and become prepared today. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has yet to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate to be the next U. to Israel, at least at the time of this recording, I don't think he had been confirmed. You probably know Mr. Huckabee is a hardcore Christian Zionist. He has visited Israel at least 100 times in his lifetime. He published the book, The Kids Guide to Israel, that indoctrinates children with Zionism. He supports Israel's brutal bombing of the Palestinian people, including the deaths of 20,000 children.

He has said that there's no such thing as a Palestinian. But with his vote looming in the US Senate, Governor Huckabee traveled this past weekend to New York City to visit the grave site of none other than the dead rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Why? To seek the rabbi's blessing from the grave so that his vote in the Senate would go well. I'm Rick Wiles. This is True News for Tuesday, March 25th, 2025. Let's begin our analysis and commentary of today's news with this headline published

by Forward, Jewish publication. We are people of the book. That's what Mr. Huckabee said today in the US Senate. We are people of the book. Which book, Mr. Huckabee? Which book? Mike Huckabee defends Christian Zionist beliefs and his support for Israel. I've got a Doc Burkhart is here with me. Glad to have Doc back here. Good to be back sir.

And I got a video clip of Governor Huckabee's testimony today being questioned by Florida's Senator Rick Scott. Let's watch. Governor Huckabee, can you tell us why is the defense of Israel, the support of Israel important to America? Senator, great question. The truth is it's been very clear as expressed by the Iranian government that Israel is the appetizer and we're the entree. They

don't want to stop at Israel. They certainly want to annihilate them. They've said it over and over and there's an old saying that when people are saying again and again they're going to kill you, you might want to take them seriously. But they've also gone beyond saying they want to annihilate Israel and wipe it off the face of the earth. They've said that their ultimate goal is to first take care of the little Satan they identify as Israel and then come after the great Satan. Senator, that's us.

And whatever is happening to Israel, it is the canary in the coal mine. These governments, Iran being the most notable, who want to develop a nuclear weapon and who have the audacity to wish to use it to destroy a sovereign Jewish state so that they ultimately could destroy Western civilization. That's why it matters, Senator, and I appreciate your question because I hope people will understand this is not just about Israel. It is about us. And if we don't stand with them, they stand alone.

And if they fall alone, we fall next. Well, Doc, there's a lot of a lot of propaganda in his statement. The reason so many Middle Eastern people are angry at America is because of our connection to Israel. Because we give them the weapons that kill Arabs and Palestinians and destroy communities and kill tens of thousands of children and that's why they're angry at us. If we would break off our relationship with Israel, things would calm down between Middle East, I want to call Iran and Arab country because they're Persians.

But between the Persians and the Arabs, that animosity towards America would simmer down if we were not seen as the country that is joined at the hip with Israel like Siamese twins. And then he talks about nuclear weapons. Well, does he support disarmament in the Middle East? Because the reason Iran wants a nuclear weapon, I'm not supporting Iran getting a nuclear weapon, but the reason they want a nuclear weapon is because Israel has hundreds. And the other countries know that they are armed with weapons of mass destruction.

So he's got a lot of propaganda in his statement, but Senator Rick Scott gave him a softball. Sure. Easy question for the Senate hearing. Now this is really what I want people to see. This is Jerusalem Post. What Jewish groups are saying ahead of Mike Huckabee's confirmation hearing to be Israel ambassador. So, Huckabee's confirmation hearing to be Israel ambassador. So Huckabee will appear before Senate committee on Tuesday. That was this morning.

The former governor of Arkansas and evangelical pastor is a staunch Christian Zionist who has called for Israel to control the West Bank in perpetuity. That is true. He has called for that. And he doesn't call it the West Bank. That's right. Ahead of his hearing, he visited the New York City grave site of Rabbi Menachem Mendo Schneerson, the late Chabad leader. So why would Governor Huckabee go to the grave site of a dead

rabbi? Well, same reason Mr. Trump went there. The same reason Mr. Millay of Argentina went there to pray to the dead rabbi, to ask the rabbi in his grave to bless the vote. And these guys actually believe this dead rabbi is causing them to win. So here is the Jewish News Syndicate. Huckabee visits Lubavitcher Reaves grave ahead of Israel posting. Let's read this doc.

Sure. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee visited the grave of the late Lubavitcher Rabbi Menachem Mendel Sneerson in New York yesterday, on Sunday rather, just days before the confirmation hearings for his U.S. Ambassador to Israel appointment. Now it goes on to say that Huckabee, a staunch supporter of Israel, visited the site in Queens with his wife Janet. The Huckabees were escorted by Dr. Joseph Frager and his wife Karen of the New York-based Israel Heritage Foundation, which also hosted them for reception after the visit. The grave of the late Lubavitcher Rabbi has become a popular spiritual and political pilgrimage site. If you recall, last year President Donald Trump visited the site during the last month

of his presidential campaign on the one-year anniversary of the October 7th Hamas-led attack in southern Israel. And of course, we've also covered that Argentinian President Javier Malé, who studied with a rabbi he later appointed as his ambassador to Israel, has also visited the site several times since his election. And we see that picture there. There's Governor Huckabee and his wife and of course a portrait of

Rabbi Schneerson there. of course, a portrait of Rabbi Schneerson there. Rick, you had something to say on X earlier today about this. When I saw it a couple hours ago, I posted this on the X platform, that Mike Huckabee made the pilgrimage to Schneerson to ask the dead rabbi to bless his Senate confirmation vote. Extremely creepy that so many politicians pray to a dead rabbi. Does it bother you folks that people like Mike Huckabee pray to a dead rabbi? And he did say he prayed there. He did pray there. Yes.

So for those who might say, well, he just visited a grave site. No, he prayed there Well, I would ask why why are you even visiting the grave site? Absolutely Let's start with that one and then who were you praying to and do you think he's alive? Yes, now let's take out of the equation that you're an ambassador designate to Israel Let's take out of the equation that you're a former governor, let's just deal with you being a pastor. How about that?

A Baptist pastor. Right. At what point in your thinking, in your theology, in your doctrine does it say that it would be an okay thing to go and visit the grave of a dead rabbi in Queens that people worship as the Messiah. Yes. A lot of them think he's the Messiah and that he's coming back. Yes.

But even if he's not, even if they don't think he's a Messiah, they think he is alive and hearing their prayers and answering their prayers. Yes. Isn't that necromancy? That's exactly what it is. It's trying to call up the dead. It's so crazy, Rick. I don't know what is in the thinking of these guys. It's a spell, Doc. This is a spell. These Lupovichers have cast a Kabbalah spell on a lot of Americans. They've got them under a spell. And Donald Trump is one of them. And you can get angry with me, do whatever you want to do.

He's gone there several times and prayed at the rabbi. His daughter, who switched, converted to Judaism, went multiple times to the grave. Well, right before the 2016 election. That's right. And she attributed the 2016 Trump victory to the rabbi answering her prayers. So, you may have seen this video, this has been around for years. This is Menaka Sneerson years ago in the 1990s talking to a young Benjamin Netanyahu. He might have been Ben Neté. I don't know what name he was using at the time. Could have been his Polish name.

I don't know I assume I'm assuming that the English translation is accurate if it isn't and somebody knows that that's not what they're saying tell me we'll we'll correct it but let's watch and we'll assume that the English translation is correct listen closely to what Sneerson is telling Netanyahu. Watch. I came to ask your blessing and help in everything, in all areas, both personal and political. Since we last met, many things have progressed. Many things have progressed. What hasn't changed, however, is that Moshech still hasn't come. So do something to hasten his coming. We're doing.

We're doing. Apparently, it's not enough, since many hours have already passed today and he's still not here. But there are still a few hours left in the day. So try still for today. Yes. Good tidings with joy and happiness. You know that chesedim are careful to do everything with joy.

Yes. Good tidings. Much success. So, Rabbi Schneerson wanted to know what Netanyahu was doing to bring about the Jewish Messiah. And Netanyahu said, we're doing, we're doing. And it gets apparently not enough because he's not here. It's still a few hours left in the day. You need to speed things up. Like what?

Well, what's Netanyahu doing right now? What's he been doing for the past two years? He's been destroying Gaza. Yes. He's killed 50,000 Palestinians, 20,000 of them children. And we don't know how many are buried in the rubble. There's probably another 50,000 buried in rubble. Is that what Netanyahu's doing? To speed up the arrival of the Messiah? And now we have an ambassador designate that is towards the hip.

