Speaker A:

Welcome to Freedom through Faith and the Red Letter Crusade where the words of Jesus take center stage.

Speaker A:

Join us as we bring healing, unity and clarity to your walk with God by focusing on one thing.

Speaker A:

What did Jesus say now?

Speaker A:

Now let's join Pastor Robert Thibodeau for the Red Letter Crusade.

Speaker A:

Because when it comes to understanding the entire Bible, his words matter.

Speaker B:

Hello everyone, everywhere.

Speaker B:

Pastor Bob Thibodeau here.

Speaker B:

Welcome to Freedom through Faith.

Speaker B:

Glory to God.

Speaker B:

We're so blessed you're joining us today.

Speaker B:

Another day to gather around the word of the Lord.

Speaker B:

It is exciting every time we get to study the word.

Speaker B:

If you're not excited about this, if you're not on fire for, for studying the red letter words of Jesus and, and actually the whole Bible, your wood's been wet.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

Because every time I do my Bible study in the mornings, I gotta force myself to put it down.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

Praise God.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

Let's go to Lord word of prayer.

Speaker B:

We will jump right into today's Bible study because we got to talk about.

Speaker B:

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you and praise you for this day you created before the world even began.

Speaker B:

And we're, our eyes are just seeing it right now.

Speaker B:

Father, we thank you and praise you that you're ordering our steps this day.

Speaker B:

You're ordering this conversation this day.

Speaker B:

All to bring someone to the point of decision to receive Jesus as their savior.

Speaker B:

Father, we thank you and praise you for this day and the technology you made available for us to share the gospel with the world.

Speaker B:

Now.

Speaker B:

Lord, we ask that you lead, guide and direct this conversation by your holy spirit.

Speaker B:

And we give you, Father, all honor, glory and praise in Jesus name.

Speaker B:

Amen and amen.

Speaker B:

Praise God.

Speaker B:

Praise you, Jesus.

Speaker B:

This is going to be a good day today.

Speaker B:

If you have your Bibles, turn to Deuteronomy, chapter 18.

Speaker B:

That's where we're going to start at today.

Speaker B:

Well, brother Bob, what's that got to do with the red letter words of Jesus?

Speaker B:

You about to find out, son.

Speaker B:

I tell you this, this, this has been on my heart today because you know we're going to talk about from Moses to Jesus in prophecy and when we talk about, you know, great figures in scripture, one name always rises to the top.

Speaker B:

And as Moses, because Moses more than a leader, he was the lawgiver, the deliverer, the one who spoke with God face to face.

Speaker B:

But even Moses knew his mission was not the end of the story.

Speaker B:

Because before he died, Moses prophesied that God would raise up another prophet, one greater than himself, a Prophet who would not just represent God, who would speak the very words God, the very word of God, directly to the people.

Speaker B:

In Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verse 18 and 19.

Speaker B:

Praise God.

Speaker B:

Moses declared, I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers.

Speaker B:

I'll put my words in his mouth.

Speaker B:

He will speak to them all that I command.

Speaker B:

And whoever does not listen to my words, that he speaks my name, I myself will require it of him.

Speaker B:

Folks, that promised prophet is Jesus Christ.

Speaker B:

Every word he spoke came straight from the Father's heart.

Speaker B:

Today we're going to walk through the lives of Moses and Elijah and then end up at Jesus.

Speaker B:

And why in this critical hour, the pure red letter words of Jesus must rise again.

Speaker B:

Because this generation, folks, does not need another interpretation.

Speaker B:

It needs the voice of the Son of God.

Speaker B:

So let's look at Moses.

Speaker B:

Chosen, protected and delivered.

Speaker B:

Because when God ordains a deliverer, the forces of darkness immediately rise to destroy.

Speaker B:

From the moment Moses drew his first breath, Satan stirred Pharaoh's heart to stomp him out.

Speaker B:

A death sentence loomed over every Hebrew male child.

Speaker B:

A royal decree meant to drown the future of God's people.

Speaker B:

In the Nile, the enemy thought he could kill a move of God by murdering the babies.

Speaker B:

But the Nile, intended to be Moses grave, became actually his highway into destiny.

Speaker B:

The very waters meant for death became the vehicle God used to deliver his chosen servant into the hands of royalty.

Speaker B:

In Exodus chapter two, we read that Moses mother Jochebed crafted a small ark of bulrushes, placed her infant son into the river's currents.

Speaker B:

Pharaoh's own daughter discovered him and moved with compassion, raised Moses as her own child.

Speaker B:

Moses grew up in the courts of the very king who sought to destroy him.

Speaker B:

Learning the languages of empires, mastering the systems of leadership, understanding the structures of nations.

Speaker B:

Pharaoh could not kill him.

Speaker B:

The empire of Egypt, with all its gods and all its power, could not thwart the plans God had spoken over a weeping mother's prayers.

Speaker B:

Moses thrived under Pharaoh's roof, trained in the wisdom of Egypt, even as God's greater wisdom quietly formed within him.

Speaker B:

The Book of Acts tells us in chapter seven, verses 22 or so, that Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in both speech and actions.

Speaker B:

But earthly education alone was not enough for a heavenly calling.

Speaker B:

Moses, in his own strength, tried to bring justice and ended up slaying an Egyptian who oppressed his people.

Speaker B:

But his actions were premature.

Speaker B:

The wilderness became his next teacher.

Speaker B:

Driven into exile, Moses fled into the barren lands of Midian.

Speaker B:

There he exchanged a prince's robes for a shepherd's staff, living forgotten among the sheep for 40 years.

Speaker B:

The wilderness, however, could not kill Moses either.

Speaker B:

The desert that should have broken him only shaped him.

Speaker B:

Each lonely night under those stars, each hard earned day in the dust, molded Moses into a vessel that could carry not just his own dreams, but the burden of a nation.

Speaker B:

When the time was right, God met Moses in the burning bush.

Speaker B:

Praise God.

Speaker B:

It was not a call whispered in luxury, but one shouted from fire in the midst of emptiness.

Speaker B:

In Exodus chapter 3, the voice of the I am pierced Moses hiddenness, commanding him to return to the place he'd fled from and confront the power that once raised him.

Speaker B:

But Moses protested right.

Speaker B:

He said he was slow of speech, that he's unqualified, that he was afraid.

