-
The question that people are asking all around the world right
-
now is, Pastor Mike, are we in the end
-
times?
-
Some people say, what seal is being opened today in the book of
-
Revelation?
-
In my life, it feels like we're in the end times.
-
And I'm getting that question so much that I'm going to devote
-
the next several minutes to showing what
-
times.
-
And we are going to see if we can arrive to an answer.
-
And I believe it may be an answer that you did not expect.
-
And so I want you to stick around.
-
But how many of you have an awareness that we are in the end
-
times?
-
How many of you believe we are?
-
Okay.
-
Many of you do.
-
So I want to break this down.
-
And this is one of the most important sermons that I've ever
-
Because when you understand the importance of the times in which
-
And so my goal is to bring you into clarity across all of our v
-
So let's start with the words of Jesus, because who cares what
-
I want to learn the word of God.
-
Y'all ready to learn with me?
-
Okay.
-
So say this with me.
-
Let's pray.
-
Say, heavenly Father, teach me your word.
-
Open my eyes to see clearly.
-
Open my ears to hear clearly in the spiritual realm.
-
I pray that your holy spirit would teach me the word in Jesus
-
name.
-
Amen.
-
So let's first look at Matthew, chapter 24, verses five
Matthew 24 chapter mention
-
The disciples were asking Jesus to question Jesus.
-
When will we know when it's the end of days?
-
When will we know when this thing is over and Jesus actually
-
And we have this in scripture, verse five starts by saying, and
-
if you're a note taker, write these
-
For many will come in my name claiming I am the messiah and will
-
So many.
-
Many will come claiming that they are the messiah, and they will
-
In your lifetime alone, have you seen people claiming to be the
-
savior?
-
Have you seen many people claiming to be the savior?
-
Okay.
-
Have you seen people being deceived by them claiming to be the
-
savior?
-
The answer to all these questions is yes.
-
But we also know that this has been happening for the last 2000
-
years.
-
So now let's go deeper.
-
Verse six.
-
Look at it with me.
-
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that
-
Such things must happen.
-
But the end is still to come.
-
In your lifetime, have you heard of wars and rumors of wars?
-
Yes.
-
But have there not been wars and rumors and wars for the last
-
Yes.
-
So how do we know when it's the end times?
-
Let me just tell you.
-
The thing that's most important about the words of Jesus
-
is him saying, don't you worry about
-
a thing.
-
Every little thing gonna be all right rise up this morning.
-
Okay, now, you know he didn't.
-
Jesus didn't say that.
-
That was Bob Marley.
-
Some of you were so high listening to Bob Marley you don't
-
Marley.
-
This is what he says.
-
Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
-
He says, but see to it that you are not alarmed.
-
Turn to your neighbor and say, don't you worry about a thing.
-
Don't be alarmed when you hear about wars and rumors and wars.
-
Let me tell you why.
-
Because the more time you spend in worry, you're worshiping
-
the thing you worry instead of worshiping
-
the one who deserves worship.
-
Worry is misdirected worship.
-
So turn your worship into worry of the one or turn your worry
-
It was a tongue twister.
-
I successfully pulled it off.
-
Worked all week on that for you.
-
But when we hear about war and the rumors of war, we should not
-
worry.
-
But let me just tell you, we should start to celebrate.
-
We should celebrate because we know that it's hastening the day
-
Okay, let's go a little bit deeper.
-
Verse seven.
-
Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.
-
There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
-
Now, this is the most important part.
-
Verse eight.
-
All these are the beginning of birth.
-
And I.
-
Pains.
-
Birth pains.
-
All these are the beginnings.
-
So you hear a famine, you see earthquakes in various places.
-
But it's the beginning of what?
-
Of birth pains.
-
Now, Julie and I got married young, and my wife Julie got pregnant
-
Now, our plan was not to get pregnant two months into marriage.
-
We thought we were going to be hipster christians who did worship,
-
overseas.
-
We were going to frolic together through the streets of northwest
-
Indiana.
-
Those first two months of marriage were amazing.
-
We were holding hands, walking down the street.
-
We went out to eat all the time.
-
We had expendable income.
-
What is that?
-
Then all of a sudden, Julie wakes me up.
-
Mike.
-
Mike, I'm pregnant.
-
Mike, I'm pregnant.
-
She's crying, and I'm like this.
-
And she's like, why are you smiling?
-
This was not the plan.
-
We've only been married for two months.
