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,200
Well, let's talk about the family as well, because I know education is one of the big
202
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:44,960
things that Donald Trump has recently put out that he's going to basically dissolve
203
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:50,200
the Department of Education and return that back to the local states, return that power
204
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,960
back to the local states.
205
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,280
And I've heard a few people actually say, well, what does that what does that mean for
206
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,280
me?
207
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,280
How does that affect us?
208
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:03,000
Really, you're not going to be forced to have pro this agenda that has been forced down
209
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,000
our throats.
210
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,640
So modern day modern day government, modern day government indoctrination camps.
211
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,480
That's exactly what public school has become in many states, not all, but many.
212
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,720
They're just modern day indoctrination camps.
213
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:15,720
Yeah.
214
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:20,520
So for the states to have that power again, I mean, you have you have eight children,
215
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,900
you know, you you care about their education, you care about their upbringing.
216
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:29,120
What does that mean to a parent to you as a parent?
217
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,480
As a parent, it makes me know that one, I'll have a little bit more.
218
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,600
The money that I give will be able to be used to get my kids the best education where I
219
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,760
believe it to be, which may not be their local school.
220
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,600
It might be that money they normally get.
221
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,440
We can go somewhere else where to be private school, charter school, home school, Christian
222
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:48,440
school.
223
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:54,040
But we got to realize that the the the the discipling of the next generation happens
224
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,320
the eight hours a day.
225
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,880
They're in school and what they're learning matters.
226
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,560
And so now it goes back to the states, we can actually hold these unions accountable.
227
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:07,720
We can hold our school boards accountable and even more of our state educational system
228
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:08,720
accountable to the curriculum.
229
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,360
But what many of you don't realize, like my son, my son, OK, he was with me at the Trump
230
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,820
victory rally, took a government test just right before his rally.
231
00:13:17,820 --> 00:13:20,840
And they basically want to figure out what party you were and how radicalized you were
232
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,340
in that party.
233
00:13:22,340 --> 00:13:25,720
And so people don't realize that like what their kids are learning in schools, they're
234
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,200
taught that and not every school, they're taught that we're a racist nation.
235
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,800
We're taught that there wasn't a Christian founding.
236
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:37,120
We're taught that Christopher Columbus was an evil person and that it wasn't God's hand
237
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,760
wasn't on America.
238
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:45,200
And so we actually get to have more control and accountability at a state level.
239
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,000
And then that tells people decide maybe I need to move to a different state.
240
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,920
Maybe where I'm at isn't well.
241
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:56,600
And so now it's going to force competition, which is the American way to get better.
242
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,920
And so I think this is the great equalizer.
243
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:04,780
And again, I'm just saying parents watching you, you can't you can't just you can't subcontract
244
00:14:04,780 --> 00:14:11,320
out the discipleship of your kids and grandkids to the government or even to your church.
245
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,880
You have to know what they're learning, why they're learning it and are they applying
246
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,840
to their life.
247
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,200
This is a defeat of parents.
248
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,800
This is your wall to build and it's your wall to build it fast.
249
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:22,800
Yeah.
250
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,680
You know, I really appreciate that.
251
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,360
You know, you're talking about families.
252
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,320
You're talking about kind of a little bit of a legacy there and we need to make sure
253
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,320
that we build that.
254
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,520
Well, there's a little bit of a political legacy that has been a spotlight recently
255
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:42,520
is that the governor, Sarah Sarah Huckabee Sanders, her father, who was the former governor
256
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:49,280
of Arkansas, has now been tapped to be the the ambassador for Israel.
257
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:55,360
Now he is a was a Southern Baptist and he's very, very, very pro Israel.
258
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,880
What is your take on this pic?
259
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,480
Because I know you tweeted about this and you seem excited about this.
260
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:02,480
And I ticked talked about it.
261
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,480
It was breaking news.
262
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,880
One, I mean, one, he was before he was even governor.
263
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,640
Even how he became governor was a miraculous spew.
