Good morning, everyone.
God bless everybody. Welcome to our faith class today. This is Bishop Benjamin.
We're in, where it's sunshiny, Richmond, Virginia.
And, so we are thankful for what Gold is doing and how he is moving, so diligently, to fulfill his word. We are in the middle of the what we call Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, today. And, many that are celebrating, traveling, or or or doing different, celebrations, to, to, commemorate and to understand what this means for the nation of Israel.
We are in this place where God wants to bring, reconciliation.
He's always in the scriptures telling us to come back to him. Glory be to god. Return unto me and I will return unto you like god has left. Amen.
God is still there. He hasn't gone anywhere. But on this wonderful day and this time that we're in, let us remember Israel. Let us pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Let us pray for our nation.
Pray as we as GoCare is allowing itself to, to expand. Glory be to god in health care and understanding what the exposure is doing, and and so our our whole month and theme, this month is is is gonna be dealing with the release, the release of the joy. We're gonna be talking about this, for the month of October.
And, we're gonna get in trouble, of course, but we're talking about reaping the abundance of joy. Reaping the abundance of joy. Of course, this is all in correlation with the fall feast. We call them festivals, feast of those.
Amen. The, the course, the the start out with the blast, the the shofar, the feast of the feast of trumpets. Glory be to Gold. And, also, when we, talk about, the the feast of tabernacles, the Feast of Booths.
It it just it just keeps getting more escalating to to Israel understanding.
I really wanted you guys to know who I am and, to come to me, to to come to me, to be with me. Hallelujah. I'm taking you to the promised land, not for you to just be a nation all by yourself. I I'm bringing you into the promised land so that you could be with me.
I'm not bringing you to the promised land because of the the milk and the honey. I call it silken Simone.
But look, GoCare is about to go through an expansion and we have to get ready. We have to get ready for what's about to happen in god bringing us closer to him. Hallelujah.
As we get closer to Hanukkah, and and understanding Christmas and what that really is all about even though Jesus probably was not born in December. Amen. Amen. Praise god But but what that means to us in getting closer to god and getting closer to him and and and so reaping joy, I'm I'm I'm I'm and and and so let's get ready for this month as we dive into the scriptures.
Father god, thank you for thank you for just bringing us together one more time. Thank you for these faith classes. Thank you for doctor Gold who has implemented faith in health in health and wealth, wealth sharing, health sharing. Thank you that you will bless her staff, her team, her doctors and nurses, and all the clients and the wonderful people that are gathered, oh god, to to to to bring nourishment, to to bring, oh god, their their their wonderful gifts and talents and abilities.
Thank you, Lord, that you will have your way this month of October in Jesus' name, in the name of Yeshua, in the Gold of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Amen.
Alright. Our scripture today and welcome, everyone. Welcome to our faith class today. It's gonna be a very short lesson, but, I want to, go right into, our scripture today and most of you guys know this scripture. You already know, the scripture probably by heart, but it's out of Nehemiah eight and ten and I'm gonna be reading out of the King James Version. It may sound like the New King James, but I'm gonna be reading out of Nehemiah, the book of Nehemiah.
Glory be to Gold. And and why the enemy is so the enemy hates the fact that God's word still prevails, overall, over everything. Everything we do, the word of God prevails.
And, Nehemiah eight and ten allows us to understand the power of how, god continues even in building. Because this is what we're doing here at at GoCare, expanding and building and building and expanding.
We we have to know that only Gold can be who he is and still allow us to reap.
Glory be to Gold. The enemy, of course, is trying to sow, sow, sow, sow, sow everything possible to get us to be discouraged. He sows seeds too. That's what you gotta remember. Not only, is is Gold sowing seeds, but the enemy is also sowing seeds as well. And and so we have to be able to get to this place where our joy is overflowing in spite of or despite what we see going on.
And and no one better than, Nehemiah, Nehemiah could explain this to us. Now look at this. Nehemiah and I'm gonna read this.
This is the King James King James, version, right out of knee Nehemiah, eight eight and ten.
And this is I'm gonna read the NIV version this time. Okay? And I'll go back to the King James. But Nehemiah said, go and in and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks and send some to those who have nothing prepared.
This day is holy to our lord.
Do not grieve for the joy of the lord is your strength. Wow.
Wow. Wow. Could you could you imagine could you imagine, what was going on here and and the whole emphasis, behind why Nehemiah was saying not, not to grieve. What I like, anybody ever read the Matthew, Henry commentary, I gotta read this to you, on on Nehemiah eight and ten, and why the back why was he telling them, go share.
