Hello, folks, this is Princess, you are listening to the millennial Mustard Seed, pod casts. Thanks for listening. Don't forget to share with your friends. I stopped wearing a very tough spot. I think that what we're doing right now is a great benefit and virtue because it's an end-around between this whole corrupt informational system media system. We claim to believe in a God who spoke the universe into existence and literally raised
himself from the dead. And yet, we're not going to believe that anything else exists in the spirit realm, even though his word tells us that they do, Their bodies weren't permitted to go to sleep, like, humans do, and they weren't permitted to go to heaven. So they wander the Earth, you know, I've seen the eyes turned black to unknown tongues being spoken. These Giants were the way up
with all the upgrades. The young man was high up in the trees away for one of these 12 Footers to come walking down the back and they would jump on Dragon back. Then people start to get weapons, I start to get armor, they start to build cities. This was reported by their cities. Now, God looks down and there's violence everywhere. The battle this war that we are at, is not against each other. It's against these principalities in these rulers in, these are cons in high
places. It's really worthwhile to read the Bible yourself. Here is one of the primary drivers of mind control because we have to take every thought captive and resist. You're going to have a testimony that is a Justice case against the kingdom of darkness. Welcome to this collaboration podcast episode. I'm Rod Smith from the millennial Mustard Seed and you are listening to a very epic interview / conversation between me Bo Kennedy at the bump podcast.
We cover a little bit of everything to be honest with you personal stories. Those shares a creepy and counter from his show that he has never forgotten followed by encouragement giving. You guys battle strategy, battle plan. What does the word of God say about the armor? And how do we apply it? This is one of the best kind of conversations and it belongs in the Airways on this epic collaboration. Thank you everybody so much for listening to this episode.
Please leave us a five star rating and review on your favorite podcast. Catcher whatever app you listen to. That really helps our shows grow so we can connect with more people that are just like me and you. I'm not going to waste any more time. I am ready to jump into this episode. We got ready. Welcome back to the show everybody. I have an awesome guest here. Bo Kennedy from the bump
podcast. It is an honor to be talking with you this morning Bo. Hey, brother, thanks for bringing me on. I, I look forward to it. I know it's early in the morning, but I want to try to be as as functional as possible here. We might have to have a cup of coffee breaks throughout this
recording. So for the listeners, you guys just bear with us. I love what you're doing on your podcast and we're just kind of coming together and we want to share some thoughts, ask each other a couple questions. I think it's so important that we cover these topics because people are being harassed. This is not fairy tale Hollywood stuff. When we talk about the darkness and how its Hurting people in messing with people right now.
How was invading, our homes, our mindsets, and how the word of God is the only weapon offense and defense that we have against it. So it's an honor to have you here to like just chop it up with me, man. I'm excited for this conversation. Hey brother. I am to, you know the the honor and privilege is all my man. I've listened to your show. You did that one with Delgado. I think is what his name? Last name is. Yeah. Yeah that one got me pumped. How was I? Okay. I look forward to this
conversation even more. Now there's just so much man to go into as far as like spiritual warfare and the reality I don't want to get I don't want to jump the gun but there are so many conversations that need to be had with family and friends that I you know we get a little over zealous I guess sometimes but you get a glimpse of what you're up against you know, if Just casually mention prayer nowadays. You get to see just how ingrained the enemy is and
everybody around you. We have a an uphill battle if we're going to expand the kingdom. You know, if we're going to increase Christ Dominion here, there's a lot of work to be done man. Well that's actually perfect to just segue right into the real raw conversation that we need ourselves as just brothers dwelling. Together in unity. But also that listeners need to hear. I'm gonna start off just by asking you a question.
Sure, what's like a big battle or just anything going on recently that you find has been a bit of a struggle but that you're seeing God be faithful and just is helping you through it. The biggest battle that I'm personally facing. I'll go with a personal account, my wife and I we had been looking for a good God-fearing Bible teaching church for years. I'm talking probably going on seven years. We were trying to find a place that we could just plan ourselves and call home.
You know, we finally did that about a year and a half ago, we got this tiny little Community Church It's about 25 minutes away from the house and we talked in it's all about God there. It's not about, you know, a light show is not about send on your feet and jump for 30 minutes. You know getting pumped up before before the preaching starts, you know, sometimes that happens, but that's not the goal. You know what I mean? It's just a tiny little place
and the Holy Spirit is there. Well, when When we go into that church within minutes, you can feel the Lord moving in there. It's a blessed place. We have guest, preachers coming all the time and they'll tell you the same thing. If you come there that, it's just, you can feel the love of Christ, but it's a wonderful place to be, but we get there. And rededicate our lives. You know, we're we are all in this is what's up, this is what we're doing.
And the second we do that, and I mean, within days, we got hit in every possible Direction with Whatever tricks, the devil has man. And I'm not exaggerating. Well, we went to a midnight watch service on New Year's or 2022. And We had a wonderful preacher come through. I mean he was laying on hands. He was blessing everybody for the new year.
We had we stayed there in that church for probably no, no three or four hours at night, having that watch service took my daughter to my nephew because he he's been living with us for a few years. It was just a holy ghost filled service, man. It was wonderful. We come out of there. On cloud nine. And I guess we rattle the cages or something. Man. I don't know what happened but within a few days, man. I start feeling sick.
And next thing, you know, I was hit with that virus and try to press on, you know, try going forward a couple days later. I'm, I'm down, I'm in the hospital with pneumonia and that virus. I spent five days in the hospital. While I'm in there, my daughter whom we had gotten custody of about, for about four years. Prior she was from a previous marriage. She had lived with her mother until she was about 13 years old. Well from the ages of 5 to 13.
