The arrival of the global community introduces the season of Jesus’ return. As Jesus gives us these signs of His Second Coming in Matthew 24, He then teaches us how we should live in this season. He begins with the parable of the fig tree in which He emphasizes that His followers should know when they have entered into the time of His return. It is obvious and clear He expects us to be aware the season has begun.

The next parable instructs us that we should be alert and watchful, looking for Him to come again and not be like those who were unaware as in the days of Noah. The third parable teaches us the difference between the wise and faithful servant as opposed to the evil servant in the Master’s house.

The fourth parable contrasts the wise virgins and the foolish virgins in who will be welcomed into His wedding feast from those who will be shut out. The last parable inspires us as to how we are to use our God-given resources to prepare the way for our coming deliverer.

In the next articles we examine more closely what these parables mean for us.

Jesus then completes His prophetic teachings with His judgment of the nations. He divides them into the sheep and goat nations. Those who have obeyed His command to minister to the least of these contrast against the nations who have failed to help those in need. This judgment is also tied to whether the nation has blessed or cursed Israel.

All of these prophetic words we will glean in depth as to how we should live in this season of Jesus’ return to prepare the way for our King to come. As the old hymn says,

O the King is coming
The King is coming
I just heard the trumpets sounding
And now His face I see
O the King is coming
The King is coming
Praise God, He’s coming for me

When I was in Zambia several years ago, we were holding crusades across the northwest part of the nation as well as planting churches. We left Chief Kanyama and his kingdom full of fire and faith as we witnessed numerous miracles and prophecies come forth from heaven. We traveled to our last town called Kabompo, a beautiful village on the magnificent Kabompo River full of crocodiles and hippos.

I was exhausted from several weeks of preaching and ministering with our team. I lost my voice, but every time I went to preach it came back to life. God continued to do miracles and save souls and baptize many in the Holy Spirit.

Since there was no power in the newly constructed but half-finished church, we held our final service in the daylight of the late afternoon. Before the service I was extremely blessed to see one of the elderly ladies sweeping the church.

When we first arrived and were greeted by the people, I remembered that she had been hunched over and in great pain. Yet now she looked like a teenager full of joy and spry as a young woman.

I was amazed at her sparkling countenance, so I asked her what happened? With a broad smile as wide as the Kabompo River, she said Jesus healed me, and she began to dance. What joy filled our service that day!

Many came forward to repent of the double lives they were living to give their full surrender to live for Jesus. Many others were healed and even more baptized in the Holy Spirit.

When it ended, I was so tired I had no more to give. Then the leader stood up and said the presence and power of God had been so evident they needed to hold one more service that evening in the dark.

He looked at me for affirmation. My flesh said no, but the Spirit said yes. We would hold one more service before we would head home.

That night God continued to move to transform lives for Jesus. His light drove away the darkness. By the end of the ministry time we saw so many more miracles of life come forth from the hand of God I knew it was well worth holding another time of worship. Now I could go to our little room to rest for the night.

I was so spent all I wanted to do was sleep. As soon as my head hit the pillow within the mosquito netting I was out.

Before sunrise, I was still asleep, when suddenly someone started ringing the village bell that woke me up. It had not rung all week. Now someone was ringing it, and he would not stop, as though it was his job to awaken the entire village.

I pleaded with God to make him stop, but he kept on ringing and ringing. I cried out, “Please cease ringing the bell,” but he went about his task as though his life depended on it.

I just wanted to go back to sleep. Then the Spirit spoke clearly to me that He wanted me to hear this bell and be awakened. For I was just like His church wanting to stay comfortably asleep while His Son prepared to return. He commanded me to ring the bell to awaken His people and to awaken the nations, sharing with them that Jesus was coming.

From that time forward I have shared that message across the globe to hungry men and women who stood on pews and shouted, “I will ring the bell! I will ring the bell! Wake up; Jesus is coming!”

Will you join us to ring the bell, announcing the King is coming?

