Canada's C-9 Crisis: Bill Passes House, Threatens Scripture 0:13 Well, we welcome to the World Prayer Network call. Thank you for being with us. My name is Jim Garlow.0:17 And I'm Rosemary Garlow.0:19 And we wanna remind you of the purpose. The purpose is very simple. We pray for holiness, for righteousness, for biblical justice as opposed to social justice, and truth to prevail throughout the land and the nations of0:30 the earth. If you're part of the media, part of the press, we ask you to step off the call. Nothing that's shared here is to be shared in the media. We ask you to respect that. And finally, we're way beyond the issue of0:41 partisanship. We're way beyond the issue of Republican versus Democrat or even right versus left. And since we're talking about Canada, we're way beyond the issue of even conservative versus liberal. We are squarely0:52 planted with right versus wrong, good versus evil, light versus darkness. Biblical truth as opposed to anti scriptural constructs, the things of God as opposed to the things of the evil 1. That being1:04 said, the official beginning of the World Prayer Network call is always the sounding of the shofar. So we go to Robert Winger in Beit Ho'la, Israel. Robert?1:27 Thank you, Robert. We have a lot going on tonight in this call. I'm very, very excited about it. We're gonna show you some things that, I suspect most of you do not know and have not heard, and you really need to know1:39 about it. Before I do that, I wanna mention once again the newest book that I have out is called The Executive Orders of President Donald j Trump, A Biblical Perspective. It's what my coauthor and I,1:51 Frank Kaser, analyzed 200 of the most recent executive orders of Donald Trump and from a a scriptural lens. And we urge you to go to well versed2:02 world dot org, well versed world dot org, and you can scroll down and you'll see the book listed there. Click on that, and you can buy it either just 1 copy or if you wanna get a case of 20.2:15 And then there's a hardback edition, a special 1 that's Gilded Edge. It's the 1 that was made, as I've told you, to be given to president Trump. And so that one's also available for a donation. You can click on those2:26 individual ones. There's a lot of scripture in this book, a lot. But instead of having to look up every single reference, if you look at the blue button right there on the Well versus World site, you click on that blue2:37 button, it takes you right to all the scriptures without you having to look them up at all. So we want to make you aware of that. Holly, I'm gonna handle it right to you. Yeah. There's the scriptures. So you just click2:48 on that 1, and it brings it right up as you're reading the book. So we urge you to get a bunch of them and give them to your friends. It'll help them understand the biblical principles of governance. Now let's go to3:00 Holly for a couple announcements.3:02 Thank you, doctor Garlow. We just wanna remind all of our listeners whenever you tune in to the World Prayer Network to pass this on to your family and friends. You can find us under World Prayer Network on3:14 Facebook or Well Versed by going to X, Rumble, YouTube, Subsplash, and our website, well versed world dot org. While you're at our website, please sign3:26 up for our newsletter. If you're not already receiving it, we'd love to have you be on our list so that you can remember to pray for our guests who speak about the nation and the nations around the world. Back to you,3:37 doctor Garlo.3:38 That newsletter is really important, especially for tonight. Newsletter went out this morning. You should've gotten it early. If you didn't, please go to that site, sign up because there's a lot of background information3:47 what we're talking about tonight. My wife and I were in Canada this last week. We attended the national prayer breakfast, and after that, the Jerusalem prayer breakfast. Both of them were held in Ottawa, the capital of3:59 Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, and they were actually held in the same convention center in the same room. So 1 ended at 11 o'clock in the morning on, let's see, on Tuesday, and the other 1 began at4:11 1 o'clock on Tuesday. So it was very convenient for us, obviously, but we learned a lot. All of us love Canada. We care deeply about Canada. It's our neighbor to the north that we're very, very close to and a lot of4:22 respects. I'm gonna go right to our first guest because we had something, happen. We we went over to the parliament and watched a vote. It was a critical vote. It was a crisis vote, and the vote was very disappointing4:34 in a lot of ways, ripping away religious freedom. Now, it's not over yet. It's gotta go to their Senate, but their Senate's way different than our Senate in the United States. They'll explain that to you to us in a4:43 moment. And and then, of course, signed into law potentially, assuming a court doesn't challenge it. So I'm gonna go to Faytine right now. Faytine has been a friend of Rosemary's long before I knew4:55 her. She was she was still a teenager when you first met her. Right? Yes.5:00 Amazing intercessor star.5:04 Grisace is her last name, but when she goes everybody knows her by Fatine. It's such a