When you want it, you want it. KMBZ On Demand from the Voice of Kansas City News Radio. Sandra Day O'Connor.
the first woman ever to serve on the high court, has turned in her letter of resignation, bringing her career on the high court to an end. Let's go to the White House. Good morning.
I have directed my staff to compile information and recommend for my review potential nominees who will faithfully interpret the Constitution and laws of our country. And I believe as Christian citizens of this country that we should be actively involved in this historic moment. And if the church across this country, believers, can come together and take a stand, I think it's going to have a powerful, powerful impact on this process. We dare not sleep through this point of decision because, frankly, future generations depend on us. Pray urgently that God's perfect will will be done.
We are engaged today in what they call culture war. We didn't start it, but we, by his grace, are going to end it. And we should say, yes, we want to reclaim America for Christ.
Up in the pulpit, this mean-spirited message, us against them. And that's what the religious right is doing in the United States now. It is dividing this country.
All right, we have Tyree in Hillside, Illinois, listens on WCPT. What do you have on your mind? I'm a Christian. I'm a Bible-believing Christian. Somehow, these guys don't jive with the Christianity and what I've learned.
I mean, there's an authoritarian kind of way about them, and there's nothing gentle, there's nothing compassionate. To me, there's nothing... Christian about them. I mean... It's upside down.
I mean, yeah, I've been raised a Christian all my life. I think that's probably the thing that upsets me most about what's happening. Yeah, none of it really makes any sense to me.
So there's some new brand of religion out there that somehow things have changed since Matthew wrote about Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus told us to be peacemakers. And right now, everything they do, they say they do in the name of God. That we need to go to war in the name of God.
They're being told that George Bush, of all people, is a holy man who's been anointed with the job of creating a Christian society, not just in America, but all over the world. You and I know that's bull. There's this entanglement of politics with religion.
What kind of lesson is that for our children? There's never been a generation like this one. The earth is filled with the dead and dying, and spirit and a body.
But now is the time for the glory of the Lord to cover the earth as the water covers the seas. Now is the time! We prophesy to these dry bones, arise! Now is the time!
Speak the word of the Lord! The Lord, the Lord, the Lord, the Lord is I, I am The Lord, the Lord, the Lord, the Lord is I, I am I am the one made of I made a generation, I said I made a generation from this side, from this side. He will shake the nations! He's alive! He's alive!
Alright, thank you for coming. That is great. Wow!
I have no idea how many people are here today. I'm told the auditorium will hold about 500, so we're doing pretty good, aren't we? Okay, listen, moms and dads, I want to tell you about some of the things we have in the bookstore.
We have a school of events. evangelism and unfortunately this one doesn't sell quite as much because people for whatever reason that I guess they think this is a going to be a door knocking uh manual and it's not there's a hands-on manual in the back that teaches you how to do it his kids how to actually start a conversation with their friends and how to win the lost. Another thing that I wanted to announce is our camp coming up in August and it's just gonna be an incredible time.
We've got brochures on the camp sitting in the bookstore. You need to pick one up and begin praying about whether or not you can get there this year. Okay?
Boys and girls, I need everybody sitting up straight hands holding smiling faces. faces looking right this way. Is there anyone in here that believes that God can do anything? God can do anything. We can just say, God, fix the world.
How many of you know that this is a pretty sick old world? This is a sick old world. Well, then let's just fix it.
Somebody get your tools out and let's just fix this old world. Kids, you've got to change things. We've got too many Christian grown-ups that are fat and lazy.
They don't want to give up their evening meal. They don't want to fast for a three-day fast or a 40-day fast or whatever. Do you know Muslims train their children from the time they're five years old to fast during the month of Ramadan?
Listen. We hold the keys. We can change the world.
Boys and girls can change the world? Absolutely. Absolutely. Let's stand to our feet. Hallelujah.
I need you to get serious, serious with God. Say, God, I'm here to be trained. I'm here for an education.
I'm willing, God. I'll do what you want me to do. I'll say what you want me to say. In Jesus'name. Amen.
If you don't open your mouth, the Holy Spirit can't talk. All right, now I want everyone to raise your hands, and we're going to pray in tongues. Hallelujah.
Let's do it. Oh, we love you, Jesus. Oh, we love you, Jesus.
Oh, we love you, Jesus. Oh, we love you, Jesus. Oh, we love you, Jesus. Oh, we love you, Jesus.
Oh, we love you, Jesus. Oh, we love you, Jesus. Holy Spirit, fall.
He's here. Feel his power. Feel his power. This is you, doctor.
And the Holy Spirit is just going to whisper in your ear what to say. You have the answer. Don't stop.
Don't stop! Don't stop! This is the greatest day of your life!
Next to the day you don't see it! She's not in a trance. She's not out of it. She's very aware of what's going on.
