Podcasts about his books

In this inspiring episode of My Simplified Life, host Michelle Glogovac interviews acclaimed author and filmmaker Andrew Weiner to explore his multifaceted creative journey. Known for his children's books and graphic novels, Andrew shares the behind-the-scenes process of storytelling for young readers and the collaborative effort that goes into bringing illustrated stories to life. His latest graphic novel, The Frog Daddy, is out today! He opens up about the importance of reading with children to spark imagination and build strong emotional connections, as well as navigating creative partnerships—especially when working with high-profile names like Alicia Keys. This episode is a must-listen for aspiring authors, parents, educators, and creatives looking to understand the intersection of children's literature, graphic novel creation, and the power of storytelling to inspire the next generation. What We're Talking About... Reading with your kids can create lasting bonds. Children's books should also entertain adults. The creative process for graphic novels involves collaboration. Writing a manuscript is just a blueprint for the artwork. Personal experiences can enrich children's literature. Balancing film and writing can be challenging yet rewarding. Collaboration in storytelling can lead to unexpected creativity. Building a collection of autographed books is a meaningful gift. The joy of reading can be shared across generations. Future projects depend on the success of current works.

In this engaging life of the twentieth century's most self-consciously learned dictator, Geoffrey Roberts explores the books Stalin read, how he read them, and what they taught him. Stalin firmly believed in the transformative potential of words, and his voracious appetite for reading guided him throughout his years. A biography as well as an intellectual portrait, Stalin's Library: A Dictator and His Books (Yale UP, 2022) explores all aspects of Stalin's tumultuous life and politics. Stalin, an avid reader from an early age, amassed a surprisingly diverse personal collection of thousands of books, many of which he marked and annotated, revealing his intimate thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Based on his wide-ranging research in Russian archives, Roberts tells the story of the creation, fragmentation, and resurrection of Stalin's personal library. As a true believer in communist ideology, Stalin was a fanatical idealist who hated his enemies—the bourgeoisie, kulaks, capitalists, imperialists, reactionaries, counter-revolutionaries, traitors—but detested their ideas even more. Geoffrey Roberts is emeritus professor of history at University College Cork and a member of the Royal Irish Academy. A leading Soviet history expert, his many books include an award-winning biography of Zhukov, Stalin's General, and the acclaimed Stalin's Wars: From World War to Cold War. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel.

Understanding the Hadith of Jibril: Insights into Islam, Iman, and IhsanPraise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon His Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).The Hadith of Jibril (Gabriel) is one of the most profound teachings in Islam. It encapsulates the core aspects of the faith: Islam, Iman (faith), and Ihsan (excellence). This famous narration, recorded in Sahih Muslim, provides a comprehensive understanding of Islamic beliefs and practices.The Story of the HadithThe Hadith of Jibril is narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). One day, a man in immaculate white clothes approached the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) while the companions were gathered. Without any signs of travel, he asked about Islam, Iman, and Ihsan. The Prophet answered, and the man confirmed each response. After the man left, the Prophet revealed that it was Jibril, who came to teach the companions their religion. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 8a)1. Islam: The Five PillarsThe Prophet (peace be upon him) explained Islam through its five pillars:Testifying that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His Messenger.Establishing regular prayers.Paying Zakat (charity).Fasting during Ramadan.Performing Hajj (pilgrimage) if capable.These pillars form the foundation of a Muslim's practical obligations. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 8a)Reference:"Certainly, Allah's only Way is Islam. Those who were given the Scripture did not dispute among themselves out of mutual envy until knowledge came to them. Whoever denies Allah's signs, then surely Allah is swift in reckoning." (Quran 3:19)2. Iman: The Six Articles of FaithThe Prophet defined Iman as believing in:Allah.His Angels.His Books.His Messengers.The Last Day.Divine Decree (Qadr), both good and evil.These beliefs form the spiritual and intellectual foundation of a Muslim. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 8a)Reference:"The Messenger firmly believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. They all believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, and His messengers. They proclaim, 'We make no distinction between any of His messengers.' And they say, 'We hear and obey. We seek Your forgiveness, our Lord! And to You alone is the final return.'" (Quran 2:285)3. Ihsan: Excellence in WorshipIhsan represents the highest level of faith, where a believer worships Allah as though they see Him, knowing that even if they do not see Him, He certainly sees them. This level emphasizes sincerity and devotion.Reference:"Establish prayer, and pay alms-tax. Whatever good you send forth for yourselves, you will certainly find its reward with Allah. Surely Allah is All-Seeing of what you do." (Quran 2:110)4. Signs of the HourJibril also questioned the Prophet about the signs of the Day of Judgment. The Prophet mentioned signs such as:The slave woman giving birth to her mistress.The barefooted shepherds competing in constructing tall buildings.These predictions signify social and moral transformations that will precede the Day of Judgment.Reference:"Indeed, Allah alone has the knowledge of the Hour. He sends down the rain, and knows what is in the wombs. No soul knows what it will earn for tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware." (Quran 31:34)Final ThoughtsThe Hadith of Jibril serves as a cornerstone for Islamic learning. It reminds Muslims to adhere to the pillars of Islam, strengthen their faith, and strive for Ihsan in all actions. May Allah guide us in understanding and practicing our religion sincerely.May peace and blessings be upon Prophet Muhammad and all his companions. Ameen.

This week we talk MILK with @fat_pig_farm Matthew Evans - the dairy kind, the plant kind and the many aspects to consider when considering either. Do you consume dairy products? Do you have issues with lactose, casein or both? Do you think plant milks are nutritious and planet-friendly? Do you think plant milk has a lighter footprint? Do you think Raw milk is safe? Dangerous? We go everywhere on the topic of milk and Matthew's research into the topic for his latest book, MILK, is thorough and revealing as well as appealing to the deep thinker and person who wants a truer food system. Matthew Evans is a Tasmanian food writer, television broadcaster and chef who lives and works on Fat Pig Farm, a soil-to-stomach regenerative farm and restaurant. He's been the host of six series of Gourmet Farmer and two documentaries on SBS TV. Matthew is the author of 15 books on food, including On Eating Meat, and his latest cookbook, the updated and revised The Real Food Companion. His book SOIL is a hymn to the remarkable, and underappreciated bit of Earth that gifts us life. His most recent book, MILK, unpacks the truth and lies behind the original superfood.Matthew's Website — https://fatpig.farm/ . His Books are also available on Amazon.com.Enjoy and let me know what you found most interesting about this exploration.

