MICHELE BACHMANN: Do you realize that when you vote, we win
elections? But do you realize when you stay home,
we lose elections? And we lose the Biblical
values that this nation was founded upon.
(Music)
GEORGE PEARSONS: This is Pastor George Pearsons. I welcome you
to The Believer's Voice, a Victory broadcast. The special
edition, Faith for our Nation. We have a midterm election
coming up, and we are going to vote. We are mobilizing all of
our partners, our friends, and those of you that are watching,
to vote. Your vote is so important. We are the difference
makers. MICHELE BACHMANN: Yeah. GEORGE PEARSONS: And I have two
of the difference makers sitting here with me on this broadcast.
Buddy Pilgrim, thank you- BUDDY PILGRIM: Thank you. What a week
it's been. GEORGE PEARSONS: -for being with us. It's been a
tremendous week. And I so appreciate the input that you
have and all that you've done to mobilize the believers- MICHELE
BACHMANN: Amen. GEORGE PEARSONS: -to get out there and vote, the
Christian world as well as the Jewish world- BUDDY PILGRIM:
That's right. GEORGE PEARSONS: -to go out there and vote. How
important it is. And Congresswoman Michele Bachmann,
we are- MICHELE BACHMANN: Oh, why thank you.
GEORGE PEARSONS: - we are blessed to have you. MICHELE
BACHMANN: Thank you. GEORGE PEARSONS: You're absolutely a
delight. We love you being here on these broadcasts. And you
really carry a voice to be heard. The insights that you
have, the experience that you had in Washington and the
political offices that you've held, and running for President.
Oh my goodness. Have no idea what that's like, but ...
MICHELE BACHMANN: It's the hardest thing you ever do in
your life, let me tell you. Every man would tell you that.
GEORGE PEARSONS: But we appreciate the sacrifices that
you've made. And what you're doing now in getting the Word
out there. Thank you, in your busy schedule, for being with us
on the broadcast this last week. What a true, true honor it is to
have you with us. MICHELE BACHMANN: Oh, thank you. I mean,
truth be told, I'd pay you to be here, because I'm having so much
fun. I admire and respect both of you two gentlemen so much-
BUDDY PILGRIM: Thank you. MICHELE BACHMANN: -and I'm so
grateful for both of you for what you've meant to the Kingdom
of God and for the advancement of the Gospel. And we are
advancing the Gospel- GEORGE PEARSONS: Yes, we are. MICHELE
BACHMANN: -in this show. We're advancing the Gospel, because
blessed is the nation, Psalms ... let's put the slide up.
Psalms 33:12. "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord."
America stands firmly blessed because our God is the Lord. And
Buddy, you've had the book that we are asking our partners to
access and receive. We have a Bible,
this is our Bible this is our civil Bible-
GEORGE PEARSONS: Civil Bible. Yeah. MICHELE
BACHMANN: -that the ministry has put together. And I hope
everyone reads it, because this is our founding documents that
are based on Biblical values. BUDDY PILGRIM: That's right.
MICHELE BACHMANN: We've had our wonderful friend and partner
David Barton with us many, many times. And David has gone
through our founding documents and shown where the founders
literally went line by line, precept by precept, through the
Holy Bible, and wrote the Declaration Independence, and
the Mayflower Compact, and the Constitution
of the United States. That was all based on biblical principles
and Biblical values. GEORGE PEARSONS: And the price is
right. I mean, it's absolutely free. So we're sowing it in
the-- BUDDY PILGRIM: That's right. MICHELE BACHMANN: So what
are you waiting for, you know? Get it. That's right.
And your listeners have, they have ... your viewers
have picked this up, they understand the importance of
this. And they are the difference makers. Every single
show- GEORGE PEARSONS: That's so good. So good. MICHELE BACHMANN:
-we talked about how, and ... let's put the first slide up
about who the difference makers are. You are the difference
makers. You are the ones, you are spiritually active. You are
governmentally engaged. You make up 9% of the adult population.
You are 20 million adults in this country. You are fiscal,
social, and governmentally conservative. You are born again
Christians. You attend church. You read the Bible. You believe
the Bible, that it's trustworthy. You're active in
your church. You are politically active. You're registered to
vote. And you're a frequent voter. Do you
realize that when you vote, we win elections? But do you
realize when you stay home, we lose elections? And we lose the
Biblical values that this nation was founded upon. That's why
these shows are so important, because we want to talk to you
about the Biblical values that lead to greater prosperity and
happiness, and how we keep them. Buddy. BUDDY PILGRIM: I want to
pick up on that point. You said that's why these shows are so
important. If you've missed any of these broadcasts earlier in
the week, go back and look them up online. Go to and you
can find them. Go back and listen to every one of them.
