George was a boxing legend, a pastor, a businessman, a rancher, many things. Most of all, he was a devoted family man. I had the honor of interviewing George Foreman on June 11, I think it was June 11, 2008. Hard to believe it's been that long. It seems like just yesterday I talked to him. A delightful man.

And I thought it would be good if I would replay that interview. It's only about 15 minutes long. If I recall, he spent most of that interview talking about his family, because that's who he loved the most. So I'll replay it today. At the end of today's true news, this is Monday, March 24, 2025. Doc Burkhart is home recuperating from what I'm told is walking pneumonia. So please pray for Doc to have a speedy recovery. My wife Susan is also home.

I don't know if she has walking pneumonia. She has what I had last week. As I guess I spread it around, I did my best to stay away from everybody. Let's start our commentary of today's news and headlines with this article published by Newsweek. Donald Trump suffers MAGA backlash over Commonwealth proposal. I brought this out last week and I posted it on X and I got a backlash on X from MAGA supporters of Mr. Trump who told me that I was making it up.

Some of them were pretty rude and nasty to me and told me to go away and stop trolling Mr. Trump. So I didn't respond to them. I was like, there it is. It's right there in front of you. They didn't bother to read the article and they didn't bother to read President Trump's truth social quote,

what he posted on his own account. But the story continues and as you see from Newsweek, his supporters on Truth Social did not like it at all. It was very interesting. The response to Mr. Trump on Truth Social was different than the response that I got on X. Mr. Trump supporters on X refused to believe it. But the people on Truth Social who were following Mr. Trump's account realized that's the president's statement. He likes this idea of the USA joining the British Commonwealth.

And so the response from his supporters on Truth Social was pretty brutal. They just said, no, no, no, as in no. Now here's a telegraph in London And they published this over the weekend Trump open to us becoming Commonwealth Associate member. Well, first of all, there's no such thing as an associate member. So that that's different But there's a couple paragraphs in here that I want you to hear because Once you hear this you'll understand why this is so stunning that Mr. Trump would even entertain this idea.

Where in your brain did this come from? This is what the Telegraph said. The Commonwealth currently has 56 member countries with the King That guy right there as its head Most are members of the former British Empire Although the last four countries to join have no historic ties The US offer is being discussed at the highest levels of offer is being discussed at the highest levels," a source said.

It is not known whether the palace or the government have been involved in any such discussions with plans for Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump's visit to the UK still being finalized. There is no precedent for associate membership in the Commonwealth. All 56 countries that are currently part of the family of nations are full members, described as independent and equal. Now the next two paragraphs, this is what I want you to pay attention to. The Commonwealth's eligibility criteria states that an applicant country should, as a general

rule, have had a historic constitutional association with an existing Commonwealth member. Well, we did, and that's why we had a revolution. I'll save in exceptional circumstances. Now, the next one. Countries must also comply with the Commonwealth's fundamental values, principles and priorities, including being a democracy, having transparent public accounts, protection of human rights, and acknowledge the king as head of the Commonwealth.

How's Mr. Chumkin handle that one? Is he going to acknowledge King Charles? He might just say, well, I'm acknowledging him as the head of the Commonwealth. Well, if you put the USA in the Commonwealth, you just acknowledge King Charles as the head of America. Folks, this is one of the most bizarre things I have seen and what I have found so far in the folks I've talked to who are true blue Trump supporters is either one they don't want to talk about it and they don't want to discuss it they don't want to they don't even entertain this

conversation with me or number two They just outright deny it. It's not true. They're making it up even though you can show them the articles doesn't matter It's not real That's how shocking it is to everybody So I I would I would encourage you to speak up Let the White House know how you feel about it. Let your members of Congress know how you feel about it. Another article from the Telegraph. America's rich scrambled to open Swiss bank accounts over Trump fears. America's elite are

racing to open Swiss bank accounts and move hundreds of millions of dollars out of the country as they fear being targeted by Donald Trump. Fears of potential restrictions on moving money overseas mean ultra wealthy Democrat families are moving huge chunks of cash out of the country as an insurance policy against the Republican administration. This just appeared a few hours ago in the Telegraph. Robert Paul, co-head of private clients at wealth management firm London & Capital said, quote, these are big chunks of money. We've had five cases in the last three or four weeks, and the sums have been 40 million, 30 million, 30 million, 100 million, 50 million.

I am expecting to have at least this again, if not more. The article says these these clients are taking money out of U.S. brokerage accounts and opening accounts in Switzerland, Jersey, and Guernsey. Now that's not New Jersey folks, that's the island. These are the Channel Islands, Jersey and Guernsey, which are off the coast of Great Britain, the British Jersey and Guernsey which are off the coast of Great Britain, the British islands and yet they are the tax havens and they're well known among people who do offshore banking and offshore incorporation and so it says they're opening accounts in Switzerland, Jersey, Guernsey to put in cash deposit or in trust structures abroad.

So they're setting up trust to protect their assets. Here's a quote from this person. It is literally a borders thing. Having some money that is not domestically located inside the u.s There there has been fear around capital controls and movement of money Why it's heightened in the past four weeks is because the rhetoric is chopping and changing pretty quickly a

lot of this is discussions around dinner parties of the ultra wealthy people saying, I'm worried about this and maybe you should be worried about this. So what this article is telling us is that the super wealthy Democrats are panicking and they believe two things. Mr. Trump is going to go after, think about this, if the Trump administration opens up criminal investigations into to things that were done during the Biden administration, to both go after Mr. Trump, but also to move money from the Treasury through the USAID agency into nonprofits controlled by these wealthy families.

You see where I'm going with this? Maybe they're afraid that, that, uh, the treasury department is going to try to claw back some of this money. Maybe they're afraid that they're going to be involved in criminal investigations out for participating in a political cabal to destabilize the first Trump administration and to put mr. Trump in prison during the last four years Something has spooked some wealthy Democrats and they are fleeing with their money a Judy Gost Managing director of private clients at Henley and Partners in New York. Now Henley, I'm acquainted with this company.