Her mother had primary custody. We got full, custody back when she was old enough to make the decision. Basically is how that worked out. I'll just, yeah, long story short on that, but while I was recovering a while, I was in the hospital when I came home, it was a Basically, to a different kit man. She had turned cold completely Cold against us. We saw what was going on. We knew, yeah.
That, you know, if there's a chink in your armor, the devil's going to find it and how often is your children, is your kid, the chink in your armor, right? That's a soft spot for any parent. Yeah. So we went through a year of struggles with her things that were already. Underlying conditions for this. You've been struggling with it. Everything is exacerbated and throughout the course of the year of that year. I had fallen sick about five or six times.
I think I went through about nine courses of antibiotics and steroids trying to get better just weak as a kitten man. Pretty much the whole year of 2022. I went from 11 sickness, you know, No, the virus, the pneumonia to, for the flu sinus infections, laryngitis like two or three times, I hadn't had laryngitis, maybe once in my life, but I had it two or three times. And I always seem to line up with days that we were going to Revival. Yo, that's just weird how that
happened. But yet towards the end of the year, man, my daughter, and I'm not trying to air out laundry. I'm just trying to help warn people. What, what happens want to look at? She? Decided that she was more into Satanism to Christianity. And she told flat-out, you know, she doesn't believe in our fairy tale God. And somehow there the door was still open to believe in Satan. And that she wanted out, she wanted to move out. And go back to live with her mother.
We're what at the time? My wife. And I had been told and believed all this trauma. Had happened. The reason why she wanted to leave to come to us. But I'm paraphrasing a four-year battle here until about 10 minutes. And I, there's a lot of information that I'm leaving out, but long story short, When we gave our life to God. It showed the spiritual warfare became real at our house. The battle heated up. We lost friends and wound up losing family. My daughter now is a thousand
miles away. She was moved back to her mom because she was turning 18. I couldn't stop it. It was either let her go or watch her run away and ruin her life. So, as part of the process and, you know, I hate to Bogart this whole show, man. Keep talking and talking but no, no, he's your do you think, brother? I'm here, I'm here with you. What? We wound up learning how to that
is people. When when challenges happen, you know, when you're met with things like this, you either do one of two things you either turn to God or you turn away from God. So you know and because you know, it's the Devils game. Total keep leaning on you. Yeah. So we chose to lean to God, you know, to be, we keep going closer and closer under his wing, you know, under the shadow for his hand. As that happens, the pain even leads this kid. I love with all my heart. I've held her to a high
standard. I did But that's because I love her so much, you know. Yeah. But That was. Probably my biggest soft spot, but even at that, all the things that she said and done to attack me and my wife and even when it became physical, I knew, wasn't
my daughter, it was something directing and guiding her. and I think that's why it didn't hurt there's times where I struggled and you know, there's times where the thoughts creep into your mind, you know, and you get that lonesome feeling that that worry and that dread But again, that's that's not of God. You know, so we pray for her and we just wait for the day that he put someone in her path. That it is their place to lead her to Christ and we let her live her life man.
Something else that we've learned it. Sometimes the people that we love the most and we want to influence the most and we try the hardest with, it might not be our place to actually get them to Christ. We can pray for. But yeah, it's for its for it's their journey and it might be someone else's word, you know? Because the closer you are to somebody the more offended they seem to get these you know we did you try to, you know, shed a little light on them. So yeah man.
That I was just one way that the battle happens. That's one thing that's happened recently but there has been so much growth. For from a wife and I both for my nephew, my daughter just rejected it and that's it is what it is right now. The rest of us, this this house is in order and we are under agreement in this house. And, you know, Jay is like It says in the Bible that God will prune you, right? He'll just kill clip off those
dead branches and you'll grow. And I feel like when we lose family members, It may not be permanent, you know, it could just be a temporary thing. But when when they walk out or when friends turn their backs, which I've had people, my my dearest friend of 20 years, we served together. Attorneys back. When that happens man, let's not focus on this flesh, this loneliness, the pain. But instead focus on the Lord, you know, keep your eyes on him. And you know, let that be your pruning.
You know, let it be trimming your Hedges and and let's grow in Christ instead of instead of focusing on on this very short existence that we have here, man, I just took that Journey with you, emotionally men. And I just want to say, it takes a lot of humility and a lot of strength. It takes meekness reserved power to be able to be transparent and just share what you shared, man. So, Next thing is for you guys who are prayer warriors, who listen to the show?
Pray for those daughter, and then keep his household and prayer, keep my household and prayer. I think we are a peculiar generation because we may be in the last time slot. We may be winding down to what Revelation would say is the end of the ages. Technology, people serving, the god of the room belly, having no fear for the god of creation. The one who is omnipotent omnipotent. I mean, he's outside of the time restrictions, he's outside of our domain.
I just released an episode showing Conroy. And, you know, he had talked about his mom died, when he was 16 and he spent 20 years on the run from God louia and found himself. Like, at the bottom of a bottle, like going nuts before, he chose the king back. And the reason I bring that up is because At all of us, we all have a story. It's not just me and Bo who have something really important to talk about this morning. All of us have something important to talk about.
It just so happens to be the mic is on. And is somebody out there, this is going to reach. Your heart is going to help you make sense of. Wow, that looks like my story right now, or I'm going through that where my kids may have abandoned me, even though I've been praying for him and contending wanting the best for them. They may choose something
temporarily. Like working for the enemy or just not serving God or not choosing at all and being on the fence, these are the days we live in you guys, and me and Bo were just coming together in humility and saying, yo this is the reality of what's going on. We have personal pains personal battles, you carry a lot of weight. When you start to stand and your unashamed of the Bible, you're on a shame, the Christ. The enemy loves to attack big prayer request to all the listeners out there.