While we were one day sitting with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) there appeared before us a man dressed in extremely white clothes and with very black hair. No traces of journeying were visible on him, and none of us knew him. He sat down close by the Prophet (ﷺ) rested his knees against the knees of the Prophet (ﷺ) and placed his palms over his thighs, and said: "O Muhammad! Inform me about Islam." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) replied: "Islam is that you should testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger (ﷺ), that you should perform salah (ritual prayer), pay the zakah, fast during Ramadan, and perform Hajj (pilgrimage) to the House (the Ka`bah at Makkah), if you can find a way to it (or find the means for making the journey to it)." He said: "You have spoken the truth." We were astonished at his thus questioning him (ﷺ) and then telling him that he was right, but he went on to say, "Inform me about Iman (faith)." He (the Prophet) answered, "It is that you believe in Allah and His angels and His Books and His Messengers and in the Last Day, and in fate (qadar), both in its good and in its evil aspects." He said, "You have spoken the truth." Then he (the man) said, "Inform me about Ihsan." He (the Prophet) answered, "It is that you should serve Allah as though you could see Him, for though you cannot see Him yet He sees you." He said, "Inform me about the Hour." He (the Prophet) said, "About that the one questioned knows no more than the questioner." So he said, "Well, inform me about its signs." He said, "They are that the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress and that you will see the barefooted ones, the naked, the destitute, the herdsmen of the sheep (competing with each other) in raising lofty buildings." Thereupon the man went off. I waited a while, and then he (the Prophet) said, "O `Umar, do you know who that questioner was?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know better." He said, "That was Jibril. He came to teach you your religion." [Muslim]

The second article of faith to embrace is the belief in the Angels. The Angels are part of the unseen world; we cannot comprehend and prove it scientifically. You cannot see the Angels unless God allows you to and enables your vision. Muslims believe in Angels because they are mentioned numerous times throughout the Holy Quran and in the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, a body of work that Muslims call Hadith."The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and so have the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His Angels and His Books and His Messengers…" (Quran 2:285)God describes Angels' appearance, attributes, characteristics, and responsibilities in His Holy Book. We do not know precisely when the Angels were created, but they predate the creation of human beings. The Angels were created from pure shining light (Noor in Arabic). They are light-giving entities. Angels are generally more powerful than humans and travel at the speed of light. The Angels have certain specialties and capacities that humans do not possess. God refers to the Angels as honored servants."...Rather, they are but honored servants."           (Quran 21:26)In Arabic, Angels are called 'Mala'ika,' which means "to assist and help." Angels are Holy and exist in a constant state of worship and praise to God all day and all night; they do not disobey Him. They worship Allah constantly without growing bored or tired."They exalt Him night and day and do not slacken." (Quran 21:20)The sole purpose of the Angels is to execute the commandments of Allah. An Angel has no needs or desires for material goods. Angels do not eat, drink, sleep, marry, or procreate. The Angels do not die. The same Angels that existed when Prophet Adam, peace be upon him, was created still exist today and will continue to live until the trumpet is blown for the Day of Judgment.   "…And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him…" (Quran 74:31) The Angels have no gender; they are not female nor male. Angels are physically very beautiful, except the Angel guardian of the hellfire, who wears a stern expression and never laughs. The Greatest of these Angels are magnificent in size, far beyond our imagination. The largest and most significant is the Angel Gabriel (Jibril in Arabic), the Angel descended from Heavens to instruct the Prophets on how to teach and preach the religion. All Angels have wings; some possess two, three, or four pairs - or more. Angel Gabriel has 600 wings and is of a size so great that it fills the space between Heaven and Earth, blocking the entire horizon. You learn about the Angels to ponder, reflect, and reaffirm the Greatness of your Creator. The experience of having knowledge and belief in the Angels adds to the awe you feel toward God, in that He can create this great being and, indeed, can create whatever He Pleases and Wills. The awe and magnificence of the Almighty's creation reveal and indicate the Magnificence, Glory, and Majesty of the Almighty Himself. This should humble you and increase your God-consciousness, love, and fear of the Almighty. Knowing of the Angels also reminds you that your actions are continuously recorded by the Angels, hopefully decreasing your sins and increasing your good deeds.

He said: "You have spoken the truth." We were astonished at his thus questioning him (ﷺ) and then telling him that he was right, but he went on to say, "Inform me about Iman (faith)." He (the Prophet) answered, "It is that you believe in Allah and His angels and His Books and His Messengers and in the Last Day, and in fate (qadar), both in its good and in its evil aspects." He said, "You have spoken the truth." Then he (the man) said, "Inform me about Ihsan." He (the Prophet) answered, "It is that you should serve Allah as though you could see Him, for though you cannot see Him yet He sees you." He said, "Inform me about the Hour." He (the Prophet) said, "About that the one questioned knows no more than the questioner." So he said, "Well, inform me about its signs." He said, "They are that the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress and that you will see the barefooted ones, the naked, the destitute, the herdsmen of the sheep (competing with each other) in raising lofty buildings." Thereupon the man went off. I waited a while, and then he (the Prophet) said, "O `Umar, do you know who that questioner was?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know better." He said, "That was Jibril. He came to teach you your religion." [Muslim]

While we were one day sitting with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) there appeared before us a man dressed in extremely white clothes and with very black hair. No traces of journeying were visible on him, and none of us knew him. He sat down close by the Prophet (ﷺ) rested his knees against the knees of the Prophet (ﷺ) and placed his palms over his thighs, and said: "O Muhammad! Inform me about Islam." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) replied: "Islam is that you should testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger (ﷺ), that you should perform salah (ritual prayer), pay the zakah, fast during Ramadan, and perform Hajj (pilgrimage) to the House (the Ka`bah at Makkah), if you can find a way to it (or find the means for making the journey to it)."

In this engaging life of the twentieth century's most self-consciously learned dictator, Geoffrey Roberts explores the books Stalin read, how he read them, and what they taught him. Stalin firmly believed in the transformative potential of words, and his voracious appetite for reading guided him throughout his years. A biography as well as an intellectual portrait, Stalin's Library: A Dictator and His Books (Yale UP, 2022) explores all aspects of Stalin's tumultuous life and politics. Stalin, an avid reader from an early age, amassed a surprisingly diverse personal collection of thousands of books, many of which he marked and annotated, revealing his intimate thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Based on his wide-ranging research in Russian archives, Roberts tells the story of the creation, fragmentation, and resurrection of Stalin's personal library. As a true believer in communist ideology, Stalin was a fanatical idealist who hated his enemies—the bourgeoisie, kulaks, capitalists, imperialists, reactionaries, counter-revolutionaries, traitors—but detested their ideas even more. Geoffrey Roberts is emeritus professor of history at University College Cork and a member of the Royal Irish Academy. A leading Soviet history expert, his many books include an award-winning biography of Zhukov, Stalin's General, and the acclaimed Stalin's Wars: From World War to Cold War. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

In this episode, Dr. Addison Killeen, breaks down his three favorite gifts to give to patients, and how he took his practice from startup to max capacity over three years. Giving your patients a gift on their first visit or when referring to their friends is a great way to stand out from the crowd! Dr. Killeen goes on to show that it is important to find a balance between gifts that are too costly and gifts that don't provide enough value to patients. In his practice, he likes to give out one of three gifts: an affordable but nice bottle of red or white wine, a stainless-steel mug, or a t-shirt with the updated graphics or design of the month. He points out that sometimes putting in up to 15% of revenue towards internal marketing might be the push that you need to get rolling!Listen in on today's episode to catch Michael and Addison's conversation on the power of gifting and other internal marketing strategies!‍You can reach out to Dr. Addison Killeen here:WebsiteHis Books ‍If you want your questions answered on Monday Morning Marketing, ask me on these platforms:My Newsletter: https://thedentalmarketer.lpages.co/newsletter/The Dental Marketer Society Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2031814726927041‍Our Sponsors & Their Exclusive Deals:CARESTACK | Cloud-Based Dental SoftwareSCHEDULE A FREE DEMO TODAY!Click the link below and get 1 MONTH FOR FREE + 10% OFF your Annual Subscription + 50% OFF Your Set-up Fee!Check out CARESTACK now: https://lp.carestack.org/thedentalmarketer‍‍‍Dandy | The Fully Digital, US-based Dental Lab‍For a completely FREE 3Shape Trios 3 scanner & $250 in lab credit click here: meetdandy.com/tdm !‍‍Mango Voice | The best VoIP phones for small business with top software integrations & in-house customer support.Click here for Mango Voice's completely FREE startup package!ORClick here to get 2 FREE MONTHS with Mango Voice‍Emitrr | The Complete Customer Engagement Solution (that drastically reduces no-shows)Emitrr is giving all of our viewers & listeners an amazing exclusive deal, to schedule a free demo with Emitrr, visit our link here! https://emitrr.com/the-dental-marketer/‍Thank you for supporting the podcast by checking out our sponsors!

