TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - Putin Warns West: Missile Strikes Means War with NATO

Episode Date: September 13, 2024

Nobody in their right mind would continue to taunt an angry and paranoid neighbor who fears a home invasion and is standing behind his front door holding a loaded shotgun. You would be insane to open the door to see if he is willing to back up his threats to shoot anybody who enters his house. Yet, that is precisely what American and European leaders are doing to Vladimir Putin. Their actions and policies are so bizarre, reckless, dangerous, and crazy that it is almost impossible to convince your own mind that they are doing it. Nevertheless, a meeting occurred today in the White House between President Biden and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss allowing Ukraine to use Britain’s Storm Shadow missiles to hit Russian military bases, armories, and power utility infrastructure deep inside the Russian Federation.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

American owned, American made, American Reserves. Nobody in their right mind would continue to taunt an angry and paranoid neighbor who fears a home invasion and is standing behind his front door holding a loaded shotgun. You would be insane to open the door to see if he's willing to back up his threats to shoot anybody who enters his house. Yet that is precisely what American and European leaders are doing to Vladimir Putin. Their actions and policies are so bizarre, reckless, dangerous and crazy that it's almost impossible to convince your own mind that they're doing it.

Nevertheless, a meeting occurred today in the White House between President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss allowing Ukraine to use Britain's storm shadow missiles to hit Russian military bases, armories, and power utility infrastructure deep inside the Russian Federation. I'm Rick Wiles. This is True News for Friday, September 13, 2024. Former U.S. Border Patrol Officer J.J. Carroll will be my guest later in the program. Let's begin our analysis and commentary of today's top headlines with this Associated Press headline. Biden and Starmer are set to meet as Ukraine pushes to ease weapons restrictions.

That article published this morning by AP, and I'm assuming that by now the two leaders have met. Yes, they have, or at least they've had the initial introductions and everything. It was public here just a few moments ago, but this is the big deal for today, everyone. The agreement between the U.S. and U.K. to virtually say, let's attack Russia. So, Doc, this is how I think it's going to go down. Privately, they're going to make the decision to do it, but they are not going to announce it today or in the coming days. Right.

I think what they're doing right now is absorbing what Putin said yesterday. But the decision's made. They're just not going to release it. We thought maybe a few days ago they might actually come out today and say the decision's made and Ukraine can

go ahead and start attacking. I don't think it's going to happen. I think Putin's warning has set them back and is causing them to debate not whether they should do it, but how they should respond to his threats. Right. When Russia does respond. And so let's take a look at this CNN article. Biden signals openness to using Western long range missiles inside Russia as he meets Britain's leader to discuss. By the way, Keir Starmer is an atheist. So one of the players in this meeting doesn't even believe in the existence of Almighty God.

So his mind is wide open for any suggestion from satan and the other one doesn't care this says cnn says president joe biden signaling new openness and allowing ukraine to farm missiles provided by the west on targets deep inside russia and plans to discuss the matter with his new british counterpart at the white house on friday Ahead of the meeting, U.S. officials said they did not expect Biden would immediately sign off on allowing U.S.-provided attackums to launch on targets inside Russia. But like the U.S., the United Kingdom has sent its own long-range storm shadow missiles in Kiev. Their use, along with the use of similar weapons from France, is currently limited to within Ukraine. And any change will require U.S. sign-off, a matter for discussions at Friday's talk.

So what we're hearing here is we're being told Joe Biden will not sign off on allowing U.S.-built attack on missiles to be used against Russia. But he's going to sign off on letting Great Britain use storm shadow missiles that they build. Yes. And France, likewise. So that's the decision that's being made today. He's sending Britain and France out as the gu guinea pig you go ahead and attack and let's see what happens to you we'll see if if the british isles is still standing go ahead and do it we're going to hold back we'll wait and so karen stormer apparently is going to go ahead with this

it says uh mr biden is quoted saying, we're working that out right now. Unbelievable. When asked this week whether he would permit Western provided long range missiles to target military sites like airfields, missile launchers, fuel tanks, ammo depots within Russia. And that was reported by The New York Times, citing European officials that Biden appears to be on the verge of clearing the way for Ukraine to use long range missiles as long as it doesn't use arms provided by the U.S. including Maryland Senator Ben Cardin and New Hampshire Senator Gene Shaheen have said the restrictions should be used in order to provide Ukraine a better chance of success. And they make the argument in light of Putin's increasingly horrific attacks on civilian targets, it's time to lift restrictions on the east of long range. U.S. provided weapons to allow Ukraine to reach high-value Russian military targets, Shaheen said. Well, Mr. Putin had something to say about this yesterday. Here's RT. Putin issues new warning to NATO long-range strikes against Russia would mean

direct involvement in the Ukrainian conflict. Doc, I'll let you go ahead with this one. Yes. The article says there that removing restrictions on Ukraine's use of Western weapons would directly involve the U.S. and its allies in the conflict with Russia. He said that Ukraine lacks the capability to use Western long-range systems, noting that targeting for such strikes requires intelligence from NATO satellites, while firing solutions can only be entered by NATO military personnel. So if a decision is made, it will mean nothing less than the direct involvement of NATO countries, the U.S. and European countries in the conflict with Ukraine. Their direct participation significantly changes the very essence, the very nature of the conflict. With that in mind, Putin added, Russia will make the appropriate decisions based on the threats facing us. So, Dr. Day, in the Kremlin, Mr. Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, he said, the statement made by President Putin yesterday is very important.

It is extremely clear, unambiguous, and does not allow for double readings. We have no doubt that this statement reached those who it was intended for. Of course, this substantially changes the very essence, the very nature of the conflict. If that is the case, we will take corresponding decisions based on the threats that will be created to us. And then as Vestia is reporting that the Russian permanent representative to the UN also made a statement today about the consequences of using long-range weapons against Russia. That's right, Rick.

NATO countries will start a direct war with Russia if they allow Kiev to use long-range weapons on its territory. That's coming from Russia and permanent representatives to the UN, Vasily Nabinzya, speaking September 13th. That's today. If the decision to lift restrictions has really been made or will be made, this will mean that from now on, NATO countries will begin a direct war with Russia. In this case, of course, we'll be forced to make appropriate decisions with all the ensuing consequences for Western

aggressors. Our Western colleagues will no longer be able to excuse themselves from responsibility and shift all the blame to Kiev, the diplomat said. All right, so, Doc, this next article is going to take craziness to a new level, beyond anything that we've talked about so far. This is from The Telegraph today. Putin will retaliate if storm shadows approved for use in Russia. Of course he's going to retaliate, but that's not what the crazy is in this article. The crazy is that British officials are talking about how they will counter-retaliate

if he retaliates. It is unthinkable that this discussion is going on. This is what the Telegraph reported today. Joe Biden must be ready to send... I'll try to read this. Joe Biden must be ready to send backup if he allows Ukraine to use storm shadow missiles inside Russia because Putin will retaliate.

America's first and only Ukrainian-American congresswoman has said the U.S. president is expected to allow Ukraine to use the missiles. Victoria Sparks, American congresswoman from Indiana, told the Telegraph that the move could provoke a response from Russia and that the U.S. should consider deploying backup. Yes, she said, I think Russia needs to understand that there could be serious consequences. If we continue, this war will escalate further and further, and they need to understand that it will be escalating in their territory. She added, they're going to come in to do a couple

of shots over there, and there's going to get all of them hyped up. And then no one is going to back up and it's going to get even worse. Any backup from the U.S. is likely to consist of further weapons, not troops. Well, that's her opinion there. So this Ukrainian-American congresswoman from Indiana is telling President Biden, not only do you have to give permission to use the weapons to attack Russia, but you've got to have plans to back up Ukraine when Putin retaliates. We've got to go in deeper, bigger weapons, more weapons.

