The end of this Middle East story is clear

Thank you so very much for joining me today, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm Lieutenant Commander Stephen Rogers, United States Navy, retired.

This program, Peace Through Strength America's Navy, is presented by the Association of the United States Navy.

We're a non-profit organization and we're dedicated to supporting US Naval and US Coast Guard power and operations worldwide,

as well as supporting all personnel who serve, as well as their family members.

We have become their voice, their voice for a strong United States military, let alone just our Navy and Coast Guard.

I mean, we're in there for the entire military, everybody counts, everybody counts when it comes to the AUSN.

But I just want you to know that the topics addressed on this program reflect only the perspective presented by the AUSN.

It's very important that you know that.

Now, we know that there is a lot going on with regard to Iran.

We know that. One day, we're listening to facts that may relate to a larger, longer, and wider war.

And the next day, we're hearing, well, the war may be shortened.

People have asked, well, why are all these conflicting or confusing reports coming out?

Well, they're not conflicting, they're not confusing.

I can tell you folks, they may appear to be that way, but sometimes the way reporters will report some news,

makes you confusing and conflicting.

But I want you to know, because I'm involved with a lot of people who are themselves involved with the conflict with Iran.

I want you to know that there is no confusion.

There are no conflicting strategies or reports, at least in my estimation, based on what I see in here, coming out of the White House, coming out of the Department of War, coming out of the AUSN government.

Our government is hands on. They know exactly what they're doing. They know exactly where we're headed.

I'm talking about the Department of War, the Department of the Navy, the Department of Defense.

In fact, every single department in this government knows exactly what we're doing, where we're headed, and how we're going to get there.

And that's why I share with you many, many times, when you hear a lot of reports coming out of the mouths of reporters and of the newscasters,

remember who they are and remember who we are, who they are. They're supposed to be news broadcasters.

Their interest is ratings. Their interest is sponsorship.

I'm not saying that the interest is not in the best interest of America.

I leave that decision or that opinion up to you, but in my view, and again, this is my perspective, my view, I believe that the media could do a lot better job in reporting the truth in reporting facts.

I've said that over and over again on national TV broadcasts, and I do not hesitate to say to you on this particular broadcasts.

But as I say, there's a lot going on with this conflict in Iran, as well as rising concerns regarding other nations, such as China and Russia.

Now, there's been some back stories regarding what Russia is up to, what China is up to.

We're hearing some reports coming out of the news media regarding a possible strategy now being developed by the Chinese Communist Party with regard to Taiwan.

I mean, that's been going on and on for years. Russia, we're hearing reports that Putin is kind of scratching his head thinking, maybe now it's his time to really create a major, major military strike on Ukraine.

That's going on and on and on. All speculation, folks, but saying that the United States of America, the United States government, the Navy, the Marines, the Air Force, all of us, we're all watching what's going on around the world.

And we'll take appropriate action if necessary. And then right now, we're all focused on Iran because it is necessary for our military to build up its forces in the region.

Now, you'll hear people say, well, what does this have to do with America? A lot to do with America. A lot to do with our national security.

And I've said over and over and over again that I've got to tell you this, this war was not started by the United States Navy, was not started by the United States government.

It was started by Iran 47 years ago. At some point in time, I'll get into the history of that.

But as I've mentioned on previous broadcast, not only for the benefit of our citizens across America, but for the benefit of our enemies, they need to know.

Because they're watching. They're listening. They need to know that the United States Navy is the strongest, most powerful war fighting machine on earth.

Whether they believe it or not is in material. That is fact. Absolute fact. And I've got to tell you, folks, anyone has to be totally out of touch with reality.

If they do not see or hear what the United States Navy has done to our archer enemy Iran over the past several weeks.

And they have to understand that if they continue this war, they're going to see more power get projected, more power used by the strongest Navy on the face of the earth.

As well as our Air Force, as well as our Marines, our Army, our Coast Guard.

Iran is trying to defy what cannot be defied. They're trying to obtain a victory over a situation that they cannot become victorious with.

But this is what we're dealing with. We're dealing with fanatics. They're crazy in my view. They're lunatics. They're out of their minds.

Yeah, people say to me, wow, that's pretty strong language. You're done right it is. You're done right it is.

Because a lot of the media out there does not want to hear that. They want to hear some milk toast description of our enemies.

There's nothing milk toast about the Iranian regime. They're bad people. They are evil people. And they've got to be dealt with.