In todays episode, Rick and I discuss the problem with Fear within the church body, as seen by the actions of the last 2yrs and the approaching evil days.  Why was the spirit of fear so prevalent in the church and why are we not raising up a generation that know how to Bind and Loose as Matthew 16:19 tells us. Bible puts it, “Whatever you bind [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on earth will have [already] been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose [permit, declare lawful] on earth will have [already] been loosed in heaven.”www.ricknorrismusic.nethttps://rumble.com/vofn0t-where-has-christs-authority-gone.html?mref=ijkk3&mc=a98jb-His Books are available at:Restoration Preparing for His Fullness   https://amzn.to/3k1GwvCWhen Heaven Speaks Out Loud   https://amzn.to/3k1pj5vFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rick.norris.1694 Gary Duncan  0:39  All right. Welcome back to remnant Revolution podcast with your host, Gary Duncan. I'm here again with my friend, good friend, Rick Norris. Rick is an author of a book called restoration, preparing for his fullness, and wanted to get his thoughts on where we are with the church and the world that we're living in, right in this day. And if you're listening to this five years down the road, or whatever, this is 2022 in July, and we're coming off the back end of a pandemic, per se, vaccines and all kinds of stuff going on war and in Ukraine and Russia, and just a lot of stuff in other countries in our country that are happening. And so I wanted to talk to him today, Rick, about fear. Because I know fear has been one of the things that to me, this country has been gripped with, especially the last couple of years. But even the church has been gripped in fear. And so you're, again, your book you wrote this years ago, but it is so pinpoint for where we're at right now. Everything that we're going through has some piece in that book, it seems like, give us your thoughts on that. Rick Norris  1:52  Well, you know, for someone like me, if you ask a question, like, where are we at now? It's just like, it couldn't get scattershot, I'll just try and give a panoramic view. Gary Duncan  2:05  What is your what do you see as fear? Rick Norris  2:07  Yeah, that's what I was gonna give you a pin since you started. Yeah. And you wanted to pinpoint the fear issue. And as we should, that, that's a major, major priority, much more than people realize. And the reason is, it's the only remaining weapon, if you think about it, it's the only remaining weapon that the adversary had. And we get a progress if we allow ourselves to be taught correctly. And we don't cling to the old we don't cling to the old wineskin, of going to a comfortable church and making sure that nobody's confronted with anything, nobody gets their feelings hurt, and sin is not confronted. And a new understandings of the word that are still true to the word are still rejected, because we have our status quo, or the leadership has their status quo, and they're controlling everybody, blah, blah, blah, you know, if we're if we're afraid of, in something new, it's still fear. Right? So the only weapon that Satan and his minions have left is fear. And God uses us uses that fear against us. For us, you know, he uses all the attacks of the enemy, he works at all for good, that's the way he is. That's his thing. That's just, you know, He's God. And, man, there's several chapters devoted to this when you when you think about it, but some of them are direct, some are indirect. But so the progression of our growth or maturity in Christ is supposed to be built on predicated on a revelation of the fact that our enemies are defeated. All of them. He said, Behold, I give you that means us all of us. authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and nothing shall by any means harm you. And elsewhere he said, similar things, and that word, all the power of the enemy. Over all what you know, please, whoever's listening, stop and think of that for a minute. You know, don't just brush over scriptures like this. All does not have a synonym in the original language all means all. So we have authority over all the power of the enemy, right? And it's a progressive revelation, sometimes you get a sovereign revelation of it, I had to have that. Because you know, sometimes he'll want you if he wants you to learn to swim, he'll throw you in the pool. If he wants you to learn warfare, he'll throw you in the arena. And that's what he did with me. And I had learned fast. And he was there, of course, you know, early on, boy, was he there. You read the second book, it'll blow your mind. And is Christianity is either supernatural, or it's a fairy tale. Right? So they can really get scary I've had, I know what Paul meant when he said he wrestled with demons. at Ephesus, I know exactly what he meant. And other there are other people who, you know, they might have a bent or an emphasis in their calling where they have to be on the frontlines all the time. Or a great deal of the time. Usually intercessors, mature intercessors will break through and suddenly they're dealing with principality. And I want to come back to I'm headed somewhere with this answer. It's not the scenic route, it's definitely important for us to understand. And so we get this progressive revelation of the fact that we're fighting a defeated foe, but there's so as you progress, and as you get deeper into the Lord, and as the supernatural, you get, you start getting your breakthroughs and the gifts start happening and the miracles start happening and stuff like that you're a bigger threat to the kingdom of darkness, and they're gonna break out the big guns. And the big guns still only have fear. So I've had them show up in the most heinous manifestations you can imagine. Most people, you know, some people have heart attack. Some people just pee their pants, and run seriously. Gary Duncan  7:11  And do but most people actually even see that Rick Norris  7:14  well, they don't press in far enough to be a threat. They're too afraid. That's the point. Right? We we've allowed? Well, okay, I'll give you an example. I was saving this. Because I was Lee, I was headed there, I better cut to the chase. I'll give you an example. Example of where that progressive revelation of how defeated our foes are and how endowed we are. That's the other thing. We're blessed with all spiritual blessings. I mean, you could sit and meditate on that for days. What all spiritual blessings we don't even know that's eternally big. And it's going to take eternity to step into that and understand it. But so here's a picture, if you will, this actually happened to, and I'm sorry, I can't remember if it's Spurgeon or Luther, one of the early preachers that came out of, you know, stepped away from the Vatican and got persecuted. He was in jail for preaching the gospel in a place he wasn't supposed to. And he was asleep facing the wall. and an evil so powerful that, you know, it's you can't hardly describe it, it was glowing evil, you know, emanating evil, and it was so palpable and powerful in the cell. He was in that it woke him up and he rolled over and looked and here was the, again the most heinous manifestation, fangs drooling picture, the scariest, you know, demon face, whatever you could come up with. And he rolled over and he looked at it, Oh, it's you. And he rolled over and went back to sleep. Now, what does it take to get a revelation of the fact that you know when Satan obviously that was Satan himself. And that shows how important that man's destiny was because Satan is not omnipresent. Right? So he singled this guy out of all the people on the planet to try and scare away that but but my point is this. The man again, I think it might have been Luther now I dug on it. I embarrassed it. I can't remember which one is so many church fathers. I've studied out there. And some of them really got some testimony, man you don't hear about Got a bit Whoa. Anyway. So he, he knew that this was this was a scare tactic. And this was the last ditch, last best effort. So it was really he was saying sorry, we're out of candy, they're triggered treat. Sorry, we're out of candy and I don't play. Gary Duncan  10:21  So it's more about identity and understanding your place in your identity. I mean, I think back about, you know, if we lived in King Arthur's day, and we're the son of the king, you know, the prestige and the power that we would yield because of our father. How that how different that would be, or if you were coming to a king, and you're not of the king, but you're coming to him? Because you have treated somebody poorly. And the king didn't like it. Can you imagine the difference? The difference is gonna, it's there. I mean, the think thought about that many times you feel what when we say, King, we can Americans? We can't, we can't really picture that. A monarchy. Yeah, because we're not we didn't grow up in that and all that kind of stuff. But I mean, we see the movies with kings and King Arthur, and all this gladiators and all that. But when you really think about, okay, get down to the nitty gritty of it. There is some power behind the authority of that King. And so if we're the Son of God, and he's our King and our Lord, then it seems that we need to understand how our, the way we act, and then we're how we treat each other