DANIEL WHYTE III, PRESIDENT OF GOSPEL LIGHT SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL, HAS BEEN WARNING OF A COMING SECOND AMERICAN CIVIL WAR FOR YEARS NOW. BELOW IS WHAT WHYTE HAS SAID ABOUT THE COMING SECOND AMERICAN CIVIL WAR AND WHY HE HAS CALLED THE BLACK AND WHITE CHURCH TO A 60-DAY DANIEL FAST LEADING UP TO THE 2024 ELECTION, AND NOW IS IN THE 33RD DAY OF A 100-DAY DANIEL FAST THIS YEAR. THE MAIN REASON HE HAS CALLED BOTH FASTS IS TO AVOID A SECOND AMERICAN CIVIL WAR, WHICH IS NOT GOING TO HELP ANYBODY:
THE GOSPEL LIGHT SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL 20TH ANNUAL DANIEL FAST COMMENCES AT 11:59 P.M. JANUARY 10TH, 2025. DANIEL WHYTE III SAYS THIS TIME INSTEAD OF CALLING FOR A 40-DAY DANIEL FAST, HE IS CALLING FOR AN UNPRECEDENTED “GET-ON-GET-OFF/REVOLVING/SHIFT STYLE” 100-DAY DANIEL FAST FOR MEN TO BE MEN AGAIN AND TAKE THEIR GOD-GIVEN LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THE FAMILY AND THE CHURCH, TO CAST THE SATANIC SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL OUT OF GOD’S CHURCH, TO CRUSH THE SATANIC JUDAS STRANGLE HOLD THAT POLITICS HAS ON PASTORS AND CHURCHES, TO AVOID A SECOND AMERICAN CIVIL WAR, AND TO COPE WITH AND ENDURE THE PREDICTED WORLD WAR III, WHICH IS UPON US THAT THE SINS OF THE CHURCH HAS CAUSED. FINALLY, THIS UNPRECEDENTED 100-DAY DANIEL FAST IS ABOUT PASTORS AND CHURCHES FOCUSING ON WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO IN THE FIRST 100 DAYS OF THIS NEW YEAR INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON WHAT THE NEW PRESIDENT IS GOING TO DO IN THE FIRST 100 DAYS OF HIS TERM. THIS UNUSUAL 100-DAY DANIEL FAST HAS A DIVERSIONARY INTENT TO HELP PASTORS AND CHURCHES GET THEIR MINDS OFF UNFRUITFUL POLITICS AND BACK ON GOD, JESUS CHRIST, AND OBEYING OF THE GREAT COMMANDMENT AND THE GREAT COMMISSION.
- LET’S BE CLEAR: WE DO NOT WANT ANYBODY TO DO THE DANIEL FAST PAST 40 DAYS.
- DANIEL WHYTE III WILL ONLY FAST FOR 40 DAYS. HIS WIFE WILL ONLY FAST ONE DAY A WEEK.
- THIS 100-DAY DANIEL FAST IS A GET-ON-GET-OFF FAST WHEN YOU ARE LED OF THE LORD; IT IS A REVOLVING FAST; IT IS A SHIFT FAST. SOME WILL TAKE THE FIRST 40-DAY SHIFT. SOME WILL TAKE THE SECOND 40-DAY SHIFT. SOME WILL TAKE THE LAST 20-DAY SHIFT.
- PEOPLE CAN GET IN WHERE THEY FIT IN AS THE LORD LEADS THEM.
- WHYTE IS CALLING ON ALL YOUNG PASTORS AGE 40 AND YOUNGER, WHO HAVE NEVER FASTED FOR 40 DAYS TO DO SO.
- WHYTE IS CALLING ON ALL YOUNG PASTORS AGE 40 AND YOUNGER, WHO HAVE ALREADY FASTED FOR 40 DAYS TO JOIN US IN THE DANIEL FAST FOR HOWEVER LONG THEY ARE LED TO FAST.
- ON THIS 100-DAY FAST, PEOPLE WILL FAST BASED ON HOW THE LORD LEADS THEM. FOR EXAMPLE, SOME PEOPLE WILL FAST FOR 1 DAY, 3 DAYS, 7 DAYS, 10 DAYS, 12 DAYS, 14 DAYS, 21 DAYS, 30 DAYS, 40 DAYS. WHYTE DISCOURAGES PEOPLE FROM GOING ON A FAST LONGER THAN 40 DAYS. DO AS THE LORD LEADS YOU, AND LISTEN TO THE BODY GOD GAVE YOU.