She's just hooking up with the spirit. She's just staying focused. I can go into a playground of kids that don't know anything about Christianity, lead them to the Lord in a matter of just no time at all, and just moments later they can be Seeing visions and hearing the voice of God because they're so open. They are so usable in Christianity.
If you look at the world's population, one-third of that 6.7 billion people are children under the age of 15. One-third. Where should we be putting our efforts? Where should we be putting our focus? I'll tell you where our enemies are putting it.
They're putting it on the kids. They're going into the schools. You go into Palestine and I can take you to some websites that will absolutely shake you to your foundations and show you photographs of where they're taking you.
They're taking their kids to camps like we take our kids to Bible camps, and they're putting hand grenades in their hands. They're teaching them how to put on bomb belts. They're teaching them how to use rifles.
They're teaching them how to use machine guns. It's no wonder, with that kind of intense training and discipling, that those young people are ready to kill themselves for the cause of Islam. I want to see young people who are as committed to the cause of Jesus Christ as the young people are to the cause of Islam.
I want to see them as radically laying down their lives for the gospel as they are over in Pakistan and in Israel and Palestine and all those different places, you know, because we have, excuse me, but we have the truth. I would say there's a friendlier environment now in the United States towards Christianity than there has been in my lifetime. And a lot of it has to do, just in the last few years, has to do with President Bush.
He has really brought some real credibility to the Christian faith. He's been very open, blatantly open about his faith in God. This moment right now today is a fulfillment of prophecy. We've got to stand up and take back the land.
Hey listen, I just wanted to get to know you guys more. Now both of you came with Mark, right? And he's your children's pastor? But you're not related to him, right?
No, he's coming to our camp this summer. Are you guys coming too? To North Dakota?
You are coming? Totally cool. Is your whole family coming or just you guys? I think just us. Awesome.
Like my brother, my twin brother. Okay, I want to know more about you guys. How long have you been a Christian? I've been a Christian.
I was at five. I got saved. Yeah?
Because I just wanted more of life. because there was just nothing that I thought was fun. You thought at five years old there was nothing fun?
Yeah. Really, already? Five years old. So what do you think this camp is going to be like?
What are you expecting? What are you expecting God to do for you? What am I expecting God to do for me? Yeah, camp.
I think, oh, at camp, um, at camp, I think God's going to, you know, get me used to meeting other people because I have a hard time with that. I can't believe that. I'm shy. You're shy.
Can't believe it. Except for when things are happening in the Holy Spirit. Yeah, then you're not shy at all. You guys are great.
Really appreciate you coming. Can't wait to see you again this summer. Give me a hug. All right.
Good to meet you, Taryn. Good to meet you, Levi. We'll talk to you later. Okay. Bye-bye.
Time of creation, Garden of Eden, approximately 6,000 years ago. Was it an explosion? Did we come from a glob of goo?
Ugh. Ugh. I don't think so.
It's been said that we are the result of an explosion. Is this true? Is this scientific?
Or is it just based on a belief? Levi. Levi. Come here. I need to be near you.
All right, let's go over some things. One popular thing to do in American politics is to note that the summers in the United States over the past few years have been very warm. As a result, global warming must be real. What's wrong with this reasoning?
It's only gone up 0.6 degrees. Yeah, it's not really a big problem, is it? No. I don't think that it's going to hurt us.
It's a huge political issue, global warming is, and that's why it's really important for you. to understand. Is evolution too? Um, not really.
Creationism? Um, it's becoming one now. What if you had to go to a school where the teacher said creationism is stupid and you're stupid if you believe in it? I think they Well, or what if you had to go to a school where your teacher said, evolution is stupid, and you're stupid if you believe in it. I wouldn't mind that.
You wouldn't mind it. If you look at creationism, you realize it's the only possible answer to all the questions. That's exactly what Dad said. It's the only possible answer to all the questions. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. Yes. Yes. Did you get to the part on here where it says that science doesn't prove anything?
And it's really interesting when you look at it that way. It is. It is. All right. All right.
I think personally that Galileo made the right choice by giving up science for grace. God didn't say have children and give my kids to someone else for eight hours a day. And if I can homeschool them, as well as the school can public school them, why would I send them somewhere else for eight hours a day?
hours a day. Our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian values. We know when things started changing.
You know, prayer got taken out of school, and the schools started falling apart. And now the rest of us are going, wait a minute, where is my country? Our firm belief is there are two kinds of people in the world.
People who love Jesus and people who don't. And I want my kids to grow up knowing, you know what, it's a good thing to be a Christian. Tomorrow, Glenn Thomas gives us a first-hand perspective from Christian Marines involved in Operation Iraqi Freedom in his book, God Saw Them Through.
So tomorrow ought to be very interesting. We'll see you back here then. We'll be playing our twisty.
