0:00.0 | Hi, Gary Stearman. Time for another update from Prophecy Watchers and we have a guest in |
0:11.0 | studio today. Dr. Michael Lake and can I just call you Mike? |
0:16.0 | Please. Thank you. Mike is here to talk about his new book, The Sharif Imperative, and we've done some |
0:23.6 | programs which you'll be seeing in the near future. But it's been great to talk with you. |
0:30.6 | And let's talk for a minute about the imperative that's in this book, the Sharif imperative. |
0:36.6 | What it is in our day that is so imperative? |
0:40.3 | I think part of what the book's about is we need to have a paradigm shift back to publicity |
0:47.3 | that we don't understand the dynamics of the warfare that we're in. And so part of what the book does, |

1:48.8 | We have, we've been too much about appeasing them emotionally instead of equipping them spiritually. |
1:56.4 | And we're coming to a time that it's going to be the spiritual side of things that empowers |
2:03.1 | our families to stay together and to face the days that are ahead, as well as completing |
2:07.5 | our mission. We all have a task in the kingdom of God that we're supposed to do. And it's |
2:12.1 | more than being a pew warmer. It's more than being a, we almost have lazy boy recliner pastors that they want to, you know, |
2:23.3 | have a remote control that controls the preacher. |
2:26.3 | We need to move beyond that. |