Believes in this stuff. Yes. So what Messiah is Mike Huckabee expecting to come? It's not Jesus. I don't think Mike Huckabee's Messiah is Jesus Christ. I think Mike Huckabee is a Freemason. That's my personal view. If I'm wrong, I'll apologize. I think these guys are closet secret Jewish Zionists. I believe they've converted. I believe they practiced Kabbalah. This stuff's weird.

Yes. And they're in power. Oh well, how about something else on the weird scale? Let's see, President Trump has been compared to Cyrus. Who else have the evangelicals compared him to? Some have compared him to the King of Israel. Some have, you know, maybe he's the Messiah. Remember that book that came out last year saying that Donald Trump was the Messiah.

Well now we have a new one, Doc. He's Constantine the Great. Yes. And so, a Greek Orthodox Church Archbishop presented a holy cross to President Trump, which was a very nice gesture. But he told him, you remind me of Constantine. Here's the cross, go conquer. Yes.

Go conquer with this cross. And that's basically what the Archbishop said. This is Archbishop Elpidoforos, the Greek Orthodox Church, presented Donald Trump with that holy cross that you see there, but also had this to say to Donald Trump as Constantine. Through your leadership, you embody the values of our Christian faith and loveantine the Great. This Emperor, dear Mr President, is the one who founded and built the magnificent city of Constantinople, my birthplace, known today as Istanbul. It is my great honour to present you with this Holy Cross. This cross is the very symbol that led this great Roman Emperor Constantine to victory. As Christ revealed to him in a vision, he said, and Tutto Nica told the Emperor, means

go with this and be victorious, Mr. President. This cross is an everlasting symbol of peace and an invincible trophy, a sign of divine strength and guidance. With this cross, I pray you bring peace to the world and make America invincible. A gold cross. Yes. From a positive viewpoint, I hope President Trump acts on the archbishop's words and leads the country with the cross, not for military conquest like Constantine, but for spiritual conquest. That would be very refreshing if the president would get a vision of what it means to lead the country with the cross. We'll just have to wait and see.

But he did compare him to a Roman emperor. Yes. Folks, pay attention to these things It's a lot of weird stuff going on we're just watching it happen House speaker Mike Johnson, Doc. He's he's moving in on my Congressional platform

All this sounds like Rick was right again. Here we go. The speaker floats the idea of eliminating federal courts. That's what I've been proposing. Yes. You just get rid of the federal courts. Stop arguing about these judges. Just eliminate the courts.

They become history. And Rick, when you first floated that idea out there, what was the response from people? Zero. Yes. Like, what are you even talking about? Yes. And now look at this headline here. That's on NBC News today.

Facing pressure from his right flank to take on judges who have ruled against President Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana on Tuesday floated the possibility of Congress eliminating some federal courts. He had this to say, we do have the authority over the federal courts, as you know. We can eliminate an entire district court. We have the power of funding over the courts and all these other things, Johnson told reporters on Tuesday. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act. Rick, do you think that Congress really will act on this and eliminate the federal courts? No. I don't think so either. No. That was the threat, and then they'll come back with a That was the threat. And then they'll come back with a mealy mouth bill.

Plus it's red meat for the folks that support things that are going on. No, no, they're not going to eliminate to courts. The next one, New York Post, Hunter Biden's ex-business partner was given a full pardon by President Trump. I didn't know this, Doc. Yeah, I saw this yesterday, late in the day, yesterday. Had to be yesterday evening, I guess. And I was like, what?

This happened? Devin Archer got a pardon? Devin Archer. He sure did. So Hunter Biden's ex-business partner described meeting Trump at the NCAA wrestling event, learning he'll be pardoned. It was like a gladiatorial Rome. Oh, there we go again. Roman Emperor. Yes. And I didn't miss that either in that over the weekend that Donald Trump was at the

NCAA wrestling event in Greco-Roman style wrestling. He appeared on Jesse Waters' Fox News. We got a video clip of him explaining his meeting with President Trump at the wrestling tournament and the president telling him, I have pardoned you. Let's watch. Hunter Biden's former business partner, Devin Archer, joins me now. So what did the president say to you? Well, I'm not going to divulge the exact words that he said.

I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I have to say it was like a gladiatorial roam because we were at the NCAA finals. The energy was incredible. And I had gotten word from my attorney earlier that the president was discussing this and he had acknowledged that he was going to do it. But I was sitting in the audience across the arena and I saw some Secret Service rumblings and they walked across the arena like Caesar and essentially pointed out me and said, the president wants to speak to you himself. And so I jumped over the, you know, the railing and walked over slowly and

had about six minutes with the president where he gave me some very encouraging words. So I'm very hopeful for that. You didn't think you'd ever need this because Joe Biden said he'd take care of you. Isn't that what he said? Absolutely. Well, and so did Hunter. I mean, I once a Biden, always a Biden. I didn't think I... First of all, I didn't think I'd need this because I never did anything. I was a victim of financial fraud in which I invested a lot of money and was taken down on a whistleblower that was blowing the whistle on Hunter. So you were collateral damage.

Absolutely. And you believe that the Biden, Obama, justice people targeted you to keep Hunter out of trouble? Well, I think that there's some heroic reporting from John Solomon that came out very, very recently, actually, in like the last two years, where originally they were saying, listen, we're going to take care of you. But that reporting, you know, goes into FOIAs and finds, you know, distinct emails from the Biden legal apparatus lobbying Preet Bharat to essentially

put me in as the target and remove Hunter. So yes, I think it's, you know, it's chronic of what that legal apparatus was. And I certainly was a victim. Now Joe Biden wants to get back into the game. What does that even mean? Well, I mean, I think that Sen Tzu says, you know, always attacked your enemy from the high ground and with the sun at your back. He also says, don't mess around with your enemy when they're really messing up. So I think we can let him go with that. Do you ever hear from Hunter?

When's the last time you heard from him? It's gotta be five or six years ago. Did you say like, listen, buddy, I mean, we're in business together. What are you guys doing to me here? I mean, I think it's in the laptop. It's all over. I mean, I think everybody has access in the world to what I said.

I said, why is your father's apparatus, you know, persecuting me? I don't understand this. You were in this deal with me. You know I did nothing. You know I made no money. I don't understand it. And he gave me a very, you know, lofty answer about our justice system and its fairness. And that was absolutely

inaccurate. So how involved was Joe Biden in the Hunter business? Well, Joe Biden was, he was the brand that we're selling. I think that was, you know, it was a term that came to me looking into Jim Jordan's eyes and the congressional testimony rolled his sleeves up even higher. Right. So that was the brand. That was the access. That was what we did to find additional sources of capital or deal flow. So we were selling the Biden brand. I mean, I would say at the end of a business meeting, keep it at 20 so I don't perjure

myself on the Fox News Network. But Joe would end a meeting and say, you do a favor for me, you're my friend. You do a favor for my son, you're a friend for life. So you understand that Joe knew you were selling his brand. I think he absolutely knew. I think there are letters that I provided to the Post. I spoke to Tucker Carlson about.

I think there was a cover, Letter of the Lie, where the vice president at the time talks to me about, sorry, I can't, I couldn't get away from you. I was busy meeting, talking to the president of China. I didn't get to spend enough time with you. And then signs it personally. And we've exposed that. And I think it's remarkable that people are not as tuned in as they are.

All the evidence is there. They don't want to tune in. And that's the truth. When you found out that Hunter was getting pardoned by his dad, how'd you feel? Not surprised. I wasn't surprised at all. I think that, you know, they're a family

that's very, they're very family oriented, but they're very oriented around themselves, not necessarily the American family. So it was a non-surprising act. Well, the Corleones were very family oriented too, Rick and the Godfathers. Yes, they had family values. Yes.

Their family valued. So Rick, where's Devin Archer been the past five years? He hasn't been talking like this, has he? No, did he go to prison? I don't know. That's what has gotten me here. It seems like he went to prison for some unrelated charge. But then the story now is he's a whistleblower. I didn't know he's a whistleblower.

I didn't know he was a whistleblower. Well, now that he's pardoned, he can talk. Yes. Hey, another member of the former cabinet official of the Biden administration has lost his Secret Service detail, none other than the ex Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. So President Trump signed an executive order that canceled the secret service protection

around Mayorkas. Now Mr. Mayorkas, he's got to walk around on the streets of America unprotected from the illegal immigrants he allowed to come into the country. Think about that. He ought to stay off subway trains, you know? I mean, bad stuff happens to American citizens on subway trains by illegal immigrants. It might set you on fire. Rick, is it a common thing, maybe I've missed something in Constitution class or

something like that. Does normally ex cabinet officials, do they normally have secret service protection? No. Not that I recall. No. I could understand the wife of former president having secret service details, things like that.