Author’s Note: The Presence of God lives in us. The Word tells us the Holy Spirit comes into our lives the moment we are born again. We also know that the Father and Son abide in us as they have made Their home in us. This life we have in Jesus is a glorious one. We are being changed from one degree of glory to another to be like Jesus. We hunger for less of us and more of God to fill us completely. There are also moments when God’s presence fills the atmosphere where we worship as our Lord did when Solomon dedicated the temple or when Isaiah saw Jesus, the Lord of Hosts, in the temple, or when the Holy Spirit was poured out in Cornelius’ house in the book of Acts. When God acts in His glory, lives are transformed to live for His purposes and plans to redeem the world.

We have set our hearts on God to come in His glory at our “Hosting His Presence” event on Sept. 9-12. We do not want only an encounter with God but for Him to remain, so it is not just a visitation but a habitation that draws us daily to Himself. This glory moment will inspire us with dreams and visions to go into the world as Jesus sent His apostles and disciples to the nations of the earth. Begin praying now for this Holy Spirit gathering, that Jesus will be exalted, and we will see a nation transformed for Jesus.

In what may be a first for Colorado and the nation, students attending a youth conference were baptized at the state Capitol in Denver, where pastors and ministry leaders placed a corrugated metal trough just below the office window of Gov. Jared Polis.

Just as teens and adults stepped into the water on two consecutive afternoons, the sky over Denver poured torrential rain that soaked candidates enough to qualify as baptism. But mere sprinkling of new believers or people returning to the Lord in Denver was only the beginning; they were then fully immersed in water and raised to new life—to the sounds and sights of cheers and cameras.

People making these commitments were dunked during the three-day youth conference, which included 60 hours of continual prayer and worship as well as equipping students for ministry outreach by charismatic leaders Lou Engle, Gary Black and Chad Dedmon.

Those who received ministry from the students followed them to the Capitol for worship and baptism, and still others were drawn by the sounds and sights of music and dance declaring, “Jesus is the standard.”

Depression, unforgiveness, addiction, abuse, pornography, comparison, anxiety, gender neutrality and a sexual agenda directed at youth are not standards worthy of their generation, said Shannon Clark.

The ministry Clark leads, The Standard, hosted the conference with assistance from Youth With A Mission (YWAM), pastors and churches from Denver to Colorado Springs, in praying for and ministering to students hungry for hope and direction.

The Standard’s prophetic name and mission mirrors the words of Isaiah 59:19, which reads: “When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.”

Broken by suicide and mass shootings across the nation, Clark told the Lord she would begin in Colorado and then raise The Standard wherever he leads. She believes the Lord spoke to her in a prophetic dream, saying, “The Standard is for the nation.”

Declaring Jesus is the standard against a spirit of suicide targeting youth, Clark opened the conference by asking students: “How many of you know somebody who has attempted suicide, or who has committed suicide?”

A former youth pastor and graduate of the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, California, Clark told students they were called to be like the biblical King Josiah, who turned his nation from idols.

She then asked students to raise their hands if they wanted to received Jesus as Savior and Lord. A high schooler named Haven was the first to respond and, the next day, he told his peers Jesus had delivered him from anxiety.

“Lord, show them what you want; what’s important,” said Haven, who was baptized in rain and the water trough that afternoon.

A girl named Libby said she had suffered from severe depression since the fourth grade. “But that’s not my testimony,” she told her peers from the stage. “This is: I’ve had difficulty with someone—a guy—because of painful memories. I’m on a new path toward forgiving, seeing him every day.”

Another girl with a torn meniscus and ACL injury received prayer for healing of those and other conditions. She testified of improvement after healing hands were placed on her, accompanied by prayer.

Clark declared over students, “You’re called to be like the biblical King Josiah, who was anointed to rule at 8 years old. Talk about a major pressure role. Me, being a queen as a 31-year-old, let alone an 8-year-old, isn’t right.”

At 18, Josiah realizes his nation needs to knock down idols that the people have exalted in their hearts above the one true God.

“I’m calling the Josiahs out in this moment,” Clark said.

“You guys are called to make wrong things right in our world, to be the light in your school, in your sphere of influence, tearing down the things like a spirit of suicide that have exalted themselves, like mass shootings, like all of these things that have exalted themselves above God.

“You guys will go: ‘Nope. Not in my high school anymore. Not in my middle school anymore. Not in my college anymore.’ This is who you are,” Clark said.