Go share your food. Go go come on. Strengthen the people. Glory be to god. Do not do not grieve.
The this this thing, when people are down, sometimes our emotions can get the best of us. Let's say amen. That's for all of us. I don't care who you are.
Your emotions can sometime get the best of you and I. They do. Let's be honest. We're human.
And so you gotta have some some some encouragement. Gotta have leadership, some in place, to tell us what to do when grief overtakes, overtakes us. And so the Matthew Henry commentary is is something that I use, sometimes, you know, just to get some background and some back backdrop and and and why Gold does what he does sometimes.
And, chapter eight, Nehemiah and this is funny. But the the is this this whole joy received from Gold, not self generated. That's, you ever say I make myself happy? Well, in this case, this is not what god was prescribing to them to make yourself happy. That's that's not where the source of your strength is. And and so, enabling people to share abundantly with others.
So to in order to really share with others, you need the strength that comes from Gold. Whoo.
We're not talking about self generated, this this type of strength.
The whole thing about, connection. This is what this is what Matthew Henry commentary says.
The connection between joyful reception of god's word and the resulting generosity stating that true comfort and strength come from understanding god's word which fosters a spirit of sharing rather than self reliance and I can tell you, we're in this season where some people can say, well, I got this. I can take care of myself and and I I don't need anybody's help and that that self reliance when we the more we read god's word, the more we should understand.
Glory be to god that we need each other. Our nation is divided. Y'all know that. The enemy is played a a game on us to get us to have the blacks over there, the whites over there, the Presbyterians over there, the Lutherans over there, the Baptists over here, the Pentecostals way over there, the Catholics over there, you know, the the the Hispanics over there, then all of that. And then we're not even including, immigrants who have come from other places like Germany and Austria, in Ireland, in Scotland, in Africa, and all kinds of people are over here in America but yet the enemy has played his hand in trying to divide us like crazy.
Those that saw the or heard about the speech that secretary Pete Hefsef did, god bless you, doctor Thomas.
The the the speech that he did saying everybody gotta ship up or ship shape up or what? Ship out.
It was it was it was a shocker for some.
You you you you mean I have to do push ups?
You mean I have to run a mile again? I haven't done that in twenty years.
Wow. So so a four star general means what?
You don't work anymore? You don't you don't keep yourself fit? You don't you don't stay in shape? That's what that's what a four star, five star general means?
Amen. With your cup of coffee. Look. I was in the navy. I saw these guys.
These guys could not save themselves despite themselves. Amen. They they they they they couldn't jump in the water and get anybody out the water. If somebody fell into the water or what whatever happened, They they they weren't in shape.
They they were not in shape.
Not not in not in shape on the ship. Come on somebody. Not in shape on the ship. Hello?
And and and and and so what a wake up call yesterday for some, and some people were very angry. They would rather us have men in women's clothes wearing pumps in the military, going through transgender surgeries. I'm just saying, what what what is what is going on here? What what are we ready to fight?
And then some some of the women were a little bit angry saying that you might not qualify for certain jobs because it's it's very strenuous. Some of the women were a little bit angry with that, but it got gotta understand we're in war. We're in war. We're in war.
And and and you gotta carry your weight.
Now, there's some women, you better get out their way.
You better get out their way.
Glory be to Gold and and do qualify But but but understanding what what we're saying here, what was the what was the focus in the goal of department of war?
And that's one of the reasons why president Trump put the executive order in to change the name. It's not official yet, but still, the executive order was put in place to to say, come on, Congress. What are we here for? Are are we here to have a weak military? So it's the same thing with health care. Same thing with your relationships.
God was telling them, in this commentary that your real true comfort and strength comes from understanding god's word. We cannot comfort another person without the word of god. We cannot strengthen another person without the word of god, without a true understanding.
And and and so here's some key aspects.
God given joy. The joy of the lord is your strength. God given joy. What does that mean?
The joy described is not merely an emotional feeling, but a divine gift and strength from god himself. Who wants joy from god himself? Oh, somebody say I want that type of joy. Oh, yes.
I want that type of joy.
Ai is gonna probably take some notes to me. I just have to ask permission from the host. Glory be to god but god but god wants god wants this type of joy. God wants to give you his joy.
I am determined and I pray that everyone at GoCare, doctor Gold and everyone, when we feel weak, when we feel depressed, when we feel like we can't take it no more, we go, Gold, give me your joy. God, please give me your joy and understand what that really means and how we can fight the good fight of faith with the joy that comes from Gold. And and and and so, the the the other point is that the joy of the lord we're talking about connected to god's word. So get you a good bible, Get you a good Bible, good commentary, and study it, break it down as the scripture says in the New Testament. That we are to study to show ourselves approved unto god, not unto man. If you study for man, then you only gonna get the highlights in the Bible, okay? But if you study according unto god, you're gonna eat that word like it's your life.
