00:00:06.876 --> 00:00:07.918
REBECCA LAMB WEISS:
THANKS FOR TUNING IN
00:00:07.918 --> 00:00:09.459
TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF
ON AIR WITH REBECCA.
00:00:09.459 --> 00:00:11.999
I RECENTLY SAT WITH ONE OF
MY FAVORITE PEOPLE,
00:00:11.999 --> 00:00:13.375
DR. KYNAN BRIDGES.
00:00:13.375 --> 00:00:15.751
AND WE HAD A VERY
ENGAGING CONVERSATION.
00:00:15.751 --> 00:00:18.959
IT WAS SO GOOD THAT WE COULDN'T
FIT IT INTO ONE EPISODE,
00:00:18.959 --> 00:00:21.209
SO LET'S PICK IT UP
WHERE WE LEFT OFF.
00:00:21.209 --> 00:00:23.000
REBECCA LAMB WEISS: BUT
WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:25.999
WHEN ALL OF THESE
HOLLYWOOD ACTORS WERE COMING OUT
00:00:25.999 --> 00:00:26.999
ABOUT WHEN --
THEY'LL TALK ABOUT
00:00:26.999 --> 00:00:29.751
ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF TOPICS,
AND THEY'RE SO PASSIONATE
00:00:29.751 --> 00:00:30.292
ABOUT IT.
00:00:30.292 --> 00:00:32.876
BUT WITH THIS WHOLE
CANCEL CULTURE MENTALITY,
00:00:32.876 --> 00:00:34.375
WHEN THEY WOULD SPEAK OUT
AGAINST THESE PEOPLE,
00:00:34.375 --> 00:00:36.459
RIGHT, SOMEONE WOULD BE
LIFTED UP FOR SOMETHING
00:00:36.459 --> 00:00:38.709
THAT THEY SAID AND THEN
EVERYONE WOULD CANCEL THEM,
00:00:38.709 --> 00:00:40.417
AND THEN ALL THESE
HOLLYWOOD PEOPLE WOULD COME OUT
00:00:40.417 --> 00:00:42.000
AND SAY, I CAN'T
BELIEVE THEY DID THIS.
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.626
AND I REMEMBER IT
REMINDED ME OF SOMETHING,
00:00:45.626 --> 00:00:48.709
AND IT MADE ME FEEL
GROSS, AND I THOUGHT,
00:00:48.709 --> 00:00:52.834
WHO DO THESE PEOPLE REMIND ME
OF, THESE HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES.
00:00:52.834 --> 00:00:55.626
AND THEN I PUT IT TOGETHER
AND I GO, OH, MY GOSH,
00:00:55.626 --> 00:00:57.334
THESE REMIND ME OF THE
RELIGIOUS CHRISTIANS
00:00:57.334 --> 00:01:00.375
I GREW UP WITH BECAUSE
THEY WERE HYPOCRITES.
00:01:00.375 --> 00:01:01.501
DR. KYNAN BRIDGES: MM.
00:01:01.501 --> 00:01:03.999
REBECCA: IT WAS THAT
SAME KIND OF SPIRIT
00:01:03.999 --> 00:01:06.918
WHERE IT WAS LIKE,
THERE'S NO REDEMPTION FOR YOU.
00:01:06.918 --> 00:01:07.459
DR. BRIDGES: EXACTLY.
00:01:07.459 --> 00:01:09.999
REBECCA: YOU'VE DONE
WRONG, LEGALISTIC.
00:01:09.999 --> 00:01:11.792
AND THEY'RE HOLDING UP
THIS STANDARD.
00:01:11.792 --> 00:01:13.999
AND THAT'S NOT THE GOSPEL
AT ALL, LIKE YOU SAID.
00:01:13.999 --> 00:01:14.751
DR. BRIDGES: IT'S NOT.
00:01:14.751 --> 00:01:17.999
REBECCA: THE GOSPEL OF
THE LORD IS FOR REDEMPTION,
00:01:17.999 --> 00:01:20.918
IT'S FOR RECONCILIATION,
IT'S FOR FORGIVENESS.
00:01:20.918 --> 00:01:22.834
YOU JUST HAVE TO REPENT.
00:01:22.834 --> 00:01:24.292
AND GOD DOESN'T
MAKE IT DIFFICULT.
00:01:24.292 --> 00:01:25.999
HE DID THE DIFFICULT
PART FOR US.
00:01:25.999 --> 00:01:26.959
DR. BRIDGES:
THAT'S GOOD, COME ON.
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:28.999
REBECCA: AND THAT'S WHY
CANCEL CULTURE IS SO ANTI-GOD
00:01:28.999 --> 00:01:33.999
AND ANTI-GOSPEL BECAUSE IT'S NOT
MAKING A WAY FOR RESTORATION.
00:01:33.999 --> 00:01:34.584
DR. BRIDGES: EXACTLY.
00:01:34.584 --> 00:01:36.959
REBECCA: IT WANTS TO
SHUT PEOPLE DOWN ALTOGETHER.
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:37.999
AND YOU BROUGHT UP
SUCH A GOOD POINT.
00:01:37.999 --> 00:01:42.417
ALL OF US DESERVE TO BE CANCELED
BECAUSE WE'VE ALL MESSED UP.
00:01:42.417 --> 00:01:42.999
[ LAUGHING ]
00:01:42.999 --> 00:01:44.709
REBECCA: THAT'S WHAT BLEW MY
MIND WHEN ALL THESE PEOPLE
00:01:44.709 --> 00:01:47.042
WERE SO WILLING TO
JUST CONDEMN PEOPLE
00:01:47.042 --> 00:01:47.834
AND CALL
THEM GUILTY.
00:01:47.834 --> 00:01:49.999
I SAID, IF YOUR LIFE WAS
PUT UP BEFORE THE WORLD,
00:01:49.999 --> 00:01:52.125
I'M SURE THERE'S SOMETHING
THATYOU'VEDONE.
00:01:52.125 --> 00:01:52.999
DR. BRIDGES:
NOT JUST THAT,
00:01:52.999 --> 00:01:58.999
BUT THESE PEOPLE ARE
THE MOST GUILTY OF ALL.
00:01:58.999 --> 00:02:00.999
THAT'S THE
IRONY OF IT ALL.
00:02:00.999 --> 00:02:01.375
REBECCA: I KNOW.
00:02:01.375 --> 00:02:03.501
DR. BRIDGES: I THINK
ABOUT THE STORY OF JESUS
00:02:03.501 --> 00:02:04.542
AND THE WOMAN
CAUGHT IN ADULTERY.
00:02:04.542 --> 00:02:06.999
I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT
THIS MAYBE IN A WAY
00:02:06.999 --> 00:02:07.999
YOU'VE NEVER THOUGHT
ABOUT IT BEFORE.
00:02:07.999 --> 00:02:11.542
SO THE PHARISEES AND
RELIGIOUS LEADERS COME TO HIM
00:02:11.542 --> 00:02:13.999
WITH STONES IN THEIR
HAND AND SAYS MOSES SAYS
00:02:13.999 --> 00:02:14.959
THIS WOMAN OUGHT
TO BE STONED.
00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:18.751
SHE WAS CAUGHT IN THE ACT --
I WANT TO PUT EMPHASIS ON THAT.
00:02:18.751 --> 00:02:20.626
SHE WAS CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
00:02:20.626 --> 00:02:22.125
AND THE LAST TIME
I CHECKED,
00:02:22.125 --> 00:02:24.459
IT TAKES TWO TO
TANGO, RIGHT.
00:02:24.459 --> 00:02:26.626
SO SHE WAS CAUGHT
IN THE ACT.
00:02:26.626 --> 00:02:28.709
AND THE BIBLE SAYS
THAT THEY SAID,
00:02:28.709 --> 00:02:29.999
THIS ONE OUGHT
TO BE STONED.
00:02:29.999 --> 00:02:30.918
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
00:02:30.918 --> 00:02:31.584
AND JESUS DIDN'T
ANSWER THEM.
00:02:31.584 --> 00:02:35.459
HE SAID, LET HE THAT IS WITHOUT
SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE.
00:02:35.459 --> 00:02:38.918
AND OF COURSE, THEY DROPPED
THE STONES AND THEY LEFT.
00:02:38.918 --> 00:02:40.459
AND SHE SAYS, LORD.
00:02:40.459 --> 00:02:41.751
HE SAYS,
WHERE ARE YOUR ACCUSERS?
00:02:41.751 --> 00:02:43.501
AND HE SAYS,
NEITHER DO I ACCUSE YOU.
00:02:43.501 --> 00:02:45.959
BUT LET ME SHOW YOU
ONE LITTLE ELEMENT
00:02:45.959 --> 00:02:47.334
THAT WE
DON'T THINK ABOUT.
00:02:47.334 --> 00:02:48.959
WHERE WAS THE MAN?
00:02:50.792 --> 00:02:53.292
IF THEY WERE
CAUGHT IN THE ACT,
00:02:53.292 --> 00:02:57.334
WHERE WAS THE MAN WHO
COMMITTED ADULTERY?
00:02:57.334 --> 00:02:59.000
THEY JUST BROUGHT
THE WOMAN OUT.
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:04.999
COULD IT BE POSSIBLE THAT
HE WAS HOLDING A STONE?
00:03:04.999 --> 00:03:06.792
REBECCA: OH, WOW.
00:03:06.792 --> 00:03:09.209
DR. BRIDGES: THAT'S
CANCEL CULTURE.
00:03:09.209 --> 00:03:15.209
SOME OF THE MOST GUILTY OF
OUR NUMBERS ARE THE ONES
00:03:15.209 --> 00:03:18.417
LEADING THE CHARGE
FOR THE CANCEL CULTURE
00:03:18.417 --> 00:03:23.417
BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO
RID THE RESISTANCE
00:03:23.417 --> 00:03:26.250
TO WHAT THEY
REALLY DESIRE TO DO.
00:03:26.250 --> 00:03:27.999
AND THAT'S WHY --
00:03:27.999 --> 00:03:28.584
REBECCA: OH, WOW.
00:03:28.584 --> 00:03:30.918
DR. BRIDGES: -- THE CHURCH
HAS TO REALLY BE CAREFUL.
00:03:30.918 --> 00:03:35.999
SEE, THE CHURCH IS
PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO THIS
00:03:35.999 --> 00:03:39.000
BECAUSE WE'RE ABOUT
LOVE AND WE'RE ABOUT JUSTICE
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.626
AND WE'RE ABOUT HELPING
THE POOR, THE DOWNTRODDEN.
00:03:43.626 --> 00:03:48.999
SO OUR KNEE-JERK REACTION
IS TO ALIGN WITH MOVEMENTS.
00:03:48.999 --> 00:03:49.999
OH, BLACK LIVES MATTER.
00:03:49.999 --> 00:03:51.042
OKAY, LET'S GO WITH THAT.
00:03:51.042 --> 00:03:56.876
AND ANYBODY THAT SAYS, SO
ANYBODY WHO SAYS ANYTHING
00:03:56.876 --> 00:04:01.292
THAT'S RACIST, RIGHT,
WE HAVE TO DESTROY THAT PERSON,
00:04:01.292 --> 00:04:03.667
REMOVE THEM FROM
THE EQUATION, RIGHT.
00:04:03.667 --> 00:04:09.834
BUT THE PROBLEM WITH IT
IS THIS: WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE
00:04:09.834 --> 00:04:10.999
WHO ARE
LEADING THIS CHARGE?
00:04:10.999 --> 00:04:14.083
THE RAPPERS,
THE ENTERTAINERS,
00:04:14.083 --> 00:04:20.999
WHO USED ALL KINDS OF
EPITAPHS IN THEIR MUSIC?
00:04:20.999 --> 00:04:23.751