To your credit, Michele ... she laid out the
agenda of the week. GEORGE PEARSONS: The wonderful notes
are available online, as well. BUDDY PILGRIM: Yes. We've talked
about the party platforms. We've talked about Israel and foreign
policy. We've talked about economics. Can't remember the
other thing ... MICHELE BACHMANN: The judges. BUDDY
PILGRIM: Judges. MICHELE BACHMANN: We talked about the
importance of the judges. Yeah, that's right. BUDDY PILGRIM: We
talked about judges on Tuesday. Every one of these things are
solid reasons that will give you direction on who to vote for and
will tell you how important it is for you to vote. MICHELE
BACHMANN: And how distinctly different the two party
platforms are. On this table, George- GEORGE PEARSONS: It's
stunning. Stunning. MICHELE BACHMANN: -you have a copy of
the Republican party platform and the Democrat party platform.
And what we've gone through all week long is that the Democrat
party, the big news, really, of this fall's election, is how the
Democrat party- GEORGE PEARSONS: It's changing. MICHELE BACHMANN:
-has changed dramatically. They've taken a quantum leap
toward the left. They've embraced positions of the
Democrat Socialist platform. And again, I want to encourage
people if we've got the slide- GEORGE PEARSONS: That's good.
MICHELE BACHMANN: -of the Democrat Socialist party, people
need to go and check out their website and read for themselves
what they stand for. We're not making this up. This is their
own words. And in their platform, it's as atheistic,
unbiblical, as anything you have ever seen before. GEORGE
PEARSONS: True. True. MICHELE BACHMANN: And we're gonna talk
about that today. Today's topic is on unity versus disunity.
BUDDY PILGRIM: And, you know, the book of Acts talks about how
important it is for us to be one. For us to be in unity. And
part of the tactic that the Left uses is to divide us. Now, we
should be in unity on what we believe in- GEORGE PEARSONS:
Right. MICHELE BACHMANN: Amen. BUDDY PILGRIM: -and we should
not be divided on things such as rich versus poor, young versus
old, black versus white, male versus female, straight versus
gay. All of those are tactics that are used- GEORGE PEARSONS:
To divide. BUDDY PILGRIM: -to divide people. And when you
divide people ... you can find some little box that everybody
fits in. And they go, "Oh, well that's the party that fits my
little group over there. I'm going to vote with
them." And they vote based on divisive
tactics. And it's time to take a stand against
that. MICHELE BACHMANN: Amen. That's right. The worst
time in American history was the American Civil War. We literally
were a house divided. We've got a slide, a picture of Abraham
Lincoln, who many people believe is one of the top Presidents in
our history. Abraham Lincoln quoted from Mathew 12:25 when he
said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand."
That's exactly right. I think all of your viewers
would agree. We have never seen this level of disharmony in the
United States. It's unbelievable the unhinged nature of discourse
that we're seeing in our country right now. But that's not what
Jesus said. If you look at John 17:21, we've got a slide with
this verse. Jesus said, "Father ..." in His prayer, "I pray that
they all may be one, as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in
Thee, that they also may be one in Us, that the world may
believe that Thou hast sent me." Jesus' prayer
that we would be one even as He as the Father is one, that's
part of the harmony that you have when you're a nation that's
pulling together, going in the same direction. Well, in order
to do that, you have to be on the same page. And the page that
we were on the from the inception of the nation was a
belief system based in Christianity. That was our Godly
principles. You didn't have to be a Christian to live in
America. You could have no faith at all. But it was the pillars
of Christianity that brought about unity. That was our goal.
In fact, we can pull a slide up. From the
very first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court- GEORGE PEARSONS:
Oh, this is so good. MICHELE BACHMANN: -John Jay wrote, "The
Bible is the best of all books. For it is the Word of God and
teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next.
Continue, therefore, to read it, and to regulate your life by its
precepts." Another Supreme Court Justice,
Joseph Story, said, "One of the beautiful boasts of our
municipal jurisprudence, our law, is that Christianity is a
part of the common law." Do you get that? Did you hear what I
just said? A Supreme Court Justice, Joseph Story, wrote
that Christianity is a part of American common law. There never
has been a period in which the common law did not recognize
Christianity as lying at its foundations.