This is a global law firm. They've got about probably about 60 offices worldwide. They specialize in obtaining second passports, in incorporating companies in other countries, opening up offshore bank accounts and so forth. One of the preeminent corporations that does this kind of work. So Judy Gost said at least a quarter of her clients are inquiring about moving money out of the US because of the new administration. That's stunning. One-fourth of Henley and a partner's law clients are talking

about moving money out of the United States. She went on to say some are looking at investment migration strategies such as New Zealand's investor visa scheme But others really just want to open bank accounts in Switzerland She went on to say I hear a lot about Switzerland and Lichtenstein I Talked to somebody at one Swiss bank who told me that they had opened 12 accounts like this for Americans in the past two weeks. Lichtenstein, if you don't know about Lichtenstein, a tiny little country next to Switzerland, one of the smallest countries in the world. It's where wealthy Swiss put their money. If you go to Lichtenstein, you have a lot of money. The only reason you're going to Lichtenstein is to open up a bank account

because you've got a lot of money to put in a bank account outside of your country. Miss Goss said they are concerned that it is not in their best interest to hold all of their assets in the United States. They want to diversify any risk and that involves them potentially moving some part of their portfolios to other countries. Ollie Marshall, director of buying agency Prime Purchase said, quote, I think it's mainly Democratic Party sponsors worried about some form of financial retribution. Of course, there's no proof the administration is actively targeting

them yet, but the government's policies are so extreme, they could be right to be worried about it. You know what this sounds like? It sounds like the Obama days in reverse. What happened back when Mr. Obama was in the White House from what was it 2009 to 2016 was a lot of Americans or conservative Americans were afraid that mr. Obama would seize their money or lock down their accounts or

Take various draconian Measures that would make it difficult to move their money outside of the country. In fact, it was Mr. Obama that really cracked down on offshore investing. He made it very difficult for Americans to open up bank accounts around the world. For a long time after Obama was in the White House, many banks around the world just said, we'd prefer not to do business with Americans. It's just too much trouble because we have to deal with the IRS and the Treasury Department

and we'd rather just not do it. The people who could do it were the people who were wealthy enough to pay expensive lawyers to take care of all those things. So what we have now is the reverse of what we had during the Obama years. During the Obama years, it was conservatives, Republicans who were fleeing with their money, setting up bank accounts around the world. Some people actually leaving the country. I know people that went to Panama and Ecuador, Australia, New Zealand

and never came back. Now it's Democrats that are moving their money out of the country and some of them leaving like Rosie Rosie O'Donnell, who went to Ireland. And many of them will never come back. But if you look at what happened after the years of Obama, things weren't as bad as what we thought it was. He didn't do the things that we thought he was going to do. And the same thing is going to be true with Mr. Trump.

There's just political fear right now. But again, maybe some of them have reason to be afraid because they participated in nefarious political activities to put Mr. Trump in prison. Maybe that's what they're concerned about. Let's take a look at World War III. they're concerned about. Let's take a look at World War III. This is Remax News. Remix, not Remax. Remax is the real estate agency. Remix News. Outrage after German intelligence chief says Ukraine war should keep going for another five years. The Ukraine war has already cost hundreds of thousands of lives, but Germany's top intelligence chief

is predicting far more carnage, and Ukraine's political opposition is reacting with outrage. Bruno Kahl, head of the Federal Intelligence Service, BND in Germany, made the comments in an interview. He said, quote, if a war in Ukraine comes to a standstill, folks look at the date earlier than 2029 or 2030 there. I can't make this stuff up.

I can't make it up. There it is. If the war in Ukraine comes to a standstill earlier than 2030, then all the means of Russia, both the technical and the material, are able much earlier to provide a threat against Europe. You know what he just said? The purpose of the war in Ukraine is to bleed Russia before 2030. What is it about 2030? A big stinking world war. That's what it is.

And the purpose of the Ukraine war was to bleed out Russia, to weaken them before 2030. I want to reiterate to you, I believe with all my heart, that the grand finale, the climax of World War III, not the beginning, the beginning already started, it started back in 2022, the climax of World War III is sometime in the early 2030s. For me, I'm calculating that it's 2032 but I could be wrong. It could be as early as 2029.

It could be late as 2036. That's the window. That's the extreme fire danger zone. 2029 to 2036. There will be fire and it will be in the United States of America most likely it will be in Europe. It looks like Europe is going to fight Russia and the United States is going to fight China. That's the way it's shaping up right now. Let me get back to this article.

German newspaper, Berliner Zeitung, now asks, will the world, will the war be waged on the backs of Ukraine? Perhaps a ridiculous question concerning it has already been waged on their backs for the last three years. The paper further writes, in Ukraine, that passage is causing excitement. The reading in Kiev, the German intelligence chief publicly declares that the Ukraine war should not end before 2029. Otherwise, Russia could use its resources faster to pose a threat to Europe. In other words, a peace deal would not benefit Europe if it happens before the next five years. Instead, the German chief hints that it is in Europe's interest to continue sending waves of Ukrainian men to die at the front.

This is what Doc and I have been saying for three years. That this war was contrived by NATO for the purpose of bleeding out Russia. The former prime minister of Ukraine, Timoshenko reacted to Kahl's statement on her Facebook page. She wrote that something slipped out of Kahl's mouth that Ukrainians did not want to admit to themselves. She said, Did someone decide to pay for the exhaustion of Russia in the name of security in Europe with the existence of Ukraine in the lives of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians.

I never thought it would be discussed so officially and openly. She then called for Zelensky to immediately end the war and sign a peace agreement. The people in Ukraine are now figuring this out. You mean all of our sons, our brothers, our uncles, our fathers, you mean they died because NATO wanted a war, a war that's supposed to go to 2029, 2030 to wear out Russia so that Russia will be weak when it enters the final stage of World War three. That's what people are figuring out today in Ukraine. It's hard to believe that people are that wicked, that evil, that they scheme and plot and they would use the lives. You put it together, who knows several million men, Russian and Ukrainian have died over three years for what purpose?

What purpose? So that Russia would be depleted before the end of World War III. And then we have this one. This is published by RT. Ukraine had plans to blow up nuclear power plants as an ex-Solinsky aide. Excuse me. Ukraine's military intelligence chief, Karyl Budanov, proposed blowing up nuclear power plants to deny them to Russia if Kiev started losing in the conflict said Oleski are rest of it a former aid to Zelensky all right so listen to what

this is what's being said here that the chief of Ukraine's spy agency his name is Kareill Budanov. Previously in this war, at the beginning of the war said we will have to blow up our nuclear power plants in Ukraine to prevent the Russians from getting their hands on them. How many stories did we hear in the first two years of the war? The Western news media said, Russia is trying to blow up a nuclear power plant. We're like, why would they do that? Why would the Russians blow up a nuclear power plant?

They have them under control. They've got their troops there. They've seized the power plants and they're protecting them. Why would they blow them up? And the Russians were saying, no, it's the Ukrainians that are trying to blow it up. They're shelling the power plants. But the Western news media, including Fox News and CNN and the Washington Post and MSNBC and BBC and all of the Western media said Russia is trying to blow up the power plants the nuclear power plants and The average citizen it was too complicated to figure it out. You just said oh, okay, whatever you had to be really Following the story closely now what we're seeing is that this Alessky arrest of itch who was an aide to Zelensky, gave an interview. And he commented on remarks by President Trump,

who said that the United States should take over ownership and control of Ukraine's power plants, including their nuclear power plants, and that the U.S. would protect the infrastructure. According to Arustovich, he said that Mr. Trump is trying to prevent a nuclear catastrophe rather than simply seizing the facilities for the benefit of the USA. This is what he said, quote, They know about our plans to blow up all the nuclear power plants if Ukraine starts losing. Budanov was running around with that idea a year and a half ago to blow up everything,

the Russian plants we can reach and our own so nobody can get them on the principle. We all bite the dust, but so will they. According to a Salinsky's ex advisor, the U S government perceives the current Ukrainian government as apes with a grenade. They just want to take dangerous toys under their control. Wow. That give you a different perspective on what president Trump is doing in Ukraine. Another one from the Telegraph, Ukraine destroys Russian helicopters in Heimer's missile strikes.

