television once a year and I would have to do all my homework and all my chores so that I could watch The Wizard of Oz Willy Wonka in the Chocolate Factory sound of music do you remember those days we

your way back home whether that's accepting Christ for the first time accepting Jesus as your lord and savior or whether that's rededicating your life which I did in Spring of 1990 through Christian

to us he doesn't leave us alone he's an everpresent help and he is always trying to leave breadcrumbs on the trail to get us back to the Father's Heart back in the Huddle of the Trinity back to where we belong I have an incredible guest today his name is Jared Ellis he comes from a very distinguished family in fact his family has a household name and he has spent his life at the feet of Grace learning he is an accomplished attorney he is an influencer a podcaster a minister a family man a servant he is a friend of God and we're going to hear about his life Impressions that were made and just his incredible story also maybe a little bit about the new love of his life um someone that's uh not a stranger to come home in fact she's an incredible friend so will you stay tuned and help me welcome Jared Ellis before we do we're going to go to Rabbi Kurt Schneider and he has something very powerful to say when I finished writing my newest book a journey into Divine love a revelation of the song of songs I never felt so good after finished writing a book I've written 12 books so far and this book gave me the most satisfaction out of any book that I've written even though I loved all the books that I've written I really do I love I love them all but there was something about the completion of this book that was just different and I think the reason is because my own connection to the revelation of the song of songs which often times referred to as the song of Solomon is so personal the Lord transformed my life through the song of songs he brought me into a revelation of how beautiful he is and how beautiful I am to him he brought me into that Revelation like no other book in the Bible had done don't misunderstand me I'm not putting this book above the other books in the Bible I'm just saying that this book the song of songs has a unique anointing in it to bring us into the intimacy and rivers of God's love for us you see the song of songs which is a poetic love dialogue between King Solomon and his bride the shulamite bride is actually prophetic in nature it's actually a love dialogue between God and his people between Jesus and the church the Bible tells us in the Book of Revelation chapter 19 that the climax of our Salvation takes place in what is known as the marriage supper of the Lamb think about it our relationship our Union with God is best described as a marriage union he in us and Us in him and in my book a journey into Divine love I go into the depths and the fullness of what this marriage Union that we have with mesiah is really about I also love that the song of songs brings us on a journey from what immature love looks like to what mature love looks like many of us when we first came to know the Lord we were so emotionally in love it with him it was such a special season but as then his life went on some of that first love began to wne I help you to understand in my book a journey into Divine love why that is and what God is calling us to as he's maturing you and I my beloved friend into Divine love you don't want to neglect this book it's one of the most important books in the world of God I really encourage you to give yourself devotedly to receiving What the Lord Has for you in the song of songs once again often times referred to as the Song of Solomon I hope you'll get my book I think it'll help you and be a blessing well today I have a very special guest and he is the son of alveda King and the great nephew of Dr Martin Luther King Jr it's such an honor today to have you Jared Ellis thank you thank you it's an honor well before we dive into this I will say that if you haven't seen the programs I've done too with the precious powerful Southern bell conservative prolife amazing Alva King you can go to CTN online.com go to the on demand section go on our app go to the YouTube channel and you can watch those programs they're very powerful but how wonderful to be raised with your mom and in the king Legacy indeed indeed what was that like wow I tell you it was uh it was a really rich um experience um I I I have the honor and uh and the privilege quite honestly to be raised very closely I'm at the knee of Dr Martin Luther King Sor uh Dr King Junior's father yeah and uh was raised really in his house primarily uh we had a large extended family uh all of my uh uh uh cousins and and aunts were within a fivemile radius wow and so it was really again we went to church together we ate after church together we saw each other throughout the week so you know it's just a very very a a rich family uh structure uh that we had and and um and being raised with with daddy king yeah as he was known uh was at once a living history lesson and U and a living exhortation um into the The King Family Legacy which is translating the gospel into the Public Square yes right living the gospel not only at home uh but in Civic life as well and you probably as a as a young boy and Adolescent maybe didn't even realize um some of the Impressions or the responsibilities or um just the just the the awe uh that you're and the pedestal that so