Well, he's not going to retaliate just on Ukraine. He's going to retaliate on Great Britain and France. Look at this one, RT. NATO states could send troops to Ukraine. Now, this is a warning from Russian Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fulman. He said the U.S. and its allies are planning for further escalation by deploying troops to the country. Speaking in China at a forum in Beijing today, Fulman reiterated Moscow's position that the hostilities are a U.S.-initiated proxy war against Moscow.

Western nations insist that they are not parties. Anyhow, here's the quote. NATO nations are preparing plans to deploy their own troops to Ukraine, seeking to create conditions for forcing Russia into accepting Kiev's demands for negotiations. This is a dangerous game, which may result in a direct clash of nuclear nations. Kiev is receiving comprehensive military assistance. The Ukrainians are getting modern weapons and are being nudged into delivering strikes on Russian territory. Now, Mr. Fulman did not disclose how he knows that the West is planning to deploy troops to Ukraine.

That could be through Russian intelligence sources. We can't verify it. We're just telling you this is what he said today in Beijing. But it does follow the natural progression of things for sure. Well, that would be the backup, wouldn't it? Right. Suddenly, NATO troops go rushing into Ukraine. Now, the situation has been escalated.

I'm going to escalate this a little bit more, not on Ukraine, but in Israel. The Times of Israel reporting today, Israeli troops raided an Iranian weapons facility in Syria and took equipments and documents. What this article says is that Israeli commandos repelled down from helicopters inside Syria. Yes. And raided a military base. That's bold. That's brassy, Doc. Yes. And raided a military base. That's bold. That's brassy, Doc. Yes. But they pulled it off, according to this report.

It says Israeli special forces carried out a raid on an Iranian weapons facility in Syria earlier this week. A series of previously reported alleged Israeli strikes hit military sites in central Syria late Sunday, killing 14 people, wounding 43. Local Syrian media at the time said that the site was the manufacturer of weapons. It goes on, however, fresh reports were the first to claim that Israeli troops operated on the ground in Syria. Amazing. Amazing. I got one quickly. Watch this video. This happened.

A U.S. Army vehicle hit at a railway station in or at a railroad crossing in South Carolina. Watch this amazing video. That's Russia going through the west right there. There's a freight train coming, folks. I got to go. Hey, coming up, J.J. Carroll, he's going to tell you what he knows about what is going on at the U.S. border.

American made. American Reserves. American owned, American made, American reserves. I have hosted this news commentary program for 25 years. For a quarter of a century, illegal immigration into the USA has been a recurring topic on this program. Politicians, news media reporters, talk show hosts, and political activists often talk about the so-called border crisis. I concluded many years ago, there is no crisis. It is a planned policy, and both political parties are in on the scheme. The only person in Washington who truly attempted to undo the policy was Donald Trump, and we all see where that got him. He interfered in the grand plan to merge Canada, the USA, and Mexico into a borderless common market. My guest today was a U.S. Border Patrol agent for nearly as long as I've been a talk show host.

Mr. J.J. Carroll, recently retired after a 24-year career as a deputy patrol agent in charge. He served on the front lines of the immigration war and witnessed with his own eyes the true policies of the U.S. government. He wrote a book last year titled Invaded, the Intentional Destruction of the American Immigration System, and it is available on Amazon. J.J. Carroll, welcome to True News. Thank you very much for having me. And wow, if I just could not see you, I would think that I was listening to myself. You actually explained it perfectly. And I believe and witnessed in my career, writing the book in my career and now doing documentaries on it, that you are 100% correct

in your analysis of what has transpired in the last two, three, four, five decades. I'm glad to hear that because I'll just call you JJ. I stopped interviewing people on the border issue a long time ago because I got fed up with the same garbage. I get tired of hearing about the border crisis. The border, our immigration laws are broken. We need comprehensive immigration reform and blah, blah, blah, blah. I heard it over and over and over from people on all sides of the political spectrum. And I concluded a long time ago that there is no border crisis, that this is the policy.

And we'll get into that in a few minutes. But let's talk, first of all, about your experiences. So I started in 1999, so you must have started the Border Patrol somewhere around 2000? No, I started in 2020, excuse me, 1997. Oh, 97. Okay. Yeah. So I did. I've been retired for three years. My last year in the United States Border Patrol, I was a deputy patrol agent in charge, a senior leader in San Diego sector. And my last year was Joe Biden's first year in office. So I've seen everything that you want to talk about.

I've witnessed it firsthand as a journeyman agent, as a frontline supervisor and task force operator and a senior leader. So I have a very unique perspective on this. And everything that you just said is 100% factually true. This is a uniparty issue. This is not a crisis. This has been intentionally, strategically, and purposely created and effectively laid out. And they've done this ad nauseum since 1965, from the Immigration Act 1965. Everything accelerated under Obama. And now it is at epidemic level under Joe Biden.

They are going for the jugular now. This is the end. This is the end game right now. You got it. You got it. As I said, I gave up interviewing people. And quite frankly, if you would have started out telling me the same stuff I've heard from so many other people, I would just politely end this conversation because I don't have time for it. No, I don't either. You understand it. You get it. And I'm only going to talk to people who get it, who understand what's happening and what the end game is and how late we are into the game. You're precisely right there. We're at the end of this plan.

Yes. When you began as a Border Patrol agent, were you primarily in California, San Diego, or have you been different parts of the country? I have been all over San Diego, the entire state, up the coast to about San Francisco, all the way down from the western and eastern corridors of California. And I've worked the Arizona border as well. So I am very well versed on everything that's going on. I've never worked Texas border, but I've been there, obviously, but I've not worked it. Okay.

So in your early years, what were your first impressions and what did you think was happening and how did you think it would be solved? My first couple of years, you are so excited. I was 27 years old, started a new career. I was so excited. It was just running, tackling, fighting, getting in all physical every single day, riding ATV, being a part of a camaraderie of men and women that have the same idea and mission. It took me about three years for everything to dust to settle,

right? To then look around and go, wait a minute, these dots are not connecting. This is not lining up. And then it hit me and I wish I could have remained ignorant, but God didn't build me that way. I began to go, whoa, hold on a second. Why are we sitting on the border and the border is secure, like manageable, secure, but I go home and I've had thousands of illegal aliens in Southern California. I can't go to Home Depot. I can't go to Home Depot. I can't go to the grocery store. They're on the buses, the trains. What is going on?

Why are we not going and eradicating our society of this? Well, they never wanted us to. Democrats and Republicans never wanted to stop illegal immigration. Why? Because there's two parts to this. They want power in terms of votes, and they want wealth in terms of cheap labor. And that's what the Republicans and Democrats get from this. The loser, the only group of people that do not benefit are the American citizens. And this is done strategically.

Right now, just so your audience understands where I'm coming from, this is not even disputed, sir. There's not even an argument in Congress or media. There are 45 to 50 million illegal aliens inside the United States of America as we speak right now. And I can go through that data and explain within 60 seconds how it came with that number. It's not disputed. That means one in five, excuse me, one in six to one in seven residents in America is an illegal alien. Now, name me real quick. Name me any society or culture or nation in the history of civilization that has overcome this demographic upheaval. And the answer is none. None.

So why do you think America is greater than the Roman Empire. The Ottoman Empire. The news media and talking heads on media will say, you know, nobody really knows. It's maybe 12 to 20 million illegals. You're saying it's 50 to 60 million. Well, let me give you, let me just so your audience understands where I get this number, okay? Because I lived it. I did this for a living, and I'm not just the guy that showed up to work. I was a high producer, high performer.