Now, let's take a look at Iran's military capabilities as they stood prior to February 28th, 2026.

You know what February 28th was, folks? It's the day that Operation Epic Fury and Israel's Operation Rowing Lion commenced.

Back then, before this war started, Iran's Air Force operated 627 aircraft. That's it. That includes their fighters, transport planes, cargo planes, etc.

627 aircraft. The Iranian Navy had about 100 ships. Notice I said had about because from what I've understand and the reports that I've read, there is no Iranian Navy left.

Yeah, they may have a few small boats running around, but for the most part their war fighting ships are gone.

Bottom of the ocean, compliments of the United States Navy. And by the way, included what those 100 ships, 6 submarines and 1 aircraft carrier.

I believe they're down to 5 submarines right now, maybe more. But a submarine, Iranian submarine was sunk recently and is also at the bottom of the ocean.

Now, that's reality. The Iranian government apparently doesn't understand that. Don't want to see it. Don't want to accept it. But that is reality.

Now, the active military personnel in Iran, number about 607,000 active duty troops, their reserves total about 350,000 troops.

And there are reportedly 40,000 paramilitary forces in Iran possesses or did possess 19 air bases. So that's about all they had before Operation Epic Fury.

Could you imagine right now what's left and what we are hearing and seeing through a lot of the video footage that the Department of War is publicizing Iran has pretty much nothing left of a military.

Again, I want to get back to one big point that I want to make with regard to the information I give you on this broadcast.

The end of this story is clear. Yes, the end of this story is clear. The story that is now unfolding between the United States of America, Israel, many of our allies in Iran. It is very clear.

So this is what they had the Iranian government. And they also had allies that they not have many countries in the Middle East, if not getting directly involved in supporting them militarily.

At least standing on the sidelines as spectators rather than war fighters. Well, what on earth caused them the Iranian government to launch their missiles at their allies and to destroy some of their civilian targets and turn them again, their allies against them or at least some of those nations against them.

What on earth caused them to do that? I guess they thought that those countries would put enough pressure on the United States of America to get us to back off and to stop our military actions against them. It didn't work. It just did not work.

So that's where Iran is right now. Their military infrastructure. It also comprises of nuclear facilities. We've heard about that. Air defense systems, missile sites, ballistic missiles and hundreds, if not thousands of drones.

So that's the pretty much of the makeup right now of the Iranian military infrastructure. Now, there are recent reports that indicate that Iran's military has sustained losses including the destruction of 40 jets. That's including fighters, transports, cargo planes.

And most of the aircraft were destroyed on the ground as most of their airfields, while other fighter jets and other aircraft were shot down by American fighter jets over Iran.

The Iranian Navy has experienced an incredible amount of losses. With two vessels captured, 11 destroyed, 13 sunk including one submarine. Now those are many of the ships that were sunk in the beginning of this war. And now we've reached that magic number which is being reported 100.

So right at the opening of the war, that's what went on. They came out of the gate thinking that they could sink, damage, an American ship of the United States Navy. It didn't happen and it's not going to happen. And yet they refuse, absolutely refuse to understand that the end of this story is clear.

Now, the United States of America, we fully control the airspace over Iran and we're steadily increasing our dominance over the sea. Again, Iran doesn't seem to get the message. Haven't heard much about that through the mainstream media. Now, I guess you can tell already that I'm not a fan of the mainstream media. No, I'm not. And I don't believe many people are.

Why? Because we need to, we need to come together as a country. We need to come together in support of the United States war fighters.

You're children. My children, grandchildren are young people in this country who are putting that military uniform on and ready to fight for freedom, for liberty.

And yes, despite what some of the media may present to you, it has a lot to do with our national security. And I believe again, not enough good is being said by the media.

Or shall I say facts? Maybe they don't want to say good stuff. All right, but at least say facts. Not enough facts are being transmitted to the American people regarding what is really going on between the United States and Iran.

And what is really going on is that, yeah, we have already won this war militarily. There's nothing they can do. They have nothing left other than, again, to shoot some of their missiles and use some of their drones.

And maybe some will get through and they'll hit their targets. But for the most part, our men and women who are fighting this war have done a superb job.

And you know what, the loss of one American grieves me. One American, as all it takes, grieves me. And I know we've lost over a dozen right now and God, God, God bless what they did for this country. Let us never forget them.

But saying that they did it for you, for me, for our children, for the destiny of this country. This is why we should never, never forget those war fighters.

