TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - Morning Manna - Nov 7, 2025 - Romans 10:17 - Faith Comes by Hearing: The Power of the Spoken Word

Episode Date: November 7, 2025

Romans 10:17 declares the divine sequence of salvation—“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Faith does not arise from imagination or emotion but from encountering the living Word proclaimed with power. In this Faith Friday edition of Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart explore how the spoken rhema of God awakens belief, how hearing produces obedience, and why the health of one’s faith depends on continual exposure to the Word. This teaching calls believers back to disciplined listening, faithful proclamation, and trust in the God who still speaks through His Word.Teachers: Rick Wiles and Doc BurkhartYou can partner with us by visiting FaithandValues.com, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.MEGA FIRE reveals the ancient recurring cycles of war and economic collapse that have shaped history for 600 years.

Well, good morning, everybody. Welcome to Faith Friday on Morning Manna. On Fridays, we study the word of faith. And it's the single word that we focus on, faith. What is it? How do we receive it? What do we do with it? How can you lose it?

Right. And here we are. We're in November. And we have been talking about faith every Friday. throughout 2025 and will continue it as God leads into 2026 and I don't know how it's affecting others it's affecting me just preparing the lessons I'm learning things about faith I didn't know you know for me that the biggest the biggest surprise of the year was the Lord telling me to teach them boat faith i've never heard of boat faith but we ended up spending about two months

talking about boat faith so i know the lord has more surprises for us going into 2026 so doc let's i'm going to pray and then um you're going to have um a long reading of one verse okay i Romans 10. 17, Romans 1017. Father God, Father, we love you and we praise you. Father, we glorify you. We come to you in the name of your holy son, our king, Jesus Christ. Father, we are here to learn about your word and to learn specifically today about faith. So we ask the Holy Spirit, to direct this class, this discussion, and bless us with knowledge and revelation and understanding of faith in the name of Jesus. Amen. Welcome to Faith Friday, everyone, here on Morning Manet. We're so privileged to have you here with us no matter where you are in the world today. And we love

connecting with people from all over planet Earth, from Switzerland to Russia to Southeast Asia, Japan, all across the U.S. and Canada. Thank you for joining us. This is Faith Friday here on Morning Manna. On Fridays, we dedicate our teaching to building up your faith, and we've been doing that all this year here in 2025. And at the end of our lesson on Fridays, we always honor the Lord's table.

And so at the end of our lesson, we'll be participating in the Lord's Supper. And who may participate? Well, basically, we say to you, if you're a confessing believer in Jesus Christ and you've been baptized in water according to the scriptures and we extend an invitation to you to participate in the Lord's table and Jesus says often as you do it do it in remembrance of him and that's why we do it we are focusing on a single verse today here on Faith Friday it's found in Roman chapter 10 verse 17 Roman chapter 10 verse 17 I'm reading from the

King James this morning simple verse but packed with a lot So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. God bless the reading of his word today. Well, Doc, can we build a one-hour lesson out of one verse? How about a one-year lesson out of one verse? Right. So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. the

Paschita Aramaic Paschita is identical the Greek rendering is so faith comes through hearing and hearing through the utterance of Christ

now doc you know next week we're you know as you know, our class knows, you and I are going to be on a very important business trip that is related to the future of this ministry. And so we have to travel. We were originally, our plan was to pre-record five lessons for next week.

I got sick earlier in a week with a head cold. I just didn't have the energy to do 10 lessons. That's what I'd have to do for this week. I'd have to do 10 lessons. I just, I didn't have the energy to do it. And so, Jodi recommended it. She said a lot of people are always requesting that we teach again on the parables. She said, it's the number one request that we receive from our classmates.

They want to hear more about the parables. so what we're going to do next week is that we're going to replay a five lesson teaching on the parable of the sower we did five days just on that topic the parable of the sower and that's going to be next week so today's faith Friday with Romans 1017 is a good lead in yes to next week to next week weeks focus on the parable of the sower because roman 1017 explains how divine faith is planted nourished multiplied that the faith grows wherever the word is faithfully proclaimed and humbly received so in this lesson today we're going to look at Three great truths that are in Romans 10, 17.

