Welcome to Call to Freedom. I’m so glad you joined me today. I’m so excited about serving the Lord Jesus and I know you are too. You want to know him more deeply and that’s so important in this life on this earth where everything’s changing. It seems like it’s just like a revolving door changing all the time. And for some of us who are getting older, we don’t like change. No, don’t change. But we’re enjoying that transition and I’m enjoying it and I’m acclimating to that kind of lifestyle. So bring it on, Father God. Bring it on. Oh, friend, you are blessed because you belong to God. He chose you, shaped you, and prepared you to make a difference in this world. It’s like our scripture for this week. Isaiah 43 verse 1, “The Lord your Creator, He formed you. Do not fear for I have redeemed you. I have called you by name. You are mine. You belong to God.” Hallelujah. And that’s my prayer for you today and always. Not so much that we see those great miracles, although I’ve had power partners that one couple, his brother is free of cancer. Praise God. And those things are wonderful and important. But the main thing I pray for you is safety every day. Safety and protection. Because in this world we do not know when we get in our car or whatever we’re doing, how we can be gone in the next minute. And of course when we’re gone and we belong to Jesus Christ, we know where we’re going. But it’s always such a sorrow and grief for the loved ones that are left. So I’m so grateful to God that He’s protecting you. He’s keeping you safe. And He’s keeping you healthy in Jesus’ name. Praise the Lord. You are blessed to dispense for in Him you live and move and have your being. I’m so grateful that call to freedom comes to you live Monday through Thursday and on Friday we always have an encore show which I’m so grateful for. I’m grateful though. We have all those CDs. They used to be cassettes. But now there’s CDs that help you to learn how to really serve Jesus and be more like Him. I hope that you’re praying for Israel, Israel is the apple of God’s eye. And He will protect her. Yes, she went through great turmoil and destruction because of her disobedience. She went into exile in Babylon. She was scattered all over the world. But then Jesus, Jesus came and that freedom that He gives to all of us, He’s also giving to Israel, His people. And you can read about how Israel is redeemed by God in Romans 9. I’m so grateful for those books that Paul wrote about that Israel. All Israel will be saved. We know that God brought the Jewish people to their land. And He promised to protect her. And I’m reading in that Isaiah right now. He has protected her and He will. And as a country, she is a marvelous, marvelous example of a constant, well conservative, maybe constant democracy in the Middle East. We can have that friend. We can really see that. In the Passion, Isaiah 43 verse 1 says, “Listen Jacob.” And He’s speaking to Israel primarily here. But you can take that. You can take what He’s saying here. What Isaiah is saying. Listen Jacob to the one who created you. Israel to the one who shaped who you are. Do not fear. Don’t be afraid. And as we’re getting older, sometimes we get this fear that we’re going to be alone or something’s going to happen. We can’t motivate like we used to. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid. God is watching over you and He’s taking you by the hand. It says here, “I, your Kinsman Redeemer will rescue you.” Yes, Isaiah 43, 1. I have called you by name. You are mine. When you pass through, pass through the deep stormy sea, you can count on me to be there with you. When you pass through, that word pass through, remember, you’re not going to let you stay there, pass through the raging rivers. You will not drown when you walk through. This is from the Passion. When you walk through persecution like firey flames, you will not be burned. The flames will not harm you for I am your Savior, Yahweh, your mighty God, the Holy One of Israel. When you trust in Him, when you put everything that you are and you have in His hands, He will keep you safe and sure. I have been through some really rough times, some really impossible times. Oh, and I thought we were going to crash and burn, especially when we were traveling across the United States in the 70s and early 80s. I’ll tell you what. He protected us every mile that we traveled. Praise God. I praise God for you and I praise God for the ones who went before us, who gave us wonderful, wonderful promises. My confession for today by Rick Renner, talk about somebody who’s given us promises. I declare I have the sword of the Spirit of God working in my life. This spiritual weapon works when I confess the word and stand on the word. I have the exact word I need in every situation. A specific, quickened word from the Scriptures placed in my heart by Holy Spirit. Because this rama from God is in my heart, I have a real sword power to use against the enemy. