Israel Embassy and DC Prayer Gathering

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,660
Hello everyone, I'm Stephen Strang and welcome to this edition of the Strang report for,

2
00:00:17,660 --> 00:00:25,800
for Thursday, February 1st, 2024. You know, I've been doing this podcast since 2015 for

3
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:31,240
many years, just audio and now video as well. It's kind of interesting to learn and just

4
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:40,160
watch as the, as the audience grows. In fact, I'm up to around 25,000 shares or, or actually

5
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:47,640
likes. We're live and I guess we don't edit out these little mistakes. But if you haven't

6
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:53,320
subscribed, I encourage you to do so. Subscribe below, hit the little bell so that you're

7
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:59,960
notified when we're live every Tuesday and Thursday at 4pm Eastern time. Sometimes when

8
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:04,880
I travel or when things come up, we'll tape something, but then we run it live at that

9
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:10,640
time. You know, I read something recently about Joe Rogan. You probably know him. He's

10
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,640
got the biggest podcast of all time. And of course, everyone who's in the podcast business

11
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:22,240
one wonder what his secret is. Well, probably only he knows the secret, but, but he described

12
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:28,400
it. He just does his podcast on things that interest him sometimes on health, sometimes

13
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:35,520
on politics, sometimes it's funny. Sometimes it's a book author. And as I was listening

14
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,320
to them recite this, I thought, Hey, that's kind of what I do. Or at least it's what I

15
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:47,640
like to do. I like to write or to do a podcast on things that just interests me. I've been

16
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,520
a journalist since I was a teenager. That's counting high school, but I was a teenage

17
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,200
journalist, so to speak. And then I went to the University of Florida, got a degree in

18
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,760
journalism and worked for a number of years in newspaper journalism before I had an idea

19
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:10,320
to start a small magazine called charisma, which became of course a platform and has

20
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,920
opened a lot of doors for me. I've been able to interview, as you probably know, four different

21
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:20,240
events, interview several heads of state, travel the world. And it's been a very interesting

22
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:27,040
ride for nearly five decades, if you can believe it. And with the, in the podcast world, you

23
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,280
know, I'm always getting advice from people. Some of my staff says, you need to do a podcast

24
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,120
on what's trending. And I guess to some extent I do pay attention to what people are interested

25
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:43,080
in, but I'm not doing this to just get likes. I'm doing it because it's part of my overall

26
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:50,640
ministry. What we do here at charisma media is kind of my platform to where I can articulate

27
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:56,000
what's going on or to deal with things that I think are very serious to the body of Christ.

28
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,680
In fact, if you've been following me and probably some of you who are watching have been following

29
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,360
the fact that I've done a couple of podcasts recently on the international house of prayer

30
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:13,880
in Kansas city that is going through a real upheaval, a scandal, so to speak. And I was

31
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:19,840
purposefully very low key about it. But just recently, a report came out in general Kurt

32
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,960
Fuller actually gave me kind of an exclusive last week where he made a statement that they

33
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:32,560
put on, on social media. And then he did an interview with me a few hours later expressing

34
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:39,040
his opinion. Well, I'm not going to talk about Mike Bickle or international house of prayer

35
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,600
Kansas city today, but I just thought I'd mention it because Michael Brown, Dr. Michael

36
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:50,000
Brown, who is one of the most brilliant people I know who is a longtime friend of international

37
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,640
house of prayer Kansas city and has been there to minister several times and has some real

38
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:02,800
insights and also some some opinions. And he agreed to be on my podcast next week. We're

39
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:08,840
still working out the details. Now I want to mention my book Spirit led living in an

40
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:15,200
upside down world. This is my latest book. You can go to Steve Strang books.com and get

41
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:20,720
all of my books, including several that I wrote about Donald Trump, which I will be talking

42
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:27,760
about not today so much, but I just reread God and Donald Trump the first one. And I'm

43
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:33,360
going through some of the others I wanted to remind myself now that the election season

44
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:40,920
is heating up those books sold very well. I did a lot of national media that I'd never

45
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:50,680
done before. I was on Fox several times on CNN on MSNBC twice as I recall, even the

46
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:56,480
New York Times reported on it, believe it or not. And I'll be talking about my books

47
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,200
because many of the issues, in fact, all the issues that I talked about in God and Donald

48
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:07,160
Trump, especially from a spiritual perspective, which is how I write books, they're still

49
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:13,520
valid. But this is not about politics. It's about the upside down world. And that's really

50
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:19,000
what I'm going to talk about today is the upside down world and what we do with it.