I know policy and law inside and out, And I understand the data and how it's segmented. In 2019, Yale and MIT did a grand demographic study. Okay. And they jammed all this demographic information into an algorithm. They ran that algorithm 1 million times. And then outside of that, they came out with 29 million to 22 million, the average amount of illegal aliens in America. Everyone in academia and in law enforcement went, OK, it's 22 million. I remember going, OK, no, actually, it's closer to 30 million. But let's just go with what they said. So you have 22 million in 2019. Biden hasn't even come into office yet. Since Joe Biden has come into office, his agency, Department of Homeland Security and the Border Patrol to all my contacts throughout the border, north and, excuse me, north and south borders, 80% of the border is unmanned,

meaning not one Border Patrol agent works on the southern border. So we believe that the amount of getaways, people that cross the border undetected and absconded in four years is past 15 million. 15 million on top of it, the 12 to 14 million that he's arrested and released. There's your 50 million. And I am being grossly conservative. Let me just give you one more data point. Center for Immigration Studies, CIS.org, came out with a gigantic demographic white paper. They found 51.6 million people living inside the United States of America are foreign nationals. It's undeniable. You can't argue. Data is just data. You don't have to like my shirt, my background, the way I speak. You don't have to like any of that. But the facts

are the facts. They're just truth. You can try to manipulate them all you want, but this is the truth. America, you are more vulnerable today than you have ever been in the history of our republic, ever. And we are at the end game. the political debate was, what do we do with these people? Do we give them a pathway to citizenship, or do we send them back across the border, tell them to apply legally and come back into the country? That debate is over. Where we're at right now is the ruling class of America has simply declared them to be citizens.

Yes, they have. They're not going to have a naturalization process. They're not going to do it. They're just declaring them citizens with the right to vote. Every illegal alien that has come across the border since Joe Biden's taken office, which will eclipse 30 million by the end of his term, every one of them has been registered to vote by the NGOs under the blanket of God and religion. The religious NGOs are evil. They are, they have no belief in borders or American sovereignty. They are international organizations.

I'm Catholic. I'm disgusted by Catholic charities, but it goes to Lutheran Family Services, Jewish Family Services, on and on and on. And there's a Baptist group that's deeply involved in it also. But your audience, I want you to understand, why is religion involved in it? Well, because they are being paid billions, that's what they'd be, billions of dollars annually by our federal government to be the transportation hub of all these illegal aliens. In the name of God and religion, they are the gross sinners in our communities right now. And all religions, not just one. JJ, paint a picture for me. Actually, so you served under Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump, and then you ended your career with Joe Biden.

Correct. Just take the next five minutes, paint a picture of what it was like and how it changed under each president. Bill Clinton, he's just a grifter, right? But he came up with Operation Gatekeeper. He funded us. I was hired under him, but he had no desire to change anything. In fact, ironically, if you go back and you listen to his speeches and you listen to Chuck Schumer, Bill Clinton, excuse me, Joe Biden, you even listen to Nancy Pelosi, guess what they sound like? They sound like me and you. They're saying the exact same things that you and I said. They just knew they weren't going to carry it out.

George Bush, George Bush, he's George Bush, right? He can't bring two senses together to save his life. He's inferior intellectually. After 9-11, we all thought the whole thing was going to change. No. In fact, I want your audience to understand we did nothing different. He created a department called the Department of Homeland Security, and nothing changed. We did nothing to stop thousands, millions of illegal airings from pouring into our country. Well, things did change,

J.J. We Americans lost some of our rights. Oh, we lost all of it under the Patriot Act. You're absolutely correct. Absolutely correct. Took it all from us. Everything. And we didn't even fight it, did we, sir? And I will be very honest

with you. I was for it. I was angry, and I was for it it. And I was young and I was stupid. But as I became an older man and a more accomplished and studied person, I realized, dear God, what was I a part of? I just gave away my constitutional rights to a bunch of traitors that hate America. And I stand by that firmly. Now, you talk about the only president, the only president that did anything and not just did anything, but gave the most secure border in my career is President Trump. It wasn't his whole term. You have to understand the first two years of his term, he held the House and the Senate, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, and they sabotaged Donald Trump the whole time. And I am passionately, passionately angry at those two men.

Burning desire of hate, and I know it's a sin, but I want to punch both men in the face. Why? Because they would not fund a border wall. And I was down there as my friends got their heads caved in, had to get in a fight, medically retired, and had agents kill themselves, suicide, on the border because they were so distraught over many things. But one of them was the complete betrayal of their federal government. The only man that stopped it was Donald Trump. And let me give you just a data point so your audience understands. At the end of Donald Trump's term, he had the border almost effectively shut down.

We were arresting five to 600 people a day, a day. That's like a drip in your faucet. We were deporting everyone. People were being arrested in the interior and being deported. Day one of Joe Biden, day one, we jumped over 5,000 arrests a day and has not stopped. Went from 5,000 to 20,000 every single day since this man's taken office. And this is treason, absolute treason.

JJ, do you think Mr. Trump's border policy is the number one or in the top three reasons the establishment hates him so much and is determined to keep him out of the White House, even to the point of assassinating the man. I absolutely believe that. Why? Because when you look at what Joe Biden has done and you look at all his predecessors, what has been the number, the thread that we've been in and out is the destruction of America, bringing America down. It's a global reset. We're watching it happen all over Europe. What is more important? Sweden's about to fall. The Netherlands are going to fall. Their populations are tipping over. Does anybody care economically if Sweden falls? No. there's not even a ripple effect. How do you change the world's order and

structure is you have to bring down the big dog in the neighborhood. That's United States of America. And you have to bring her down. And I know it's very hard for your audience or any audience to hear this, that the federal government is run by traitors that hate America. Not my words, just listen to what they say. But I am in agreement with you, sir. They want they try to kill President Trump. They will try again. If you think that's the last time you're a fool, they're going to try to kill him again because he will not allow that new war, new world order to come into effect. JJ is not a hard sell for this audience. My audience knows it.

They've understood it for a long, long time. If you go back to the late 90s when I started, Vicente Fox was the president of Mexico, former Coca-Cola executive. The very first thing he started talking about was a North American union. He wanted to merge Canada, the United States, Mexico into one common market, remove the borders. Then they were proposing a common currency. Get rid of the dollar, get rid of the peso. A new currency called the Amero. I think, JJ, I think I was the very first talk show host to talk about the Amero and expose it. Then there was the Super NAFTA Highway.

And they were going to build this super highway from Canada down to Mexico, split America down the middle, and move trucks back and forth between three countries. We stopped that one also through public opposition. I think at some point, the globalists in our country realized they had to switch tactics, that the American people were not going to allow them to erase the borders openly and merge the countries and bring in a new currency. So what they did is that they just went ahead and eliminated the borders. And I keep telling people who talk about, well, we've got to secure the borders. We've got to close the border. I'm like, there's no border to close.

They eliminated the borders. We've got to close the border. I'm like, there's no border to close. They eliminated the borders years ago. You haven't had a border for decades. It's gone. And that is the official policy of the United States government. There are no borders because the ruling class of the United States wants America, Mexico, and Canada to be the next European Union, that we eliminate national boundaries and governments and we merge together. And if they could have their way, you know, the Catholic Church actually proposed merging all of the Americas, North and South America, put it all together into one country.

That's the grand plan. And so they have simply just said, forget the people. We don't care. We're going to eliminate the borders. We're going to move the people into their country and give us a couple of decades and there won't be an America left. And that's what they have done. And you've witnessed it. I want to ask you, well, I'll let you comment about that. What are your thoughts about that? That's the ruling class of America wants a borderless country.