These guys, they've set themselves up as like, you know, they're like royalty. And they've rigged the game so that they're protected, they're treated as special. But anyhow, President Trump has revoked Secret Service protection and national security clearance for a lot of people. Yes. And he's bringing these people down to street level. Now, I want to take the remainder of today's program to talk about the big story that everybody's talking about.

I wanted to get all these other things out of the way before we jumped into this story. I'm talking about the controversy over the texting on Signal. There's the Atlantic. The Trump administration accidentally texts me its war plans. This is written by Jeffrey Goldberg who somehow got invited into a text conversation on Signal, which is an app. And so this story has dominated the headlines throughout the day, yesterday and today. So let's start with what is Signal? A lot of people may not know what Signal is. Right. So what is Signal? Well, Signal was created by Open Whisper Systems and was founded by Moxie Marlinspike, whose real name happens to be Matthew Rosenfeld, and later transitioned to the nonprofit Signal

Foundation in 2018 with significant funding from Brian Acton, a WhatsApp co-founder. Now it goes on to tell us that before this, OWS received funding from what's called the Open Technology Fund, and that's a U.S. government-backed organization established back in 2012 under Radio Free Asia, which itself has historical roots in CIA-funded Cold War initiatives like Radio Free Europe. The OTF, supported by the U.S. Agency for Global Media, provided millions of dollars to OWS between 2013 and 2016 to develop Signal, aiming to create secure communication tools for activists and dissidents globally, particularly in countries with repressive regimes. This funding, estimated around $3 million initially, has led some to claim that Signal

is a CIA spinoff or has a backdoor for U.S. intelligence. Critics point to the OTS origins and alignment with U.S. foreign policy objectives, such as the Internet Freedom Agenda under the State Department, which aimed to undermine authoritarian governments. And so what Signal is basically is a supposed to be a secure text messaging platform where your location is not known. You can have your text conversations immediately deleted after you're finished with them. A number of other features that are, I would say, spooky, but spooky in the sense of intelligence. Yeah.

So it's Ancestry leads you back to U.S. intelligence agencies. That's right. That's why I always chuckle when people say, Rick, you ought to be using this app. It's encrypted. It's safe. I'm like, there is no such thing as a safe encrypted app And it all goes back to that promise software where absolutely every one of them I mean what what better thing for an intelligence agency to do than to release a

An encrypted app. Hey folks put all your secrets on this app. Yes, don't worry, no one else can see them. Well anyhow, before we go into the story, who is Jeffrey Goldberg? Because he's at the center of the story. Right, so he's an editor at The Atlantic, The Atlantic, it used to be called The Atlantic Monthly. The editor at The Atlantic, he was born in Brooklyn, raised in Long Island by first-generation immigrants from Eastern

Europe. That's code word from, he's got Jewish heritage. Goldberg studied at the University of Pennsylvania and edited the university paper, The Daily Pennsylvanian. He quit college before graduating and moved to Israel, where he served as a military police officer in the IDF in the early 1990s during the first Intifada. In his 2006 book Prisoners, a Muslim and a Jew Across the Middle East Divide, Goldberg wrote about taking up Israeli citizenship after becoming enamored with the state. Upon completing military service, Goldberg had a stint as a commonist for the Jerusalem Post. He later gave up his Israeli citizenship after becoming disillusioned with what he described as Israel's path to becoming a theocratic,

totalitarian-style state. Goldberg had a distinguished journalism career. Now, this is, according to the London Times, writing for the Washington Post, the Jerusalem Post, the New York Times Magazine, and the New Yorker focusing mainly on the Middle East. He joined the Atlantic in 2007, became its editor-in-chief nine years later in 2016. Goldberg has described himself, this is his words, as a committed Zionist and a liberal-minded American Jew. That's his definition. So that describes Mr. Goldberg who is in the center of this controversy.

So now we know what signal is. We know who Mr. Goldberg is. Let's work our way through it, try to figure out why so many people are talking about this story. New York Post Atlantic editor insists he saw minute by minute play of how the US would bomb Yemen in a stunning group text snafu. So the Atlantic magazine's editor inin-chief insisted he saw minute-by-minute accounting of how the U.S. intended to bomb Yemen, despite Defense Secretary Pete Haggiseth adamantly

denying that sensitive war plans were ever discussed in the bombshell group tech scandal. The magazine's top editor, Jeffrey Goldberg, revealed Monday that he was inadvertently included in a signal message chain earlier this month in which top Trump administration officials, including Hegseth and Vice President Vance, discussed strikes against the Houthi terror group in Yemen. And we're going to show you two clips of interviews that Mr. Goldberg did, and we're also going to show you some screenshots. This first one is CNN. Let's watch. They're saying that nobody was texting war plans,

given you were privy to this group, Chad. Is that how you saw it? No, that's a lie. He was texting war plans, given you were privy to this group, Chad, is that how you saw it? No, that's a lie. He was texting war plans. He was texting attack plans. When targets were going to be targeted, how they were going to be targeted, who was at the targets, when the next sequence of attacks were happening. I didn't publish this and I continue not to publish it

because it felt like it was too confidential, too technical, and I worry honestly that sharing that kind of information in public could endanger American military personnel. But no, they were plans for the attack. They were texted before the attack. And there were things texted that you viewed as so sensitive, you did not even publish them in your report today. I made the decision that the technical aspects of this, including what kinds of weapons packages, the attack sequencing and so on, that's not necessarily in the public interest. What's in the public interest is that they were running a war plan on a messaging app

and didn't even know who was invited into the conversation. I mean, it's an obvious, ridiculous security breach. And if you notice, he didn't actually answer the question. It is an extremely embarrassing incident for the Trump administration. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. Yes. If this happened in the Biden administration, Republicans would be all over it. Yes.

Okay. So let's just be fair and impartial. We got some screenshots of the conversation. Right, so and this is what was released yesterday. There's supposed to be additional screenshots available coming out later today. JD Vance here saying to Pete Higg, Seth, if you think we should do it, let's go. I just hate bailing Europe out again. Let's just make sure our messaging is tight here.

And if there are things we can do up front to minimize risk to Saudi oil facilities, we should do it. Pete Hegseth, VP, I fully share your loathing of European freeloading. It's pathetic. Mike is correct. We are the only ones on the planet on our side of the ledger who can do this. Nobody else even close question is timing.

I feel like now is as good a time as any given President's directive reopen shipping lanes. I think we should go, but President still retains 24 hours of decision space. As I heard, now you have to figure out who the SM is here. As I heard it, the president was clear, green light. We should make clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return.

We also need to figure out how to enforce such requirement. If Europe doesn't remunerate, then what? If the US successfully restores freedom of navigation at great cost, there needs to be some further economic gain extracted in return. So extracted. Yes. Extracted from that. That thread right there is an entire other discussion. Yes. So we'll come back to that in a few minutes.

I've got another video clip, Jeffrey Goldberg on MSNBC talking to Jim Pasaki. Yeah, he goes a little bit more in depth and revealing some of the what he said are actual war plans that he saw. And so he can't says he can't come out and tell you, but he can say, well, this is sort of what it's like. Watch this. You're talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who's made a profession of peddling hoaxes time and time again.

Nobody was texting war plans, and that's all I have to say about that. I don't expect you're gonna respond to every aspect of that but nobody was texting war plans. Again you have extensive reporting anybody can read it. What is your reaction to that? Look I'm gonna be responsible here and not disclose the things that I read and saw, I will describe them to you. The specific time of a future attack, specific targets, including human targets, meant to be killed in that attack, weapons systems, even weather reports, you know, that the government is, I don't know why Hecsep was sharing it with everybody.

I mean, the precise detail, and then a long section on sequencing. This is gonna happen, then that is gonna happen. After that happens, this happens, then that happens, and then we go and find out if it worked. I mean, you know, he can say that it wasn't a war plan, but it was a minute-by-minute accounting of what was about to happen. Organized by CENTCOM, Central Command, which is the military oversight group of the Middle East, the broader Middle East.