Hallelujah. Every word. How much how much should man live? The Bible says man shall not live by bread alone.
This is Gold testament scripture that Jesus, our own lord and messiah, amen, quoted out of the Gold testament to Satan.
In Matthew chapter four in the New Testament, he said, man shall not live by bread Simone, but by what? How much? Every word that proceeded forth out of the mouth of god. So that's how you should read the Bible. Every word, every word, every word. Okay? And and so so some of you might need to go through what we call a, a reading plan where you read the Bible from Genesis to Revelations.
Hey. That sounds good. There are some Bible apps. I have a Bible app that that not only I could read, but it also plays the words. So I can listen to Genesis, to to Revelations.
I can listen to whatever book of the Bible while I'm while I'm, you know, might be sitting down or doing something, but I wanna hear the word too. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of Gold. But get something that can take you through the whole Bible.
If you could do it in a year, that's great. But don't don't stress yourself. Amen. Just start getting used to reading the word on a regular daily basis. Okay? On a regular basis because that's where your understanding of how and and Neabiah was trying to tell him.
You're gonna you're gonna have to be able to comfort and to strengthen, and understanding that this the the real comfort and the real strength is through reading God's word, and you can't strengthen other people. You ever got worn out trying to help somebody? Who who am I talking to? You anybody ever got worn out? I mean, just totally worn out, drained, tired, trying to help someone else.
Anybody anybody wanna say amen to that? Looks like, Bishop, I can't do no more. I am just could you imagine a hospital getting drained and tired of helping other people? You're a hospital.
What do you mean you're tired of helping people? Well, the hospital needs to get some strength from god's word.
How do you know? Could you imagine what happened during COVID? Prescribing all these crazy prescriptions and stuff that was killing people? Come on, somebody. Where's the joy?
Where's the joy? People are dying. What are you doing? Prescribing certain things that did not work and you know it didn't work.
Some doctors just looked the other way. I just, lord, father, forgive them for they know not what they do. Maybe some did some maybe some did know what they were doing. Hello?
But the the true strength and the comfort for other people come from the word of Gold. So should so the question is today, should hospitals have the word of God?
Whoo. Should schools have the word of God in it? I'm being I'm being very, rhetorical here.
Maybe facetious a little bit. Should should our homes have the word of Gold? I'm trying to comfort my wife, and I have no word in me. I'm trying to comfort my children. My wife is trying to comfort me, and she has no word in her. Wow.
Should should businesses have the word of Gold in them? Should there be a Bible read in businesses?
We we in our daycare, we we we read scriptures every morning at our daycare.
Yes. We do. Oh, yeah. And we have praise and worship.
In in some places like in Japan, and some of you guys can follow-up with this, they exercise before they work.
It's best in some of these countries. They say you gotta be fit.
Oh, you come on a job and coughing and not healthy, so they exercise before they work. Glory be to Gold. Health and wellness go together. Health and wellness go together.
And we know that our true health comes from the word of god. That's the source of our strength. That's the source of our comfort. And and and so this is very important.
The other point is generosity and sharing. Generosity and sharing. Because this joy is so abundant and comes from god's bounty. So, we're talking about reaping the abundance of joy.
We're not talking about a little bit a little bit of joy. We're talking about reaping the abundance of joy. So, this whole thing about why I can share so much, why I can give out so much, why I can pour out so much is because I'm not the source.
I got it from God.
So that's why some of us You love?
Are like the, the what is that thing? The Energizer Bunny.
It's like, do you ever run out of strength?
And they made a good that was a good commercial. Right? He keeps going and going and going and going. Well, that's what happens when you get this joy from Gold.
It's like you just you just keep going and going, and I didn't say that you didn't need rest and need to go to sleep. I'm just saying this type of joy and strength, this type of strength and comfort for others is not coming from you alone. It's coming from God.
And and so very important that if you're gonna start sharing with others, the the people were to send portions of their rich food to those who had less, Demonstrating that god's blessing should make them bountiful. So Nehemiah was saying, look, you guys got a whole lot. Start giving it to the people who have less than you.
Wow.
Could you imagine Israel, the the the the princes of Israel and the and the rich of poor folk of Israel were holding back their food from the poor?
And they needed Nehemiah to come and tell them, go and share your food with people who don't have as much as you.
