Holy Ghost Warnings 1

Pick your bibles up, wave them around, make Jesus glad, the devil mad.

Let's say this together say Heavenly Father, I'm here on purpose tonight.

I'm a Sunday night fanatic.

I'm a fanatic for the Word and for the Spirit.

I have a willing heart, I have an alert mind and I wanna be fed the Word so that my faith grows and my spirit keeps on developing.

In Jesus' name, amen.

You just never graduate.

You just keep on.

Keep on going from faith to faith and glory to glory, strength to strength.

Let's look at Acts, chapter 20 tonight, acts 20.

Acts 20 · chapter mention

We'll start reading verse 17.

And from Meletus, he sent to Ephesus and called the elders of the church.

Now, the elders, you know, those are ordained ministers, those are.

They call them elders, but they're all in the 5-O ministry and some of these are the original.

Remember the 12 disciples he saw at the beginning of the church at Ephesus?

You know, have you received the Holy Ghost?

Since you believed We'd never heard there was a Holy Ghost.

And they got saved and they got baptized.

So some of these elders are those original ones.

And he said he called the elders of the church and when they were come to him he said unto them.

You know from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons, see, it refers back to what I just got through saying.

Now, some of these elders were right there the very first day he hit Ephesus, serving the Lord with all humility of mind, with many tears and temptations which befell me by the langen weight of the Jews, and how I kept back nothing that was profitable under you, but have showed you and have taught you publicly and from house to house, testifying both of the Jews and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

And now, behold, I go, bound in the spirit, under Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there, save that the Holy Ghost witnesses.

The NIV says warneth.

The Holy Ghost warns that in every city, saying that bonds and affliction abide me or wait for me.

But none of these things move me.

Neither count on my life, dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

And now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

And so we see here that the Holy Ghost warned Paul that bonds and afflictions were waiting for him.

So tonight I just wanted to teach you a message entitled Holy Ghost warnings.

The Holy Ghost loves to warn and warnings prepare us for what's ahead.

When you heed the warning and acknowledge it, then grace is released, god's grace is released to cover you.

We don't ever have to be afraid.

You know, the Holy Ghost doesn't warn you to make you afraid.

The Holy Ghost warns you to inform you of something that you need to start praying against or praying for.

See, in Paul's case, he already knew what was waiting on him.

Remember, back when he got saved?

You know, he was on the road to Damascus and then Anna and I, you know, came to lay hands on him, for he had received you.

So he was blinded by the glory of Jesus when he saw Jesus on the road there and the Lord appeared to Anna and I and he said I will show Paul what great things he must suffer from.

I name's sake, I just think about the shoulders of the apostles that we stand on today.

I mean, we suffer like somebody treats us rudely when we go out to eat or somebody steals our parking place at the mall or something you know.

But and I know that there are legitimate sufferings around the world.

Places, especially in the Middle East, christians in the Middle East are suffering.

You don't hear about that.

All you hear about is Ukraine, ukraine, ukraine.

And it's not that I don't have mercy on the Ukraine, but anyway, there's bigger, there's places that are worse.

I just think about Paul having suffered what he suffered willingly, and yet the Holy Ghost didn't want him going, being blind.

Remember, he was about to sail on the ship.

He's a prisoner, he's been arrested and they're gonna put him on the ship and they're fixing to set sail.

And he said he went up to the centurion and the owner of the ship.

He said sirs, I perceive that this voyage is gonna be with much hurt, both of the lading of the ship and of our lives.

And so he urged them not to sail at that time.

And they didn't pay any attention to him.

Well, what happened?

Well, he did the warning and that wasn't even like a visitation, it wasn't even like an angel appeared to him.

Later on, when he was on the boat, an angel appeared to him.

It was at the worst part of the storm.

But this is before they ever sailed.

And all he had was a perception.

He was going by the witness of the spirit and that witness was a warning to him don't sail now.

Now's not the time to sail.

You're going right into a storm, he said.

I perceive there's gonna be a lot of hurt if we sail now.

They didn't pay any attention to him.

Grace was released and, in the height of the storm, all hope that they would be saved was taken away.

Who took it away?

The devil.

And an angel appeared, says fear not Paul, for God has given all them.

Sail with thee.

See, they were sailing with Paul.

He wasn't sailing with them.

And so what happened?

Well, because Paul heeded the warning, grace was released and they had to stick with the ship.