The origin of faith, the channel of faith, the object of faith. The origin of faith is it comes from hearing. The channel of faith is it's hearing God's word. The object of the faith is Jesus Christ. So let's begin with the origin of faith. faith cometh by hearing the Greek words

by hearing okay it literally means out of hearing faith comes out of hearing it it it appears

faith appears it develops it develops out of your hearing the word of god right okay it's produced as a result of like a mother gives birth yes it's not by hearing you know okay i heard this it is as yes doc that's the right word I'm trying your spirit you you give birth to faith it comes out of your hearing right

the word of God is born out of your hearing the word of God so faith is not passed down from generation to generation it is not produced by your intellect it comes only

when the pure word of God is heard when it's preached heard received believed you have to have all this together

the word has to be preached uncompromised without human contamination the word not somebody's doctrine the word

preach the word it has to be audibly heard it has to be received meaning your inner man is not resisting what you're being

what you're hearing right and then it has to be believed what is belief belief is a thought that's energized with emotion I hear things all day long

and I don't believe it right but there are things that I hear that I believe because I put my emotion into that thought so hearing implies not mere sound but receptive obedience the heart must be open to receive again you can have

You can have words going into your ears, but inside your heart can have, if your heart had arms and the arms are crossed going, uh-uh, nope, don't believe it. Don't believe it. I'm thinking about, Doc, a former employee who didn't think I was qualified. Notice the word former there. Yeah, he had a, he had a spirit of him. And one Sunday night in our church, as I was teaching on on Holy Communion. And I was explaining the difference between the Passover meal

and the Lord's Supper and I'm at the pulpit teaching and this employee is sitting there in the audience and his head's just going like this arms crossed yeah he's arms crossed and he's going I don't think he was aware consciously aware of what he was doing

but me as a the teacher I'm looking at him and I'm going oh your heart's closed you're saying i i hear you but i don't i don't receive it i don't believe it so your heart when when the word is being taught in a pure uncompromised way and you're speaking of christ that the people who are hearing need to have an open heart they need to be receptive uh they're spiritual heart needs to listen as well as their physical ears that's why Jesus had to say that those who have ears to hear let him hear in other words you know everybody's got ears but not

everybody's listening doc they didn't listen to Jesus yeah they were over there he was he was looking into the crowd seeing people shaking their heads no what happened when he talked about when he was describing holy communion and he said you know you're going to eat my flesh and drink my blood a lot of the crowd including his own disciples walked away and said this is too much for us walked away sorrowful yeah sorrowful I just walked away but they were like upset man we we believe that guy yeah and listen to what he's teaching now he's teaching us to eat his flesh and drink his blood and they walked away sorrowful his it was his disciples it wasn't the Pharisees and the sadducees it was his disciples

now disciples i'm not talking about the men who became apostles i'm talking about the bigger crowd of disciples. So, Jesus, to this day, because it's him who's speaking, to this day, people are resisting the word. So the more a believer, and you can only be a believer if you believe, the more a believer, the more a believer hears the word of God the more

capacity for trust is created it's the spirit of God that opens the inner ear it's the spirit of God that turns sound into revelation without the spirit of God of God you cannot spiritually hear the word that's right it's just audible sounds it's the grace of god

imparted by the holy spirit that it opens our inner ears to hear what the word of god is saying that's why all of us from time to time we'll go wow when did that when was that put in the bible i've never heard that before because at that moment the holy spirit opened our ears it wasn't that we were in rebellion or sinning or anything like that it was just we weren't ready for it we but there comes a time when the Holy Spirit says, you're ready, you're now ready for something. I'm going to open up your eyes and ears and your heart to receive a truth you didn't know before. So hearing the word repeatedly deepens conviction and produces steadfast faith, again, to the credit of the morning manor class. You are devoted.