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name. And for a man who’s had a church now for 30 years in Moscow, Russia, yes, right across from the Kremlin. Yes, God has kept him and Denise so safe. Praise the Lord. And the sword of the Spirit is an important offensive tactic and we read that in Ephesians 6. Now, Ephesians 6.10 says, “Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” Not in your own power. His might and then it goes on to describe the armor of God. Now, we can all picture a knight in shining armor, of course. And you’ve listened to sermons about the armor of God for years. And yet you haven’t used God’s armor. You haven’t put it on a detail of who you are and where you’re going. You ask, “Well, how do you use God’s armor?” You apply these important elements of safety and assurance against the enemies, rockets and against the bullets and everything that’s coming at you. You have a shield. And you must wear all the armor that God provides. You can go down that list in Ephesians 6 and see what you need to apply. And most of us, that first thing is salvation, that helmet of salvation. You have been born again. Jesus is going to keep you safe. You must wear all the armor that God provides so you’re protected as you confront the slanderer. Now, that’s a liar. He comes against you with all these innuendos of how you are so nothing. It’s never going to work out for you. You’re going to be a failure. Oh, don’t listen to him. Don’t listen to him. For you are destined for all things and will rise in victory after you have conquered. Now, we’re going to go through this little list and it’s in the Passion translation. I know I’m using a lot of the Passion, a lot of the new living translation and the message. But they’re so important and they’re kind of in the contemporary vernacular. So I’m grateful that these people have translated the Bible in these translations that we easily can read. And especially the younger people here. It says in Ephesians 6 put on truth as a belt to strengthen you to stand in triumph. Do you know why human enemies try to get a bullet in their enemies midsection? Especially I love Westerns. I don’t know why I didn’t have we didn’t have horses on our farm. We didn’t when I was a little girl. But when we moved north of Greeley, we just had hogs and chickens and that was about it. So I didn’t really know about the Westerns but I really like the old Westerns and the horses and all the action. And when they hit somebody with a bullet, they aimed at their midsection. Do you know why they did? Because that injury would determine a sure death. It hit the vital organs. If you didn’t hit the heart, you’re going to hit the stomach, you’re going to hit the liver, you’re going to hit the intestines, you’re going to hit the kidneys. So that was the place where they usually fired. So to have the truth around your organs in your heart is a deterrent to the lies and falsehoods of the enemy aimed against you. It really is. And put on holiness is the protective armor that covers your heart. Oh, every day when I ask God to help me to rest through the night, to help my organs and my all my limbs and everything to be at peace. My heart is going all night long. Yeah, it’s pumping. It never rests. If it rests, you’d be with Jesus. So my heart, thank you, Father God, for pumping that blood and that water through my system by heart, by the heart. It’s so good. And he goes on in the passion to say, stand on your feet alert, then you’ll always be ready to share the blessings of peace. Isaiah 52 verse 7 tells us that the feet of the messenger coming over the mountain to announce good news is a beautiful sight. The messenger comes to refresh us with wonderful news announcing salvation to Zion and saying, your mighty God reigns. Our God reigns, friend, our God reigns. In every battle, take faith as your wrap around shield for it is able to extinguish the blazing arrows and bullets coming at you from the evil one. Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies and take the mighty razor sharp spirit sword of the spoken word of God. Now this is in the passion and this is, let’s see, we’re going through 17 Ephesians 6 17 and take the mighty razor sharp spirit sword of the spoken word of God. He’s not telling you just to read the word and keep a logos mentality. No, he’s saying you take those scriptures on protection, take those scriptures on God taking care of you. You take those scriptures, write them down if you’ve got to, if you can’t memorize them, write them down. You will soon memorize them. And that’s why I have the power pack. That power pack has wonderful fundamental scriptures that you can use every day for hopelessness, for illness, for hate, for unforgiveness. It helps you. And if you’d like a power pack, I’ll send you a power pack. Now if you’d like the binder, I’m going to, you know what, I’m going to give you a special here. I’ve had to raise the prices, but right now for the regular in the cassette case, it’s $6.50 and for the binder on the in the acrylic binder for $10. So I can send you the one in