DANIEL WHYTE III, PRESIDENT OF GOSPEL LIGHT SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL AND EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF BLACKCHRISTIANNEWS.COM, CALLS ON AL SHARPTON AND FRANKLIN GRAHAM, FREDDIE HAYNES AND ROBERT JEFFRESS, AND OTHER PASTORS TO JOIN US IN FASTING AND PRAYING FOR THE CHURCH, THE COUNTRY, AND THE WORLD, TO REPENT OF FOLLOWING THE “BAALZEBUB” OF POLITICS AND NOT THE GOD OF HEAVEN TO SAVE AMERICA. WHYTE CALLS FOR A 100-DAY DANIEL FAST AND TIME OF PRAYER AND REPENTANCE TO BREAK THE JUDAS STRANGLE HOLD THAT POLITICS HAS ON THE CHURCH AND TO AVOID A SECOND U.S. CIVIL WAR STARTING 11:59 P.M. FRIDAY, JANUARY 10TH, 2025 THRU 11:59 P.M. SUNDAY, APRIL 20TH, 2025.
DANIEL WHYTE III, PRESIDENT OF GOSPEL LIGHT SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL, CALLS ON BORN-AGAIN-SAVED CHRISTIANS, WHETHER THEY LABEL THEMSELVES CONSERVATIVE EVANGELICAL OR LIBERAL PROTESTANT TO CONFESS AND REPENT OF THEIR SIN OF FORSAKING THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB, AND JESUS AND TRUSTING IN THE “BAALZEBUB” OF POLITICS TO SAVE AMERICA, TO FAST AND PRAY FOR 100 DAYS UTILIZING THE DANIEL FAST FROM 11:59 P.M. FRIDAY, JANUARY 10TH, 2025 THRU 11:59 P.M. SUNDAY, APRIL 20TH, 2025.
MOST PEOPLE WILL NOT FAST FOR THE ENTIRE 100 DAYS, AND MANY SHOULD NOT FAST FOR THE ENTIRE 100 DAYS. THIS IS A GET-ON-GET-OFF FAST AS THE LORD LEADS YOU AND AS YOU WILL. FOR EXAMPLE, DANIEL WHYTE III’S WIFE, WHO IS STILL RECOVERING FROM HER ILLNESS WILL ONLY FAST A FEW DAYS EACH MONTH. OTHERS WHO ARE FACING HEALTH ISSUES OUGHT TO DO LIKEWISE.
THIS FAST IS TO HELP PEOPLE WHO TRULY BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST TO HUMBLE THEMSELVES, PRAY, SEEK GOD’S FACE, CONFESS THEIR SINS, TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, REPENT OF THEIR SINS, AND GET BACK TO THEIR FIRST LOVE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND TO STOP BEING A JUDAS-JEZEBEL-LAODICEAN CHURCH, WHICH BOTH SIDES ARE GUILTY OF.
THIS FAST ALSO CALLS FOR THESE SAME PEOPLE TO PRAY TO GOD TO KEEP THIS COUNTRY FROM GOING INTO ITS SECOND CIVIL WAR, THIS TIME NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE OF BLACK AND WHITE RACE ISSUES, BUT THIS TIME BECAUSE OF LIGHT AND DARK SIN ISSUES.
THE SECOND CIVIL WAR WOULD BE BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO ARE FOR THE TRADITIONAL FAMILY AND THOSE WHO WANT TO SEE THE TRADITIONAL FAMILY DESTROYED. THE PROBLEM IS IF THE CONSERVATIVE EVANGELICAL CHURCH AND THE LIBERAL PROTESTANT CHURCH, WHO BOTH CLAIM TO BE BELIEVERS IN JESUS CHRIST HAD OBEYED THE GREAT COMMANDMENT OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE GREAT COMMISSION OF JESUS CHRIST AS WELL AS THE GREAT PARABLE OF JESUS CHRIST TO THIS END THAT “MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY AND NOT TO FAINT” IN THIS LAND CALLED AMERICA, WE WOULD NOT BE IN THIS SITUATION IN THE FIRST PLACE. BOTH GROUPS HAVE BECOME JUDAS-JEZEBEL-LAODICEAN CHURCHES WITH THEIR OWN POLITICAL AGENDA AND NOT THE LORD’S AGENDA BECAUSE THE LORD SAID “NO MAN THAT WARRETH ENTANGLETH HIMSELF WITH THE AFFAIRS OF THIS LIFE; THAT HE MAY PLEASE HIM WHO HATH CHOSEN HIM TO BE A SOLDIER” BUT TO GIVE THEMSELVES CONTINUALLY TO PRAYER AND THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD, WHICH BOTH SIDES KNOW IF THEY WOULD HAVE DONE THAT HEARTS WOULD HAVE BEEN WON OVER BECAUSE AMERICA IS A DEMOCRACY AND MOST PEOPLE WOULD BELIEVE THE SAME WAY ABOUT MORAL ISSUES BECAUSE OF THE INFLUENCE OF CHRIST IN THEIR HEARTS. THE AMERICAN EXPERIMENT, WHICH IS A GORGEOUS GIFT FROM GOD, DID NOT FAIL THE CHURCH AND AMERICA; THE CHURCH AND AMERICA FAILED THE AMERICAN EXPERIMENT. FOR ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE SAID IT BEST:
“I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers—and it was not there. . . . . in her fertile fields and boundless forests—and it was not there. . . . .in her rich mines and her vast world commerce—and it was not there. . . . in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution—and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.”