Keep us in prayer to the real ones. Ask God to give us wisdom and strength as we continue to push on from a Frontline perspective, battling this Darkness, Getting out on the prince of the power of the are getting on his Airways. How about that? Invading his space a little bit, kicking back against the kingdom of darkness, and sending out some messages with real men. Real problems, real victories, real Faith. Amen. And that's exactly what I've done, what I've gotten out of it, too.
And I told my pastor and I told my wife, I said, sometimes you get little, like I said zealous, yeah. Little. But it's there's a boldness that comes out of this kind of stuff, man. I told them both. You know, the devil took my child basically. So I'm going to dedicate my life to taking his yes everything I can do. I'm going to lead as many people as I can to Christ to get them to the father. I dedicate my life to it. My show is an altar to God. I'm in a public school public
high school. Every day, I find a way to talk about God because I don't care. You know, I mean, I don't care if it's almost a taboo subject in today's society, to talk about it at school or whatever, these kids need to hear the word. And yes, and where I live. That's we there's a church on every corner. On every corner but that out of 700 kids in my school, there might be 50 that would I was there Christian kids because
it's just not a priority. So I'm going to spread the word, you know, I'm what I'm going to provide Bibles, I'm going to take the time to relate their troubles, to what's really going on in their life. Any Avenue I can get into. To spread the truth to take away the kingdom of Satan's Dominion. You know, I know he's the God of this world, I know that. But I'm going to do everything I can personally.
To step on his toes. To take his kids to shrink his authority to expose his lies because all that the evil has they have three weapons. I used to think they had to, I see they have there's three weapons that they use against you and that's knowledge because they're old man. These spirits that we do with our old just so they know us. They know our families. I'll get into that a little bit here in a minute about familiar. Sure.
But they have deception, you know they have lost and they have fear, that's all they got, there's nothing more. They can they can do except for to put fear in you and deception. If you stand on the truth, there goes the deception, you know. And when you realize that you have Christ within you, Who has beaten death? What is there to fear, right? So you disarm, you disarm the
enemy. It makes it a much better wall as the Mach. It's not going to be easier all the time because they're constantly forming weapons against you. but if you just fix your eyes and you know that it's all deception and fear, you're in control of allowing that fear inside, and we have weapons given to us by God, to keep that fear away. And that's the word of God,
that's prayer. You know, if we just keep ourselves, like I said, under his wing, if we keep ourselves in the shadow of the almighty, there's nothing to worry about. You know, just press forward. Let it purify us. You know, let that these well feels like tests and trials. Let it purifies us, let it burn off iron impurities the trim things away from us that don't need to be there at the moment. and just keep poking the devil in the eye man.
Though, it could not have been said any better that's it in. This is a declaration of war against the enemy. Oh, I just found a soda. Is this is going out on the Airways. We are making declaration of war on the enemy and greater is he? That is in us than he that is in the world. Amen. And we are calling on the name of the one true God. There's one name given to us under heaven.
In the name of Jesus Christ, he's the Strong Tower, the same one, David, the mighty warrior in the Old Testament ran to and time and need a strong tower, the god of Abraham, the god of Jacob, the god of Isaac, the god of today, the same as he was back, then he's the Ancient of Days. We're told to test the spirits. All right? So when somebody has Christ in them, that meekness, I see I've
been talking about meekness. So, Much recently and is not by accident for the people who actually can see what's going on in the spirit world. The people who are Meek are being highlighted, and my opinion. So, everybody's been aware of the people full of lust chasing, the money, all the big Fame names all this, this that, and the other. But now, the tables are about to flip. Now, we're about to see a, reconstitution of the way things are working around here.
But when I say around here, I mean this country and the world because God is Going to give a table for us to eat in the presence of our enemy. There's going to be a cup that overflows from those who are really walking. This thing out. Not pretend Christianity, not cute. Teddy bear Christianity. I'm talking about. We are battling the darkness by
the power. He has given us, we're not ashamed to talk about our weaknesses because his power is made best known through our weaknesses during could be a demonstration piece of God's power. So I'm sorry. I feel like I'm preaching. Actually, I'm not sorry for this one. This is literally, I muted my mic. I have my arms up and I was praising God when you were talking last because somebody needs to hear, this is exactly raishin of War on the enemy. The enemy is stealing our kids.
He's stealing our money, our blessings dividing the families in this country. Killing the kids in this country exploiting homosexuality in this country. Amen! My daughter asked me about two years ago, you know. I have had a Teenagers. I was out of wedlock. I had twins. Beautiful amazing kid and she comes to me and says dad, there's this kid at school. He's super popular. Everybody likes this kid and she's going on talking about him and I'm thinking in my head. Oh man.
Is she about to say, Dad? I want to date this guy. I'm about to bleep. What's his address honeymoon with his name? Great? You know, then she goes on to say to me but Dad he's gay. Is that okay? I stopped and I prayed real quick in my head. I said, God give me wisdom. Yep, give me wisdom. And I simply looked my daughter in the eyes and I said, honey, if I was gay would you be here? And she, like her eyes got real big.
And she went, oh, and I said, one of the things that God has designed us to do, is for the man and a woman to come together in unity and to procreate. So if you got a bunch of men and women who choose to do things against the natural, you are constricting the future generations of life. And bro, the moment I seen my daughter's eyes light up and that made sense to her because I didn't need this. Slander, I didn't need to judge anybody.
I didn't do nothing. God gave me wisdom in one moment just to say that kind of practice doesn't contribute to life and you are a living beautiful breathing example of why we desire for life to continue on because it's a part of God's plan. Simple messages just like that. Amen. And it makes me think because right now, I'm estranged from them in a great relationship, it's been a lot of difficulty over all of these years. Just the way the devil has crept into my life.