many people put your family on and I'm I'm sure there's a lot of pressure living up to that once you realized um how the public viewed your family well you know it's interesting there was sort of I guess a double perspective I was the the literal baby of the the family and so um I I was the first great grandchild so literally the first in my generation and the only uh for a number a number of years and so certainly there was this protective Instinct that all of the other family members had you know wanted me to have a a happy and normal childhood right but at the same time the family was so very much involved again in in in in in following daddy King's uh uh lead particularly after the boss of uh of Uncle LEL as we all called him and my own grandfather ad uh daddy king really impressed upon us uh the absolute um necessity of being faithful to God's call God's call on the on the line and so you know uh we were very much aware uh that we were carriers of the same calling wow and again it it wasn't about social activism that's a misperception that um that I I I like to take take on um again it was translating the gospel into the Public Square um it was a living faith that was meant to transform uh the city and the nation in which we live in yeah I appreciate that you are bringing Clarity to the Family Mission and the family calling and and I've listened to you know your podcasts and you have this um your heart is is such is you're such a servant leader and you position other servant leaders and that is influence not to mention that you're an incredible prayer Warrior and intercessor and you love and value the the cultural mountains that are so pertinent right now in this dispensation of grace before Jesus returns you again revisiting this idea um that that dror King was primarily a civil rights leader or a social activist um that want has been a moment you know unpacking that unpacking that just a bit uh it's all very clear and Apparent from his readings um there there's a lot of co-opting right yeah with that Legacy on the on the left um and it's it's misplaced and it's Mis it's misleading by Dr King's own words he saw himself as a minister of the Gospel um he was quite content to minister um as a as a as a preacher right just just ministering to his own flock until he received a call calling to raise a prophetic voice yes and by prophetic if we look at the Old Testament prophets we see that uh prophets were uh were God's spokespersons uh translators and mediators of the of the Covenant if you look at Moses as an example but always those who spoke to the nation of Israel yeah spoke to the conscience of the nation and advocated and demanded righteousness calling the nation to righteousness calling the nation to living out uh the kingdom principles that God wrote Into the torat yeah okay we see then uh in Ephesians 4 that Christ constitutes five Ministry gifts for the edification of the church one of those is the prophet yeah but apart from the office of the Prophet The Gift of prophesying and that is again speaking to the nation calling the nation to Godliness calling the nation to live according to Kingdom principles is it belongs to all of us as Christians and so the best way understand Dr King is one in whom God raised a prophetic voice to speak to the conscience of this nation to call this nation back to God yeah to call this nation to be reconciled to God and then through uh following the reconciliation of the nation to God right then to reconcile the citizens of the nation to one another around Godly Kingdom principles that was that was the calling that he that he answered he did so reluctantly but uh from his own writings he said listen when I see suffering when I see uh uh uh Injustice and he and he spoke of Injustice in biblical terms right right uh when I see partiality as as James mentions um in his letter yeah right um where God is no respector of persons but we're all made in the image and likeness of God and so it is a grievous sin right to show partiality to one whom Miss maybe lesser position doesn't have the same uh money or status or what have you we're called to glorify God by again recognizing the dignity in each of us who carries God's Own image and likeness and so Dr King said look I I can't be silent that's I look at at our our our tradition as Christians and I see that we were World Changers the original Christians brought an end to infanticide they brought an end to the gladiatorial games they did so in the name of Jesus Christ Dr King saw and heard an irresistible call to raise his voice to call this nation to Kingdom principles yeah and yeah that's that's that's the way to understand Dr King's Legacy and it's it's h it remains our our challenge uh and our task and our burden today as modern Christians um we'll talk a little bit more uh what we face is a little bit different right I think the challenges are greater but again understanding Dr King is one who answered a prophetic call yeah and understanding that we in this generation are under the same Duty and obligation to respond to God's prophetic call to this generation is really the heartbeat of uh of of of of my uh my message he was a a John the Baptist that was saying prepare ye the way and he did the ultimate thing uh not by choice but he certainly was very well aware of the fact that every time he opened his mouth there was a threat that he would be killed absolutely he was bold he was courageous he didn't back down by the