They were gonna cut the ropes and go overboard in the lifeboats and Paul said no, you can't do that.

The Holy Ghost told me, you gotta stay with the ship.

And so they cut the lifeboats and let them drift off, let them go out into the storm.

And they all rode that boat, that ship, 286 people on board, until it broke up right off the coast of Malta, the violence of the waves, and they all on broken pieces of the ship.

They rode, they surfed, in other words, to shore, and it was a great miracle of deliverance for all those people.

But the ship and all the cargo was lost, and so they didn't have Grace, they didn't heed the warning.

See, are you with me now Talking about Holy Ghost warnings?

And so in John 16, 13, it talks about the Holy Ghost guides us into all truth and shows us things to come.

You don't have to be a prophet, you don't have to be in the ministry to have warnings of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit sometimes will show you things ahead of time.

He'll warn you about your kids.

He'll warn you about your job, your career.

Thank you for the two oak grunts and a couple of old maize.

Can I have a better amen?

Amen, yeah, the Holy Ghost wants to inform you.

He doesn't want you to walk blind into things.

He wants to warn you of certain things that are happening, and especially right now.

We are living in dangerous times.

The Bible says Paul said in the last days, perilous times shall come.

That's the time we live in right now and we need a spirit that will warn us.

He doesn't want us walking deaf, dumb and blind into some kind of a situation.

So let's stir ourselves up to be sensitive to the Spirit of God, and not in the sense of fear.

I'm not trying to preach this from that standpoint at all.

Get my heart here.

I'm saying the Holy Ghost can preserve you and help you avoid dangerous situations, and not what he did with Paul and that group sailing on that boat here.

He's called a meeting of the elders of the church at Ephesus which, by the way, was one of the seven churches of Asia Minor that got a warning from Jesus.

John told him you know, jesus told John write a letter to the pastors of the seven churches in Asia Minor Ephesus is one of them and the message was, you know, for five out of the seven repent or else.

What do you think that was?

It was a warning.

It's not absolute that you're gonna be hurt, but Jesus, the head of the church, is warning the pastors you're on the wrong track.

Repent, turn around, quit going the way you're going or else and you know he had some pretty big elses you ever read that Revelation, chapter two and three?

I read one and I'll just quote it.

I can come close to it.

I'm gonna throw you in bed with Jezebel and you're gonna suffer the tribulation.

Yeah, I don't believe the church should go through the tribulation.

But that church, because they were doing the wrong thing.

Jesus said you ain't gonna make the rapture, you're gonna have to stay here with the antichrist.

Pastor, this is kind of making no, I'm not trying to scare you.

I'm trying to give us a little balance here that God expects the church to occupy its place and he has mercy when he gives you a warning.

That's mercy.

To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

Amen.

Everybody say thank God for Holy Ghost warnings.

So here in this church, he calls a meeting of the elders and if we keep reading, let's read here verse 26,.

You know and if we've had this meeting, you're not gonna see my face anymore Verse 26,.

Wherefore I take to you to record this day that I'm pure from the blood of all men.

I've warned you, I am warning you.

You see, if he hadn't warned those elders, then their blood and the trouble that they're gonna go into will be on his head.

Oh, pastor, that's Old Testament.

Well, it's just Bible.

I know one thing if I don't preach right, if I don't warn you, if I don't preach the whole council the word.

If I just try to stay real positive all the time, positive, positive.

Well, everything you know I'm positive, I'm a positive person, but some things in the Bible kind of saw them, and this is kind of one of them.

We're living in the days when people have departed from the faith and my job is to make sure you're not one of them.

I don't want anybody sitting under my minister to be one of them.

So he said you're not gonna see my face anymore and I'm pure from the blood of all men.

I take you to record that for verse 27,.

I have not shunned to declare unto you the whole council of God Take heed to yourselves.

These are leaders, these are ministers, these are pastors, prophets, evangelists, teachers.

Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock over the which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers.

The Holy Ghost has set them in the church.

Remember I preached on the ministry of helps, how God has set some in the church, this group of elders God had set and had anointed to lead the flock and feed it.

Are you with me now?

He said take heed to yourself and to all the flock over the which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers to feed the church of God, which he had purchased with his own blood.

Remember, I know this that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

What's their job?

Their job is to run off the wolves.

Their job is not to allow that.