51
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:26,120
And I poured myself into this book. I write about the work of the Holy Spirit, how we

52
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:33,120
need the Holy Spirit to deal with the upside down world, both personally just to survive

53
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:39,880
and to thrive, but also to stand up with what's happening in the culture to redo to rebuke

54
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:46,480
the enemy, you know, in our culture, in the world, we see the natural world. That's how

55
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,600
people look at it. There are people who say there is no God. That's their opinion. But

56
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:59,280
you know what? The spiritual world that we don't see is more real than the physical world,

57
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:03,920
the natural world, which we do see. And it's the important part of life because it's the

58
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,880
part that's going to live forever. And that's what I deal with in spirit led living an upside

59
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:14,380
down world. I've talked about it before. We run a little commercial on the podcast. Obviously,

60
00:06:14,380 --> 00:06:20,320
you can buy it on Amazon.com or you can also buy it on our own website, which is called

61
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:25,680
my charisma.com or you can get it at Steve strength books.com. Any book you buy from

62
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:31,840
our company, charisma media on my charisma shop and so forth is signed. I signed a whole

63
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:36,800
bunch of books so that all the orders that come in are signed. Some people like that.

64
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,160
Now I'm going to talk to you about the upside down world because the last two days I was

65
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:50,000
in Washington, DC for two very different but very important meetings. The first one was

66
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:57,400
that the Israeli embassy. It was on Tuesday. And I was invited with about a hundred other

67
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:08,280
leaders for a private screening of a very disturbing film. I call it a film. It wasn't

68
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:16,280
really edited. There was no music. It was raw footage of the atrocities of Hamas that

69
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:23,120
happened on October 7th. Israel was attacked. They say that more Jews were killed in that

70
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:29,040
one day than any day since the Holocaust. But there's people who are actually saying

71
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:34,480
that it was Israel who did the atrocities. And I think they wanted some leaders, most

72
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,200
of them being Christian leaders, some Jewish leaders there as well, to see the raw footage.

73
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:45,560
Some of the raw footage was taken from close circuit TV. Some of it was from body cam footage

74
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,560
from some of the terrorists. They must, I guess, when they killed some of the terrorists,

75
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:57,240
they maybe were able to abscond with it. Some of it was things on social media that the terrorists

76
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:03,560
posted bragging about what they'd done. In fact, they got a cell phone that had a call

77
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:08,800
that was recorded. And it was one of the terrorists bragging to his parents. They had just the

78
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:14,000
audio, of course, but bragging to the parents and they had the translation saying that they

79
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:20,240
would be so proud of him because he had killed 10 Jews. I mean, it was sickening to think

80
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:31,560
that human beings think like that. There were also videos from cell phones from some of

81
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,840
the responders when they came in and there were dead bodies everywhere kind of showing

82
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:42,560
the carnage. They showed one of the dead people head being cut off. This was something that

83
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:48,640
terrorists were bragging about. They told us that they didn't show some of the worst.

84
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,960
They made us leave our cell phones out of the room. We could not bring briefcases in.

85
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:59,000
They were very secretive about the whole thing. I guess they didn't want to fall it into the

86
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:05,240
wrong hands. I think they wanted to alert people and to get their support. Now, as far

87
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:10,680
as I was concerned, everybody in the room was very pro-Israel. That's really why they

88
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:18,600
were invited. I never had any questions about the atrocity, but I had no idea. Even though

89
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:26,680
I had heard about it, I'd read about it, I'd seen some things on TV. It was horrible. In

90
00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:30,880
my whole life, I have never seen anything so gruesome. To think that it was real. Now,

91
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:36,240
I don't really watch blood and guts movies. I just don't. Over time, you see things here

92
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:41,760
and there. I had never seen anything in a movie like that. The few things I've seen

93
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:48,160
on a war never showed that kind of carnage. It's very, very concerning. Probably even

94
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:54,800
worse than the carnage in a way is the way that the world is turning on Israel. It's

95
00:09:54,800 --> 00:10:01,800
just upside down. Here you have terrorists who had a plan to kill men, women, and children.

96
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:07,000
They showed children. They did not show the children being killed. I'm going to get it

97
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:14,600
and show that. They showed a dog being shot. This was just raw footage edited together.