But the Iranian government, they just don't get it through their heads. They're on the run. You know, while our president, while our Navy commanders, military commanders, our armed forces organizations, they're not running. They're not hiding. They're out there on the battlefield.

The captains on the ships, the admirals out on the ships, the bases, the generals on the field. I mean, I could go on and on and on.

Our military leaders are hiding along with whoever is now in charge of Iran. We don't know who's in charge with Iran because most of them who are in charge are gone over, done with.

And yet, and yet they still insist on using their violent, unbelievable, ridiculous, I mean, outright stupid. I hate to use that word, but I'm going to use it.

Trying to get their people to believe. And more importantly, our people here in America to believe that they're winning this war.

Their propaganda is pretty strong. I've seen it. I've warned the American people about that. And I've got to tell you if they've got a lot of propaganda on the mainstream, through some of the mainstream media, but now primarily targeting the streams coming across the internet.

I've seen some incredible, incredible, what appears to be artificially created videos of US forces being beaten by Iranian forces, by US ships being sunk, etc.

All lies, all lies, all misinformation, all propaganda. And yet I notice something. I have not seen on the mainstream media one report.

I could be wrong. And if you've seen these reports, then I stand corrected. But I haven't seen one report about the propaganda that the Iranian government is spreading across the internet worldwide.

And you know what's sad, folks? What's really sad is that the Iranian people are only getting the propaganda that the Iranian government is allowing them to watch because they pretty much shut down everything.

So when we see something that appears to be negative about our military and our government with regard to that war, the Iranian people are watching that.

We have other broadcasters that we can go to, other news stations we can flip to, they don't.

So they're being fed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by their own media of propaganda. But then the Iranian government is allowing them to listen to somebody outlandish ridiculous news broadcasts that are coming out of the amounts of American news media outlets.

But as I said earlier, the end of this story is clear. And there are a lot of people who believe that it's not clear. I happen to believe that it's clear because I happen to be one of those people in this country who believe and I know most of your listening who believe that we are the greatest country in the world.

We have the greatest United States military. I'm sorry, we have the greatest military forces on the face of the earth.

And we're going to fight and we're going to fight to win. They don't have to believe it. They don't have to accept it. Maybe at some point in time, they'll change their tune.

There's been a lot of ups and downs. I know the president of the United States has been doing everything he could as well as the Secretary of War and others to get a rant to the table.

And I've got to tell you, there's been a lot of talk about the United States bombing these electrical power plants. They're being identified as civilian infrastructure.

With the media, the mainstream media doesn't emphasize is that the United States military, the president, the Department of War, everyone in charge here is doing everything they can to prevent that from happening. We don't want to do that.

I folks believe it or not because I say believe it or not because I know you're not getting that type of news. We do not want to do that. But if we have to do it, we will.

Iran is trying to force our hand. We'll see what happens. If we have to do it, we have to do it. I don't want to see that happen.

The president does not want to see that happen. If he wanted to see that happen, he would have done it already. Our war fighters don't want to do that.

And I know most Americans probably don't want to see that done because of the damage that it'll do to innocent people.

But this is war, folks. This is war. And I wish people would understand that perhaps maybe if more emphasis years ago was put on the fact that Iran is responsible for thousands of US war dead and wounded in Iraq through the building of IEDs.

I wish that more of the media would remind the American people and others that Iran responsible for the killing of 250 Marines and Lebanon years ago.

I wish the mainstream media would remind the American people that Iran is responsible for the torturing beating, raping of men, women, and children on October 7th in Israel.

I wish the mainstream media would remind the American people that Iran is the country that murdered, slaughtered from what is reported up to 30,000 citizens who protested the industry recently.

I wish the American media would remind the American people that very, very recently one of their athletes who spoke out against their nation, Iran, I believe it was a wrestler, was publicly hung along with two other kids, 19 years old.

That is what I believe the media should be emphasizing. More concerned about what the enemy is doing to us than to concern about what we are doing to them because what we are doing to them is just what they are doing to us and what they are doing to people around the world is not just.

That's why I emphasize on a lot of my reports that we need to listen carefully to what's being said and go to other sources.

This is why the association of the United States Navy is on the air right now on this network. America out loud news because America needs to get out loud and the AUSN is getting out loud and we are going to continue to get out loud.

This is not about politics to me. I don't care if you are Republican, Democrat, Independent, that's your business.

My business as executive director is to bring across some balance and get people to understand there is another side of the story, to every story regarding what our government does.