Well, I mean, that doesn't have a rate. Why are kids taught that global warming doesn't exist? Okay, why?
Look, rape this world, rape this earth, take everything you want from it, because you know what? It doesn't matter. We're not here for very long. Christ is coming to take us away from earth, so cut down our trees.
Use all of our oil. Take advantage of everything that the earth has to offer. That's why you hear them getting involved with issues like global warming.
You want to shake them, and you want to say, what is it you're not understanding about the fundamentals of Christianity? Christianity. How did you get here? Our president is still telling Americans that we should teach creationism in our schools, that we should teach it right alongside with evolution.
I think we've become absolutely complacent in this, and I think that they're accomplishing exactly what they want. Do you know what's happening in Kansas? Oh, I know.
I saw that. Oh, they have to teach intelligent design right along with Darwin's evolution. Well, think about that.
You've got 600,000 children that are being lied to. There is no conflict between the two. And that religion is not science.
We have a population, 25% of the American population right now, describe themselves as evangelicals. That's about 80 million people. They're very tenacious, and they elbow their way into positions of power in America. That is the M.O. of...
of a group that is committed to, like I say, building a government that they're comfortable with. In the end, it's going to come like a thief in the night. There's this slow chipping away at the separation between church and state.
His dad was buried. Three days later he rose from the dead. Wasn't Jesus only a man?
No. Jesus Christ is Almighty God. Rachel, it's your turn.
I know. Go ahead, Rachel. Here you go, Rachel.
Strike. Yeah, yeah. Get a strike this time. Jesus, Jesus, your spirit will help me to make this one a good one.
I command you, in the name of Jesus, to make a good hit. Alright, ready? This side of it's a goal. Okay. Keep doing a curve like that.
Try to start it. Um, God's just telling me that He, you're on His mind and He just wants to take you and He just wants to love on you and He has special plans for you and your life and He just wants you to... and be able to follow him with your whole heart. Thank you.
You're welcome. Appreciate it. Welcome.
Wow. You saw her and you just felt like God told you to go over there. Yeah, I waited a little bit, you know, to be sure, you know what I mean?
It kept coming to your heart? Uh-huh, and afterwards I felt like I had picked the right one. All right, good job, Rachel.
I'm going to be obedient. I like bowling ministry, there we go. When I grow up, I just, I always thought it would be kind of fun to be one of those, like, people who paint nails and stuff, because you would get a chance to tell them about the Lord.
I mean, just relaxing Christian music in the background, you know, doing it, you know what I mean? just be really relaxing and they would just be able to kind of they weren't having many walls at that second you know and they would just be able to accept you know I've been teased several times and I've just thought to myself to myself, man's decision, whatever. God's decision, something. They think I'm weird?
Go ahead. You're not the ones who are going to be judging me if I'm going to go to hell or heaven. God is. It matters what he thinks of me.
It doesn't matter what you think. This is my favorite part. My favorite kind of music is like Christian, heavy metal, rock and roll. It focuses and the basis is towards Jesus.
And some of the songs don't actually say like Jesus or our Lord or stuff like that. But they do have a Christian basis and it is focused towards him. So that's why I like Christian. And but really Britney Spears and like Lindsay Lohan and stuff, people like that, I could definitely care less about. them because their songs are mainly based on either like guys or girls and we as Christians I do not believe in that.
Victoria Yeah. Can you wrap it up in about five minutes so I can feed you? Yeah.
When I dance, I really have to make sure that that's God, because people will notice when I'm just dancing for the flesh. And I do that sometimes, and I must admit that I really need to get over that. So I'm not the only one who makes up. People out there...
You're not the only one who makes that mistake. Can you have a cookie? You can have a cookie. Okay.
All right, let's do the Pledge of Allegiance first now that everybody is... before we get on to something else. Jenny, Christian, will you stand up, please?
Okay. I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, to whose Savior, to whose Kingdom it stands, one brotherhood, united all Christians in unity and in love. Okay, turn on the Bible. I pledge allegiance to the Bible, God's holy word. I will make it a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
I will hide this word in my heart that I might not sin against God. Very good, everybody. I look at it, and George does too, is our children are on loan to us from God.
And someday we're going to have to answer to God how we raised our children. And I'm like, Lord, you've given me this daughter, and how am I supposed to train her? What am I supposed to do now, right?
And I'd bring her to places where she can learn this. We're from Becky, from Pastor Carol, from different people. But the Lord told me what you need to train her in is train her about character.
Where are you going? I just have to stand up and wait. Okay.
Okay, you stood on the rain. I didn't get wet yet. Well, I don't want you to get soaked and wet. Victoria, turn around and go back inside now, thanks. Okay, I have to get hit ten times by drops of rain for ten years.
You're very funny. Tori, okay, let's go get your stuff packed. Come on.
So anywho, yep, getting all ready for camp. Okay. Tori, we need to get out your sleeping bag.