98
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:19,840
They did say at the end that they showed 139 people who had been killed. They said that

99
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:25,600
was about one-tenth of those who were killed all on October 7th. Of course, people have

100
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:32,640
been killed since then. Israel has got to defend itself. These people don't want just

101
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:38,560
a second. It's not a two-state solution. Some people think, well, it's just a political

102
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:45,480
thing. No. They want to eliminate the Jewish people, eliminate Israel. Israel has got to

103
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:52,080
defend itself against this kind of terrorism. Now, that was on Tuesday. I actually flew

104
00:10:52,080 --> 00:11:00,720
up for another meeting on Wednesday, January 31st. It was at the Museum of the Bible. It

105
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:10,080
seated about 500 people. It was totally full. It was a national day of repentance and prayer.

106
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:15,880
It was filmed. In fact, it was live-streamed. It happened so recently that I wasn't able

107
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:24,200
to get any clips of it. I did take a few photographs, but I wasn't really there to report on it.

108
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:31,720
In fact, I took something to take notes. After a while, I decided, you know what? I'm not

109
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:38,680
here to take notes. I'm here to pray. I'm here for spiritual reasons, not journalistic

110
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:43,640
reasons. I did decide that I would share it with you because this is part of my life this

111
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:52,280
week. It was a tremendous event. I think that I can describe it without being too specific.

112
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,360
One of the reasons that I went was that some of the leaders, Jim Garlow in particular and

113
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:02,200
Tony Perkins, had read Jonathan Cohn's book, Halt, Return of the Gods, in which he talks

114
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:12,640
about how these pagan gods encouraged baby sacrifice, the god Bale, drew God's people

115
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,840
away from God. I mean, he goes into it in much more detail than my few comments. Also,

116
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:24,920
there was a goddess of sexuality that had to do with transgenderism, with parades through

117
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:30,560
the street, with the rainbow. It's rather remarkable that some of the things that we

118
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:37,600
see in current society have roots in paganism. Well, paganism was around when Jesus was on

119
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,480
earth. I've been to the part that they call the decapolis, the ten cities. It's kind of

120
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:48,520
between Galilee and the north and Jerusalem in the middle part of Israel. I've been there

121
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:56,200
and seen the ruins of the ancient Greek temple. It was in the decapolis, which the road from

122
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,880
the north to the south went right through the decapolis. It's where Jesus was when he

123
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:07,160
asked his disciples, who do you say that I am? You know that Jesus was very aware of

124
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:13,600
what went on. There was horrible paganism and debauchery that happened even in Israel

125
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:19,720
and Jesus' day. Well, when the early church came, first of all, it was persecuted and the

126
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:28,240
Roman Empire tried to stamp it out. But the Church of Jesus Christ is still here and the

127
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:37,400
Roman Empire, which is arguably the most brutal empire in human history, is totally gone.

128
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:43,640
Those pagan religions are gone too. Jonathan Cahn calls it the biggest exorcism in human

129
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:48,320
history. I never really thought of it that way, but it really was an exorcism because

130
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:54,440
there are no temples to Zeus. There is no worship of these pagan gods in the way that

131
00:13:54,440 --> 00:14:00,320
it was back then. But Jonathan Cahn says that what happened was it was kind of like a vacuum.

132
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:06,040
He says that in our day, these gods, these evil spirits, because we believe they're

133
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:11,360
evil spirits, we believe in spiritual warfare, they've come back. Jesus told a story about

134
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:18,480
a man who was delivered of demons and it talks about the house being swept clean, but they

135
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:23,840
didn't keep it swept clean and the demons came back seven times worse. And Jonathan Cahn's

136
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:33,720
premise, this is over simplification, but his premise is kind of that these evil spirits,

137
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:41,880
these pagan religions, so to speak, are coming back seven times worse than they did before.

138
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:48,440
And when you read Return of the Gods and you need to read it, if you haven't already, it's

139
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:53,080
available everywhere. In fact, it's been out now about a year and a half and it's still

140
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:59,440
continuing to sell almost as well as when it first came out because people are reading

141
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:06,400
the message and it was important to these leaders, Tony Perkins and Jim Garlow, to give

142
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:12,600
a book to everyone there. And so our company donated some books and generous to donor had

143
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,480
already donated water to get the books in the hands of leaders and every person there

144
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:23,640
was given a copy of Return of the Gods. Jonathan Cahn came down from New Jersey and was very,

145
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:31,400
very eloquent in articulating the message of the book. And the first, and he told me later

146
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:36,280
that when he left the stage and the whole, you have to understand this was a five hour

147
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,720
prayer meeting. It was very well organized. I didn't count the people, but there had to

148
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:48,920
be 70 different presenters at least who prayed for different countries, different things

149
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:54,080
in America and so forth. And some of the early ones that prayed were members of Congress.