You know, I said this to Vicki Joy when she was on last year, I said, I almost sometimes feel like I'm picking up a couple Stones down at the brook trying to figure out, right? There's a process and a journey where each one of us are going to be slinging this stone at the Dome of the enemy and they're going to be falling down. That's just the way it's gonna be. That's this generation. We were born for such a time as this but I don't know how many
stones to pick up but all right. It's all right. I heard it said and I I should remember that. I don't remember exactly saying it in and David story that he picked up five Stones, is that right? Yeah. And supposedly Goliath had four brothers exactly. So just be We're a team and get get all the stones, you know, they bring that wheelbarrow and follow me. Fill it up with stones, right? That's it, man, that's it. Because it, the battles come at us in so many different ways. Man.
Yo, and I think what you told your daughter is perfect. I think that was divinely inspired to not offend in any way. Not to push her away. It whatever thought she was, you know, leaning into I had something similar happened at the school. You know, because it's very, very accepted to live however you want, you know, that you just have to accept everybody for whatever they say they are at the Tom and if they change their mind, you got to go with that too.
And the last thing I want to do is hurt a child. But I said something similar in to the kids before I explain to them. If that was part of what they were believing, they were, you know, how these kids believe in evolution because that's what they're taught. And I said, if you believe in evolution and if homosexuality is so natural and is expanding has now it's like one in six people write something like that. You know, as if those two things are factual than are we coming
to Extinction? Is it because you If everybody. Is gay. It's impossible to go beyond one generation. You know there's no procreation like just like you said and I don't mean it in a hurtful way is just think about it. Yeah that's the beginning and the end in one generation if if it's meant to be that way. And I think it's so important that we make those clarifications. Like, we don't bring this up to
hurt anybody. You have been designed to pass on your genes to to have a child to raise them up. I was reading the Bible the other day. If we have children they're like arrows in a quiver and we can shoot them in the direction into leading. Lead them to the truth. Now, when they grow old, they won't depart from And we just see Devastation. We just see Generations being cut pun intended. Yep. But Bo it makes me think this declaration of war episode here. There's way too much going on.
We could not possibly cover it all in in episode, but let's move into, you know, some of the spiritual aspect of things I'm going to ask the question, will let it go where it goes, that's how it's always the best, you know, what's one of the creepiest things that you heard on the show? In your years of doing the podcast. Like, was there one thing that you're like? Whoa, hold up. It has almost too much.
Because at the same time when you're done, we also want to offer the audience biblical taxed and armor encouragement so that they can battle because somebody out there may be dealing with something super creepy right now. Oh yeah. The first one as soon as you say creepy, there's an episode that came to my mind. I did years dude, I have no clue what the episode number is or anything like that, but I titled it demon in the bedroom. I had this guy call me, man. I think hustle back then.
I think I was still doing this from my phone. You know, my podcast started off rough bro, but uh he had an experience that he was sharing with me about how his wife had I guess like Kai night terrors, you know, and she would, but she didn't have the paralysis like she would fight sometimes in her sleep. He was laying there beside her when he experienced her going into one of these kind of attacks when these fits and he reached over, you know, to check
on her. Whatever looked over at her and beside the bed, was his black entity. Just all black and he said he started praying it away. Basically, you know, he was commanding in the name of Jesus that I had to leave, you know, to leave his wife alone. and he said this entity, then, Pushed back up against the wall. And into the wall, like it went it.
Pushed back against the other side of the room, hit the wall and started like raising up towards the ceiling and he said, as this Mass was like floating Up and Away a face appeared in it and they just gave him this real creepy smile and then faded out If that wasn't bad enough, he found out shortly thereafter that he had a neighbor that was actively practicing witchcraft. And he believes that she had summoned this thing to attack
him and his wife. So that was pretty creepy, sounds like it. Whoo, so here's the hope we heard a creepy story. I know that we're all battling the Battle of light versus Darkness. So if anybody out there is dealing with something like this in their homes were Family member or a friend is dealing with this and you just don't know how to give them advice or what to say. Let's get back to the word of God, absolutely armor. Now this isn't just some lofty,
fun idea of what we think. Oh I'm just going to put this imaginary armor on the first thing you guys is, we got to come to God in Repentance. He never rejects a broken and contrite spirit, right? That's a really actual good place. To be is broken and contrite before the Lord. Like, I'm at a loss here. God, I need help. I don't know how to deal with this situation. I don't know why these things are going on, but I need your help. That's a really good place to be first of all.
And next, but we can go to Ephesians, right? I mean, there's so many places. We could go. Yeah, the helmet real quick. It's a helmet of salvation. So, as we make declaration of war, against this enemy against Darkness, we need to have some are To be able to go into this battle with and it's the mindset. We are saved. Not of our own works, not of our own righteousness. It is simply. We are saved by faith in Christ Jesus. So, we are given Grace that when Christ came.
He took our place, our punishment because he was perfect without sin. And his righteousness was transferred to us who believe in him. So when God sees us, he now sees himself, he sees Christ. Jesus, in us a mint. That's a helmet of salvation. We can put that on. So no matter of people are talking - about you, you're feeling depressed. People are throwing dirt on your name, maybe you're just not
finding encouragement. Maybe you and your spouse are arguing and you're just not getting along, and you desire comfort. And you don't have that comforting voice there. You actually have the voice of an enemy. Coming alongside you whispering in your ear. Yeah. It's always going to be this difficult. Yeah, it's always gonna be like this, see things never really do get better. It doesn't matter how hard you try. That's a lie. We are coming to Salvation, you know, with the helmet of
salvation to even physically. If you think about the helmet, you know, you keep The Whispers of the devil out of our ears, man. Keep her head, not straightforward. Don't be worried about what's in our blinders. You know, just keep your eyes straightforward. Keep Mungo breastplate of righteousness. I pray, the armor of God. For every, at the end of every day, I pray that God, wakes us up, and keeps us the breastplate of righteousness.