YOU HAVE RAPPERS WHO WILL
GET GRAMMY'S FOR MAKING SONGS
00:04:23.751 --> 00:04:27.167
ABOUT WOMEN THAT ARE
DEGRADING AND MISOGYNISTIC
00:04:27.167 --> 00:04:30.667
GETTING UP AND SAYING, WE
NEED TO STAND FOR #METOO.
00:04:30.667 --> 00:04:31.999
IT'S CRAZY.
00:04:31.999 --> 00:04:32.626
REBECCA: I KNOW.
00:04:32.626 --> 00:04:34.459
DR. BRIDGES:
IT'S INSANE.
00:04:34.459 --> 00:04:35.501
IT'S A HOT MESS.
00:04:35.501 --> 00:04:39.876
AND SOMEBODY HAS TO SAY,
THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
00:04:39.876 --> 00:04:42.999
SO WE, AS A CHURCH, I FEEL LIKE
WE HAVE TO AT SOME POINT SAY,
00:04:42.999 --> 00:04:44.751
OKAY, NO, WE'RE
NOT GOING TO GO FOR THIS.
00:04:44.751 --> 00:04:47.167
REBECCA: SEE, IT'S SO
INTERESTING THAT YOU SAID THAT,
00:04:47.167 --> 00:04:48.751
BECAUSE I'VE BEEN
THINKING ABOUT THIS
00:04:48.751 --> 00:04:53.959
FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR
HOW THE WORLD IS PREYING ON
00:04:53.959 --> 00:05:00.667
GOOD CHRISTIANS' REAL
KIND HEARTS AND GOODNESS,
00:05:00.667 --> 00:05:03.083
AND THEY'RE TAKING THAT
BUT THEY'RE --
00:05:03.083 --> 00:05:04.667
BECAUSE CHRISTIANS ARE
WANT TO BE SUPPORTIVE,
00:05:04.667 --> 00:05:05.834
THEY WANT TO DO
THE RIGHT THING,
00:05:05.834 --> 00:05:07.375
BUT THEY DON'T REALIZE
THAT THEY'RE EXTORTING IT
00:05:07.375 --> 00:05:09.999
FOR AN AGENDA THAT'S
EVIL AND ANTI-GOD.
00:05:09.999 --> 00:05:10.584
DR. BRIDGES: EXACTLY.
00:05:10.584 --> 00:05:12.999
REBECCA: AND THAT'S
THE DECEPTION BEHIND IT.
00:05:12.999 --> 00:05:15.751
IT'S NOT THAT WE DON'T
WANT TRUTH AND JUSTICE
00:05:15.751 --> 00:05:18.042
AND WE WANT TO HELP
THOSE THAT ARE HURTING.
00:05:18.042 --> 00:05:19.209
WE WANT ALL OF
THOSE THINGS.
00:05:19.209 --> 00:05:21.584
BUT WE WANT TO
DO IT GOD'S WAY.
00:05:21.584 --> 00:05:22.125
DR. BRIDGES: EXACTLY.
00:05:22.125 --> 00:05:24.375
REBECCA: AND WE DON'T
WANT TO SPREAD A KINGDOM
00:05:24.375 --> 00:05:25.209
THAT'S ANTI-GOD.
00:05:25.209 --> 00:05:30.542
YOU KNOW WHAT'S INTERESTING IS
THAT A FEW MONTHS AGO,
00:05:30.542 --> 00:05:32.999
I GO TO A
REALLY GREAT CHURCH,
00:05:32.999 --> 00:05:33.959
AND THEY DID THIS
THING WHERE THEY SAID,
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:37.876
THIS WEEK, WE'RE GOING TO
ASK YOU GUYS TO PRAY FOR THE --
00:05:37.876 --> 00:05:39.999
WALK AROUND YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
AND PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE
00:05:39.999 --> 00:05:41.167
IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
00:05:41.167 --> 00:05:43.542
AND I ALWAYS LIKE TO
ALWAYS BE IN ALIGNMENT
00:05:43.542 --> 00:05:45.834
WITH MY CHURCH AND I
BELIEVE IN LOCAL CHURCH
00:05:45.834 --> 00:05:48.334
AND SUBMITTING TO AUTHORITY
AND ALL OF THAT.
00:05:48.334 --> 00:05:50.501
AND SO I WAS LIKE, I
WAS ACTUALLY DRIVING.
00:05:50.501 --> 00:05:53.000
I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD
AND HE WAS IN THE BACK,
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:54.417
AND I WAS LIKE,
YOU KNOW WHAT,
00:05:54.417 --> 00:05:56.709
I WAS HAVING A --
I WAS WORSHIPING,
00:05:56.709 --> 00:05:57.417
AND I WAS LIKE,
YOU KNOW WHAT,
00:05:57.417 --> 00:06:00.167
I'M GOING TO PRAY AND
DRIVE AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
00:06:00.167 --> 00:06:02.292
I ENDED UP BEING
IN THE SPIRIT.
00:06:02.292 --> 00:06:03.959
I DON'T KNOW HOW THE
BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN IT,
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.042
BUT WHAT WAS INTERESTING
IS AS I SAW THE BACK OF
00:06:06.042 --> 00:06:10.709
SOMEONE'S CAR AND I SAW
-- I DON'T EVEN SEE
00:06:10.709 --> 00:06:14.667
WHAT POLITICIAN IT WAS
OR WHAT CAMPAIGN IT WAS,
00:06:14.667 --> 00:06:17.667
BUT IT WAS SOMETHING
ABOUT ELECT THIS PERSON.
00:06:17.667 --> 00:06:20.042
THIS PERSON'S GOING
TO FIX OUR ISSUES.
00:06:20.042 --> 00:06:22.999
AND THAT'S ALWAYS WHATEVER
PARTY OR WHATEVER CAUSE,
00:06:22.999 --> 00:06:24.918
THAT'S ALWAYS
THE PLATFORM.
00:06:24.918 --> 00:06:26.375
AND GOD SPOKE TO
ME AND HE SAID,
00:06:26.375 --> 00:06:30.999
PEOPLE WANT TO TURN TO
SOMEONE TO SOLVE THEIR ISSUES,
00:06:30.999 --> 00:06:33.999
AND YET THAT PERSON WON'T EVEN
ACKNOWLEDGE ME.
00:06:33.999 --> 00:06:35.459
DR. BRIDGES: WOW.
00:06:35.459 --> 00:06:37.584
REBECCA: AND I WAS JUST
LIKE, OH, MY GOODNESS,
00:06:37.584 --> 00:06:41.584
IT'S SO RIGHT, IT'S LIKE,
WHY DO WE KEEP LOOKING TO PEOPLE
00:06:41.584 --> 00:06:43.167
WHO DON'T EVEN
ACKNOWLEDGE GOD
00:06:43.167 --> 00:06:46.999
OR ANTI-GOD TO TRY TO FIX
THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS?
00:06:46.999 --> 00:06:49.834
THE WORLD'S -- WHERE DO
THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS COME FROM?
00:06:49.834 --> 00:06:50.292
DR. BRIDGES: YEP.
00:06:50.292 --> 00:06:51.375
REBECCA: THEY
COME FROM SIN,
00:06:51.375 --> 00:06:54.042
FROM THE FALLEN MEN AND
FROM THE DEVIL AND HIS DEMONS
00:06:54.042 --> 00:06:55.959
WORKING IN THE WORLD.
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:57.876
SO WHY IS WE,
AS THE CHURCH,
00:06:57.876 --> 00:07:00.209
ARE TRYING TO PARTNER UP
WITH THESE PEOPLE
00:07:00.209 --> 00:07:02.876
AND COME IN ALIGNMENT WITH THEM,
AND IT'S BECAUSE WE DON'T SEE
00:07:02.876 --> 00:07:06.250
THE DECEPTION BEHIND IT
BECAUSE THEY COME AS A GOOD.
00:07:06.250 --> 00:07:08.083
JUST LIKE THE SNAKE
IN THE GARDEN.
00:07:08.083 --> 00:07:08.918
DR. BRIDGES: EXACTLY.
00:07:08.918 --> 00:07:12.167
REBECCA: HE SEEMS GOOD, HE
SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A GOOD THING
00:07:12.167 --> 00:07:13.542
WHEN REALLY
IT'S DIABOLICAL.
00:07:13.542 --> 00:07:14.999
DR. BRIDGES:
VERY DIABOLICAL.
00:07:14.999 --> 00:07:16.876
IT SAYS IN THE
BOOK OF ISAIAH,
00:07:16.876 --> 00:07:19.792
WOE TO THEM WHO CALL
GOOD EVIL, AND EVIL GOOD;
00:07:19.792 --> 00:07:22.209
WHO MISTAKE
LIGHT FOR DARKNESS,
00:07:22.209 --> 00:07:23.209
AND DARKNESS FOR LIGHT.
00:07:23.209 --> 00:07:28.999
THE GREAT DECEPTION OF
THE END TIMES IS NOT EVIL.
00:07:28.999 --> 00:07:29.999
REBECCA: YEAH.
00:07:29.999 --> 00:07:31.999
DR. BRIDGES: THE GREAT DECEPTION
IS NOT EVIL.
00:07:31.999 --> 00:07:35.250
THE GREAT DECEPTION
IS GOOD WITHOUT GOD.
00:07:35.250 --> 00:07:36.167
REBECCA: YES.
00:07:36.167 --> 00:07:38.083
DR. BRIDGES: THAT IS
THE DECEPTION OF THIS AGE,
00:07:38.083 --> 00:07:44.375
THAT WE CAN ACHIEVE SOME SORT OF
RELATIVE GOOD APART FROM GOD.
00:07:44.375 --> 00:07:47.375
GOING BACK TO THE
#METOO EXAMPLE.
00:07:47.375 --> 00:07:48.999
REBECCA: AND
THAT'S HUMANISM.
00:07:48.999 --> 00:07:52.751
DR. BRIDGES: IT IS
SECULAR HUMANISM.
00:07:52.751 --> 00:07:54.751
I GREW UP IN
ATLANTA, GEORGIA,
00:07:54.751 --> 00:07:57.709
WENT TO A HISTORICALLY
BLACK COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY
00:07:57.709 --> 00:07:58.999
AND ALL OF THAT.
00:07:58.999 --> 00:08:00.999
I'VE DONE
CIVIL RIGHTS TOURS
00:08:00.999 --> 00:08:06.083
WITH THE ACTUAL CIVIL RIGHTS
LEADERS: DR. JOSEPH LOWERY,
00:08:06.083 --> 00:08:08.999
REVERAND JAMES ORANGE,
AND JOHN LEWIS.
00:08:08.999 --> 00:08:11.250
I'VE MARCHED
WITH THESE GUYS.
00:08:11.250 --> 00:08:12.459
AND SO I UNDERSTAND THAT
I WAS A PART
00:08:12.459 --> 00:08:15.834
OF THE UNITED NEGRO COLLEGE
FOR IT AND THE NAACP,
00:08:15.834 --> 00:08:19.667
ALL THESE DIFFERENT INITIATIVES
THAT I WAS APART OF.
00:08:19.667 --> 00:08:26.167
AND WHAT I BEGAN TO
SEE WAS THE DECEPTION.
00:08:26.167 --> 00:08:26.999
REBECCA: MM-HM.
00:08:26.999 --> 00:08:27.709
DR. BRIDGES: I BEGAN TO SEE
00:08:27.709 --> 00:08:33.209
THAT RACE BECAME MORE
IMPORTANT THAN RELATIONSHIP.
00:08:33.209 --> 00:08:40.000
I BEGAN TO SEE THAT THE MELANIN
IN MY SKIN HAD BECOME A GOD.
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.584
OR THE LACK THEREOF.
00:08:42.584 --> 00:08:43.999