150
00:15:54,080 --> 00:16:02,120
And the very first one was Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. And he prayed powerfully.

151
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:08,840
He spoke a few words. He is truly a believer by his reputation and of course everything

152
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:15,240
that he says. And there are a number of other members of Congress. Most of them were unknown

153
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:20,080
to me because they come from different parts of the country, but they were obviously all

154
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,360
very concerned about America and they were praying. And really the whole thing was that

155
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:32,600
we were repenting on behalf of our nation and praying for God's mercy so that revival

156
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,840
could come because really the only way we're going to get things turned around is if revival

157
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:43,200
comes back to our country. I was encouraged that there are people in Washington who are

158
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,640
still salt and light. And I think that they were encouraged with the support that they

159
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,680
had there in that room and many, many other people praying. Many people were watching

160
00:16:52,680 --> 00:17:01,400
it on the live stream. There are, I'm going to say millions of people who are praying

161
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:09,440
regularly as I do that God will turn things around in our country because the Bible talks

162
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:16,240
about when good is called right and right is called evil. And those are the days that

163
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:25,240
we are living in and we need America to turn around. And I'm so encouraged that so much

164
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:32,520
prayer is going up. I was encouraged by the response and the enthusiasm. There were a

165
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:38,360
number of people representing their countries who came up and prayed. People flew in from

166
00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:44,120
Europe, several members of parliament, different governmental leaders. One of the most meaningful

167
00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:51,400
times to me other than when the congressmen and a couple of congresswomen were praying

168
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:57,960
was when they had a bunch of Canadians come. And they didn't do introductions, but they

169
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:05,760
just briefly told because we basically didn't know who these Canadians were. And the fines

170
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:12,080
and the arrests and the restrictions that the government has done is absolutely mind

171
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:18,160
boggling. In one case, one of the men had been fined $52 million. And basically what

172
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:24,800
he did was he stood up to some of the COVID mandates about having church. And I mean,

173
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:30,520
it sounds like I'm exaggerating. And later I'm going to probably interview him. His name

174
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:36,960
is Arthur Pavlowski. He's one of the people that I knew beforehand because I've done

175
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:44,680
two podcasts with him. But the thing has accelerated since I even did my podcast and he agreed

176
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:50,240
to do another podcast, which we'll do in the next week or so. We'll do it by zoom. And

177
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:55,560
he is now suing the Canadian government for millions of dollars for violating his rights.

178
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,960
You know, they have rights in Canada too. They don't have a constitution that says iron

179
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:05,360
clad as ours is and their government is ever so much more socialist than ours is. But it's

180
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:10,760
concerning because there's not that much difference routine Canada and the United States and what's

181
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:18,640
happening in Canada could happen here if we don't pray and if we don't work and if we

182
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,920
don't stop it. And I just encourage you, everyone who's watching, you must have some interest

183
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,600
in this or you wouldn't have watched this long. I encourage you to pray. And before

184
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:35,800
this podcast ends, we will pray together and believe for a change in our country. There's

185
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:43,640
many ways we could change one of the ways is at the ballot box. The event I went to yesterday

186
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:49,160
barely, you know, I'm thinking real quickly. I don't remember anything being said by about

187
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:58,680
politics, but there it was an awareness that we who are praying for change have to get

188
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:05,680
act and get out and vote. And and our leaders are not going to bring about the change, but

189
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:10,480
the Bible says to pray for Godly leaders so we can live quiet and peaceful lives. And

190
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:18,280
we've got to get policies in there to shift because right now even the State Department

191
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:24,600
is pressuring other countries for foreign aids and so forth to, to with policies that

192
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:33,840
are leftist policies that are ungodly policies are championed by the Biden administration.

193
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:39,520
And it's just wrong. And a lot of these countries don't want to go along with these woke policies.