This Josiah generation, Clark said, is called to find the word of the Lord for this season and declare it in their spheres of influence. “Kingdom righteousness looks like the lost become saved, the hopeless come into family, and the broken are made whole.

“That’s what kingdom justice looks like, and I believe we are dispersing the kingdom of darkness with the kingdom of God,” Clark said. “The types of things God is bringing are, honestly, judgment on the demonic, but it’s going to look like the lost coming home.”

One of those prodigals—a woman named Rachel—was drawn to the worship and crowd gathered at the Capitol. Tossing her old life of abuse, drugs and alcohol away after receiving one-on-one ministry from a leader, Rachel decided to get baptized. Later, she was invited to the youth conference where, from the stage, Rachel spoke to teenagers about her newfound freedom.

“Rachel is the one we’ve been praying for, really for people like Rachel to wander in and have an encounter with God,” Clark said. “She had a turning-point moment on a significant scale.”

Missionary, pastor and author Gary Black, who lost a son to suicide in 2013, told students he held on to hope in the process of grieving the agonizing end to his marriage and his son’s life. He told students to look up.

“There’s a whole new thing God’s doing on the planet (using) COVID and stuff. I’m going to show you right now hope is coming.

“We win this thing. Do you know what Jesus said of the end of the age? He said the harvest is the end of the age,” said Black, who with Engle led youth movements Rock the Nations, Prayer Storm and later The Call.

“I know you’re going to hear a lot about this,” Black said. “I love revival, but I’m not looking for it.

“Guess what?” Black asked students. “You are revival. You are the human embodiment of Jesus Christ. You are God with skin on the planet.”

Clark said harvest is here.

“It’s harvest, and it’s out there. We are in harvest. We are fully in harvest. The wheatfields are ready and ripe and so, for me, there’s something about getting your hands dirty, the nitty, gritty of that,” she said.

Engle encouraged students to declare truth over their lives for healing from long-lasting depression and anxiety. Inviting them on a pilgrimage with God based on Psalm 139, Engle exhorted students to speak blessings and the Word of God over themselves, and to prophesy as they lay hands on their heads and hearts for 30 days. {eoa}

The God of heaven burns with an unquenchable fiery passion to see His children step into their prophetic destiny through His divine work to govern, guard and guide their lives. Jesus Christ, Alpha and Omega, who knows all things from beginning to end, has taken me on a powerful transformational prophetic journey toward the convergence of revival fire and governmental authority since 2016.

Since this journey began, I’ve witnessed Holy Spirit’s divine supernatural leadership, which has placed me on a spiritual launchpad. In revealing my prophetic destiny, He has also placed me in the middle of the fight for religious freedom and on the front lines in the spiritual battle for God’s purposes in the earth.

I’ll never forget the start of this journey. It was February 2016, and my wife and I had just arrived in Daphne, Alabama, to attend a conference at the Church of His Presence. The moment we checked into the hotel, a miraculous encounter took place as the heavens opened. I stepped into the elevator to head to our room when a sudden supernatural aroma from heaven overwhelmed me. The only way I can describe it is that my heart knew the fragrance of the Lord Jesus Christ had come upon me. I knew God intended this special gift for me because my wife, always spiritually sensitive, did not experience it.

“Maybe it’s just the air freshener in the elevator,” the enemy whispered. But when I stepped onto our floor, the scent remained. Heaven’s aroma would not leave. I went to the room, and it grew stronger. We prepared for the service that night, and the aroma increased even more. We left for service and arrived in the church parking lot, and it only grew stronger and stronger.

We had a powerful time at the conference, but what most challenged and delighted me was that for three days, the fragrance of Jesus enveloped me. I knew then that God was doing something supernatural, something different than any of our previous encounters. From that moment, He placed my life and ministry on a Spirit-accelerated track.

Divine Encounter

As we began our journey home after the conference to our home in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, the presence of God overwhelmed me. Suddenly, I had a supernatural clarity that gave me insight into where He would take me in the next season of my life. His specific strategies downloaded from heaven to earth and into my heart. I heard these words, which struck my spirit like an arrow: “Son, you must go to Azusa Street and Washington, D.C, before the end of 2016.”