-THE SECOND CIVIL WAR WOULD BE BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST THE ABOMINATION OF SODOMY/HOMOSEXUALITY AND THOSE WHO ARE FOR THE ABOMINATION OF SODOMY/HOMOSEXUALITY;
-THE SECOND CIVIL WAR WOULD BE BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST MEN COMPETING AGAINST WOMEN IN SPORTS AND THOSE WHO ARE FOR MEN COMPETING AGAINST WOMEN IN SPORTS;
-THE SECOND CIVIL WAR WOULD BE BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST “TRANSGENDERISM” AND THOSE WHO ARE FOR “TRANSGENDERISM”;
-THE SECOND CIVIL WAR WOULD BE BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST THE MURDERING OF BABIES INSIDE THE WOMB (ABORTION) AND THOSE WHO ARE FOR THE MURDERING OF BABIES INSIDE THE WOMB AND EVEN OUTSIDE THE WOMB (ABORTION) ;
-THE SECOND CIVIL WAR WOULD BE BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST ADULTS HAVING SEX WITH CHILDREN AND THOSE WHO ARE FOR ADULTS HAVING SEX WITH CHILDREN;
-THE SECOND CIVIL WAR WOULD BE BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST DRAG QUEENS IN LIBRARIES READING TO CHILDREN AND AT OTHER EVENTS WITH CHILDREN AND THOSE WHO ARE FOR DRAG QUEENS IN LIBRARIES READING TO CHILDREN AND AT OTHER EVENTS WITH CHILDREN — THUS BRAIN-WASHING, SPIRIT-WASHING, AND SOUL-WASHING THE CHILDREN;
-THE SECOND CIVIL WAR WOULD BE BETWEEN CHURCHES THAT ARE AGAINST THE ABOMINATION OF SODOMY/HOMOSEXUALITY AND CHURCHES AFFIRMING SODOMY/HOMOSEXUALITY;
-THE SECOND CIVIL WAR WOULD BE BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST DIVERSITY, EQUALITY, AND INCLUSION (DEI) AND THOSE WHO ARE FOR DIVERSITY, EQUALITY, AND INCLUSION (DEI);
-THE SECOND CIVIL WAR WOULD BE BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO LOVE AND SUPPORT ISRAEL AND THOSE WHO HATE AND DO NOT SUPPORT ISRAEL.
THIS FAST IS ALSO CALLING FOR PASTORS AND PASTORS’ WIVES TO REPENT OF THEIR SINS, SUCH AS ADULTERY, FORNICATION, DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE, HOMOSEXUALITY, SWINGING, ASHLEY MADISON, CHILD MOLESTATION AND CHILD RAPE;
-PASTORS AND PASTORS’ WIVES NEED TO STOP HAVING SEX WITH BISEXUAL PERSONS IN THEIR MARRIAGE BEDS;
-PASTORS NEED TO STOP HAVING “SIDE PIECES” OR CHURCH CONCUBINES;
-PASTORS NEED TO STOP PAYING PROSTITUTES;
-PASTORS’ WIVES NEED TO STOP HAVING BOYFRIENDS IN THE CHURCH AND CUCKOLD PASTOR HUSBANDS NEED TO STOP ALLOWING IT
REMEMBER THE WORDS OF ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE:
“I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers—and it was not there. . . . . in her fertile fields and boundless forests—and it was not there. . . . .in her rich mines and her vast world commerce—and it was not there. . . . in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution—and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.”
“IF MY PEOPLE, WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY, AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN, AND WILL HEAL THEIR LAND” (2 CHRONICLES 7:14)
A Baptist church in Tennessee has taken down its website amid calls for its pastor to step down after a video clip surfaced in which he stated that “sometimes violence is necessary” when speaking about the Trump administration’s efforts toward fiscal transparency.
Dr. Steve Caudle, senior reverend at Greater Second Missionary Baptist Church (GSMBC) in Chattanooga, delivered a sermon on Sunday in which he appeared to threaten the “possibility of violence” over the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its ongoing investigations into misappropriation of taxpayer funding.
In a message titled “The Violent Kingdom,” Caudle warned about the DOGE initiative as a threat to “steal your personal information and your Social Security check” and appeared to link the effort to “the devil.”