You need a Bible, pen, and a notebook. Flashlight. Oh, your Breathe Prophesy dance stuff.
Right. All right, did you find the leotard yet? Check in your, yeah, check in there. Let's just walk in among the pews and stuff and and just pray over the seats. Yeah.
Yeah. In the name of Jesus, we just speak over every person that's sitting in these chairs this week. And we Lord, we just asked it to be covered with the blood of Jesus. Open hearts, Lord. Open hearts.
Father, we pray over the electrical systems. We pray over the electricity will not go out in this building in Jesus name because of storms or any other reason. I just pray over this equipment. We speak over the PowerPoint presentations. the video projectors and we'll say devil we know what you love to do in meetings like this and we say you will not in Jesus name you will not prevent this message from going out no microphone problems in Jesus name in the name of Jesus we speak that Father, we just ask you in the mighty name of Jesus that this will be a defining moment in their lives.
Father, I pray that Jesus will be glorified on this camp. Alright, I'm... I can't...
J.C. Jesus Christ is in the house today. When he's in your life, you want to dance.
We're kicking it, we're kicking it for Christ. Dance. Hey homie, we're kicking it for Christ.
Dance. It's Jesus Christ, he's in the house today. Woo! Give yourself a big, big hand.
Good evening. Good evening. You made it. How do you guys like the hair?
Fingernails? The eyebrows? And the rest of me. See, we're talking this week.
about how the devil uses tactics to destroy our lives. The first tactic that he uses is to tempt you with sin. You see, when you first start out as a kid, particularly, because that's when all this stuff starts, When you start out as a kid, sin just doesn't seem like that big of a deal.
It looks kind of cute, in fact. Warm and fuzzy. But sin is designed to destroy you. And you feed this baby long enough, and he's going to grow in your life until you got yourself a tiger by the tail, and you don't know which end is up. And what used to seem very innocent now controls your life.
The devil goes after the young. Those who cannot fend for themselves. That's why we're trying to help you. We're trying to warn you.
And while I'm on the subject, let me say something about Harry Potter. Warlocks are enemies of God. And I don't care what kind of hero they are, they're an enemy of God.
And had it been in the Old Testament, Harry Potter would have been put to death. You don't make heroes out of warlocks. This is a generation that's going to stand for purity and righteousness and holiness, and you're going to serve the Lord all the days of your life. And we declare all those things over you. I believe this so much that I have given my whole life to see to it that you get there.
I sense in my heart tonight what I heard the Lord say is that there's some kids here Say they're Christians, they go to church all the time, but you're one thing once you're at church and you're another thing when you're at school with your friends. You're a phony and a hypocrite. You do things you shouldn't do. You talk dirty just like all the other kids talk dirty.
And it's time to clean up your act. Come up here and get washed. Because we can't have phonies in the army of God.
If that's you, put your hands up here. Whoa, baby. Wash your hands. Father, we just wash them with the water of your word.
We say no more, devil. No more. Say it, boys and girls, in the name of Jesus. You know exactly what you need to repent of. Name it.
Name it out loud. Name it. What do you need to be forgiven of? No more wishy-washy!
No more hypocrisy! Now you go somewhere and pray and you start doing some repenting here! I haven't got much to say. I just wanted to talk about belief in God and I've had a hard time doing it. It's just really hard to do this.
Just simply, even God is really hard because you don't see him. You don't really know him much. Sometimes I don't even believe what the Bible says.
It makes me a faker. It makes me feel guilty and bad because God has always talked to me about that. And I kind of rejected him. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, Somebody die.
Oh, scary. The dark, dark house was a dark, dark hallway. And the dark, dark hallway was a dark, dark room.
And the dark, dark room was a dark, dark staircase. Ouch. Everybody in their bed?
I'm not. Alright. I'm not going to do it. I'm a workaholic. I'm not that wild about ghost stories, okay?
Some of them are a lot of fun, but they don't maybe honor God. And, you know, God says to focus on those things that bear truth and those things that have beauty. Focus on the good things and the things of God, okay?
Here we go. Lights out, guys. What time is breakfast?
Eight. My hair is still wet. God just created humans that ate from the tree of knowledge, good and evil, resulted in sin and death.
I got some dripping with blood here somewhere. There, that looks better. And I want to move these later.
That's better. This generation particularly is a sight and sound generation. And so it's very difficult for them to sit down with a book and a tablet and pencil and try to learn the way we've learned.
They learn visually. They learn by demonstration. They learn by... And so here's our Adam and Eve in that great and just a good old Canon Barbie doll.
And so we talk about how they walked and talked in the Garden of Eden with God. But when God breathed into man to the breath into his nostrils. So the breath of life, at that point, man became a living soul.