Wow.
And he's and he said, don't be grieved for the joy of the lord is your strength. Don't be saying, you you ever had people help you, but it sound like they it's like it was a burden.
I'm gonna give you this food. I'm tired. I don't know if I if I'm gonna have anymore left after I give you this food. He be like, well, keep your food.
Keep your food. If it's gonna stress you out, and that's what Nehemiah was telling these rich people. He says, don't be stressed out giving people your food and sharing what you have with them. For the joy of the lord is your strength. So so, I'm just gonna say it one more time. Have anybody ever helped you and made you feel guilty because they helped you?
That's what Nehemiah was preventing from happening with the rich in Israel.
Don't do that. Don't make the people feel like, you know, this is really hurting me to give you my food and to give you my resources.
I'm just so stressed out. No. He says, be not don't don't be grieved when you're helping people. If that's the case, keep it. Amen.
Hallelujah. Paul was saying that to the Corinthian church, talking about giving. He he says he says, don't don't give out of necessity.
Amen. For god loves a what?
A joyful giver.
Ah.
So so so so I know pastor and I say a joke. We say a joke in our church. He said, if y'all is gonna be grieved about your giving, keep your money. But I I've learned to say sometimes give it anyway. Maybe you get some joy in a little while.
But, really, you want people to give out of the joy of the Lord, not out of necessity.
No. No. Not out of grief.
That doesn't work for the individual.
Hallelujah.
And so you want you want them to to do whatever they're gonna do with a certain, what, attitude. Your altitude determines your attitude. So joy brings you to a high place in Gold. How many wanna go to a higher place in God? Well, that's the joy that comes from God.
Whoo.
There are there are pleasures at his right hand forevermore.
Glory be to god. So the the the last part, rejection of self reliance. Here, Matthew Henry is is really emphasizing, the contrast, that is divinely derived. He says there, the the Dr. strength with the weakness of relying on one's own power, a deceptive tactic of the devil.
So when you and I start to rely on our own power, that is called deception when you're trying to help other people. Now I know GoCare wants doctors and nurses and staff and all that. Not you can't do this on your own strength. Do you know taking care of people, you gonna need something more than your own strength?
Look what happened to the breakdown during COVID nineteen.
What happened to these doctors? What happened to these nurses where you're no longer caring for people?
You are now doing something else. Glory be to god. And and and and and and so he commanded instead, he commanded to celebrate with rich food and drink, as an invitation to draw from God's unending abundance. So he told the rich in Israel, come on. Let's celebrate.
Let's celebrate as you're giving to the poor, as you're giving of your food, of your now look. Of your best food.
Hello? Of your best drink. Remember Jesus at the wedding of Cana?
The man said, oh my god. Normally, at a wedding, you give the best stuff in the beginning and save the the the the drags for last, but you have saved the best for last. What was that? A six six signifying Jesus as, his first miracle in the in in Cana was signifying, that Gold doesn't run out of his best.
Hallelujah.
And that he was sending his best, the Messiah, to Israel after two after what? Four thousand years, two thousand years. Glory be to Gold, since what? Abraham, since Genesis.
Glory be to god. You mean forty and two generations?
You would think Gold would send a wimp. No. God sent his best, his only begotten son. Whoo.
So so let's just know that you have to reject self reliance.
It's not your power. Remember, not by might.
Remember?
Talking Zechariah, talking to Zerubbabel, not by might nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the lord of hosts. Glory be to god. You're gonna build this temple, Zechariah. You're gonna finish this this temple.
And look, speaking of temples, wouldn't it be something for us in our lifetime to see the temple in Israel rebuilt in our lifetime? Wouldn't that be something? That's a sign and a signal that that the end is really coming because that's the gospel. That's the gospel to see that temple built.
Glory be to Gold. But, anyway, I I I digress.
A life of joy and strength. True strength for a for for for a a life comes from an inward divinely given gladness that is rooted in god's love and allows a person to do great things while still enjoying life blessings. So Gold doesn't want you to be broke, poor, busted, and disgusted while you're helping other people. That's not the joy of the lord.
The joy of the lord is so that you can share what you have with others while you and I are still enjoying what Gold has given us. That's the strength that god wants to give us. That's the joy. So I wanna stop right there.
Get out the way. Any positive comments or questions before we close? But to this month, we're gonna reap this abundance. We're gonna talk about this joy this month.
Anybody before we close the call today? Positive comments or questions, prayer requests.
I was hoping somebody would come on before me.
Hallelujah. The joy of the Lord is our strength. Hallelujah.
Amen to that. You know, there's so many different ways.