264
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,320
I know the story of Arkansas, which I once lived there.
265
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,720
Some miraculous how he became the governor.
266
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,960
I think he was lieutenant governor and then became governor.
267
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,800
I got to go back and check how that worked.
268
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:25,400
But the reality was before that, he was a he was a he was a mega church pastor in Arkansas.
269
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,040
He's got his doctorate from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
270
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,000
I mean, so he's a preacher.
271
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,920
He understands the gospel, people being born again.
272
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,720
And he had a love for Israel that came from his understanding of the Bible as a pastor.
273
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:43,760
He was taking people in his church to Israel long before he became governor, long before
274
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:44,760
that happened.
275
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,480
And then and then all the things God's used him for.
276
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,880
So I think it's kind of like ironic in a good way that the Lord would give us someone for
277
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:59,080
Israel that one first and foremost, preaches about the Jesus from Israel for the gospel
278
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,080
whole world.
279
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,720
So I think there's a lot of symbolism in this.
280
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:03,720
And I think he's the best.
281
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,400
I think he's the best pick.
282
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,680
And I was kind of drawn to tears when you if you watch Sarah Huckabee's video, like
283
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,400
talking about her dad, it's just cool.
284
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,400
It's just cool.
285
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,240
And I'll give you one other thing, John.
286
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,880
And I'll tell you maybe the best thing I like about Mike Huckabee.
287
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:17,880
And now this is very controversial.
288
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:18,880
Right.
289
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,040
And I'm trying to be funny, but this is very controversial.
290
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,800
OK, he likes Waffle House.
291
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,800
I think that speaks volumes.
292
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,040
I love Waffle House.
293
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,320
He likes Waffle House.
294
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,160
We've got a great ambassador to Israel.
295
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,160
Yeah.
296
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,160
OK.
297
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,600
I think it's a little bit lower than I expected it to be.
298
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,560
But you know, Israel is a big thing, you know, especially a lot of people in this nation
299
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:43,800
look at Israel.
300
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,520
We know that our biggest ally in the Middle East is Israel.
301
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,160
Israel's biggest ally is the United States.
302
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,960
There's this there's this relationship.
303
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:58,720
You know, the United States was the deciding vote in 1948, where Israel was then officially
304
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,520
basically reestablished as a nation.
305
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,180
And so there is a there's a connection there.
306
00:17:05,180 --> 00:17:07,840
And so we've had good things.
307
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:13,040
We've had bad things with different people who have represented the United States there.
308
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,320
I think this is going to be a good one.
309
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,920
I just want to know what's going to happen with the Huckabee show after this.
310
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,920
So sadly, it's going to have to go away for a while.
311
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:22,920
Yeah, sadly.
312
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:23,920
Yeah.
313
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,680
So but I'm excited about that that pick as well.
314
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,160
I know he fears the Lord.
315
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,460
He loves Jesus.
316
00:17:29,460 --> 00:17:32,640
And that's a good thing, because he loves Jesus.
317
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,800
He's going to love Israel is going to love the people that God that God has called there.
318
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:44,520
So as we're wrapping up here, what are some other picks that you've been excited about?
319
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:49,240
Because I really feel like this is this is a Nehemiah moment where the team is being
320
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,240
assembled.
321
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,440
The walls are being rebuilt.
322
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,320
And it's not just the wall itself.
323
00:17:54,320 --> 00:18:01,160
We also have the Ezra, the priest, you know, the temple, the implements from the temple
324
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:06,980
and the edicts and the laws were basically brought back into order.
325
00:18:06,980 --> 00:18:09,920
There were things that were out of that were basically in chaos.
326
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,720
I mean, people were buying and selling on the Sabbath.
327
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:13,720
And that was a big no, no.
328
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:18,320
In fact, Nehemiah actually said, if you continue to do this, I am going to beat you up.
329
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,720
I mean, that's the John Maddow as a paraphrase version.
330
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,940
But he says the New King James, he said, I will lay my hands on you.