"I verily believe Christianity necessary to the support of
civil society." GEORGE PEARSONS: What a statement. MICHELE
BACHMANN: That was confirmed later by the Senate Judiciary
committee report that said, "We are a Christian people. Not
because the law demands it, not to gain exclusive benefits or to
avoid legal disabilities. But from choice and education. And
in a land thus universally Christian ..." that's what the
Senate Judiciary Committee said, we're universally Christian,
"... what is to be expected? What desired but that we shall
pay due regard to Christianity?" In other
words, no one was required to profess Christ. All faiths were
welcome here, or no faith at all. But American freedoms were
precious. And they were precious because the basis was found in
the truths and in the precepts of Christian understanding. That
was our unity. BUDDY PILGRIM: And all faiths are still welcome
here, and- MICHELE BACHMANN: Amen. BUDDY PILGRIM: -and we're
not to enter into the kind of identity politics that I was
talking about earlier. And that's really where we've been
in a country, is this identity politics, male versus female,
rich, poor, black, white, all of those kinds of things. MICHELE
BACHMANN: Pitting us against each other. BUDDY PILGRIM: The
only identity we need to have is our identity in Christ. GEORGE
PEARSONS: That's true. MICHELE BACHMANN: Amen. BUDDY PILGRIM:
And the only dividing we need to do is the dividing of truth from
lies. And this is the sword that we have- MICHELE BACHMANN: Amen.
BUDDY PILGRIM: -to rightly divide the truth- MICHELE
BACHMANN: Amen. GEORGE PEARSONS: That's really good.
BUDDY PILGRIM: -from the lies. So if we as Christians use
this sword to shed light on the issues, we'll have the right
division, the only division. Not a division based on identity
politics like's being played now, but an identity based on
who we are in Christ, and how to identify truth versus lies, even
in the political arena. MICHELE BACHMANN: Amen. And we are
seeing such a contrary view to what you have just advocated.
What I think God meant for us. And what we enjoyed and
experienced for so many years. Now we're seeing a division, an
unhinged division, called the resistance. Maybe a lot of the
viewers have heard that term. It's called resistance. It's
what Democratic Socialists call the division in this country.
It's a house divided. And Abraham Lincoln warned against
it. Here's just a couple of examples. A
year ago, there was a man who disagreed with Republican
politics. He bought a rifle. He went to a baseball diamond where
Republicans were practicing for a baseball game. A Congressional
baseball game between Democrats and Republicans to benefit a
charity. And he shot ... he shot police officers. He shot Steve
Scalise. He shot five Republican members of Congress at a
baseball game because he didn't like their politics.
The President's spokesperson was thrown out of a
restaurant. She was with her family, and she was thrown out
by the owner of the restaurant because they didn't agree with
her politics. The Secretary, a cabinet Secretary of Homeland
Security, was screamed at by organizers in a restaurant, and
she was finally chased out of that restaurant by people who
were screaming at her. The President of the
United States was walking through the rotunda of the US
Capital. He was walking through to meet with the Speaker of the
House, Paul Ryan. While President Trump was walking
through, a female Democrat intern screamed at the top of
her lung a profanity so foul we can't even repeat it.
Now, have you ever in your lifetime thought- GEORGE
PEARSONS: No, no. MICHELE BACHMANN: -that a college
student would scream at the top of her lungs at the President of
the United States as he's walking through the rotunda? But
she did. A Democrat Congresswoman, that
maybe a lot of you viewers have seen on TV, has regularly been
calling for people to scream at Republicans in public if they
have any association with the Trump administration, anywhere
they're found in public. She said, "Give them no peace. For
the rest of their life, give them no peace."
Now, this is bizarre. We've never seen this before.
And regularly, we see pundits on TV comparing our President of
the United States to Hitler. Okay, now let's just take a
chill pill for a second. Let's just pause, take a step back.
Think of what happened to six million Jews. Think of what
happened to them, and their memory. And you're honestly
going to desecrate their memory by comparing Donald Trump to a
maniac like Adolf Hitler? This bears no relation in fact.
There's no reality to that statement. It is just a bizarre
statement that's being made to bring hysteria and to bring
division into the United States. It's pure hysteria, whipped up
emotion, to create a mob mentality. It's based on fake
news, fake rallies, fake beliefs. It's all emotion. It's
all, "I want what I want because I want it." BUDDY PILGRIM: It's
desired to motivate people to vote based on animus and hatred.