AND GOD BEGAN
TO DEAL WITH ME,
00:08:43.999 --> 00:08:46.292
AND I THINK YOU KNOW THE
VIDEO I DID CALLED
00:08:46.292 --> 00:08:47.542
"THE DAY I
STOPPED BEING 'BLACK'",
00:08:47.542 --> 00:08:52.959
AND PEOPLE WERE INFLAMED BY IT,
BUT IT WAS A JOURNEY
00:08:52.959 --> 00:08:56.542
OF BREAKING FREE FROM
THE SYSTEM OF CONTROL.
00:08:56.542 --> 00:08:57.999
BECAUSE LET ME
SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
00:08:57.999 --> 00:08:59.834
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
CANCEL CULTURE.
00:08:59.834 --> 00:09:03.959
IF MY IDENTITY IS IN
THE MELANIN IN MY SKIN,
00:09:03.959 --> 00:09:09.209
ANYTIME THERE'S A CAUSE,
I WILL ALIGN WITH THE MELANIN.
00:09:09.209 --> 00:09:09.834
REBECCA: YEP.
00:09:09.834 --> 00:09:13.584
DR. BRIDGES: REGARDLESS
OF WHETHER OR NOT THAT CAUSE
00:09:13.584 --> 00:09:16.167
ALIGNS WITH GOD.
00:09:16.167 --> 00:09:16.999
AND THAT'S WHAT --
00:09:16.999 --> 00:09:17.792
REBECCA: AND
THAT'S BONDAGE.
00:09:17.792 --> 00:09:19.334
DR. BRIDGES: THAT'S
BONDAGE AND DECEPTION,
00:09:19.334 --> 00:09:24.542
AND THAT'S WHAT'S
HAPPENING TODAY.
00:09:24.542 --> 00:09:25.834
PEOPLE, IT'S AMAZING.
00:09:25.834 --> 00:09:28.501
YOU'LL HAVE A -- I SAW
SOMEBODY GET UP THERE
00:09:28.501 --> 00:09:31.167
AND THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT,
I JUST WON'T STAND
00:09:31.167 --> 00:09:37.999
FOR THE MISTREATMENT OF WOMEN,
AND THEIR SONG THAT THEY GOT
00:09:37.999 --> 00:09:39.999
A GRAMMY FOR WAS A SONG
00:09:39.999 --> 00:09:45.626
ABOUT BASICALLY THE
OBJECTIFICATION OF WOMEN.
00:09:45.626 --> 00:09:48.999
SO ON THE ONE HAND,
YOU ARE BEING ENRICHED
00:09:48.999 --> 00:09:52.375
BY THE ENSLAVEMENT
OBJECTIFICATION OF WOMEN,
00:09:52.375 --> 00:09:53.999
THE BONDAGE AND
ABUSE OF WOMEN.
00:09:53.999 --> 00:09:57.250
ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU'RE
USING THAT SAME INFLUENCE
00:09:57.250 --> 00:09:58.999
TO BE A VOICE
IN THE CULTURE.
00:09:58.999 --> 00:10:04.501
THIS IS TOTAL IDIOCY AND
IT'S TOTAL FOOLISHNESS.
00:10:04.501 --> 00:10:08.667
AND YET, GOD MUST
INTERVENE IN THE CHURCH
00:10:08.667 --> 00:10:13.999
SO THAT WE CAN REALIZE THAT
WE CANNOT LEND OUR VOICE
00:10:13.999 --> 00:10:15.542
TO EVERY CAUSE.
00:10:15.542 --> 00:10:17.626
WE HAVE TO
EXAMINE THE CAUSE.
00:10:17.626 --> 00:10:21.501
THE BIBLE SAYS IN
I JOHN 4, IT SAYS,
00:10:21.501 --> 00:10:25.000
BELIEVE NOT EVERY SPIRIT,
BUT TRY THE SPIRITS
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:26.375
WHETHER THEY BE OF GOD.
00:10:26.375 --> 00:10:26.999
REBECCA: YEAH.
00:10:26.999 --> 00:10:30.417
DR. BRIDGES: WE CAN'T JUST
IMMEDIATELY ALIGN OURSELVES
00:10:30.417 --> 00:10:31.834
WITH ANY AGENDA.
00:10:31.834 --> 00:10:32.334
REBECCA: MM-HM.
00:10:32.334 --> 00:10:33.999
DR. BRIDGES: AND THE CHURCH
IS BEING PIMPED.
00:10:33.999 --> 00:10:36.999
I HATE TO SAY THAT ON YOUR
PODCAST, LORD HAVE MERCY.
00:10:36.999 --> 00:10:37.751
REBECCA: BUT IT'S TRUE.
00:10:37.751 --> 00:10:41.999
DR. BRIDGES: THE CHURCH IS BEING
PROSTITUTED FOR OUR GOODNESS
00:10:41.999 --> 00:10:44.083
AND OUR HEARTS
AND OUR LUCKY CHARMS
00:10:44.083 --> 00:10:48.125
AND ALL OF THAT, AND LET'S
EVERYBODY JUST SING "KUMBAYA"
00:10:48.125 --> 00:10:50.125
AND ACT LIKE
YOU DON'T SEE ANYTHING.
00:10:50.125 --> 00:10:52.000
THAT'S NOT THE CHURCH.
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.709
THE CHURCH IS THE PILLAR
AND GROUND OF THE TRUTH.
00:10:54.709 --> 00:10:56.501
THE CHURCH IS THE
ONE THAT SAYS,
00:10:56.501 --> 00:10:58.999
THAT GOING ON IN
GOVERNMENT, IT'S EVIL.
00:10:58.999 --> 00:11:00.584
THE CHURCH IS THE
ONE THAT SAYS, NO,
00:11:00.584 --> 00:11:02.292
MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN
A MAN AND A WOMAN.
00:11:02.292 --> 00:11:04.042
THE CHURCH IS THE ONE
THAT SAYS, NO, NO,
00:11:04.042 --> 00:11:07.876
I LOVE BLACK FOLKS, BUT I
DON'T LOVE THIS AGENDA.
00:11:07.876 --> 00:11:08.250
REBECCA: MM-HM.
00:11:08.250 --> 00:11:09.792
DR. BRIDGES: AND I
THINK THAT'S WHERE WE NEED
00:11:09.792 --> 00:11:11.999
TO UNMUZZLE THE CHURCH.
00:11:11.999 --> 00:11:13.334
CHURCH HAS BEEN MUZZLED.
00:11:13.334 --> 00:11:15.000
AND THE CHURCH HAS BEEN
PUSHED INTO A CORNER
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.250
WHERE WE CAN'T SAY ANYTHING,
AND IF YOU SAY ANYTHING,
00:11:18.250 --> 00:11:19.626
YOU'RE HATING SOMEBODY.
00:11:19.626 --> 00:11:22.292
NO, I DON'T HATE YOU,
I JUST DISAGREE WITH YOU.
00:11:22.292 --> 00:11:24.209
BUT THAT IS THE
SPIRIT OF THIS AGE
00:11:24.209 --> 00:11:32.709
WHERE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT
THE NARRATIVE BECOMES A GROUNDS
00:11:32.709 --> 00:11:34.292
FOR YOU
TO BE PUNISHED.
00:11:34.292 --> 00:11:35.751
YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M
GOING TO PUNISH YOU
00:11:35.751 --> 00:11:37.999
BECAUSE YOU
DON'T AGREE WITH ME.
00:11:37.999 --> 00:11:40.083
SO I THINK WE NEED TO
FIGHT AGAINST THIS.
00:11:40.083 --> 00:11:40.999
REBECCA: OH,
A HUNDRED PERCENT.
00:11:40.999 --> 00:11:43.209
AND THAT WAS THE DECEPTION
BEHIND IT IS IT STARTED OFF
00:11:43.209 --> 00:11:46.792
AS SEEMINGLY GOOD, BUT REALLY
IT'S TRYING TO SILENCE
00:11:46.792 --> 00:11:47.417
THE CHURCH ALTOGETHER.
00:11:47.417 --> 00:11:48.250
DR. BRIDGES: OF COURSE.
OF COURSE.
00:11:48.250 --> 00:11:52.501
REBECCA: BECAUSE THE
POWER IS IN OUR VOICE.
00:11:52.501 --> 00:11:54.042
AND IT'S HIS MESSAGE.
00:11:54.042 --> 00:11:55.834
WHAT'S INTERESTING
IS SOMEONE SAID,
00:11:55.834 --> 00:11:56.999
I DON'T EVEN, I THINK
IT WAS JONATHAN CAHN,
00:11:56.999 --> 00:12:02.250
HE WAS JUST HERE, HE SAID,
IF YOU ALLOW CANCEL CULTURE
00:12:02.250 --> 00:12:05.667
TO INTIMIDATE YOU,
YOU'LL CANCEL YOURSELF.
00:12:05.667 --> 00:12:07.417
DR. BRIDGES: WOW.
00:12:07.417 --> 00:12:08.999
REBECCA: BECAUSE YOU
WON'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING.
00:12:08.999 --> 00:12:09.999
DR. BRIDGES: WOW.
00:12:09.999 --> 00:12:12.459
REBECCA:
HOW MINDBLOWING IS THAT?
00:12:12.459 --> 00:12:16.209
AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT OFF-CAMERA
00:12:16.209 --> 00:12:17.501
ON ANOTHER SHOW,
ACTUALLY, WAS,
00:12:17.501 --> 00:12:19.792
I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE
DAY AND AGE THAT I FEEL LIKE
00:12:19.792 --> 00:12:26.999
WE'RE IN IS SIMILAR TO THE DAYS
OF ELIJAH WHEN HE FACED JEZEBEL.
00:12:26.999 --> 00:12:30.083
AND IT WAS A TIME WHEN
BAAL WORSHIP WAS OVERTAKING
00:12:30.083 --> 00:12:36.334
THE NATION OF ISRAEL
AND SHE WAS SO INTIMIDATING.
00:12:36.334 --> 00:12:39.959
REALLY SCARY.
00:12:39.959 --> 00:12:40.209
NO ONE.
00:12:40.209 --> 00:12:42.167
AND ELIJAH HAD
A DECISION HE HAD TO MAKE:
00:12:42.167 --> 00:12:45.999
WAS HE GOING TO STAND UP
AGAINST HER OR WAS HE GOING TO
00:12:45.999 --> 00:12:49.834
COWER AWAY IN FEAR BUT IT
WOULD AFFECT THE NATION?
00:12:49.834 --> 00:12:52.209
AND I FEEL LIKE THE CHURCH
IS IN A POSITION NOW
00:12:52.209 --> 00:12:55.999
WHERE I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE
HAVE TRIED TO AVOID
00:12:55.999 --> 00:12:56.999
TALKING ABOUT
CERTAIN THINGS,
00:12:56.999 --> 00:12:57.999
BUT I THINK WE'RE
COMING TO A PLACE
00:12:57.999 --> 00:13:01.709
WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING
00:13:01.709 --> 00:13:02.999
OR NOT SAY
ANYTHING AT ALL.
00:13:02.999 --> 00:13:09.459
BUT IF YOU DO STAND UP AND
TRUST GOD AND SPEAK HIS TRUTH,
00:13:09.459 --> 00:13:10.959
HE WILL
BE FAITHFUL.
00:13:10.959 --> 00:13:11.667
DR. BRIDGES:
I BELIEVE SO.
00:13:11.667 --> 00:13:16.042
I BELIEVE WE'RE IN THE AGE OF
SHADRAHC, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO.
00:13:16.042 --> 00:13:16.834
REBECCA: YES, ME TOO.
00:13:16.834 --> 00:13:17.417
DR. BRIDGES: YEAH.
00:13:17.417 --> 00:13:17.999
I BELIEVE THAT --
00:13:17.999 --> 00:13:20.501