Now, I tell the kids, if you want to become a stronger Christian and have your spirit man be strong, there's certain things you need to do. If you pray every day, your spirit man will get stronger. If you go to church and learn more about God, your spirit is going to get stronger.
If you don't read the Bible... Come on, it's got a squeak. Ah, wrong balloon. Your spirit will get weaker.
So, for instance, we have a brain mold because one of the sessions is going to be talking about our minds and how they need to be renewed towards the Word of God. This is really fun because you can make a jello mold that looks like a brain. And then you just talk about how things stick to our minds.
And we use these sticky fingers. And so this would represent dirty thoughts. This would represent swear words. Because this was rude. represent things that we've seen on TV or whatever that we've heard and it sticks to our minds and Then you're supposed to slap it.
I don't know if it's slap It's gonna stick very good, but well there it's sticking to there it sticks to your brain and that's very effective for kids So I mean there's different things that we've gotten but that's what I do I just look around I walk around the toy sections of stores or I'll see something and I'll go That really would work good for You know, so I come in I come in with 20 object lessons and I preach for an hour. And people, other children's ministers are going, preaching to an hour for kids and they feel sorry for the kids. You don't need to feel sorry for my kids. They know exactly, you know, they're getting it. They're getting it.
Pray again. All right. God, we just thank you for this food this morning. We just ask you, Father, to bless it.
And Lord Jesus, we plead your blood over our sins and the sins of our nation. God, end abortion and send revival to America. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.
Mom, doesn't he look like Harry Potter? Mom. Here. Shhh. Shhh.
Shhh. Shhh. I can't watch it because it has witchcraft. Well, my mom doesn't want me to watch any of the movies because they're witchcraft, but I watch it with my dads.
This is Becky Fisher. This is Becky Fisher, live and in color. Look at the new hair style. She's the number one cover lady for children's ministry worldwide. Praise God.
It's almost like being on the cover of Rolling Stones. So far, camp has been awesome. I love being in the presence of God.
God is not in every church. There is such a thing as a certain church. They're called dead churches, and the people there, they sit there like this.
We worship you, God. We worship you, God. They sing like three songs, then they listen to a sermon.
Churches that God likes to go to are churches where they're jumping up and down, shouting his name, and just praising him. They're not acting. They're not quiet.
We worship you. They're... Hallelujah!
you know and and depending on what how they invite him he'll be there or not V I C T O R Y that's the Trojan battle cry They told me that I was going to preach tonight. I'm really excited about preaching to kids. I've never really preached to a whole bunch of kids that I didn't know. I feel, I mean I really feel, I really feel that we're a key generation. I really do.
I really feel that this generation is a key generation to Jesus coming back. That is exactly what I want to say. I don't write the sermon.
God writes the sermon. I mean, I can feel it sometimes while I'm writing. I can feel it in my arm. Someone's holding my arm while I'm writing, right? I feel when I go up there and I start preaching, the Holy Spirit is going to come out of me.
That ain't going to be me up there preaching. It is, but you know, it's not going to be me. And you know we can't just sit around on the couch all day because Satan will be after you. He's not going to sit around either.
If Satan's not sitting around, you shouldn't be sitting around. Satan will try to trip you off your path, off of your race, off the course. Don't let him do that.
In Jesus'name, do not let Satan get you off what God has for you. And we are a generation that needs to rise up. That needs to rise up and run with that baton.
Run with our whole heart. Everything we've got. Now, who's ready for some fun tonight?
You're not going to be the same person that you came on this camp. You're going to be a different person. You're going to be radical.
You're going to be on fire. How many of you want to be those who would give up their lives for Jesus? I got my big old Goldie Ghost hammer here tonight.
We're going to break some things in the heavenlies here tonight. We're going to break the power of the enemy in government. They came to your schools and they took Jesus out of your schools, but one thing they couldn't do was take Jesus out of your hearts. We can't just sit back and accept corrupt government.
I believe God wants to put godly, righteous people in government. How many of you want to break this cup of the power of the enemy over government? Break this cup. You break that thing in the name of Jesus.
Righteous government, God. Righteous government. Yes.
Lord, come on, proclaim that righteous government. Every time we break a cup, there's a release in the spirit. We break the power of the devil in this nation.
In the name of Jesus, it's gone. Shout it out. Shout it out. I want to hear you.
I want to hear you. America, bring me the spirit of fire in the world. In the world.
Press in kids. Press in. Unlike McDonald's, this is not about how fast you can go through the drive-thru. You want something that God, you're gonna have to cook a little.
You need to stay in the pot. Let him simmer you in the Holy Ghost. God touched you tonight.
I want to hear about it. Somebody come tell me what happened. Pray it out, Tori. Pray it out.
I just prayed the change of the world nation. And we pray for the bondages that you have put around us. Thank you. Thank you.
...and do what the Apostle Paul said and make war with them. It means war! It means war!