That's absolutely the truth. I lived it. As you're going through the litany of Vicente Fox and all that, it's bringing me back to when I was on the border. I remember reading and listening to the radio between my arrest and going, oh my God, I can't believe this has actually happened. Does anybody else see what they're trying to do? But what they decided to do when President Trump was able to shut that border down, he was within six to nine months of his next term of completely shutting the border down. What was their response? We're stealing the election. He's out.

We're going to put a man in that has dementia. We're going to put his running mate at some DEI hire that is intellectually a midget. And then we're going to rule the world. And what they did was, you're right. They literally we're going to rule the world. And what they did was you're right. They literally took an eraser, erased the border. There's no border to jump. We're going to bring in 30 million people into America. And we are going to, and people need to understand this, this is the replacement theory. This is the idea. I'm changing the demographics, not race-based. I'm changing demographics from citizens to non-citizens. Who's going to fight the government? Men like me and you that can read and

write in English, that have understanding, critical thinking, understand what the Bill of Rights Constitution, what our God-given rights are. You take 50 million people in America that are illiterate in their own language, not English, in their own language, have no understanding of what a republic is, have no understanding of the founding now, and are 100% dependent on the federal government. Who is going to be able to be ruled? Us or them? Of course, they are. Look, I don't see any other way. I really don't. I don't want this to happen. I pray to God it doesn't happen. I do not see any way out of this except bloodshed and violence. I don't because the left and the anti-Americans have painted us into a corner and we have no repercussions. We have no recourse. There's no way to to redress our grievances. And when our founding fathers could not redress their grievances, what did they do? They went to war and they had nothing way less than us. And they went to war. What is going to be that pain threshold that Americans say?

I'm done. I'm taking my nation back, however that's going to be. If we continue on this path without interruption, my prediction is that within 10 years, maybe sooner, we will see the confiscation of real estate from American citizens and transferred to illegal immigrants. And they will talk because they've introduced the term equity, not equality, equity. Equity is different than equality. Yeah. Equity says I have an ownership stake. Equality says you and I are equal. But equity says I have an ownership stake. Equality says you and I are equal.

But equity says I have ownership. They've introduced this term equity. And I believe at some point they will begin confiscating property owned by American citizens and transferring it to illegals. And the American citizens will be outnumbered at some point. They'll simply be outnumbered. And they'll begin taking property from, I mean, obviously they'll always find the most outrageous examples to say,

well, they deserve to lose their property. But they'll set a precedent. They'll start taking land and houses and farms and giving it to invaders. And that's what I see coming. Well, you're absolutely right. And you have to look at this from this. Let's look at it from take all your emotion, take all your anger, your resentment, take it out, and let's just look at a math problem. Simple numbers.

50 million people in your country are illegal. American women do not even reproduce at the replacement level, meaning we're not replacing ourselves. The illegal aliens historically reproduce at a two to six times the rate of Native Americans. We're within a generation of being upside down in America. It's over. So when people say, well, what do we do? The only thing that you can do, you have two choices. you die this very rapid death that's coming upon america where you go and you engage in the most strong-armed deportation that you have ever seen in your life and it is going to be violent it's going to be bloody and it's going to be ugly but you either do violence bloodshed and ugliness or you die what's your you make that decision so when you say deportation

all right i you don't know this i just a month ago um i was a candidate for the united states congress got slaughtered i mean but i proposed what you just said i said we have to deport. There has to be a massive deportation. We have to go first. We go after, and I said the first two groups, the illegal Chinese men that are in the country, number two, the hardened criminals, they have to be rounded up immediately, as though this is a national security issue, this is an invasion, and you've got to go after them with the military uh jj people just are blasé there's i i had news media outlets that that

kind of mocked me well this this uh republican canada he believes believes America's been invaded. He says that there are Chinese people coming across the border. And it was all done in mocking manner, okay, to paint me as a crazy guy that says, hey, we've been invaded by the Chinese. I want to ask you about the Chinese. I mean, I'm hearing some frightening numbers, and I don't know how to validate them, of young military-age Chinese men coming across the border every month. What are you hearing? Okay. Let me validate everything you said, and it's frightening. Okay? And now remember, these numbers are DHS data, and this has no idea of all the millions that have crossed undetected, just what they arrested.

And it's shocking. By the end of Joe Biden's term, he anywhere from 50 to 120,000 PLA soldiers identified inside our walls. Okay. You have, we have a lot. This is staggering. This is, if Xi Jinping has moved, he's moved a standing army inside our country. Of course he has, sir. And when I see the videos my buddies send me, and they go, JJ, look at this, and I see men, military-age men, China, standing at parade rest. Who stands at parade rest? Only military guys. And we're finding the same ID, the same haircut, the same type of clothes, the same tattoos. What are those segments of American society that have that?

Those are called soldiers. So you have allowed hundreds of thousands of Chinese nationals. You don't leave China. It's not like America where I can just leave and go to Mexico or wherever I want. You have to ask permission to leave China. You just don't leave, walk out of it. Now, I want your audience to also understand how vulnerable we are. The United States American Border Patrol has arrested over 250,000 special interest aliens. Those are terrorists, and our government has released them into America.

That is a proven statistic, and that is what we know. All of my buddies say you can double, triple, or quadruple that number in the total amount of people that have crossed into America. I am telling you and your audience that you have probably over a million, a million terrorists from low level to the highest level. You have millions of gang members. Look what's happening across America, not in just Colorado and Chicago, across America, Venezuelan gangs are taking over complex, compartment complexes in neighborhoods across America. You have soldiers from the PLA, and then something you and I don't have the time for, because I know you're up against the clock. But we've also allowed in 500,000 unaccompanied

alien children from the ages of infancy to 17 years old and they have lost them all and they are either sex traffic or labor traffic or both inside of america i believe america is at a moral rock half a million sir that's not disputable that's what we again this is what we know about let me let me just give you an idea. In 2023, Health and Human Services Secretary Javier Pucera testified in front of Congress that he had lost 85,000 of those children. 85,000. We all knew that was a lie, but 85,000. Dear God, that's incredible. Inspector General of DHS came out last week and said, well, that number is actually not true.

The real number is over 320,000. Okay? and said, well, that number is actually not true. The real number is over 320,000. Okay. I'm telling you that we have already eclipsed 500,000 arrests and everyone that's in the know knows that they have lost basically all of them. Because I can go through and talk to you about what the welfare calls, the checks, they don't even exist. They're non-existent. And I know because I've done this, I have a documentary coming out on September 13th, all about the child sex trafficking. I am telling you that the United States of America government is the world's largest child sex trafficking organization in modern history. United States of America is the number one consumer of child pornography. United States of America is one of the top nations on planet Earth that actually

physically pays money for sex with children. Do connect the dots, America. We live in a moral rock. Our government is complicit in all of this, and we are going to have to take back our government, or your silence and your inactivity is going to be complicit in these crimes and these sins. J.J., I feel like I'm listening to a younger version of myself. This is what I've been saying for 25 years. The very things that you're saying. That our government has been taken over by Satanists.