And if we make a mistake, and if we are doing something that is not right, well, I feel I have a responsibility to address that and I will, but a time of war is very, very important.

Now we don't let the, lead the enemies to believe that there is a crack in the wall of unity and that we understand that's right.

We the people of the United States of America understand that the end of this story is in fact clear and that is very, very important.

Not only for our enemies to understand, but maybe for all of us to understand.

Now think about this, I just shared with you what the Iranian navy was, what it was complemented with before the war and after the war.

Well, before the war and after the war, the United States of America has the largest navy on earth, right.

We have 474 ships compared to Iran's nearly formally 100 ships.

That's not 474 ships in the region, folks. I want to get that understood. 474 ships worldwide and more ships are coming out to sea being built.

The United States operates more submarines than Iran. We've got 71 compared to Iran's six now five, hopefully within the next few weeks down to zero.

The United States Navy has 11 aircraft carriers compared to Iran's one. The United States Navy operates 78 destroyers compared to Iran's zero.

Iran operates seven frigates compared to the United States one. The United States Navy is 4.9 times larger than Iran's in terms of total ships.

Meaning 474 verses close to 100, which don't exist anymore, so we still have 474 ships versus zero combatant ships in the Iranian Navy.

And yet, they still go out there and they tell us how they're going to sink our ships, how they're going to shoot our jets down, how they're going to kill American troops.

And yet, a lot of the mainstream media will take what the Iranian military and government is transmitting and repeat it in such a way that it kind of covers them from making us totally accuse them of aiding and embedding the enemy through propaganda.

Because they're saying, well, I'm going to report to you right now that the Iranian Navy says this and says that. Why even report it?

But they do it. They do it. That's not news to me. Oh no, that's not news. That kind of news is there to demoralize the American people.

Are they intentionally doing that? They would deny it. I don't want to believe it. I'm not going to go so far as to say that they intentionally do it.

They may, though, for political reasons, but I just want to believe that they're ill-advised folks. And by spreading that type of propaganda, they're not helping us. That's that. They are not helping us.

The United States, right now, we presently maintain several significant naval formations close to Iran.

Two aircraft carriers strike groups there. We got at least two amphibious ready groups there. Now collectively, these units represent more than 12 US Navy vessels operating in that region.

And I've got to tell you peace through strength in spite of what we see. All right. I believe that a lot of the nations around the world have made it. We've made it very clear to them that we will send our forces forward, project our naval forces around the world.

But we will not fire the first shot. Now, others are going to say, oh, wait a minute. We fired the first shot. Didn't we, on Iran? No. They fired the first shot. And I will remind you over and over and over again, 47 years ago.

So the fact of the matter is, is that, yep, peace through strength works a lot, works a lot. I mean, I mean, we've could have been engaged in so many different conflicts around the world had it not been for the presence of our aircraft carrier strike groups right off the coast of a lot of hostile nations.

A lot of these dictators decided it ain't worth it. We're not going to beat the American Navy. Why don't we get to the table? That's why we don't hear much about that. Keep an eye on Cuba. They're ready to negotiate. They realize, I mean, they're in trouble there. They have really in trouble.

The last thing on earth they want to see is a carrier strike group of the United States Navy off their coast. So that's where we're at today, folks.

Again, we salute all of our U.S. forces around the world, especially those who are in harm's way. We pray for you. We're here for you. And at the end of the story is clear. It's very clear.

I ran loses America wins. I'm reminded of the scripture in closing. And there are the sailors sailing the seven seas. They are guardians of the world. That's 107th Psalm, verse 23.

I'm Dr. Kelly Victory with the Wellness Company and I know this personally. I exercised a to healthy diet and had no symptoms when a routine mammogram resulted in a cancer diagnosis.

It revealed a hard truth. Even healthy people can get cancer and much of modern medicine is reactive, not preventative. So I began asking a different question. What can we do daily to support the body before something goes wrong?

That question led me to formulate shield. Shield is a two-part nutraceutical system designed to support immune balance, antioxidant defense and cellular health.

A chemical-free cocoa mix and soft gels containing medicinal mushrooms, turmeric, green tea extract, olive leaf, burberry and black seed oil, prevention is power.

Welcome back to our broadcast, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second half hour of a one hour broadcast on AmericaOut Loud.News.

And boy do we get out loud. We get out loud when it comes to a lot of domestic policies that we are seeing introduced to our citizens across the United States of America, the foreign policy issues that we are involved in.