Speaker B:

All these excuses.

Speaker B:

But God answered him in Exodus 4:12 with words that still thunder forth today.

Speaker B:

Now go.

Speaker B:

I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.

Speaker B:

It was never about Moses ability.

Speaker B:

It was always about God's sufficiency.

Speaker B:

It wasn't about the man's eloquence, but about the presence of the Almighty.

Speaker B:

With him armed with nothing but a promise and that shepherd's staff, Moses returned to Egypt.

Speaker B:

And he stood toe to toe with Pharaoh, the God, king of the most powerful nation on the earth.

Speaker B:

And at the command of God, Moses unleashed signs and wonders that shook the foundation of Egypt's demonic power.

Speaker B:

He turned the Nile river into blood.

Speaker B:

He called forth plagues of flesh, frogs, gnats, flies, locusts, boils, hail, darkness and death.

Speaker B:

Each judgment tore down a false God of Egypt, proving that the Lord alone is God.

Speaker B:

When Pharaoh's resistance finally broke, under the death of the firstborn, Moses led the children of Israel out of that bondage at the Red Sea.

Speaker B:

When now death once again seems certain, Moses stretched out his hand as the Lord commanded, and the waters split in two.

Speaker B:

Israel walked through on dry ground.

Speaker B:

And when Pharaoh's armies tried to chase them, they were swallowed up in the very sea they thought would grant them victory.

Speaker B:

The desert became the proving ground for Moses leadership at Mount Sinai.

Speaker B:

Amidst the fire and the thunder, Moses received the law, the holy standard by which God would shape his people.

Speaker B:

Exodus:

Speaker B:

Moses was the mediator between God and Israel.

Speaker B:

He stood in the gap when the people rebelled, pleading for their forgiveness after the golden calf incident and turning away the wrath of Almighty God.

Speaker B:

Scripture testifies in Exodus:

Speaker B:

Yet even Moses, for all his faithfulness, was still human at Meribah, when he was instructed to speak to the rock for water.

Speaker B:

Instead, he struck it out of frustration because of that act of disobedience.

Speaker B:

Numbers 20, verse 12 records that God told Moses he would not enter the promised land.

Speaker B:

Even so, Moses relationship with God remained unmatched.

Speaker B:

Deuteronomy 34.

Speaker B:

7 tells us that at the age of 120, Moses eyes were undimmed and his vigor unabated.

Speaker B:

There was no fading, no frailty, no slow death for the servant of God.

Speaker B:

Moses climbed Mount Nebo under his own strength, gazed across the Jordan to the land he had labored for his whole life for, but would not be able to enter there alone with God.

Speaker B:

Moses died.

Speaker B:

Scripture says the Lord himself buried him in the valley of Moab, in a grave no man would ever be able to find.

Speaker B:

Deuteronomy 34:6 states simply, he buried him.

Speaker B:

But those three words carry a depth few people can comprehend.

Speaker B:

The hands that shaped the stars carried the body of his faithful servant to rest.

Speaker B:

No earthly funeral could honor him properly.

Speaker B:

Only heaven could do justice to a life like Moses.

Speaker B:

Yet even in death, death could not silence the importance of Moses life.

Speaker B:

Jude 1:9 gives us a mysterious glimpse into what happened after Moses death.

Speaker B:

It says, Michael the Archangel contended with the devil over the body of Moses, Refusing to bring a slanderous accusation, but instead declaring, the Lord will rebuke you.

Speaker B:

Why would Satan fight for a dead man's body?

Speaker B:

Do you ever think about that?

Speaker B:

Because Moses body, like his life, still mattered in the divine plan.

Speaker B:

If Satan could corrupt or claim or desecrate Moses, he could attempt to thwart something critical God had ordained for the future.

Speaker B:

Moses body was preserved by God for a reason.

Speaker B:

Because throughout all scripture, Moses remains a figure unlike any other.

Speaker B:

A man who had spoken face to face with God.

Speaker B:

A man whose life and death were so saturated with divine purpose that even hell could not lay hold on him.

Speaker B:

Moses mission is not finished, folks.

Speaker B:

Think about it.

Speaker B:

The thread of his life weaves into prophecy that's yet to be fulfilled.

Speaker B:

The same Moses who led Israel out of Egypt, who delivered the law, who stood between a holy God and a sinful people, will stand one more time.

Speaker B:

The final chapters of history have not yet been written.

Speaker B:

But when they unfold, the servant God called from the burning bush will rise again as a witness to the nations.

Speaker B:

The final chapters of history specifically talk about how Moses will preach the gospel in the last Days with another great prophet, Elijah.

Speaker B:

That's the fire of the prophets.

Speaker B:

Because if Moses was the towering figure of the law, then Elijah was the blazing fire of the prophets.

Speaker B:

He didn't come from a palace.

Speaker B:

He didn't grow up in Pharaoh's court or hold the credentials of worldly wisdom.

Speaker B:

Elijah the Tishbite appeared suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere.

Speaker B:

In the days of King Ahab of Israel, Ahab, under the influence of his wife Jezebel, had led the nation into deep idolatry.

Speaker B:

Forsaking the commandments of God, they went to worship BAAL and Asherah, Israel.

Speaker B:

Once the people of the covenant had turned their hearts to false gods, wickedness reigned in the land.

Speaker B:

Kind of like the world we live in today, isn't it?

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

And in that dark hour, God raised up a man of fire.

Speaker B:

Elijah's very name means my God is Yahweh, a living declaration against the counterfeit gods of the age.

Speaker B:

When Elijah stepped onto the scene, he carried with him the unshakable authority.

Speaker B:

Authority of heaven.

Speaker B:

In First Kings, chapter 17, verse 1, Elijah confronted Ahab.

Speaker B:

With terrifying boldness.

Speaker B:

He proclaimed as the Lord, the God of Israel lives before whom I stand.

Speaker B:

There'll be neither dew nor rain these years except by my word.

Speaker B:

Basically, he's telling the king, king, it ain't gonna rain till I say so.

Speaker B:

See ya.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

And just as he declared, the heavens dried up and famine gripped the land.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

Elijah's life.

Speaker B:

I love studying Elijah.

Speaker B:

Elijah's life was not one of comfort or applause either.