and how we walk on this earth should reflect that. But I don't see that at least in myself, I don't know, I'm sure. You just don't see that, in general, from the church from Christians, because we don't really get our identity. If we did, we would walk in that power all the time. Rick Norris  12:13  The real, the Yes. And the real word is authority. The power behind the authority is another issue. And there's another word when it says, you know, be strong in the Lord and the power of his might. That's a different word from power. That's its cause, which means the original Greek as is coos, which means, you know, the full fullness of the might of God, which is, you know, we can't even remotely get our head around that but but that gives you an idea how powerful those words are. And of course, you we've heard sermon after sermon and teaching about, I heard when yesterday about dunamis. You know, the power word dunamis in the original language, which we get dynamite from, but the other word that gets kind of ignored, is Kratos. Kratt, tosses dominion. Now, we are kind of tangent here. But it's not really a tangent because the authority of the believer is the issue. And you're right, if we had a full revelation, of who we are in Christ, and and what was delegated to us, which is his sword. It's his sword, the sword of the of the living God is in our mouth. When we bring, you know, whatever we buy, he says whatsoever things you, that you folks, that's us, you bind right on earth shall be bound in heaven. He said that Jesus said that, he said, What's your things you? That's you that's us, loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. And so yeah, our identity is a big part of that. And nowadays we have, at least well, I would say we have two generations now. that have not been taught spiritual warfare. That's why I wrote the first book, restoration, preparing for his fullness. Now, if you think of the subtitle preparing for his fullness, what think about that, you know, and I know I say this a lot, but you put the fullness of God in somebody and they're not ready for it. Right? They'll short circuit and either puff up and start the first church or what's happening now. obey me, or self destruct with, you know, any number of grandiose projects that God didn't ordain. So, you know, we have to be prepared to walk in that. But even before we get to fullness which we're not even close, I don't think so. But we, if you'll notice, take heart. Because the people that Jesus said that too, I'd send you out, you know, among wolves. And he said, you know, what's everything's you I give you authority, whatever things you bind, our nerves should be bound in heaven. They came back member, they were rejoined. They said, Lord, even the spirits are subject to us now. And he says, Now, don't get hung up on that. Now, was Gary Duncan  15:47  it the 77 777? It went out? Rick Norris  15:52  Yeah. And and they said, uh, we, you know, even though he said, Don't get hung up on that. I mean, we got people all over the country saying, Oh, I have a deliverance ministry. I've started the new big deal, deliverance ministry. Well, no, you don't have a deliverance ministry, you have ministry. And the demons are subject to you don't get hung up on that. And you've made it a big deal. Because when you were young, you cast out a demon or two, he said, these signs shall follow them that believe that can mean a child. If a child has a revelation of the authority, which I've seen him, do it and healing, God will use the foolish things of the world to confound the so called wise, right. But, you know, he said, Don't get hung up on that, because he knew we were going to, you know, start the first deliverance, big deal thingy, you know, we just can't help ourselves, we have to find an identity and be somebody. It's just, that's not what ministry is, Jesus left the throne of the universe, and came down and allowed himself to be humiliated, over and over, and then ultimately humiliated at the cross and mutilated. You know, he was greatest among us serves the rest. So that's all I'm gonna say about, like, for us, we say it's all sorry, but not for us. Because we're, you know, identity is only part of the equation here. And one of the chapters in my book is know your enemy. Right? If you know how your enemy thinks, you know, how your enemy operates, you know, there are subtle without that you don't have any advantage. Gary Duncan  17:48  But some people would say, Well, I don't want to focus on the negative. Rick Norris  17:52  Well, sure, and that's fine. Too much attention on the devil. But what I understand and that I hear that kind of dunghill all the time, right. And the and the fact of the matter is, is that's not what I'm doing what I'm trying to say is all he has is fear. I was going somewhere and that is his arsenal is all about the Boogeyman. And he Yes, he can physically manifest stuff. I a lot of that stuff that you see that have real which not one of those, you know, want to be witches, but a full on real grand witch or Warlock that's been at it, their astral projecting they're levitating. They're doing all kinds of stuff. That's by the power of Satan. And it's real, because he's a counterfeit. Well, yeah, well, no, he was given power. And you know, the gifts and callings that Gods are without Gary Duncan  18:50  repent. Everything he does is like the opposite of what God? Well, yeah, of course. So he's like, I heard it the other day. Somebody was saying these. The devil has his own Trinity. Rick Norris  19:03  Yeah, he mimics everything God does. Gary Duncan  19:05  Yeah. So he's got his own train. He's got the he's got off guy. But it was interesting. I was like, oh, never thought about, hey, mimics everything. It's got his demons. He's got himself as the Grandmaster and as witches and stuff on it. Rick Norris  19:21  So but the point is, it's real and people get, you know? Well, let me let me Gary Duncan  19:29  believe it's real. They just think it's Marvel movies and DC movies. Rick Norris  19:32  Well, they kind of do or some are that far gone. Some are just as far gone. But in a different slant. It's more subtle, and that's where we get into trouble. Let me share an example what I mean by that. I recently was asked the to join a prayer team. That is the elite of the elite intercessors supposed to be in a high place in In the city. And when I say high place, literally, you can see all of the midsection of the state. And, and I got there. And I've always wondered to so many promises over the that region, I was always wondering, why is it still being held back? Right? Well, I get there and I find out, God tells me shows me plainly that the high places still matter, not because they matter to him or matter in the spirit to us, but because they matter to the evil ones. Because there is when Satan fell, I mean, when mankind fell, and when the angels who followed Satan fell, we all inherited Satan's God sized ego. And they especially because they were sons of God, whatever that meant, then are meant meant meant for them. You know, the fallen ones, it's in their genesis, right? That they, you know, they had power before they were worshipped in heaven. To some degree, not like, you know, our God, the Trinity. Father, Son, Holy Spirit, but there was something like that going on even even Satan was it was glorious beyond where he was the covering. He was the glory over and canopy over the throne of God. That's how he got puffed up. I mean, you know, he was in charge. He was a rock star in heaven. He was the big deal. Right? As far as appearance goes, but he was a little creative being you know, he just didn't know that. Or he forgot. But my point is this. I get there. And and I'm doing this kind of like a my first time out with this crew. And it's really, really young people. Unknown Speaker  22:01  Millennials that because you're really really old. Older. Rick Norris  22:08  Yeah, I'm a relic. Yeah, yeah, I'm a relic. So I was there with in the Jesus people days with, you know, the likes of Keith melody Green. And, you know, back in the day with all the Jesus bands, and everybody, and a lot of those folks are friends. And so but anyway, so I'm old. And but that's not the point. The point is, when you're old, you know, stuff. And when I was young, I knew stuff. It's just I couldn't handle that kind of knowledge, they got puffed up and went sideways. God had to bring me back in. That's why I call seminary cemetery, because knowledge really does puff people talk about your rabbit trail. But so the point is, they said, well, we don't do binding and loosing here. Now this is the high places. And when Satan fell to the earth, he didn't eat, they set up in the second heaven. We've shared this. I've shared this many times. This is in both books. But the second heaven is where they set up because they could block this prayers of the saints going forward and prolong the inevitable, which we're coming up on. He's going to be judged, so he knows it. But, and I'll wrap this up, they said we don't do binding and loosing here. This is the one place it should be done. Because when you're praising when you're binding, and you're losing, you're coming against the powers and principalities, and spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. And they said, well, we don't believe you're supposed to be going after the