Now Heimer's are American and the Ukrainians have to have American intelligence and US military assistance to make strikes. So what's going on here? Why is the US helping? What's happening? This is, as you can see, are the helicopters being destroyed? They are being destroyed with US made Heimer missiles. So not sure why the United States is enabling them to do it, but that's not good for peace. Another one from the Telegraph. Is this the year Trump bombs Iran?

And why is The Telegraph asking that question? Is this the year, 2025, that President Trump will bomb Iran? It says the early signs are that there is plenty for the Alatollahs to worry about. When Trump and Putin spoke at length this week in an effort to end the Ukraine war, there was cozy talk that the Middle East was a region of potential cooperation to prevent future conflicts. You see where the telegraph is going? That the Iranians are worried that behind the scenes, Mr. Putin and Mr. Trump are talking about what to do with the Middle East,

and that Russia and the United States could come together and bring about a settlement in some of the conflicts in the Middle East. The telegraph said immediately afterwards, Vladimir Putin contacted Iran to offer his services as an intermediary with the Americans. The Russians said Trump wants to talk and is preferring it over war. One regime insider told the Telegraph, talking about somebody from Iran.

The nightmare scenario in Tehran is that Putin may withdraw his support for the Iranian regime in return for Trump's support over Ukraine, and that a Russian-American alliance could force it into humiliating compliance over the nuclear issue. The humbling of Zelensky in the Oval Office remains a vivid warning. There is a big uncertainty around after what happened to Zelensky in the White House said the source. So if this is accurate, the Iranians are nervous that President Trump and President Putin are working on a deal that's gonna involve Iran.

And because Russia is Iran's big brother, supporting them. If Russia pulls out, what does Iran do? They don't have anyone to run to. In the first Trump administration, Peter Navarro was the shining, in my opinion, he was the shining star in the first administration. Peter Navarro really came to the forefront and stood out as different than other members of the Trump administration.

So far in this, what are we, we're just now, gosh, it's only as not's not even three full months. But I would tell you, in my opinion, the shining star in the Trump administration in the second term is Steve Witkoff. I am impressed by him. He is doing an outstanding job. He's not a trained diplomat, but he is handling some of the most difficult situations in the world.

And he's doing it with great finesse and skill and diplomacy. And he's doing it as a volunteer. He's not on the government payroll. I am impressed by Steve Witkoff and glad to see an adult in the room after what we've seen in Washington in recent years. Mr. Witkoff sat down with Tucker Carlson and this is just recent, over the weekend, and they talked about the letter that President Trump sent to Iran. Let's listen.

So with that all said, he wrote that letter. And why did he write that letter? For people who aren't aware of that, can you roughly describe what it said? It roughly said, I'm a president of peace. That's what I want. There's no reason for us to do this militarily. We should talk. We should get get we should clear up the misconceptions we should create a

verification program so that nobody worries about weaponization of your nuclear material and I'd like to get us to that place because the alternative is not a very good alternative. It's that's a rough encapsulation Yes of what was said, roughly. And the president has said that. He's said that, so I'm not telling you anything is top secret or anything of that sort. The Iranians have reached back out. And I'm not at liberty to talk about the specifics, but clearly through back channels,

through multiple countries and multiple conduits, they've reached back out. I think that it has a real possibility of being solved diplomatically, not because I've talked to anybody in Iran, but just because I think logically it makes sense that it ought to be solved diplomatically. It should be. I think the president has acknowledged that Iran, that he's open to an opportunity to clean it all up with Iran, where they come back to the world and be a great nation once again and not have to be sanctioned and being able to grow their economy.

Their economy, I mean, these are very smart people. Their economy was once a wonderful economy. They're being strangled and suffocated today. There's no need for that to happen. They can join the League of Nations and we can have a better relationship and grow that relationship and that's what he's presenting. That's the alternative he's presenting. I think he wants to deal with Iran with respect.

He wants to build trust with them, if it's possible. And that's his directive to his administration. And hopefully that will be met positively by the Iranians. I'm certainly hopeful for it. I think anything can be solved with dialogue by clearing up misconception and miscommunication and disconnects between people. I believe that, by the way. And yet, and the president is a president who doesn't want to go to war. And he'll use military action to stop a war. That's when he actually wants to use military action.

In this particular case, hopefully it won't be necessary. Hopefully we can do it at the negotiating table. Steve Wittkopf, I've never met the man, but I can tell this guy is a very reasonable level-headed man. And he genuinely wants to hear the other side's position. Why do you think that way? Why are you behaving that way? Why are we in this conflict? Help me understand. That's, you need that and that's what's been missing in Washington for many years. Now, Mr. Witkoff, you know, they're playing good cop, bad cop because National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, he's playing bad cop. And we'll see this in this next video clip. This is from CBS Face the Nation.

Envoy Steve Witkoff said in an interview that Iran had responded to this US outreach via multiple channels in regard to a letter sent by the president. Witkoff described it as an offer to Iran to create a verification program so nobody worries about weaponization of nuclear material. Can you clarify, is the US seeking the dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program or verification like what President Obama put in place back in 2015 and President Trump pulled out of? Full dismantlement. Okay. Iran has to give up its program in a way that the entire world can see.

And this is, look, as President- Have they said they're interested? As President Trump has said, this is coming to a head. All options are on the table. And it is time for Iran to walk away completely from its desire to have a nuclear weapon. And they will not and cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapons program. Have they responded to the president's call for these talks? That is weaponization and that it's strategic missile program.

Can you only imagine? We've seen the death and destruction that they're doing through its proxies between Hezbollah, the Assad regime, the Houthis and what have you. If they had nuclear weapons, the entire Middle East would explode in an arms race. That is completely unacceptable to our national security. I won't get into what the back and forth has been, but Iran is in the worst place it has been

from its own national security since 1979, thanks to Hezbollah, Hamas, the Assad regime and its own air defenses being taken out by the Israelis. So there's still a chance for diplomacy. I know you don't want to get into it first. Well, of course, I mean, the president has all options on the table, but we want to be clear. This isn't some kind of, you know, kind of tit for tat that we had under the Obama administration

or Biden. This is the full program. Give it up or there'll be consequences. So you got a soft spoken Steve Witkoff saying to the irradians, hey, come on, sit down. Let's work this out. Because this guy over here, Mike Waltz, he wants to smash you guys. That's how they're working Iran. Good cop, bad cop. And we'll see how the Iranians respond. But I think that Telegraph article says it all.

