Greg, Pat and Steve share an encouraging message of how to be hopeful in increasing days of hardship and difficulty. Imagine a plant sees a tiller coming towards it. What is seen as painful is actually meant to prepare the plant and help it to grow. In John 15:5, Jesus shares, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” Often times, when we realize what we had been putting our hope in fails us, we get distressed and worrisome. On the contrary, it is actually a good thing. It is at this moment we realize we are putting our hope and trust in something, or someone other than God. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” -Romans 15:13. Be encouraged as you learn a biblical perspective of hardships, how to have your trust and hope in God, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Phil Robertson, deception, rumors of war, ISIS, circumstances, and hope.

Greg, Pat, and Steve have a biblical conversation about the truths of Martial Law and its applications. The Constitution reveals a deeper reality of Martial Law and the first President of the United States, George Washington, was actually the first to institute it. In recent history, Hurricane Katrina brought much unrest and chaos to a region that caused military forces to institute a curfew. Now, we are not advocating the application of Martial Law but it is inevitable. If we are prepared for it, we can get through it, and come out of it better than where we presently are. Before Martial Law is carried out, there can be robberies, shootings and even death. Taking this into consideration without it, many wouldn’t have tomorrow.

The History Channel put together a documentary, “After Armageddon” that brings to light many true events that can take place after a collapse. Whether it’s financial, or economic, it can happen as a result of different reasons. When there is no food, when there are no banks, people can come together who do not have food in order to look for food. When someone is found to have what they’re looking for, this can be seen as a gang, from the outside. Even if it’s a ‘noble’ gang, it’s still a gang with the intentions to take from one for the sake of another. Don’t be surprised about the reality of Martial Law and don’t have an adversarial viewpoint of the authorities who are just doing their job to instill peace. In these critical moments, it is imperative to be prepared and not to be naïve. Find out the realities of Martial Law, how it applies to society, how you can prepare, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Rick Joyner, After Armageddon, Ferguson, Hurricane Katrina, Robin, Wisdom, Cloward & Piven, and wisdom.

Greg, Pat and Steve talk about the importance of being on the right side, God’s side, and most importantly, staying on the right side. Many can understand the visuals of football and the importance of specific jerseys for the individual teams. At any time, the quarterback, the one in control, needs to know who he can throw the ball to; he needs to know whose are his. “Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”- 2 Timothy 2:19. It is important that we live our lives in the awareness of God, for the acceptance of God, and not simply the acceptance of others. When we choose to live in such a way to be a friend of God, and not a friend of the world, there are those who are friends with the world who will not want to be friends with us anymore. Just simply proclaiming to be on God’s team and not leaving the team of the world does not work. If we want to turn to God, we must turn away from wickedness. Find out how you know the differences of these two realities, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: quarterbacks, fruit, good trees, bad trees, Nazareth, and repentance.

Greg, Pat and Steve talk about a perspective of love that has been quite neglected in today’s society. Currently, there a lot of things being done for God; people are prophesying, they are doing endless works, but apart from love, it is the sounds of clanging gong. 1 Corinthians 13 gives an insightful perspective of how God sees how love should be and how we should display it to others. “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”- 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

There are some that have literally kept a record of everything their spouse had done wrong, written down in a book. Love does not bring up the list of others’ wrong when someone brings up our wrongs. Love has no list of wrongs. God is love. This is a powerful statement. When we choose to love others amidst such difficulty and hardships, not only are we loving them, but we are “God”ing them. It is only through God that we are truly able to love others. Today is the day that we can make the decision to choose to love God until He returns, or until the day He calls us home, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: love, hope, accounts, debt, and forgiveness.

John, Pat and Steve have an insightful conversation as they share about a recent video from Francis Chan and his demonstration of a Christian living a safe life. Sometimes, trying to balance everything that comes upon us when we are walking with the Lord, it can cause us to look down and simply hold on for safety only to find ourselves at the end of the balance beam standing before the Judge. We were not meant to be safe or be boring. You don’t have to go bungee jumping or sky diving if you want an adventure, just follow Jesus! There are dangers of living a safe life with a “form of godliness”. We were called to be sons and daughters of God. We can wake up each and every day with the expectation of miracles and awesome testimonies of the Good News of Jesus Christ. There are no crowns for safety. Enjoy this encouraging and insightful moment as you see the difference of living for safety and living for adventure in Christ, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Francis Chan, balance beam, fear, boldness, evangelism, safety, The Judgment Seat of Christ, the Joy of the Lord, and life.