We get out loud for everything possible because everything that is possible and sometimes impossible affects your life and my life and the destiny of a nation.

In addition to that, we talk about some good news and that's what you're hearing right now. Part 1 of this broadcast you'll hear about all the things going on across planet earth.

Part 2, which you're listening to now, are all the things that are going on not only on planet earth but also from the kingdom of heaven, from God's kingdom. That's right.

I bring a spiritual perspective to many of the issues that we are involved with and sometimes I'll just give you words of encouragement from the book known as the Bible.

The good news book I'd like to call it. I believe in the power of prayer. I'm not an evangelist. I'm not a priest, a minister. No, no, no, I'm just like you regular person working my tail off every day of my life, earning my way and have learned in life as I've gotten older.

That there is indeed something to that book, the Bible. There is a truth that man shies away from. The truth will set you free, says the Bible.

And the only place that I've learned in life where I'm going to get the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is from that word, the Bible, the Word of God.

Perhaps even known as the book of life. Seems like every time we turn around, we hear people talk about gloom and doom, we talk about death to our country, death to leaders, death here.

The clouds are creating storms over our heads. I mean, there's just too much of that going on.

So we take a break from that here at americaallow.nouth and we share with you some of the stories in the Bible, some of the good news that we could certainly apply to our lives today.

Now, I want to talk to you about a fellow that we've all heard of. I don't believe many of us know who he is, many of us know of him, but have we created a friendship with him.

And I'm talking about Jesus Christ. Years ago, I was handed a very, very small slip of paper and on it was something written by anonymous.

I've gotten a lot of these things over the years and some of the things that have been written by anonymous have been very profound and had a lot of impact on my life.

But it answers the question that I've been asked by many people, who's Christ? Who is he? Really, who is Jesus Christ in the Bible?

We hear he's a prophet, we hear he's a politician, we hear he's an activist, he's this, he's that. But who really is Jesus Christ?

Well, this slip of paper I was given with this anonymous message on it answers that question pretty, pretty well.

So here's what this person said, and I'll kind of maybe explain some of this as I move on here. More than 1900 years ago, a man was born contrary to the laws of nature.

Think about that, 1900 years ago. It's more like thousands of years ago. Boy, this person couldn't be that old, right?

But anyway, that's how it starts, so I'm not going to change it. More than 1900 years ago, a man was born contrary to the laws of nature.

The man lived in poverty and was reared in obscurity. He did not travel extensively, only once did he cross the boundary of the country in which he lived.

That was during his childhood when he was in exile in Egypt.

He possessed neither wealth nor influence. His relatives were inconspicuous and had neither training nor formal education.

In infancy, he startled the king. In childhood, he puzzled doctors and manhood. He ruled the course of nature. He walked upon the billows as if pavements and hushed to sea to sleep.

He healed the multitude without medicine and made no charge for his services. He never wrote a book, and yet all the libraries in the world could not hold the books that had been written about him.

He never wrote a song, and yet he has furnished the theme for more songs than all the song writers combined.

He never founded a college, but all the schools put together cannot boast of having as many students.

He never marshaled an army, nor drifted a soldier, nor fired a gun, and yet no leader had more volunteers who have under his orders made more rebels stack arms and surrender without a shot being fired.

He never practiced psychiatry, and yet he has healed more broken hearts than all the doctors far and near.

Once each week, the wheels of commerce ceased their turning, and multitudes went their way to worshiping assemblies, to pay homage, and respect to him.

The names of the proud statesmen of Greece and Rome have come and gone. The names of the pan scientists, philosophers, and theologians have come and gone, but the name of this man abounds more and more.

Through time, has spread more than 1900 years between the people of just generation, and the scene of his crucifixion, yet he lives.

Herod could not destroy him, and the grave could not hold him.

He stands forth upon the highest pinnacle of heavenly glory, proclaimed of God, acknowledged by angels, adored by saints and feared by devils as the living personal Christ, our Lord and Savior.

At this season, the incomparable Christ is still standing at many a heart store, seeking admission. His word says, behold, I stand at the door knock.

If any man will hear my voice and open the door, I will come into him, and will cup with him, and he with me.

And there is none other name on their heaven, given among men, whereby we must be saved.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest gift ever given to the world. He can be yours. Is he? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shall be saved.

I've got to tell you, folks, I just realized, all the times I've looked at this and kind of read it over and over again, I just realized that more than 1900 years ago,

and it's anonymous. So one question, when was this written? This is incredible. But anyway, I just read exactly the way it was.