Part of it or not! I like to throw rocks. Okay, Levi. Whenever I run into a non-Christian or something, you know, I always, um...
You know, there's always something that doesn't seem right. There's always something that... It makes my spirit feel yucky, you know. This world, all it feeds you is trash.
It's like... Giving out candy, but I want candy, I want the meat. The Holy Spirit is like the meat. Good food, you know, food that you need and stuff, that's good.
But then, candy will just make you sick. That's what a lot of people in this world are, they're sick. They're looking for something.
Big, huge spider back there. I am not going back there. The one that I haven't seen.
Where? Up on there. All right, show me, show me. See it?
You see how big that bug is, Luke? No, it's disgusting. I do think I'm different from other kids because we know Jesus and we're hungry after Jesus, you know?
But you know what? I wouldn't be different from other kids if everybody did their calling. That's the thing with America. America, you know, is supposed to be God's nation, right?
Then things just kind of started twisting around, you know? And now a lot of people in America just aren't following God. Okay, we're going to welcome Mr. President now.
Talk to him. Say, welcome, welcome President Bush. We're glad you're here.
I want you to bless him. Speak a blessing to him. Do that, reach your hand and speak a blessing to him. Do some warfare over him.
Some warfare. He has surrounded himself with spirit-filled people. So, pray in the spirit over him.
Here he is. He's come to visit us. Yes, Lord. Thank you, Jesus.
Tell him, Mr. President. One nation under God. These went fast, didn't they? Yeah.
They did, they just flew by. And this is the big night. Yeah. Yeah. Are you ready?
Yeah. We got some good surprises for you tonight, alright? Hey, I want everybody sitting down, hands full of smiling faces, looking right this way. Thank you, guys. I'm very excited tonight.
I usually talk to big people, but tonight I get to talk maybe to the most important generation in American history. Whoa. And I'm not just joking. Where's the young man?
The young man with the long hair. Right there. Come here, son.
Just stand right with me. What's your name? Levi.
Wow, that's a great name, Levi. You like Levi's name? Here's the deal.
Before you were born, God knew you. Extraordinary. He said this.
He said, he formed you in your mother's womb. You're not just a piece of protoplasm, whatever that is. Not just a piece of tissue in your mother's womb. You were created intimately by God. Is that incredible?
God wrote a book about your life and he wrote Levi. Levi would be a God seeker from an early age. And he would become a voice that touched America.
And he would not sell out in his teenage years. He would go for God all those days and he'd be a man of prayer. And in his 20s, he'd begin to shake things real strong for God and the nation.
God's dream, the novel of Levi's life, signed God. What do you think of that? Pretty cool, huh?
You're pretty cool. Now listen to me, guys. Since 1973, up to 50 million babies never had a chance to fulfill the dreams God had for their lives.
That's sad, isn't it? Do you know a third of your friends could be here tonight, but they never made it? A person's a person, no matter how small.
God has a dream for them like he has a dream for you. Do you see that? It's kind of awesome, isn't it? Look at that.
Seven weeks old. Tonight, I believe something is going to start tonight that can change America. Seriously. Kids, I believe that you are the beginnings of a movement that can raise up a moral outcry that can overthrow abortion in America and can turn this.
Would you like to be a part of that kind of company? Jesus, I plead your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God, end abortion and send revival to America. Louder. Jesus, I plead your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation.
God, end abortion and send revival to America. Blood, blood, we command life, blood, in the name of Jesus. Jesus, not Satan, in Jesus'name, you let go of them.
You have no power taking people's lives. Only God has that power. No more, Lord.
No more. No more! No more! We cry out to God, 32 years, too long.
God, we're asking for the courts of America. We're asking, shift the courts, raise up righteous judges who will rule on behalf of the unrighteous. Go in God. Righteous judges.
Righteous judges. Righteous judges. Righteous judges. Righteous judges. Righteous judges.
Righteous judges. Children praying to you, God. Hear from heaven, God's time. Too long, Lord. Abortion, God.
You made a covenant with God tonight that you're going to pray to end abortion in America. Don't take that lightly. Don't be a promise breaker.
Don't be a promise breaker. Do you think you know America? I mean, do you think you know your own country? Well, I gotta tell you, you don't. There is a religious, political army of foot soldiers out there that are being directed by a political right.
This is not tinfoil hat conspiracy stuff. It's happening. These people, you know, they don't look like...
Politicos, they don't look like politicians. They don't look like they have, like they're on a bandwagon for anybody. I mean, they just look like your neighbor.
But when you put them all together, what ends up happening is they start taking control in small slices. And so this is the last stage. Let me tell you something. They've taken over the White House, Congress, the judiciary for a generation. What do these people form a powerful—I mean— powerful voting bloc.