If Mr. Trump, President Trump can persuade President Putin to withdraw his support for Iran and that the United States and Russia work together on a plan for the Middle East then Iran has no place left to stand and they will have to capitulate two stories about China and World War three a Lot of telegraph articles here today the telegraph China new weapon China's new weapon that can cut any undersea cable Well, you cut the cables you've lost internet communications You know continents how they communicate with each other through undersea cables

Chinese researchers have developed a compact deep sea device capable of severing even the most fortified underwater cables. The development raises concern that Beijing could target critical communication and power lines, especially in the event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. The tool can slice armored cables at depths of up to 13,123 feet, that's 4,000 meters, which is twice the maximum operational range of existing subsea communication infrastructure. The new technology contains a six inch diamond coated grinding wheel, which can spin at 1600 RPM, giving Beijing the ability to slice through deep sea cables

layered with steel, rubber and polymer sheaths. The tool developed by the China Ship Scientific Research Center and the China State Key Laboratory of Deep Sea Man Vehicles has been designed to be integrated into crude and uncrewed manned and unmanned submersibles that China already possesses. This technology is also armed with a titanium alloy shell while oil compensated seals prevent the tool from imploding because of the intense water pressure found 4,000 meters

underwater. Robotic arms have been designed to operate with advanced positioning technology to ensure accuracy despite limited visibility in the depths. You getting an idea what World War 3 looks like? When the West goes dark, that's what we're talking about. Because the next story, look what we just looked at. China has developed ways to sever cut in half the most fortified undersea cables providing communication from one continent to the other. Well, you say, well, but we have satellites.

If the cables are out, we've got satellites. Well, let's take a look at the next article. And what do we see? Chinese satellites seen dogfighting South China Morning Post China has been observed conducting coordinated maneuvers with its satellites atop US Space Force official says describing it as dog fighting in space and warning that the capability gap with the United States has narrowed. The U.S. Space Force observed five different objects in space maneuvering in and out and

around each other, said General Michael Guttland, the U.S. Air Force Space Force Vice Chief of Space Operations. He said this at a conference in Washington recently, quote, that's what we call dogfighting in space. They are practicing tactics, techniques, procedures to do an on orbit space operations from one satellite to another, the general said at the annual Macalce's Defense Programs Conference. General Gutland did not say who was conducting the maneuvers, but the Space Force later confirmed to American news media that the satellites he mentioned were Chinese. It gives one to describe specifically the types of satellites.

This is the first time multiple Chinese satellites have been observed carrying out synchronized movements. However, China has carried out many rendezvous proximity operations where spacecraft move close to each other and interact in space. There have also been reports of Chinese satellites approaching and stalking US space assets. Space Force. So you're going to have undersea cables cut, you're gonna have satellites taken out. This is what the grand finale of World War III looks like. And I hope you're taking this very seriously. We have less than five years to prepare.

I've seen this war coming for decades. I now have peace in my spirit that this war is coming in the early 2030s. For me, I always think it's going to happen tomorrow because God burned it so deeply into my spirit so that I would just keep talking about it. Last year when I went to Myrtle Beach for a week of prayer is when the Holy Spirit revealed to me that the timing for this war was in

the early 2030s. And so that did two things. It brought some relief to me that we weren't facing it imminently like any day because under Joe Biden, it looked like we were going to have a nuclear war with Russia any day. But the other thing it did is that it showed me how quickly five years will go by. And you just think about it. We're at 2025. Look back to 2020, the year of COVID. It seems like yesterday, doesn't it?

But 2030 will be here, very quickly. And if you don't take this seriously, you're not going to do anything over the next five years. You're not going to make any preparations. And so that's my admonition to you, do what you have to do. First of all, spiritually. Get things in order. Get your life in order. Get focused on Jesus Christ.

Do everything you can to disciple your family. To be disciples of Jesus Christ and be prepared. Second, physically prepare. I have no idea how bad this is going to be. One reason I purchased a company, American Reserves, so that you would get food, so that we would have food to make available to the body of Christ. So I encourage you to stockpile food.

You've got five years. The Lord thousands of years ago told Joseph, in seven years there's going to be a famine. You better get busy stockpiling food. Folks, somewhere five to seven years from now we're going to be in a horrific world war with China and it's going to be here in the United States. It's going to be fought in China, it's going to be fought here. We're not going to miss this one. This one's going to hit home. So spiritually you prepare, you prepare with food and then you also have to prepare financially. What's the financial world look like when this is over?

If we survive, things will be reset. Life will go on. That's something I've learned traveling around the world. No matter what disaster hits a country, life goes on. And people rebuild. And so I would encourage you to get in touch with GOLCO and make it your plan to build a portfolio of precious metals. You've got time. It's not too late. You have time. Gocco's number is 844-960-GOLD. But those are my three recommendations to you. I got two things to show you and then I'm going to end with my interview with George Foreman. This next one is, this article says,

why was Elon Musk playing with forks at Donald Trump's White House? I don't know, he has a space fleet. He sends rockets into space, he captures them with a giant robotic arm. He's got thousands of satellites around the world, low orbit satellites providing Starlink internet. He wants to put a microchip in people's brains. I don't know why he's playing with forks and spoons. Let's watch the video.

Maybe he's inventing something. Maybe he's solving a problem. I don't know. He's at a different IQ than me, right? Hey, I want to in with George Foreman he passed away a Friday night at his home in Houston Texas he loved Houston there's his church website he was a pastor boxing champion businessman the the George Foreman grill made him a very wealthy man. He was a rancher. He had a ranch in Marshall, Texas, and he pastored a church. And he preached four times every week. He was a father, grandfather, great-grandfather.

He was a good man. And I had the opportunity to interview him briefly for about 15 minutes in 2008. And I'm going to close today's True News by replaying that interview in honor of my brother in Christ, Pastor George Foreman, one of the greatest boxers that ever lived. Here it is. The Father's Day is coming up this Sunday and every dad wants to be treated like a champ. My guest today is a man who knows what it's like to be a dad and to be a champion. He's the father of 10 children, two-time world heavyweight boxing champion, and a spiritual father as pastor of a church. He's written a number of books, including Going the Extra Smile, Discovering the Life-Changing

Power of a Positive Outlook, George Foreman's Guide to Life, How to Get Up Off the Canvas When Life Knocks You Down, and his autobiography by George. His latest book is Fatherhood by George. Hard one advice on being a dad. It's an honor to bring on to True News for the very first time world champion George Foreman. Champ, welcome to True News. Thank you so very much. It is an honor to have you on the program, my friend. Just trying to live a good life.

I know you are. Well, listen, first of all, let's talk about you being a dad. You've got ten children. I mean, you know something about being a father. Yeah, can you believe five sons, five daughters. That's amazing. And I've enjoyed every one of them. And you know you've been a success when one tells you, look, I need time, I need space, give me, I need to live my own life. That means I've done a good job. That's right. It really is.

It means you've raised them to a place that they can go, they can fly the nest and take care of themselves. And a lot of people don't realize that they'll get upset when their kids tell them, look, I need space, let me live my own life. They think it's an offensive thing, but really it's the reality that you've been in there. You've really been in their lives and when you hear that, it's the crowned moment. That's right. It's in those young years that you are pouring your heart into them and when they're little and when they're teenagers and if you haven't put it into them by that

time, you're out of time. By the time they reach 18, 19, 20 years old, they're going to go on their own. That's true. They're going to be on their own. They're going to go on their own anyway, but you want to make certain that you leave a good impression for them in the early years. Let them know that you love them and this world is a good world and they're going to have to pay back a lot. And only you pay back with love.