When I look at the book of Nehemiah, Nehemiah is going back to rebuild Jerusalem again that was torn down when Babylon went in there. And they're reading the word for the first time and laying out to the people what Gold wanted to do for because seventy years, they were in exile. Seventy years in exile, again, predicted.
And they hadn't been celebrating the, the festivals, as we call them.
But then I I looked at the fact of, you know, some of us are. When you look at the book of James, it says, consider it all joy my brothers when you encounter various trials knowing that the testing of your faith brings about perseverance. And that perseveres have its perfect work so that you may be perfect and complete lacking in nothing.
Happiness is a human condition.
Joy is a godly condition.
Gold wants his joy in you despite the suffering.
Front of millions of people forgiving the person who killed her husband just two weeks prior.
And then I see her on Thursday on the Charlie Kirk show, and she has the joy of the Lord despite her suffering.
We have to understand, we have to understand that this world is fallen.
And the only way we can bring this fallenness into the richness of the Lord is having the joy of the Lord and understanding, as bishop just said, that we cannot do what we are doing right now or going through what we're going through right now without the strength and the joy of the Lord. It's through as as James says, and James is the brother of of Jesus, and he saw his brother sacrificed on a awful cross, consider it all joy, my brothers, when you count the various trials.
Because it's those trials that helps you strengthen your faith, that helps you persevere through the hardships, but also that Gold rewards you as you go through them, strengthen you, and comforting you. Corinthians talks about comfort others as you were comfort when you were going through trials and tribulations.
And that's how people see that there is a Gold, that he's not the Gold of the Egyptians who had multiple gods, but he is the God of all the universe, of all the peoples on the earth if they would just seek and find him.
And we are those that represent, as it says in the scriptures, we are ambassadors of the kingdom of heaven to bring that joy and to bring that comfort and to bring that love. One of the things I love about working for Gold is that I can pray with all of those people who come to consult with me. Many of them hurt. Many of them have found out they have some debilitating disease like Alzheimer's or dementia or cancer or heart disease. And the world has not helped them, and then I come come alongside of them and be able to give them the joy of the Lord, be able to lift them up in their time of distress, understanding, yes, there is hope. There's always hope in the Lord. Always.
And then to see people turn around and come back at me saying my my Alzheimer's is gone. My dementia is gone. It's not me who's doing it. It's gone.
My cancer is gone. My heart disease is gone. It's the Lord who's doing that in their lives, and they need to seek him. We need oh, we all need him right now.
This world is not a a well place, but we were created for time as this to be in this world, to be able to bring the comfort of the Lord, but also to see the prophecies being fulfilled. And I know some things are, you know, we see sometimes are really bad, these attacks on churches, you know, the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk. But at the same token, we're also noticing the fact that, prophecy is being fulfilled. Those of us who preach prophecy, no prophecy.
I'm seeing prophecy fulfilled. Thus, the time of the Lord is near, and we need to rejoice in that and have joy in that. That soon, the savior, the king of the universe is coming back and rescuing us from what is happening, and they will be true full joy in his kingdom, in his righteousness, and in his glory.
Oh, that is that is so excellent. I, I have to say because what's what's going on right now with with my family and the strength that I need right now to do, the things I'm doing with with my, my house and the ministry and the business and the things we're doing with, around the nation.
If if we don't get this joy, like, five minutes ago, we're gonna tell people I can't do anymore. I'm I touch. It's like you're running out of strength at the very time that you need strength.
And I think what what doctor John said is right on point.
You don't wanna run out of strength at the very moment that you need strength, especially if others are depending upon you.
And doctor Gold is seeing this strength now come in manifested ways.
It's it's coming in so many different ways right now. And, I want us to be see if I can turn my camera on because I'm I'm taking my my grandchildren to the day care right now. But, I want I want us to be in a place where we say, Gold, let's be honest. I'm about to run out.
I'm about to go cray cray up in here. I'm about to lose it. I need your joy because it's not my joy. It's your joy.
So doctor John, with the prophecies coming to pass, remember some of the prophecies are like famines. They're gonna be famines. They're gonna be earthquakes.
They're they're gonna be pestilences.
That's also prophecies. So it's not all good stuff.
It's gonna be some very, some are gonna be persecuted.
They're gonna kill Jesus said they're gonna kill some of you thinking that they're doing God a service.
Amen. Then he shall throw you out of the synagogue It saying that that god told me to throw you out of the synagogue.
So all the prophecies are not candy and pie and cake. Some of these prophecies one of the prophecies is that a star is gonna fall from the sky and gonna cause a third of the animals in the water to die.