This is their plan. And he was taking their plan and sharing it with a bunch of civilian leaders. Doc, I know the Republicans are trying to make Jeffrey Goldberg the villain. He's not the villain in this story. Right. And yesterday evening, if you listen to all the right-wing pundits they were saying well this is all a hoax. This is that was the line that went on. I know it's not a hoax. That it was a hoax but it's not a hoax. The administration has admitted to it.

So there there are several questions. I know you've got some questions. Right. Number one I'll tell you my two main questions. Number one, why were top officials of the Trump administration texting about a plan to bomb another country? That's would be at the top of my list of questions. For heaven's sake, you seriously, you're texting about a war plan? Now, it is well known that National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is the one who invited him.

Mr. Waltz has never given an explanation. Apparently, the way it's being described by Trump-friendly political spokesman is that Mr. Waltz accidentally uh entered mr goberg's phone number you know so that means he had it in his in his phone okay now i can understand that your national security advisor mr goberg is senior editor of atlantic magazine okay so i i can understand that. But nobody, nobody noticed that, I mean, it's not like Jeffrey Goldberg is a chef down at, you know, the local pizza shop. Like everybody in Washington knows the name Jeffrey Goldberg. Right. And it's like nobody in that conversation, you the CIA director and that the director of national intelligence

The national security advisor the vice president United States Secretary of Defense You're all talking about bombing a nation and nobody is paying attention To who's on the who's in that thread, right? I Just find it hard to believe Rick. I really do which I just find it hard to believe Rick. I really do which This is a question say this is what evil doc would ask okay So was it intentional on the part of Mike Waltz? Is this whole thing intentional I

Don't know. That's a none of it makes sense. Well, I know this if anyone's ever used signal, it's not it's not just you know, let's add this guy to the call or to the thread. It there's a like a four step process to adding somebody to a signal conversing. Really? Yeah. So it's not like, you know, bringing somebody over in Teams or on Yahoo Messenger or AOL or something like that. There's a four-step process in inviting someone into a conversation.

So you're given four opportunities to realize that you might be inviting the wrong person. Yes. And once again, why didn't anyone else notice this? That, it just, something doesn't smell right here, Rick. It was Mike Waltz, was he bamboozled by a staffer? I don't know, a disgruntled employee over at, you know, in, you know, over at National Security.

Okay, so we haven't heard Mike Waltz say, I'm the one that brought Jeffrey Goldberg into the conversation. No, but Donald Trump has said it. Yes. So here's NBC News. Trump stands by Mike Waltz despite disclosing military plans says that he's learned a lesson. Now, remember, he's the national security advisor.

Security advisor. National security advisor. And he doesn't know how to use an app. Now, listen to what the story here at NBC says. President Donald Trump stood by his national security advisor, Mike Walz, after the Atlantic's editor-in-chief was accidentally added to a private high-level chat on the messaging app Signal where military plans were being discussed.

Now we're quoting from the article here, Michael Walz has learned a lesson. He's a good man, President Trump said in a phone interview with NBC News. When asked what he was told about how Goldberg came to be added to the Signal Chat, President Trump said, it was one of Michael's people on the phone. A staffer had his number on there. President Trump said Goldberg's presence in the chat had no impact at all on the military operation. Okay, that sounds to me like maybe Mr. Walsh was sabotaged. That's a possibility. Or he offloaded the conversation, you know, the setup of the whole conversation, everything to staffer and...

So to get everybody on signal? Right. Well, okay, so then why isn't this person being dealt with great question mr. Goldberg and I'm being respectful to him you know he he is a committed Zionist he has a loyalty to Israel he served in the IDF. Yes. I get the feeling. By the way, Mike Walz, his mentor was Dick Cheney. So Mike Walz is a neocon. Yes.

Which means he is a war hawk who would go to any level of warfare on behalf of Israel. So just keep all this in perspective. Who was his assistant? Now the timing of this, you know, leak or however you want to call it, is very interesting because previously to this story breaking yesterday, it was already on the schedule for the various, you know, members of the intelligence community, the Trump administration and intelligence community to testify before the Senate today. Well, it just so happens now this story broke yesterday and now this became the hot topic today.

So, Doc, for months, the Democrats have been clueless about what to do regarding President Trump. Nothing has worked. Yes. Suddenly, they have something that works. Yes. They've got something that they can sink their teeth into and rational thinking people are saying, wait a minute, this bothers me. I don't like this.

The fact that our national security advisor brought on a reporter and didn't even know he was there and they're talking about war plans on a reporter and didn't even know he was there and they're talking about war plans on a messaging app. The whole thing is is troubling. The fact that they talk about war on a messaging app is deeply troubling to me, Doc. What does this say? Does this say that they don't they don't know the danger of using a messaging app? Or does this say something else? Does this say that the US government doesn't have a messaging app? That's where I'm on this, Rick, is that unless our government officials are breathing the

same air in the same room, there's no way to be secure. Are you telling me that Signal is the highest level security that the US government has? And it's not even owned by the government? Right. And that's it? That's the highest level communication system? Hey, Rick, Hillary Clinton didn't trust the government.

She had her own server. That's right. And and her bleach. I mean, this this is nuts that you have to go outside the government to have a secure conversation, and it turns out it's not secure either. Well, I've got a montage of today's Senate hearing and it was brutal. I'm telling you, the Democrats were on a roll today.

They were attacking and they were attacking without looking radical. They actually made them look sensible. Yes. attacking without looking radical. They actually made them look sensible. Yes. Now you know something's wild when Democrats look sensible. So we'll start with, the headline here is London Telegraph CIA boss confirms he was part of a security leak group chat. So now John Ratcliffe tried to explain that it was the Biden administration that authorized the use of signal for communication.

So he was pushing it off on the Biden administration. But Doc, if he's correct, I'm sure he is, that's telling me this was going on for years in the Biden administration. Right. All right, let's watch. This is a compliments of C-SPAN. Director Radcliffe, were you on the group chat? Senator, I was on a signal messaging group. So you were the John Radcliffe on that chat? I was.

Thank you. Thank you. Can I provide some context, Senator, to that? Yes, but I've got a series of questions. But I think it's important because at the outset you made a couple of comments about signal messaging using encrypted apps so that we're clear. One of the first things that happened when I was confirmed as CIA director was signal was loaded onto my computer at the CIA. As it is for most CIA officers, One of the things that I was briefed

on very early, Senator, was by the CIA records management folks about the use of signal as a permissible work use. It is. That is a practice that preceded the current administration to the Biden administration. I've got a series of questions. If you're making the statement, the signal is a secure channel. No, can I answer that? It is decryption. I understand. It is permissible to use to communicate and coordinate for work purposes provided, provided Senator, that any decisions that are made are also

recorded through formal channels. So those were procedures that were implemented. My staff implemented those processes, followed those processes, complied with those processes, and finally, just please, so my communications to be clear in a Signal message group were entirely permissible and lawful and did not include classified information. Well, we will make that determination. Mr. Ratcliffe saying is Signal is a CIA messaging app.

Approved. No, no, no. It's beyond that. I know. It was funded. It was devised by the CIA. And it is the official CIA app because he said it was installed on his computer when he became the CIA director. The CIA tech department put it on his computer, Doc. Right. The same CIA that we're accusing of being the deep state. So that's admitting that the real owner, the real parent of

Signal is the CIA. Right. Okay, that's, that's what I learned out of that. But the excuse that he gives there, well, yeah, it was an app that was already on my computer and everything. Rick, if you found out that I was having conversations about this ministry with other staff members on Signal

without your knowledge and everything, and you found out about it, if my excuse was, well Rick, I had signal on my computer. I'm just using it, you know, to talk with other staff members. How would you feel about that? Well, if you use Mr. Ratcliffe's description, then that would mean that our IT director installed it on your phone. Right. All right. So if that's the case, then we approved it. See, that's what I'm saying. The CIA approved it. Absolutely. And they approved it because they own it secretly. They designed it. Yes. That's

something you ought to be thinking about. Now that was Senator John Warner of Virginia. He looks like practically a conservative today. Yes. Now the next one is Senator Bennett. Yes. And he confronted John Ratcliffe over Jeffrey Goldberg's addition into the Signal Chat. Let's watch.

You are the CIA director, okay? This has happened. We know it's watch. You are the CIA director, okay? This has happened. We know it's happened. Did Jeff Goldberg somehow, was it a, did he create a hoax that allowed him to become part of this signal thread? Please answer the question. You don't, don't, don't insult the intelligence of the American people. Did he invite himself to the signal thread?