Why would I go to those places? I wondered. And what would I do when I got there? But as soon as I said yes to God—even without understanding what He meant—He said, “Son, I am sending a revival to New Mexico marked by a united people who are awakened by the past, empowered by the present and mobilized by the future.”

This word would set me on a course to encounter God in a way that would forever change my life.

I traveled to Azusa Street in Los Angeles, California; New York City; and Washington, D.C. Every stop and every location became pivotal and prophetic in nature, with the Lord drawing me from city to city. I carried my “Appeal to Heaven” flag and stirred up a spirit of faith to believe God for a shift in our nation. In each city, I felt a heavenly release, but I received something else as well. I believe God used this powerful time to prepare me for the next season and the unforeseen crucible of the COVID-19 pandemic.

During my time in our nation’s capital, Holy Spirit showed me that if we desire sustainable revival and transformational awakening, there must be a convergence of revival fire and governmental authority. At that moment, my mind immediately went back to when Jesus entered the region of Caesarea Philippi and delegated keys to the kingdom of God—keys that would bind and loose.

The Gospel of Matthew records the Savior’s words: “On this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Matt. 16:18b-19).

The Word of God makes it clear that as Peter spoke forth the revelation of Jesus’ true identity, our Lord promised to build His church. The Greek word for church is ekklesia, which reveals God’s ruling governmental authority in the earth.

God desires to manifest His ruling governmental authority in the earth through the body of Christ. Now is the time to legislate in the heavens as never before, and we must believe God to defy the natural laws of this earth with the supernatural laws of heaven.

We have entered an hour in America where we see many sins recognized as legal in the earth (and thus acceptable by society), but heaven does not view them this way. In heaven’s view, sin remains sin, and regardless of what society says, Christians need to flee it and fight against entities that seek to support it. In this moment, God desires to release governmental authority from heaven that burns with revival fire.

Spiritual Battlefield

I did not know that my 2016 encounters of saying yes to the process of the convergence of revival fire and governmental authority would be tested in 2020. The widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic moved state governments to declare businesses “essential” or “nonessential” and order nonessential businesses shut down to stop the spread of the virus.

I would soon have firsthand experience with this. Growing concerns arose across the nation about whether government officials and law enforcement would uphold the oath they took to defend the U.S. Constitution, which clearly states:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

As pandemic-induced panic heightened and I saw governmental authority set its sights on violating the constitutional rights of the church, I knew we must lean into the government of God and revival fire. Holy Spirit spoke these words to me: “Son, this is not only ‘America’s storm,’ but will also be America’s ‘great divide.’ Keep My lighthouse open.”

On Easter Eve at 12 noon, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced that places of worship were no longer exempt from the state’s order and must close. She sent an emergency alert across every phone with this message: “COVID-19 update: gatherings not safe, even at church. Stay home.”

I remember looking at my phone, knowing the spiritual warfare against the church had just escalated. In my spirit, I knew God would not permit me to shutter our church, which we had never closed since the pandemic began.

Later that day, Grisham revised her health order to state that “mass gatherings” meant any public or private gathering that brought together five or more individuals in a single room or connected space was prohibited. The order went on to say, “churches, synagogues, mosques and all other houses of worship shall adhere to these restrictions.”

Our church chose to obey God over man and exercise our God-given, inalienable constitutional right to assemble freely. We were met with great resistance—but also victory. I wielded the double-edged blade of God’s Word on the spiritual battlefield, balancing Romans 13:1 (NIV), “submit … to the governing authorities,” and Acts 5:29 (ESV), “Obey God rather than men.”

Not long after our decision to remain open, I received a call from the New Mexico State Police on our church phone. The message went as follows:

“This is in reference to New Hope Revival Church; we have a couple of complaints stating that the church is still open and running during church hours. Just to let you guys know that you guys are ‘non-essential,’ and this business should be closed down until further notice and until this epidemic is over and completed, until the government gives orders to reopen.”

Supernatural Movement

After that first call, I went directly to the office of Sheriff Glenn Hamilton of Sierra County, New Mexico, our home county. The sheriff made it clear that he would stand with our church and with me to defend our constitutional rights—even if it meant going to jail himself.