unique name. She's just simply, certain people are so famous. They can go by their first name, and that's it. And Fatine is 1 of5:14 those. She's stepping out of another meeting that she's in right now. She's been speaking. So we're not gonna be able to hold her for very long. But, Faytine, thank you for carving out some time and for the unbelievable5:25 leadership you give across Canada. It's stunning. She's a strategist. She's brilliant. She's a broadcaster. She's got television. The whole works. Writing books, everything. Faytine, walk5:37 us through what transpired this last Wednesday.5:41 Yeah. Well, thank you so much for having me on, and I see that you have the honorable stock all day on as well. I need to tip my hat to him here. He is 1 of the leading voices and men of courage in our nation when it5:53 comes to this intersection. So, basically, what has happened here is a bill was put forward by the Liberals, and then an amendment was added to it by 1 of the parties called the bloc,6:05 which would remove protection for sincerely held faith beliefs. And, members of parliament have actually gone on record in this debate process saying that they6:17 believe that if pastors or public individuals, read certain Bible book or verses from certain Bible books, namely Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Romans, and there were6:29 even some other Old Testament stories that were named on the floor of the House of Commons that, these individuals, these pastors, should be prosecuted for hate speech,6:40 possibly being put into prison up to 2 years. And so we have been working so hard on this front. I am so proud of the remnant. I'm so proud of our network. Over 1400006:52 phone calls have been made by Canadians on this. Actually, that's a low number. That's just the number, Jim, that, and Rosemary, so good to see you. You're always so stunning. You know, but that that's a7:04 lowball number. Those are just the numbers that have been registered through our site. It's very possible that a quarter of 1000000 or 200000 phone calls have been made. I've had members of Parliament say they have never7:15 received as many phone calls on an issue as they have about this 1. In addition to that, we launched a c 9 declaration for pastors, churches, ministries, and Christian businesses to sign on.7:27 Out of the 900, around 900 organizations that have signed on over 1000000 Canadians represented. That's bigger than the population of many provinces in Canada. And so there has been an7:39 absolute outcry. There really has. You cannot say that the church has been asleep on this 1. Not all the church has been awake, but there's been a strong remnant and a strong mobilization7:51 that that is worthy of a hat tip. But the liberals and the block have dug in. They've got the majority position. When they band together, they can push anything through that they want to. And they8:03 dug in. They kept the amendment on to remove protection for sincerely held faith beliefs. And, and they basically ran this through. They they stopped debate at the justice8:15 committee level. They stopped debate on the floor of the House of Commons. They they ran rough shot over these hundred and 40000 phone calls, and they've just basically bullied this bill into8:27 the senate. Now the senate was stacked by Justin Trudeau. It's very liberally minded. But the good news is is that there are some senators, at least 1 that we know of, possibly, 3 or 4 that are8:38 very concerned with how this has been rushed through. And so they might be willing to work with us. So we're gonna keep the pressure on. But I feel that tonight you'll be interested to see what Stockwell8:50 says. But I I feel that the pastors in Canada are coming to a true Bonhoeffer moment where they are gonna have an opportunity to to stand and be counted no matter what the cost.9:03 It's coming to that. The people are are are being a voice. The government is digging in regardless. I do wanna say this, though. Some people might look at Canada and say Canada's lost. Canada's gone woke. Canada's gone9:14 liberal. That's not true. That's not what the math says. As a matter of fact, in the last election, prime minister Carney only missed getting a majority by 57 votes. This is out of a9:26 pun nation that's almost 50000000. He missed getting a majority by 57 votes across 3 ridings, and that is how tight the our elections have been. Canada9:38 is not overwhelmingly liberal. Canada is not overwhelmingly conservative. Canada literally is in a 50 50 balance on this. The challenge is is how the seat construct goes9:50 in different, provinces heavily weights things with, the Liberals even though the Conservatives had the popular vote. The Conservatives got the most votes by far in the last election. And by the way, I do10:02 wanna say this. I forgot to say this off the top. I'm I'm just speaking as as a citizen myself. I'm not speaking on behalf of our charity or any of our organizations. I'm just giving you my breakdown here. And so what10:14 that means is in the next federal election, there really only needs to be a shift in about 20 to 25 ridings. And even in these ridings, we're not talking hundreds of thousands of10:25 people voting differently. We're