That's a prophecy.
A third of the water is gonna turn to blood like it happened in Egypt. That's a prophecy.
And if we don't have the joy, many people, I'm telling you, what's gonna happen, we're gonna start we're gonna stop helping each other. It's gonna be every man for himself.
And I don't want that to happen to us here at GoCare or to anywhere else. I don't wanna happen in my house where I tell my wife, you're on your own.
I can't I can't help you no more. I need my own strength for my could you imagine me? Y'all be like, bitch, did you just tell your wife she's on her own?
What did you just say that? I mean, so so we need this joy.
We need this joy like yesterday.
Our president needs this joy. I don't know how that man does it, but it it it's not just his strength. We know that there's an anointing on his life to do what he's doing right now, to keep up with the pace.
So we need this joy.
Kathy. Yes. Kathy says amen. We need this joy. Anyone else before we close? Doctor John, you hit it right on the head.
Right on the head. These prophecies are coming like birth pangs now.
Amen. Amen.
They're coming.
The good, bad, and the ugly. Anybody else? Jump out there. The joy of the Lord is our strength.
Who else? Prayer requests.
Glory be to Gold. Can we make sure these calls are available to watch again? This is Jerry.
Last time I tried, the videos don't play. Not sure who to ask about this. Doctor John, he's gonna have to help me out with that. I'm not sure.
Well, customer service, ma'am, when we get off this call, I'm gonna check.
But customer service is usually the person the people that you contact with things like that happen Okay.
To find out. No. There was a turnover of, IT personnel, so I don't know what's going on. The person I would know to contact is not there anymore.
So Okay.
Alright. We'll get that straight, Jerry. Yeah. Okay?
Got But get it get it back get it back to what you're saying is that we need to constantly look towards Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is the canary in the coal mine. So whatever's happened in Israel is gonna happen here because we are connected at the hip, whether people like it or not. We are connected at the hip. So like I said, prop like you said, prophecy is coming. The birth pangs are coming. Earthquakes, floods, pestilence.
The Euphrates River drying up. That's a a prophetic, prophecy coming to to to light.
So the joy of the lord is necessary in order for us to continue. And don't forget the Sabbath. We need to also honor the Sabbath.
Hallelujah. I saw the thing about the t shirts. We just got our T shirt design redone.
So those those links will be going out this week, right around look. They they have atonement. So thank you. Thank you, Lord, for a toning forward.
We had to we redesigned our our shirt on our key. So Gold those will be coming this week. You'll get a email, for those who are looking for the t shirt. So just make sure you email us at faith at gold care dot com.
Faith at gold care dot com, requesting a t shirt. God bless you. I think one of the things that Nehemiah because they built the wall in fifty two days, it didn't take as long as some of them thought, to rebuild the wall. But then he had to deal with of the other things, like how the rich people were treating the poor people in Israel.
Nehemiah eight and ten gives us an example that even though we built the walls, we finished the walls, and, you know, now let's start dealing with how we treat each other. Because, of course, that was an eyesore looking at the gates broken down, the walls and everything. But sometimes how can I say it like this?
When we when we cannot sometimes see the real state of a nation until we fix other things. For example, what happened when president Trump sealed the border?
Well, now we can pay attention to all these gangs that are now inside our nation terrorizing people.
But until we plug the hole, so to speak, this is what Nehemiah did by restoring the gates at Jerusalem and building the wall. Now we can deal with the other situations that are going on within the nation. And and so this is what's going on in America right now. Now, we can deal with Maja, make America healthy again.
We can deal with some of these things, but we had to deal with other things, national security. Our our military was looking very poor. We oh my god. I can tell you myself being a navy man that how many ships we're we are behind in production, and and other countries are building up their navy, building up their ships, building up their air place.
We were down in production, and that's not a good sign. That's not a good sign. So we gotta deal with certain things first. First things first, build the wall, seal up the hole, plug in the gaps, and now we can start to deal with other issues.
And that's exactly what Nehemiah now was starting to do, with the children of Israel. Anybody else before we close the call? Anything you wanna say about that, doctor John? I can't sometimes deal with certain things until I fix other things.
Well, I think sometimes what what we end up doing is that we have to sometimes follow the lead of the Lord because even though there's something that's out of whack in one area, sometimes that's not ready to be fixed yet. God opens up a door for us to go and fix something else that is available to us to go ahead and fix. And I think what the what the president has done was the right thing to do is shut down the border to stop the influx of these enemy combatants that are coming in and that's exactly what's going on as enemy combatants when we're looking at. We have we have traders within our walls. Jerusalem built walls to keep the enemy out from it.