REBECCA: BECAUSE OUR WORLD
IS A LOT LIKE BABYLON NOW.
00:13:20.501 --> 00:13:22.999
DR. BRIDGES: THIS IS
VERY BABYLONIAN, THE SYSTEM.
00:13:22.999 --> 00:13:23.584
REBECCA: VERY PAGAN.
00:13:23.584 --> 00:13:24.501
DR. BRIDGES:
VERY PAGAN.
00:13:24.501 --> 00:13:25.626
REBECCA:
WORSHIPING THE DEVIL.
00:13:25.626 --> 00:13:26.083
DR. BRIDGES: YEP.
00:13:26.083 --> 00:13:27.999
AND IF YOU DON'T
WORSHIP THIS IMAGE,
00:13:27.999 --> 00:13:31.542
IF YOU DON'T BOW, YOU'RE GOING
TO BE THROWN INTO THE FIRE.
00:13:31.542 --> 00:13:33.042
THAT'S CANCEL CULTURE.
00:13:33.042 --> 00:13:37.626
EITHER BOW OR DIE.
00:13:37.626 --> 00:13:39.876
BUT HERE'S THE BEAUTY THAT
I TELL PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.
00:13:39.876 --> 00:13:43.542
I DIED IN 1996 WHEN I GOT
BORN AGAIN AND FILLED
00:13:43.542 --> 00:13:44.999
WITH THE HOLY GHOST.
00:13:44.999 --> 00:13:47.083
SO I'M ONE OF
THOSE PREACHERS.
00:13:47.083 --> 00:13:50.083
MY SECURITY STAFF OF THE
CHURCHES SAID, PASTOR,
00:13:50.083 --> 00:13:51.375
CAN YOU PLEASE STOP?
00:13:51.375 --> 00:13:51.999
[ LAUGHING ]
00:13:51.999 --> 00:13:52.834
DR. BRIDGES:
THAT'S REALLY MEAN.
00:13:52.834 --> 00:13:54.626
THEY SAID, YOU'RE TELLING
PEOPLE TO BRING IT ON.
00:13:54.626 --> 00:13:55.459
COME ON OVER HERE.
00:13:55.459 --> 00:13:56.999
AND THEY SAID
THEY'RE COMING.
00:13:56.999 --> 00:13:59.209
[ LAUGHING ]
00:13:59.209 --> 00:14:00.375
DR. BRIDGES:
IT'S SO FUNNY.
00:14:00.375 --> 00:14:01.292
BUT I MEAN IT, THOUGH.
00:14:01.292 --> 00:14:02.751
I'M LIKE, COME ON.
00:14:02.751 --> 00:14:04.999
I'M NOT -- I'VE
HAD DEATH THREATS,
00:14:04.999 --> 00:14:07.834
PEOPLE CALLING -- THEY'LL
SEND MESSAGES THAT SAYS,
00:14:07.834 --> 00:14:10.792
YOU NEED TO DIE,
SOMEBODY OUGHT TO MURDER YOU.
00:14:10.792 --> 00:14:12.999
AND I'M TRYING TO GET
DELIVERED ALL THE WAY
00:14:12.999 --> 00:14:14.999
BECAUSE THERE'S A PART
OF SOUTHWEST ATLANTA,
00:14:14.999 --> 00:14:17.876
IT'S STILL DOWN IN THERE,
AND I'LL SAY, COME ON,
00:14:17.876 --> 00:14:18.999
BRING IT ON, THEN.
00:14:18.999 --> 00:14:19.459
COME ON.
00:14:19.459 --> 00:14:20.999
I'M AT THIS ADDRESS.
00:14:20.999 --> 00:14:22.083
LORD DELIVER ME.
00:14:22.083 --> 00:14:22.834
PRAY FOR ME.
00:14:22.834 --> 00:14:25.042
BUT WE GOT TO STAND, MAN.
00:14:25.042 --> 00:14:27.250
I'M TIRED OF
BEING BULLIED.
00:14:27.250 --> 00:14:27.999
I'VE BEEN BULLIED.
00:14:27.999 --> 00:14:29.459
I USED TO BE
BULLIED AS A KID,
00:14:29.459 --> 00:14:30.999
AND THAT'S HOW I
STARTED FIGHTING.
00:14:30.999 --> 00:14:33.042
I SAID, THE THING
ABOUT A BULLY IS,
00:14:33.042 --> 00:14:41.042
IF YOU GIVE THEM YOUR DAY,
HE'LL TAKE YOUR YEAR.
00:14:41.042 --> 00:14:41.667
REBECCA: MM.
00:14:41.667 --> 00:14:42.999
DR. BRIDGES:
THAT'S HOW IT WORKS.
00:14:42.999 --> 00:14:47.918
IF YOU GIVE THE DEVIL YOUR
DAY, HE'LL TAKE YOUR YEAR.
00:14:47.918 --> 00:14:51.334
IF WE GIVE
THE DEVIL THIS YEAR,
00:14:51.334 --> 00:14:53.292
HE'LL TAKE OUR DECADE.
00:14:53.292 --> 00:14:54.792
THAT'S HOW THE ENEMY IS.
00:14:54.792 --> 00:14:55.167
REBECCA: YEAH.
00:14:55.167 --> 00:14:56.876
DR. BRIDGES: AND
SO WE HAVE TO SAY,
00:14:56.876 --> 00:14:59.083
HERE IS THE LINE
IN THE SAND.
00:14:59.083 --> 00:15:01.999
I'M NOT MOVING,
I'M NOT BUDGING.
00:15:01.999 --> 00:15:03.999
THROW ME IN THE
FIRE IF YOU WANT,
00:15:03.999 --> 00:15:06.501
BUT GOD WILL
DELIVER ME, YEAH.
00:15:06.501 --> 00:15:07.542
REBECCA: YOU KNOW
WHAT I WAS THINKING
00:15:07.542 --> 00:15:09.542
IS I HAD THIS
EXPERIENCE WITH THE LORD
00:15:09.542 --> 00:15:12.375
WHILE I WAS ONCE AGAIN
PRAYING IN MY CAR,
00:15:12.375 --> 00:15:13.667
THERE'S A LOT OF TIMES
00:15:13.667 --> 00:15:15.375
WHERE I ENCOUNTER
GOD'S PRESENCE.
00:15:15.375 --> 00:15:17.292
AND WHAT WAS INTERESTING
IS I WAS DRIVING,
00:15:17.292 --> 00:15:19.250
I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD,
I WAS ALMOST HOME,
00:15:19.250 --> 00:15:22.501
AND I HAD A VISION, AND IT
WAS OF THESE ASIAN PEOPLE,
00:15:22.501 --> 00:15:24.459
I'M PRETTY SURE
THEY WERE CHINESE,
00:15:24.459 --> 00:15:25.999
AND THEY WERE
WORSHIPING GOD.
00:15:25.999 --> 00:15:29.083
AND THEIR FACES WERE
RADIATING -- OH,
00:15:29.083 --> 00:15:30.292
IT GETS ME
A LITTLE EMOTIONAL --
00:15:30.292 --> 00:15:33.167
THEY WERE RADIATING
THE GLORY OF GOD.
00:15:33.167 --> 00:15:35.792
BUT I KNEW THAT THEY WERE
PROBABLY GOING TO LOSE
00:15:35.792 --> 00:15:39.542
THEIR LIVES BECAUSE OF
WORSHIPING THE LORD.
00:15:39.542 --> 00:15:42.751
AND GOD SPOKE TO
ME AND HE SAID,
00:15:42.751 --> 00:15:44.999
HAVE YOU COUNT THE COST?
00:15:44.999 --> 00:15:48.999
AND THERE'S THIS
SCRIPTURE IN THE GOSPELS
00:15:48.999 --> 00:15:52.709
WHERE JESUS IS TELLING, HE SAYS,
LOOK, YOU CAN FOLLOW ME,
00:15:52.709 --> 00:15:54.459
AND THAT'S WHERE THAT
FAMOUS SCRIPTURE, HE SAYS,
00:15:54.459 --> 00:15:56.834
HATE YOUR BROTHER
OR YOUR SISTER, MOTHER.
00:15:56.834 --> 00:15:57.292
AND A LOT OF TIMES,
00:15:57.292 --> 00:15:57.999
PEOPLE CAN
MISINTERPRET IT.
00:15:57.999 --> 00:16:01.999
JESUS IS SIMPLY SAYING, YOU HAVE
TO PUT ME ABOVE ALL ELSE.
00:16:01.999 --> 00:16:05.999
AND HE SAYS, YOU HAVE TO COUNT
THE COST BEFORE FOLLOWING ME.
00:16:05.999 --> 00:16:08.083
AND HE SAYS, WHAT BUILDER
WOULD START A PROJECT
00:16:08.083 --> 00:16:10.250
AND NOT COUNT THE
COST OF MATERIALS?
00:16:10.250 --> 00:16:13.584
AND WHAT I REALIZED IS
BECAUSE I GREW UP IN AMERICA,
00:16:13.584 --> 00:16:16.000
I HAD NEVER BEEN
PERSECUTED FOR MY BELIEFS.
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:20.417
I HAD NEVER TRULY COUNTED
THE COSTS UNTO DEATH
00:16:20.417 --> 00:16:21.918
WHEREAS LIKE
THESE BELIEVERS,
00:16:21.918 --> 00:16:25.417
I WAS THINKING OF LIKE
THE UNDERGROUND CHURCH IN CHINA,
00:16:25.417 --> 00:16:28.250
THEY KNOW THAT IT COULD
COST THEM THEIR LIVES.
00:16:28.250 --> 00:16:28.959
DR. BRIDGES: YEAH.
00:16:28.959 --> 00:16:30.250
REBECCA: AND IN THAT
MOMENT, I TOLD THE LORD,
00:16:30.250 --> 00:16:32.375
I COUNTED THE COST,
AND I SAID, GOD,
00:16:32.375 --> 00:16:36.542
I WANT TO FOLLOW YOU,
NO MATTER WHAT IT COSTS.
00:16:36.542 --> 00:16:38.834
BUT I THINK WE'RE
COMING TO AN AGE
00:16:38.834 --> 00:16:42.626
WHERE WE REALLY HAVE TO COUNT
THE COSTS AND ASK OURSELVES,
00:16:42.626 --> 00:16:45.959
OR WHAT ARE WE WILLING
TO PAY TO FOLLOW CHRIST?
00:16:45.959 --> 00:16:47.999
ARE WE WILLING TO
PAY ANY -- EVERYTHING?
00:16:47.999 --> 00:16:51.042
AND I THINK WE'RE JUST
BEGINNING TO FEEL THE PUSHBACK.
00:16:51.042 --> 00:16:53.834
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
DIRECTION OUR NATION IS GOING,
00:16:53.834 --> 00:17:00.501
HONESTLY, IN TERMS OF ARE WE
GOING TO GO INTO MORE FREEDOM,
00:17:00.501 --> 00:17:03.542
ARE WE GOING TO GO
INTO MORE PERSECUTION?
00:17:03.542 --> 00:17:03.999
I DON'T KNOW.
00:17:03.999 --> 00:17:08.792
BUT WHAT I'M BELIEVING
FOR IS REVIVAL.
00:17:08.792 --> 00:17:11.209
AND THAT IS WHAT IS
SOMETHING I'M BELIEVING FOR
00:17:11.209 --> 00:17:13.042
WORLDWIDE REVIVAL, I
BELIEVE THERE'S GOING TO BE
00:17:13.042 --> 00:17:15.792
AN END TIME REVIVAL AT
THE LIKE GOD SPEAKS ABOUT IT,
00:17:15.792 --> 00:17:18.999
GOD HAS, I BELIEVE,
HAS SHOWN ME THESE THINGS.
00:17:18.999 --> 00:17:23.209
AND JUST A YEAR AGO,
MY FAST LAST YEAR,
00:17:23.209 --> 00:17:25.792
THAT WAS WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT
WANTED ME TO PRAY FOR.
00:17:25.792 --> 00:17:29.751
AND SO I'M BELIEVING IN
CONTENDING FOR THOSE THINGS.
00:17:29.751 --> 00:17:34.626
BUT I BELIEVE THAT AS GOING BACK
TO COUNTING THE COSTS,
00:17:34.626 --> 00:17:37.876
AS I'M BEGINNING TO SEE JUST
A LITTLE BIT OF PERSECUTION
00:17:37.876 --> 00:17:41.999
IN OUR NATION,
I THINK IT REALLY MAKES US BEGIN
00:17:41.999 --> 00:17:45.459
TO REALLY THINK,
AND IT REALLY TESTS US,
00:17:45.459 --> 00:17:47.999