talking hundreds of people voting differently. I lost, in my election. I lost by 224 votes. Statistically, that's 1 more volunteer. I10:37 like to remind people I didn't lose by 224 votes. I lost by 1 volunteer. And so it looks like the Liberals are saying my way or the highway. They are ramming things through.10:49 They are bullying, the processes on the floor of the House of Commons. So we're gonna continue to be a voice. We're gonna continue to pray. I believe the pastors have a real opportunity here to take a11:01 stand collectively. But in addition to that, you know, if we could ask for prayer, like the next election, we're believing that there's gonna be such an awakening through this that Canadians all across11:13 the board who have not been politically engaged in the past. I had such a hard time getting volunteers for my campaign. It was like pulling teeth, you know. But there are many people that are concerned that11:25 and what we're saying is, hey. Now it is a time to convert that concern not into commentary, but into mobilization. And so this is not a time just to get on Facebook and and call out the11:37 Liberal Party. This is a time to say, okay. Where are the opportunities to ensure that the next time around, the majority of Canadians are truly represented and that our11:48 leaders cannot just simply ignore Canadians. And so that's kind of where my heart and head is at right now. It was incredible to have you and Rosemary there in the House of Commons, with12:00 myself, and I think there was about a dozen of us in the House of Commons. And you were right there with us. And so I I just wanna say thank you for your prayers. Thank you for your concern. Thank you for discerning the12:11 the urgency of this moment. Jim and Rosemary and Judy was there as well. We just really appreciate your engagements, in our fight. We're trying to keep pastors out of prison. You know, so here12:23 here we are.12:24 This was happening too, the day before our good friend member of the parliament in Finland, Paivi Ryerson, was found guilty by the Supreme Court after 7 years, drugged12:36 through, 3 trials in that country. 2 at times, she was acquitted. And then finally on the third time, the way they got her, they, said, okay. Your text the the12:48 texting you did or the tweeting you did on, on social media, that was okay. But the fact you wrote a book back in 22009, perhaps it was, and you kept that book13:00 going during this time. Therefore, we're going to fine you. I don't think they charged her with prison time yet, but they've they could fine her, the equivalent of about 2000 dollars, US dollars. So13:11 these these 2 events took place the same day. The vote in the House of Commons in the parliament was 1 86 to 1 37. So that's why Faytine said, if they can hold on to13:23 the vote the votes they have and flip 25 seats, then you see it would be a a dual it's an uphill climb, but still important. And when Faytine uses the word writings as a new word to13:35 us, that means district. She's referring to various districts. So what that that that particular term means. Fatin, I know you've gotta get back into a church and you've been speaking, and you had to get back in to13:45 speak. You jumped in your car to take this, but do you have time for us to play the video? Yes. And then and then you have some slides. Do you wanna do the slides after the13:57 video?13:58 Well, I'll follow your lead on this, but I I am so glad that you're gonna show this video because in times like this, there can be a temptation to say things like, well, nobody's standing up or nobody's being a voice.14:08 And that is absolutely not true. There are there is a remnants that is rising. And in this video, you're going to see representations from that remnants that are right there on the floor of the House of Commons. That's a14:20 really powerful video. Thank you for showing it.14:22 Do you have the time? It's it's we're gonna play 4 minutes of the 7 minutes. Do you have time for us to play that?14:28 Yeah. Absolutely. Go ahead. Yeah.14:30 Okay. I've already14:31 spoken I've already spoken in the other meeting.14:33 So Oh 0, okay. Okay.14:35 But, folks, this is very moving. I I'm it really meant a lot for Rosemary and me to be there. In fact, we weren't sure why we were I mean, I wasn't sure why we're going to Canada. I every place place I go, I said,14:47 lord, the lord, what do you have in mind? And I I cannot tell you how thankful I was there for this moment to see what Canada's been hit with and how we've gotta pray and work and help and support each other, and it14:57 helps get them through this this season. I want Americans we're all Americans, but people in the United States to feel committed to the rest of North America and help lift this load for the battle. Let's not give15:09 up on Canada. So what you're about to see, Alan, pull up the picture first of the parliament building. Sorry to do this to you, Alan. The parliament building's under construction for the next 10 years.15:21 So, if you can pull that picture up, I want them to understand what we're that's well, that's the temporary chamber. So that's where we were, and we were sitting over on the left side in the balcony, the left