So what's he doing?

He's warning them they're gonna fall down on the job.

They're not watching light.

What do you do with a shepherd that lets a bunch of wolves come in and eat the sheep?

You fire him and get somebody else.

Is what you do, right?

Also, if that wasn't bad enough, in verse 30, also, of your own selves shall minimize speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them.

You know, paul in another epistle talks about making merchandise of the sheep.

I've seen it.

I've seen ministers get money-minded, get all business-minded and trying to mix business with church and trying to recruit from the pulpit.

And it's disgusting.

Your business is teaching and preaching the word until you're flock.

It's not to sit there and try to get into business with them and sell them products from the pulpit.

Now, I'm not talking about the bookstore.

That's different.

We're not making a profit on much of that anyway.

Most of it's just a pass-through.

It's just a benefit to you.

We used to get.

You know, at Lakewood they had a real big bookstore and so they'd get all kind of people.

They just did overturn the money changers, you know all that kind of stuff.

I'm so glad for Lakewood's bookstore.

It changed my life.

I bought stuff out of there all the time.

Then Gladys said give it all away.

I don't think I have anything left that I bought.

Oh, here's a book, brother Osteen, yeah, oh, goodbye, are y'all following me?

So he said, men shall arise speaking perverse things.

In other words, they're not preaching the word anymore.

They've got a way to snare and make merchandise out of people and snatch them out for their own benefit.

Therefore, watch and remember that by the space of three years, everybody shout.

Three years, I cease not to warn everyone, night and day, with tears.

So this isn't the first warning, this is the final warning.

His final warning saying this is the last warning because you're not gonna see my face anymore.

I'm leaving.

So I just want you to know I'm free from your blood, I'm guiltless with all this stuff that's gonna happen.

I've warned you for three years with tears, night and day.

This is my last warning.

Is there any evidence that any of them came up and repented and fell on their face before Paul.

And so, oh, paul, let it not be so with me.

Oh no, I can't.

I would not want to be one of the people that you're talking about Now.

I want to make sure I'm faithful, to watch it against all the wolves, and I certainly am not gonna do anything to make merchandise of the sheep.

I wouldn't do that.

This ministry means so much to me.

I'm so glad for the impartation that I've received.

I would not dare to disappoint Jesus, the head of the church, by doing anything that you've just said.

I'm gonna fall down here.

I, oh, let it not be so.

No, there's nobody repeating it.

Nobody said anything and he left them.

And then the next thing you read about them is that Jesus writes a letter to the pastor at the church of Ephesus, said repent or else Whoo.

And we're living in those days right now.

It's the reason I'm preaching this, not to make anybody sad or fearful or anything like that, but just to let you know that we live in those days where people are the wolves have entered in and are devouring sheep, and without the wolves, it's bad enough to have these preachers that are making merchandise of the sheep.

They're collecting the tithes and offerings and all they offer in return is a live stream no personal contact, no personal visitation, no ministry oh no.

Well, we used to do funerals, but we don't do those anymore.

Well, we used to do weddings we don't do those anymore.

Well, we used to pray for people, but we just call them, leave your message on the phone machine.

We'll have somebody pray over it when we.

I mean, why do you?

How can you dare call yourself a pastor and how can you dare call that a church?

But they're doing it.

Amen.

Warn your friends, warn your relatives.

Get out of that kind of mess, don't support it.

All right.

So, because he warned them, they had a chance to avert disaster.

All they needed to do was repent, and there's no record of them repenting.

No record of them.

So what's going on right now is nothing new.

It's been going on for 2000 years.

You know they betrayed Jesus, paul was betrayed over and over again.

There's a lot of betrayal, but I still, I still believe that God is going to bring a revival into the church and we're going to.

We're going to see that last end time revival.

We're going to see millions of people swept into the kingdom of God.

I just believe that I said I believe that In Luke 22,.

Let's run over there, talk about Holy ghost warnings.

Luke 22, verse 31,.

Luke 22:31

The Lord said Simon, simon, Simon, peter, see Simon, simon's the double enunciation of God.

It means you can put this in the bank.

It's going to happen anytime.

You see the double enunciation verily, verily, simon, simon, simon, simon.

Behold, satan had desired to have you, and that he may sift you as wheat.

But I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not, and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

And Peter said unto him Lord, I'm ready to go with thee both into prison and to death.