Absolutely. So we can go forward boldly, knowing that we are doing what's right by God. You know, it protects our heart, it protects that space, where our love emanates, right? So where the Holy Spirit dwells within us, that breastplate of righteousness will protect us. So we can, we can be assured and before word for word leibold Toward whoever we encounter, we can charge headlong that way, right? If our vitals are protected, we
could, we could go ahead first. And I have to worry, could we have the word of God? And that's what righteousness is, you know, to be right by God. Yes, you know, when I see a righteous person unless they are a faithful person. Yeah, imma jump right onto the belt real quick. Yeah, think about. It's like the halfway point, right? It's you're halfway point. The lower portion of your body, God designed us with these legs and you know it carries our
vessel, right? They beautifully, wonderfully and fearfully. Are we created? And the halfway point, we got a belt. Nobody wants your pants, hanging off, you, come on. But here's the more important end of the belt. I want to encourage you guys about. It's the belt of truth. It's the halfway marker of our design. It is literally the middle portion. It is so important that you about a truth, you guys, and that's the word of God. That means we can run to the word of God.
We can literally equip ourselves. We can tighten ourselves down. We can meet right in the middle of the deepest portions designed in his likeness and we can equip ourselves with a belt of Truth. Amen, I'll prove it, wraps around us. Right. Yes yes. It binds everything together. It holds everything in place the truth. I loved about a truth, man. I love it.
We're going to next. You went the when our feet in the shoes of the gospel of peace man to stand on the Rock and on that Firm Foundation. Let's go. That's what it is. You'd you know, our feet and our feet shod in the preparation of the gospel of peace. That's the next place of the armor. But yeah, that's it man. Just to stand on the Rock.
The word of God is dead. On that Firm Foundation to know that you are in Christ. You're prepared, you know, you gotta stay in that word, but we'll get to him in just a second because that's one of our other pieces of armor, right? Yeah. Absolutely. Beautiful. Do you want to go to the shield of Faith quick before we get to the, the big one? Yeah, we take the shield, get, take the shield, bro. Let's do it. All right, the shield of Faith
right. It says in Psalm 91 that at the faithfulness of the Lord is our shield and bulwark, our Buckler So we are shielded by the faith of God because our faith May falter, but his doesn't correct. Yes. Thank you. We're, we got the shield of Faith a shield in the days of Paul a shield. Wasn't something that you could just you know, you hold on your forearm and you know, you you're swinging this shield around it kind of pink away at the arrows that may be flying at us write
these fiery darts of the devil. Yes, No. These shields were about 4 to 5 feet tall, okay? Three foot wide and you could stand that shield on the ground and your whole body. You could just swap behind that shield and you be in the shadow of that Shield of nothing coming at. You would be able to hit you to be completely protected. You could hide someone under it
with you. If you hell, if you hold it above your head, so it's protecting you as protecting, your family, the the fiery, arrows of the devil cannot get through. Nothing will prosper against you. If you, if you stand with that Shield of Faith, you can rest in that that Shield. That thing will just literally protect you and other people can fit under your Shield to answer prayers of a righteous man. Availeth much absolutely. We got that gift of faith and Gift of prayer and encouragement.
We share that. And when people look at us and say, yo, how do you do that? We say, greater is he, that is in me than he, that's in the world, who was in. You, the one who gave me the armor, what are you talking about? Do you, how much time do you have, right? We sit down. We can go. That's the point of this. People need to know this because unfortunately, a lot of ministers out there, they have not shown people what it looks like to carry a double-edged sword and gin, which is the big
one. That's right, this is for all fence and defense in my opinion. Oh yeah baby. Even the enemy sees us holding this and I want you to just picture, whatever, whoever your favorite Gladiator. Ancient Greek warrior, ancient Egyptian, Warrior Is Right. It from movies or cartoons. When you were a kid, whatever picture him minuscule in the big picture, compared to what we
look like in the spirit. When we have God's word, when we got the double edged sword, Sword, the unadulterated True Word of God. It's living and Alive. You can't put it in a box. You can't manipulate it. The word of God is powerful. Fool man. I feel right now, bro. Hey man is living and alive. There's life in the words there. There's protection. In those words, there's discipline.
The word was written for our encouragement, our edification, our correction, For us to know these stories from a four time that we could be given wisdom insights. It's a guidebook. It's Supernatural is from outside the time domain. That sword will pierce the heart of unbelievers. That word will get into the heart of everyone not to hurt them, not to hurt them. It's to save them. It cuts the heads off snakes,
right? Yes. It'll break through the snares of the Trapper, where the Fowler, as some people's books might say I'm a big Psalm, 91 guy. So I see the sword of the spirit, I see the shield of faith. I see that a lot in Psalm 91, You haven't you? Yeah you summed up the sword perfectly he did and the word has been here as civilizations have risen and Fallen. Kings have come and Kings have gone, but the word Remains the truth, the word of God. It's going to stay in the word
of God going to standing. So you have conversations off are like, all of us podcasters, do, did you have people come up to you and say, yo, I listen to this. It really helped me through XYZ, but I've never felt comfortable to talk about it at church. Do you get like, can you share one or two of those kind of like encouraging connecting stories with us? Absolutely locally.