-
What are we going to do?
-
And I'm like.
-
And she's like, why are you smiling?
-
I'm like, because it works.
-
And she's like, what do you mean?
-
I'm like, I didn't know if I could have kids.
-
Now I know it works.
-
That was honestly my Bella, if you're watching this right now.
-
And then Julie as pregnant Julie was quite the experience.
-
Let me just tell you.
-
Pregnant Julie is hilarious.
-
And we won't go into details of that because I haven't gotten
-
But needless to say, it was a ride, a wild ride.
-
And we get to the end of her pregnancy, and all of a sudden, one
-
to leave for work, and as soon as I
-
This is a true story.
-
I go, that's disgusting.
-
And she was like, mike, this is really how it happened.
-
I go, all right, babe, I'll see you when I get home.
-
And then.
-
And I'm like, yuck, what is that?
-
And she's like, mike, we're gonna have a baby.
-
Today's the day.
-
And I'm like, oh.
-
So I call my job and I'm like, I'm not coming in.
-
My wife's gonna have.
-
We're gonna have our baby.
-
And I'm freaking out.
-
But it take.
-
It took 12 hours for Bella to come out, 12 hours of labor.
-
Now, here's the thing I learned about labor.
-
The contractions increase in their frequency, their duration and
-
So labor was 12 hours.
-
Now, let me just say, Matthew, chapter 24, verses five through eight.
Matthew 24 chapter mention
-
I just broke that down for you.
-
They believed they were in the end times because every single thing
-
So 2000 years ago, they thought, well, surely we watched
-
Jesus ascend into heaven.
-
Surely he's coming back in our lifetime.
-
And now, 2000 years later, it'd be like, oh, I get it.
-
Christians are always saying Jesus is coming back.
-
They've been saying that for 2000 years.
-
But that's almost like saying the baby's not coming.
-
But the water broke.
-
But you don't.
-
It's been 12 hours.
-
Me just tell you this, that baby's coming down the canal and
-
it will happen.
-
And nobody knows the day, the hour or the time, but we know with
-
And so Bella Joyce Signorelli was coming down that birthing canal,
-
But 12 hours in, she came out and she was delivered.
-
And so what you look for, you look for the frequency, you look
-
for the duration, and you look for the
-
Y'all, is this good?
-
Is this helping you?
-
So have there always been earthquakes?
-
Yes, but it, doesn't it seem like the weather's been real funny
-
lately?
-
I mean, during Hurricane Katrina, I actually moved to New
-
During that time, I worked with the Army Corps of Engineers.
-
I was there.
-
I saw firsthand the devastation in New Orleans that happened
-
They're saying that what happened in this nation over the
-
And you best believe that v one is going to be mobilizing some
-
How many of you are with me on that?
-
But I say that because there's something about the intensity.
-
It's like the contractions begin to, that bring forth this new
-
and the intensity of it begins to increase
-
time.
-
But now that I've established all of that, I want to now take.
-
So keep your, the entire time I'm teaching, keep your finger in
-
to show you how you can really get a
-
Okay?
-
Now there's three factors that are very, very important.
-
And these three factors you see in the 10th chapter of Daniel.
-
You see it in the 11th chapter of the Book of Daniel.
-
And you see it in the 11th chapter of the book of revelation.
-
Now, I am not going to take the time to read Daniel 1011 and
-
to summarize it for the sake of this
-
But the three things that you extract from those prophecies in
-
Number one, the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem.
-
The rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem.
-
This is a very significant aspect of the prophecy that determines
-
The rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem.
-
Number two, increased hostility towards Israel.
-
There will be an increase in hostility towards Israel.
-
Explain antisemitism other than demonic.
-
It makes no sense that one people group is hated to that degree,
-
You can see it over and over and over again.
-
And no, history doesn't repeat, but it rhymes.
-
And there is a demonic force that's behind the attempt to annihilate
-
And when you see that right now Israel is at war and they're
-
Jersey.
-
I don't know if you know that it's the landmass of New Jersey and
-
But right now they are fighting on seven fronts.
-
I want you to think about that because so much of your mind has
-
But you need to be informed by the scriptures, because what the
-
And so when I make a statement like this, some of you in your mind
-
to the victims in Palestine, that I don't
-
Iran.
-
I'm telling you from a biblical perspective, these things
-
And I've actually traveled there.
-
I've been there.
-
And right now our executive pastor, Josh Hamster is in Israel
-
now.