And he said I tell thee, peter, the cock shall not crow this day before thou shalt deny me three times.

You will deny that you even know me.

What did he do?

He warned him.

He warned him of the trial.

He said I prayed for you that your faith won't collapse.

And when you're converted?

So what's that talking about?

Well, he's got to be born again after the resurrection.

I mean, that's what all the apostles got born again.

They're not born again yet, they're spiritually dead.

When thou art converted, when you born again, strengthen your brethren.

So, peter, a lot of people, like Catholics, think that that made him the Pope.

Well, he's not the Pope.

There was no Pope.

Really, the head of the church of Jerusalem was James, but yet Peter was.

He was a strength and he was a leader, no question about it.

So it was John.

So Jesus warned Peter, told him what would happen before, during and after.

And so he did do that.

He did deny the Lord.

He went out and went, barely felt so bad and I have to believe that because Jesus warned him.

Then he knew it wasn't the sin unto death.

He knew that he could somehow be forgiven and of course we know that he was forgiven.

And on the day of Pentecost, when he stood up and he said this is the beginning of that which was spoken by the prophet Joey I mean, he was the one that preached and got 3,000 Jews saved he didn't get up and say well, you know, I let the Lord down.

I mean, you know, man, I denied him.

I'd have done no listen.

That was gone.

He never talked about it again.

You know, I went to.

I was president of Full Gospel Business McComrow chapter.

I've been to so many Full Gospel businessmen meetings and people give their testimony and I think it's good to give you testimony, but a lot of times people dwell on the negative, the negative, the negative.

They want to talk all about their sin and all the horrible stuff they did before they got.

That's not the purpose of the testimony.

I mean, you just touch that.

What you want to dwell on is what happened afterwards and Peter got ahold of that.

He never talked about the time he denied Jesus.

I tell you he never talked about it.

Why?

Because it's under the blood he was forgiven.

Talk about Holy Ghost warnings.

So just quickly here.

You know it's been kind of a long day, but Glorious Way Church is an apostolic vine with a prophetic flow and that's been prophesied over us and it's borne out.

After these 28 years, and I've had some pretty outstanding examples of being warned by the Holy Ghost, I think about this time, march the 1st of 1999, just five weeks after Brother Osteen went to heaven, the Holy Ghost woke me up in an audible voice and said wake up the church.

They're sleeping their bed.

They're just like you.

They're sleeping their beds with the covers pulled over their heads and when I speak to them they think it's the devil.

That's what happened to me.

He said wake up.

I said get out of here, devil, I'm not waking up.

I'd been up till three o'clock in the morning vision with another preacher and we were talking about Brother Osteen going to heaven.

We just got back from Winter Bibles seminar.

We're talking about Brother Hagen and what he said, and it was three o'clock when I got on a Wednesday morning and then Wednesday night I'm preaching Wednesday night and I heard this voice get up and I just tried to ignore it and just go get up.

Get up, real gruff.

I said get out of here, devil, I'm not getting up, I'm preaching tonight.

I've got a rest, get up.

Then I thought what, if it's the Lord, don't look at so it Look at me.

So innocent.

But I wasn't familiar with that voice.

I'd never heard that type of a voice before and I stood in attention by the side of the bed.

I was shivering because it was cold.

That morning, march, the first.

It's been pretty cold recently, and my bedroom is the north side of the house and it's really cold in there, and so I'm shivering and I'm saying okay, lord, what's this all about?

What's peak, Lord?

Do I serve it here?

It's like.

And so I'm like what's the point?

It's like, and so nothing.

He didn't say anything.

So I crawled back in bed, pulled the covers over my head Lord, what's this all about?

What's going on?

And he said I want you to wake up the church.

They're just like you asleep in their beds.

See, this is.

I had no idea the church was in the shape it was in.

I wasn't thinking about that.

All I'm doing is pastoring the church.

I've got I can do.

I thought, like I have time to look at his pastor and what I've got, bro, those things just went to heaven.

And all the stuff that, all of that that went on.

And, friends of mine, you know who you're gonna get to be your father.

I said my father went to heaven.

I'm not looking for another father, are you kidding?

I'm a father.

I'm going to start fathering.

My father prepared me to be a father, so I'm fathering.

They looked at me like what do you think you are?

Well, you know, I just knew what I had.

I knew the gift that God had given me.