ARE WE REALLY GOING TO
STAND UP FOR WHAT'S RIGHT?
00:17:47.999 --> 00:17:48.584
DR. BRIDGES: YEAH.
00:17:48.584 --> 00:17:49.542
REBECCA: BECAUSE
CHRISTIANITY IN AMERICA
00:17:49.542 --> 00:17:51.834
USED TO BE SOMETHING WHERE
YOU COULD GET INFLUENCE,
00:17:51.834 --> 00:17:56.834
YOU COULD GET MONEY, YOU
COULD GET POPULARITY.
00:17:56.834 --> 00:17:59.459
AND IF ALL OF THAT
IS TAKEN AWAY.
00:17:59.459 --> 00:18:01.792
AND NOW YOU
COULD GET JAILED,
00:18:01.792 --> 00:18:03.999
YOU COULD GET IN TROUBLE,
YOU COULD GET FINED,
00:18:03.999 --> 00:18:05.834
YOU COULD GET CANCELED.
00:18:05.834 --> 00:18:06.417
WOULD YOU STILL DO IT?
00:18:06.417 --> 00:18:10.999
I THINK THIS KIND OF TESTING IS
REALLY SIFTING THE CHURCH.
00:18:10.999 --> 00:18:14.751
BUT WHAT'S BEAUTIFUL IS I THINK
IT COULD SET US UP FOR REVIVAL.
00:18:14.751 --> 00:18:15.834
DR. BRIDGES: YEAH.
00:18:15.834 --> 00:18:16.375
I BELIEVE THAT.
00:18:16.375 --> 00:18:19.999
I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE GOING
INTO THE GREATEST SEASON
00:18:19.999 --> 00:18:22.667
OF AWAKENING THAT THE
CHURCH HAS EVER SEEN.
00:18:22.667 --> 00:18:24.999
I BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO BE
A BOOK OF ACTS MOMENT
00:18:24.999 --> 00:18:32.125
WHEN HEROD STRETCHED FORTH
HIS HANDS TO VEX THE CHURCH.
00:18:32.125 --> 00:18:33.999
AND HE KILLED JAMES.
00:18:33.999 --> 00:18:34.999
JAMES WAS A PILLAR.
00:18:34.999 --> 00:18:35.876
EVERYBODY ADMIRED HIM.
00:18:35.876 --> 00:18:37.876
HE WAS RESPECTED,
HE WAS INFLUENTIAL.
00:18:37.876 --> 00:18:44.667
AND HERE SOMEONE OF THE CHURCH
ADMIRED AND REVERED
00:18:44.667 --> 00:18:48.667
WAS TAKEN OUT, AND
THE DEVIL USED THAT
00:18:48.667 --> 00:18:50.999
TO TRY TO
DISCOURAGE THE CHURCH.
00:18:50.999 --> 00:18:51.584
REBECCA: YEAH.
00:18:51.584 --> 00:18:54.167
DR. BRIDGES: TO TRY TO
INTIMIDATE THE CHURCH.
00:18:54.167 --> 00:18:56.918
BUT THE OPPOSITE HAPPENED.
00:18:56.918 --> 00:18:58.999
THE CHURCH
BECAME MORE BOLD.
00:18:58.999 --> 00:19:00.417
THEY PRAYED MORE.
00:19:00.417 --> 00:19:00.999
[ LAUGHING ]
00:19:00.999 --> 00:19:01.999
DR. BRIDGES: AND IN
THAT CHAPTER, IT SAYS,
00:19:01.999 --> 00:19:05.792
AFTER AWHILE, IT SAYS, AND
SO MIGHTILY GREW THE WORD OF GOD
00:19:05.792 --> 00:19:06.792
AND PREVAILED.
00:19:06.792 --> 00:19:08.876
AND THE DISCIPLES
ACTUALLY MULTIPLY.
00:19:08.876 --> 00:19:14.167
SO PERSECUTION HAS ALWAYS
BEEN A NECESSARY COMPONENT
00:19:14.167 --> 00:19:15.834
TO SHAKE THE CHURCH.
00:19:15.834 --> 00:19:17.876
WE WEREN'T READY
FOR COVID-19.
00:19:17.876 --> 00:19:18.709
WE WEREN'T READY.
00:19:18.709 --> 00:19:21.334
THE CHURCH WAS
TOO COMFORTABLE.
00:19:21.334 --> 00:19:22.959
AND THIS SHOOK US.
00:19:22.959 --> 00:19:24.792
AND THERE'S MORE
SHAKING TO COME.
00:19:24.792 --> 00:19:25.375
REBECCA:
I THINK SO, TOO.
00:19:25.375 --> 00:19:27.709
DR. BRIDGES: BUT I
BELIEVE WITH ALL OF MY HEART
00:19:27.709 --> 00:19:30.999
THAT FOR THOSE WHO
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT,
00:19:30.999 --> 00:19:33.626
THOSE REMNANT WHO HAVE
COUNTED THE COSTS,
00:19:33.626 --> 00:19:36.125
I BELIEVE THEY'RE
GOING TO FLOURISH
00:19:36.125 --> 00:19:42.000
IN SOME OF THE MOST SEEMINGLY
DARK TIMES THAT WE'VE SEEN.
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.667
THIS IS THE HOUR
FOR THE CHURCH, SISTER REBECCA.
00:19:44.667 --> 00:19:48.459
I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS
THE HOUR FOR THE CHURCH.
00:19:48.459 --> 00:19:50.999
I BELIEVE THE CHURCH IS
GOING TO SHINE NOW
00:19:50.999 --> 00:19:53.083
MORE THAN WE'VE EVER
SHINED BEFORE,
00:19:53.083 --> 00:19:57.125
AND IT'S GOING TO BE
IN THE MIDST OF THE PANDEMONIUM.
00:19:57.125 --> 00:20:01.959
I'M TELLING PEOPLE, HEY, DON'T
WAIT UNTIL THE COAST CLEARS,
00:20:01.959 --> 00:20:06.459
IT'S TIME TO
MAKE OUR STAND NOW.
00:20:06.459 --> 00:20:06.999
REBECCA: YEAH.
00:20:06.999 --> 00:20:07.999
DR. BRIDGES:
OUR IMPRINT NOW.
00:20:07.999 --> 00:20:09.250
THEY NEED TO FILL US NOW.
00:20:09.250 --> 00:20:10.999
IT'S TIME FOR US TO SPEAK.
00:20:10.999 --> 00:20:14.167
IF THEY TAKE AWAY
YOUR 501(C)(3) STATUS,
00:20:14.167 --> 00:20:19.042
IF THEY TRY TO USE ALL OF THESE
RELIGIOUS THINGS AGAINST YOU.
00:20:19.042 --> 00:20:21.999
I SAW A RECENT ARTICLE,
THEY'RE COMPILING A LIST
00:20:21.999 --> 00:20:25.918
OF ANYONE THAT'S GIVEN
A RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION.
00:20:25.918 --> 00:20:27.999
THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
IS DOING THIS RIGHT NOW,
00:20:27.999 --> 00:20:29.375
THEY'RE COMPILING A LIST
00:20:29.375 --> 00:20:31.417
OF ANYBODY THAT'S GIVEN
A RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION
00:20:31.417 --> 00:20:35.999
AND THEY'RE GOING TO USE IT
TO TRY TO TAKE SOME ACTION
00:20:35.999 --> 00:20:37.792
AGAINST THOSE ORGANIZATIONS.
00:20:37.792 --> 00:20:41.999
BUT REGARDLESS
OF WHAT COMES,
00:20:41.999 --> 00:20:47.999
ARE WE WILLING TO SAY,
LORD, IF GOD BE FOR ME,
00:20:47.999 --> 00:20:49.209
WHO CAN BE AGAINST ME?
00:20:49.209 --> 00:20:52.792
AND IF YOU, AND THIS IS THE
LAST THING I'LL SAY ON THAT,
00:20:52.792 --> 00:20:57.542
IF YOU...
00:20:57.542 --> 00:21:04.125
IF YOU'RE AFRAID THAT YOUR PAST
CAN BE USED AGAINST YOU, REPENT.
00:21:04.125 --> 00:21:05.167
PUT IT UNDER THE BLOOD.
00:21:05.167 --> 00:21:06.876
GET RIGHT WITH GOD.
00:21:06.876 --> 00:21:07.584
REBECCA: YEAH.
00:21:07.584 --> 00:21:08.626
DR. BRIDGES:
PUT YOUR STUFF,
00:21:08.626 --> 00:21:11.999
GET YOUR LIFE UNDER THE
BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:21:11.999 --> 00:21:14.209
THAT WAY, YOU CAN
HAVE A BOLDNESS.
00:21:14.209 --> 00:21:18.501
JESUS WAS NOT AFRAID BECAUSE HE
WAS IN RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD.
00:21:18.501 --> 00:21:18.999
REBECCA: YEAH.
00:21:18.999 --> 00:21:19.876
DR. BRIDGES:
THE BIBLE SAYS,
00:21:19.876 --> 00:21:21.459
THE RIGHTEOUS ARE
AS BOLD AS A LION.
00:21:21.459 --> 00:21:24.167
SO IF WE'RE NOT RIGHTEOUS,
SOMETIMES IT'S BECAUSE
00:21:24.167 --> 00:21:27.542
THERE'S AREAS IN
OUR LIVES OF COMPROMISE
00:21:27.542 --> 00:21:29.834
THAT WE NEED
TO RECTIFY.
00:21:29.834 --> 00:21:32.417
BUT ONCE YOU RECTIFY
THOSE THINGS,
00:21:32.417 --> 00:21:35.000
WHO CAN STAND AGAINST YOU?
YEAH.
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:35.584
REBECCA: YEAH.
00:21:35.584 --> 00:21:39.501
AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT
WHEN WE HAD JONATHAN CAHN ON,
00:21:39.501 --> 00:21:41.626
HE SAID, AS
THE DARK, HE SAID,
00:21:41.626 --> 00:21:44.751
THINGS WERE VERY GRAY,
ESPECIALLY IN AMERICA,
00:21:44.751 --> 00:21:46.542
IT WAS A VERY
CHRISTIAN CULTURE,
00:21:46.542 --> 00:21:47.459
BUT IT WAS MUDDLED.
00:21:47.459 --> 00:21:49.709
AND HE SAYS, AS THE
DARK GET DARKER,
00:21:49.709 --> 00:21:51.125
THE LIGHT ALSO
BECOMES LIGHTER.
00:21:51.125 --> 00:21:51.999
DR. BRIDGES:
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:21:51.999 --> 00:21:53.459
REBECCA: AND I JUST,
ONE OF MY FAVORITE VERSES
00:21:53.459 --> 00:21:54.250
IS IN PHILIPPIANS 2.
00:21:54.250 --> 00:21:57.083
IT TALKS ABOUT LIVING
YOUR LIFE A CERTAIN WAY,
00:21:57.083 --> 00:21:58.792
AND IT SAYS, YOU WILL
SHINE LIKE STARS
00:21:58.792 --> 00:22:01.042
AMONG A PERVERSE AND
CROOKED GENERATION.
00:22:01.042 --> 00:22:01.999
DR. BRIDGES:
THERE IT IS.
00:22:01.999 --> 00:22:03.501
REBECCA: AND I REMEMBER
JOHN PAUL JACKSON,
00:22:03.501 --> 00:22:05.209
WHO WAS LIKE A MENTOR,
HE ALWAYS SAID,
00:22:05.209 --> 00:22:09.999
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST
EXCITING TIMES TO BE A BELIEVER.
00:22:09.999 --> 00:22:12.375
AND EVEN THOUGH WE'RE NOT
SUPPOSED TO FALL UNDERNEATH
00:22:12.375 --> 00:22:16.999
THE FEAR OR THE PRESSURE
WHERE WE SEE THE WORLD GOING,
00:22:16.999 --> 00:22:20.751
BUT WE'RE ACTUALLY