-
And we sent him with a group of elite men and they have been ministering
-
And he was in Tel Aviv last week when almost 200 missiles were
-
And I am thankful that Josh Hamster is alive to tell that story.
-
And the man that he is, he literally gave up his spot in a bomb
-
That's a righteous man of God.
-
And then when I facetime him, he was laughing and I said, what
-
is so funny?
-
And I'm thinking to myself, maybe he has death anxiety.
-
And he's saying, he goes, Pastor Mike, you're my apostle and
-
prophet.
-
I'm here to prophesy, ain't I?
-
And I said, yeah.
-
He goes, then I'm in the safest place I can be.
-
I'm in the perfect will of the father.
-
And he said, I feel a unity here and we're singing songs in this
-
And I'm going to say, thus saith the Lord.
-
And I said, go on with your bad self.
-
But why do I say that?
-
Because when you read Daniel chapter ten, Daniel chapter eleven,
-
and revelation eleven, there will be
-
Israel.
-
I'm talking from a scriptural standpoint, not a political standpoint.
-
And then last but not least, the third thing that you see is there's
-
The United nations just met here in New York City, and there
-
was a part of their agenda that actually
-
Well, let me just tell you, I'm not so interested in losing our
-
unity.
-
I'd rather stay individual.
-
And we've got to understand the signs of the times and what we're
-
deception.
-
And I believe that this one world government talk is not Alex
-
theory.
-
It's the precursor to an antichrist system.
-
And that's why I'm doing this sermon today, to borrow back the
-
who are biblically illiterate.
-
And then some of you, and this is going to be a rebuke.
-
As your pastor, you've spent more time in the last couple years
-
Christ.
-
And what happens when you start spending more times with more
-
conspiracies.
-
And then the other thing is, who's your source of information?
-
Is it the Holy Spirit or somebody else?
-
Is it scripture or something else?
-
And you've got christians that will consult a talking head social
-
The Bible says that in the last times, even the elect will be
-
deceived.
-
You know how that happens?
-
You accept Christ in a moment of salvation, but then you end up
-
Okay, that rebuke, was that too harsh?
-
Are you guys cool?
-
Okay, because I'm trying to show you scriptures and some of you
-
but never read Daniel 1011 or revelation
-
eleven.
-
So you've got to go back to the book.
-
Now, the other thing about this sermon, and I want to do this
-
to tell you things as if they're fact.
-
But theologically they cannot be proven as fact.
-
The thing that I will try my best to do, and I've been doing this
-
is teaching you can trust.
-
So there are some times in scripture where we have a definitive
-
And what I do, because I believe that our church is an intelligent
-
But I'll also acknowledge the fact that some scriptures do not
-
to make up your own mind, assuming that
-
Are you okay with that?
-
So when we look at Daniel chapter twelve, because remember
-
I said we're going to go from Matthew chapter
-
Now we're going to land on Daniel chapter twelve.
-
This is the last chapter in the book of Daniel.
-
Daniel was a man that God sovereignly spoke to and gave him
-
And some of these prophecies are what are considered end time
-
prophecies.
-
And Daniel Chapter twelve is revered as the chapter on the end
-
And there's some things that we can look at and extract to try
-
So let's.
-
Now, for those of you who have OCD, I'm going to do this out of
-
order.
-
So just brace yourself.
-
Okay?
-
So sign number one for the note takers.
-
Sign number one.
-
Daniel chapter twelve, verse four.
-
I'm going to read it to you now.
-
But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until
-
Many will go back and forth and knowledge will increase.
-
Now, there's two ways to interpret this scripture.
-
The first way is this.
-
Some people will say that this that the Lord was telling Daniel.
-
Many people will go back and forth discussing the words that I've
-
And knowledge will increase concerning the words that I've given
-
That's one interpretation.
-
But there's also many biblical scholars that interpret it to say,
-
back and forth.
-
Now, let me ask you this.
-
In our lifetime, has there been an exponential increase in knowledge?
-
Yes, by virtue of technology.
-
We have the Internet, we have Wikipedia, we have Google.
-
Now we have the proliferation of AI.
-
And so I would argue if that's the interpretation of Daniel chapter
-
You know, the way it worked before the Internet is knowledge
-
would sit in a book on a shelf.
-
And if that book was destroyed, we lost that knowledge
-
in an entire generation forever.
-
And so now we are seeing the increase of knowledge.