one hour a day, sometimes 90 minutes a day, five days a week, to hear the Word of God. And the Holy Spirit is working inside of you. The Word is working inside of you. Your faith is increasing. The process of increasing your faith is continuous. Doc, Romans, it says faith comes. that's that's present tense it doesn't say faith came right faith came to you by hearing the word of God no faith comes right in other words it's an ongoing process it's it wasn't a one-time event it's an event that started it's continuing and will continue yes but your faith can decline when your spiritual ears grow dull

when you start to lose your hunger for the word then your faith will decline so no man or woman can can grow in faith without remaining a hear of God's voice you can't say well I was really into the Bible 10 years ago and I just loaded up on it and I've been I've been running on that ever since no it didn't work that way you have to there has to be continuous study the word here

hearing the word okay um and this notice this says faith comes by hearing okay doesn't say faith comes by reading should we study the word of course but we should hear the word it clearly says here when you hear the word preached hear the word taught just hear The audible word of God, which we have technology today that there's no excuse not to hear the word. They didn't have audio recordings in those days. I showed Doc a couple months ago when I was deep into researching the ministry of A.A. Allen. And so he was a healing evangelist in the 60s, early 70s. I guess he started there in the 50s.

Right. But he invented something. He had his own vinyl press. All right. So this is how you made records. And you had to have a record player. You had to have a vinyl press. meaning a machine that would make the records so his ministry had their own record-making press

and he invented something called the Talking Bible and he was publishing the big albums of him reading the word called the Talking Bible that was a that was a major advancement in technology and the word of God. Doc, for the first time, I mean, it's almost on the level, I guess, of the Gutenberg Press, which allowed people to publish the Bible. So when the recording industry came along, look how long, look how long, Doc, how many decades after the invention of the phonograph, until one preacher said, hey, let's put the Word of God on a record.

With the Gutenberg Press, it was invented to print the Word of God. Right. But the church was really slow with the invention of the phonograph record player. They started to get behind in technology. But the point of making is AAL and put the Word of God on a record. that was the I think the first time it was done maybe there was somebody else who did it the point I'm making is we have the Word of God on our phones now you can listen any time of the day to the Word of God faith comes by hearing no man a woman can grow in faith without remaining a hearer of God's word. Faith is not

excuse me faith is not born in silence. Faith awakens when the voice of God is heard through his word. Faith just doesn't wake up one day.

It only awakens when the word is heard faith doesn't begin with what we speak to God but with what God speaks to us you can

and I've seen these people these preachers who I don't seem so much any these days there was a time years ago right they're going to have faith schools and show you how to work up and build up your faith

so your prayers are more your prayers are more dynamic no faith comes by what god says not what god's not sitting there on his throne saying i need somebody to talk to me with some powerful faith now he's speaking to us His word speaks and his word activates faith in us. It's not just audible sound. It is spiritual attention. Yes. We both hear and we obey.

We hear, we receive, we believe, we obey. The Holy Spirit converts the sound of God's word into spiritual revelation he opens the ear of our heart so the measure of faith that we receive depends upon the quality of our hearing

yes what are we listening to what are we hearing Matthew Henry said The ear is the door of faith God enters the soul by his word when the ear is open and the heart prepared God enters the soul by his word John Gill said

Not every hearing begets faith But that which is attended it with spiritual discernment and divine operation. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. The phrase, excuse me, by the Word of God, literally means through the word concerning Jesus Christ. It's all about Christ. It's not about Israel. It's not about the temple.

It's not about a red heifer. It's about Jesus Christ. Amen. If you're listening to the Word of God and your faith is focused on anything but Christ, you're wasting your time. If you're studying the temple, then don't study it to say I have to understand

how the new temple is going to be built and animal sacrifices are going to be reinstated. That's blasphemy. You study the temple to understand Jesus. That he is our temple. Yes. Every instrument in the tabernacle

and by extension the temple represents Jesus. everything. Tabernacle more closely. The temple got a gold fringe on it. The Strong's concordance renders to Greek

translation as this. Consequently, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ. Right. And it's in response to what Paul is saying in verse 16. Who hath believed our report? who has who's believed our report and so when you hear a report you know you're you're taking in

the information who therefore has believed our report therefore faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god yes it requires belief in the accurate information being received in this case the word of god yes and more specifically the word of christ christ the messiah christ the king Christ the Savior Okay John 1 verses 1 through 5 In the beginning was the word And the word was with God

And the word was God The same was in the beginning with God All things were made by him And without him was not Anything made That was made In him was life And the life was the light of men