Talking about Holy Ghost warnings, I had no idea what was in store for me.

But I'm glad that I had spectacular guidance, because if it hadn't been for that visitation, in such a radical shaking of my being with that harsh.

I mean, that was like.

That was like a sergeant, you know, that was telling me what to do.

He was about to kick me out of the bed, so I hadn't gotten up, and so I tried to discover.

I wanted to discover what was it that the church was asleep on with?

The one, the one, the one main thing that they didn't know anything about was Israel, and then I started realizing how stupid they were.

About the Holy Ghost, they didn't know about the revival, they didn't know about God, the spirit of God.

They didn't.

They didn't react.

They didn't respond to the spirit of God.

The church had cooled way off when I started going out and started realizing what it was, and I realized what am I going to do?

I'm just a pastor.

Well, look, you turn the clock ahead and look what we're doing.

Now.

We're just just about to 10,000 followers on our Facebook page, filled with people that are waking up all across this country.

The footprint has gotten bigger.

The influence has gotten bigger.

We'll post something and I'll have 1600 likes in 24 hours.

I'll have 60 something shares in 24 hours.

My consultant is just.

He's never seen anything like it.

He's just amazed at how much activity, not just the numbers, but the amount of go-between and the dialogue back and forth, back and forth.

It's like people are just waiting for us to post something and not, and just, instead of just saying like they'd say, amen, amen, they actually type in there.

It's amazing.

So God has opened a door of utterance and the footprints gotten bigger.

Y'all with me now.

In December 1st of 2003, we were pouring the slabs on the lobby and the children church building.

We hadn't gotten to this slab yet and I woke up early one morning and God said there's a dearth of the word.

The word dearth is kind of an Old Testament word, means famine.

And so I said Lord, I heard you, I know you're talking to me, but I don't understand how can there be a dearth of the word?

There's more churches than ever before.

There's a church on every corner.

I know they're not all preaching the word, but they're not all dead.

He said your children don't know what you know.

He wasn't talking about my kids, he was talking about the next generation.

And I just took it literally and I had a meeting with children church at the time.

Back then I did everything.

I did all the meetings, I did all the correcting.

So I met with some.

We had some guys that were teaching.

We had three male teachers and one female teacher that were teaching and they rotated each one Sunday a month and we didn't have a curriculum.

They were just kind of doing whatever they wanted to do.

One was buying bicycles for the kids and giving one bicycle away to a group of kids, so that meant that 15 other kids were mad or sad.

One kid was really glad.

Another one was buying pizza every week.

That made the parents mad because it spoiled their kids lunch.

So there was no coordination, it was just kind of just whatever.

And I heard some kids.

I overheard some kids in the lobby saying, oh, that's my favorite teacher and I thought, well, they're aiming for being favorite.

They're not really teaching the kids the word.

And I realized that this word that I heard might be applied to that, and so I just I had a meeting.

I said we're going to have a curriculum.

We're all going to be teaching out of the same curriculum.

We're going to quit freelancing.

There's no more pizza and there's no more bicycles.

We're going to get back.

These kids need to hear the word of God on their level and they need to experience the power of the Holy Ghost.

Three of the guys left the church.

They were just there to do their own thing.

They didn't want to be told what to do.

Well, good, good riddance, I'm going to let the door hit you on the way out.

Well, we've been concerned about our children's church since the Lord visited me, and I don't want our kids to go out of here unprepared into this demonic atmosphere.

So our parents need to do their part and we need to do our part, amen.

And now look at, look at how that has manifested.

Your children don't know what you know.

I mean, can you see a bigger gap between this generation and your generation?

There's always been generation gaps, but it's amazing, and they've been brainwashed, most of them Psyops.

Black lives matter making huge inroads.

I was just watching the elite eight some of the game today, St Mary's out of New Jersey, and all those boys had black lives mattered on their jerseys.

Of course I was rooting against them.

I mean, it just breaks your heart that they have failed, victim to Marxist ideology.

This is across our nation, all across it.

Your kids don't know what you know, so what's our job?

Our job is to catch them up, amen.

So both of these messages were confirmed.

The next year in July, when I heard about or Robert's having a visitation of God, he said you know, god has visited me.

And I heard, I heard about it, I heard about his testimony and I watched it on television.