principalities and powers because they're the big deal. And you'll stir things up. It'll, it'll get messy. They literally said that. And my jaw dropped. And I had a person that came with me. And I didn't say anything to that person. And later they called and said, I can't believe it. Well, now I know why the strongholds. Remember. Paul said, we're tearing down the strongholds and everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and what certain things you bind on earth and buy down in heaven? Why would he say heaven? What is binding here have to do with binding in heaven? And why did David say when I send the heavens were like brass. Right? There's a lot of little hints and pictures, you spin up time to where you start to put this thing together. And so and they're saying, No, we don't want to stir up any problems. That's like, Okay. The first time one of them came to me before and I did I realized that he was being coached later, but he came in he said, Look, man, we had people coming in here, trying to take over Same with this binding and loosing thing. And we don't want to do any of that because you're stirring stuff up. And even, you know, we don't want we've had enough problems and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So fear he's Yeah. And I said, I said, I said, and he's, you know, 2425 Maybe. And he said, and I said, You know what you call that he was what? I said, Fear. And he stopped. He couldn't say anything, because he's got a good heart harder goal. And he's just kind of looked around, he went, you know, it caught him completely flat footed. And I said, you know, we son, you got to get some skin on. We're in a war. Whether you fight or not, you're gonna get shot right out of the saddle. If you don't stand up and fight. So you're in a war, Satan hates your guts and wants to kill you. And he's saying, well, we don't want to fight back because we don't want them to be angry with it. It's kind of like the woke crowd. Right? Well, don't be islamophobe. Gary Duncan  26:03  Let's still speak truth. Yeah, let's get yelled at. Rick Norris  26:07  Yeah, let's not be an Islamophobe. To the terrorist, because they might get mad. Gary Duncan  26:15  Yeah, well, no. And that's a real fear. I mean, I remember years ago, when they were really the ISIS and everything was going on. And it's like, somebody and I think Europe, England, wrote just did a comic and they firebomb their, their building. And it's like, that's the there's a reason they call it terrorists. But if you think about, you know, how many churches would stand up and speak truth about Islam? I don't think none of them would, because they don't have the backbone to do it. Yeah. Because the fear that Islam has perpetuated within society, and they'll just kill you. Rick Norris  26:58  Yeah. And the fear of rejection of those around them that are so mushy, Gary Duncan  27:03  right, because we're trying to give a good witness. We want to be a good witness for Jesus. And we don't want to project meanness or the truth, which might offend them. Rick Norris  27:13  Yeah. That's all predicated on fear. Gary Duncan  27:17  What do you mean, I can't speak truth. Yeah. No, and that's kind of where we've, we've come out of the last two years is this fear mongering of a of a cold that developed and it turned into something big because nobody wanted to use simple solutions. They wanted to push an agenda. A boy did and now that now we've got vaccines that do the same thing. Yeah. And I mean, I was just that was looking at some people yesterday, I mean, they were two years later, okay. And we've got 20 Somethings still walk around with masks. So I'm like, dude, Rick Norris  27:59  well, and the, you know, the mainstream media I don't know how they have continued to be have any credibility at all. Because it's so blatant what they're doing. They've become an extension of CCP and the who and the NH now national health institution Gary Duncan  28:21  is to be system the whole system are part of that's it. Rick Norris  28:25  Yeah. And there really is a cabal and I like somebody the other day said, I'm gonna have to get some new conspiracy theories because all my other true all the other ones came through. I love that. This that's a whacked our world is this stuff's really happening. Gary Duncan  28:44  And it's all it's all pepper. Dee Dee. It's all Rick Norris  28:50  perpetuated. There Gary Duncan  28:52  you go. It's all perpetuated on fear. Oh, predicate, predicate, predicate all built on fear. Yeah. And, I mean, I'm affected by there's things that I won't say or do because I'm fearful. I haven't broke through that level yet. But my biggest, you know, my biggest issue has been about how the church went through this whole thing. And, you know, it's, it's just over fear. It's fear of turning people away offending people, because we're not wearing masks during the time that all the higher beings are telling us to wear masks and, and, you know, all this kind of the more think about how we didn't, how we shut down and closed up. And there was nobody bold enough with courage to stand up who there was one or two. Yeah, in my city, there was one or two to stand up and just say, No, you know, we're not shutting down. We never shut our doors. We've been through wars and we've never showed doors. But if you want to come to or you can come if you don't want to come to church, you can stay at church, you know, at home, we will have a zoom, but we're gonna have in service no matter what. And that's not a Western thing. That's that's a God ordained thing that we're to gather. Does it is there anywhere in the Bible tells us not to gather out of fear? That we might catch a cold or catch a virus? Or, Rick Norris  30:22  or and Don't? Don't? Don't battle the principalities because they might get upset at you? Yeah, he might Gary Duncan  30:31  just wonder where in the Bible does it tell us to not assemble, to worship Him and to edify the church when the Bible doesn't say for us not to symbol, and that anywhere, anywhere? I mean, if people are listening, and you can find it in the Bible, please. Yeah, it's not there. So. So why would we do it now? Rick Norris  30:56  Why did we do it? Yeah. Well, it's fear. Yeah, that's unambiguous. But Gary Duncan  31:00  I'm showing because I talk about that. I want to I want to get answers. I want to hear reasoning and understanding of why do we do that? And they have yet to hear churches repent because of that. Yeah. We're even having a discussion about Rick Norris  31:14  Yep. Yep. And that's, that's why I have several chapters dedicated to the fear factor. In fact, that's the name of one of the chapters, the fear factor, all right, because that which is not a faith is sin. And faith is the opposite, exact opposite of fear. And vice versa, obviously, so. So we have the here we have coming back to that experience I just had recently with those young folks well, because they were never taught true spiritual warfare, spiritual warfare for them as Oh, Lord, just bless what's his name? And, and what's your name and cause them to, to come to know you more deeply and, and Kumbaya. That, you know, they might sing some praise, which is always good, because, you know, praise inhabits the praises of his people, he isn't thrown on the praises of His people. I recently was walking down, driving down 14th Street, and well, it doesn't matter where I live and cast a demon out of a young man. I mean, one of the most dramatic changes in human being before and after. Gary Duncan  32:39  That's the one where you screaming out the window. Yeah, I love to see that. Rick Norris  32:44  Oh, it was amazing. And the changes what was amazing. I mean, I've seen a great deal of that in my life. Because it's just part of my calling, and it's not all deliverance ministry, it just, you know, whatever, you know, we're also these signs shall follow them that bully in my name, they will cast out demons. All right, people are afraid to step out into this isn't that fear? In my name, Jesus said this, they will cast out demons, right. If you believe that middle cast out demons will speak with new tongues. You know, Gary Duncan  33:21  laying drink, poison will not harm you. Yeah, Rick Norris  33:24  you'll lay hands on the sick, they shall recover, and so on. So, so here's Gary Duncan  33:29  what was that just for the Jews that wasn't for Gentile. Rick Norris  33:33  So, and, and people I literally have people all times that will I just don't believe that? Well, I just tell them say, well, it's not for you. You know, it says it. It's for those who believe those who believe in my name. Those who believe Yeah, and if you don't believe, I'm sorry, you're out of luck. You just don't get them. You know, and they'll turn around, you know, the next week and say, you know, I can't understand why I don't have any miracles in my life. What? You know, but anyway, so that's a little bit of a humorous tangent, Gary Duncan  34:05  for those that believe humorous, but it's just, you know, for those who believe, but fear, I believe it. But I'm gonna, I'm not walking around, casting demons out. And well, Rick Norris  34:21  that's another subject Pete, you can appropriate that kind of power. That's the other thing that nobody's getting taught. And then another reason why I wrote that book. There's, I've had three people come to me on occasions, and