Ep. 53: The Role of Prophets and the Call to Repentance
Manage episode 492612320 series 3501624
Episode Summary:
In this bold episode of Lifting US Up in Liberty, Pastor Earl Wallace continues his teaching on John the Baptist, focusing on the prophet’s fearless call to repentance—not just for everyday people, but also for political rulers like Herod. He connects John’s ministry to the biblical principle of 2 Chronicles 7:14, reminding listeners that national healing and God’s blessing come only after repentance, prayer, and turning from sin.
Pastor Wallace points out that throughout the Old Testament, God used prophets to confront corrupt leaders. When kings sinned, whole nations suffered. That pattern hasn’t changed. He explains that we need that same prophetic courage today—people who will stand up, like John the Baptist and Jonah, and deliver God’s truth to those in power.
The episode also previews an upcoming teaching series on the Ten Commandments, which will include positive paraphrases to help believers apply God’s laws in everyday life.
5 Key Points:
- John the Baptist didn’t flinch. He called Herod—and Israel—to repentance, no matter the cost.
- Prophets spoke truth to power. God always sent messengers to rulers when nations drifted from Him.
- America needs modern-day prophets. Truth-tellers must rise to challenge government sin and cultural compromise.
- Sin at the top affects the whole nation. Biblical history shows how a ruler’s disobedience can bring judgment.
- God’s law still matters. A new series on the Ten Commandments will help us rediscover righteous living.
Why You Should Listen:
If you’ve ever wondered whether Christians should speak out about government decisions and moral decline, this episode will give you biblical clarity and encouragement. God still raises up voices to confront sin, call for repentance, and point people back to His Word.
Why This Episode Matters:
Many believers have grown silent in the face of political sin and moral confusion. This message reminds us that God’s people must speak up—not with anger, but with courage and truth—so our nation can turn back to righteousness.