I was frustrated because the one the one that I saw was was Benny Hinn, and Benny Hinn was was not terrible, but he didn't ask enough questions and I've known enough about visitations from God where you've got to really prepare and you've got to really know what the Holy Ghost in order to draw out the visitation and have that expanded where all of it comes out.

You don't get it on.

And so Benny was too busy, he was talking himself and he was interviewing brother Roberts and it wasn't just, it wasn't like a really good interview.

I mean, the one thing that I learned to do when I was hosting on the TBN channel 14 in Houston was that I learned out of interview people.

I learned how to draw out of them things that needed to come out so that we would have something more than just a little pitter patter, a little conversay.

Now, I never did look at it that way.

I looked at it like an anointing that's going to change somebody's life.

What good is it if it's just a bunch of me, you know, like the view gag.

So anyway, I wasn't satisfied.

So then, a couple of weeks later, he was on another program and Richard, his son, and Kenneth Copeland well, neither one of them was an interviewer their preachers, and they talked and talked, and talked, and then they asked a couple of questions and I wanted to throw my shoe at the television I golly this man is.

This man has never had a corrective word for the church.

He's a general.

And God gave him a corrective word for the church.

He said my church, the church of Jesus Christ, is not ready for the second coming.

And for him to say that it was like wake up the church.

It was confirmation from a man of his stature that my visitation was legitimate.

It fired me up.

It fired me up.

It made me not want to give up what God told me to do, even though I didn't feel like I was famous enough or important enough or anything else.

I just had to do what I could do.

That's what I had to do.

I had to obey God.

So then I was actually able to go out to California and sit in his living room and interview him for an hour, and that DVD is out there on the Media Center.

If you hadn't seen it, you ought to.

I'm telling you it hasn't aged.

That was done in 2005.

It has not aged, it's, it's.

It sounds like it was done yesterday, 17 years ago, and it was confirmation of what God told me.

And then he added to it.

He said God told him that there's a wasting of power in the church.

Now, this is from the man who said God is a good God, god's gonna do something good for you today.

Remember he'd say that all the time I mean that was his money was always positive, positive, positive, and this was really negative.

This was like a rod of correction and and everybody ignored it.

Nobody got on board, nobody.

That thing went away.

It was not.

There was no specials on it, there was no people calling him to come and preach that.

There was nothing.

I called him and and he it was still on him and he talked about it, but a year later it had left him.

He didn't want to talk about anymore.

I Went back out there a year later, after, after.

So in 2000 actually was 2007 I went back out there to talk to him some more.

I had some more questions.

Hey, we'll talk about why.

Because no one had honored the visitation enough to even ask about it and they didn't pull it out of him and it left him.

Because he's an old man.

Okay, you don't retain stuff.

If people don't honor the anointing, it Disappear, disappear.

The spirit on him was grieved.

So that's.

You know, maybe, why I'm Haven't given up all these years Preaching this is it's not the way to have a big church, it's not the way to pack the seats in, because a lot of people don't want to be confronted with, with truth.

But y'all are mature and I believe you have a lot of influence in your world and let's, let's be leading in this idea that the church needs to wake up.

Amen.

Another time, talk about warnings of the Holy Ghost Number of years ago.

I didn't look up the year but God told me about the Pope.

Yeah, god cares about the Pope because there's millions of Catholics and and God cares about in any, any big, large group of people, they're leader.

So John Paul was a good Pope overall.

I mean, he had some things he still believed in Mary and all that stuff, but other than that he was a good Pope, john Paul.

And the Holy Ghost warned me, said he's gonna die soon and his replacement won't last long.

What?

His replacement won't last long and the Pope after him will be anti-semitic.

And so I said it.

I said, well, you know, John Paul's not with us much longer, he's gonna die and the next pope is not gonna last very long and after him it's gonna be one that's anti-semitic.

See, we're living in the last days, we're on the countdown for the return of the Lord.

So, sure enough, he died.

They elected a Benedict, a German, which was unusual.

All the popes are it Italian.

Here's a German who actually served in Hitler youth.

So that was controversial, but he seemed to be a good guy.

He was conservative, he was at least he wasn't, you know, he wasn't too bad and but he was the first pope in 600 years to resign being Pope 600 years.

Only one other time in history that a pope resigned.

They all die and Then they're replaced.

The Cardinals meet and they elect, and they have the smoke coming out, the smoke stack there in the Vatican and that lets you know that they've chosen the pope.