And the light shith in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not because they audibly heard Jesus speak but they spiritually didn't hear him speak

in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God consequently faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ when you hear the word of Christ the word of God, the Bible you are hearing Christ

you cannot separate the two He is the word It's another thing that just is so outrageous about Christian Zionism We've got Jesus over here We got Israel over here we're going to study Israel we'll put Jesus over here for a later study

right well the ancient Jews tried that same thing and it didn't work the word is Christ faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ faith flows through revelation through the words that God has spoken and still speaks by his spirit today yes the preached word the taught word the audible word of God is God's chosen instrument for a

awakening faith in the heart. You cannot have faith without hearing the word of God. The two are synonymous. They come together. You can't separate it. I know people who claim to be Christians and they don't read the Bible. They don't study the Word of God. they don't listen to teachings they don't do anything with the word right but they believe they have faith they believe that you know they're super duper christians and there's no word in them but they'll tell you when you quote the word when you tell them something based on the word they'll tell you you're wrong and you go where do you get that

And they can't answer. The Word creates what it commands. When God says believe, the Holy Spirit imparts power to believe. When you are hearing the Word of God, the Holy Spirit by grace gives you the faith to believe it's all by grace amen so faith comes when the word of God scripture is read taught

heard sung meditated upon every form of exposure in largest trust it's good that's why Doc points out read the word of God aloud yourself in your own voice faith comes by hearing yeah get it in your mouth

speak it speak the word read it out loud you'll be amazed what you hear God say to you when you read the Bible out loud that's right you'll say I didn't know that was in the Bible did that come out of my mouth that's right

now the object of faith faith comes by hearing hearing by the word of christ faith is not placed in an idea faith is not placed in a place like israel faith is placed in a person Jesus Christ the living word that's where your faith goes

if it's in anything else it's not faith it's not going to produce anything so the written word leads to the living word and faith grows in us as Christ is revealed in hearing the scriptures Jesus Christ is both the speaker

and the substance of faith's message he is the word and he talks about himself that's right he's the only one is allowed to talk about himself it's all about him it's all about him and if it bothers somebody well you're going to have trouble when you meet him because it's all about him because every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord

this is why we shouldn't judge a preacher or teacher's eloquence the main thing is is that man or woman teaching or preaching the word that's that's what produces that's why sometimes an old country preacher with limited vocabulary gets more done for

god than another guy with a stack of of seminary degrees because if you're preaching the word purely the word is what makes things happen right when the scripture is open jesus speaks faith hears him and faith lives praise god the word of God carries creative power Jesus said to his friend Lazarus who was into tomb dead wrapped up in burial cloths Lazarus come forth

Yes Lazarus ears heard His dead ears His dead ears Rick His death hears heard the Word of Christ. He said, hey, ask me. That's Jesus' voice.

He addressed Lazarus. Yes, he addressed Lazarus. Yes. With an instruction, come forth. Lazarus heard the word of God by faith and obeyed. while he did he is but you know what we were we were just as dead we were just as dead as Lazarus

as incredible as the story of Lazarus hearing through his dead ears the word of faith we were in the same boat yes because the spirit of God unites the word of God and hearing to quicken and bring alive dead spirits every one of us at some point in your life christ said doc come forth that's right Barbara come forth Tracy come forth

and I was dead as dead as Lazarus yes deader than Lazarus You were dead. If you can be. That's right. See, the voice of Christ never ceases to speak. The voice of Christ is speaking continuously 24-7 throughout the world. Only closed ears. Miss it.

But the word is being broadcast. And what's ironic. is that day when Jesus spoke there were people that had ears and didn't hear him and here was a dead guy with dead ears that heard Jesus

there were people with living ears that didn't hear Jesus that's what oh man they'll get down in you oh wow faith comes by hearing even dead ears yes in Matthew 11

verse 15 Jesus said he that have ears to hear, let him hear. Hearing, spiritual hearing begins before the sermon or the lesson begins. I want you to keep that in mind with morning manna class. Remove noise, distractions, prejudice,

whatever is trying to absorb your attention before the lesson or the sermon begins remove it some of you will say okay i get this just before you start to listen to morning manna something happens in the home in the office in the workplace someplace you get distracted there's somebody comes in wants to talk or somebody wants to have an argument or or or There's, you know, there's something that's coming at you just before the lesson begins. So it's helpful to actually begin the morning man a lesson before Doc and I begin teaching.