I don't know how he was invited. Clearly he was added to the signal group. Your question is- You don't know that the president's national security advisor invited him to join the signal thread. Everybody in America knows that. Let me ask you, when he was added to the thread, you're the CIA director. Why didn't you call out that he was present on the signal thread? I don't know if you use signal messaging app.

I do. I do, not for classified information. But you thought it was appropriate. By the way, I think he's one of the more outstanding journalists in America. But I'm shocked to find him on a thread that he's reading in the parking lot of a grocery store. This is just a normal day at the CIA where we chat about this kind of stuff over signal. In fact, it's so normal that the last administration left it here for us.

That's your testimony today. Did you know that the president's Middle East advisor was in Moscow on this thread while you were, as director of the CIA, participating in this thread. Were you aware of that? Are you aware of that today? I'm not aware of that today.

This sloppiness, this incompetence, this disrespect for our intelligence agencies and the personnel who work for them is entirely unacceptable. It's an embarrassment. Doc, Senator Bennett was referring to Steve Witkoff. That's right. So Steve Witkoff was on this call, but he was in Moscow. Right. Do you think the Russians were monitoring Steve Witkoff's communications?

They had to have been. So then this just deepens the mystery for me. How can you be that, you know, so obtuse in this and not recognize the, I'm just, I'm blown away by the story. It is. And I got to say with Mr. Radcliffe, and I like John Radcliffe, I'm not criticizing him, but you know, if he really didn't know the answers to these questions There Lord you had you've had a whole day you would think I better get facts on this

I better find out how Jeffrey Goldberg got invited. I Better know exactly who was on the call I'm the CIA director and this wasn't a surprise testimony. Right. They knew that they were going to appear today. And they had to know these questions were going to be asked. The next one is Georgia Democrat Senator John Ossoff. And again, he was, look, folks, Mike Waltz has handed the Democrats on a silver platter

a public relations victory. This is the opportunity they've been looking for. And it's not going to take down anybody. But, you know, as we say in the country, somebody's going to lose some fur off their back. Right. And, you know, Mike Waltz, he didn't get fired. President Trump kept him, but it's not going to happen again, I can tell you. Here's Senator John Ossoff. Director Radcliffe, this was a huge mistake, correct?

No. A national political... Hold on. No, no, you hold on. No, no, Director Radcliffe. I asked you a yes or no question and now you hold on. A national political reporter... You can characterize it how you want political reporter was made privy to sensitive

information about imminent military operations against a foreign terrorist organization. And that wasn't a huge mistake. That wasn't a huge mistake. This is embarrassment. This is utterly unprofessional. There's been no apology. There has been no recognition of the gravity of this error. And by the way, we will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. You know, the one thing that always bothers me about politicians, just admit when something

went wrong. Just admit it. If the Trump administration would have come out today and said, oh man, that was, that was really- What a boner. That was dumb. Yes. Oh my, we'll never do that again.

This whole thing would be over. Right. But to deny that it was a mistake- Or to start off, I mean you had several members of the administration say well you know you can't trust Jeffrey Goldberg you know it's all a hoax and everything and without doing all the explanation. Right and I saw Pete Hakeseth when he landed in Hawaii. That was his line. Yes. Jeffrey Goldberg, he's involved in hoaxes. No, he

was on the call while you talked about bombing Yemen. The next one is Democrat Senator Ron Wyden, and he was demanding the resignation of Mike Waltz and Pete Hagseth. Let's watch this one. Records are potential crimes that ought to be investigated immediately. And I want to make clear that I'm of the view that there ought to be resignations, starting with the National Security Advisor and the Secretary of Defense. Director Radcliffe and Director Gabbard, have you participated in any other group chats with senior Trump administration officials in which classified information was shared using phones that weren't cleared for such information. Question for the

two of you. Senator, thank you for the question. I haven't, your question was have I participated in any other group chats sharing classified information. To be clear, I haven't participated in any signal group messaging that relates to any classified information at all. Okay. Director Gabbard. Senator, I have the same answer. I have not participated in any signal group chat or any other chat on another app that contained any classified information.

And they're sticking to that story, Rick. Right. Well, let's go back to that story, Rick. Right. Well, let's go back to four years of the Biden administration. And how many conversations did Antony Blinken have on Signal? And how many members of the media were invited in on those calls? Right. So we don't know.

But if you're going to do an investigation, let's go all the way back because this, this, I just find it hard to believe that people are doing this in high government offices. You know, it's like a few years ago, you know, it came out that, you know, some of the top officials in intelligence in their home, their personal computers, the passwords that they were using for their personal email, it was like, you know, I don't remember but I remember. Like password. Yeah, like password.

They were using the word password or one, two, or 1234. And you're like, no way, no way can somebody be at that level of an intelligence agency and be using a password like that in their home communications. But anyhow, hey, I've got a lot of other things, but I'm going to skip it. I've got some visitors I have to greet here in a few minutes but I've got some other things I'm going to save it for tomorrow regarding drones but I got in with something humors and that's an animal video and this video when I saw it you just have to assume it was recorded in Russia. Yes. Like, what is it with the Russians and bears?

So here's a bear hugging his friend. Obviously they're very close, Rick. Doc! The bear's licking him. I know. I hope it's not tasting him. I hope it's an affectionate lick there. Oh, look.

They're hugging one another. They're hugging each other. What is it with Russians and bears? But don't you wish you had a bear that would do that for you? You don't. No, I don't trust a bear. I could never, ever pet a bear. I don't care how much he's smiling, I don't care.

His teeth are too big. I just could not do that. That bear would sense my apprehension and then decide, and then decide, yeah, I should eat him. I'm a bear. He's a person. Well, anyhow. Well, listen, tomorrow we have to get into that drone story because it is significant. What they're saying about the drones. Yeah, if you think the signal story is crazy, wait till you hear about the drones. Remember the drones in New Jersey?

A lot has come out in recent days about those drones. We'll present it tomorrow on Trinuze. Thank you so much. We appreciate your prayers and your support.

Doc Burkhardt is back.

Thank you, Jesus, for bringing him back online. My wife, Susan, is out today. Pray for her. Our CEO, Travis, is homesick today. Pray for this team. Obviously, the enemy wants to slow us down. So, yes, but we're fighters and we stay in the battle and we appreciate those who pray for us. And I think Doc's quick recovery is evidence of prayers working. So today we are almost at the end of chapter 8. We're going to do verses 31 through 34 and then tomorrow we will finish chapter 8 and move on to chapter 9 on Thursday.

So let's pray. Father, our wonderful Father, our most gracious, kind, generous, loving Father, we pray to you in the name of Jesus, your Son and our Savior. Father, we have gathered here virtually in this online Bible study class with brothers and sisters from many nations. We are one in Christ, and we are here to be taught by your Holy Spirit the wonders, the greatness, the depth, the richness of your Word. We ask for the Holy Spirit to take his seat at the head of the table and direct this Bible study in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Amen and welcome to Morning Man. I'm so glad to have you here with us no matter where you are in the world today. From Russia to Malaysia to Singapore to the Philippines to Singapore, to the Philippines, to all of the United States and Canada, and to our friends in Canada, say we love you, okay? You're not unloved by us, and so you are loved by us. And so we are looking at Roman chapter eight, verses 31 through 34 today. What shall we say then to these things? If God be forced, who can be against us?

He that spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies. Verse 34. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea, rather that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God,

who also maketh intercession for us. Only four small verses here, but these four verses are just packed with information today. You are going to be blessed by this lesson. Amen. And how many of you put into practice in your prayers yesterday and today,

what we learned yesterday? I did in my morning prayer. I changed the way I prayed this morning because of yesterday's lesson. The Holy Spirit revealed things to me yesterday. Talk about how the Spirit groaneth when we pray. I think you were taught the same way I was taught what that verse means, but it means something totally different. And the way I prayed today, I said, Father, I am expressing to you in my human weakness and frailty, my thoughts, my desires, my hopes, my requests, my petitions, and I am praying with the confidence that the Holy Spirit is taking what is coming out of my heart and my mouth and repackaging it, rewriting it,

re-speaking it with groanings that cannot be uttered on earth, but only in heaven, and that he is interceding for me right now. And what you are receiving is a supersized prayer that is in alignment with your will. I saw I prayed today, Doc. And it gave me a great deal of peace of knowing that I don't have to pray this perfect prayer. Amen. I don't have to pray this perfect prayer. Amen. Take the pressure off.