You know, Chip, I think as dads, you know, we look back in raising our children and, you know, we remember the struggles that we went through, the hard times, everything that we battled and we think, how does our children think of us and how do they remember their childhood? And, you know, one time my son said to me, he said, Dad, you know what I remember about you growing up and I was like what he said he said I remember you on your knees all the time praying you better pray now but you know what Jim that I mean what that did to me as suddenly I realized you know that my son's adult and I realized, the impression I made on him was he remembers his dad praying.

And that's wonderful because there are a lot of young boys, especially young men, that's the last thing they can remember in their dads. You know, one was saying a prayer. That's right. I mean, that's just bringing songs alive. I didn't have that growing up and I know you didn't. Oh, but when you leave that impression can you imagine dad prayed. What are the things that you learned raising ten children? What are the most important things that a father can do for his children? Yeah when you raise ten kids you got to, it's very important that you understand that you don't have one child. You have ten individuals

and you're going to have to find out how to communicate one, just with one, each one of them in a different way. Just can't say, you did well in school, why aren't you doing well like your sister? You have to just say, look, you did well and let's embrace how the next one is doing. What were some of the things that... What got you through the hard spots in life when raising your children? Well, the hardest time is that, you know, sometimes you raise your kids and everything you say, especially the daughters, they love you. They love you from the ground from day one.

Then all of a sudden, they are not into you. And when that happened to me first, for the first time, I almost fainted. My daughter had other plans and maybe, you know, you weren't nice to me, now I'm not going to be nice to you. I had to suffer through that. Then what happened the second time, I said, oh, she's just 16. What about, are your daughters married? Yeah, I've got five grandkids by the way.

I've seen them go and watch them through the aisle and getting married and getting married license and leaving you. But that's a crowning moment because you realize that they're not leaving you, they're coming back with extra kids now. What was the feeling when you walked your first daughter down the aisle? You know, it was strange because one in particular daughter got married and so she wanted me to preach her wedding. So I was going to officiate the wedding so I had to have one of her uncles to be there

to give her away. So it worked out. That was a touching moment because I asked, who gives this woman? And then her uncle said, I do. I said, hmm, I do that too. Yeah, so it's a wonderful moment and it's the most beautiful moment in a father's life to see the daughter walk down that aisle for marriage. It is an unforgettable moment.

It is. When you're releasing your daughter and it's just it's something that you never forget. Ah, you got to have a lot of trust because then you, the biggest trust you have, you release your daughter but at the same time you're getting yourself a son. That's right. You got to look at it like that. That's right. I'm not losing my daughter. You've added to the family. Yeah, I've got myself a son. All right, now what's the difference in raising daughters and raising sons? The difference with raising sons is that the daughters are a little tougher. You know, at one point if you can arm-wrestle your son and you can beat them in arm-wrestling,

they know you have an upper hand. But the daughters, arm-wrestling mean nothing. They think they are tough and they rule you until they just get tired and have pity on you. They're not afraid of you. Daughters are never afraid. Did any of your five daughters think that they had George Foreman wrapped around their little finger? They still do. They still do, huh? They still do. You love the daughters so much because that's an inspirational thing is to have a daughter and then they come out and they love you.

You're first. Daddy this, daddy that. That inspirational thing is to have a daughter and then they come out and they love you. You're first. Daddy this, daddy that. That's so important to you. So, of course, they get the privilege of everything you never hear and know. That's what it is. How do you balance that with your sons? Because dads treat their sons different than they treat their daughters. Yeah, and I have the sons too.

Their daughters are so special because it's all about loving and giving to the daughters. It really is. Every now and then one will turn out a little tougher and you'll have to play the tough love and you'll say no and then you go into the room and cry about it with the daughters. I said no. But with the sons, you know, it's a little different. No comes a lot easy because they're asking so many things, unrealistic things, and you got to say no, no, no, no.

But at the same time, you got to be ever present in their life. When you say no, you're with them and you're not just saying no and you leave their lives alone. And our sons, we're instilling a sense of, well, it is a sense of toughness, of firmness, of moral resolve. With our daughters, we have to teach these basic principles in a different manner. And you've got to understand it's a different thing with the girls, with the sons and daughters. As long as you know it is different. And don't be afraid to know it is different.

If you try to treat them all the same, that's when you have a problem. But I found over the years it's about listening. They'll tell you what exactly you ought to do with them in their own way, with their eyes. Sometimes they'll ask you to do something and you, they'll tell you, please say no. They'll say, please say no, dad, but with their eyes. Yes. What about indiscipline?

What were the right things that you did in discipline, and what were some of the wrong things that you did? I think we all, as fathers, look back and realize that the way that we disciplined our children evolved over the years. The good thing about having a wife, and it really clears you because I can be all nice most of the time and when they need discipline, my wife can say, uh oh, I'm going to take care of this. That helps me out so much.

Your wife is backing up? Yeah, the wife is the disciplinary. She comes in and takes over. The hard hand, she's the tough hand. So you're saying in the Foreman home that the kids were more afraid of Mrs. Foreman than George Foreman? I think so.

And I get this look on my face, like you're disappointing me. You've hurt me so much. That bothered them a lot more of my children than I could have raising my boys. I did it all. He's hurt. Let me ask you this. Because you were two-time world heavyweight champion. Did that influence the way you disciplined your children?

Not at all as a matter of fact like boxing was a business just like the average guy's a carpenter Uh-huh boxing to me was just a business and I never brought my tools home and I never even let it bother me about You know trying to show off. I'm you go into into my house and you will not even see a trophy of a boxing match I had I put all those things away so that the kids can go out and let know me as dad. Really? That's some heavyweight champ of the world. That's fascinating so you say you just... You just a tool I put... That's where daddy works. Yeah that's where daddy works. Yeah, that's what daddy works and you know, he comes home Just like he probably if a cop in to come home, he just wouldn't know how to fix his own cabinet

So if somebody years ago asked your sons, what does daddy do and did they say he makes people's head snap back? They knew me as George Foreman and they saw me on television but it never occurred to them that they had a dad who was a heavyweight champ in the world. It just didn't get to them. I guess later on they started being asked questions about it. Really? That's interesting. I heard the same thing about Ross Perot.

I read this in a Dallas paper when I lived in Texas and I think it was Ross Jr. said that growing up he didn't know his dad was a billionaire. Yes, that's right because you don't want to bring this, whatever you do and whatever you're known for in the world like that is just a tag that kids want to know. They only need his dad. They want a dad. All the other things are not important to them. I mean, if they

want to see someone famous, they'll turn on and watch a rock star or something. They're not interested in famous dads. They really are not. They want you. What would you say to a young dad right now? The child is just born or just in toddler size, what are the things that that young man should do on a regular basis? The regular when you're having children ever present make certain that if they fall asleep they see you in a dream even if they're two or three years old they're gonna dream about things anyway make sure that you're that part of that person they dream about when they're in

school they dream and every now and then pop by. And then, oh, that's dad. He's in the office talking with the teacher or stopped by the PTA meetings. Go by the coaches, football games and everything. They're going to think anyway and always let them see you. That's all. You don't need to talk that much. Just let them see you, that's all. Cause you don't need to talk that much, just let them see you.