SUPPOSED TO LOOK UP TO JESUS
00:22:20.751 --> 00:22:25.042
AND KNOW THAT OUR REDEMPTION
DRAWS NIGH, IT'S NEAR.
00:22:25.042 --> 00:22:26.999
BUT NOW IS THE TIME TO
MAKE A STAND
00:22:26.999 --> 00:22:29.999
BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ETERNITY
TO LOOK FORWARD TO,
00:22:29.999 --> 00:22:33.000
AND WHAT WE DO --
THIS LIFE IS SO SMALL.
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:33.667
THE DEVIL --
00:22:33.667 --> 00:22:34.459
DR. BRIDGES:
COMPARED TO, YEAH.
00:22:34.459 --> 00:22:35.667
REBECCA: YEAH, THE DEVIL
WANTS TO MAKE US FEEL
00:22:35.667 --> 00:22:38.125
REALLY DOWN AND WANTS TO
SCARE US OR INTIMIDATE US
00:22:38.125 --> 00:22:39.751
OR MAKES IT FEEL
LIKE IT'S FOREVER,
00:22:39.751 --> 00:22:41.542
BUT IT'S SO MINOR.
00:22:41.542 --> 00:22:42.667
AND IT COMPARED,
PAUL SAYS,
00:22:42.667 --> 00:22:44.375
TO THE GLORY
THAT'S IN STORE.
00:22:44.375 --> 00:22:44.999
DR. BRIDGES: YEAH.
00:22:44.999 --> 00:22:45.999
REBECCA: SO I WOULD
ENCOURAGE PEOPLE,
00:22:45.999 --> 00:22:47.876
NOW IS THE TIME TO STAND.
00:22:47.876 --> 00:22:49.501
AND THERE ARE
DIFFERENT CROWNS.
00:22:49.501 --> 00:22:50.999
I THINK THERE'S FIVE
DIFFERENT CROWNS
00:22:50.999 --> 00:22:55.292
FOR DIFFERENT THINGS BECAUSE
THE CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,
00:22:55.292 --> 00:22:56.999
LONGING FOR
CHRIST'S RETURN,
00:22:56.999 --> 00:22:59.667
NOT GETTING CAUGHT UP IN
THIS WORLD BEING YOUR HOME
00:22:59.667 --> 00:23:02.375
BUT LONGING FOR HIS APPEARING
AND WANTING THAT
00:23:02.375 --> 00:23:03.417
ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE.
00:23:03.417 --> 00:23:04.417
DR. BRIDGES:
WOW, THAT'S GOOD.
00:23:04.417 --> 00:23:05.918
REBECCA: THERE'S
DIFFERENT THINGS FOR US
00:23:05.918 --> 00:23:08.417
TO CONTEND FOR AND
TO BELIEVE FOR.
00:23:08.417 --> 00:23:11.417
AND THAT MY THING IS THAT
WHEN I STAND BEFORE CHRIST,
00:23:11.417 --> 00:23:14.459
I WANT TO KNOW
THAT I DID THE RIGHT THING
00:23:14.459 --> 00:23:17.459
AND THAT I DID WHAT
I ASKED HIM TO DO.
00:23:17.459 --> 00:23:18.999
AND THAT, I DON'T KNOW.
00:23:18.999 --> 00:23:20.417
IT'S LIKE AS
THINGS GET HARDER,
00:23:20.417 --> 00:23:22.626
I DON'T -- IT IS EXCITING
AT THE SAME TIME.
00:23:22.626 --> 00:23:23.999
DR. BRIDGES: OH, MAN,
I'M EXCITED.
00:23:23.999 --> 00:23:24.667
REBECCA: I AM, TOO.
00:23:24.667 --> 00:23:26.292
DR. BRIDGES: I DON'T CARE
WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.
00:23:26.292 --> 00:23:29.334
I'M LIVING MY
BEST LIFE IN CHRIST.
00:23:29.334 --> 00:23:32.667
AND I DON'T MEAN IT
IN A SELFISH WAY, BUT --
00:23:32.667 --> 00:23:33.751
REBECCA: OR
A PRIDEFUL WAY.
00:23:33.751 --> 00:23:34.999
DR. BRIDGES:
YEAH, A PRIDEFUL WAY.
00:23:34.999 --> 00:23:35.501
REBECCA: YEAH.
00:23:35.501 --> 00:23:36.999
DR. BRIDGES: BUT THIS
IS OUR BEST SEASON.
00:23:36.999 --> 00:23:37.584
REBECCA: YEAH.
00:23:37.584 --> 00:23:39.584
DR. BRIDGES: AS A
CHURCH, AS INDIVIDUALS,
00:23:39.584 --> 00:23:40.834
THIS IS OUR TIME.
00:23:40.834 --> 00:23:42.417
AND I TOLD THE
CHURCH, I SAID,
00:23:42.417 --> 00:23:44.626
THIS IS A SEASON OF
DIVINE CONQUEST
00:23:44.626 --> 00:23:47.042
YOU HAVE TO TAKE
DOMINION OVER THIS YEAR.
00:23:47.042 --> 00:23:47.751
REBECCA: YEAH.
00:23:47.751 --> 00:23:49.834
DR. BRIDGES:
YOU CAN'T, AGAIN,
00:23:49.834 --> 00:23:52.083
THAT CANCEL CULTURE
HAS MADE US,
00:23:52.083 --> 00:23:58.501
IT HAS SO INCAPACITATED
PEOPLE THAT THEY'RE AFRAID
00:23:58.501 --> 00:24:00.709
TO EVEN GRAB HOLD
OF ANYTHING ANYMORE.
00:24:00.709 --> 00:24:03.125
THEY JUST WANT TO OBSERVE
WHAT'S -- THEY WANT TO BE
00:24:03.125 --> 00:24:04.999
ON THE SIDELINES.
00:24:04.999 --> 00:24:05.667
BUT WE CAN'T DO THAT.
00:24:05.667 --> 00:24:08.584
WE HAVE TO TAKE DOMINION
OVER THIS YEAR,
00:24:08.584 --> 00:24:10.375
WE HAVE TO
POSSESS THE LAND.
00:24:10.375 --> 00:24:12.292
AND THERE ARE
GOING TO BE GIANTS.
00:24:12.292 --> 00:24:13.834
BUT GREATER IS
HE THAT IS IN US,
00:24:13.834 --> 00:24:14.999
THAN HE THAT IS
IN THE WORLD.
00:24:14.999 --> 00:24:18.584
REBECCA: SO YOU WERE SAYING
IT'S TIME TO CONQUER THIS YEAR.
00:24:18.584 --> 00:24:19.083
DR. BRIDGES: RIGHT.
00:24:19.083 --> 00:24:21.999
REBECCA: AND YOU
ACTUALLY SHARED ON ANOTHER SHOW
00:24:21.999 --> 00:24:25.292
ABOUT HOW GOD HAD
GIVEN YOU A WORD ABOUT,
00:24:25.292 --> 00:24:28.751
IT WAS IN JEREMIAH, AND IT WAS
ABOUT THE THRESHING FLOOR.
00:24:28.751 --> 00:24:29.209
DR. BRIDGES: YEAH.
00:24:29.209 --> 00:24:31.959
JEREMIAH 55 OR JEREMIAH 58,
ONE OF THOSE, YEAH.
00:24:31.959 --> 00:24:33.000
REBECCA: CAN YOU
SHARE THAT WORD?
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:33.959
DR. BRIDGES:
YEAH, I CAN.
00:24:33.959 --> 00:24:39.083
SO THE LORD HAD GIVEN ME THIS
WORD ABOUT THE THRESHING FLOOR.
00:24:39.083 --> 00:24:41.542
HE KEPT TELLING ME THE THRESHING
FLOOR, THE THRESHING FLOOR.
00:24:41.542 --> 00:24:42.999
I SAID, BUT WHAT ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?
00:24:42.999 --> 00:24:45.709
SO HE TOOK ME TO THE
SCRIPTURE IN JEREMIAH,
00:24:45.709 --> 00:24:48.792
AND HE SAYS, TELL THE DAUGHTER
OF BABYLON THAT I WILL --
00:24:48.792 --> 00:24:50.918
THAT TO TAKE HER
TO THE THRESHING FLOOR,
00:24:50.918 --> 00:24:52.876
WHERE FIRE WITH
THRESH HER.
00:24:52.876 --> 00:24:56.000
BUT THEN IT SAYS, IT HAS
ALL THESE PROMISES
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:59.584
THAT SHE WILL FLOURISH,
SHE WILL PROSPER.
00:24:59.584 --> 00:25:04.167
SO I STARTED TO STUDY ABOUT
THE WHOLE THRESHING THING.
00:25:04.167 --> 00:25:06.918
AND A THRESHING FLOOR IN
THE ANCIENT WORLD WAS A PLACE
00:25:06.918 --> 00:25:12.209
WHERE THEY SEPARATED
THE WHEAT FROM THE WHEAT HUSK,
00:25:12.209 --> 00:25:14.626
AND THEY DID IT WITH
SOMETHING CALLED A FLAIL,
00:25:14.626 --> 00:25:15.209
SO THEY WOULD BEAT IT.
00:25:15.209 --> 00:25:17.083
LITERALLY, IT'S LIKE
A NUNCHUCK, RIGHT.
00:25:17.083 --> 00:25:20.542
IT'S JUST, POW, YOU'RE
JUST BEATING IT, BEATING IT.
00:25:20.542 --> 00:25:21.792
AND IT SEPARATES.
00:25:21.792 --> 00:25:26.501
AND GOD SAID, THIS WILL BE
A SEASON OF GREAT SEPARATION,
00:25:26.501 --> 00:25:27.999
THAT THE
PRESSURE AND THE BEATING
00:25:27.999 --> 00:25:32.834
OF THE SEASON WOULD SEPARATE
THE WHEAT FROM THE HUSK, RIGHT.
00:25:32.834 --> 00:25:36.751
BUT THE LORD SAID TO ME,
HE SAID, AFTER THAT,
00:25:36.751 --> 00:25:39.459
HE SAID THAT THAT SAME
THRESHING INSTRUMENT
00:25:39.459 --> 00:25:43.000
THAT WAS USED TO THRESH HER
AND TO SEPARATE HER,
00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:44.542
THE WHEAT FROM
THE HUSK, HE SAID
00:25:44.542 --> 00:25:47.999
THAT THAT INSTRUMENT WILL
BECOME AN INSTRUMENT OF BATTLE,
00:25:47.999 --> 00:25:51.501
OF WARFARE, WHERE
WE WILL ACTUALLY CONQUER
00:25:51.501 --> 00:25:55.250
AND WE WILL DOMINATE THE
ENEMY WITH THAT SAME THING,
00:25:55.250 --> 00:25:56.083
THAT SAME
INSTRUMENT THAT WAS USED
00:25:56.083 --> 00:26:00.334
TO THRESH US, WE WILL NOW
USE AGAINST THE ENEMY.
00:26:00.334 --> 00:26:01.918
AND SO IT'S EXCITING.
00:26:01.918 --> 00:26:05.000
I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S
BEEN A SEPARATION,
00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:06.167
A NECESSARY SEPARATION.
00:26:06.167 --> 00:26:10.501
I BELIEVE GOD SEPARATED WHEAT
FROM TARES, SHEEP FROM GOAT.
00:26:10.501 --> 00:26:12.667
THE FIVE VIRGINS,
LIKE YOU WERE SAYING.
00:26:12.667 --> 00:26:16.292
AND IT'S BEEN FRUSTRATING
BUT IT'S ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
00:26:16.292 --> 00:26:16.999
FOR WHAT'S TO COME.
00:26:16.999 --> 00:26:20.999
THERE MUST BE A SEPARATION
BETWEEN THE FEARFUL
00:26:20.999 --> 00:26:22.209
AND THE FAITHFUL, RIGHT.
00:26:22.209 --> 00:26:25.292
BETWEEN THE BELIEVERS
AND THE UNBELIEVERS,
00:26:25.292 --> 00:26:25.999
EVEN IN THE CHURCH.