Apparently, this has come down through the ages, and people are trying to get a message to you and to me that there is more to Jesus Christ than just us learning about him being an individual that did so much for so many and got crucified for it.

The incomparable Christ, who can compare their lives to him? Boy, when you read, I mean, when you read stuff like this, that he had no medical education, he wasn't a doctor, he wasn't a lawyer, he wasn't a soldier, and yet, and yet, all that he did in the healing of mankind.

And he is prepared to do that for you today, as he's done it for me. And I said, over and over and over again, that, yeah, you know what? I believe most people believe in God. They'll say, say, do you believe in God? They'll say, yes, I do.

But when you get a little deeper, when you dig a little deeper, and you ask a person, will tell me about God, they say, well, he's a person I could go to for help when I need help.

He condemns people who commit sin. This is what they'll tell you. And we just got to do good things in order to be on his good side.

Most of that is, eh, okay, but a lot of it is not true. And let me qualify what I just said. Even Satan knows God. Satan knows God as Jesus Christ.

Okay, so let's get that right out of the way. Satan knows God is Jesus Christ. He knows Jesus Christ. Satan, according to the word of God, challenged Christ a multitude of times to turn on his father in heaven and to turn towards him, meaning Satan as God didn't work out very well for the devil.

So we all know who God is, right? Jesus Christ, some who are not Christians, but don't believe Christ is God. They still believe he's a prophet. That's fine.

All right, people believe in what they want to believe in. But as Christians, we believe in Jesus as the Lord and Savior. We believe in Him as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

And as Christians, yes, we are tied to interwoven with our Jewish friends, with our Jewish brothers and sisters, because we do believe in the Judeo-Christian values that have been written in both the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Now, how all this is figured out and works out in the end, I don't know, but I do know this, that in the United States of America, we are a nation that has been grounded and founded despite what anybody else says on Judeo-Christian values.

Now, what about you? What is your life grounded on? What is your life really founded on? And I believe that all of our lives, every single person that was born from day one, had an opportunity to turn their lives over to Jesus Christ as their Savior.

No person, I believe, has not had that opportunity. No matter where they are, no matter where they live, no matter what education level, you could be a CEO or a multi-billion dollar company, or, sadly, you could be someone hopeless in the streets.

In the eyes of God, what you need to do is to come to Christ. You need to come to Jesus Christ as your Savior and repent of every sin that you've ever committed.

Now, one may ask, well, why does God allow this person to be homeless and this person to be a CEO? I don't have the answer to that question, but I do have the answer to where we are headed if we choose to be headed in the direction we would all want to be traveling on.

And that is to another city, a New Jerusalem, the city of heaven, the Kingdom of God.

Life here on Earth is temporary. Folks, let me tell you something. I'm now in my very early 70s.

I find it hard even to believe that I've gotten this far in life because most of my life, I would say, that I knew God, I prayed, but I didn't really know God.

All right, I didn't know Jesus as my Savior until 1977. And boy, did everything in my life turn around. It turned around for the better.

Did it close me to wake up one day and boy, I'll tell you, the sun was always shining. It was nothing but success, success, success.

Well, I must tell you this. The sun was not always shining. I ran through some very difficult times, very difficult challenges.

I would think at times, am I going to overcome this and overcome that? Am I headed to hell? I mean, what's going on here?

But then I met a very good Christian police officer in a police car, talked to me about Jesus Christ as not just being my God and my King, but my best friend.

And I did exactly what this officer said, I should do. If I wanted to change my life and wanted to go to heaven to be transitioned from earth to heaven upon my departing of this planet, I did what he said that I should do.

He didn't shove it down my throat in a very calm way. He said, the Bible, the book of life, except Jesus Christ as your Savior.

And I did. I repented of my sins, just me and God. I was actually in a police car alone after this officer talked to me about Christ.

I talked to God like I talked to you. I said, well, I said, Jesus, I don't know you very well, but I understand you know me a lot.

And so I've made a mess of things in my life at times, and I just pray and ask you to forgive me of those sins.

And yeah, I believe that you did this thing of going to the cross and shedding your blood for my sins. I don't really understand it all, but I'll tell you what, in faith, I'll believe it.

I'll believe it because I was told about you. I did read some things about you. And as I read a biography about somebody and believe that story.

Well, I've read how about this biography or this history book called the Bible about you. I believe it. I believe it.