say, I've been in the church for 40 years. Right? And I'm repeating this for a reason, because it's so appropriate to what you just said. And they'll say I, you know, I've never even had a prophetic word, a vision, much less a miracle or a healing or cast out a demon. What am I doing wrong? And these are people that you know, really want God and really are seeking God? Or they wouldn't have asked for one thing? I said when's the last time I asked him to rhetorical questions when the last time you spent three hours praying in tongues? All right. And by the way, if you're one of those people that doesn't believe in tongues, go do some homework. It's an idiom, praying in the Spirit is not what the liberal theologians have tried to play it down to be it's an idiom from the first century, it means praying in tongues. And and it says right there in the word, do not despise praying and tongue. So are prophesying, which is another idiom, but we won't go into that. So now Gary Duncan  35:47  our gun at Paul said that Paul was telling us, yeah, you know, he'd rather pray I'd rather prophesy than Rick Norris  35:57  Well, that's yeah, no, that's a different question. Correct? What's the kind of stuff that does quote to you when you say that? And it's a mis representation of the context, you know, you're taking it out of context, the context there that you just mentioned is, hey, if you're going to stand up and give a word in tongues, you better have an interpretation. Or you're out of order, because the idea is to edify the bride. And if if everybody was to get the interpretation, that'd be fine. But I've never seen that happen. I've seen interpretations, many times back, and especially back in the day, but not so much these days. But and that's part of the plan. Some Gary Duncan  36:39  of them say, well, that's not for the church. That was that was just for back then. And now that's Rick Norris  36:43  denominational. Yeah, that's John MacArthur's Gary Duncan  36:45  that way. Rick Norris  36:45  And, well, there's a lot of old school denominations that believe they've had to say that because their theologians that went to cemetery, as I call it, started playing games with the words because they didn't have that in their life. So they had to find a way to justify the fact that that wasn't in their life. It's Christianity, again, is either supernatural, or it's a fairy tale. And if you haven't broken through it to the point where you're starting to get into the miraculous that and be a threat to the darkness, so it manifests, and all and you can deal with that and bind all that. If you haven't had miracles in your life, if you haven't had the gifts manifest in your life wins is coming back to what I was saying. In all three cases, I said when's the last time I came it down, brought it down to one thing, when's the last time you spent one hour praying in tongues? That's all you did. And and, and they said, I've never done that. And I said, try that and get back to me. And shortly thereafter, they had a breakthrough. And into the supernatural was like something happened that they knew was supernatural. And it was for them so that they would do and it was incentive to encourage them to make the time. See, we're not supposed to take the time to do this. We're supposed to make the time to do this. Gary Duncan  38:10  Even Jesus said, you know, about those 70 that came back or, you know, some things only happen because of prayer and fasting and fasting. Yeah, that's a tough one for me. We're gonna have to do a podcast on fasting because I like to eat. Rick Norris  38:27  Okay, err, hands on my ears, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la. Yeah, no, I don't want to talk about that. So I'm kidding. Of course. Yeah. It's, it's tough at my age, and I have, you know, dealing with the effects of carbohydrates at my age. And so, you know, fasting is really, Gary Duncan  38:50  you know, prayer and fasting and praying in tongues as prayer. Yeah. Yeah. So, Rick Norris  38:56  okay, so what are we in? We're talking about spiritual warfare. And how fear negates it. Fear will allow the adversary to come in and kick your butt. All right. So why did why did he say prayer and fasting? Well, it's an actually an act of violence. And, and the Lord said, Remember the word says the kingdom of God suffers violent and violent men take it by force. Gary Duncan  39:30  Yeah, explain that because I always get a little bit confused because I'm thinking the enemy is the violent one and the violent take it by storm but yeah, speak to that a little reason Rick Norris  39:40  you think your brain goes there? Yeah. Is because the what you've been taught and not taught the back of back page of my first book, it addresses that in a basically a rebuke and it's a rebuke mostly to leadership. I know that sounds heavy, but I feel called to rebuke leadership. Because we aren't we have two generations that are anemic. And the devil is handing them their butt and popping the bag and eating their lunch arrive with all those cliches. And the reason is, is there. They didn't teach them the other side of who Jesus is. Jesus is not squeamish about drawing a sword, or drawing blood and we have no concept of that part of him Gary Duncan  40:33  or chocolates, chocolate soldiers. per day. Rick Norris  40:38  Yeah. Well, and so the devil comes in and, and he, he's not like us, he always knows what he's gonna get, like a box of chocolate soldier, and he's gonna eat Yeah. Right. So unless you stand up and fight, you know, and what's funny is about those young people that told me, you know, I, that we don't do binding and loosing because it stirs up trouble. That's an indication that you realize that there's a real supernatural effect in the spirit realm. Hello, right. So wake up to what you're saying. And they'll say, Well, yeah, but you know, we're, what it is, here's an example. I'm gonna have to say, this is gonna go, this is gonna make some folks upset. Well, I'll tell you what, I won't use his name out of love and respect. Because we all make mistakes. He's gone. Now. It was a man that a prophet, you know, some call them the problem is a lot of self proclaimed prophets out there these days. And he wrote a book, and that claimed, and I'm not even gonna use the title of a whale, maybe? Well, the title of the book was needless casualties. Right? And his premise was, well, you don't want to fight against the big boys. You know, don't fight against the, you know, the principalities and stuff, because I mean, they're just too big for us. And he does it in, you know, subtle ways. But that's the premise. And the fact of the matter is, is only one area that I agree with him on that, and that's if you're right out of the box, you're a brand new baby Christian, you don't, you know, you might start to get a revelation of the authority of God and you go out and pick a fight with something that four out of your weight class, you could get in trouble. Now, I've also seen God intervene. In my life, I was a brand new baby Christian and three of my friends took me out in the vehicle in the boonies to have a debate. And, and they were seducing me. I mean, they were actually good. You know, Hey, man, like, you know, they were like, into the new age and drugs and everything. You can Yeah, man. God's cool. You know, you can like have both worlds. And, and, and you can get in and God was showed up defendant and nearly took that vehicle apart. The girls were screaming stuff that's in my second book. I didn't share some of that stuff for 50 years, because I didn't want to end up in a funny farm. You know, miracles of biblical proportion in my life. And it's only because of these revelations, not because I'm all that, not because I'm spiritual and special. Or it's just, you know, in fact, he, Rick rhymes with thick. He had to work me over man. I spent so much time in the wilderness. I got some friends in California that call me the park ranger. So the bottom line is, these kids were saying that we don't want to battle against the principalities and powers because they're too big in them. We don't want to bind and loose because it'll stir stuff up. Well, Paul says, we don't battle against anybody else. That's exactly what we are battling. We battle against powers, principalities, and spiritual wickedness darkness in heavenly places. Well, the question is, what is spiritual wickedness doing and heavenly breezes? And why are we told to tear down the strongholds? And why does it say that the principalities are already defeated? Right. Well, I have people say, Well, where does it say that? Well, it says in Ephesians. Also in Ephesians, it says, Having disarmed Are you listening folk, Having disarmed Prince abou apologies? Look at the wording there, you know, and powers. He made a public spectacle of them. triumphing over them in it. That's Ephesians. All right. So what that depicts is, you know, when a king would conquer another king and back in the day, they would put them in chains and marching through the streets of the town to show their victory. And so that's what that's alluding to, you know, Jesus openly publicly shamed. Satan and his minions defeated them utterly, completely. Hello. Sound like I'm preaching here. And so, so they're saying, we don't want to fight the principalities. And that's the very ones that we're supposed to be fighting. And they're