Don’t Give in to R.AG.E. - Raw Anger Going Everywhere- Don’t Do the Wrong thing; Do the God thing- Walk in LOVE

Greg, Pat, and John have an insightful conversation about the realities and processes that cause anger. In the light of the constant news increasing and increasing each day, there tends to be 3 different responses from people regarding what is happening in the world: 1) some are not even paying attention. “I don’t watch T.V. at all!” 2) Others are watching what is happening and then just repeating it in conversation like its data. This happened, and then that, then this. Question is, now what do you do about it? 3) While others are getting so overcome, they simply shutdown. The increasing weight and pressure of continual events is causing many to just be overwhelmed. As talked about on VFNtv and the Daily VFNRadio Program, this is actually the tactics taught in Saul Alinsky’s book, Rules for Radicals. Reportedly, President Obama taught these tactics before he was in the Presidency, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wrote her college thesis paper on its tactics.

All of these events can cause one to respond in anger. When we respond in anger, we are held captive by those that angered us. If there are those that can provoke us by a simple word, whether it be a boss, a relative, a friend, or a spouse, that signifies there is something within us that needs to be dealt with and removed through the blood of Jesus. Satan wants us to respond to the anger in anger. Human anger does not produce what God desires. Anger is a response to something that has already happened that hurt us. When we have an expectation that doesn’t get met, we get hurt. Sometimes we don’t say we’re hurt but others do know that we’re angry. There is a process that takes place, that if not dealt with; the hurt can result in un-forgiveness.

There is so much tragedy that is happening on a daily basis throughout the world. It is important not to respond in anger, with hard hearts and stiff necks. As the church, we have to prepare our spirits not to respond in anger. We must also not medicate ourselves away from the reality of what is taking place. Jesus speaks specifically regarding those that love, those that are peaceful, and the differences between those who are patient and those who are hot headed. It is only through the grace of God and the love of God that we are able to love others. Find out the details of the processes and roots of anger, how to love, the power of love, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Saul Alinksy, Marshall Gance,

Recorded for Friday, Thyatira, Lucifer, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Anderson Cooper, The Green Mile, roots, and fruit.

We must not Ignore God, Satan is Real: If you Turn Your Back on God You will be TAKEN; but you won’t like who takes you- Remembering 9/11

Greg, Pat, and John discuss the significance of the upcoming 13th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy. Thirteen years ago, America was a different America than today. Twelve individuals brought such heartbreak and loss in mere moments. Today, it is the same evil threatening the peace of America. This time, there are reportedly, over 15,000 individuals within America on student visas and authorities cannot find them. Twelve passenger planes are missing, the American embassy in Tripoli has been taken over, and there are reports that ISIS is in America. All of this is taking place within the 18 month period of the 4 blood moons; a period that starts with tears and ends with deliverance. We must not get focused on the end deliverance. The time of tears must first be endured. The reality of the situation is that there are lives that will not experience the deliverance because of not surviving through the tears.

As the church, we cannot think we can rebel against the ways of God, refusing to listen to the teachings and wisdom of God, and not think that there are consequences to these actions. Repeated rebellion only leads us to be given over to our own choices and demands. There comes a time when God says you’re going to be taken. God does not want to write you off. He wants to write you in the Lamb’s Book of Life. We can look into the word of God, the Bible, and see what God’s perspective is and how we are to respond. When the church cries out, GOD! I REPENT! FORGIVE ME!! I WAS WRONG!! God will respond. It does not turn out good for those who put their hands on Israel. It does not turn out good for those who put their hands on the Church. Listen and watch this powerful segment as you see and understand the storm that is being fashioned by God, the purpose of it, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Taken the Movie, ISIS, 9/11, Tripoli, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Bachmann, Benghazi, fatherless, national debt, Saul Alinsky, Damascus, and Josiah.