00:26:25.999 --> 00:26:28.250
REBECCA: YEAH, BECAUSE
THESE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS,
00:26:28.250 --> 00:26:30.999
THEY'VE FELT
LIKE A BEATING.
00:26:30.999 --> 00:26:31.876
DR. BRIDGES:
I'M TELLING YOU.
00:26:31.876 --> 00:26:32.584
REBECCA: BUT
IT'S HONESTLY,
00:26:32.584 --> 00:26:36.209
IT IS THE -- IT SOUNDS
A LITTLE IRONIC,
00:26:36.209 --> 00:26:38.501
BUT IT IS THE MERCY
AND GRACE OF GOD.
00:26:38.501 --> 00:26:39.000
DR. BRIDGES: IT IS.
00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:40.667
REBECCA: BECAUSE THAT
IS HOW HE PREPARES US.
00:26:40.667 --> 00:26:41.250
DR. BRIDGES: EXACTLY.
00:26:41.250 --> 00:26:43.626
REBECCA: AND IT'S JUST LIKE
GOING THROUGH THE FIRE,
00:26:43.626 --> 00:26:44.542
YOU'RE PURIFIED.
00:26:44.542 --> 00:26:45.000
DR. BRIDGES: YEAH.
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:45.959
REBECCA:
AND I REMEMBER,
00:26:45.959 --> 00:26:48.751
I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN GOING
THROUGH A SEASON LIKE THAT,
00:26:48.751 --> 00:26:49.834
AND IT'S
BEEN DIFFICULT,
00:26:49.834 --> 00:26:53.501
BUT I'M THANKFUL BECAUSE
IN THAT SEASON OF TESTING,
00:26:53.501 --> 00:26:57.542
NOT ONLY DOES GOD TEACH US
AND PURIFY US AND PRUNE US.
00:26:57.542 --> 00:26:58.000
DR. BRIDGES: YEAH.
00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:01.999
REBECCA: BUT HE ALSO
SHOWS US WHO HE IS
00:27:01.999 --> 00:27:05.000
AND WHO IS MOST IMPORTANT THAT
HE IS OUR FOUNDATION.
00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:06.334
AND I WAS TELLING MY
HUSBAND THE OTHER DAY,
00:27:06.334 --> 00:27:09.083
I WAS LIKE, I FELT LIKE IF
I HAD ANY FALSE SECURITY
00:27:09.083 --> 00:27:10.000
IN SOME OF THESE
OTHER THINGS,
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:12.999
GOD HAS CUT THAT OFF, AND
HE SHOWED ME IT'S ONLY ME.
00:27:12.999 --> 00:27:16.709
BECAUSE WHEN THE TIME HAS COME
TO STEP INTO THESE NEW THINGS,
00:27:16.709 --> 00:27:17.999
YOU WANT TO BE READY.
00:27:17.999 --> 00:27:19.918
I THINK ABOUT MY
DEVO THAT SAID,
00:27:19.918 --> 00:27:22.417
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT
ABOUT ALL THE THINGS
00:27:22.417 --> 00:27:24.375
THAT YOU'RE PRAYING
AND ASKING GOD FOR,
00:27:24.375 --> 00:27:28.000
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT, ARE YOU
READY TO HAVE THOSE THINGS?
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:30.042
AND IT SAYS, DON'T JUST
PRAY AND ASK GOD FOR THE THINGS
00:27:30.042 --> 00:27:33.918
THAT YOU WANT, PRAY THAT
YOU'RE READY FOR THOSE THINGS.
00:27:33.918 --> 00:27:35.999
AND SO WHILE I'M SEEKING
DIFFERENT THINGS,
00:27:35.999 --> 00:27:38.876
I ALSO ASK, LORD,
PREPARE ME FOR THAT.
00:27:38.876 --> 00:27:41.584
PREPARE ME FOR THESE
THINGS, PURIFY ME.
00:27:41.584 --> 00:27:43.999
YOU DON'T WANT TO GO
THROUGH -- INTO SOMETHING
00:27:43.999 --> 00:27:44.999
WITH NOT
THE RIGHT CHARACTER,
00:27:44.999 --> 00:27:47.918
WITHOUT THE RIGHT PURIFICATION
FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:27:47.918 --> 00:27:50.000
AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE
THINGS I WAS THINKING ABOUT
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:53.125
IS FOR PEOPLE NOT TO BE
DISCOURAGED BY THE BEATING
00:27:53.125 --> 00:27:55.209
BUT TO BE
ENCOURAGED AND KNOW THAT
00:27:55.209 --> 00:27:58.792
GOD ONLY CHASTENS THOSE
WHO HE CALLS HIS CHILDREN.
00:27:58.792 --> 00:27:59.501
DR. BRIDGES:
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:27:59.501 --> 00:28:01.125
REBECCA: IF YOU ARE NOT
BEING CHASTENED BY THE LORD,
00:28:01.125 --> 00:28:02.584
THEN YOU ARE
NOT A CHILD OF GOD.
00:28:02.584 --> 00:28:03.334
DR. BRIDGES:
I KNOW, YEAH.
00:28:03.334 --> 00:28:04.999
REBECCA: AND I
THINK ABOUT MY SON.
00:28:04.999 --> 00:28:06.083
[ LAUGHING ]
00:28:06.083 --> 00:28:06.709
REBECCA: YEAH.
00:28:06.709 --> 00:28:08.626
AND I THOUGHT ABOUT, I
USED TO NOT LIKE THAT VERSE,
00:28:08.626 --> 00:28:10.999
TO BE HONEST,
BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT
00:28:10.999 --> 00:28:12.626
FROM A
PERSPECTIVE OF LOVE
00:28:12.626 --> 00:28:14.792
UNTIL I HAD MY OWN CHILD
AND I THOUGHT,
00:28:14.792 --> 00:28:17.292
IF MY KID WAS GOING TO GO
DO SOMETHING DANGEROUS,
00:28:17.292 --> 00:28:18.042
I WOULD DISCIPLINE HIM.
00:28:18.042 --> 00:28:21.417
AND IT'S NOT -- I DON'T
DISCIPLINE MY KID OUT OF ANGER,
00:28:21.417 --> 00:28:22.999
I DISCIPLINE
MY KID IN LOVE,
00:28:22.999 --> 00:28:23.999
SO IT'S NOT HARSH.
00:28:23.999 --> 00:28:24.667
DR. BRIDGES: YEAH.
00:28:24.667 --> 00:28:26.999
REBECCA: BUT IT'S
A PROTECTIVE THING.
00:28:26.999 --> 00:28:29.959
GOD DOES THIS TO PROTECT US
FROM EVIL, FROM HARM,
00:28:29.959 --> 00:28:31.334
FROM US EVEN
HARMING OURSELVES.
00:28:31.334 --> 00:28:32.000
DR. BRIDGES:
RIGHT, WOW.
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:33.918
REBECCA: THE LAST THING
THAT I WANTED YOU TO SHARE
00:28:33.918 --> 00:28:40.292
WAS YOU HAD A -- I THINK IT WAS
A DREAM ABOUT THE FREEZING.
00:28:40.292 --> 00:28:40.999
CAN YOU SHARE THAT?
00:28:40.999 --> 00:28:41.667
DR. BRIDGES: YEAH.
00:28:41.667 --> 00:28:44.125
SO THE LORD HAD GIVEN ME
THIS PROPHETIC DREAM.
00:28:44.125 --> 00:28:50.125
I WAS IN TEXAS, AND THERE WAS
A HUGE SNOW STORM/BLIZZARD.
00:28:50.125 --> 00:28:52.459
LIKE IT WAS VERY
APOCALYPTIC.
00:28:52.459 --> 00:28:53.999
EVERYTHING WAS
FREEZING OVER,
00:28:53.999 --> 00:28:55.417
EVEN PEOPLE WERE FROZEN.
00:28:55.417 --> 00:28:57.999
AND IT'S LIKE THE
STORM WAS ENCROACHING,
00:28:57.999 --> 00:29:01.876
JUST LIKE COMING,
COMING, COMING.
00:29:01.876 --> 00:29:04.459
AND MYSELF AND A GROUP
OF OTHER LEADERS,
00:29:04.459 --> 00:29:05.999
WE WERE RUNNING
FOR SHELTER.
00:29:05.999 --> 00:29:09.042
SO WE RAN INTO THIS OLD
HOME, LOOKED LIKE IT WAS,
00:29:09.042 --> 00:29:11.999
EXCUSE ME, FROM
THE EARLY 1900S.
00:29:11.999 --> 00:29:15.792
WE RAN INSIDE, AND
WHEN WE RAN INSIDE,
00:29:15.792 --> 00:29:20.459
THINGS WERE STILL, THE FROST
AND THE FREEZE WAS JUST COMING.
00:29:20.459 --> 00:29:21.999
THE BLIZZARD
WAS JUST COMING.
00:29:21.999 --> 00:29:22.959
AND PEOPLE WERE
BEING FROZEN,
00:29:22.959 --> 00:29:25.292
AND WE KNEW IT WAS
COMING TOWARD THE HOUSE.
00:29:25.292 --> 00:29:26.334
SO I WAS LIKE,
WHAT DO WE DO?
00:29:26.334 --> 00:29:27.876
WE'RE LIKE, LORD,
WHAT DO WE DO?
00:29:27.876 --> 00:29:30.999
AND THERE WAS THIS
CAST IRON FURNACE,
00:29:30.999 --> 00:29:34.042
AND I LOOKED AT IT AND
I HEARD THIS VOICE SAY,
00:29:34.042 --> 00:29:37.292
IGNITE THE FURNACE.
IGNITE THE FIRE.
00:29:37.292 --> 00:29:37.999
AND I SAID, OKAY.
00:29:37.999 --> 00:29:41.292
AND WHEN I DID THAT, IT
STARTED TO MELT THE ICE.
00:29:41.292 --> 00:29:44.334
EVERYTHING WAS MELTED, AND
THE WATER BEGAN TO FLOW.
00:29:44.334 --> 00:29:47.083
AND OF COURSE, WE'RE DELIVERED,
WE WERE PROTECTED.
00:29:47.083 --> 00:29:49.834
AND WHEN I WOKE UP,
THE LORD SAID TO ME, HE SAID,
00:29:49.834 --> 00:29:53.999
A STORM OF COMPROMISE HAS
HIT, AND IT'S COMING.
00:29:53.999 --> 00:29:54.667
REBECCA: OH, WOW.
00:29:54.667 --> 00:30:00.209
DR. BRIDGES: HE SAID,
BUT THE FLAMES
00:30:00.209 --> 00:30:03.999
OR THE FURNACE OF REVIVAL
WILL COUNTERACT
00:30:03.999 --> 00:30:05.501
THE STORM OF COMPROMISE.
00:30:05.501 --> 00:30:08.209
HE SAYS, WE MUST
IGNITE THE FLAME.
00:30:08.209 --> 00:30:12.542
AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT
GOD IS REALLY SAYING TODAY:
00:30:12.542 --> 00:30:13.999
WE HAVE TO
IGNITE THE FLAME.
00:30:13.999 --> 00:30:17.209
SEE, THIS THING OF
COMPROMISE AND CANCEL CULTURE
00:30:17.209 --> 00:30:21.083
AND THE CHURCH BEING SILENT
IS REALLY AN ISSUE
00:30:21.083 --> 00:30:24.999
OF PERSONAL REVIVAL
THAT COLLECTS A REVIVAL.
00:30:24.999 --> 00:30:29.459
YOU CAN'T STAND
IF YOU'RE ASLEEP.
00:30:29.459 --> 00:30:29.999