They're wicked. They're evil. They're not just misguided. That's not corrupt. They're wicked. They're evil. This is not a Democrat-Republican issue. This is good versus evil. You have evil demons inside of our society in America

and our government. And you laugh and you go, oh, JJ, you're crazy. You're a religious zealot. Okay, hold on. Let's just look at just, can we just talk about what's happening in America today? And then you tell me if I'm off my rocker. Since Roe v. Wade, 60 million babies have been aborted, destroyed, mutilated inside and outside the womb and outside the vaginal canal. 60 million. LGBTQ flies their flag inside of our God's house of worship. You

have ripping genitals off, mutilating and ripping genitals off of our children and telling them that they are now a unicorn and they have destroyed a generation. They have told our children that they can be anything they want in the realm of disbelief, and there's 157 genders. We allow grown men with fake breasts, erect penises, to allow children to climb on their lap, read them stories in our libraries, in our schools, and go down Main Street Parade naked and dancing in front of our children. And it's normal. And we celebrate it. We celebrate it. And now we are in event. We have involved in child sex trafficking of unaccompanied alien children from foreign nations. We lose anywhere from 400 to 800,000 children a year in America, and we can't find them. They disappear. You're going to tell me that we don't

live in an evil time? We don't live in Sodom and Gomorrah in present day? Then you are a fool. How do you not see it? I think we have surpassed Sodom and Gomorrah. I think we surpassed them. I think we've gone beyond anything that they did. I think that's a great argument.

I have nothing to come back at you and say, no, sir, you're a little off. No, you say that out loud, and I go, yeah, yeah, well, of course I agree with that. But, you know, I've been to Jordan. I've been to the sites of Sodom and Gomorrah, and you know what's there? Charred rock. That's the only thing that's there. Just for miles you see rocks that are charred black on top. And you flip them over and they're brown or gray.

But on top they're black. It's like some massive fire came across that valley and burned a rock. That's what's there. It's still there today. And unfortunately, that's going to be our fate if the remaining decent people of this country don't pull it together and deal with the reality of what is happening and confront it. Because this is, as you said, this isn't a political issue. This is a spiritual battle. And the country has been conquered by enemies of the cross, enemies of the church. And we are in the fight for our lives.

And we can't continue this way or Almighty God will just bring it to a halt. That's my message. This is what I've been saying for 25 years. I never thought we'd reach this point that the things that you just described a few minutes ago would be normal society. I couldn't even imagine that 25 years ago when I started. I thought things were bad then. It's so far gone now that I can't even wrap my mind around the depravity of our society. The book is Invaded. It's at Amazon. And I have enjoyed talking to you.

We have come, Father, to be fed, and we humbly request that the Holy Spirit would lead this morning manna Bible study and feed us manna from heaven strengthen us father for the days ahead in Jesus name Amen amen we continue our journey through the Gospel of Matthew or in Matthew chapter 22 picking back up on verse 34 today and so what Jesus is addressing the Pharisees here in this particular passage. Read along with me, if you will.

I'm reading from the King James. But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it.

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Did you want me to go further than that or just verse 40? Let me see. It's the end of that segment. Yeah, so right there, 40. That's it. I don't think I can get any further today.

So let's begin our lesson by highlighting again that Jesus was continuously confronted by three main groups of adversaries. The Pharisees were hypocritical religious rulers, actors. The Sadducees were religious skeptics, almost agnostic. And the Herodians were politicians and palace courtiers aligned with Herod and Rome. In the preceding verses that we studied this week, Jesus was confronted by a delegation of Sadducees. And upon hearing that Jesus had effectively silenced the Sadducees with his response, the Pharisees, who were also opposed to Jesus, took notice. Now, it's unclear whether the Pharisees personally heard Jesus' conversation

while present among the multitude, or whether they heard through reports from their spies. They also may have heard members of the public excitedly talking in the marketplace about the way Jesus handled the Sadducees. For whatever method, the Pharisees said together with a unified purpose to try, to tempt, to trap Jesus and his words. They thought they could do it better

than the Sadducees. The verse says they were gathered together. The phrase in Greek denotes coming together with one accord for the same purpose. This unity of purpose was a concerted effort to challenge Jesus collectively, to publicly stump him, embarrass him. So, you know, the gathering could be interpreted in two ways. I'm talking about the motivation to have this latest confrontation with Jesus.

Firstly, number one, they may have been pleased that the Sadducees were silenced. Yes, because they definitely weren't friendly with each other. They were always at odds. The Scripture says, but when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence. The Greek word used here for silence carries a sense of forcibly silencing, muzzling somebody.

Right. Like putting your hand over somebody's mouth. They're unable to speak. It was that strong of an action. And it also carries a sense of finality that he effectively silenced the Sadducees, that they had no further response. You know, we would say today, he shut their mouths. And, Doc, the same word, the same Greek word is used in verse 12 of Matthew 22. Yes.

In the binding and the silencing of the guest at the wedding feast who was dressed improperly. Yes. I think that's no coincidence, is it? And the word was used to denote the king's authority and the finality of his decision. He was muzzled. So the same thing happened to the Sadducees. They were muzzled.

That word also appears one time in Luke chapter 4 when he's casting out demons and the demon was speaking. He muzzled the demon. Yes. The same word. Very same word.

Yeah, it's a very strong word. Now, the Pharisees may have been amused that Jesus muzzled their archenemies. Why? Because Jesus brilliantly upheld the doctrine of the resurrection, a view supported by the Pharisees, but vehemently opposed by the Sadducees. If Jesus had failed in his response about the resurrection, the anti-resurrection Sadducees would have won a major victory over both Jesus and the Pharisees. Right. Now, secondly, the other option is that the Pharisees may have responded with shock and dismay that this Galilean peasant carpenter's son masterfully defeated the high and mighty Sadducees

with a teaching about the resurrection and afterlife that even the Pharisees had never considered. Personally, the second reaction is what I think most likely happened. I think it's unlikely that the Pharisees rejoiced in Jesus' triumph over the Sadducees. I mean, they should have been pleased to see their opponents intellectually defeated in public. But their hatred for Jesus overshadowed any temporary joy they may have felt at seeing their enemies defeated. Yeah, and I think the clue is in verse 35. It says that they sought to tempt him.

And so the defeat of the Sadducees just caused them to double down to come up with a plan to take Jesus out. It was their animosity towards Jesus that drove them to redouble their efforts to challenge him. They've been defeated numerous times. This isn't the first attempt. But they keep coming

back for more. Despite whatever momentary happiness they privately enjoyed knowing that the Sadducees were put in their place by Jesus the Pharisees were troubled by the idea of Jesus

gaining more influence and popularity among the people yes so in response to the to Jesus' success among the people. Yes. So in response to Jesus' success in silencing, muzzling the Sadducees, the Pharisees hastily gathered together in one accord to strategize their next move against Jesus.

For what purpose? To discredit him and to undermine his authority and respect among the people. I suspect that the questioning of Jesus was likely planned and orchestrated by a group of pharisees including lawyers and scribes rather than being the action of of one or just a handful of people i believe they had a you know a fairly large meeting doing their opposite doing their opposition research yes and they all shared ideas on how they would stump Jesus

but they brought their best lawyers in they brought the best scribes to the meeting they got expert advice and after they agreed upon the strategy they went to the next step. And that's verse 35. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him and saying,

what was the next step? They brought in a lawyer. Nothing in life changes. isn't that the truth the more things change the more things remain the same they needed a legal gunslinger who could shoot faster and more accurately than any other person on the street. So the Pharisees fetched a lawyer. And he wasn't an average lawyer. He was their best. He had a track record of no defeats in the courtroom.

And they were sure. There was no way Jesus could defeat their man. By lawyer, it has meant a professional focused on the law of Moses. Scribes were in a different class of professionals. Yes. They both were focused on the law, but the lawyers were the ones who argued the law in court. The scribes were more like court assistants. Yes, clerks. Clerks, yes.