Speaker B:

The drought he prophesied affected him, too.

Speaker B:

God sent him to the brook Kith, where he drank from the brook and was fed by ravens, a humbling reliance on the supernatural for daily survival.

Speaker B:

When the brook dried up, God sent him to Zarephath, where a starving widow and her son were gathering sticks to cook their last supper.

Speaker B:

Yet Elijah, full of divine confidence, asked her for some bread first.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

In First Kings:

Speaker B:

And that woman believed.

Speaker B:

And the miracle unfolded just as Elijah said.

Speaker B:

Day after day after day, provision flowed from the hands of God to sustain sustained them all.

Speaker B:

Even when her son later fell sick and died, Elijah stretched himself over the boy and cried to the Lord three times.

Speaker B:

The child's life returned.

Speaker B:

But Elijah's greatest confrontation was still ahead.

Speaker B:

Because the nation needed more than miracles of provision.

Speaker B:

It needed the fire of repentance.

Speaker B:

And one of the most dramatic moments in all of Scripture, Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal to a showdown on Mount Carmel.

Speaker B:

First Kings 18 describes the scene with breathtaking tension.

Speaker B:

Elijah stood alone, facing 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah.

Speaker B:

He called the people near and laid out the challenge.

Speaker B:

The God who answers by fire should be recognized as the true God.

Speaker B:

And all the people said, okay, let's see what happens.

Speaker B:

While the prophets of baal, they cried out from morning till new scripture says, even cutting themselves, shouting louder.

Speaker B:

But no fire fell.

Speaker B:

There was nothing but silence.

Speaker B:

Then Elijah repaired the broken altar of the lord.

Speaker B:

He stacked 12 stones representing the 12 tribes of Israel.

Speaker B:

He drenched the offering and the wood with water.

Speaker B:

Water was very precious in that because the drought was still going on.

Speaker B:

And then he had a trench filled around the altar with water.

Speaker B:

There were no tricks, no human manipulation, only a miracle to be able to ignite this sacrifice.

Speaker B:

What happened?

Speaker B:

Elijah prayed a simple but powerful prayer.

Speaker B:

In First Kings 18, verse 36, 37, he said, O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today you are God in Israel, that I am your servant, and I've done all these things at your word.

Speaker B:

What happened?

Speaker B:

Immediately, fire fell from heaven.

Speaker B:

It consumed the sacrifice, the wood, the stones, the water.

Speaker B:

It consumed even the dust around it.

Speaker B:

Immediately the people fell on their faces, crying, the Lord Jehovah, he is God.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

Praise God.

Speaker B:

In that moment, the heart of a nation turned back to the Lord.

Speaker B:

Elijah seized the false prophets and executed judgment, purging the land of their wickedness.

Speaker B:

Yet even in victory, Elijah faced deep discouragement.

Speaker B:

Jezebel swore to kill him.

Speaker B:

So Elijah fled into the wilderness, now once again feeling overwhelmed and afraid.

Speaker B:

And he sat under a tree and prayed that he might die, saying in First Kings 19:4, it's enough, Lord, take away my life.

Speaker B:

I'm no better than my father.

Speaker B:

The man who had called fire down from heaven now wrestled with despair.

Speaker B:

But God did not abandon his prophet, did he?

Speaker B:

An angel touched Elijah, woke him up, fed him, strengthening him for the journey that lied ahead.

Speaker B:

Elijah traveled another 40 days and nights to Mount Horeb, which is called the Mountain of God.

Speaker B:

There, hiding in a cave, Elijah encountered the Lord.

Speaker B:

Not in the wind, not in the earthquake, not even in the fire, but in a still, small voice.

Speaker B:

God was teaching Elijah that his power is not always displayed in dramatic signs, but it's often in the quiet whisper, just of his presence.

Speaker B:

Elijah's mission was not finished.

Speaker B:

He was being promoted.

Speaker B:

He just didn't recognize it yet.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

God instructed him now to to Go anoint new kings to call Elisha as his successor.

Speaker B:

Elijah's life would not end in ordinary death either.

Speaker B:

As recorded in Second Kings, chapter 2, Elijah was taken up to heaven in a whirlwind.

Speaker B:

Escorted by chariots and horses of fire, he crossed the Jordan river with Elisha, striking the waters with his cloak.

Speaker B:

So they parted, and suddenly, I said, as they walked and talked, the chariots appeared and Elijah was gone.

Speaker B:

Elisha watched as Elijah was caught up and cried out, my father.

Speaker B:

My father.

Speaker B:

The chariots of Israel, their horsemen.

Speaker B:

And Elijah disappeared into the clouds.

Speaker B:

And then his mantle fell back to earth to Elisha, a symbol that his prophetic authority had now passed to the next generation.

Speaker B:

Elijah's story is one of fierce loyalty to God.

Speaker B:

In the midst of war, widespread rebellion.

Speaker B:

I mean, he stood alone against an entire culture of idolatry and compromise.

Speaker B:

He burned like a torch when the darkness seemed overwhelming.

Speaker B:

Elijah's prophetic role in the it's not confined to ancient history, because his life points forward as well.

Speaker B:

In Malachi, chapter four, verse five, the Lord promised, behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.

Speaker B:

Jesus himself referred to John the Baptist as the one who came in the spirit and power of Elijah, preparing the way for the Messiah.

Speaker B:

Yet many scholars, and I believe this too, see Elijah literally returning again before the end times.

Speaker B:

scribed who will prophesy for:

Speaker B:

They'll call down fire, they'll shut up the heavens, they'll strike the earth with plagues, powers that match the ministries of Moses and Elijah.

Speaker B:

Think about it.

Speaker B:

After completing their testimony, they'll be killed by the beast, their bodies lying in the streets of the great city.

Speaker B:

But after three and a half days, they'll be resurrected and in the sight of all, taken up to heaven.

Speaker B:

Elijah's story, his fiery zeal, will burn one more time before the coming of the king.

Speaker B:

Because his life teaches us that boldness for God is never wasted, even when it feels lonely.

Speaker B:

It shows us that obedience matters more than popularity, that God honors those who remain faithful.

Speaker B:

When others give up and bow to idols, Elijah reminds us that he even the fiercest warriors can sometimes feel weak.

Speaker B:

But God does not abandon his servants in their valleys.