194
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,920
If we vote in new leadership, a lot of that will change. There's a lot more that I could

195
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:49,760
say. And as we move toward the election, of course, I will do podcasts on the election,

196
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,560
but it's not my purpose to beat that drum. I, I'm concerned about the spiritual well

197
00:20:54,560 --> 00:21:01,360
being. I'm concerned about you and your spiritual well being just like when it comes right down

198
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:07,440
to it, our relationship with God and how we spend eternity is the ultimate thing, regardless

199
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,640
of whatever happens to everybody else in the world. Now is responsible human beings and

200
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:18,160
responsible Christians. We have to do our part to try to change things. We still have

201
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:23,040
many, many freedoms in this country. We've lost them. But you know what? One of the reasons

202
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:29,360
why we're where we are is because we haven't stood up earlier. So I'm grateful that leaders

203
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:35,800
like Jim Garlow and Tony Perkins have stood up and called this meeting. It was very, very

204
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:43,600
well represented. A lot of major leaders, Steve Green from Hobby Lobby was there, Michelle

205
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:49,560
Bachman. I'm just quickly thinking of some of the names that you might recognize. And

206
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:55,160
you can probably go online. If I thought out ahead, I would have maybe told you maybe we'll

207
00:21:55,160 --> 00:22:00,320
put it down in the remarks below about how you can go and watch the entire thing. I'm

208
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:05,040
sure that it'll be available. If you have the time, it's really probably worth watching

209
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:10,680
the whole thing. It seemed to me that they had a very professional film crew there who

210
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:17,560
I'm sure shot it correctly. I'm honored that they asked us to participate with Jonathan

211
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:25,720
Cahn's book. I hope that it opens people's eyes. I hope it helps get out the word because

212
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:30,760
a lot of people know that something's wrong. They don't really understand it. They don't

213
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,040
really know what to do. And Jonathan Cahn's book called Return of the Gods really does

214
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:41,920
give some answers. And I believe that Jonathan Cahn was led by the Holy Spirit to write that

215
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:50,880
book. So in the last few minutes of this podcast, I went to pray. We pray sometimes on the podcast.

216
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:56,800
It's not really my format. Maybe it should be more, but let's just join together. You

217
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,920
know, you may be watching this later. In fact, we know that most of the people watch it later

218
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:07,320
rather than when it's live. But put your comments down there. Put what you're praying about.

219
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:13,640
And from time to time, I stop and read all the comments and sometimes answer. So put

220
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:18,280
comments down there. And if you have prayer requests, put your prayer request too. But

221
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,960
let's join in prayer together. Father God, we come to you. I come to you in the mighty

222
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:29,040
name of Jesus. Thankful that we can come before God Almighty, that you hear and answer our

223
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:34,280
prayers. And Lord, there are many, many people who are concerned about the direction of our

224
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:40,800
country. And Lord, it's not just our country, but in some ways it's all of Western civilization

225
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:46,720
because America still kind of leads the way and influences what happened. And Lord, it's

226
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:55,080
not just politics. It's not just policies. We need people turning from our wicked ways

227
00:23:55,080 --> 00:24:00,640
and pursuing God. Lord, I just pray that those who are standing for righteousness that you'll

228
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:05,240
make them strong, even some of these people that I mentioned in some of these other countries

229
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:11,080
like Canada, just help them and strengthen them, Lord, while they're standing up for

230
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:19,640
what is right and good. And Lord, we just humbly ask in the name of Jesus for a revival

231
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:27,080
to happen. Lord, we repent of our sins. Lord, forgive us for the sins of our nation. Forgive

232
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:34,200
us for our sins individually. I just pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen. Well, thank

233
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:42,840
you for watching the Strang Report. Please share this with others. Write your comments.

234
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:48,800
Subscribe if you don't subscribe. Hit the little bell. I'm watching our subscriptions

235
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:54,800
grow day by day. We've got some exciting things planned. We will be dealing with the International

236
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:59,080
House of Prayer, Kansas City in a number of ways in the next couple of weeks. I will be

237
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:07,320
interviewing Arthur or Arthur, he says he's Polish, Arthur Pavlowski, and also Dr. Michael

238
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:14,160
Brown. I don't very often announce ahead of time on what's coming up because sometimes

239
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:21,000
we're a little bit serendipity in terms of our podcast, but I think that you'll want

240
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:26,080
to do it. And if you're watching this later, you can, you know, it'll, those podcasts will

241
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:32,200
already be online and you can go watch them after you hear what I have to say. So I'll

242
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:45,000
close by thank you for watching and pray God's richest blessings on you and those you love.