They elect one.

So elected this German guy.

He was okay.

And then after a few years, six years, I think.

Seven years, six, seven years he resigns and retires.

That was controversial.

That's weird.

And they elected Francis.

God said that guy is gonna be an anti-semitic guy.

So I looked him up, did a lot of research and I heard nothing but good oh and fact.

People that I really respected thought he would pung the moon, and I knew better because why.

I'd been warned.

Are you all with me now?

Well, why would God?

Because God does not want us to get off track and believe a lie in any way, shape or form.

So I knew when I looked it up he's a Jesuit.

Men, jesuits are bad news.

It's really like a cult.

Don't, don't send your child Jesuit school just thinking that you're gonna come out better than public school.

I Urged you don't do that.

But the Jesuits.

So he was a Jesuit and I just had to go by what the Holy Ghost told me.

I didn't know much.

So pretty soon he decided to have a visit with Israel.

He's gonna go to Israel and see Officials there.

I don't remember if Netanyahu met with him or not, but then he went immediately after that to a boss to meet him the Palestinians and on the way he stopped at the Wall that they have built, that ever since the year 2000.

When they built the wall in Jerusalem, it stopped every one of the bus bombings.

No more bombs going off in buses.

It was effective.

You know, walls do work.

And he made a big show of kneeling there and leaving a word and praying over it, basically praying against it.

I guess he'd rather Jews die from a bomb.

Somehow that infringes on the rights of these nut job Arabs.

I don't call them Palestinians, no such thing as Palestinian.

That's a lie.

Amen, are you with me?

Now, god warning us See again.

I just see it as the end time stuff.

My last one.

I'll share.

I've got others, but I'll share this last one in April of 09.

Usually I schedule myself about every quarter to go pray in Galveston, and I'll schedule it ahead of time.

This time I wasn't on my schedule, I was just impelled to go.

I woke up with such a burden.

I didn't have a reservation and I knew I had to go pray right then.

So I left that morning and I got right into the hotel, didn't make me wait and God began to speak to me about a terrorist attack in five cities.

He said America's gonna be hit by terrorism.

And this is, you know, right after Obama's been elected president, and he's very much pro-Muslim and so was Bush.

But he said there's gonna be five cities.

But he said, if you pray, if Gloria's Way Church prays, houston and Texas will be protected.

Now I already knew that Houston was one of the top cities that the terrorists want to attack because of our oil refineries and just the.

It's the fourth largest city in the nation.

It's on the coast.

It would be a relatively easy target from their standpoint.

So we have, we started praying, I announced it, we started praying against it.

And remember the shoe bomber?

You know the shoe, you know another time a guy had something that started burning in his rear end in the plane heated up.

I mean, these things started happening.

Another time they discovered a printer cartridge in Europe before it got on.

The plane would have blown up, you know and so forth.

And then, of course, there was the Fort Hood, and that was a terrorist attack, but Obama wouldn't allow it to be categorized as a terror attack.

But that guy was Muslim and he was doing Jihad and they had rules there on the base that you couldn't carry.

Here we entrust these soldiers to carry weapons of war, and yet on the base, they can't even arm themselves.

They have to go around unarmed and yet there's arms everywhere.

So that guy had a semi-automatic weapon and killed those people.

He said well, pastor, I thought you said Texas would.

Well, it wasn't Texas, that's federal property, federal property.

So, god, because we prayed, we heeded the warning, the race was released and Texas, and so far Houston and I'm standing on that.

That's been all those years ago.

We need to renew our thinking about this, because we have goofballs that have opened the border.

Now We've got terrorists coming across the border.

We don't even know who they are, where they've gone.

We just know they're here.

These cells are active folks.

I don't say that to scare you.

I say that we've already been warned all those years ago.

All we've got to do is keep praying over Houston, and that's where the saying came from Houston is a safe and prosperous city and God protects her from all her enemies.

That's where that saying, that confession, came from.

It came from that visitation I had in 2009.

So, holy Ghost warnings, amen.

God wants to extend those.

You don't have to be a preacher to have them.

They can be a warning in your personal life.

They can warn you to your advantage and so that you can prepare for what's coming, lift your hands and receive Holy Ghost warnings.

Hallelujah, glory to God.

Was that okay tonight?

Did you get anything out of it?

Amen, not discourage, but encourage.

Amen.