The Holy Spirit perfects it. Yes. That's what I learned yesterday. The Holy Spirit perfects my prayer. Yes. And the Holy Spirit saying to God the Father, what Rick is trying to say to you is this. Father, what Rick is trying to say to you is this.

Doc, I never saw that until yesterday. No, I didn't either, so. Praise God, all right, let's jump into verse 31. What then shall we say about these things if God is for us us who can be against us Listen to that devil if God be for us who can be against us Believers in Christ we stand unshaken We are upheld by God's Supreme

Favor his favor is paramount. It's an overarching power We are upheld by God's supreme favor. His favor is paramount. It's an overarching power that covers our lives. No foe, human or demonic, can topple those who God favors. You are invincible when you are in Christ. You gotta be my age to know what this means. Weevils wobble, but they don't fall down. Okay? How many remember weevils as a toy? Weevils wobble, but they don't fall down.

Christians wobble, but they don't fall down. Amen. Oh, yeah, you might be wobbling some days. You might be back and forth like, oh, she's going oh he's gonna fall face nope he just hopped right back up why because God is for you God is for you you cannot go down you cannot fail in Christ. Paul speaks of these things. What are these things? God's redemptive plan. His entire redemptive plan for you and mankind. When Paul says these things. He's talking about God's foreknowledge to glory. Right. His acts of salvation. God's choice secures your place, and you have a secure standing. You are marked, your identity is revealed, it is marked, it is known by God's grace. That's how Satan knows who is real, real in the kingdom of God. He looks for God's favor on somebody. When you're marked with God's favor, Satan knows, all right, that one's a real one. Yes.

God's watching out for her. God's protecting him. It's God's favor on you that identifies you to the enemy as a son or daughter of God. God's backing of you trumps every adversary adversary adversary excuse me. God's backing trumps every adversary. No enemy can succeed. Opposition crumbles before him. No one can oppose you. Do not fight your enemies. Do not wish for their demise.

Don't have glee when you see them punished. But if you wait long enough, you'll see God deal with your enemies and your critics and those who are trying to harm you. I'm thinking right now of someone, I'm not going to say his name, God, Doc, who I'm talking about. A man who several years ago, a man, a well-known man in the American church world, who made it his purpose, he was going to destroy me. I didn't fight with the man.

I didn't argue with the man. I didn't reply to him. I didn't take his bait. I didn't come out into the ring and fight with him. That's what he was trying to do. He wrote a chapter about me in one of his books. But in the last couple of months his ministry crumbled because he was exposed in a sex scandal. Yes, from decades ago.

Yes. I find no. I take no joy, no glee in it. I feel sorry. I was very disappointed when I heard that story. Very. I feel sorry for him. But I knew, I knew that if he did not change his ways, God was going to deal with him. I didn't know how, when, what my business. I just knew he will stop attacking me. So when you have an enemy, don't fight them. Don't go out and argue with them.

Don't. The Lord will rebuke you. The Lord will rebuke you. Hey, that's right. Even the angels say that. The Lord will rebuke you. And when they are in trouble, don't gloat or you might get your father's backhand.

No, actually the opposite. You better start searching your life. Because God's finding out all sorts of things right now. That's right. That's what I'm saying, Doc. Don't gloat. So... God's backing surpasses all. Okay, you cannot be defeated if you are in Christ. Yes.

Opposition crumbles before the Lord. His power reigns over all forces, human and non-human. No human or spiritual enemy stands a chance of flows from heaven to you through his his unmerited love for you grace not grit will win our human nature says if I just have enough grit, I can win this fight. No, you just need enough grace. Yeah, if you had enough grit, you wouldn't need God. That's right. So people think they have unlimited time or unlimited, even hard work or grit or whatever it is, everything except God.

But if God be forced, who can be against us? You don't have to break sweat. So Paul is, he's fond of using rhetorical questions, especially here in the book of Romans. I've lost count of how many questions he's asked because he's waiting to give you the answer. Well, he's teaching like a rabbi, Rick. That's the way the rabbis taught. Is it?

They would ask a question and they would respect or a response would be echoed back to them. Which is catechism. Right. So Paul says, who can be against us? The question is asked in such a way to tell you that you have guaranteed victory. That God's will cannot be undone. Right. And another thing that Paul does too,

when he asks a question like something like this, he's also he always is referring back to an Old Testament scripture. He always springs back to it. And so in this case, he's going back to Numbers 14, 9, where that very question is asked. But it's prefaced with, you should fear God. And then it says, if God be for us, who can be against us? And so when Paul asks this question, he wants the hearer to recognize, oh, I've heard that before. Where did I hear that? Well, that's back in Numbers. And so this is the way all Bible teachers should teach,

asking a question that prompts people to remember what the Word says. Yes, so yesterday we talked about the chain called, predestinated, glorified. All of these links in the chain from called to predestinated to glory. They forge one divine heavenly chain and it eternities thread holds this chain together keeps it tight. It's a seamless it's a timeless chain and Satan is going to pull so hard on that chain. It's going to break. It's impossible. impossible. fear bows to faith.

Hope fuels endurance through dark days. Remember, the spring always follows the winter. There's never been a winter that wasn't followed by a spring. If you're in a winter, just hang on. Endure, because Dawn will break and You will have hope amid adversity and there will be a day that the attack stops You feel it You know it. I can think of battles where I'm like, wow Something just changed today. Yes It's different today Wow, something just changed today. Yes. It's different today.

The enemy's gone. The oppression has lifted. The darkness has dissipated. There's light in my life again. You just feel it. There's a day the enemy just says, all right, I'm done. This guy's not cracking. Let's move on to some.

Let's go find a weak Christian that doesn't study the Word of God. Let's go find somebody that does not attend morning manna. Let's go find Christians that don't have time to spend one hour, five days a week in the Word of God. These morning manna people are too tough. And you think about that, you'll be in this class every day, okay? You're being built up. Your muscles are being built up. God's protection locks your fate. Grace guards the redeemed.

His plan always ends in radiant triumph. Hope always sings a victory song. So what are we learning Hope always sings a victory song. So what are we learning in this verse 31? God's favor outweighs all opposition. With God on your side, you have nothing to fear. These things include the promises and the assurance of your salvation. We are reassured of God's power in the midst of troubles. No power can succeed against God's plan for you?

The question that Paul asked affirms your security in Christ. When we place our trust in God, he gives us unshakable support. His presence in our life assures victory over all adversaries. Verse 31 gives us hope that God's control extends over all circumstances that with God's favor, you can overcome any obstacle, any opposition. Your foes will fall. Just remember that with God your foes will fall. You know there are people that, and this is one of those things with Doc, I got, it tripped me up for years, you know, and then took me a long time to figure out what, you know, you call Old Testament Christianity. There is no such thing. Right. But for years, I, you know, I heard

pastors and Bible teachers and Christian leaders talking about praying precatory prayers. You know, hey, this person's attacking me and I'm going to pray this prayer. David prayed this prayer. You know, Lord, rip his eyes out and smash his teeth. And, you know, they find those prayers in the Old Testament. Pull out his toenails. Well, those prayers aren't in the New Testament. And that used to trip me up. It's like, I don't understand. I'm praying this prayer out of the Old Testament,

but it doesn't fit the New Testament. What's going on here? And I got these preachers tell me this is the way you're supposed to pray about your enemies. But Jesus said love your enemies. Well, what's going on here? So, and I'm just being transparent with you, all right. A few years ago when we went through some intense opposition, particularly from the Zionists, both a Jewish Zionist and so-called Christian Zionist. It was intense.

They had every intention of destroying me. Yes. Oh, I mean, they didn't just want to rough me up. They wanted me dead, dead. They wanted me gone. And I wrestled with, all right, how do I pray about these people? And I'm like, Lord, you said to bless those who curse you, who despise you.

And I was just being honest. I would say, Lord, I can't honestly pray to bless these people. I can't find that in my heart to bless these people. These people are despicable. How do I, Lord, how do I obey you? Tell me how. And Doc, he made it so easy for me. He said, what's the greatest blessing that you could they could have? I said, to know you. To be filled with the Holy Spirit. Then pray that way for them.