side, and15:32 go to the right side green seats, right side green seats down below down below, Alan. There you go. Right there. That's where the conservative party was sitting. So we were in the gray seats facing them, and we're15:42 watching. Now this is their temporary chamber because, the other picture, Alan, if you can pull that up right there, shows the part of the building under construction with a lot of there there's the construction cranes.15:53 So I want you to get a picture of that first, and this is a drama moment for us as we watch this unfolding concern on this vote. And then we have a a former member of the parliament, Stockwell Day, who's very16:05 respected, who's gonna have some interesting commentary, for us. So let's go and watch this. We're only gonna watch 4 minutes of a 7 minute video. And this is the way they vote. It's very different in our country.16:17 But watch the way they vote, and and someone's put some wonderful music to it. But I want you to see a number of them, what they do. They hold a bible up as a statement. A number of them did that. They're called 1 at a16:28 time. Okay. Let's watch the video right now. 4 minutes long.16:33 Mister16:47 Mister17:02 Mister17:16 Mister Moore. Mister Moore. Mister Moore.17:24 Mister Moore. Mister Moore. Mister Moore. Mister Moore. Mister Moore. Mister Moore. Mister Ross.17:26 Mister Ross. Mister Cooper. Mister Cooper.19:50 Okay. We can cut it there because then they start voting those who are absent. You saw the empty green chairs, and they have to appear facially on the screen, but then they cast their votes. And, of course, what we20:01 wanted was nay votes voting against. Now in the case of of the honorable mister Stockwell, who's on here, and, 18, they know all those people. But we got acquainted with enough of them. It's very emotional for us to20:13 watch, watch that because we were we felt very tied to them in the short experience that we had with them and what they were going through. A number of those we can name now, by name. We had the privilege of visiting20:24 with and talking to. But I wanted you to have a feel for what it was like that moment, and you saw a number of them holding up the bible. And then, you know, in the Canadian, senate in the house20:36 or, well, in their in their house of commons, you've watched enough to know that they'll holler at each other, jeer at each other. It's very robust. It's a little different than what we're used to in our chamber. And,20:46 and there was some hollering back and forth a little bit, that seemed strange to us, but very normative. But 1 of the young ones, we got acquainted with him. His name was Jonathan. And and he was young, and they20:58 were yelling him, and he started yelling back, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Romans. He started citing the very passages that they make it now illegal for a preacher to preach on. We're gonna hear from a pastor a little bit21:09 later on. Faytine, you have some slides you wanna share too. Let's go to those next if you want to. Or what what commentary do you wanna share before you go to the slides?21:19 Well, ironically, when I was, sharing there off the top, most of the content in the slides, I've already covered off. So maybe we could even download this video after, and I can help the production guys to put those21:30 slides up in the part that I already shared. I don't know that I have anything to add right now other than please continue to pray for us. And, this isn't over. It's still gotta go through21:42 the senate. We've still got runway in front of us, though it would have been wonderful if it had been defeated on the floor of the House of Commons. We have other bills that we are concerned about that we want to be21:53 putting our focus into. Namely, there's a cybersecurity bill that could give the government power to cut phone lines, phones, and, you know, Internet connections and and, do deep22:04 dives into the data of everyday Canadians without a warrant. So there are other bills that we would like to get our eyes on, but, we will keep our focus on this 1 for until it's over, because this 122:16 is about the word of God. And it's it's such a defining moment in our nation. I'm sure Stockwell would agree that we've had a few of these types of pieces of legislation that have been like the22:28 opening door to what became a slippery slope down the line. Medical assistance and dying would be a good example of that. So, yeah. So we're gonna keep on this. Please be in prayer for us. And,22:40 I'm gonna have to hop off here because of my family commitments. But But thank you so much for, for this. I'm sorry if my connection wasn't great. And, God bless you and God bless Canada.22:52 That's all I have to say.22:53 Thank you, Faye team. Thank you so much for being with us. We'll let you get back to the church activity you're a part of right now. Thank you so much. We we pray the blessing of the Lord and protection upon you, wisdom23:04 and strategy of the Holy Spirit as you go forward.23:08 Thank you. God bless.23:09 Bless you. Now, folks, they have the same challenge in Canada than we do in America. We have some members of the more conservative party. In our case, it's called Republican.