They were the clerks. So, the lawyer was summoned by the Pharisees to examine Jesus. Just as lawyers today examine and cross-examine witnesses in court trials. The legal examination was not meant to discern Jesus' divine status. It was intended to test his understanding of the law. How could he be the Messiah if he doesn't know the law as well as Jerusalem's best lawyers correct in fact I think that they wish that they could

defeat the Messiah with their knowledge of the law hey look we know the law more than the Messiah I think that's how proud they were. They wanted the inheritance. They wanted the inheritance. So whatever question posed by the lawyer was aimed at testing Jesus' knowledge and understanding of the law.

That's the conclusion they came to at the meeting. We've got to prove he doesn't know the law. So they had this meeting, Rick. I can just imagine this whole scenario here. They had this meeting and said, we've got to come up with a question that that will skewer this this teacher out of galilee what question could we ask him that would trap him that would uh cause him to lose face and the sight of the people that we can just literally just knock this guy out what is that one question and the question they came up with was this one in verse 36. Which is the great commandment in the law?

And it seems like a very innocuous question there, doesn't it? Very innocent question. But there's a knife in it, isn't there? Of course. They reasoned this out in their meeting.

That's why they chose that question. They concluded this is the question. So the question, whatever question it was going to be, it would be akin to a lawyer asking somebody on the street a question that is on the bar exam for lawyers to be licensed in the state to practice law. The average person on the street wouldn't know it. You know, Travis on our staff is licensed in a number of states to practice law.

I watched him for months study for the florida bar exam but he told me how difficult it was the the intricate questions that would be asked and you had to know the the minute meanings of every law in the state i realized hey the average person would have no no chance whatsoever to pass the law exam right and this so this is what they were thinking we have our best lawyer he passed the Jerusalem bar exam he's at the top of the class this guy out here Jesus he's never gone to school this is a layman this is a this is a peasant carpenter's son he has no training will trip him up we'll ask him a question that's on the bar exam. And then we'll prove to everybody he doesn't know what he's talking about. So the question was posed in a manner that on the surface seemed innocent.

But as Doc said, the intent was to entrap Jesus. They wanted Jesus to say something that would allow the Pharisees to label Jesus an apostate, a rebel against the law, or ignorant, doesn't know the law. And notice the line, ask him a question tempting him. Okay, it's one thing to ask a question, but when you're asking a question for the purpose of tempting somebody, you have a devious motive in your mind. If I ask Doc a question, okay, so he gives me an answer. But if I carefully doc a question okay so he gives me an answer but if I carefully crafted the question so I could say aha doc I gotcha now they're going to be consequences that's what they did right he was cold and calculated so this

educated lawyer with the help of other lawyers and scribes, I think there were many lawyers and scribes in that meeting, and they chose one to be the representative. The educated lawyer thoughtfully crafted a question that would tempt Jesus to make a mistake in his response. Again, it's similar to lawyers today carefully asking witnesses on the witness stand questions to trip them up in their answers. If you've never been on a witness stand stand you have no idea what it's like those uh opposing attorneys are are wolves yes and they have spent

weeks and months thinking of the questions they're going to ask you and there's an old rule i guess among lawyers lawyers never ask a question they don't already know the answer to that's right and they're they're steering you towards an answer they want you to say something that they want said so by posing this difficult and complex question the lawyer sought to entrap Jesus and to expose what they thought would be ignorance and error in his knowledge of the law. And it was delivered with the purpose of putting Jesus in a corner, forcing him to take a controversial position or revealing his lack of expertise in the law.

Interestingly, this is in one of the other accounts of this episode. Jesus commended the lawyer's honesty in his inquiry and said that the man was not far from the kingdom of God. It's not here in matthew in other words it's like jesus said that was that's an excellent question i'm impressed i'll answer it for you and by the way you're not too far away from entering the kingdom of god there's hope for you next question it would be like punching superman in the face and he doesn't move but smiles and says that was a great punch i'm impressed want to try again

because that's what it's like to question jesus with a a motive to entrap him it's like to question Jesus with a motive to entrap him. It's like hitting Superman in the face. But he's polite and says, I'm impressed. That was a good one. Got another one? Verse 36. Master, here's the question. Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Of all the questions the lawyer could have asked, what on earth prompted him to ask Jesus to identify the greatest commandment in the law refers to the body of legislation given to Moses recorded in the first five books of the Bible known as the Torah. And the scribes had counted 613 commandments. So what they're saying here is, Jesus, we we know we all know there are 613 commandments in the torah which one's the greatest aha we're going to get you why because like most things in life

the jews argued every day with each other about which commandment in the law was the greatest. They were always arguing, always debating. They argue religion more than we argue politics. Americans argue politics, but thes at that time argued religion and different scholars held differing differing views on which commandment was the greatest of the 613 right so there was great theological debates within the Jewish population and some of the Jews the Jewish scholars categorized the law into greater and smaller or light and weighty. Yes. Saying that some commandments were more important than others.

But they all had, all the scholars, all the groups, all the sects within the Jewish population had different opinions on which commandment was the greatest. If you wanted to get an argument going at dinner, different opinions on which commandment was the greatest. If you wanted to get an argument going at dinner, just bring that subject up. Hey, you know, I was thinking today about which commandment is the greatest. And you're off to the races, and there's going to be an argument. For example, some esteem the Sabbath as being the greatest others said circumcision others said the observance

of rituals such as washings and like so many other topics the Jews were divided into competing camps about this question of which commandment is the greatest so they the pharisees came together and said this is the question this is the question that will entrap jesus he's got to choose one of the 613. So they said, this is the way we're going to pin him down. We're going to make him choose sides. Because

the Jewish population is divided. Whichever one he goes with, everybody else is going to be against him. It's kind of like the issue about taxation. They were trying to make him choose between paying the tax and rebelling. Because whichever one he went with, he was going to make the other side angry. So verses 37 through 40. Jesus said unto him, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, with all thy mind.

This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets right now out of the 613 commandments that Jesus could have chosen I guarantee you

there was nobody in the Pharisee camp or the scribe camp or anything that chose love as the most important commandment would you agree with that no that was a foreign topic yes love that was not something they wanted to talk about. So Jesus responded to the question by quoting scripture. Yes. Deuteronomy 6.5 and Leviticus 19.18. So he, these scriptures summarize the essence of the Jewish law into these two commandments. Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind and love your neighbor as yourself.

And Jesus said, all the law and all the prophets are hanging on these two commandments. That's a powerful statement. All the law and all the prophets see that the lawyers were experts on the law the scribes were more experts on the prophets right yeah there's that and so he just hit both of them and said all the law and all the prophets hang on these two commandments love God with all your heart mind and soul and love your neighbor as yourself he's saying this is the central theme of the law just take the Ten Commandments the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments are divided into two categories.

The first five deal with man's relationship to God. The second five deal with man's relationship with other men and women. And so God in the Ten Commandments put this principle for us to see. Jesus is teaching us that man's

duties towards God are of primary importance, supreme importance. Yes. Higher than any other obligation. The commandment to love God precedes and supersedes every other commandment. And it supersedes the commandment to love your neighbor. Yet Jesus ties them together.

He emphasizes the interconnectedness of the two commandments saying that fulfilling one naturally leads to fulfilling the other right if you love god with all your heart mind and soul you will love your neighbor yes and you can't love your neighbor without loving god yes with all your heart mind and soul it's as simple as that if you do those two things, you've got it down.