We had borders that were opened up to the enemies to come in. And sometimes and that goes for our own personal life. Sometimes we have to look at our own personal life or who the enemies within that are that are failing us or keeping us from reaching the goals that god wants for us to do. And I've had to learn that in my life that certain people, they just use you to use you and waste your time, but they're not helping you go go forward in what Gold has you to do. And it's difficult because as a people person, those of us who are pastors, we're we're called to shepherd the flock.
And we sometimes wanna you want everybody to succeed, but not everybody wants to succeed. And sometimes you have to let go of those things that don't want to succeed in order to move forward in other things that Gold wants us to succeed in.
So we have to look at that too. Again, it's the it's the strength of the lord, and it's discernment from god to point us in the right direction that we need.
Amen. Amen. Anybody else? Prayer requests, comments.
Glory be to Gold. You guys, we just love you all. Cathy, Cynthia, Diane, Jackie.
Two Jackies. We got two Jackies today. Jerry, Michelle, doctor Thomas.
We would love to hear from you all. We would love to hear about your experience when the joy kicked in. Anybody wanna give us your experience about when the joy kicked in? I'm talking about the real joy, not not our own generate regenerated generated joy.
But when did when did the joy of the Lord kick in? Anybody wanna share or just give a comment about the the the joy, when he was about to run out of strength, he was about to run out of, oh my god, just wanting to do something. And then Gold came at that, we call the final hour. That God Jesus promised us too in book of revelations that I will keep you from the hour of temptation.
He he said that. I will keep not we keep ourself from the hour of temptation. He says, I will keep you from the hour. There's gonna be a temptation coming for all of us where if we don't have this joy, oh my god. It's gonna take us down. But it's a promise from the word of Gold that we will be kept from the hour of temptation.
Jesus told his disciples when he was praying in the garden, he says, watch with me for what? One hour.
And they fell asleep every single time.
He says, alright. Sleep on.
The son of man is being betrayed. Here I go. But you guys are gonna get it one day. That you're gonna have to be able to watch as well as pray. You're gonna have to be kept doing the hour of temptation.
Anybody before we close the call? Anybody?
Good morning. It's me.
No. I can relate I can relate to those times when you feel like that eleventh hour and, you know, you you pray and, like, I pray all the time. And all of a sudden, you know, I find it just you know, when I pray and I'm really seeking, you know, true prayer to Gold, and I'm, you know, asking, well, you know, what about this or what about that? You know, He takes that off me.
He takes that burden off me. So even times when there's these times when even going through what we're going through now at the house, you know, there's times when I feel like I just I'm at my wit's end. And I can just sit when I told you about my evening walks, and I have those conversations with Gold. And it feels like that weight lifts off my shoulders, directions or ideas or new directions or another door kind of opens.
And I I can really relate to that. When you see it, when you feel like doors close, somehow there's a door that opens. And I've been there many times in my life, so I can truly say that I truly believe that. Send I it's a great, great message today.
The other thing I do wanna ask is please pray for my granddaughter, Madison. I've shared about her situation. And you know how we talk about people in your life that are toxic? Well, her mother, my son's ex wife, has made his life miserable.
Even now she's got full custody. And Madison, anything goes. Well, she got in trouble big time. And I mean big time with the law, big time.
And you know what? Mom will wash it away and say, oh, that's okay. And there's never an accountability. This child will never learn.
And she's heading down a path that, you know, my son is just, you know I know it's twisting him, and Anne doesn't leave him alone. You know, she is someone in his life who has made his life so unbearable at times. And I've tried, and I've actually sat and talked with him. And I, you know, I say I know she's your daughter, but you have to give this to Gold, and you've got to pray, and you've got to let go.
There's nothing he can do to change this. But, you know, I know God can. And, it's been rough on him, and it's been and I knew Madison was heading down that path. Well, she did.
Got the call about two days ago. And why am I not surprised?
But, you know, when you have a mom that even when she gets in trouble in school or she skips school, it's the teacher's fault. It's everyone else's fault except Madison's.
No. It's Madison's fault. She knows right and wrong, but she knows mom will let her do whatever she wants and no consequence or no accountability.
And it's sad because she's heading down a really wrong direction.
And, you know, I mean, all I can do is pray. All Chris can do is pray. And that's it. You know? So it's just kinda one of those challenges. I'm hoping that just God will take his loving arms and just wrap them around her because she's just heading in such a direction that, I don't know, the next time could be worse.