You do it by calming your spirit. by centering your faith on Christ take a few minutes Father the morning man of class is about to start I pray that my mind and heart is on Christ

and that I receive knowledge of a word today and get your heart ready before the lesson begins okay the Spirit, the Holy Spirit instructs to prepare but the careless

listener walks away unchanged so Alexander McLaren said the mind must be still before it can listen the spirit's whisper is drowned in the world's thunder Charles Spurgeon said

Faith feeds where the mouth of the soul is open Expectancy is face appetite Charles Simeon said to profit by hearing The soul must come hungering A full heart receives nothing In the old covenant scriptures God told the Hebrews keep these words. The words of the law.

Keep the words of the law in your heart. And the instruction was, the principle here is that you're responsible. After you hear the word taught, and after you read the word, you are responsible to maintain and keep the word in your heart so faith grows not

by hearing once but by retaining what is heard and so meditation helps turn hearing into possession that's why

one of my major goals for 2026 is to turn these lessons into booklets so that you have a brief condensed way to go back and say, yes, we studied this topic and here are the notes from that morning man a lesson. Here's the outline.

These are the main points that we covered. Because we have to, look, I, we say things in this class, you know, that we didn't come in here, expecting any planning to say it but the holy spirit speaks to us and later i'm thinking i got to go back and listen to that myself yeah i've done it myself isn't amazing doc so repetition is faith's rehearsal what we rehearse we remember what we remember we rely on that's why catechism is such an effective way of teaching people in the church most protestants think catechism is oh isn't that a roman catholic thing no no catechism means echo

right the teacher speaks the student echoes uh you know our early public school system that's how we taught we taught students math and reading and by the teacher saying here's here's the answer now you give the answer back to me so there's the message here is after you've heard word to word your responsibility doesn't end i don't know how many of you in morning manna take notes that's a good thing to do just take notes uh again we're gonna our goal is to have workbooks not only the outline but places for you to write notes in the the workbook so as you're listing you can you can be writing your own thoughts

I've seen in chat sometimes like amazing I don't get a chance to look at chat while the class is going on because I'm teaching but once in a while I glanced down when Doc's talking and I'm like somebody just said something that's amazing yeah

a revelation that we didn't have yeah we've got some good students Rick some very insightful students and I wish we could be capturing all these gyms John Wesley said the ear is but the conduit, the heart is the vessel where the word must be kept. In Luke 8, verse 18, Jesus said, take heed how you hear. Okay, so again, this is to remove distractions, to remove interferences.

But I think it also goes too, Rick, too. We have to be careful what we are listening to and hearing in general. Yes. Okay. You know, I'm not trying to be condemning or anything like that, but if all you listen to all day long is news, news, news, news, Donald Trump, Congress, this, that or those things, all that all day long. You are also hearing some things, too, that you're putting faith in.

Yes, you're canceling faith. It's being built by Alex Jones or by Fox News or whatever. I'm not saying that there isn't a place for that information. But they're not lifting up Christ. right a lot of the stuff these people say cancels the word of God

right I would say fear comes by hearing too wouldn't you absolutely yes fear comes by hearing the news again

it's the reason the Lord just said stop it it's now become negative you're harming my saints more than helping them so distraction when the mind wanders faith cannot take root

prejudice when we decide beforehand what God's can or cannot say familiarity when the word becomes routine instead of revelation. Oh, I know that.

I heard this verse before. Neglect. When we hear what we don't meditate. Disobedience. When hearing is divorced from doing. Listen to what Charles Spurgeon said. The devil has a seat. near every pulpit not to stop the preacher's mouth but to close the hearer's ear

Jesus said blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it hearing produces revelation hearing produces conviction hearing produces direction. Hearing produces transformation. Hearing produces multiplication, 30, 60, 100-fold. The word heard and obeyed becomes faith in motion. John Calvin said the ear is the chief inlet of faith and the obedience that follows is its fruit. I'm going to wrap up here with some more quotes from the commentators, and then we'll go to the Lord's table. Another comment from Calvin.