The following Sunday, Hamilton addressed our congregation, informing them of their constitutional right to assemble and making the following profound statement: “I’m here to ensure that I will be that guy who is the barrier between the oppressive government and those officials who are trying to enforce it.”

I watched God at work in the convergence of governmental authority and revival fire. The sheriff addressed our church as the service was livestreamed, sending shock waves across our state. A peaceable meeting was set up with Hamilton, community faith leaders, the New Mexico state police and me. The law enforcement officers shared their concerns about the medical aspects of COVID-19.

One of my comments helped those present understand our moral obligation and spiritual responsibility to keep God’s house open. I stood before them and said, “the only thing worse than dying of COVID-19 would be to die of COVID-19 without Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life and burn in hell for eternity.” These heartfelt words silenced the room.

On May 3, 2020, Hamilton used the authority of his office to perform one of the most courageous acts in the history of New Mexico—and potentially America—as he deputized our entire congregation. After doing so, he congratulated us as special deputies and informed us that one of the benefits of this act was that law enforcement officials remained exempt from the governor’s restrictive order.

However, not everyone saw this as positive. The New Mexico State Police served me a cease-and-desist order on May 10, 2020, because I continued to hold church services. The video of the officer delivering this order went viral, and by the following Sunday, people from all over our state converged on Truth or Consequences to stand with us. These supporters held a huge parade, showing they stood behind our church, the sheriff and me. Politicians and those running for powerful positions of government converged upon our small city.

The divine convergence the Lord had spoken to me about years before was now happening before my eyes. Because of that powerful moment of standing for His truth, I now serve as a co-chair of Rep. Yvette Herrell’s Faith Leaders Coalition. On May 24, 2020—my birthday—former President Donald J. Trump declared the church essential. Hamilton’s unprecedented deputization of our church members later became the catalyst that moved the New Mexico Sheriff’s Association to nominate him as Sheriff of the Year.

This powerful journey has paved the way for our church to reach people in government as well as law enforcement with the gospel of Jesus Christ. In fact, my most recent book, The Call for Strong Godly Leadership, has the subtitle A Compilation of Leaders From the Church, Marketplace and Law Enforcement. Seven active, former or retired law enforcement officials each wrote a chapter. Frank Shelton Jr., an evangelist who has worked for 20 years on Capitol Hill and in the lineage of six generations of Washington, D.C., police, wrote the book’s foreword.

These are unusual times, and God is moving in unusual ways. My story is real and true, and I lived every second of it. But it is also a picture of what God is doing in our day. A convergence of revival fire and governmental authority is coming to America, and I count myself privileged to play a part in His divine purposes.

In general, most deliverance ministry and spiritual warfare prayers fall short of what we need to bind, restrict, clean up and clear up the spiritual atmosphere. People stay in bondage because we don’t go deep enough and far enough in using our authority and casting out demons. We get bored and stagnant in our prayer time and don’t partner with the Holy Spirit to listen to what He says needs to be prayed out. I remember a mother who kept trying to take charge of her child’s health by praying in her mind, “I rebuke you, Satan.” I told her she must speak out and decree into the situation, but she persisted that rebuking the devil in her mind was enough.

There are two issues with her way of thinking:

1. The first is that the devil cannot hear what we think or pray to God silently. Therefore, the demon attacking the child was neither hearing nor heeding the mother’s authority.

2. The second is a misunderstanding of the meaning of the word “rebuke.” “Rebuke” means to take authority over something. When we rebuke something, we need to take authority over it and then give it a follow-up command.

In the Scriptures, when Jesus rebuked, He gave a follow-up command. A good example is when He was in the middle of a storm and He rebuked the wind and then spoke to the sea. The Bible says, “He rose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace, be still!’ Then the wind ceased and there was a great calm” (Mark 4:39).

Jesus rebuked the wind, which was disrupting the sea. After He rebuked the wind and took authority over it, He spoke to the sea with a follow-up command to be still. Notice that the wind ceased first, as He began with a rebuke, the starting point of authority. The wind and the sea—both things He took authority over—had to react for the stillness to come forth. It was twofold: rebuking and speaking a follow-up command.

Another example is when Jesus delivered a man who was deaf and dumb from a demon. “When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the foul spirit, saying to it, ‘You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter him no more'” (Mark 9:25).