Amen. Oh, praise this is easy now. Oh, Lord, this man that's calling me names and trying to destroy me and working against me behind my back, Lord, lead him to Christ. Fill him with the Holy Spirit. Let all of your love and grace and favor be upon him. Now I can pray a blessing on him, Because if he was filled with the Holy Spirit, he wouldn't be attacking me. So when you're in these battles, look, pray God's blessing

on somebody. Pray that they come in. If they're not saved, pray that they get saved. If they claim to be a Christian, pray that they would be convicted, filled with the Holy Spirit and allow the Holy Spirit to work in their lives the way they're supposed to submit to the Holy Spirit. Then you're right. They're being blessed. Okay. You're right. They're being blessed. Okay, verse 32. He that spared not his own son, but delivered him up for all, how shall he not be with him,

also freely give us all things? I read that again. I don't know if I said that right. He who didn't spare his own son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things? This one's so simple and easy to understand. If God the Father loves you so much that He would give His only begotten Son for you, how then can He and His Son not give you everything?

Yes. They already gave you the greatest, the best. Everything else is secondary. If He gave you the best, His Son, why would He not give you all these other things? His Son's death on the cross was the ultimate sacrifice, the ultimate gift. God doesn't have a greater gift to give you. He's not looking around in heaven saying, I gotta find something better than Jesus. There's nothing, there's nothing in heaven greater, better, more wonderful than that. And He gave His Son.

And so because He gave His Son, we can stay insecure. We're grounded in God's lavish grace flows from the cross. There's no stinginess in his plan. He gave his best. He didn't say, I'm going to hold back. He gave his very best, his Son. all with Him. Christ as our anchor, the central role. Our union with Him seals our fate. We receive all that God has with Christ. It speaks to the fact that God gives His Son everything, and the Son shares it all with us.

And that's exactly right. And so, because Ephesians chapter 1 verse 20, all things is one of my favorite things to talk about, all things. Ephesians 1.22 says, he put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head of all things to the church, saying that the father gave to Jesus all things and gave him to be the head of all things to the church. And then over in 1 Corinthians 15,

one of my favorite chapters to talk about, we find out that Christ gives us all things, including the kingdom, all things. So when we say all things, we mean all things, everything. Amen. We are joint heirs, co-heirs, we inherit everything including the kingdom, including the crown.

God's not hiding anything. Yes. He doesn't have a storage unit where he's keeping some stuff from us. It is the logic of generosity. That's what Alexander McLaurin called it. The logic of generosity, where you go from greater to lesser. It's the logic of grace if god gave his son all else follows the best proves the rest the gift of the best proves you get the rest oh i like that whoo! I put that on a hat and a t-shirt. Amen. Amen. That one I got to give to Alexander McLaren, Doc. He was a great

Baptist pastor in the 1890s, 1880s, 1890s in Great Britain. First president of the World Baptist Union. I guess he died around 1905. What a powerful preacher. All things, all things covers both spiritual and temporal. Salvation to daily needs, all things. Right, so what do you need? What's the thing you need?

What's the thing that you need in your life? Do you need peace? Do you need financial deliverance? Do you need assurance of your eternal destination? All these are things. All these are things. All things. Not most things, not some things, all things.

Yes. All things. Your position is greater than you realize. All of us are asking far below what we are entitled to. What are we entitled to? All things. All things. Every gap is filled with grace.

If there's a gap, God just fills it up with grace. And then there's no gap. Amen. The gifts that he sends you all things. You know this by now. They come from his unmerited love, not your earned worth. Amen. He's going to overwhelm you with his love. You're not going to overtake him with your work. His love will always outpace your work. Because his heart knows no boundaries. Praise God.

Think of it, his heart, his generosity has no boundaries. The death of Christ on the cross locked in every promise of God. It's a separate vision. No need. Stays unmet. All things. All needs are covered. When you rest in His will and what we learned yesterday is how to pray in His will.

We rest in our prayers knowing that the Holy Spirit is rewriting our words and aligning our prayers with God's will. As Doc prays, the Holy Spirit is saying to the Father, now Father, what Doc is really asking you is this. At the center of his heart, he truly desires to please you and to be in your will. And so this is what he's asking for. And the Holy Spirit then is now working in Doc's life to line up Doc with the will of God. This is how he works in our lives. But you can have this peace, this assurance that even your flawed, frail prayers, imperfect prayers are perfect by the time they reach heaven. Hallelujah.

They go through a perfection filter. Man, I'm going to go pray some imperfect prayers today, doc. Knowing that they are perfected. The cross opens the floodgates of heaven. So I know, and you know, I'm obviously, I'm a huge, big, enthusiastic promoter of generosity. But in the American evangelical church world,

the emphasis is on giving and not the cross. It's the cross that opens the floodgates of God's blessings. It's the cross that opens the floodgates of God's blessings. Yeah, and if you just monitor any given broadcast whether radio or TV out there in the modern Christian world, see how often they talk about the cross. It's a rare occasion, very rare occasion. See how often they talk about Jesus. Yes.

They'll talk about a thousand other things. They'll talk about giving, they'll talk about Israel, they'll talk about any number of topics except the cross and Jesus. And without those two things, there's nothing. We have no things, but with those we have all things. Without them we have no things, but with them we have all things. So we need to trust in God's character and lean into His generosity. Once you know his character and that his character is generous, then it's so much easier to receive his generosity. You're not imposing on him.

He wants you to lean into his generosity. Amen. God's grace will hold you through all storms of life. Faith will fuel the fight because you have this assurance that victory is yours. The Christ's sacrifice on the cross seals every needs supply. Glory. Yes. You can have confidence in divine provision because of the cross. His blood buys all. His blood covers both your salvation and the things you need for life.

His blood covers everything. His blood buys everything. You areable. You are unassailable. Amen. Glory's bounty flows from God's open hand. What are we learning in this verse? God's love and generosity and giving His Son for humanity's salvation. That His giving of His Son covers everything that you need in this life and the life to come. That concept is hardly taught in churches. Oh, there are many churches that teach correctly about the cross and your salvation.

There are many churches that teach correctly about the cross and your salvation. There are many churches that teach that correctly. But they don't extend it to what you need today to pay the light bill. Amen. They don't extend it to cover whatever problem you're facing today. All things. All things. His sacrifice on the cross covers all things. He could not give a greater gift than his son. If he gave his son the greatest gift, he will surely provide you with all the lesser gifts. Yes. It's not that hard to understand, is it?

No. Look, if I gave my house to Doc. Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Jesus, all right. Should he not expect me to give him the shovel too? I mean, am I going to go to my garage and say, Doc, you don't get the shovel. I'm taking the shovel. Ha ha ha. I'm grateful for the house.

But you don't get my shovel. If I did something that spectacular, why would I hold on to the shovel? Oh, you don't get the riding mower. No, no, no, no, no. You got the house, but you're not getting the writing more You get that on your own No, it's just see God said here. I'm giving you my son. I Looked around heaven. I looked throughout the universe. I couldn't find anything greater than my son. I gave you my son. Oh Okay, everything else is yours

everything Everything else is yours. Everything. Don't accept need, don't accept lack, don't accept defeat, don't accept sickness, don't accept worries, division, strife, don't accept it. And if you believe Ephesians 1.22, then what the Father has done, the Father has given all things to

Jesus that says it in Ephesians 1 22 and gave it to him as the head of the church and if we're part of the church guess what we have access to everything Christ has all the all things there and said Paul talks about these all things there. And so Paul talks about these all things several times in the New Testament. And so- All things. All things. All things. The promises of God, the inheritance of God,

salvation, healing, deliverance, all things. We also learned in this verse that Christ is the foundation, that all things come with Him. Yes. You get Jesus, you get all things. Yes, that's right. It comes, everything comes with Jesus. Wherever Jesus goes, all things are with him. Yeah, you point this out every once in a while about wherever the king goes, the kingdom goes with him. That's right.

If King Charles is traveling to Australia, you know, the kingdom's not sitting back in the UK. The kingdom follows wherever King Charles is. That's right. And so wherever Jesus is, is where his kingdom is. That's right. And all of the king's wealth and power and prestige goes with him. We'll go down to verse 33. We've got two more verses here.

Verse 33, who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. A modern version is who could bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who justifies. You as a believer in Christ stand firmly as God's chosen elect, and you are immune to any charge or accusation.

Yes. Assuming you're not guilty of it. His choice seals your fate. It's God the Father who declares you righteous, and that silences all foes. No rival voice prevails. You can't shout above God's voice. Your enemies are shouting guilty, and God is shouting innocent. And he shouts louder. Your enemies, your critics cannot out shout God.