Speaker B:

The same fire that consumed the sacrifice on Mount Carmel still burns in the hearts of those who dare to stand for the truth.

Speaker B:

We're living in days much like those of Elijah, because evil is being celebrated.

Speaker B:

Truth is being mocked.

Speaker B:

The name of the Lord is treated with contempt.

Speaker B:

But folks, God is still raising up voices today.

Speaker B:

He's still calling for men and women who will stand at their own Mount Caramel and declare the Lord he is our God.

Speaker B:

He's still sending the spirit and power of Elijah into a world desperate for repentance.

Speaker B:

Elijah's fire is not history.

Speaker B:

It's prophecy.

Speaker B:

And in these last days, it is once again igniting hearts to prepare for the way of the Lord.

Speaker B:

Now let's fast forward a bit to the end times, possibly the days and times we are about to witness right now, because you get Moses and Elijah together in the Law and the Prophets.

Speaker B:

Throughout the history of redemption, two towering figures stand side by side across the pages of Scripture.

Speaker B:

Moses and Elijah.

Speaker B:

They represent two great streams of God's revelation to mankind, referred to as the Law and the Prophets.

Speaker B:

Together they formed a full council of God, testifying to his holiness and his justice, his mercy and his faithfulness.

Speaker B:

Moses stood as the deliverer of the law.

Speaker B:

From the burning bush at Horeb to the thunder and smoke of Mount Sinai, he carried the commandments of God to the people.

Speaker B:

He was given the written code that established a holy nation, a people set apart for the Lord's purposes.

Speaker B:

Exodus, chapter 20.

Speaker B:

God Himself spoke the Ten Commandments directly to the assembly of Israel.

Speaker B:

But it was Moses who went up on the mountain to receive the tablets carved by the finger of God.

Speaker B:

Moses taught the people how to live in covenant relationship with their Maker.

Speaker B:

Through him, God revealed not only moral laws, but but civil and ceremonial laws too, shaping the very fabric of Israel's national identity.

Speaker B:

The law was not given to burden the people with, but to bless them.

Speaker B:

It was to be a guide to righteousness, a mirror reflecting the perfection of a holy God and the desperate need of sinful humanity for redemption.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

It revealed God's standard.

Speaker B:

And in doing that, it exposed man's inability to meet that standard apart from divine mercy.

Speaker B:

Yet the Law alone was not the full story the Law instructed.

Speaker B:

But when the people drifted away, when their hearts grew cold and hard, God sent prophets to call them back.

Speaker B:

And Elijah rose like a flame.

Speaker B:

In the midst of such spiritual decay, he didn't deliver a new law.

Speaker B:

He summoned the people back to the law they'd forsaken.

Speaker B:

Elijah's fiery ministry was a living sermon of repentance.

Speaker B:

He cried out against idolatry and injustice and spiritual compromise.

Speaker B:

He called kings to account.

Speaker B:

He challenged false prophets.

Speaker B:

He declared without apology that the Lord alone was God.

Speaker B:

Together, Moses and Elijah embody the complete revelation of God's demands and God's appeals.

Speaker B:

Moses lays down the expectation.

Speaker B:

Elijah calls the people back when they abandon it.

Speaker B:

When Jesus walked this earth, he referred often to what the law and the prophets.

Speaker B:

Matthew, chapter 5, verse 17.

Speaker B:

Turn over there.

Speaker B:

Matthew 5:17.

Speaker B:

He declared, do not think that I have come to abolish the law of the prophets, but I've come to fulfill them.

Speaker B:

Jesus was the living fulfillment of all that Moses commanded and all that Elijah proclaimed.

Speaker B:

The law showed the need for righteousness.

Speaker B:

The prophets called for repentance and restoration.

Speaker B:

Jesus provided both perfect righteousness and final redemption.

Speaker B:

It's no coincidence, folks, that when Jesus was transfigured before Peter, James and John in Matthew 17, who was there?

Speaker B:

The two men who appeared beside him were Moses and Elijah.

Speaker B:

On that mountain shimmering with divine glory, the disciples saw the law and the prophets standing right next to the one who fulfilled them.

Speaker B:

Both Moses and Elijah were not merely historical figures attending a divine event.

Speaker B:

They were living witnesses that all of God's revelation pointed to to Jesus Christ.

Speaker B:

Their presence was a cosmic testimony that the story of redemption was reaching its critical point.

Speaker B:

Peter, overwhelmed and confused, offered to build three shelters, One for Jesus, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

Speaker B:

Tabernacles.

Speaker B:

But before he could finish speaking, a bright cloud surrounded them, and the voice of God thundered from heaven, saying, this is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

Speaker B:

Listen to him.

Speaker B:

The message could not have been clear.

Speaker B:

Moses, the great lawgiver and Elijah, the fiery prophet both stepped back, and only Jesus remains.

Speaker B:

Hey, man, don't shut me down.

Speaker B:

I'm preaching.

Speaker B:

Good.

Speaker B:

The Father was declaring that while the law and the prophets bore witness, Jesus was the Word made flesh.

Speaker B:

No longer would men look to stone tablets or fiery proclamations alone.

Speaker B:

Now they would look to the sun.

Speaker B:

The law had prepared the way.

Speaker B:

The prophets had announced the way.

Speaker B:

Jesus is now the way.

Speaker B:

Yet the relationship between Moses and Elijah does not end on that mountaintop.

Speaker B:

They're not merely past figures now confirming Jesus identity.

Speaker B:

They reappear in the final chapters of human history as part of God's last great call to repentance before the return of the King.

Speaker B:

In Revelation, chapter 11, two witnesses are described who will prophesy during the dark days of the Great Tribulation.

Speaker B:

They will stand against the Antichrist.

Speaker B:

They will perform miracles strikingly similar to those associated with who Moses and Elijah.

Speaker B:

One will have the power to shut up the sky so it does not rain, echoing Elijah's command during the days of Ahab.

Speaker B:

The other will have authority to Turn water into blood and strike the earth with all different kinds of plagues, calling Moses miracles in Egypt.

Speaker B:

For:

Speaker B:

They'll be hated by the entire world, hunted by evil, but empowered by heaven.

Speaker B:

Eventually they will be killed by the beast that rises from the abyss.