disarmed. Having disarmed principalities and powers. Right? So but they have some power. So they'll show up and, and scary it, you know. And if you if you're like most folks, your hair stands up, get goosebumps all over again, you can't hardly move. Gary Duncan  46:03  The thing that I'm seeing, I mean, I'm not seeing demons flying around and all this kind of stuff. I'm seeing people that are demon eyes, that are attacking us. Rick Norris  46:15  best weapon. That's, Gary Duncan  46:16  that's the thing. We're in a culture right now that I was listening to. Yeah, I was just listening to a Senate hearing. Just a clip of it, where Senator Holly was interviewing some some woman. I'm listening to it. And it's so basically it means if you have any disagreement with my belief that people drank chant transgender people. Rick Norris  47:36  Oh, that Congressman was yes. Oh Gary Duncan  47:39  my gosh, it was like he's like, Ma'am, are you saying that? Are Rick Norris  47:43  you insane? Gary Duncan  47:44  Are you Yeah, it was crazy. And it was like, You have no argument against them. You can't say anything? Or else you'll be labeled as a terrorist a bigot transpose transphobic. Wow, that is such fear that she was propagating to him which he was going to take. Yeah, just a normal person totally exposed. Oh, guy did but but that that's just a subtleness of what Rick Norris  48:09  this defining subtle, it's so stupid. Well, yeah. Insane. She Gary Duncan  48:13  was just a total idiot. Yeah. But she was possessed had to be possessed, because of the ludicrous of what she was saying. Yeah. And so looking at that they're using that ludicrous see, to put fear in people's hearts to just even to a question. Yeah. Did God really make man and woman? Yeah, even the question. And what was interesting, and I'll go off track here for saying, we went and saw the newest Thor movie. And, and I'm sitting there watching this, and this really, you know, demonic looking guy, the bad guy, of course, you know, you got your good guy and your bad guy, your evil eye. And it was all about how the gods really didn't care about the minions. The people. Yeah. And I thought sounds like politics. And so it was really this guy is up and won't tell the story. Because people probably me if you see those movies, fine. But it was saying that God's and so you could just take that and go, the God, Jehovah, Jesus God, the Holy Spirit. You could take that and replace it with what this movie is preaching. Or, you know, fantasizing about is that you can't trust Gods because they won't take care of you. Yeah, they'll let your children die. And they'll let this happen. And he went on a war war page to kill all the gods. And I thought Hollywood, Hollywood likes to mimic what they believe. So is Hollywood, trying to implant in people's minds, of course, that God will not take care of you. God does not like you he lets you perish. And because the God that set this whole thing up in the movie He was was a real jerk, you know? And this guy was worshipping this God all the way to his last breath. And then when he met the guy in heaven wherever that the God just laughed it. So it's like, oh, I can see how Hollywood would do that. Yep. Anything against God so that just that, you know setting up well against God. Yeah. So anyway that mean that's the way I was thinking as I was watching the movie and, you know, improperly reinforcing the reinforcing what they believe Rick Norris  50:32  the fear, the fear the insecurity is Gary Duncan  50:35  but if you're not paying attention to what the enemy is doing, you don't know your enemy, you're not going to realize that they're trying to implant fear into your heart while you're being entertained. And some people say, Well, why do you even waste your time and go to those movies? I asked myself that question a lot. Why don't I entertain myself? Rick Norris  50:56  Yeah, I, I don't I had to get away from television and movies and stuff, because I really enjoy a good one. Now that all of that is coming back to what you were talking about is predictive programming. That's what that's cool. And it's always been there. It started with Fantasia Fantasia was the first real animated Big Deal production. Gary Duncan  51:21  Now you're getting into conspiracies? Rick Norris  51:24  Yeah. Well, I have a new one, like I said, because the other ones all came true. Gary Duncan  51:29  In case six, I'll it early, Rick Norris  51:34  all that stuff happening, man. What anyway, so we got to stay on track. Because what's happening right now is we have two generations that have not been taught that Jesus has a sword in his hand. And when He returns, he returned, it says he will. The Lord comes with fire. And every man's work will be every man work will be tested. Right? This is real. And, and the so you know, read Isaiah 30 You know, the voice of the Lord comes from afar bring in his anger and his Furies and it's like a turret torrent of fire up to the neck. You look at the Hebrew there, it's amazing. And he's bringing his sifting the nations in his seeds of death, see the destruction but isn't that the old guy and but right in the middle of that I want you to bring me back to them. Very important. Right in the middle of the most fire and brimstone you know, scriptures in probably the Bible, but definitely Isaiah, right in the middle of it says but you will have a song as in the night when one goes to the mountain of the Lord for a festival with a flute and joy of heart. And then it goes back and the Lord's gonna burn all of us in your back into this, you know, fire damnation and he's gonna, you know, do all this and that and judge the nations and fury and blah, blah, blah. And then it says an everywhere that the rod of His punishment passes will be to the sound of stringed instruments, and timbrels. So there's your praise and worship element again. He inhabits the praises of His people remember in that one battle in Israel, where they went, they said, you know, send in the Levites singing, you know, singing, His mercy endures forever. Well, I know I'm a veteran, I know a little bit about combat, you don't send singers in against even small arms. Because small arms are moving about 2300 feet per second. And when they go through, I had a buddy that got shot through the hand and he was in shock, of course. And he looked it was daylight right through the middle of his hand. And it was smoking. You know, that's how hot those rounds are. Right? It was smoking. And so you the point is we are we're in a war. I can't really it's so hard for me. It's so frustrating, because I can't make people understand the reality of where we are now. You said something a second ago Gary Duncan  54:43  about Well, that was the old god. Okay. Yeah, this is really what we're talking about Jesus, Rick Norris  54:47  this is really important. And this again, is in the first book and very, very important. Alright, so this is, this is a real Your eye opener and I know we're going long, but it's so important. Alright, so who is the real Jesus? Right? He's a priest and a king. We've been taught till we're blue in the face about the priests because that's comfortable. And love. It's safe. It's safe, and it's loving. And it's comfortable. And it's don't offend anybody that and unless they're in the temple doing making it all about Gary Duncan  55:30  money makes it everybody feel good? Yeah. Rick Norris  55:33  So okay, so they'll say, Well, why do you why do you always teach about this warfare thing? Well, I don't, I most often don't. But now we're at a crisis point, because we have a war, an onslaught of Satan, a defeated enemy that everybody's afraid of. And it's a wave. It's like a tsunami coming out of hell on the earth right now. And Christians are clueless, they don't know they can bind. They can defend themselves, they can defend their families, they can defend their church, they can bind it and render that stuff powerless. They have no clue. And they get a little pain right here and the demon starts whispering in their ear and they buy into like all kinds of diseases and sickness and it's real. This is how we operate. Now it's it says in Scripture, the spiritual rock that led them in the wilderness was Christ. That that hang for a minute, I'll repeat it. The spiritual rock rock of ages remember that song? The spiritual rock that led them in the wilderness? Right? Was Christ. Okay, so here we Gary Duncan  56:56  are Old Testament. Yeah, that's the Old Rick Norris  56:58  Testament. I mean, I mean, the account is in is in Hebrews. But it's saying the word of God the Bible's that that was Christ leading them in the wilderness, or what did he lead them to do? Everything from warfare to genocide. So he's, he's a warrior's warrior. That's why he said, You asked David, hey, what do you do? I kill people. What? Well, I'm a soldier. I mean, just what Gary Duncan  57:33  God Yes. Like, how do they reconcile? Rick Norris  57:35  And, and so I'll lose my train of thought. Gary Duncan  57:40  I'll lose my do. Rick Norris  57:42  We always do this one retired. So, so this, so the spirit, you know, what I'm trying to say is, he's a warrior. And we don't know that side of him at all. Right? So why would he leave? Why would Jesus Jesus meek and mild, right? lead somebody to, you know, nail, an entire culture, you know, do what is the equivalent today of