-
Here's the other thing.
-
Have we not seen a dramatic exponential increase in travel?
-
You know, in the last four or five decades?
-
Travel is not what it used to be.
-
People would wear three piece suits to the airport and when you
-
meal and there were people smoking cigarettes
-
life.
-
Now you get pretzels for going to another country.
-
And my wife and pray for her, she even sometimes she'll say, why
-
And I tell her, because I don't want to become a spirit.
-
We're paying more and getting less.
-
And then if you pay for the budget, they got you on that Boeing
-
But all joking aside, has travel increased in the earth?
-
So if that is a sign in Daniel chapter twelve, then those signs
-
are, they're collaborating.
-
Now.
-
Daniel chapter twelve verse eleven.
-
This is sign number two, appearance of the abomination of
-
desolation.
-
Appearance of the abomination of desolation.
-
This is Daniel chapter twelve, verse eleven.
-
I'm going to read it to you now.
-
From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination
-
There is much speculation about this duration of days, 1290
-
Now we're not going to get into that right now, but here's what
-
The Nation of Israel has not been acknowledged as a sovereign
-
state since 70 ad before 1948.
-
So let me hope that makes sense.
-
So almost 2000 years passed from 70 ad when you have the destruction
-
of that temple and that 70 ad, what
-
state.
-
Now here's the thing that is of the utmost importance when you
-
Now if you're a child of the eighties and the nineties, you remember
-
behind.
-
I'm just kidding.
-
You know, we had that, we had that whole fear, and it was like,
-
You know, Rebecca and Kirk got married last week.
-
They're like, we're not taking any chances.
-
We're doing this before Jesus comes back.
-
You guys are rapture ready.
-
You did it.
-
Praise God.
-
He's like, jesus, you can come back now.
-
But this is how it was growing up.
-
And a lot of times people say, oh, you know, they were fanatical.
-
But I want you to understand how you arrive be a little bit more
-
Because what happened in 1948 when Israel became acknowledged as
-
There was a 2000 year gap until that moment.
-
So it makes you understand a little bit more of the panic, you
-
know.
-
Now, of course, we need to counterbalance crazy charismatic
-
theology, but at the same time, do you understand
-
Because what they were saying is that was a major undeniable fulfillment,
-
and Revelation eleven.
-
And we've got to understand the implications it has for us.
-
And that's how you get this whole, I mean, listen, we were scared
-
I'll just tell you straight up.
-
I mean, a lot of it was fear based stuff.
-
There's movies from back in those days where, you know, they
-
with the scorpion's tail that stings you and
-
And you see the big stinger comes out.
-
You know, I've been trying to find those movies lately just to
-
They were like christian horror films, you know, and we in
-
You know, that's why we wrote reckless love of God in the next
-
generation.
-
Oh, he loves us.
-
That's why Crowder wrote, he loves us just to remind ourselves,
-
because we thought, any day it's like you're
-
And so why do I say that?
-
Let's talk about the appearance of the abomination of
-
desolation.
-
It says from the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished.
-
So, and then, and then the abomination that causes the desolation
-
is set up.
-
Okay?
-
So I was privileged to go to Israel a couple of times and do tours
-
And one thing is, you can go to the Temple Mount, and this is
-
and rebuilt.
-
Destroyed and rebuilt.
-
But there is a group called the Temple Mount Institute, and you
-
But it's a group of jewish believers that are laboring to actually
-
to reinstitute sacrifice in the temple.
-
And I was able to do, like, a private tour of this facility on
-
And they have through.
-
It's behind very, very thick, bulletproof glass.
-
And the whole time on this tour, they were saying, oh, this
-
is a replica of the table of showbread.
-
And this is, like, what it would have looked like.
-
And this is a replica of the utensils that we would use in sacrificial
-
system.
-
And they took us all the way through this tour.
-
Then we get to the end, and I get pulled aside, and they're like,
-
you.
-
And I feel comfortable saying this publicly now.
-
They said, here's the thing we want to tell you.
-
These are not replicas.
-
These are recreations that we intend to use when we re institute
-
temple worship.
-
And what you saw behind bulletproof glass is a preparation
-
for the temple actually functioning again.
-
How many of you remember when we walked through the book of Leviticus?
-
Okay, now you see the journey I'm taking you on as your pastor.
-
Imagine that happening again.
-
Have you heard about the red heifers?
-
Have you heard about what's happening?