Speaker B:

Their bodies will lie out in the streets of the great city Jerusalem spiritually call Sodom and Egypt and the world will celebrate their death.

Speaker B:

But that's not the end of the story.

Speaker B:

Because after three and a half days, the breath of life from God will enter into them.

Speaker B:

They will stand up on their feet, terrifying everyone around them.

Speaker B:

And a voice from heaven will call them up and they will ascend in a cloud in the sight of everyone, their enemies watching.

Speaker B:

The law and the prophets embodied once more in Moses and Elijah will testify one final time to the greatness of God.

Speaker B:

Their witness will proceed the final judgments of God and the ultimate victory of Jesus Christ.

Speaker B:

Folks, this is not mythology, it's not symbolism, it's prophecy.

Speaker B:

As sure as the rising of the sun tomorrow morning.

Speaker B:

The same Moses who stood trembling before the burning bush, the same Elijah who called down fire on Mount Carmel, they will stand once again clothed in the power of God, calling a rebellious world to repent.

Speaker B:

Their lives are intertwined so tightly because they both point beyond themselves to the one who fulfills it all.

Speaker B:

Moses shows the impossibility of attaining righteousness apart from divine intervention.

Speaker B:

Elijah reveals the urgency of repentance in the face of rebellion in the world.

Speaker B:

Jesus fulfills both demands.

Speaker B:

He satisfies the law by living a sinless life.

Speaker B:

And he answers the prophets by offering forgiveness to those who turn back to him.

Speaker B:

Moses prepared the way by defining righteousness.

Speaker B:

Elijah prepared the way by demanding repentance.

Speaker B:

Jesus is the way, offering redemption through his blood.

Speaker B:

Today, many in church forget the weight of that kind of witness.

Speaker B:

We're quick to celebrate grace, but slow to acknowledge the demands of holiness.

Speaker B:

We love to talk about blessing, but hesitate to mention the call to repentance.

Speaker B:

Yet the law and the prophets still speak today.

Speaker B:

They still echo across time, remind us that salvation is not cheap, that grace is not permission for sin, and that the cross was necessary because sin is deadly.

Speaker B:

When we see Moses and Elijah standing with Jesus at the transfiguration, it is heaven's declaration that Jesus completes what they began.

Speaker B:

He is the fulfillment.

Speaker B:

He is the embodiment.

Speaker B:

He is the very voice of God made flesh.

Speaker B:

When we see Moses and Elijah again in Revelation, that's God's Final appeal to a world teetering on the edge of judgment.

Speaker B:

It's not the voice of condemnation.

Speaker B:

It's the voice of mercy.

Speaker B:

Shouting one last time.

Speaker B:

Repent.

Speaker B:

Turn back to the Lord.

Speaker B:

The law without Jesus leaves men condemned.

Speaker B:

The prophets without Jesus leaves men desperate.

Speaker B:

But Jesus brings life to the law and hope to the prophets.

Speaker B:

He is the fulfillment and the finisher.

Speaker B:

He is the alpha and the omega.

Speaker B:

He.

Speaker B:

He is the first and the last.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

And soon, very soon, the world will once again see Moses and Elijah standing on the earth.

Speaker B:

And they will proclaim the truth without apology.

Speaker B:

Every eye will be forced to choose to bow before the Lord or to resist the Lord to their own destruction.

Speaker B:

This is the testimony of the law and the prophets.

Speaker B:

This is the testimony of Moses and Elijah.

Speaker B:

This is the testimony of Jesus Christ, the son of the living God.

Speaker B:

This is the testimony we must carry boldly into this world while there's still time.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

Shout Amen.

Speaker B:

Somebody somewhere praise God.

Speaker B:

You didn't shout amen right there, man.

Speaker B:

Your wood's wet.

Speaker B:

Praise God.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

Hallelujah.

Speaker B:

All right, I want to take these last few minutes now.

Speaker B:

Because Moses was revered as the greatest prophet Israel ever known, he'd spoken face to face with God.

Speaker B:

He performed miracles and delivered the law and shaped the identity of a nation.

Speaker B:

Yet Moses himself said, there's one coming greater than me.

Speaker B:

One who would not simply deliver words about God, but would speak the very words of God himself, with no veil, no separation.

Speaker B:

One whose very breath, every teaching, every command would carry the full authority of heaven.

Speaker B:

Notice the language God used.

Speaker B:

I will put my words in his mouth.

Speaker B:

Not suggestions, not interpretations.

Speaker B:

Pure, unfiltered, undiluted truth from the throne of heaven spoken through the mouth of.

Speaker B:

Of a man.

Speaker B:

And God made it clear.

Speaker B:

Ignoring this prophet that's coming would not be a matter of indifference.

Speaker B:

It would be a matter of eternal consequences.

Speaker B:

He says, whoever does not listen to my words, that he shall speak.

Speaker B:

I myself will require it of him.

Speaker B:

To refuse this coming prophet would be to refuse God himself.

Speaker B:

To turn away from his words would be to invite judgment from the very one who spoke the entire world into existence.

Speaker B:

For centuries, Israel waited for this coming prophet.

Speaker B:

They long for the day when he would come.

Speaker B:

Every faithful Jewish heart beat with the hope that the promise given through Moses would one day be fulfilled.

Speaker B:

And when John the Baptist began his ministry, it was so impactful.

Speaker B:

The priests and the Levites came to him in John, chapter one, verse 20, said, hey, are you the prophet?

Speaker B:

They weren't just referring to any prophet.

Speaker B:

They were asking if John was the one Moses had promised the final prophet.

Speaker B:

The one who would speak God's words directly to them.

Speaker B:

John answered, no, I am not.

Speaker B:

Because the prophet they were waiting for was already among them.

Speaker B:

And soon he'd be revealed.

Speaker B:

Jesus of Nazareth, born of a virgin, raised in obscurity, filled with the spirit beyond measure, stepped into history as the fulfillment of Moses ancient promise.

Speaker B:

He didn't come simply to teach about God.

Speaker B:

He came to reveal God himself.

Speaker B:

, I think it is verse:

Speaker B:

Jesus declared with stunning clarity, I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment what to say and what to speak.

Speaker B:

And I know his commandment is eternal life.

Speaker B:

What I say, therefore I say as the Father has told me.

Speaker B:

Every word from Jesus lips was the exact word the Father had commanded him to speak.