Now, I'm back in my mind. I'm whispering, I believe this is more than I see it. But you know what? He had to hear that, right?

Whether I said it to myself or to him, he had to hear it. And then he showed me that he showed me his power.

Not overnight, no earthshaking, no bolt of lightning coming down from the sky. But over a period of time, if to have in that conversation with God, accepting Christ into my life, I'll tell you what, the transition began slowly but surely.

I began to see things differently. I used to go out with a lot of my friends and we partied and we did this and we did that. And somehow, some way, I became disinterested in living life in a fast lane.

There used to be things that I did were not right and proper. And I began to feel bad about those things. That's not me, folks, in the past. I just go live my life and have a great time.

You know what? Who cared about this and that? But I began to care about certain things like fellow men. I began to care about other people. And then I got the calling.

As you would get a calling, the calling was simply, do it's right. Do it's right. Be obedient to the word of God.

Not to be perfect, not to get to a place where you're going to walk around saying, well, if I don't do this or do that, God's going to hammer me over the head with a club. He don't work that way.

He does not take his arms and wrap them around your neck to strangle you after you did something wrong and teach a lesson. He opens his arms. He says, hey, hey you, come here. Just come over here.

Oh, but Lord, I'm not worthy. I'm not this. I'm not that. And Jesus actually will say to you to your heart, that's okay. Come. Come and I will give you rest.

And that's the message for you today. I don't care if you're in the United States military. If you're a police officer, if you're a teacher, a lawyer, a doctor, not working, a single mom, a single dad, a young person going to school listening.

I don't care who you are and where you're from. And neither this Christ, he doesn't care about all those positions in life. He cares about where your soul is, where your spirit is.

Why? Because he loves you. That's right. There are people listening right now who feel unwanted, unloved. Well, you're not alone. There are millions of people who feel that way. And they can't find the way out because they're looking in the wrong places.

Listen, go to a friend. Yeah, you don't talk to them. If you could trust them, nothing wrong with that.

There are times you may have to, many people have had to go on to therapy. They got so depressed. Do that. That is important.

But I would say in addition to all these other things that you are doing or have done, try God. Try Jesus Christ.

Years ago, I used to see signs all over the country. Try God, try God, try God. Billboard, try God. A bumper sticker, try God.

And you know, I used to look at them and say, eh, what do you mean try God? But then when I tried God and my life was catapulted, I mean, instead of descending, ascending, I thought I should have done that a long time ago.

I should have done that a long time ago. Now look, I could quote scripture after scripture to you about all kinds of things related to Jesus Christ and what he can do for you, what he will do for you.

And talk to you about blessings, talk to you about curses. I'm not going to do that. I'm just going to be as simple as I could in having this conversation with you.

Because I lived it. I tried it. And so have millions of other people lived it and tried it. Now, we're living in tough times right now, right?

Got a war going on. War war is going on. Kind of means not good. People meaning you and me are struggling with regard to getting our bills paid by friends who may lose their homes for one case, kind of diving a little bit, maybe even more than a little bit.

It looks bad. It looks bleak according to man. Now, I'm going to turn it around for you. There is a scripture I'll share with you that says,

all things work together for those who love the Lord that I got according to his will. So all these things that are going on can and will work together for the good with a globally, nationally or personally in your life.

But here's the key to this. The key is you accepting Jesus Christ as your personal friend and savior.

You know, people will read the Bible and say, oh, great, this is for me. You know, I'll just pray about this. And I'll receive this. I'll receive that.

Well, the first thing you need to receive is Christ into your life. And as I said to you, just a few minutes ago, that in order for that to happen, you got to go to the cross. You got to go to him.

No, you don't have to walk into a church. You don't have to go to a special altar. You could do it. I don't care if you're in a closet.

Do it. Pray to him. Ask him. Now, when I say pray, you're saying, well, how do I pray? You know how I pray? I do exactly what I'm doing with you right now.

I have a conversation with him. And boy, I have it every day. Show me that way. Teach me the path of Lord every single day.

Do I mess up? Oh, you bet I do. You bet I do. But before my messing things up gets too far, he knows how to get the message to me through the Holy Spirit of God.

Every single one of us, St. and sinner, yep, we all have the Holy Spirit and dwelling in us. I've always said that, you know, we have a heart, we have a soul, we have a spirit.

Man has seen the heart. Man believes there's a soul, not much is said about the spirit, but the spirit is that of the Holy Spirit of God.