That's it right there. Love God with all your heart, mind, and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself. So, Rick, would you say that love itself was the fulfillment of the law? Yes. And Paul reiterates that, too, in 1 Corinthians 13. You know, it talks about faith and hope and love and everything but the greatest of these is love so the commandment of love has not changed

from the Old Testament to the New Testament and normally when people are and I really am trying, working very hard and I try not to be so critical of folks but when people emphasize And I really am trying, working very hard, and I try not to be so critical, folks, right? But when people emphasize following,

let's say, the minor aspects of the Jewish law, whether it's bacon or the Sabbath or whatever it is, where is the love in that? Is love hidden in there somewhere that somehow i'm missing or do they put the uh obedience of the law above the love of the law because when i read the assessment rick you Rick, it seems like some people just constantly see a God of judgment. I'm just the opposite. I agree. I see a God of grace.

I do too. Tremendous grace. Tremendous mercy. Love. I see a God of love. It's not falling to the Marcion error that there was a God of the Old Testament, now there's a God of the New Testament. It's the same God.

Yes. Same character, same love. I see the Father in the Old Testament so often. He's a jilted lover. Yes. It's like, what did I do to you? Where did I go wrong? I did everything I could do for you.

What wrong did I do to you? Why did you desert me? Why have you betrayed me? Why have you gone off with these idols? He's hurt what I see so much in the Old Testament is God's pain and the behavior of the love that he has shown them. Yes. And the judgment he brings on them is not something he wants to do, but it's like, you don't leave me any other choice.

And so that's, the love of God is throughout the Old Testament. So true obedience to God's commandments comes from a correct understanding of his nature, his attributes, and his rightful authority over mankind. And so loving God with all of your heart, mind, and soul encompasses complete devotion and dedication to God. And it acknowledges his sovereignty and his authority over all aspects of your life. What is the heart? It's the seat of emotions, your will, your purpose. So love for God has got to be heartfelt. There's got to be emotion for the love of God. You have to feel it.

You know when you're in love. And you have to have that feeling about your Heavenly Father are you in love with him do you think about him day and night do you miss him do you think about when you're going to finally be with him right do you talk to him yes you know jesus implies here that there is a an intimate relationship to be found with the lord an intimate one uh a closeness uh you can't love somebody without being close to them you can't love somebody without understanding them and listening to them and up to this point in time really really has Judaism offered any of that it has Judaism offered up to this point in time prior to Jesus did Judaism offer the

opportunity for you to have a close intimate relationship with your Heavenly Father? No. For them, it was a matter of, these are the rules, follow them. Not a matter of, this is God, He

loves you, and He wants you to love Him back. Love? What are you talking about love there's the law no there's love love trumps the law doc i was thinking about um i was thinking about one of our former employees and uh you know so many of our employees have moved from other states to come to Vero Beach to work for us. We have very few people on our staff who are from Vero Beach. And I'm thinking about one young man that worked for us. And I was talking to him one day about, you know, how are you adjusting?

You know, you're a thousand miles away from home, from your family, you know. I'm talking about his wife, I mean, we came with him, of course. And he said to me, oh, Rick, I call my mother every day. I call mom every day and tell her I love her and that I miss her and let her know that I'm thinking about her. And I said, that is wonderful. That's awesome. I'm glad to hear that. That's a good thing.

And so there are people with us today in this class. And you call your mom and your dad every day or a number of times each week to tell your mom and dad how much you love them. How much they mean to you. How much you miss them. And that's a good thing. But do you call your heavenly father and tell him every day how much you love him yes do you tell him how much he means to you how much you appreciate his kindness his love his generosity he's your father he's got emotions too. And he desires, he yearns for his children to call him and say, Father,

I miss you. I love you. I'm thinking about you right now. I mean, physically, we're so far away from each other. Earth to heaven. He sent his spirit to be with us, in us. But our father himself is so far away. Do you call him and say, I'm thinking about you. I'm going to be with you someday. I'm really looking forward, father. It's on my mind all the time. Always thinking about going home with you.

See, he desires to hear that. That means you love him with all your heart, mind, and soul. So the heart is the seat of emotions. And if you don't have emotions about God, then you don't love him with your heart. There are people that love him with their mind, but not their heart. The soul encompasses our being. It's the core of our being. Our mind refers to our intellect, our thinking faculty. And so that means that love for God should engage our intellectual understanding and reasoning and thinking throughout the day yes so loving your neighbor means compassion empathy kindness towards others treating them

with the same care and respect that you would desire for yourself. Loving God with all your heart means prioritizing Him, cherishing Him above all else with utmost fervor and intensity, surpassing any other affection or attachment for anybody or anything, allowing nobody, no thing, to compete with your affections and desires for him. Correct. Yes. Some of you are madly in love with somebody. Madly. Intensely in love. Your love for God's got to be greater than your love for that other person.

You have to love God more than you love that person in your life. That person that you say, I can't live without you less more if you're writing love notes to somebody but you don't express that kind of feeling to your father then you don't have that passion for him. Right. He doesn't allow any competition. He is a jealous God. Well, sure. He wants you to love people intensely, deeply love people, of course. But he wants you to love him more than you love everybody else.

Right. But he wants you to love him more than you love everybody else. He doesn't want to be on an equal level with your wife, your husband, your son, your daughter, your friend. He doesn't want to be on an equal level. He wants to be on a supreme level. Right. And he puts you in third place. Yes. Love your neighbor as yourself. You're in the third position. Love him first, love your neighbor, then you're in the third position love him first love your neighbor then love yourself right loving god with all your soul means a readiness to surrender your

entire life to him dedicating every moment and aspect to his service and will, willing to sacrifice your life. There's one thing to surrender your life. You have to go beyond it and be willing to sacrifice your life for God. Be willing to endure hardships and persecutions for his glory if it's his will. Sometimes it pleases God to see his servants suffer for his name. Right. How can that be?

What pleases him is the love that we have for him. The love and devotion that we're willing to suffer for him. Somebody who's willing to suffer for you loves you. You know, we often hear about family members or friends giving one of their kidneys for somebody else. That's love. When you tell a doctor, hey, open me up and take one of my organs out of me and give it to that person you love that person right but jesus is really establishing the the baseline here for all disciples

when the earmarks of a disciple's life should be love yes i mean it should be you know characteristically flows out of them you know yeah you and I have traveled lots of different places around the world I of course when we went to Jordan I'd never been to Jordan before I went with you and had never had really a Middle east experience prior to that but i was so i was genuinely surprised at the hospitality that aren't they wonderful that the jordanians expressed i mean just extreme hospitality as if they'd known you all your life and would invite you into their table and to their lives. And we were just so proud to show you, this is my store, or this is my home, or these are my children. I want to show them to you.

They showed, at times, Rick, they showed more love in the hospitality than a lot of people show in an expressed love that they say. Yes. And so, but the characteristic for us as disciples, when people look at us, they should recognize, in fact, John in his letters says this as much, that the characteristic of a believer's life should be love. How would the world know that we're his disciples? Not by the works that we did, not by anything that we've done in the flesh, not even our love

of God. In 1 John it says this is how the world would know that we are his disciples if we have love one for another. You know, Doc, in the beginning of the war in Gaza last fall, I remember reading a post on Twitter on X. And, you know, I assume it was accurate. A little girl, I'm going to say maybe eight, nine, maybe 10 years old,

was outside in the playground playing. And an Israeli drone came and bombed the playground. She survived. She was injured, but not critically. She survived. And according to the people there, her response to one of the adults who came to rescue her was, and the Jews don't have good manners. Think about that, Doc. Somebody just tried to kill you. And your response is, they don't have good manners.

See, that tells me that little girl had been raised in a home that taught love and respect even for your enemies even for your enemies so she couldn't understand why would those people on the other side of the wall why would they try to kill me when i'm on the playground playing i've often wondered is she still alive? Did she survive until today? We don't know. But there was the innocence in that response. She had no anger, no bitterness.