Look, George Bush and Karl Rove owe these people big, big time. We've been asleep at the wheel as this conservative political fundamentalist element has gained too much control and power in this country. It's totally beyond me how anybody can look at this picture and say, oh, you know, this, you know, doesn't affect me.
It's just absurd. I'm pleased to announce my nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Definitely if the president tries to replace O'Connor, a moderate, with an extremist, it will be the biggest fight over the Supreme Court in American history.
This nomination of Judge Alito is so... important and why the church needs to be involved. It's everything that as Christians we care about because he is so outspoken on the life issue and other issues that are such great concern to us.
This is a crucial, crucial time. Judge Alito, what we've worked on for 30 years is coming to culmination, to consummation right now. And let's confirm this man, Judge Alito, to the U.S.
Supreme Court. And let's make one more step towards bringing America back to one nation under God. God bless you.
Yours is all I seek, and your gains will always be rewarded. The thing I'm living to see. Explain it We've decided the Bible is the Word of God. We don't have to have a general assembly about what we believe. It's written in the Bible.
Alright? So we don't have to debate about what we should think about homosexual activity. It's written in the Bible.
I think I know what you did last night. If you send me $1,000, I won't tell your wife. If you use any of this, I'll sue you.
And I have a 10-year rule about dating. For those of you that married somebody 30 years older than you, I hope he dies so you can get his money. But...
The point I want to get across is, you need to make sure in your home you have a few core beliefs. And we as Americans, those of you that are citizens of the United States, you need to make sure our nation has a core belief and has... we settle those philosophies correctly, then our freedom is guaranteed. Amen?
Let's pray together. Father, in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus, we pray for President Bush as he's preparing to elect a new Supreme Court nominee. Give us a pillar of strength that lasts forever.
Lord, let us not waver. Let us not be talked out of it. Let us not be negotiated out of it.
It's massive warfare every day. Let the battle begin. Are you getting all this in there? Yes.
Okay. So you need to repent. Man, it's bright.
And once they turn on all those lights, it's bright up here. Hi, how you doing? Hi, what's your name?
My name's Levi. Hello, Levi. Ted Haggard. I'm senior pastor here.
Yeah, I guess. Okay, you figured that out? Yeah.
Yeah. What's your name? That was a good sermon. Oh, it was a good sermon? Yes, it was.
Oh, you do some preaching? Yeah, I preach. What's your favorite subject?
My favorite subject? I like faith. Faith.
That's my favorite. Well, that's fabulous. Yeah, I like faith. So, do people like hearing you preach?
It seems everybody pays attention more. Kisses preaching. Is it your content or is it because you're a kid? I don't know.
Yeah. Well, you'll know. I guess it's... You'll know when you're 30. I say use your cute kid thing until you're 30, and by then you'll have good content. We believe that you have to emphasize people younger than you in order for your church to grow in a healthy way.
Kids are everything. They love the evangelical message. God loves them.
The Bible is the Word of God. They are gifts from God. So while the public school is telling them they're animals, they're the product of natural selection, we tell them, God loves you, God's created you, you have a purpose in life.
I mean, the kids are just loving it. And so, it's an awful lot of people. people and we're growing. Churches like this, there's a new church like this every two days in America. It's got enough growth to essentially sway every election.
If the evangelicals vote, they determine the election. It's a fabulous life. Oh, Jesus, what can wake us all again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Oh, precious is the flow that... Just white as snow, no other fount I know, nothing but the blood of Jesus. Let's sing it for this nation.
What can wash away our sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Amen.
Okay. The Bible says that out of the mouth of babes, God has ordained praise to silence the enemy and the foe and the avenger. God wants to use the smallest to confound the wise, the things that are nothing to nullify the things that are.
You see the big towers here and the big buildings and the big men. God says the prayers of little children can shake kings. Come on! Hallelujah!
We're being trained to go out and train others. Train others to be God's army and to do God's will. What He wants you to do.
I feel like we're kind of being trained to be warriors, only in a much funner way. We don't, like, I don't feel... the sense of like afraid to die in battle or anything like you would when you're actually going off to a war in the physical there's a peace with it all too there's an excitement yet peace at the same time it's really cool you know A lot of people die for God and stuff, and they're not even afraid.
They don't get afraid of it or anything. And it's like, I've heard Dad told me, like, when their dads are, like, missionaries and stuff, and he's about to go somewhere really dangerous and stuff, they jump around him yelling, Martyr! Martyr!
It's really cool. Go stand right up here in this seat. Give me a young man, Gideon.
Gideon, be a mighty warrior for God. There you go, son. You stand right there.
Here you go, Joseph. Someday you might be the leader of the government. You never know, Joseph.
You dream dreams. What's your name? Allison.
You look great with that tape on your mouth. There you go. Alright, here you go young man, you're so eager, I love you. Some extreme liberals, they have to look at this and start shaking in their boots. The intensity that you see of these kids, there's no doubt they've got to be watching this and go, oh my goodness.