“I pray that the peace of God will win out and overcome the madness that is attempting to take over this nation. And I’ll say to you, beloved, no one likes violence, but sometimes violence is necessary,” said Caudle. “When Elon Musk forces his way into the United States Treasury and threatens to steal your personal information and your Social Security check, there is the possibility of violence.
“Sometimes the devil will act so ugly that you have no other choice but to get violent and fight,” he added.
When Caudle anticipated the objection of some of his congregation to the threat of violence as not a very “Christian thing to do,” he pointed to what he argued was a biblical mandate from Jesus Himself.
“Why not talk this way? Because Jesus did,” he said, citing Matthew 11:12: “From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it.”
“The kingdom of God is a war zone,” Caudle continued. “It is a battlefield. … It is a place where the forces of Hell clash against the angelic host of Heaven in a violent spiritual warfare, and we are included in the battle. The violence of this warfare affects every part of our existence; it affects our bodies, it affects our minds, it affects our peace.
“The stress, the chaos and the pressure produced by the violence can be so intense we find ourselves on the verge of collapse, but although we feel that sometimes we are about to break, our charge is to hold fast because Jesus is our battle axe and he will fight our battles.”
The clip quickly went viral on social media, where Musk himself shared a video of Caudle’s sermon with the caption, “They are afraid that their fraud will be discovered.” Musk suggested that Caudle’s sermon indicated “he is trying to hide MASSIVE fraud.”
Weston Wamp, mayor of Hamilton County, where Caudle’s church is located, slammed the pastor’s “hateful rhetoric” and called for his “immediate resignation” from the county’s planning commission. He accused the pastor of using the pulpit to “justify violence” against the Trump administration and Musk.
As of Tuesday morning, the GSMBC website was offline and displayed an “under construction” message.
Neither Caudle nor the church has responded to a request for comment Monday from CP.
Caudle later told ABC affiliate WTVC Chattanooga he does not plan to apologize for his sermon and denied calling for violence against Musk.
“I never called for violence against Elon Musk, and he knows that it’s propaganda,” he told the outlet. “They take things, they twist it, they only play portions of a particular sermon in order to push their propaganda.”
He said the sermon was strictly about the passage in the New Testament, not contemporary politics.
“I was talking about the passage out of the Gospel of Matthew. The 11th chapter, the words of Jesus, not my words. When he said, ‘Since the time of John the Baptist, the kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force.’”

GOSPEL LIGHT MINUTE X #447 WITH DANIEL WHYTE III
The question is not “Have you joined a church?” or “Are you trying to do your best?” or “Do you have religion?” but “Are you twice-born?” Jesus Christ said in John 3:3, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God”.
We enter the physical world by birth. Spiritual life likewise is entered with a birth. We become members of a human family by birth; we become members of the family of God by birth, by being “born again.” There is no other way to get into the human family except by birth, and there is no other way to get into God’s family except by the new birth. Neither education, nor cultivation, nor reformation, nor “turning over a new leaf,” will accomplish this. What is needed is not a new “leaf” but a new “life”! “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7).
By physical birth we become partakers of human nature; by being born again we become “partakers of the divine nature”. A Christian is the product of a divine “begetting”. The second birth is not an improvement of the old nature; it is the imparting of an entirely new nature. The old nature is hopelessly corrupt and incapable of ever being made fit for His presence. The new birth requires a creative act of the Holy Spirit. “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature”.
Simply “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ”. The Bible says in 1 John 5:1, “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God”. The Bible states in John 1:12,13, “As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God”.
You are born again, you become a Christian by trusting a Person—receiving a Person. The very moment you do this, the Lord Jesus Christ comes in and life begins!
To “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ” means more than simply believing the historic facts concerning Him. Intellectual belief about Christ is not sufficient. The belief that brings salvation must be “with the heart,” that is, with the whole being. This belief also includes repentance: “Repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ”. The Bible states in Acts 17:30, “God … now commandeth all men every where to repent”.
This is an important question. We know that we are born again by the testimony of God’s Word. God says in John 5:24, “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life”. Have you believed on the Lord Jesus Christ as explained by God’s Word? If so, then you are saved, you are “born again,” you have “passed from death unto life.” God says so! Take God at His Word, and go on your way rejoicing!
You may “belong to a church,” you may be “trying to do the best you can,” you may be “striving to live right.” Your outward life may be the model of moral correctness, and you may be looked up to, honored, revered, and respected. Yet, if you have not been “born again” you are just as lost as if you had never heard of Christ. Yes, you may teach in the Sunday school, read the Bible, sing, shout, “feel happy,” and all the rest—but if you have never been “born again” you are still in your sins and a stranger to the Lord Jesus Christ!.