genocide? Well, the reason was, is because those cultures were part of the Nephilim bloodline. We don't know about that. Member. Well, when the spies went in, they said, they're giants in the land. So there's the there's the confirmation, all those cultures were tainted with the blood of the Nephilim were the sons of God went into the daughters of man's son of God means the Fallen One. If you do some real heavy homework, you'll find the word Anunnaki. In the earliest gret early cultures, and that word means the Fallen month. So they when they had sex, they weren't supposed to have sex with women because they weren't of human full human origin. Had I don't know how to put that. Yeah, we don't really understand that they were angels. They were angels, and many ways not entirely. Meaning there had to be some, some other stuff going on there. But I, I don't know how that work. Gary Duncan  59:12  You were there mixing they mixed to namely different species species. Rick Norris  59:17  Yes. So. So here, you have women that are having babies that grew up to be giants, some, you know, the Smithsonian keeps hiding the bones, but the cats out of the bag there too. Now, you know, some are like 15 to 20 feet tall. And we you know, they're they were all over North America and all that and I won't get into all that. But you do enough archeological homework on that issue. And it's overwhelming evidence is just that they keep. They don't want to have anything that would mess with the vindicate the biblical narrative. So they started that early, really early. All of a sudden, all those bones they had just disappeared. All right. That's why they won't let them dig up the mounds, those big mounds in wherever that is Ohio. I think it is. Because they'll just oh, well, that's sacred ground for the American Native. That's not American Native grant. Even the American natives say that's not ours. And, um, but they won't let them go in there. That's a bit of a tangent also. But the point is conspiracy. Yeah. Oh, there's another conspiracy thing, conspiracy alert. And that, and that cats out of the bag, the evidence, is there empirical evidence. So anyway, the reason I share that is because that's why he had those cultures eradicated. Because they were that bloodline was demonic. The bloodline was actually going to was an attempt of the adversary to take the worldwide bloodline, so there wouldn't be a bloodline like marriage. It was preempted. And so anyway, I won't go into that, except that people say, Well, that's an exception to the rule. Well, not really, because if you want to see the Jesus, the same Jesus in the New Testament, you can go to the letters to what was not Smyrna. One of the seven letters like right now, I can't remember which one of the seven letters to the churches is Jesus speaking? You ask people, What is the book of Revelation about, oh, man, it's about like prophesy, and in times and stuff? No, it's a revelation of Jesus Christ. And those other things, he's showing what's going to happen in the process. And there's a lot of breaking it down, well, how it's going to happen. Bring me back to the white horse. And I'll share some of that. And I guess we'll have several pots, again, but it's important stuff. So you want to see that same Jesus, that is the spiritual rock that led them in the wilderness. Look at the seven letters. He says to one of the churches, in one of the letters, he says, I, you know, He commends him a little bit, but then he says, But I have this against you, that you have allowed this Jezebel in your church. And she's a witch, by the way, Jezebel is a witch. And it's a it's a controlling spirit that's rampant in all just about every church. And we're unaware of it. People, you know, it's like, doesn't mean church lady, it usually is, but it can mean just as easily. There's a guy with control issues, it becomes a demonic stronghold, and lot of your really big churches where there's a lot of accountability, function, technically function like a call. Because if you stand up, go, hey, you know, your scripture here wasn't quite lining up with, you know, something in the Word. They'll they'll blacklist you running out of dodge. Right. And I won't go into that. Gary Duncan  1:03:15  Yeah, that's another podcast. Yeah. Rick Norris  1:03:16  But here's the deal. Gary Duncan  1:03:19  Oh, fear? Well, that's Rick Norris  1:03:21  what I'm saying is that we fear that Jesus is a little more monarch than we care for. He scares us. And we worry about him being arbitrary. That's us doing using a big word, anthropomorphizing. We're projecting human attributes on the God. Right. But that's not who he is. He's He's the same yesterday, today and forever. And part of them is the soldier Warren King. We've never been taught because it's uncomfortable. And so here we find Jesus saying, Okay, you have that Jezebel, I'm going to throw her on a bed of sickness. Wait a minute. You know, one minute he's raising them off a Betta sickness next minute, he's throwing them on one. Right? And he says that I will kill her children with death. That's Jesus speaking, folks. Now, the reason you never heard that is because it's uncomfortable. And not a pastor out here wants to jeopardize his budget. And there's a few that are bold. But and truthful, true to the word. Now you say Well, Jesus would never kill children. Well, again, remember what he did when he led them in the wilderness? Well, these children from Jezebel are the Jew direct, demonic and or satanic progeny. They are the children of the devil. She's in the devil's bed. spiritually. She is a Any guy, any guy in the church that she happened to have sex with? Is that progeny? That child is got, technically spiritually 50% Demon bloodline, say, Satan's bloodline, because she's a full blown dedicated, blood sacrificed. In other words, she's like necromancy, and I hate to use that word, but I mean, it's it's a gross as it gets, but she has given herself totally over to Satan and death and is a plant, if you will, she's a spy from hell. So, and there's bunches of that in the churches and nobody's even as a clue, man. But the point is, Jesus is not afraid to do warfare, and he hates fear. And to wrap us up on fear. In Revelation, I believe it's 21 He lists who's going to the lake of fire. Right, and it's the usual suspects. adulterers, idolaters, liar, liars. You know, extortion or pervert. And what's the first hint right in the middle of that? Yeah, right. Even at the front of that is an all cowards and fearful. I wanted that to soak in for a sec. All the cowardly and fearful will be in the lake of fire with that other lineup. Those other characters. Wait a minute, what? So that's how much God hates fear. And the reason he hates fear is it is the exact demonic opposite. It of faith, it's faith in the devil. Gary Duncan  1:07:01  Because he didn't give us a spirit of fear. Right? Yeah. So if we have fear, then he says like, okay, within you didn't get the spirit of the Holy Spirit because you're in fear. Rick Norris  1:07:14  Well, even if you've got it, give you a spirit of Gary Duncan  1:07:17  fear. Yeah. sound mind. Yeah. Rick Norris  1:07:21  And there's been people I've seen a lot of people you know, digress, regress, died, degenerate, whatever you want to call it. So they don't spend a lot of time alone with the Lord. They don't pray in tongues, and their spirit atrophies. And pretty soon they're right back in fear, having already been baptized in Lagos. And some of them even had a revelation of all of this and just atrophied. Let their faith go weak because they weren't pursuing God. So well, let's wrap this up. And if I can, I pray? No, okay. No, pray. Gary Duncan  1:07:55  Leave this in fear. As you can pray. Rick Norris  1:07:58  Lord, you know the bride, you know your people. And, you know, I've been terribly verbose again, because you've rise in me in that wave of holy love that you have for your people comes through and you you're so passionate about your, your bride knowing how to defend yourself and others for what's about to happen on the earth. I asked, Lord, we asked, Are we intercede from our hearts with tears? Or we ask that you please give your bride the the commensurate Revelation the revelation commensurate to stepping into her new battle dress, armor. Please, Lord God, we're gonna get blindsided. You know that that's why we're having this pod. Lord, you're the only one that can wake your bride up to realize what's coming, and how to defend herself and to do whatever it takes a crash course visitation, dreams, visions, and bring your bride to the place where she realizes we have all the armament, we need all the arms. We need to bind and loose and decree and declare and establish that your word and your kingdom on the earth. Please, Lord, help us. Rescue your bride from all this fear and cause us to remember that you did not give us the spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind. We ask it in Jesus law, according to your great love and mercy, Lord. Gary Duncan  1:09:57  Well Rick again appreciate enjoy conversations with you. And please, folks share this podcast with others that might be going through some times of fear, trepidation and just struggle. And that hit the like button, do all that kind of stuff to help get the word out. And till next time we appreciate it and God bless Transcribed by https://otter.ai