See, most people today would, they would never think, John Calvin talked about faith. Yeah. Sure he did. I'm learning that. He talked a lot about faith. Yes. Calvin said faith needs the word as

its foundation without the word faith is only opinion with the word it becomes certainty john gill said faith is wrought and increased by hearing not a natural hearing only but that which is attended with the spirit's illumination opening both ear and heart matthew henry said the word of god is the ordinary means of beginning and increasing faith god's speech the soul believes the ear is the door of faith. Charles Simeon said faith is not an act of imagination, but a revelation. It springs from hearing what God has spoken and receiving it as truth. Charles Spurgeon, the hearing ear is the road to the believing heart.

Faith does not grow in the garland. garden of silence, but in the soil of the word. Albert Barnes, the great principle of faith is that it rests on testimony. The word of God furnishes the testimony, which alone can produce it. Alexander McLaren, faith is the act by which the soul catches the echo of God's voice and makes it music within itself. and Charles Bridges said the word without the spirit cannot profit

the spirit without the word will not act together they make the ear an altar where faith is kindled making the ear and altar yes I like that praise God praise God all right doc

I like that so wow another great faith friday lesson rick and i pray that uh folks are taking this to heart today faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god and i just encourage you make the word a priority in your life each and every day it's how faith is generated in your life good faith great faith so we're going to uh by faith we're going to enter into the lord's table here in just a few moments but i ask you to prepare your hearts prepare your minds and prepare the elements of the Lord's table with bread and either red wine or grape juice that we participate in. And as we eat this meal of faith today, I would ask that Rick

would pray for us that, Lord, we believe, help our unbelief, that we would take extra effort to make the Word of God not only a priority in our hearing, but also in our speaking as well, that we speak the words of God by faith in our life. It's not enough that we just take it all in, but we're putting it out too. So would you pray for us today, Rick, that we would take this a lesson to heart today as we prepare for the Lord's table.

I was just looking at the comments, Doc. Marianne said, a lot of your classes bring tears to my soul, overwhelming emotion. It's the word that's doing it. It's the word working in you as you're hearing the word. The Holy Spirit is what's causing you to have tears. Praise God.

And these are good tears. This is good. Okay. Thomas said, I enjoyed true news, but I am thankful for your obedience to cease and worldly news and move forward and towards more sharing good news. The Word of God. Thank you. A lot of people dropped off, but you know what?

they made a decision didn't they think about it think about the thousands of people who were following this ministry that when i stopped the news and went 100% with the word those people said i'm done with rick wiles and dr berkhart i got other things to do what they were saying is I'm not interested in the Word of God. Does that affect me? No, not really, but I'll tell you who is offended by it.

That's Jesus Christ, the Word. See, what they're saying is they don't understand that Jesus is the Word. When a person says, I'm not interested. I want to hear news. I don't want to be. in a bible study what they're saying is i'm not interested in jesus christ you got it and we we get emails to that effect too even to this day people write us now the blue you know i used to

listen to you all the time that we haven't done news in what seven months now right right oh we get them every day i i used to support you financially but i cut it off when you stop reporting the news and i'm writing you a letter to let you know too seven months later i'm telling you about it okay oh well you know they've made they've made clear what their priorities are our priorities are faith we want to see faith increased in your life that you are operating faith that you're speaking faith that you're living in faith that faith is your your language everything that you speak not fear it's easy to speak fear in this world it takes courage to speak faith you have to be fearless to speak faith today yes there's a storm coming folks i'm telling you there's a big storm

coming and there's going to be a lot of people left in the storm without the word and they're going to not know what to do yes okay but those who have the word are going to go through it and actually be multiplied. Amen. Geraldine said, I call it the trash taking itself out. People walked out on Jesus. Why would I be offended?

People walk out on me. They walked out on Jesus Christ. Often, they just walked away from him. People that had walked with him for years. God was standing there. God was standing there in human flesh and humans walked away. They're still walking away today. Well, let's pray. Father, Father, we, we are grateful to be here.