You know, it's funny. I don't have a whole lot that I know of, of local listeners, you know, I got a lot of a lot of Young people that like to listen to the show or whatever, but I get emails, man, all the time, all the time, I guess, you can call him local. There's a man that lives about three hours away. I won't give his name because it was pretty, pretty personal stuff. You know, he reached out to me. Of all people.
He he reached out to this guy that does a podcast in his spare bedroom and, you know, to me, but he felt, he said, he felt led. Yeah to to holler at me because he was feeling like giving up. while he was going through some very personal things in his marriage and he had a wife and he had kids and he felt like he was losing them. He honestly had a plan. And it's a very, very personal
story. But like I said, I'm not sharing any names, I'm not sharing any locations, but he told me that he felt like he needed to talk to me that he wanted to share it with me. And I was very humbled by that very honored, that God was going to use me. That at that time to be a vessel, you know, to be a light for him. And so, I shared with him, the word of God, I did everything I could. We had a lot of conversations back and forth. and, Instead of taking his life. He turned to the Lord.
He gave his life to Jesus. I mailed him a Bible. I highlighted what the verses that I thought would help? I stayed on him because, you know, we have to commune with each other, you know. So we stayed close and we still I check in on him every every week or two. And just watching him grow. But he went through one of these darkest moments in his life man. And he he said that the show, you know, the things that we talked about on the show, led
him to reach out to me at all. And honestly, I mean, it was one of the most profound. Conversations. I've had you know because of all the stuff that he was going through and how he's still here with us, you know. And he's got a better job now and his only situations are turning around. No he's not with his wife. Because we can't control what other people do. You know what I mean? God is not a Genie in a lamp, you know, we can't pop him out and get wishes, granted, we all
have free will. but instead of taking his life because he felt completely empty, he filled that space with the Holy Spirit, he let the Lord in and he was comforted, which is exactly what the holy spirit is there to do. He's there to counsel and to comfort us. He told Christ's return. And he realized that and he accepted Jesus into his life. So now he knows that he can live for the Lord and actually be there for those kids when they get old enough, you know what?
Again, sometimes we get pruned, all things work out for the good, for those who believe right in the butt. That's not to minimize it at all, but that was one person that reached out I, I have a lot of people that I don't know why. Jay I don't have a clue other than I'm trying to be obedient to the Lord. Yeah. And times where I should probably, you know, to make my show way more popular. I should shut up.
You don't love me. I should probably hush my mouth and you know have 50,000 followers. I've been doing this for years now but I won't shut my mouth so I keep A niche audience. yeah, of people who believe in God and even if they don't believe in God, they know that there's There's something that's keeping them around to listen. Yeah, absolutely. And I tell you, one of the best tools that are shamelessly use on. My show is I have two songs at the end.
I don't know if you've heard him or not, but there is a local bluegrass group. One is a pastor. He's got two or three buddies that he sings with. They go around a right original music and they visit churches when they're not having their own service. You know, they'll hit revivals or churches. And they just sing beautiful songs that are original songs. Original pieces that they write or other pastors and preachers, right? Here in the area.
Wow. And it's all the word of God and so I told him which I don't even know if they know what a podcast is. Because Pockets aren't that popular in southern West Virginia. They, you know, when they look at me, like I have two heads, I'm like it's like a radio show. Well, I told him, I was like, look, I hope you don't mind but I'm sharing your songs and they like a men, go ahead. They don't care. You know. But these guys, they have CDs that they literally sell out of the back of their SUV.
Whoa, you know, just for the ministry or whatever. So, I took, I took two of their songs that are anointed And I put them on the end of my show and I would, welcome everybody who hears this to just stop. And listen, if you don't listen to my show, I don't care. Go to the end. Go to the last 10 minutes and just listen to those songs and see if you don't get pulled by the Lord. So I absolutely use that and it's almost every single week, it probably is every single week.
I'll get somebody commenting. Asking me how they can get more of those song. How do you know, who is that, or just thanking me for having it on there because they stopped in the middle of work and raise hands and cry. I'm telling you, you could hear the voice of God in these songs way. I can't say enough about it but yeah, that's that's what my show. Yeah, that's what I like to do. I like to just get the word in
there. However, I can't, I'll be sneaky with him and I'll be I'll be as wise as a serpent. You don't have a list. I've heard of but the thing is is you see a lot of people go out before you and sometimes were like, man, there's a lot of talent and this despite I don't use names or anything like that. But use your imagination. There's a lot of talent here. It was a lot of talent here. It sounds really good, it looks really good, it's really shiny.
And then you have anointed, then you have what's anointed See, King Saul for those of you who know your Old Testament, he was the king of Israel, that's revs anointed by God to be king. He was polished, he was clean, he was in a palace, he had like golden Spears, he could throw up people whenever he got angry just laying around and then you have David. David he wasn't even called in by his father, when he was taking care of the sheep, and the prophet Samuel came to town.
They didn't even think to call him and see him and said, call your son's in a, David wasn't even on the thought list, right? He's out there in the dirt running around, stepping over the Sheep's poop, he's keeping them in order, making sure they don't get carried off and killed by The Lion and the bear. The lion is a a man. I'm glad you mentioned the lion and a bear because people don't know that David already had that he knocked Them out before he got to Goliath.
That's right, here's the thing. King Saul called upon David to bring him Comfort. When King Saul was being tormented by a foul Spirit. That's right to play HIM music. So David's heart is after God, but he's low and in the dirt he's like the poor kid on the wrong side of the tracks, the nobody wants to encourage, or give a chance. I mean, you know, use your imagination. He was rejected. All right, but he was after God's Own Heart. And now you got the king had
above shoulders. There's some talent in the gene pool of whoever was picking who back then because he was Head and Shoulders above the rest of the money Israel. Rights handsome, right yet, he was smart.
