>I host a weekly broadcast called The Global Freedom Report. It is a show about truth, justice and freedom. I have created the show as an educational vessel that teaches people
how to live free from government control. I include guests, take callers, and provide actual methods designed to show my audience how to craft their lives to maximize their privacy and minimize their exposure to the government.
The show is the #1 weekend show in the Los Angeles commercial broadcast market, which is the #2 market in the country. Wherever I have aired this show it has been #1 in its market.
I do not tell you this in order to show off in any way. There are plenty of other well-received shows that discuss fundamental rights and promote personal freedom. In today’s social media dominated world, it is easy to find people who provide useful and interesting presentations to attract large audiences.
However, my show is truly unique. Not only is it well-received by its constantly growing audience, but it attracts people from all walks of life; liberals, conservatives, Republicans, Democrats, socialists, Christians, Jews, Muslims, and an endless stream of differing political
ideologies seeking a variety of ways to live. That is what makes my show unique.
I find the same thing happens when I am a guest on other shows or when I speak at special events.
The question is, why does my show… why do my companies… why do my presentations attract such a diverse assortment of people, from so many different religions, varied political positions, and behavioral attitudes about life… people often holding positions diametrically opposed to each other? What makes me so special? Why do I draw people to me from all walks of life?
I believe there is a real answer to this question. It has nothing to do with the content I offer. It is not relevant to my political positions. I am successful in everything I do for two reasons.
The first is that I seek Truth (with a capital T); not your truth or my truth, which frequently are in conflict. If I only promoted Republicans, then Democrats would not be part of my audience. If I only promoted whites, then blacks would often not relate to what I say and do. If I stand for men’s rights then women would very likely be offended by much of what I discuss.
However, Truth embodies all truths; it is Universal Truth, God’s Truth, the Truth that really does set you free; and because I seek Truth, all people who resonate to Universal Truth - and that means everybody - are drawn to the work I do.
The second thing that I do differently than almost anybody else is I am authentic. I am honest. I mean what I say. I am willing to admit when I am wrong. I speak about basic principles to which everyone relates.
People crave genuineness and authenticity. They are tired of constant efforts to manipulate them into taking a position, voting for a particular political Party, or buy some product or service.
Once you determine why certain people seek to rule the world - i.e. that they want to play God - then the playing field, the arena of battle, becomes clearer and the motivations of the players are more comprehensible than ever.
My experience is that people want to make their own determinations and decide how best to live their own lives, and there are very few individuals who are not invested in their own egos, who are always seeking to be correct, and who seldom act with humility and grace.
That is what I do. That is what I am. That is what makes me different than everybody else, and that is why I am so successful in everything I do.
In the Christian Gospels, Yahushua (Jesus) regularly performs miracles and people are amazed. However, He clearly tells those same people that “everything I have done you can also do… and so much more!”
I offer you - my reader - the same message. I have certain skills that allow me to bring you messages of freedom and independence. However, you also have certain skills and are capable of performing miracles each day. You only need to be authentic. Be real. Be genuine; and most of all, have faith in your abilities.
In the Gospel of Matthew, Yahushua is walking on water and Peter asks him to show him how to do the same thing. Peter then starts walking on water until he realizes what he is doing, at which point and he sinks and cries out for help. Yahushua asks him why he has so little faith.
I ask you the same question. Whenever you doubt yourself, you are showing a lack of faith. What if having faith is the key to performing miracles? What if the only reason you claim to be unable to do wonders and change the world into a paradise is because you do not genuinely believe in yourself?
I do not have to be liked by everybody. I do not take action or make statements because I want approval. I may well do things that turn out to be unwise or incorrect. If that happens then I own up to my errors and do whatever I can to correct them.
Most people in this world live under a value system in which money, position and power are most important. When money, position and power are more important than anything else, then you will do anything for money, position and power. You will lie, cheat, steal and murder to achieve your goals, because the values that tell you lying, cheating, stealing and murder are wrong hold less value to you than making money, improving your position and amassing power over others.
If you change your value system… if you value truth, justice, freedom and integrity more than you value money, position and power, then even though money, position and power may be important to you, you will not lie, cheat, steal or murder in order to obtain them.
Once you change your value system, be authentic. Be the individual you are in all things. If you value honesty, then be honest; if you value truth, then tell the truth; if you value integrity, then keep your word. If you make a mistake or inadvertently harm someone, then admit your error, apologize for your actions, and make amends to those you have wronged.
At any given moment, everyone is showing by actions his or her character. You only need to pay attention, and each individual will tell you all you need to know about him or her.
Be real and genuine; be authentic. Show the world who you really are. When you do that you will always find an audience that supports and honors you. Not everyone will like you or agree with you, but they will all respect you.
Authenticity provides you with the ability to do wonders, perform miracles, and change the world. After all, each of you is a child of your Creator, Who is the Supreme Sovereign of the universe. That means you are each literally a member of the Royal Family. You are king or queen of your life; supreme ruler of your existence. That means your actions do make a difference. You can do all that He did and so much more!
Now you only need to have faith in your abilities - you can move mountains, end hunger, and create peace on earth. All you need to do is have faith in yourself.
Faith is the language of heaven. Authenticity is how you communicate your character. Together they represent the formula for peace, joy and happiness. Together they are how you create paradise on earth.
I am very successful in my business dealings and with the messages I broadcast. You can do everything I am doing and so much more.
Be authentic. Have faith. Change the world.