We're grateful for your son. We're grateful that you sent your son, Jesus, that we would be saved. Our sins forgiven. our sins removed and that your spirit would dwell inside of us Father we desire to believe we ask Father that if there's any any unbelief in us that you reveal it to us so that we can remove it and fully completely believe your word

which is your son Jesus Christ we ask this in jesus name thank you lord hallelujah we just worship you right now we praise you we thank you lord for your sweet wonderful grace lord thank you lord hallelujah thank you lord praise god praise god well we're going to enter into the lord's table at this time and so if you've got the components of the Lord's table there in front of a prayer of blessing over it. This is a meal of faith. Jesus commanded us to participate in this meal until he comes again. And so by faith, not only are we obeying the Lord's command, we're honoring his death,

burial, and resurrection, but we're doing more than that. This meal is a foretaste of the promise yet to receive. By faith, we're receiving this meal, knowing that one day, we're going to sit down with Jesus and eat it with him in our resurrected bodies. That's faith. Faith does that. Faith says, I'm eating this now so I can eat with him later. So we are going to pray a blessing over this.

And by faith, we're going to receive the bread and wine and believe that God is going to activate this faith in our life to help us do more and be more for him and for his kingdom. and pray with me now. Almighty God, in your tender mercy, you gave your only begotten son, Jesus Christ, who suffered death upon the cross for our redemption. He offered himself and made once for all time a perfect and sufficient sacrifice for the sins of the whole world.

He instituted this remembrance of his passion and death, which he commanded us, to continue until he comes again. And so, Father, we ask you to bless and sanctify with your Word and Holy Spirit, these gifts of bread and wine that we may partake of his most blessed body and blood. Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed once for all upon the cross. Therefore, together, let us keep the feast.

Hallelujah. On the night that he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, take eat this is my body which is given for you do this in remembrance of me thank you lord hallelujah glory to god the body of our lord jesus christ which is given for you preserve your body and soul to everlasting life this is the bread of heaven take and eat in remembrance that christ died for you. After supper, Jesus took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them

saying, drink this all of you, for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this in remembrance of me. Praise God. Bless his holy name. Hallelujah. The blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was shed for you, preserve your body and soul to everlasting life, drink the cup of salvation in remembrance that Christ's blood was shed for you and be thankful. Behold the Lamb of God. Behold Him who takes away the sins of the world. And blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the lamb. The sacrament is the gift of God for the people of God. Feed on him by faith with Thanksgiving that Christ died for you. Praise God. Hallelujah. By faith, we

received Jesus Christ. By faith, we partake of this holy meal. By faith, we rest in the promise that one day will be seated with him and share this meal with him. Praise God. What a promise, Rick. And that's what faith is. Faith is a promise, a promise believed. Yes. Yes. Doc, J.M. Ask, are you going to do a children's Bible class? Yes. Yes. By faith, yes. We're building an online Bible school for children. It's in motion. We made a major commitment yesterday. We made a major financial commitment yesterday. i just want to share how fast god's moving and let's just say the lord moved lightning fast on some things that we said this is what we should do and suddenly he did it right okay he's moving on it okay um the Lord we're going to build a a um I'm calling it a Bible college for

children I got to legally I can't say it as a college but um we're already developing material and realistically I think we'll be able to launch the first version of it spring spring of 26 that's my plan that's my hope okay uh doc rachel said i had a dream in the dream i saw you meaning me walking on the soil with holding with holding paper and pen you were writing about what god was asking you to write down you were writing while walking on the soil Doc was walking on the other side together with you. That's interesting. Yes.

I'll take that to heart today. I'll be praying about that. Okay, everyone. Thank you for being here. Pray for us on this trip. The government shut down, you know, the government canceled. Yesterday, thousands of flights.

We're assuming that our flight's going out tomorrow. We have to leave the Orlando airport, and then we have to stop at another airport to change planes. And so that's twice that we have to get through the loop twice, okay? At least the TSA side of things. Yes, okay.