He was chosen by the people, they applauded him talented and then you have the anointed and when David was nothing and not his lowest, he was called upon to come plucks strings and play music for King Saul. So, you can see The Talented will even call on the anointed and their day of Despair. Here's how we know who's who. That's right, it's good, man.
That's right. Because the anointed, they gonna come in and be dusting off some dust and if and I'm not adding to the word, I'm actually depicting. What we may see start to happen and it's already been happening. Yo man, why you kinda like got a chip on your shoulder? Why are you dusting off? And it's like, I just killed a bear. Yep. I know who I am. I'm no good, but he's good. Let me just add something to that.
What you're saying is true, you know, there is a movement and God is using those who are obedient. Yeah, if you allow him to work through you he will. If you have faith and you believe that he will work through you, he will if you invite him to work. We had a Revival here about a month ago and I haven't shared this with anybody and that's just what I wanted. I told you that I had one of the chamber man that I hadn't spoken about at all. I'm excited, let's go.
I'm not man, I have been begging God to use me. You know what I told you as soon as. As soon as I felt like The enemy took my child. I wanted to take his right I've begged, God to use me. Begging lay my life down for him. I just humble myself before the Lord. Anybody will be used if you humble yourself before God, right? So we're heading to a Revival. This happened, like, for real, about a month ago, I could send you pictures of the guy. We're sitting there at Revival.
This thing went on for about 24 days, this is about the fifth day of Revival that we were at. My wife and I got there right at 7:00. So shame on us, we had to sit in the back because this place is a packed house at this point, right? So we sit on the very last Pew on the right hand side in seat by the aisle. I'm sitting there. I got that.
I've come to know was preaching and for whatever reason, I started feeling real smothered out, like I was getting real anxious real nervous, but like I was having a full-blown anxiety attack. And it's happened to me off and on for years. Just, it's anxiety, whatever. You know, a little bit of a panic attack. It usually feels like I'm disconnected from reality, you know? Like I'm just sitting there in a dream. I'm watching things happen.
I feel like a comb is like I'm falling and a feeling but then it washes away, you know, it lasts about 30 seconds. Anybody who has anxiety or panic attacks or whatever. They know exactly what I'm talking about. I don't know if you ever deal with that stuff or not. Yeah, it sucks but you just remind yourself. Hey man. Everything's all right and it goes away, right. But I'm sitting here at this, revival of all places and I start feeling that and it goes
on for about a minute. And I start squirming in my seat and my wife's like, what's wrong? Nothing. I know. I must feel like I'm, I'm freaking out a little bit and she's like, well, do you need to go outside because I don't want you interrupted serviceman. You'd hold still, you know? And I was like that look, I don't need to go outside, but something's going on, I can't shake this and I said, just hold my hand. Let me just Just get grounded.
Let me just feel reality for a second because I don't know why I'm feeling so shook. So we sit there for another minute. and I'm looking around, man, I'm starting to like Shallow breath, kind of stuff like nothing dramatic, but I'm just keeping it together. Making sure. I don't draw any attention to myself. I'm looking around. Over to my left, which I can barely look that way. But every time I look over to
the left, man, I feel like I'm falling weird. but I looked over to my left, and I see this guy sitting there and I didn't tell him about this ever die to the to this day, which I don't, I don't think he knows my name. I don't think he listens to my show or anything like that so they could say, but looked over there, man. Here's this guy said, just kind of stoic black hair. Kind of Shaggy looking long. Black beard. Absolutely covered in tattoos
which I'm covered in tattoos. I'm not saying anything about that, but I'm just saying this guy looked The part and you know he's sitting like in the middle of the Pew On The Other Side by two rows up for me. And I don't know why I just keep getting drawn on him. But my eyes fixed on him. He's just sitting there, I look at my wife and I said it's that guy. She said, what in the world are you talking about? I said, whatever is going on with me. There's something dark in here
sitting. It's coming from him. She said, she knows that. I've been begging for, you know, for God to use me, you know, she knows that I'm into Deliverance. That's what I that's what I've had in my heart. I feel led to do it. I feel like that's been what I'm supposed to do, all my life and that's another long story, but She said don't don't, don't try to cast out demons right here. Bo that's come on. We're at a Revival.
You know, she's Whispering this to me and I'll I'll and I'm like, yeah, I ain't doing nothing like that. I said, but there's something going on and I can't shake this feeling so sitting back. There, the revivals jumping, man. Everybody's cheering, everybody's having a good time, praising the Lord. And I just start whispering. You know, for any unclean spirit in on, or around that man are inside this church, it has to leave in the name of Jesus. It can't be.
Here is the house of God. So some people call it rebuking, but I wasn't like, correcting, a spirit, I wasn't rebuking the spirit. I was commanding in the name of Jesus Christ because we have the authority /, Luke 10:19 to do such things. I sat there and I watch this man and after about 30 seconds of saying, you know, of praying that it has to leave of command and whatever's in there to leave. I watch him Lean Forward, man. He put his hands over his face. You know, his head in his hands
about 30 seconds. He said there, he was and he starts squirming and I'm squirming. And I just keep praying and keep praying. And within about a minute, he jumps up man. I'm getting chilled about to cry, he jumps up and he hits that altar. and when he hit the aisle, That feeling popped off me. Like a shot and I jumped out of my Pew and I started shouting and praising the Lord. Yes, yes. That man gave his life to Jesus right there. And that weekend he went back
and he got baptized. And the next time I went to the Revival, he stood up in the front and sing a song that man is all in for the Lord. I got to witness that. I got to witness spiritual warfare. I got to witness that man being held in his seat by the devil and the Lord. I honestly believe. He put it all over me man. So I would pray for that man.