Where were you out in your career as a boxer when your children were growing up? When they were born, were you already a champ or what? Yeah, you gotta understand, let me see, my first child was born January 6th and January 22nd of that same year I was the heavyweight champion of the world for the first time. So you know all my kids have been raised around a dad who was part famous. I had 10 years out of boxing, that's when I became better at their homework than they

were. And I visited schools. So you were, even as world champion you were there helping the kids with their homework? Oh, yeah. I mean, you know, I had 10 years out of boxing. That's when my kids were all in school. And that's when I really got good at the homework and visiting school and trying to show them how to politics to get a better grade from the teacher.

Sit up, put a smile on your face, go to the state, save this kind of thing. And then I'd visit school. So I learned a lot in 10 years out of boxing. Then I returned to boxing after 10 years, became a heavyweight champ of the world and the rest of the kids, the young ones saw me as a boxer and heavyweight champ of the world. But I never took that stuff home. So when you were as a champ in the first time, I mean, you still, you made time for your children.

You must make time for your children. You think of having a kid and sending, even if it's one of the big Ivy League schools and you send a $20,000 payment for semesters, that doesn't mean anything to children. They want your presence. They want some time in your life. you can't buy them so there's there's no excuse for any dad to say I'm just too busy I've got to work I've been in both cases where there was a limited amount of resources and not much money and kids don't care about that all they care about is mom and dad in their lives

especially they have a dad they'll feel comfortable especially if that dad really money and kids don't care about that. All they care about is mom and dad in their lives. Especially if they have a dad, they'll feel comfortable. Especially if that dad really loves mom or it makes it even more precious. We've seen numerous reports from psychologists and various study groups that confirm over and over and over that the presence of a dad in a home adds to a positive environment in raising the children and the absence of a dad often leads to children growing up dysfunctional or into crime, into drugs. Children without a dad are empty and they go through life searching for that relationship.

Oh yeah, no doubt about it that you just can't decide I'm going to have a baby and not be present in that child's life. They need their fathers. It's a better world for them, it's a safer world, they feel more secure. They feel all of the above. With a dad in the home, you got something special. Well, I think I about to have my last question. I may have to leave you. Well, listen, how about telling us your church?

How's your church going here? Yeah, you know, the church work is fine. I've been with the Church of Lord Jesus Christ now for what, 30 years now. I've been a minister for 31 years. I love preaching. That's my profession. I only moonlight as a grill salesman to eat all those kids.

And I got a couple of your grills, my friend. Hey, listen, I'd like to come back on some other time and I want you to preach. Thank you so very much. All right. God bless you, George Foreman.

Doc Burkhardt is not here with us today he's he's home he's ill he had he got the the infection I had last week and so I asked that you pray for him and also for my wife Susan. I passed it on to her also I did my best to stay away from everybody but It's something that's going around here in our community. So please pray for doc and Susan and I'm sure doc. We'll be back in a couple days took me a week to shake it,

and it's a pretty nasty bug. So today we are in the eighth chapter of Romans, and we're gonna be looking at verses 26 through 30. Let's pray, and then I'll read the word, and we'll begin our lesson. Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, Father, we love you and we praise you, we worship you. Father, we are gathered here, brothers and sisters from many nations to seek you and to be taught by your Spirit.

by your spirit. Father, we are desirous to know more about your Son and His kingdom and the inheritance that He has provided for us through His sacrifice on the cross. Teach us Lord in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Romans 8, 26 verses 26 through 30. Likewise, the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities, for we know not what we should pray for as we ought. But the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose, for whom he did foreknow.

He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also called, and whom he called, them he also justified, and whom he justified, them he also glorified." What a glorified. What a statement to study today. Verse 26, Likewise, the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities, for we know not what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." So it's saying in the same way, the Holy Spirit makes intercession before God on behalf of us. And he speaks with groanings that cannot be uttered, cannot be spoken. So you and I stand, we stand weak. We are burdened by spiritual frailties, ignorance, inadequacy, the inability to comprehend.

These human limitations cripple our prayers. And without the divine aid of the Spirit, we really wouldn't accomplish much. Have you ever, when you're praying, you just don't have the words to say what's in you. You try, you try to express, but it's not coming out the way that you feel it. But the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit knows what you feel, knows what you're thinking, and the Holy Spirit is taking our limited thoughts, our limited words, our limited ability to express ourselves. And the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit is in us, the Holy Spirit now communicates that to the Father, makes intercessions on our behalf and with groanings that cannot even be spoken of.

So we lack wisdom to pray as we ought to pray. And sometimes we're unsure of God's will. Or we're unsure of how to align our lives with His will. Our human flaws cause us to falter. And that exposes our need. But thank God the Holy Spirit. See, the Father has provided everything, everything. He knows that even when we desire to pray and communicate with Him, that we will be limited because of our human frailties, we will be limited in communicating with Him the way we desire to do it. And He made provision to make up for that inadequacy. He provided the Holy Spirit who is interpreting for us. The Holy Spirit is saying, what's she trying to say to you, Father? The Holy

Spirit is saying, what this young man is saying is this, we're trying to get the words out, we're trying to express our thoughts, our feelings, our desires, and the Holy Spirit already knows it and takes it to the Father and speaks it on our behalf. It's a very comforting thought to know that even though in our human form our prayers seem limited, in the spiritual world the Holy Spirit is supercharging our prayers. That gives me comfort. I was just thinking this morning, my own prayer time early this morning, I was very sleepy and I was trying to get my mind focused on what I wanted to say to the Lord. And I was kind of grappling for thoughts and words to speak this morning. And now as I read this, I'm realizing the Holy Spirit was speaking up for me, saying,

God, this is what Rick's trying to say. This is what's on his mind. This is what's in his heart. This is what he'd like to ask you for. Doesn't that make you feel good to know that the Holy Spirit is taking, He knows you more than you know you? And He's expressing your deepest inner thoughts and feelings and emotions and he's expressing it to God in the right way, in alignment with God's will. I'm telling you, this is a good knowledge to have every day. Think about this when you pray today. So our standing with God rests wholly on the Holy Spirit's help. Again, another gift of grace.

Once again, we see how God provided. We're not alone. The Lord has provided a way where He meets us in our human frailty and expresses our own thoughts to Him. We can't get saved without Him. There's nothing that we can do without Him. We can't even pray without Him. And He makes provision for us to pray the right way. So the Holy Spirit actively aids us, provides help, inter lawyer is an advocate. A lobbyist in government is an advocate.