So, and pray for our health. that I stay far away from germs and bacteria. Did you read the article? I sent you, Doc, about- Yes, I did. And I packed some on airplanes. I packed a small bottle of disinfectant in my- This article in the Wall Street Journal said that,

I don't know who did the medical investigation on air travel But they found that the airline trays where you put your food had more bacteria and germs than the airplane toilet seat. Yes. It'd be healthier to go into the laboratory. You lunch there. No, that's why yesterday evening I got home. I said, where is that bottle of disinfectant at? yeah i try my travel bottle so that's right when i get on the plane i'm going to start spraying

stuff down well i'm telling you folks this is a this is a um kingdom trip yes okay this is a god-ordained kingdom trip okay years of the making years in the making yes so amen hey uh one of the thing where did you yeah stephen where did you did i ever say that the ark bible school did i ever say that or did the holy spirit tell that to you because you just you just said the name did i ever say it that's the name the ark bible school uh people seem to think you have so okay maybe i did okay i have to be uh cautious because again you learn through they use discernment because there are a lot of people out there uh who will either try

to sabotage what you're doing or to copy it all right all right well a couple things before we leave today i want to remind you about rick's book megafire mega fire America's next fourth turning crisis if you insist on continuing to listen to all the talking heads on TV and getting scared to death then you probably need some guidance if you're already in the kingdom you just need a little bit of a handbook help get you by that's what this is all about this is if anything it's a projected roadmap for the next five or ten years about things that we would likely be seeing in the world around us Rick does a thorough investigation of various cycles, biblical cycles, economic cycles, geopolitical cycles,

resting upon decades of experience from those, from people who study this information and from gleaning the Word of God. And from this has written this book, Megafire, and talks about that next fourth turning crisis that we are really in the midst of right now. And so, but the culmination of it we're looking probably the next five or ten years you need a guidebook to help you along the way get you this copy of megafire at megafire dot world that's megafire all one word no spaces megafire dot world and get your copy you can also get a sign to copy today and jody asked me to remind you rick yes i'm signing some books together i got a sign before i leave i promised her i would do that so the consensus is doc yes i did

say Ark Bible School. Okay. Well, if you did, you said it by faith. Yes, I did. Okay. One other thing before we take off today, and of course be praying for us as we're traveling, you know, sometimes we have to make decisions in ministry that aren't absolutely unanimous and popularity and everything. And so, you know, I hope you're praying for us on a regular basis that we make the right decisions and the Holy Spirit and, you know, whether it comes to finances, or direction of ministry, everything like that. We really need the Holy Spirit's discernment in making the right decision. Sometimes we make decisions based on the Holy Spirit that not everybody agrees with.

And so I just ask you, you know, trust that the Holy Spirit's leading us in the right direction. If you don't think that's the case, pray for us even harder. Okay. But certainly don't be talking smack. and everything just you know just trust that god's doing a work okay and uh that uh we're only interested in the best entrance of everybody that uses the platform and uh you know wants to access this content if this is a blessing to you then continue to be blessed that's all i ask so any any words on that rick or thoughts on that no just uh thank you for the kind words i'm reading

here on chat thank you so much the book apparently is going over well yes that's encouraging we're going to have it on Amazon soon and eventually the e-book

is already it's done by just haven't posted it on Amazon yet I've not had time to work on the audio book right and the e-book on Amazon has its own hurdles that we have to deal with yeah so be praying about that too so doc one thing i would i notice i i have um in recent

months uh the lord has had me monitoring following some young ministers on youtube and i'm very encouraged very encouraged these are jemzes the jemzes and i'm encouraged it's giving me it's giving me it's giving me hope okay I'm seeing these young jenzy preachers and like the spirit of the Lord is on them

and I'm noticing Doc that some of them are saying they're receiving prophetic words or dreams about a war that's coming to America okay and so I

you know I'm just monitoring I'm just listening but that's telling me the Holy Spirit is speaking to people about what's in Megafar that fire is the war is what I'm talking about Megafar so the Spirit of the Lord

is preparing people for the message that's in this book the books printed it's officially released but the Holy Spirit has not released it yet right okay that day's coming

there's a timing the Holy Spirit is going to release it to the public when they're ready when they are ready to receive the message that's in the book so all right that's it we'll see you next week again they will be recorded messages we may pop in live at the beginning we'll just see how it's going each day

and then we'll be back the following week. God bless you. All right. Be praying for us, everybody. We love you very much. And be sure to tune in next week for our special teaching on the parable of the soar. God bless you. We love you.