She just was confused. Well, didn't the person who owns that drone, didn't their mother and father teach them good manners? You shouldn't try to kill people on the playground. Such innocence. Loving God with all your mind means submitting your intellect to his will. Making his commandments and his teachings above anything you believe. I'm going to tell you, I deal with this all the time, Doc.

I'm always saying, Lord, my thoughts about this don't line up with your word. I got to go with your word. And I tell the Father, this is what I think about it this is what I'd like to do but it doesn't line up with your word so forget that I'm gonna go with your word I have to deal with it all the time I gotta make my mind obey the word submit to the word and when jesus expressed this about loving god and loving your neighbor he said thou shalt love as if it's not our natural capacity to love right it's a commandment right it's an order do it it's an order you shall love you cannot disobey me you shall and that's how i have to deal with it okay what i really want to do is go over

there and punch that guy right in the mouth but that doesn't line up with the word of God. So I got to go with the word. There are people who still have a full set of teeth because I've submitted to the word. There's a sound bite for you. I'm just being me, okay? I deal with it all the time. I deal with it all the time. Loving God with all your strength means utilizing all of the faculties of your body and soul and mind for his honor and glory.

It means exerting maximum effort and energy in working for his kingdom and his righteousness. It means employing every physical and mental capability you possess in service to God, sparing no effort. Or resource for his honor and glory. That's what it means to work. Love God with all your strength. With all your heart, mind and soul. It means.

Put it all. Everything you are. Put it in. To loving God. Amen. So. These dimensions of love heart soul mind and strength they encompass the entirety of human existence and our faculties that God has given us and it's a holistic all-encompassing devotion to God. It elevates the concept of love to the paramount commandment above all others. The love commanded here is not merely emotional,

but it's a deep abiding love that saturates your entire being now Jesus knew that the Pharisees intellectually understood the law but they failed to live it and that's what made them hypocrites actors they were acting the role of living the law but they really didn't and he confronts them about the heart of the law too and that it's one thing to say i have kept the sabbath i did not work on the sabbath this is something i did but to say, I loved today. That's kind of a harder definition to make, isn't it? It is.

So, he said, on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Two commandments encapsulate the entirety of our religious duty. They are the core principles upon which all other teachings of the law and the prophets hinge. And the ultimate goal of this commandment is to inspire people to love God wholeheartedly and to love others genuinely.

I've told God and to love others genuinely. Yes. I've told God, Father, I love that person, but I don't like them. Folks, I'm so honest with my father. He's my father. I can talk to him. And I want you to be that way. Be yourself. Talk to him. He already knows who yourself is. Yes.

You're not hiding yourself from him. He knows all of your thoughts, your motivations, your intentions. He knows it all. Just go ahead and express it. Right. just go ahead and express it right and then he'll talk to you but I do I there people I've just said I love him but I don't like him I'll just be honest with you I don't like the guy I love him you didn't say I had to like him you said I had to love him didn't say I had to hang around with them. You know, there's some people that are just irritating. But you still have to love them. You have to love them.

But if they irritate you all the time, you don't have to spend all your time with them. You can put some distance between yourself and that person you you can love them from a distance love them from a distance um before we go to communion you know i just want to say that the centrality of love is god's plan for salvation. Amen. And we must consider humanity's fallen state and our inability to love God as commanded without the grace of God. True love for God only arises through the work of the Spirit

in the believer's heart. And that true love for God is characterized by an affectionate response to His nature, His works, His blessings, through the revelation of His love in Jesus Christ. And when you have wholehearted love for God and your fellow human beings, it will transform you to be crucified to this world and live a life constantly focused on God's glory. Praise God. And that love will bring about

a continuous transformation, empowerment, and a deep communion through this powerful, profound connection with God. And that's leading us into the Lord's Supper, Holy Communion. You know, there's one more thing I want to say years ago I was dealing with a really a really nasty person who professed to be a Christian I mean downright ugly and yet was well known in many churches and TV ministries. He wasn't a preacher, but he was well known. He was well connected.

And if he would have said something to people who knew him, they would say, oh, he's a wonderful brother in the Lord. I knew him a different way. And he wasn't wonderful he was ugly and mean and greedy and full of covetousness and I was in prayer one day about him because I was really wrestling with he was he was really causing us a lot of trouble and I and I told the Lord is that what I can't love the man I just can't love that man I don't know what to say to you and the Lord said Rick if you don't learn to love the way I love you can't live with me Wow oh man doc said I did it oh no ho oh yeah I have to live with your father I have to live with you if that's what I have to do if I have to love that man off that's what I'll do see that put it in perspective

yes it's not loving that man was would someday prevent me from living for eternity with my father that hey I gotta love this guy I don't care how he acts put it in perspective so you may have people today in your life who are really ugly and nasty and mean, doing all kinds of things to you. You just love them. And the Holy Spirit is in you. You can't love them without the grace of God. He will give you grace to love those unlovable people. And you just ask him, I need grace. I personally, Lord, I can't do it. I can't love that person. to love those unlovable people.

And you just ask Him, I need grace. I personally, Lord, I can't do it. I can't love that person. I need grace from heaven. All right, hey, let's go to the Lord's Supper.

I've got a full program today on true news, and we need to finish our Bible lesson for today. All all right so if you've got the elements of communion we're going to pray over those here in just a moment but before we do that we're going to ask the Lord to search our hearts to make sure there's nothing that stands between us and him it's appropriate that we're talking about love today because you know it's the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost we have nothing of our own it's

there's nothing in us that propels love nothing the only love that we have that we can share give back to God and to love neighbors comes from God Himself the spirit fruit of the Spirit is love joy peace long trip love is listed first and so it's it's a gift it's fruit it's a lifestyle and so allow the Lord today and over the weekend here to just search your hearts about this topic of love. How much do you love him? And how much do you love your neighbor? Rick, would you pray for us real quick before we enter communion?

I will. Dear gracious Father, we come to you in the name of Jesus, our Savior. Father, there is no greater love than your love for us that you gave your only begotten Son for us that he gave up his life on the cross for us you demonstrated your love for mankind by sacrificing your son on the cross so father we owe you we owe you our supreme love for what you have done for us our sins are forgiven our names are in the book of life the Holy Spirit seals our salvation and father we praise you father we ask that the Holy Spirit

search our hearts right now, examine us, and bring to light in our hearts and minds things that need repentance and forgiveness. We desire to come to you, Father, to this table with clean hands and clean lips, clean eyes, clean mouths, clean lips, clean eyes, clean mouths, clean tongues, clean feet.

So Father, forgive us and prepare us for this meal in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Praise God. If this is your first time joining us for communion, we welcome you and we hope that you take this with all seriousness and with the holiness and righteousness that is invoked by the Lord's commandment to continue in this holy sacrament. What we normally do

if this is your first time is we take the elements of communion, bread and either grape juice or red wine and we ask the Lord's blessing over it and you administer the elements of communion, bread and either grape juice or red wine. We ask the Lord's blessing over it. And you administer the elements of communion yourself in your own home or wherever you're at right now. If you're pulled over on the side of the road and you're an 18-wheeler, which we've had people doing and taking communion, wherever you are right now, we just encourage you. and taking communion wherever you are right now.

We just encourage you. Just because you're not in a larger body doesn't mean that you can't participate. So we welcome you today. So let's pray over these elements of the Lord's Supper, and let's enter into those most holy of sacraments. Almighty God, in your tender mercy, you gave your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to suffer 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.

And 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 with your 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 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. The body of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was 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, 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. The blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was shed for you, preserved your body and soul to everlasting life. Drink the cup of salvation in remembrance that Christ's blood was shed for you. 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. This 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. And we appreciate you participating in this. 300 people plus