Speaker B:

No more, no less.

Speaker B:

No embellishments, no omissions.

Speaker B:

When Jesus spoke, heaven spoke.

Speaker B:

When Jesus taught, the Father was teaching.

Speaker B:

When Jesus warned people, the throne of judgment was thundering, Jesus was.

Speaker B:

Jesus is still is.

Speaker B:

The living fulfillment of Deuteronomy 18, verse 18 and 19.

Speaker B:

He is the prophet Moses promised.

Speaker B:

He is the voice that demands a response from every soul honor.

Speaker B:

And he made it unmistakably clear that ignoring his words would not go unnoticed.

Speaker B:

John:

Speaker B:

Jesus warned, the one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge already.

Speaker B:

The word that I've spoken, that's what will judge him in the last day.

Speaker B:

There'll be no courtroom debates on this.

Speaker B:

There'll be no plea bargains on this.

Speaker B:

No protesting, no appeals to find friendly judges to intervene.

Speaker B:

Nope.

Speaker B:

On the day of judgment, the words Jesus spoke, the red letter words rooted in scripture, they will rise as the standard against which every person is measured.

Speaker B:

If it was your life hanging in the balance of the judgment of eternity today, right now, what would your life be like when compared to the red letter words which Jesus spoke?

Speaker B:

That's a scary thought, isn't it?

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

It will not matter what a man accomplishes.

Speaker B:

It doesn't matter how many accolades he has earned or how sincere his intentions were.

Speaker B:

The only thing that will matter is this.

Speaker B:

Did he listen to the words of the Son of God?

Speaker B:

The seriousness of Moses, his prophecy cannot be overstated.

Speaker B:

He was not offering an optional upgrade to the religious experience of Israel.

Speaker B:

He was warning that the covenant relationship itself would hinge on the acceptance or the rejection of this coming prophet.

Speaker B:

And they failed.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

To disregard the law of Moses brought earthly consequences in this regard, the Word made flesh, brings eternal consequences.

Speaker B:

Just think about that.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

In the past, God's voice came in fragments, visions, dreams, whispers, through human vessels.

Speaker B:

But now, in the fullness of time, God has spoken completely and finally through His Son.

Speaker B:

There will be no second Messiah.

Speaker B:

There'll be no new Gospel.

Speaker B:

Jesus is not one voice among many.

Speaker B:

He is the final and ultimate Word from God to mankind.

Speaker B:

That's who he is.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

His teachings are not suggestions.

Speaker B:

They're not philosophical musings open to private interpretations.

Speaker B:

They are divine declarations demanding surrender, demanding obedience and demanding reverence.

Speaker B:

The red letter words of Jesus are the very heart of the Father revealed on earth.

Speaker B:

They carry the power to save or to condemn, to heal or to harden, to bring life or pronounce death.

Speaker B:

Moses prophecy draws a line all across history.

Speaker B:

On one side stand those who hear the words of Jesus and believe.

Speaker B:

On the other side stand those who hear and reject what Jesus has to say.

Speaker B:

The stakes cannot be higher.

Speaker B:

The clock can't be closer to midnight than it is right now.

Speaker B:

Today, just as in the days of Moses, a choice is set before us.

Speaker B:

To listen or to turn away, to obey or to resist.

Speaker B:

But know this, folks.

Speaker B:

The words have already been spoken.

Speaker B:

The standard has already been set.

Speaker B:

The prophet has already come.

Speaker B:

The voice that spoke from Sinai now speaks through the red letters of the Gospels.

Speaker B:

The command that that thundered through Moses now pleads through the blood of Christ.

Speaker B:

The urgency Moses felt as he looked across the Jordan is the same urgency that stirs the heart of every true believer today.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

There's no other way around it.

Speaker B:

There's no other name.

Speaker B:

There is no other message except Jesus.

Speaker B:

Jesus is the fulfillment of Moses's prophecy.

Speaker B:

That's the way it is.

Speaker B:

He's the voice we need to hear.

Speaker B:

He's the Word we must obey.

Speaker B:

For in him alone is life, and in him alone is salvation.

Speaker B:

John, chapter 12 again, 49 and 50.

Speaker B:

Jesus says without apology, I have not spoken of my own authority.

Speaker B:

The Father who sent me has given me a commandment what to say and what to speak.

Speaker B:

And I know his commandment is eternal life.

Speaker B:

What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.

Speaker B:

Jesus didn't speak this on his own authority because he and the Father are one.

Speaker B:

John 10, verse 30, I think it is.

Speaker B:

It records that he says, I and the Father are one.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

This unity meant that hearing Jesus was hearing the Father.

Speaker B:

Seeing Jesus was seeing the Father.

Speaker B:

Obeying Jesus was obeying the Father.

Speaker B:

He even told Philip when Philip asked Jesus to show him the Father.

Speaker B:

That'd be enough for us to believe.

Speaker B:

He said, you've seen me, you've seen the Father.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

Praise God.

Speaker B:

Hallelujah.

Speaker B:

Yet in all his mercy, Jesus warned us of the seriousness of our response to his voice.

Speaker B:

John, chapter 12, verse 48.

Speaker B:

The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge already.

Speaker B:

The word that I have spoken, that's what's going to judge him on the last day.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

That's what Jesus said, will judge you on the last day.

Speaker B:

The words he's spoken, it's not about religious tradition.

Speaker B:

This is a divine, legal reality.

Speaker B:

When Jesus spoke, he did not speculate.

Speaker B:

He didn't offer theories.

Speaker B:

He spoke judgments and promises.

Speaker B:

He spoke warnings and blessings.

Speaker B:

He spoke life and death all wrapped up in the perfect the Father.

Speaker B:

He's not merely a good teacher.

Speaker B:

He's not merely an inspired prophet.

Speaker B:

He is the prophet Moses foretold.

Speaker B:

He is the Son of the living God.

Speaker B:

He is the full and final revelation of all the Father desires mankind to hear.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

Praise God.

Speaker B:

Now, in these last few minutes that I have, I want to share with you my personal story and how that all relates.

Speaker B:

Because I've not always seen what I see now in the Scriptures.

Speaker B:

I've not always heard the voice of God as clearly as I hear it now.