intimidation um or the nonsense of the day and I you know know I know sometimes we say and and it's not a Biblical phrase but we say sometimes they just don't make them like that anymore but the thing is they do amen um they do for for those that will pick the mantle up amen and in your life I see um just from the very little that I know and appreciate is that you like Elisha you know picked up the mantle and you are continuing the message with more knowledge more Authority more anointing more glory and you have prepared yourself through educ the education Mountain through the law degree through working in Corporate America through being a family man through ministering all you you God's used you in all these different um places and mountains of influence and now he's giv you this podcast yes which is another way that you are um screaming the mountain or Screaming the message from The Mountaintop so tell us about the podcast and how God said to do it and how he's using it amen thank you so much well the podcast is Christ on the Mountaintop and uh it's a little bit of a a play on Dr King's last speech been to the Mountaintop uh where he he he prophesied and he spoke about a day uh in which again the reconciliation um of this nation to Godly principles would lead to a Reconciliation of its citizens to one another and you remember the I have Dre speech where he he spoke and it was very audacious dream you know where the former sons of of slave owners and the former sons of Sons of slaves would sit at the table of Brotherhood well can tell you it's coming to pass um in the tremendous uh uh story uh recounted um uh by Will for III uh who uh became tremendous friends uh with Matt Lockett and it turns out that will for is descended from slaves Matt Lockett is descended from uh the former slave owners and they are now Brothers amazing does it God have a great sense of humor amazing tremendous there's some stuff you just like you can't make this stuff up only God could do this yeah amazing amazing uh and so yes uh Dr King answered that prophetic call and God delivered uh on that word tremendously we're not it's not perfect right um but but you and I sitting here together I mean it's a complete transformation right and being faithful to God's call well Christ on the Mountaintop um recognizes that the challenges we face today quite honestly uh Jen I the challenges to our nation are greater than any I've seen in my lifetime that's right uh we we certainly uh had a tremendous Victory with the overturning of roie weight but we have again a a massive tie attempting to regroup and reather and and bring that uh that Bloodshed back you know to our nation uh the uh the homosexual agenda uh gross perversions through uh transgender uh transhumanism uh the we're seeing uh tests and Pilots right for technology that will will Mark our bodies right so that we're neither able to buy nor sell without taking taking the mark right I mean these threats are are are are overwhelming yeah and so I believe that God is raising a generation of prophetic voices right during the Civil Rights Movement you had one preeminent prophetic voice uh here it's going to take more than that that's right here it's going to take an army tribes an army of prophetic voices right who are willing to take a stand willing to speak uh truth to power willing to uh to take headon these forces that threaten our very existence loving Our Lives not even uh unto unto death and so it's a call it's a call uh to an army of those with prophetic voices who are willing to take a stand uh not just sit comfortably behind uh our our four Church walls but to actually go into the Public Square and articulate Godly principles and demand nothing less and the way that we're governed and the way that our institutions are structured it's true everything you said it's in the word we read about it we know it's coming and yet there's been been an acceleration and it's here and it can be overwhelming and you are a commander of the army and God's given you This brilliant um articulate brain and you're able to communicate to um to people that may not uh go to into the four walls of a church um that may hide behind their education or their degrees and so how what do you say to those who feel a little overwhelmed well encourage courage is a really big part of it um I had the privilege of sitting down and and interviewing with my wife Sandy who we will hopefully talk at least a little bit about them it's such a I don't know what can I say I'm going to blush blush blush blush you're newly wet amen amen oh goodness but uh but Lou uh tremendous General right in the in the body of Christ who's organizing a million woman march to take a stand um a stand against again this Rising tide of of threats um that that we're facing um as the body of Christ in the United States and and Lou talked about the the need for courage yeah um and the willingness to take a stand if any of us lacks wisdom uh uh the Epistle of James promises we can ask and God will freely we'll freely give um I lack wisdom I ask the Lord uh to to fill me with wisdom and the ability uh to speak his truth to provide that in uh the uh the proper context whatever what whatever that is so I would say the willingness to take a stand but always stand for the gospel yes one thing that that um I I think is an ongoing challenge um is is seeding or or giving the the church's voice right to secular interests so it's it's easy to uh to latch on to a strong