Yeah, yeah you know he let me feel, you know, what was going on. I'm so grateful and I want as bad as that felt for me, I've I was it was horrible to feel that way but I want to feel that every day of my life if it'll lead somebody to God. if I can get somebody's name on my heart, if I can just be in the presence of somebody and just just to pray, and it's I keep saying, pray, but It's, you're invoking the name of Jesus but you're commanding the unclean to leave
because that's our job. Yeah, it's our job to cast out demons. It's our job to spread the word of God. You know, people here in this they think Christians are annoying or whatever, we're not trying to be, we want you to feel as good as we feel but it's our job to tell you about Christ, it's our job to pray for you as our job to cast out demons in the Name of Christ for
you. I just wanted to share that man because it's I want to share it, not for myself but just to express the reality of what we were going through. And now I feel like all the times I had those anxiety attacks, I think my spirit just didn't agree with whatever spirit I was around, man. Wow, that's it. You know, a lot of the times in the world we want to run. So what brings us a temporary Comfort? The word says, sin is fun for a short season.
But if sin is how we work, then death is going to be the check. Yeah. But God, but God and so Bo when you just said right now, if the world thinks Christians are annoying like we want you to feel as good as we feel. Oh my gosh, bro, I'm just fell out of my chair.
Seriously it's a peace that surpasses, the world's understanding it is and it's almost like what kind of wicked person would be like everybody around, you is sick and you got this this cup of tea, you know, you got, you got some herbs and you made it, and you felt really good and you're like, oh, it took all the symptoms away. What kind of wicked person would sit there and watch everybody coughing and sneezing and aching in pain in and be like? Well, that sucks for them.
I'm glad I got this T right here. Do you want to share it? They can sound Aggressive. I know, I get animated and laudanum. It's coming from a place of like, passion and drive. And just like, I feel like we were born for a Time such as this, exact, I've spent so many hours weeping and crying out to God and confused. And like, you just said, Bo not knowing why I have this feeling on me. Yeah, why is this hardship and deprivation?
So, evident in my life, I was living bad, but I had repented and turned from it right yet. There was still this period where it was like things. Is kept going wrong, it's wild because I'm not alone. Try, you're not alone bow. This guy that story. You just shared. That is so powerful because God was shown, you spiritual warfare. Amen. He was showing you something that other people around you couldn't see. And this is why the church is so important. You guys, you ready?
Because there's one Spirit one truth. One baptism, but a diversity of gifts. Yeah, there you go. Listen, you do. Do not want to mess with the Living. God, the fear of God is about to come back into the church. Yeah, the fear of the Living God is about to rupture out into the landscape. Again, whether you be Church in it or not Church in it, whether you be speaking christianese or you have no idea what I'm talking about. Yeah, fear of God is about to come back into the land.
So when we see people start to work in the gift man, we gotta like be humble and be alongside of them because I need critiqued, I don't have good answers. The time I'm like a wild radical that's running. Nobody ever taught me anything. I'm reading the Bible and fighting demons in the middle of the night. Calling on Christ's name. You know. Yeah. I'm just experiencing capturing
the journey. That's kind of the idea of my show but was I'm capturing the journey, a man from the growth, I'm asking the questions, I don't know what's next, I don't know how to deal with half the things I've already experienced, but I keep crying out to the Living God. You man, there has to be a part two. Oh yeah. Chance to be a part to man. And I feel like you have so much to help me to help even my
audience. Just look at things from your perspective and you offering your gift and just your humbleness and transparency. It's it was an honor to have you here on the podcast. Hey man, the pleasure is all mine. I appreciate it. Any chance I get to talk about the Lord. I'm down brother. You just, you just say the word I'm here. Ray? Yeah, I'm blessed. I'm supposed to be here. I love it. I appreciate you for what you're
doing. Your show is boldly for the Lord. My show, you know, for years I had that undertone, you know, episode 1 I said I'm a Christian and it was on a horrible recording so it sounds like I screamed into the microphone. I'm a Christian But yeah. You know, I was trying to get it out. I was nervous. Yeah. But I've tried to keep the Lord at the center and the further it goes the more. It's just it's just pouring out man. And I'm going with it. Meekness has been your keyword lately lately.
My keyword has been obedience. Wow, I just want to do what I'm told and I don't want to falter man because it just feels too good to be in the shadow of the The Almighty. So thank you. It's my pleasure, man. I'm humbled by this, I feel Meek overall. I'm looking to grow in The Obedience, you guys.
These are some of the key words, a declaration of war, fare against Darkness, not against an individual, not against the government, not against a land against Darkness because the light has no fellowship with the darkness. Yet we expose the wicked and evil Deeds of the darkness. Yes. And we cling to the one who has as the power to carry out what we're talking about. Amen. He is not a coward. He does not linger in answering. He is Swift in responding to
those who cry out to him. He is about his business and his business happens to be praised. He deserves all the glory, all the praise and all the warship. So as to Humble men here, we start to wind down. For all the listeners out there, we love that you guys listen, we ask that you would keep us in prayer. We ask that you would share these episodes with your friends family members co-workers, if you know somebody who's wrestling with spiritual
darkness in their life. Shared this one right here with them. And then, we're going to re promote the band. This cool Bluegrass style band, I've listened to a bell. I know who you're talking about, there is an anointing on this. I mean, I don't know who they are. Like, I never met him and I don't know their names, but I'll listen to it on your show. Yeah, man.

of faith. And I'm going, it's a mouthful, they're going to make fun of me. It, I remember, but I'm so glad I was obedient back then because it was corny for a little bit.