Speaker B:

I've walked through years where the heavens felt silent, the wilderness seemed endless.

Speaker B:

This is our 30th, my 30th year in ministry.

Speaker B:

And for over 30 years now, I've preached the Gospel.

Speaker B:

I've studied, I've prayed, I've fasted.

Speaker B:

I sought the face of God.

Speaker B:

I've tasted the sweetness of victory and the bitterness of disappointment.

Speaker B:

There were days when the doors were wide open and the favor of God was obvious.

Speaker B:

There were nights when I wondered if I'd missed it all somehow, if I'd failed the very one that I loved the most.

Speaker B:

There were seasons when finances dried up, when friends disappeared, when the only thing I could cling to was the unshakable word of God.

Speaker B:

30 years of standing.

Speaker B:

Wouldn't have been easier just to go sit down.

Speaker B:

30 years of believing when every circumstance screamed otherwise.

Speaker B:

30 years of learning, sometimes the hard way.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

That God's faithful even when I'm weak and not.

Speaker B:

I have known what it means to hear his whisper in the dark.

Speaker B:

I've learned what it feels like to walk forward when no light is shining on the path ahead.

Speaker B:

I've discovered that obedience often comes with a price.

Speaker B:

But the reward is the Smile of heaven.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

Through every twist and every turn, one thing has become undeniable.

Speaker B:

God wastes nothing.

Speaker B:

Every trial, every mistake, every tear has been a tool in his land, shaping a vessel that's fit for his purpose.

Speaker B:

And now, after 30 years, I him saying, now, Bob, you're ready.

Speaker B:

Not because I perfected myself.

Speaker B:

No.

Speaker B:

But because he has prepared me.

Speaker B:

Not because I've earned it.

Speaker B:

Absolutely not.

Speaker B:

But because his grace has carried me to this point.

Speaker B:

I've been called for such a time as this.

Speaker B:

Not to proclaim another watered down version of the gospel.

Speaker B:

Not to entertain crowds with clever speeches.

Speaker B:

I've been called to proclaim the red letter words of Jesus Christ himself.

Speaker B:

Clear, undiluted, uncompromising.

Speaker B:

The world does not need another opinion.

Speaker B:

The church does not need another trend.

Speaker B:

The nations do not need another spiritual fad that fades with the next few news cycles.

Speaker B:

They need the pure, burning, living words of the Son of God.

Speaker B:

They need to hear again the voice that created the heavens and calls the dead back to life.

Speaker B:

Jesus is not just another chapter in history.

Speaker B:

He is the fulfillment of every prophecy, the embodiment of every promise.

Speaker B:

The final word of God to mankind.

Speaker B:

And his relentless words are the standard which every soul will be judged.

Speaker B:

We already read that.

Speaker B:

Moses pointed forward to him.

Speaker B:

Elijah cried out for him.

Speaker B:

The law and the prophets stand beside him.

Speaker B:

He's the one to whom all history bows.

Speaker B:

And he's still speaking today.

Speaker B:

This time, this assignment.

Speaker B:

This assignment is bigger than anything I can do alone.

Speaker B:

This time God is not just asking me to preach another sermon.

Speaker B:

He's calling me to be part of igniting a movement.

Speaker B:

A movement that will lift up the red letter words of Jesus to every corner of this world.

Speaker B:

A movement that will tear down the idols of opinion and tradition and compromise.

Speaker B:

A movement that will call the church back to the purity of the voice of Christ.

Speaker B:

The time's short.

Speaker B:

The harvest is ripe.

Speaker B:

The urgency of heaven is thundering across the earth.

Speaker B:

There's no more time for playing church.

Speaker B:

There's no more time for delaying obedience.

Speaker B:

There's no more time for halfway Christianity.

Speaker B:

Jesus said in John 12, verse 14, the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

Speaker B:

We're not judged by religious labels or denominational preferences.

Speaker B:

We are judged by whether we have heard and obeyed the words of the Son.

Speaker B:

Folks, we can't do this without your help.

Speaker B:

I can't reach the world alone.

Speaker B:

This is not a solo mission.

Speaker B:

It is a call for the body of Christ.

Speaker B:

I need believers who will stand with me.

Speaker B:

I need warriors who will sow, who will sin, who will pray, who will labor alongside me and Reverend Terry Christian.

Speaker B:

We need those who see this is not about another ministry.

Speaker B:

It's about fulfilling a divine assignment before it's too late.

Speaker B:

Imagine a generation saturated in the red letter words of Jesus.

Speaker B:

Imagine a church revived not by emotions, but by the truth.

Speaker B:

Imagine the lost hearing the voice of Christ in a way they cannot deny.

Speaker B:

That's the vision.

Speaker B:

This is the call.

Speaker B:

This is the moment.

Speaker B:

I'm inviting you.

Speaker B:

No, I'm.

Speaker B:

I'm urging you.

Speaker B:

Be part of this movement.

Speaker B:

Not tomorrow.

Speaker B:

That one is more convenient right now.

Speaker B:

Today, while the door of grace still stands open.

Speaker B:

There's many things you could invest your time in.

Speaker B:

Your prayers, your resources, different things you do, those with.

Speaker B:

But few things matter more than lifting up the unfiltered voice of Jesus to a world that's on the brink of destruction.

Speaker B:

Few things are more urgent than helping fulfill the prophecy that Moses gave, the warnings Elijah thundered and the commission Jesus himself commanded.

Speaker B:

This is not building a platform for a man.

Speaker B:

It's about exalting the name of the Son of God.

Speaker B:

This is about gathering followers.

Speaker B:

It's about calling pragiels home.

Speaker B:

This is not about earthly success.

Speaker B:

It's about having an eternal impact.

Speaker B:

I don't know how much time we have left, but I know it's less than it was yesterday.

Speaker B:

And I know that every single day wasted is a soul unreached, a heart untouched, and a life left in darkness.

Speaker B:

Together, folks, we can change that.

Speaker B:

Together, we can lift up the red letter words until every ear has heard.

Speaker B:

Together, we can declare the final word of God with boldness and compassion and fire.

Speaker B:

If you hear the spirit right now stirring your heart right now, don't ignore that.

Speaker B:

If you feel the tug to join this mission, do not delay.

Speaker B:

If you recognize that you were born for more than comfort and survival, now is your moment to step forward.