Various nonprofit agencies are actively helping to help the people who are in need. And the government is doing a lot of work to help them. And government is an advocate. Various nonprofit agencies are advocates for causes and people. The Holy Spirit is your advocate. That's what He does. He advocates on your behalf. And He does it with profound power. He has direct communication to the Father. He's actively involved in your life, and His help transcends your human weaknesses I hope this encourages you today. Test it out as soon as this Bible lesson is over. Just start praying, expressing to God what you've been desiring to say to Him, and know that your words are being supercharged on their way to heaven. The Holy Spirit is taking what you're trying to say and He's forming the words,

making the sentences, structuring the paragraphs from your heart and presenting it to God in a powerful way. His intercession is what the word intercession it means somebody is interceding getting involved on your behalf before somebody else. They are interceding on your behalf. And so the Holy Spirit's intercession flows with these inexpressible groans. They're divine, they're not human. They surpass understanding. They are beyond human articulation. heartfelt intent known only to God. See, it's the Holy Spirit who's groaning.

I was taught early in my walk with God that we do the groaning. That's not what the word says. The Holy Spirit is doing the groaning. I don't know if you've ever heard that taught. That doctrine was taught to me that, you know, you're speaking in tongues, you're groaning, you're speaking words that nobody else understands, and this is the Holy Spirit speaking. Now it's the Holy Spirit who's groaning, you're speaking words that nobody else understands and this is the Holy Spirit speaking. Now it's the Holy Spirit who's groaning. You're supposed to be doing the talking and the Holy Spirit does the groaning. The Holy Spirit is speaking inexpressible words, words that you can't express, you can't formulate the words, you can't put the sentences in place. They are expressions beyond human articulation. Communication that is only known between the Spirit and the Father. And the Holy Spirit ensures that your prayers

match God's perfect will. Now, this is comforting to know. That even as we pray in our human ignorance, when I say ignorance, ignorance of God's perfect will, the Holy Spirit takes our prayers and says, what's He meant to say is this. What He's trying to say is this, he desires to do your will. What he's asking for here, let's adjust it to be in alignment with your will, Father. See, the Holy Spirit does the will of God, but we don't always know the will of God. But the Holy Spirit does.

And so the Holy Spirit takes our prayers, gives it an alignment, like you take your car to the garage and say it's out of alignment and they bring it back into alignment as you pray The Holy Spirit is automatically aligning your prayers with the will of God He does it for you so that your prayers become effective He stands between human weakness and divine perfection. He makes our prayers effective. He makes our prayers acceptable to God. He compensates for our human weaknesses and inadequacy. weaknesses and inadequacy. In our frailty, we find divine strength

because he bridges the gap between humanity and Almighty God. The Holy Spirit's groans is expressing God's compassion for you. He's binding us together, this divine compassion. It's a love that is a divine partnership. Again, I hope what I'm saying to you in this verse, verse 26, Romans 8, that it brings peace and comfort to you today when you pray. All of us, we wonder, are we praying the right way? Are we praying in alignment with God's will? What verse 26 is telling you is the Holy Spirit gives it an automatic alignment. When it leaves your mouth, it goes to the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit cleans it up and says to God the Father, this is what he or she is saying to you right now. And so that's why we must rely on the Holy Spirit. Trust Him.

Ask for His active participation in your prayers. is active participation in your prayers. When you pray, ask the Holy Spirit to participate. I'll say, Holy Spirit, I am aware that you are here to carry my prayers to the Father and to adjust them to align them with His will. That you are here to advocate on my behalf. I will do the very best I can to express my thoughts and feelings, my hopes, my desires, my fears, everything. I want to express it, but you clean it up. You put it in the right words that the Father can hear and that He can act on my behalf.

Is that a comforting thing to know? How the Holy Spirit is helping you in your prayer every day? It's blessing me. So the Holy Spirit guarantees that your prayers make it right into the throne room. He carries your prayer into the throne room and presents your prayer in the proper form so that it is acceptable to God. Look, there's a protocol. When you meet important people, it's very important that you know the protocol.

All right, they're telling me my camera is off, hang on. Let me find my camera. Is it back on? Okay, my camera back on? Okay. Whenever you meet a very important high ranking person, what I do is I ask somebody an aide, I'll say, what's the proper way I should address this person? How do I enter his office? What do I say? What do I call him?

Especially when you're in different countries because customs are different Our Almighty God is our father all right, we do we have this close intimate relationship with him But he does have protocol he does have protocol. He does have his standards. And so when you take your petitions and that's what prayers are. Prayers are petitions. You're petitioning the king. You're saying to the king who happens to be your father, these are the things I'm asking for. I believe they're according to your will, and I'm asking in the name of Jesus. The Holy Spirit takes that petition and cleans it up, puts it in the right form, alters the wording, adjusts the entry. He makes it acceptable to the Father. It is a blessing from the Holy Spirit, the service that He provides us to make sure that our prayers reach our Father flawlessly.

They leave our mouths flawed, and they go through the Holy Spirit, and they go through the wash and rinse cycle, and then He cleans it up to present it to the Father. And it's a completely altered prayer. I say altered, let me get a drink of water. Altered, not that he's changed what you're asking for, but he's changed it in the way you're asking. But he's changed it in the way you're asking. So let's go to verse 27. And he that searcheth the heart knows what is in the mind of the Spirit because He maketh intercession for the saints

according to the will of God. So as believers, we stand as saints, we're set apart, and we're known by God's searching eye, who's looking at us, watching us, he searches hearts, and he obviously grasps the Holy Spirit's mind perfectly. He knows every heart. He knows what the Holy Spirit is speaking on our behalf. He perfectly understands. No need, not one of your need escapes your Father's all-seeing care. No thought goes unnoticed. Never have any concern that your Heavenly Father doesn't know what you're dealing with. He knows it more than you do. So the Holy Spirit prays for us in flawless accord with God's will.

Again, perfectly aligned, consistent with God's purposes for His kingdom and for your life. The Holy Spirit intercedes for each saint who are the chosen ones, the sons and daughters of God. We are saints. We are sons and daughters. The Spirit perfects our pleas. Again, He takes our flawed When I say flawed, flawed in the sense that they're presented in a weak manner, not entirely structured the way they should be structured. The Holy Spirit takes what we are saying and rewrites it for us. Kind of like a parent, you know, when a child is writing something for school and the parent looks at it and says, let me give you some suggestions.

Let's rewrite this paragraph. So one of the things I like about AI, if you're not using artificial intelligence as a tool, it is a great tool to rewrite what you write. I'm trying to get all my staff members using AI, well, most of them are using AI in the documents that they're writing. Don't send it out with mistakes, typos, wrong sentence structure, poor grammar. Submit it to AI and let AI clean it up for you,

make you look smart. That's what the Holy Spirit's doing. The Holy Spirit's making us look smart. The Holy Spirit's saying, here is what John is asking you, Father. Here is what Karen has presented to you. And it's done in a biblical manner according to the laws of God. And it's got faith because the Holy Spirit is presenting it with faith. If you have faith, so the Spirit perfects our pleas, aligns them with God's will, His intention, and our weaknesses yield to God's divine power. And then our petitions become powerful. They leave our mouths weak, but by the time they arrive in heaven, they're

strong. That's what I want you to leave today from this lesson. That's what I want you to leave knowing. That your prayers leave your mouth weak, they arrive in heaven strong because of the Holy Spirit. One of the amazing things the Holy Spirit does for us. Verse 28. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. I think many of us have heard these verses. It assures us that events, even trials, adversities, ultimately contribute to our good. I like to think of this verse as my insurance policy, my heavenly insurance policy. I'm insured.