Yes. He declares you to be his chosen son or daughter. And he will go to war for you. You don't believe me? You let somebody pick on a child and watch how fast mama gets in it. You let somebody at the baseball diamond start picking on a little boy watch how fast dad comes out of the bleachers Hey, that's what your father does for you Hey when he sees Satan Ganging up on you the father comes and says get away from him

Break it up get away. That's my son. That's my daughter. You get away. I don't care what you say. I don't care what you accuse him or her. You get away. That's my son. That's my daughter and they are perfect. Your father sees you as perfect. That is amazing. Because His blood covers you. And when He looks at you, He sees the blood of Christ. His Son died for you, shed His blood for you. So, satanic, demonic, heumonic accusations crumble and bow before God's verdict.

But no accusation can override God's verdict. All claims fall flat. No accusation prevails. Your accuser's voice is muted by God's decree. Amen. Satan's charges against you hit a wall. Why? Because grace triumphs and justification stands. To be righteous means to be in right standing.

When you are justified, you're righteous. When you are justified, you're righteous. When you are justified, you are standing. And you will not fall over. Like I said earlier, weevils wobble, but they don't fall down. You're not gonna collapse. There might be somebody right now today, maybe you're concerned your life is about to collapse.

It's not going to collapse. Amen. Stand on his word. All the wolf is outside your door blowing on your house. It's not going to fall. You need to have that peace today. Your house isn't going to fall. Your business isn't going to fall.

Your family's not going to fall. No adversary wins. None. None can succeed. God's choice of you locks your destiny. It's this really is eternal security. When you are in Christ, you have this confidence that Christ will uphold you, that no force on earth or in the supernatural world can unseat you. You are seated in heavenly places and Satan

cannot remove your seat. When God says you're justified, that's the last word. Amen. It's an irrevocable verdict from the judge. And that gavel says justified. The case is over. It doesn't matter what anyone else says at that point. There are no other witnesses. The prosecution can't say anything. Nobody can say anything. It is God that justifies. And eternity echoes the judge's call. It's the final verdict.

So, rest in grace's hold of your life. There have been times when I wasn't quite sure what I was going through. And I just said, Father, hold me tight. You know, you're like a little child gripping your father's hand. Hey, hold on to me. It's getting really dark around here. I'm not sure what's going on. As long as I can feel my father gripping my hand, I'm tight. Nothing's going on. As long as I can feel my Father grip in my hand, I'm tight, nothing's going to get me. And that's the way you gotta be

when you're going through a difficult time. Just Father, hold my hand. I'm not going away from you. I gotta be close to you. If I'm close to you, I know I'm safe. I know that we're coming out of this thing. We're coming out in the light, I'm going to be a winner. Praise God. Because you've already won. You've already won.

Christ already won and you're in Christ, therefore you've already won. Trials always bow to hope. You will always win. Even sometimes when the victory doesn't even look like victory. If God declares it a victory, it's victory. So no accusation can stand against those who are justified by God. And because it's God who himself who justifies, no other verdict matters. You've got a special standing as one of God's chosen people.

All accusations from Satan from the world. Or even yourself. Are nullified. God's declaration of righteousness is final. It's unchangeable praise Praise God. And you can stand confidently against accusations knowing that you are justified. Your justification provides you with complete immunity from any spiritual charge from the enemy.

That's right. Because God has control of your destiny. He gets the final word, and He says you're saved. That's right. You're coming home. Let's go. Come home. Let's go to verse thirty-four. We'll wrap it up here for today.

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died. Yay. Rather that is risen again. Who is even at the right hand of god who also maketh intercession for us. World English Bible says, who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes, rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God,

who also makes intercession for us. You stand uncondemned, and nobody can judge you. That's right. No angel in heaven, no demon in hell, no religious person on earth, nobody. Nobody. Nobody can condemn you. You might be surrounded by condemning voices, but they don't matter. It's just the devil trying to get you to get off of your position in Christ, to move off of your position.

You stand. Let them condemn you all day. God will eventually shut their mouths. Amen. Every tongue that rises in judgment against me, thou shall condemn. That's what I say when people are judging me, when they're condemned. Hey, your tongue rising in judgment against me. That's right. Lord condemn their tongue. So nobody can judge you. It's impossible. The work of Christ on the cross locks your fate for eternity. You are securely the elect. His sacrifice on the cross wiped your slate clean.

He removed the penalty of sin. And his atonement holds you fast because the penalty was paid. He satisfied justice. His resurrection proves that He won. And death bows to life. Yes. Jesus Christ reigns with power to save. He's in a position of authority.

And his throne guards his own. Amen. That's good. Ooh, the king, the king's throne guards his own. You think about that all day. You had to write that one down. The king's throne guards his own. How much confidence do you have in your king? We have a king who guards his own. So when Satan is messing with you, all you have to say is, well, I'm going to tell the

king. That's right, because the king is there making intercession for us. If someone comes along and condemns the king is there. And for your information Satan I happen to be related to the king. We're kin, we're family. I'm in close. So if you know what's good for you Satan Satan, you back off because the king is coming. And you know what that means, devil. Okay. You don't have to take his stuff. The work of Christ on the cross defeated all foes. No accuser can stand.

Christ always prevails. If you are in Christ, you will prevail. You will rise above accusations. He went from the cross to the grave, to resurrection, to ascension, to intercession. To make your salvation complete. Why is He seated at the right hand of the Father interceding for you? To make your salvation complete. He's going to bring you home.

His mission is to bring you home. He will hold tight to you in this life. He will not let go. And every day, every hour, every minute, He's interceding for you. Yes. And it starts with intercession by the Spirit, because we read back in verses 26 and 27 that it's the Spirit that make its intercession for our infirmities, or where we fall short. And then on the other side it says here in verse 34 that it's Christ Himself who makes intercession for us if we're ever accused or condemned because of those infirmities. And this is another instance where Paul is just saying you got his spirit or you got Jesus, either one, they're making intercession for you.

So earlier I said, lean into his generosity. Amen. Now I'll tell you, lean into his ceaseless intercession. Praise God. Rest in it, have assurance. He's interceding to God the Father right now for you. And you will win. And no one else is making that intercession for us.

No. Not even Jesus' mama. That's right. The king himself does it. And no charge, no accusation against you will stick. None. Because you wear a crown of grace. And again, we said earlier, that's what marks you. God's grace on your life is what marks you as the chosen one. If Jesus is interceding for you, it means he's speaking about you. Amen You are safe in his voice His voice protects you

The fact that he's speaking about you Proves that he knows you he loves you he cares about you. Proves that He knows you, He loves you, He cares about you. So what did we learn in this verse? The question that Paul asks, the rhetorical question, assures believers that no one can condemn us. That His death on the cross paid the penalty for sin and that removed the grounds for condemnation. Amen. That the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the proof of God's acceptance of the atonement provided by Jesus and your justification. That Jesus's position at the right hand of God reflects his authority

and his ongoing work on behalf of all believers. And that intercession guarantees that your salvation is secure. Amen. The work of Christ guarantees your victory over condemnation, accusation, opposition. condemnation, accusation, opposition. Nothing more is needed than what Christ has already done for you. Praise God. Hallelujah. Oh, no work. It's done.

He said on the cross, it is done. Now believe it and rest in it. Walk in it today. It's done. I don't have another thing to say doc. What else is there to say? It's done. It's finished. It's done. What else is there to say? It's done. It's finished. It's done. It's done. Praise God. Well, that's a great lesson. Anybody being blessed by what we're talking about today? Yeah, and did Rick clear up some things that may have been confusing in the past for you? See the responses. People were blessed today by this lesson, Rick. So I'm glad. This is good. I want you to have peace. I want you to rest in Christ. That whatever's troubling you, whatever's worrying you, that is defeated. That if you rest in Christ and walk according to the Spirit eventually those things will bow before Christ

Enjoy the day lean into his generosity lean into his intercession into his intercession. Lean into the Holy Spirit fixing your prayers. It's like spell check. The Holy Spirit's like Grammarly, like spell check. He's a great translator. Yep, the Holy Spirit said, hey, that prayer's got a lot of typos in it. I mean, clean it up. Here's what he's saying. Here's what she wanted to say. And by the time it reaches the Father's ears, it's just lined up with his will.

So rest, just rest, rest, rest. Enjoy life, enjoy. You have everything you need everything you complete he's everything he's your storehouse everything you need is in him he's your pantry he's everything. Praise God. All right. Praise the Lord. Great night today, Rick.