331
00:18:23,940 --> 00:18:26,100
So there's a seriousness to this.
332
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:28,840
But Nehemiah rebuilt the wall.
333
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,720
There was the temple that was rebuilt as well.
334
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,480
So there was other people that were involved with this.
335
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,520
The order is very important that the order.
336
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,440
So before they could rebuild the temple, before they could restore worship in the temple,
337
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,240
the walls had to be rebuilt.
338
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,600
And so I think people need to understand there is a there is a succinctness to our nation
339
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,320
doing what it's doing so that we can see revival in the church and awakening in America.
340
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,720
And so that's why it's never comes down just to one person.
341
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:59,040
People don't realize the election of a president is actually the election of five thousand
342
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,320
other people that will be involved in government to some level of degree.
343
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,440
And so that's that's number one important people to know.
344
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,600
And then part of those appoint that when the president picks somebody, you have to be appointed
345
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:09,600
by Congress.
346
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,560
So that's why the person in the Senate matters a lot, because a lot of times Democrats or
347
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,520
whoever will try to hold up appointments as long as they can.
348
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,520
So this next presidency is going to be probably one or two more, which is a prophetic word
349
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,360
someone else has given to Supreme Court justice.
350
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:26,360
So people need to realize that.
351
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:27,940
Now you asked me about my other picks.
352
00:19:27,940 --> 00:19:35,200
This feels like it's like the 1990 92 92 dream team with Jordan and Charles Barkley.
353
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,900
For anyone who's younger than than us, John, they will never understand.
354
00:19:39,900 --> 00:19:43,040
There's never been a greater basketball team, Kobe.
355
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,840
And they don't come close to that team.
356
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,400
OK, but I would say I had I had the poster in my bedroom, actually.
357
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,000
That's a Jersey.
358
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,320
I loved it.
359
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,040
I would say Marco Rubio.
360
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,160
I think his appointment is pretty powerful because he has he's no hold barred to Hamas.
361
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,760
I mean, there's videos about that.
362
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,440
I think Marco Rubio is going to be great.
363
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:06,800
I think that him electing a female as the chief of staff is actually very important
364
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,440
because obviously you have that famous Mark Cuban video where he said that Trump does
365
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,360
not surround himself with strong women.
366
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:14,520
That's a pretty strong appointment.
367
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,440
And so and then realize that's a tough position.
368
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:22,040
I'm very if you want to the one I'm most excited and waiting to see is who will be the press
369
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,040
secretary?
370
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:28,000
Who will be the press secretary at is has become more of a heightened position than
371
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,000
ever.
372
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,520
You got to remember that was what Sarah Huckabee was, you know, for a season.
373
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,000
And so those appointments encourage me.
374
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,200
I know there's been more have come out.
375
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,920
I'm just those the ones that come to the top of my mind.
376
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,440
It was we're talking here right now.
377
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,160
And I'm sure an hour from now we'll be like, oh, we should have waited.
378
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:50,680
There'll be more people, but it feels like it's it feels like we're just NFL draft.
379
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:51,680
This is round one.
380
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,600
And we haven't seen round two, round three, round four.
381
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,400
Now, I'll finish with this, though.
382
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,840
What I'm most excited about is what something President Trump said at the inaugural National
383
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,680
Faith Summit put on by the National Faith Advisory Board.
384
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,680
And that is there's going to be an office of faith that directly reports to him.
385
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,800
And and there was a similar thing in his last administration, but this one directly poured
386
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:13,800
to him.
387
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,200
There's more power than it had before.
388
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,000
And again, I do believe that Lord willing, the same two people that I know that were
389
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,800
at the helm before will be at the helm again.
390
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,600
And that would be Pastor Paula White, spiritual advisor to the president.
391
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,320
And then honestly, Jenny Korn, who's, you know, in her role.
392
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:36,620
So that office actually excites me the most because it helps get people of faith connected
393
00:21:36,620 --> 00:21:39,520
to the policies that matter because people matter.