What am I insured? I'm insured. My policy says, my heavenly insurance policy says, all things work together for the good of Rick who loves God and is called according to God's purpose. I have that in writing. That's in my insurance policy. So when things are not going well, when something has happened I didn't expect, when there's adversity, a change in the climate around me, I can go, praise God, I got an insurance policy. This is all going to work out for my good. Because the policy says all things work together for the good of those who love God to those who are called according to his purpose. And I don't have to worry about the effect it's going to have.

When it's over, it's going to have a good effect because my God will make sure of it. All things includes both joys and sufferings, positive and negative negative they're all working together under God's plan Does it mean God sent the negative? No, it says he takes the negative and he makes it he does something good with it That's what it says He will use the negative. Look if Satan sends negative things to you Don't fret about it. God will take it and turn it around and use it for your good. Just trust him. The promise is for those who love God. It's not for everybody. It's for those who love God. It says, who are called. The called are those whom God has chosen and set apart for His purpose. That's you. That's

me. We are the called. We have been set apart. If you're set apart, you're holy. What holy means is set apart for God's use. And so you've been set apart from all mankind for God's purpose involvement in our lives, that the providence of God is orchestrating events for a divine purpose that brings about His glory and our blessing in our spiritual walk with Him. Now the ultimate good may not always align with our immediate comfort, but it points to eternal benefit. Okay, you need to understand that when it says that all things work for good. Doesn't mean you come out smelling like a rose every time in the immediate situation,

but it means in the long run, you come out ahead, you come out a winner. Like to skip down to our next verse. Hang on, let me scroll through my notes here. Verse 29. Verse 29, for whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. God's foreknowledge is his intimate loving choice from eternity. It is his intimate awareness of who will be saved. We as believers, we stand chosen.

We are rooted in his grace. This word predestination, it obviously stirs up a lot of controversy. I don't believe that God has predestined some people to burn in the lake of fire. I believe He desires all people to be saved, but He knows who will be saved. He knows. He knows who will reject Him. He knows who will refuse His offer of grace. We are predestined. It was God's desire from the beginning when he made mankind. He predestined us to live in his kingdom. We are predestinated to be his sons and daughters. We were chosen. We were predestinated.

And yet there are many that refuse to accept what the Father desires for them. They opt out. It's not that they have to be brought in, they opt out. They choose grace. So we are we are his spiritual family. And God molds believers into the likeness of his son Jesus Christ. And that work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, sanctification, bringing us into a state of holiness, that is what shapes our eternal destiny. Now, God's unchanging plan, His purpose has reigned, it's been reigning, ruling from eternity. Nothing will alter it, nothing will change it. He has predestinated that man will live with him, that those who believe in his son, see this is what he's predestinated, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. And again, he already knows who will not call and who will call, but it is his

intent that all would call upon the name of his son to be saved and that none would be lost. Verse 30, moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also called, and whom he called, them he also justified, and whom he justified, them he also glorified. This is a, you and I stand in an unbreakable golden chain. We are predestinated, we are called, we are justified, we are glorified. That chain cannot be broken. It's God's sovereign plan, and He binds us to Him. It's a seamless work of grace, and the Holy Spirit is actively involved in our lives to get us from predestined to called to justified to glorified. Glorified is at the end. When Christ comes back, we're glorified. We receive our glorified bodies. We live with the Father in His presence forever. in His presence forever. Right now we're justified. You're predestined and you're called. The fact that you were called. You responded to the call. You said yes to Christ. Then you said yes to the Holy Spirit to clean up your life, you justify.

Then the day is coming, you will be glorified. But this is all done by grace. It's all by God's, His love, His grace. His plan began before time began. There was a time when there was no time. How do I say that? See, that doesn't even make sense. There was a time there was no time. What was before time? God. He made time for us. God didn't need time. He doesn't have a watch. He doesn't have clocks. He doesn't have calendars. He didn't need time. He made time for humans to measure the days of their lives. But this plan began before God made time.

We gain our righteousness by faith in Christ's atonement, which was done at the cross of Calvary. Everything is grace through faith. This is the message, grace through faith. We are unable to do anything. God did it all for us. All we have to do is believe and receive and walk in it, and God does the rest for us. So the last process, glorification. In God's eyes it's already done, you're already glorified. Now you and I we look at each other and go we're not glorified, in God's eyes you are. See, are. See, God starts when he has a project, he starts at the end and works his way back to the beginning. I'll let you meditate on that today. When he

starts a project, he starts at the end and then works his way back to the beginning. You are already glorified. He arranged that before the world was made. He's just working his way now to bringing you to what he already decided, what he already did. So he sealed our end. It's sealed. You are sealed by the Holy Spirit. You are sealed, your soul is sealed. He's done it. It's finished. He saw you saved. He saw you glorified before he made you. And no human and no devil can break this golden chain. This golden chain of predestined, called, justified, glorified.

Nobody can break it. chain reflects God's sovereign purpose. We're interconnected, and we're interconnected with each other. And God's wisdom weaves all of this together into this beautiful chain. And this chain ends in eternal glory, a full transformation. It culminates in glorification. That's the radiant goal at the end of our lives. And what we have is the promise that the Holy Spirit is working in you and through you to fulfill what God has already decided for you. So I hope I presented this I hope I presented this in a way that you understand it. If not, the Holy Spirit will have to do His groaning and transform my words and present them to you. But if there's anything

I want you to leave today, I want you to understand that the Holy Spirit is praying through you. The Holy Spirit is taking your words and cleaning them up and making new sentences, new paragraphs, and presenting them with great feeling, groanings that cannot be uttered. He's taking your deepest inner thoughts and needs and desires and presenting them to God the Father in a format with great intensity that the Father can't resist and the Father will grant your prayers, He'll grant your petitions. So pray today with a new understanding and a new sense of peace about what the Holy Spirit's doing in your life.

That's it for me today. That's all I have to share with you. And I encourage you to continue pray this week for Doc and my wife Susan, that both of them will recover. And protection over everybody in our ministry staff that this infection, this cold will not spread and affect more people. And I pray for you, I want you to know that I pray every morning for the brethren who support this ministry. You are my brothers and sisters and I could not do this without you.

And I ask God every day to make His face to shine upon you and your family, your spouses, your children, your grandchildren, your parents, everybody who means something to you. I pray that God shines His face upon you, protects you, blesses you, that goodness and mercy pursue you and your family throughout the day, and that He answers your prayers and meets your needs and solves your problems. That's my heart's desire for you every day. All right, that's it. We'll see you tomorrow on Morning Manna.