Not on issues. And what we're talking about, what we've been
talking about all week- MICHELE BACHMANN: That's right, Buddy.
BUDDY PILGRIM: -is issues- GEORGE PEARSONS: Issues. MICHELE
BACHMANN: Exactly. That's right. BUDDY PILGRIM: -so that
Christian people understand the issues and understand the right
basis for the issues. MICHELE BACHMANN: That's right. That's
exactly right. GEORGE PEARSONS: Yeah. True. MICHELE BACHMANN:
And you know, the current head of the Democrat National
Committee is Tom Perez. And Socialist candidates are the
future of the party. That's what he said. So again, Republican
Democrat, and we're not here to be political, we're just trying
to put facts on the table, but the Democrat party has veered so
far left that the head of the party, so the future of our
party, is Socialist? Again, look at what they stand for. They're
all about the revolution. They're all about the
revolution. And the political revolution, the end goal, is to
break down the society, because what do they want? One world
government. That's what they want. Now,
this is bizarre. Now, think about what Socialists stand for.
We have gone through all of these shows ... Buddy, you're
exactly right. People should watch all the shows from this
week. They won't believe what they stand for. No prisons? No
borders? Everybody gets everything quote free? Well,
it's not free to the people who are paying for it. And seven
billion people should be allowed to come into our country, no
matter if they're terrorists? No matter if they're gangbangers?
No matter if they're carrying diseases? I mean, really? GEORGE
PEARSONS: Move all the Jews out of Israel. MICHELE BACHMANN:
Move all the Jews ... this is what they're standing for? Well,
just also remember that two years ago, Bernie Sanders, an
open Socialist who is running for President of the United
States on the Democrat party, he garnered the majority of the
vote of those who are under age 40. Under age 40. So today,
those who are under age 42 who are looking at the Democrat
party, they have fully embraced the viewpoint of the Socialist
party. That's why the Democrat party has made this quantum leap
to the left. And again, we're not here to bash any political
party. But just to be wise about what they're standing for.
This is incredibly important. We need to
understand that in the 1990's, America's education system
changed dramatically. In 1993, the textbooks, the national
education standards, all changed. All 50 states gave up
their individual state standards to the federal government. And
instead, they embraced federal standards. Those federal
standards, which became No Child Left Behind, today they're
called Common Core, they embraced the principles of
Socialism. So it's no surprise why people
under age 42 are embracing Socialist ideas like "Let's have
the government run healthcare. Let's have the government run
businesses. Let's not have borders. Let's not have
prisons." They were taught that in the public schools. BUDDY
PILGRIM: And those are based on a lie. MICHELE BACHMANN: Yes.
BUDDY PILGRIM: The lie is the promise of equal outcomes. And
equal outcomes is antithetical to our founding documents. Equal
outcomes is antithetical to what the Word teaches. You take ... I
refer to these- MICHELE BACHMANN: It's not based in
reality. BUDDY PILGRIM: No, I refer to these so often because
they're two of the most powerful parables that Jesus ever told.
The parable of the pounds, in Luke 19, and the parable of the
talents in Matthew Chapter 25. And those teach
two different things. The parable of the pounds, ten
servants each got one mina each. One pound each. That's equal
opportunity. All 10 got exactly the same opportunity. But when
the results were measured, one of the had taken his one and
earned 10. One has taken his one and earned five. And one had
taken his one and not done anything with it. And they had
different rewards as a result of what they had done. As a result
of the equal opportunity they all had. You go
to the other parable, the parable of the talents in
Matthew, it kind of picks up where that one leaves off.
Because it says, "One was given five, one was given two, and one
was given one. Each according to his ability." In a sense, what
they've already proved themselves of being capable of
handling. So those don't teach equal outcomes. They teach equal
opportunity, and then they teach proportionate rewards to what
you actually accomplish with what you've been given. MICHELE
BACHMANN: That's right. That's the difference. BUDDY PILGRIM:
And that aligns with America's founding documents. MICHELE
BACHMANN: And that's the different between the two
platforms. That's what we want to make sure that the viewers
understand. You couldn't have a more stark difference today.
There's never been a more stark difference between the two party
platforms of the Republican party and the Democrat party.