Speaker B:

Join with us.

Speaker B:

Stand with us.

Speaker B:

Fight for the souls Jesus died to save.

Speaker B:

The call's gone forth.

Speaker B:

The time is now.

Speaker B:

This mission I'm sharing with you today is not just a dream or a desire.

Speaker B:

It is a divine assignment.

Speaker B:

It is a movement rooted in the pure red letter words of Jesus Christ.

Speaker B:

At the center of this movement, it said, is a book unlike any other.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

What did Jesus say?

Speaker B:

Seven messages from the Mass are written by Reverend Terry Christian.

Speaker B:

It's not just another inspirational book.

Speaker B:

This is not just another devotional for someone's coffee table.

Speaker B:

This book is the word of God, drawn directly from the red letter words of Jesus Arranged in a way that brings clarity, right Life and revelation to those who read it.

Speaker B:

It does not add any commentary.

Speaker B:

It doesn't twist this.

Speaker B:

Well, let me hold this up.

Speaker B:

You can see there's no additional commentary there.

Speaker B:

It's just the red letter words of Jesus.

Speaker B:

It simply presents the words of the Master.

Speaker B:

Pure, powerful, full of eternal life.

Speaker B:

In a world drowning in opinions and debates and distractions, this book will stand as a lighthouse.

Speaker B:

It's calling the Lost Home.

Speaker B:

It reminds the church of the one we're supposed to follow.

Speaker B:

Not a denomination, not a tradition, not a man, but the Son of God himself.

Speaker B:

Folks, we have a marketing plan ready to launch that can take this book into the hands of believers, seekers, prodigals all over this world.

Speaker B:

We have the tools.

Speaker B:

We have the message.

Speaker B:

But we need the partners.

Speaker B:

We need those who can see this is not just another book campaign.

Speaker B:

This is a divine seed planted in the soil of millions of souls.

Speaker B:

I'm not asking you today to sow into another vague promise.

Speaker B:

I don't offer you the familiar give and hope appeal that so many people have come become numb to.

Speaker B:

This is different.

Speaker B:

This time you will see what your seed is producing.

Speaker B:

This time you'll watch your harvest come in.

Speaker B:

This is not just a spiritual harvest alone.

Speaker B:

It's a real, tangible financial return on what you sow.

Speaker B:

Because this project has been structured to reward those who who sow with a viable, measurable Blessing.

Speaker B:

You sow $500 into this project, your harvest returns $2,000.

Speaker B:

When you sow:

Speaker B:

You sow $5,000, your harvester is $25,000.

Speaker B:

It's all right there.

Speaker B:

It's all in print.

Speaker B:

You can read it.

Speaker B:

This has been structured and prepared and prorated with the marketing and the distribution plan for the book.

Speaker B:

It's not theory.

Speaker B:

This is a God led plan tied to a God led project that is ready to bear godly fruit.

Speaker B:

But no seed can produce a harvest.

Speaker B:

It was not first planted.

Speaker B:

The ground must be broken up.

Speaker B:

The field must be sown.

Speaker B:

We have the field.

Speaker B:

We have the seed.

Speaker B:

We have the favor.

Speaker B:

Now we need the sowers to come and plant this field.

Speaker B:

We need those who understand that the gospel must be proclaimed by now, not next year, not Sunday, but now.

Speaker B:

We need those who can see that when you sow into the red letter words of Jesus, you're sowing into the only message that will stand.

Speaker B:

When everything else fails, your gift will not vanish into a black hole of bureaucracy.

Speaker B:

It's targeted, it's strategic.

Speaker B:

It's visible.

Speaker B:

You will see your harvest come up.

Speaker B:

You will see the souls reached.

Speaker B:

You will see the lives change.

Speaker B:

You'll see all those numbers.

Speaker B:

You'll see the fruit that your obedience and generosity have made possible.

Speaker B:

But first, you got to plant the seed.

Speaker B:

I'm asking you to partner with us.

Speaker B:

Partner with me?

Speaker B:

Partner with Reverend Terry.

Speaker B:

I'm asking you to help launch this marketing plan with force, with speed, with an anointing on it.

Speaker B:

I'm asking you to help send.

Speaker B:

What did Jesus say?

Speaker B:

The seven messages from the Master into the hands of those who are desperate for the voice of Jesus.

Speaker B:

Isaiah 55, 11.

Speaker B:

Promise us.

Speaker B:

So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth.

Speaker B:

It shall not return to me empty or void.

Speaker B:

It shall accomplish that which I purpose and shall succeed in the thing which I said it.

Speaker B:

We're not sowing into man's words.

Speaker B:

We're sowing into God's words.

Speaker B:

When you sow into this mission, you're not just funding a project.

Speaker B:

You're planting eternal seed into the lives of souls you may never meet until they run up to you one day in heaven.

Speaker B:

Say thank you.

Speaker B:

Thank you for sending his words to me.

Speaker B:

t our website, wdjsbookproject:

Speaker B:

And all that as well.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

Let's pray.

Speaker B:

Father, we hear your voice.

Speaker B:

We see your hand moving even now, stirring hearts to action.

Speaker B:

We know the time short and the harvest is ready today.

Speaker B:

We say yes.

Speaker B:

We say yes to your call.

Speaker B:

We say yes to lifting up the red letter words of Jesus and send him into the world.

Speaker B:

Breathe, Father, on every seed sown and into this mission multiply it for your glory.

Speaker B:

Let every word be printed, every book distributed, every heart touched by a testimony to your faithfulness.

Speaker B:

Use us, Lord.

Speaker B:

Use our hands, our hearts, our resources, our lives.

Speaker B:

Let us be this great final harvest before the trumpet sounds.

Speaker B:

We answer your call, Father.

Speaker B:

We give it at your voice.

Speaker B:

We give you all the glory now and forever in Jesus mighty name.

Speaker B:

Amen and amen.

Speaker B:

I want to thank you for your time today.

Speaker B:

Your attention today as I shared this from our heart.

Speaker B:

My heart.

Speaker B:

Praise God.

Speaker B:

I mean a very special calling Lord's given me.

Speaker B:

And my prayer is that you'll join with me and Reverend Terry as we take these red letter words into the world.

Speaker B:

Amen.

Speaker B:

Praise God for it.

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