394
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,880
So that's actually those two, Paula White, Jenny Korn, those two excite me for what's
395
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:44,880
up ahead.
396
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:45,880
Yeah.
397
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,800
Policies affect people and people matter to God.
398
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,040
And that's what we need to be praying for and praying about.
399
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:57,360
Dr. Malachi, would you pray for these appointments that Donald Trump is making?
400
00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:03,140
The Department of Government Efficiency that they that the rebuilding of the wall the right
401
00:22:03,140 --> 00:22:07,780
way would be done efficient efficiently and effectively.
402
00:22:07,780 --> 00:22:11,440
And all these other appointments that the hand of the Lord would be on the king.
403
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,440
Absolutely.
404
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:13,440
I'm glad we do this at Christman.
405
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,540
Everybody watching online, if you're watching, just leave a comment if you're praying to.
406
00:22:16,540 --> 00:22:18,720
So Holy Spirit, you're our best friend.
407
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,660
And we just we come to you right now and say thank you for what you've done.
408
00:22:22,660 --> 00:22:24,080
Thank you for what you're doing in real time.
409
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,600
I feel like we're living in a world we never could have imagined.
410
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:33,560
But I pray right now for Elon Musk, protect him and his family and in his business as
411
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,440
God, even in this moment, protect him and bless him, God.
412
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,760
I think of the vague Ramaswami.
413
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,280
Bless him and his family and protect him.
414
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:48,040
J.D. Vance and the role he plays, God, protect him and his wife and his family.
415
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,640
God, Mike Huckabee, him and his family, the health of all these individuals.
416
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,200
God, Lord, thank you for just his appointment.
417
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,640
God, thank you for more.
418
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,360
Just again, all that you're doing.
419
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:05,760
I pray for Pastor Paul White and I pray for Jenny Cornyn, this office of faith that will
420
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:11,000
affect, Lord, millions of believers in our nation and around the world.
421
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,800
And Lord, give the president wisdom and the people he puts around him.
422
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:20,360
Lord, we do not want people that would seek to undermine the work that you're trying to
423
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:21,360
do.
424
00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:26,080
And I pray, Lord, you'd surround them with Christians, Lord, Nehemiah's people that know
425
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:31,680
you and have a heart for your people and what you're doing for Israel, for the church, two
426
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:32,680
totally separate things.
427
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,680
You're not you're not down to church.
428
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,440
You're not down to Israel, but put Christians around him and Lord, not people that will
429
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,800
betray him or use him, but people that will serve him.
430
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,720
And Lord, there's a mandate, I believe, yes, in the American people, but a mandate from
431
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,200
heaven that you're not done.
432
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,960
Revival's coming.
433
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:48,960
America will be saved.
434
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,040
Just as Reinhard Bonnke said many years ago, America will be saved.
435
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,480
Just like all the things Kim Clement has said and others have said, the prophetic words
436
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,120
and more importantly, the word of God.
437
00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:00,520
Lord, if my people call to my name, shall humble themselves and pray.
438
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:01,520
That's what we're doing now.
439
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:02,520
We're seeking your face, Lord.
440
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,560
Lord, Lord, and hear from heaven.
441
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,080
You forgive our sin, heal our land.
442
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,080
Please do that.
443
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:13,080
So bless everyone who's watched this video in a special way in Jesus name.
444
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,080
Amen.
445
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,080
Amen.
446
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,680
And just like Nehemiah had his builders working on the wall, they had one hand that was building
447
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,640
and one hand that was ready for the fight because there is an attack coming.
448
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,480
So we as believers, we need to be prayed up.
449
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,240
We need to intercede and pray for what is happening in our nation.
450
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,180
This is not a time to sit back.
451
00:24:32,180 --> 00:24:33,720
This is a time to advance.
452
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:34,880
This is a time to build.
453
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,160
I'm John Maddarazzo with Dr. Malachi O'Brien for Charisma News.
454
00:24:38,160 --> 00:25:03,160
God bless you and we'll see you again real soon.