Again, we're not trying to be political. We're
trying to be Biblical. And we want to show that there has
been a sharp embrace of the Democrat Socialist party
principles. And you can't believe how anti-biblical there
are until you go and read them. This is an embrace where
education is based on Socialism, versed on parents having the
choice to have their kids have a Godly education. Or it's
embracing open borders versus closed borders. Or it's based
upon Socialism versus free markets, or one world
government. Globalism versus having a secure border. It is a
complete difference. And that's why, yes,
we have a good President. But that President will be
completely handcuffed if he doesn't have a House and a
Senate that will back him. That's why you've got to go out
and vote for the Senate and for the House. I
want to share with you a quote from John Jay. Again, the first
Supreme Court Justice of the United States. We need to
remember this with voting. He said, "Providence, God, has
given to our people the choice of their rulers. And it's the
duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian
nation to select and prefer Christians for our rulers."
That's according to the first Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court. And so if John Jay is telling us that we should be
preferring Christians for our rulers, there's a reason for
that. It isn't because we don't like non-Christians. It's
because he's saying Biblical principles benefit our country.
And so therefore, we need to get out
and register and vote as believers. It's a sacred duty.
Because we're looking at the difference between unity and
disunity. Unification and societal breakdown. Peace and
growth versus division and certain bankruptcy. I mean, you
couldn't have a more stark difference and a more stark
choice. And Deuteronomy says, "I set before you today choosing.
Choose life or death." Hope or not hope. It's all in front of
us. And we get to choose. BUDDY PILGRIM: And as you've reminded
us so many times, George, and as Kenneth does as well, a vote is
a seed. And seed produces after its own kind. And if we cast a
vote for the wrong kind of candidate, it will produce after
its own kind. And we'll reap that harvest. MICHELE BACHMANN:
We reap what we sow. There is no question. GEORGE PEARSONS: Well,
the Word of the Lord came to Brother Copeland about that some
years ago, that if you vote for the wrong candidate, you will be
responsible for every baby's death. And if you don't vote at
all, you'll still be responsible. MICHELE BACHMANN:
And it's over 60 million and counting. Over 60 million. And
remember, the voting, as we talked about in our show on the
Supreme Court Justices, they make the decision. They could
send this whole decision over abortion back to the states.
Which means we'd have a chance in every single state to make a
decision about whether abortions would be legal or not in our
state. We can actually turn this thing around
in the United States. We could move toward Biblical values, or
we could embrace atheistic values. Young people coming up
have been trained in Socialism in public schools. And so we're
trending in that direction. And that's what the Socialists know.
But we also know that we serve a God of the possible. GEORGE
PEARSONS: That's right. MICHELE BACHMANN: Of the possible.
GEORGE PEARSONS: That's right. MICHELE BACHMANN: And that's
where our hope lies, in prayer, not just in prayer, but also in
action. GEORGE PEARSONS: Well, we have faith in Him. MICHELE
BACHMANN: Amen. GEORGE PEARSONS: We have faith for our nation.
MICHELE BACHMANN: Amen. GEORGE PEARSONS: Which is what these
broadcasts are called. And we exercise our faith when we go to
the polls. We do our research, and we have the americastands.us
website where people can go, and they can see the research
necessarily to make the decisions that they need to
make. And I'll just share this about going to
vote. And what this week has done for me, it's just ... it
has inspired us to go vote. When I vote, I get into that polling
booth, and I pray. And I just have a time of worship with the
Lord and thank Him for the privilege and the honor that it
is for me to vote in this nation. And I pray over every
candidate. But then I vote for the ones that He leads me to
vote that are based in the Biblical principles and the
Biblical stand. MICHELE BACHMANN: That's right. GEORGE
PEARSONS: So I encourage everyone right now who's
watching us, you take these words that Buddy and Michele
Bachmann have brought to us, and you make the decision, "I'm
going to vote. I am going to vote during that midterm
election. I'm going to exercise my right in this nation to be
able to bring the Word of the Lord to our nation and to bring
us back to a place where we are operating in the Biblical
principles." Thank you so much- MICHELE
BACHMANN: Oh, you're welcome. What a privilege to be here.
GEORGE PEARSONS: -for being with us. Thank you, Buddy- BUDDY
PILGRIM: You're welcome. GEORGE PEARSONS: -for being with us on
the broadcast. You stay with us. We are going to
be coming back in just ... I'll be coming back in just a
moment. But you just keep this before the
Lord, and you remember how important it is that you be
a difference maker. I'll be right back.
ANNOUNCER: We hope you enjoyed today's teaching from Kenneth
Copeland Ministries. And remember Jesus is Lord.