Amen. Well, father god, we thank you for the joy of the Lord for Kathy and her son and for Madison. We thank you, lord, that you will move in and that you will grant favor, oh god, for this family. Surround them with the grace of god and the mercy of God. It's because of your mercy that we are not consumed.
You are a consuming fire. Hallelujah. And so we thank you, Lord.
We thank you, lord, that you will divinely intervene before something else happens to Madison.
Break in, oh god. Move by your power, by your might. Jehovah Gabor, send your angels now to go and battle for this family ahead of time. Go watch over their stuff, their property, their houses, their land, every transaction that's going on right now.
We thank you father for victory in Jesus' name, Yahshua, the Gold of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
Amen.
Oh, hallelujah.
Oh, yeah. We trust God, Candy. We trust God. We need this joy. We need this joy or we are going to lose it.
We are going to go off. We, give with joy, Jerry says. Give with joy or pride is the motive. I like that.
Give with joy. We we Gold loves a joyful giver. Hallelujah.
Jerry said, it's the little foxes that spoil the vineyard. We must take captive every thought. Amen.
Amen.
Amen. Thank you guys so much today. We we are in this place now. The month of October, we're seeing also October seventh is coming up.
So you guys know what happened October seventh in Israel. This this is something that we gotta now pray for the joy of the Lord to hit Israel, so that they can keep being a sharing nation, a giving nation, and not one that holds back because of self reliance. Glory be to Gold. And and America too, America is a giving nation.
America is a sharing nation, and we don't wanna hold back because of self reliance. Glory be to god. Many people are still breaking the rules to get here.
They're still breaking the rules. Not as much as the border, but trust me, there are people who wanna get here to America still because of who we are and because of our Christian Judeo values. They wanna get to America. So Gold bless you all today. Final words, doctor John, before we close.
Yeah. I mean, with this quote, quote, unquote peace agreement that, Netanyahu, president Trump put forward, I continue to ask for the peace of Jerusalem, continue to look as Israel and the coal mine, continue to lift up, Turning Point USA. It is now a hundred and twenty thousand inquiries to start chapters.
And we're going to see a revival that this world hasn't seen ever.
So keep also pray for revival as we're gonna see a movement among the young people. That's where the revival's coming from. It's gonna be from the young people. And us and us who have churches and those who are within churches, we need to be prepared to accept these young believers back in. Some have never been church before, but Gold has used the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk in such a mighty way that I don't think and I'm I'm a history, you know, a history buff, and and I know a lot about the history of the church. I don't I have never seen anything like this before in in in in the history. Never.
Never. Wow. Alright. We're gonna be praying for these chapters. Wow. A hundred and twenty thousand. We're gonna be praying for Gold.
Doctor Gold is about to expand this whole health care health share, wealth share.
Amen. This program, ten dollars a month. I mean, where have you heard that? Glory be to god.
There there's some things that are going on and are happening, and we're just gonna stay encouraged. And you all that have to do some things this month doing this day of atonement and all the different festivals and and things going on, let us remember to just keep the phone lines open to this joy. Don't don't don't feel like, you know, Gold can't answer. He can answer any time of the day.
Gold, send me your joy. Just Just call on him. The Bible says, they that call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Call on him.
And and and and he's gonna answer. Joshua said to Jeremiah, while you're yet calling, he's answering.
Hallelujah.
And and we shall be found of him if we seek him with our whole heart. Glory be to god. Hallelujah. So father god, thank you.
Thank you, Lord, for doctor Gold and the team, doctor John and all the doctors here, doctor Thomas, and all the wonderful family of GoldCare. We praise you today on this day of atonement that we are accessing from now on, not our own strength, but your joy, which is our strength. We thank you so we can keep sharing, keep comforting others, keep giving. We thank you, lord.
I thank you, lord, for a double triple blessing for doctor John and his business. Oh Gold, a double triple expansion. Hallelujah.
Oh god, we praise you and thank you for continually touching his body and healing.
We thank you, lord, for deliverance, and thank you, lord, for Kathy and Madison. Thank you, lord, oh god, for Jerry. Oh Gold. We thank you, lord, for Cynthia, Diane, Jackie, and Jackie.
Thank you, lord, for Michelle. Thank you for doctor Thomas. Have your way. Oh, Gold. Take the enemies back today.
Oh, God. Make them put back what he's Gold from us. Thank you, Lord. In the mighty name of Messiah, Yeshua Hamashiach, Jesus Christ, our Lord, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
Amen. Alright, gang. Amen. Have a great day.
God bless you all.
Have a blessed day and a blessed week, Bishop.
Yes, sir.