voice one that may have some overlap with what we believe but but isn't really carrying the heart of the Gospel that's right so we can Elevate politics over principle we can align ourselves with those who are politically motivated and again lose the ability to actually articulate the principle that should actually be be carried so what I'm wanting to do is to encourage Christians to be faithful to the gospel and allow the gospel to make alliances maybe across you know lines that we may have stayed on the other side of politically or socially or culturally what have you we should be looking for you know our our fellow brothers and sisters Along Gospel lines right and and showing unity and solidarity there not only in what we say but in the way that we conduct ourselves right it's very important that when when when non-christians see us they should see one thing and they should see again the love of God that unites us across lines that normally divide right and a a fierce loyalty to the gospel elevating the gospel over politics that's right um again over um over social practices personalities right right and an advocating for Christ advocating for Christ yes well you know when I interviewed your mom I think if I had to use one word to describe what oozes out of her is love and so um I love that you referen that love has to be that it has to be the game Cher in our message and in the principles so we don't have a lot of time left you one thing that um I've noticed is how you and I'm sure this is from your legal background how you believe in enter into and petition the courts of Heavens absolutely in your prayer life and how you appeal um and you know the word on in various situations for miracles for signs for wonders how to appeal to the courts of heaven so unpack that because that that's so powerful in men God wants them to come and and throw themselves in front of him and and appeal yes so so talk a little bit about that yes absolutely absolutely well well Paul teaches us in Romans that we have salvation through Christ and all of the riches of God's inheritance right for for for the Saints for his children for his people um are obtained um the moment that we accept Jesus as our Lord and our savior yeah but also it is by the same Jesus that we actually have access to those promises so the promises are granted Upon Our conversion our accessing those promises that's a second step where we actually go and petition and we actually uh receive God is is is is loves us um he he wants us to uh to relate to him he doesn't want us to simply be saved and walk away and so not only do receive all of God's promises and salvation but we must access them right through faith in Jesus Christ and we have an adversary that stands ready to challenge and to oppose um and and courts of Heaven is a dimension of prayer it's not a formula right it's a dimension of prayer where we're able to go and appeal to God when we're facing the adversary whoever looks to bring cases and by cases I mean actual legal cases um to stop the flow of God's blessing to stop uh the receipt the manifestation of go of our inheritance uh from God as saints of God and so courts of Heaven um is a dimension of prayer where we're actually able to go and appeal to God who is our father of course um who is our covenant friend yeah but is also the judge of all creation all things seen and unseen and so uh courts of Heaven allows us to go and to counter and um and and overturn yeah uh those instances where Satan is bringing a case based on uh our own sin or based on even iniquity that we may have inherited through our through our blood lines and these are things it have to be actually dealt with um in a systematic methodical fashion um and and in in many instances that's going to be the only way uh to actually get the Breakthrough yeah I love that I and I it's fascinating and we could talk about it you know for another 20 minutes and there's still so many Realms but what I'd like to do is ask you to pray to enter in with our viewers to the courts of Heaven to that dimension of prayer and pray over them absolutely thank you Father God we bless your Holy Name holy are you Lord God we thank you Lord God that when Jesus died for us on the cross when Jesus gave his body to be broken for us uh when Jesus Paid the ultimate price to take our sins onto his own body that was the greatest legal transaction in the history of humankind we thank you Lord God that because of Christ's sacrifice we are the inheritors of all of the promises of scripture they are in Christ yes and amen we thank you Lord God that is part of that promise we're able to come against our adversary who goes about out like a roaring lion seeking whom he may bring a case against so Lord God I want to pray for all of our viewers today and pray specifically that those who need a breakthrough those who need deliverance from their adversary Lord God that you would judge in their favor that you would Lord God wash away and anull every legal right or argument or or or or attack and Lord God release upon them release upon every viewer The Riches of your treasure The Inheritance Lord God that's purchased by the Lord Jesus Christ I'm praying for a breakthrough and a full release and a full manifestation in the life of every believer watching this show today this TV show today in the mighty name of Jesus amen hallelujah hallelujah amen Jared thank you so much for being with us today you have to come back with c so