I didn't know this was possible. What are these kids going to be like when they grow up? It's like animal rights people, eat your heart out. You know, you want to see intense.
You want to see kids passionate about Christ. This is it. You know, and I have to believe with all my heart that this is just the tip of the iceberg. I believe those kids made an impact in heaven. God hears the cries of children.
Phew! Makes me want to cry. We're talking to Becky in Bismarck, North Dakota. She's a children's pastor and she runs a summer camp for evangelical children there in North Dakota. Becky, how are you?
I'm doing very good. Why kids? Why are they supposed to be some new army of God?
Why are we using kids to do that? Anyone who does any work with kids knows it's because the reason you go for kids is because whatever they learn by the time they're seven, eight, nine years old is pretty well there for the rest of their lives. And this is statistics that you can research for yourself. No, I know these statistics, but you use the term learn.
The word learn is different than indoctrinate. God gave us a brain. God gave us the freedom to choose. And learning is part of that choice.
And I think every time the fundamentalist movement, Becky, interferes with that, we're doing harm. We're doing harm to the progression of mankind. I don't think any child gets anything by choice. As I understood, your question to me was, do you feel it's right for the fundamentalist to indoctrinate their children with their own beliefs? I guess fundamentally, yes, I do.
Because every other religion is indoctrinating their kids. Hello! I would like to see more churches indoctrinating.
You can tell a child anything. Just like I said, you can tell a child, you can make a child into a soldier that carries an AK-47. You could call it brainwashing, but I am radical and passionate in teaching children about their responsibility as Christians, as God-fearing people, as Americans, if you want to say. Well, Becky, let me ask you this.
How do we ignore? that all of a sudden we're creating children's soldiers for the Republican Party. How does that figure into anything that Christ had to say about how we should live our life on the earth? I am not aware of any churches that are out there with a political cost. I'm not going after my kids politically, but that, you know, because at the same time I want to say, and I don't have any problem saying to my children, we are pro-life.
I got to tell you, God is watching us. And God has a very special place for those people who mess with our children. It's not a pretty place.
I'm not going to go there, Mike. You know, what's always made this country special, what's always set this country apart, is because there is something that we call a separation between church and state. That's always something that separates us and has separated us for 200 years. It has worked.
I respect your right as a fundamentalist. to teach your children whatever you want to teach them. But don't let that bleed over into the public sector. Don't let that bleed over into the schools.
I beg to differ with you. Christianity is important. We believe it's the most important religion in the world because it changes the lives of people. But, Becky, it's a witch's brew. It's going to take over democracy.
You know, I think democracy is the greatest political system on Earth, but that's just it. It's the only, it's the only, it's just what's on Earth. You know, and it's ultimately designed to destroy itself because we have to give everyone. Equal freedom and ultimately that's going to destroy us, you know And so the perfect world is not going to be perfect until Jesus is truly Lord. Okay, Becky.
Thanks for joining us. Okay you that man The more I hear about this. I mean it just gets crazier and crazier On this vote, the ayes are 58, the nays are 42. The President's nomination of Samuel A. Alito Jr. of New Jersey to be an Associate Justice in the Supreme Court of the United States is confirmed.
I love America. I love the American lifestyle. I love being a part of the 21st century.
I wake up every day excited about what I'm going to do. But at the same time, I look at this sick old world and I go, God, let's get out of here. Knowing what I know.
How do I not give my whole to helping other people, children, teenagers or adults, come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ? How could I enjoy heaven with the knowledge that I never told people that meant so much to me about Jesus? That is not a burden. It is the greatest joy of my life.
The most religious nation in the world is India. The most irreligious nation in the world is Sweden. We are a nation of Indians ruled by Swedes. As Christians, you are the leaders. You speak for God.
We care about our country. And what I want to say is we want to get our message out. We can boil it down to...
She said, you just boil your message down to single sentences. Let me give you some single sentences. Number one, it's a new day.
Number two, liberalism is dead. Number three, the majority of Americans are conservative. Number four, you can count on us showing up and speaking out.
And number five, let the church rise. This is the best, this is the best When I lay me down to die Going up to the spirit in the sky Going up to the spirit in the sky Spirit in the sky! Hey!
If you were to die right now, where do you think you would go? Heaven. Really?
Yeah. Are you sure? Okay. I think they're a Muslim. I'd like to give this to you.
No, thank you. No, thank you. Oh, well.
Well, we know they could be Christians already, you know what I mean? Do you think people actually think we're trying to, like, sell something? I bet you some of them do. I mean, we're kids.
What are we selling? Life is in our hands. God has been so good to you, you have to stand up on your feet and praise and magnify the Lord, because He's the one who sets your free praise. Those are the plays, that's the play. Those are the plays, that's the play.