the cassette case for nothing when you call me after the program. And if you’d like the binder, it’s only $10 right now. So the spoken word you’ve got to learn to speak speak speak like Kimberly was talking last week when Matthew began speaking to his finger his bloody infected finger what happened. God healed it. He spoke. He spoke. Pray passionately in the spirit as you constantly intercede with every form of prayer at all times. Pray the blessings of God upon all his believers. Now it’s like this precious girl who came and helped me. I was lugging this big bucket of the October Express to the post office. And I guess she saw me get out the car says, oh, this little old lady needs some help. And so as I was getting around the car to walk up the sidewalk and at our post office, we’ve got to go up 10 to 12 steps. And she says, can I take that for you? Here she is a precious girl probably in her early 20s, a petite and she had the cute hat on her head. And she took that bucket and she just went ahead of me. It was so precious. And I asked her her name and she said, Haley. So if you remember the name Haley today, pray for how Haley that he would just bless her socks off. He will open the windows of heaven for her. Thank you, Father for Haley. Bless her. And if she doesn’t know you, Lord God, oh, she had such a great smile. If she doesn’t know you, Lord Jesus. Oh, I thank you for salvation for Haley today and in your precious name. So we are now a part of a community that prays for one another and being a part of a spiritual community is like being in an ice cream shop. You don’t know which one to choose. You don’t know which flavor to choose. Oh, I love, I love going to that high point creamery. The Kimberly and I go to oh my goodness. It is so good and it’s all natural, all good for you. As I read first Peter two five through seven, I realized that what I was quoting was in the plural. It’s plural. You’re not just a chosen one, you are a chosen generation of people, a royal priesthood. You are a community of priests. You are not alone in this kingdom realm, a holy nation of peculiar people as living stones. You are continually being assembled into a sanctuary for God. You are one part of a whole bunch of parts making a wonderful temple of God. Maybe for some of you, you haven’t thought of yourself as a valuable part that makes up a congregation, but that’s what you are in God’s sight. You are serving a Savior who’s the living water. Are you thirsty? He’s the living water. The doorway of salvation. Are you lost? He’s the door. He’s the door of opportunity for you. The bread of life when you’re hungry. The light of the world when you’re in darkness. He is the one who sustains you and blesses you in every way as you let him. Jesus tells us in the New Testament that he is the door. The door he opens loses. And the door it loses into revelation knowledge, treasures, favor, opportunity. Now Jesus says he is the door in Revelation 3. I want to go there. It’s so good. Revelation 3 verse 8 through 22. And we’re getting closer and closer to that time that John was writing about. And the… Our Lord Jesus describes his own power as mediator in Revelation 3 verse 7. He has the key of David. Now in last week, I told you about the key of David in Isaiah 22, the Valley of Vision. And he was talking about Eliacum taking the authority from Shemna. And that authority was to open doors and to close doors. We got that same authority friend. You can close doors and in the name of Jesus, you can open other doors. Some people leave the doors open for 40 years. And then it’s God. It won’t close anymore. You’re remembering the past too much. That’s a real temptation for older people. Jesus’ power in the kingdom of heaven is that key of David. And in ordering all the affairs of that kingdom is absolute. Rulers should be fathers to those under their government. And the honor men bring into their families by their piety and usefulness is more to be valued than what they derive from names and titles. You can have all the titles in the world. You can have all the names in the highfalute and honor in the world. But if you’re not a humble father of God and you’re a spiritual covering over your family, it’s nothing. The glory of this world gives a man no real worth or excellence. It is but hung upon him and it will soon drop from him. Now in Revelation 3, Jesus is speaking here and he says, “I know all the things you do. I’ve opened a door for you that no one can close. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me. Look, I will force those who belong to Satan, synagogue. Yep, there are those in these last days. They belong to Satan. Those liars who say they are Jews but are not to come and bow down at your feet. They will acknowledge that you are the ones I love. Because you have obeyed my command to persevere. I will protect you from the great time of testing. That’s the tribulation that will come upon the whole world to test those who belong to this world. I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have so that no one will take away your crown. All who are victorious will become pillars in the temple of my God. And they will never have to leave. And I will write on them the name of my God and they will be citizens in the city of my God. Who’s he talking about? The new Jerusalem, praise the Lord. The Jerusalem that comes down from heaven from my God. And I will also write on them the new name. A new name that no one knows now but it will be upon our foreheads, my friend. We will recognize everybody as brothers and sisters. Oh, what a joyous reunion. Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. I want to tell you today that Jesus is the answer for any question, any issue, any problem you have. Just to speak the name of Jesus over fear and all anxiety to every soul held captive by depression. To speak the name of Jesus because His name is power. His name is healing. His name is life. Praise God. Here’s charity, Gail. [Music] I just want to speak the name of Jesus over every heart and every mind because I know there is peace within your dress. I speak Jesus. I just want to speak the name of Jesus to every dark addiction starts to break. To clearing there is hope and there is freedom. I speak Jesus. Your name is power. Your name is healing. Your name is life. Break every stronghold. Shine through the shadows. But life is fire. I just want to speak the name of Jesus over fear and all anxiety to every soul held captive by depression. I speak Jesus. Your name is power. Your name is healing. Your name is life. Yes it is. Break every stronghold. Shine through the shadows. But life is fire. Your name is power. And we declare it is. Your name is life. Bring every stronghold. Shine through the shadows. But life is fire. Shall Jesus from the mountains, Jesus in the streets, Jesus in the darkness over every enemy. And Jesus for my family, I speak the Holy Name. Jesus. Oh, shall Jesus from the mountains, Jesus in the streets, Jesus in darkness over every enemy. Jesus for my family, I speak the Holy Name. Jesus. Your name is power. Your name is healing. Your name is life. Break every stronghold. Shine through the shadows. But life is fire. Your name is power. Your name is healing. Your name is healing. Break every stronghold. Shine through the shadows. But life is fire. I just want to speak the name of Jesus. We just want to speak the name of Jesus friend. When you know him, you want to speak the name of Jesus because he is power. He is healing. He is life. Praise the Lord. Jesus says here in Revelation 3, I hope you can take some time to read the third chapter of Revelation. Jesus says, you say, I am rich. I have everything I want. I don’t need a thing. And you don’t realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. So I advise you to buy gold from me, capital M, me, gold that has been refined by fire, then you will be rich. Also buy white garments from me. Oh, that’s when we come to know him as Savior. We become that righteousness. We’ve got a robe of righteousness, my friend. I correct and discipline. Everyone I love. Remember that. He corrects and disciplines as we need it. So be diligent and turn from your indifference. Look, I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we will share a meal together as friends. Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne just as I was victorious and sat with my father on his throne. So where are you going to sit? You’re sitting with Jesus at the throne. Ephesians 2 tells us that also anyone with ears to hear must listen to the spirit and understand what he’s saying to the churches. So remember that church at Leodicea that he was just talking about that church in these last days, we’re living in the Leodicean church. And he says, I know the things you do, you are neither hot nor cold. I wish you were one or the other, but since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth because you’re so complacent. You’re so comfortable with where you are and you’re so indifferent with the things that are going on. Well, this last minute I’m going to ask you to vote. I’m going to do that. I am going to encourage you and challenge you to register to vote because we know that 40 million, 40 million Christians, 40 million Christians have not registered to vote. Come on. Come on. I would pray. Oh, this would be so wonderful. I would pray that everything and everyone who’s listening to me, I, instead of everything everyone who’s listening to me, you have registered to vote. And you’re going to vote according to the spirit of God. No pro-abortion here, friend. No, no killing of babies. Pray for the pro-life and vote that way. Oh, God bless you. I know you, I’m sounding political, but this is the destiny of America that we are up against in the future of America and future generations, your children and grandchildren. Remember that. God bless you and keep you and take joy. [Music] Thank you for listening to Call to Freedom with Barbara Carmack. You may get in touch with Barbara at Call to Freedom.