NOT JUST THE CULTURE,

IT'S NOT JUST WHAT THEY'RE
DOING AND WHAT'S HAPPENING
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:41.999

OR WITH POLITICS.
00:30:41.999 --> 00:30:43.209

IT'S US STANDING UP
AND BEING THE LIGHT.
00:30:45.999 --> 00:30:50.709
BUT YOU CAN'T BE THE LIGHT
UNTIL YOU CATCH ON FIRE.
00:30:50.709 --> 00:30:53.584
THERE WERE NO LED'S
WHEN JESUS SAID,
00:30:53.584 --> 00:30:55.125
YOU'RE THE LIGHT
OF THE WORLD.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY
FLORESCENT LIGHTBULBS.

THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE LIGHT
TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO
00:30:59.999 --> 00:31:01.209
WAS WITH FIRE.
00:31:01.209 --> 00:31:02.999
AND SO IF WE'RE GOING
TO BE THE LIGHT,
00:31:02.999 --> 00:31:06.876
WE HAVE TO BE ON FIRE.
WE HAVE TO BE ON FIRE.

THING THAT WILL STOP

THE FREEZE OF COMPROMISES
HIT THE CULTURE.
00:31:12.999 --> 00:31:15.542
AND MANY HAVE BEEN
FROZEN IN COMPROMISE.
00:31:15.542 --> 00:31:17.709
BUT THERE IS A REMNANT
WHO IS SAYING, GOD,
00:31:17.709 --> 00:31:20.626
WE'RE GOING TO STOKE
THE FLAMES OF REVIVAL.
00:31:20.626 --> 00:31:22.999
WE'RE GOING TO IGNITE
THE FLAMES OF AWAKENING.

WHAT HAPPENED BACK IN
AZUSA IN THE EARLY 1800S,
00:31:26.250 --> 00:31:28.542
I BELIEVE IT'S GOING
TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

WHO WAS THE BEST WORSHIP
LEADER DURING THE REVIVAL,
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:37.250
OR, MAN, WHO HAD
THE BEST BUILDING?

NO.
00:31:37.667 --> 00:31:39.000

A SONG OF REDEMPTION.

THING IS GOING TO SHAKE PEOPLE

SHOWN ME ABOUT THIS YEAR.

BE A GREAT YEAR.

SURRENDER TO GOD'S PURPOSE.

REBECCA: HOW DO
WE IGNITE THE FIRE?
00:32:25.999 --> 00:32:30.083
DR. BRIDGES: I THINK ONE OF
THE SIMPLE WAYS TO DO THAT IS,
00:32:30.083 --> 00:32:32.667
FIRST OF ALL,
BY MAKING A DECISION.
00:32:32.667 --> 00:32:33.999

WALK IN MY CALLING,

I WANT TO BE A LIGHT IN
THE MIDST OF THE DARKNESS.
00:32:48.167 --> 00:32:53.999
AND THE OTHER THING,
SISTER REBECCA, IS PRAYER.