He ever living God. And I've said, from lack of illustration, we need to activate it. You got to activate it. You know how you activate that spirit? Come on to me, all ye who are having a laden. And I will give you rest.

That's Christ. Come on to him. Go to him. Talk to him. Lay your life out before him. Be bold. I talked to him. I get pretty tough with him. Oh, yeah.

How dare I do that, some people say. The Bible says, go boldly before the king of kings. Go boldly before Christ. You know, he doesn't mind if you get mad at him. He'd been through that every moment he was on earth.

He had people calling him names, spitting on him and torturing him and then eventually killing him, crucifying him. He forgave every single one of them. That's right. He did that.

That's a hard thing for me to do to forgive people that wronged others. Not me. I look at people have wronged me. I forgive them. I really do. I really do.

But when I see people abusing other people, abusing animals and doing horrible things, I find it hard to forgive them. And I tell the Lord, forgive me for not forgiving them because I know what your word says, but it's just hard for me to do.

And that's okay. He understands. Believe me. He understands. He's not going to hold that against us. But if we don't go to him for forgiveness, that is a problem. That should not be hard to do. Nobody has to know your relationship with Christ in regard to the sins that you've committed and the sins you've repented. Nobody has to know that. That's between you and God.

But they will see the difference in you and you will see the difference in you. If you go to him, ask him. Seek him. Knock. Ask.

And it shall be given to you. Seek. Seek him. And you shall find. Knock. And the door shall be opened. Kiss who's behind that door. It's him.

So he's ready, willing, and able. Hey, you know what, folks? I had not planned to even talk about this. I wanted to talk about something else with regard to the Bible. But sometimes, you know, many of us who know what's pretty much going on in this world and trying to figure things out and are close to Christ and are not experts, not theologians, not priests, ministers, etc.

They're regular people that just are making it through life. Sometimes he puts things on our heart. And as I approach the microphone, I was ready to share with you about something else. I see this thing, the incompatible, comparable Christ.

I said, why don't I share this? And now I'm talking about him. I had planned just to read that. And then the moment came, nope, tell them about Christ. Tell that person out there in their car right now, or in their office, or at home, or wherever they are, or somehow some way accidentally stumbled into this broadcast. Tell them that this message about Jesus Christ is for them.

The Bible says that he has not come to harm you. He has come to prosper you. And I'm not talking about money. I'm not talking about wealth, although he doesn't want to see anybody poor, all right.

But I'm talking about prospering you and prospering me spiritually, because there is the key to everything else. No him first. Everything else comes behind that.

Matthew, I think it's chapter 7 of the book of Matthew, talks about building a house. Yeah, build a house. Where are you going to build your house? Meaning where are you going to build your life? Are you going to build your life on the sand? That scripture talks about the wind, the rain, the storms are going to come. And you know what's going to happen? You built your house on a foundation of sand.

It's just going to blow that house right down. You're not going to be able to stand on the sand. And you know, we all have sand. You know what your sand is? You got money? There's your sand. A lot of people depend on money as the foundation of their lives. I got enough money. I'll make it. No, it don't work that way. Money will blow away. Money will just simply go away at some point in time. Not going to be able to save you. No way. Some people will say, well, I've got gold. I've got this. I've got that.

I've got stocks. Temporary folks can't take that to the grave with you. It's going to be left behind. Maybe for somebody else to depend on and their lives will get blown away. When I mean their lives will get blown away, I'm talking about their tunnel life.

Nothing wrong with having those things. They are not your God of salvation. Or you can build your life on a rock. You know what that rock is? The rock is Jesus Christ. He is known as the solid rock.

Unmovable, unshakable, build your life on the rock. Jesus Christ. So you start reading the book of Proverbs in the Bible. You'll get great wisdom.

Start reading the book of Psalms. You will be given peace through the storms. But most of all, you look, you look in your Bible.

And I'm going to give you, I don't give these scriptures out much. And I'm not going to now because I want you to really do it and look.

You look up the word Jesus Christ. Look up the word salvation. And then you go where the finger of God points you. And your life, in my view, in my opinion, will change like you've never believed it could.

Alright, there you go. The incomparable Christ. There's the guy folks. There he is our best friend. Never founded a college, never marshal an army. Never went to law school or medical school. A person like you and me who had a mission.

You know what that mission was? To save you and to save me. So that's where we're at folks. So God bless you. God bless America. Until next time. Wow, tell you. Until next time, enjoy life and seek and knock. God bless you.