Jesus took authority over the foul spirit, addressing it by name and commanding it to depart and not reenter. He rebuked and then followed up by commanding it to leave and enter no more. He was taking care of the immediate situation and preventing future movement.

When searching through the Scriptures for spiritual warfare techniques, we must pay attention to words such as “saying,” “said,” and “call.” We must look for action words in the Scripture. Look again at what Jesus said in Mark 9:25: “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter him no more.” Jesus not only cast out the demon but also took authority, told it to depart and then sealed the person’s deliverance by commanding the demon to enter him no more. He rebuked and took complete authority over every part of the demonic stronghold.

We must follow Jesus’ example. Direct the demonic realm through commanding. Decree and take authority to demolish attacks. I recommend that you use a variety of words in prayer. This practice can help you avoid praying ineffective and legalistic prayers. When you pray out loud, the enemy can hear your prayers, and he can tell when you are being legalistic and praying routinely instead of being inspired by the Holy Spirit and releasing your authority.

Allow the Spirit to Lead

Jesus was not traditional or legalistic. He did not repeatedly minister the same way. The Spirit of God led Him. It is essential to be led by the Holy Spirit in warfare, releasing prayer and receiving discernment. I like to say, “Deliverance is not a cookie-cutter ministry. It is not one-size-fits-all.” What works for one person doesn’t necessarily fit for another.

Jesus delivered in different ways. He conducted warfare through His own prayers, not through another person’s prayers. It seems that in the body of Christ we want others to fight our battles more than we want to fight them ourselves. We need to learn to pray as Jesus did. Spiritual warfare, being prophetic and releasing the ministry of deliverance are the most unusual and unique ministries. We can’t expect to follow a pattern or formula. We must allow our spirit man to be Spirit-led and instruct us how to release the ministry for each particular situation we encounter.

In addition to following the Spirit’s leading, we must follow Jesus’ example in Scripture. When Jesus dealt with demons, He told them to be quiet (Mark 1:25) and forbade them to speak (Mark 1:34). He did not need to consult with a demon to evict it. Rebuke is taking authority over a demon, not bargaining, arguing or consulting with it. Your words are prophetically assigned to hit a target. Demons must bow to the name of Jesus and the authority you exude.

Clay Clark’s ReAwaken America Tour, featuring Gen. Michael Flynn, continues to attract well-known speakers and is creating a diverse group of presenters. Doctors, lawyers, politicians, pastors, patriots, media hosts, business owners, Latinos, African American, Asian, Caucasian and more—both Christian and non-Christian—share the stage with the same goal in mind: the essential need to know the truth to restore our nation.

In addition to founding the ReAwaken America Tour, Clark is founder of and host of the . He and his partner, Dr. Robert Zoeller, have started and grown 13 million-dollar businesses by networking with business owners and have helped thousands of business owner clients.

After receiving calls from business clients with concerns about the impact the management of COVID-19 would have on their businesses, income and families, Clark went into a deep research mode to learn what would help his clients. In the process, he learned many disturbing truths about the origin and management of the pandemic that mainstream media, many in the medical community and the government were not telling the public. In response, Clark held his first event in April 2021, open to the public for the purpose of revealing truth.

The response by attendees has been strong as anticipated. However, the response from those desiring to speak at the events has been a surprise, according to Clark’s team. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is among those well-known individuals who contacted Clark and wanted to be part of the speaker lineup. As a member of the wealthy and well-established Kennedy family and prominent member of the Democratic Party, Kennedy’s addition as a keynote on the tour lends credence to the fact that Clark is not promoting political parties, but truth.

Kennedy is an American environmental lawyer, chairman of Children’s Health Defense and New York Times bestselling author with his newest book, titled The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health. Much of what Kennedy shared at the ReAwaken America’s Anaheim, California tour stop was inspired by his book and the extensive research he has done.

Opening his presentation in July, Kennedy told the audience he would be talking about what is happening in our country, how things are being done and would expose the corruption of Dr. Anthony Fauci out of the desire to protect our democracy and our children. He acknowledged there is a lot of partisanship polarization and encouraged the audience to start recognizing children are neither Republican nor Democrat.