-
So, right now, the temple Institute, you'll go in under the
-
This is the ephod and the things that were worn by the.
-
The Levites.
-
And then they take you aside, and they say, actually, that's not
-
We're just getting ready to wear it again.
-
So this is.
-
There is this acknowledgement.
-
Even in Judaism, there's this acknowledgement.
-
Many people now are.
-
There's.
-
There's something.
-
We're kind of on the edge of our seat right now.
-
So that's what this has to do with the abomination of desolation.
-
Talks about this time before, but it also eludes to the Antichrist.
-
So it's like the.
-
It's a time where, essentially, daily sacrifice has
-
And right now, we're in between those times, and now we have
-
So let's talk about the Antichrist.
-
And please don't say out loud who you think it is.
-
Okay?
-
But number three, this is sign number three, the rise of the Antichrist.
-
In Daniel chapter twelve, verse seven, remember, we're in the
-
Then in Daniel chapter twelve, verse seven, and then in chapter
-
reign and during which God's people are
-
Now, I get this question all the time.
-
Pastor Mike, who is the Antichrist?
-
How will we know?
-
This is another question I get.
-
My inbox is flooded with these questions.
-
Pastor Mike, is the Antichrist alive today?
-
I want to respond to a question with a question, and I believe
-
Is the Antichrist system, or at least the precursor to that system
-
Okay, you got a lot of christians on the front row shouting,
-
So the real question is, and then for those of you who are confused,
-
It is a system of false unity.
-
It's a system of false unity.
-
And let me explain why.
-
Satan is not a creator.
-
We serve God, the creator, and then Satan is the emulator, right?
-
So what he does is he perverts and distorts the original design
-
of God.
-
So watch, Jesus dies on the cross, he's resurrected.
-
Three days later, he ascends to heaven.
-
They meet in the upper room in one mind and one accord, and then
-
as a result of that unity, the Holy
-
And we know that Christ is interceding on our behalf, that we
-
So we know that Christ wants his body, his bride to be.
-
What one?
-
That's unity.
-
So Satan is not going to come and bring division because he's a
-
counterfeiter.
-
He's going to bring false unity.
-
So that's why he.
-
Because he's the.
-
I'm just going to go there because he's the prince of the power
-
And because that he was partially over music, he's going
-
to get together all of his minions that
-
He gets everybody singing.
-
We are the world.
-
We are the world is one of the most demonically influenced songs
-
And the.
-
And the agenda of we are the world has infiltrated every continent
-
and every planet.
-
And what we want so bad is unity.
-
But Jesus, while he was alive, said that when you speak this message
-
And so it's crazy because you have christians singing we are the
-
like Christ, who said, sometimes when
-
you preach the truth, it's going to divide.
-
So the reason why I got to say this is because false unity is the
-
And you got people that write about me on Reddit.
-
I can't attend his church anymore because he's always talking
-
I can't attend his church because he's so mean.
-
No, the most compassionate thing I can do is tell the truth
-
In a world full of deception.
-
The most loving thing I can do is tell you the truth about your
-
been brainwashed by pornography, and you
-
And this is the thing I'm saying.
-
It's like, Pastor Mike, can't we just get along with Islam?
-
No, because they say that he's a prophet and we say he's the messiah.
-
And so in order for us to have unity, somebody's got a compromise,
-
and I don't think it's going to be them.
-
But I'm here to tell you from New York City, it ain't going to
-
I know that Jesus is who he said he is, but I get what you're
-
No, fundamentally, we can't, because if they're holding hands
-
with the devil and you hold hands with
-
And when you speak the truth, then what happens is the gospel,
-
like, a seed, is deposited, and the Bible
-
Sometimes that seed is sown among thistles and thorns and it
-
But sometimes that seed goes into a muslim heart and turns them
-
Sometimes that seed goes into a gay heart and turns it straight.
-
Sometimes that seed goes into a transgender heart and turns them
-
And so stop telling me what God can do with a seed.
-
I know the power of the seed of the gospel.
-
Oh, but I was born this way.
-
Yeah, be born again.
-
We all got to be born again.
-
That's the truth of the word of God.
-
So be careful singing we are the world because the whole world
-
is going to hell without the gospel.
-
Who is the antichrist?
-
Just be concerned that you are not participating in his system,
-
Be very, very careful, man.
-
I feel the anointing on this.
-
I love teaching about the end times.
-
I don't know when, but the frequency, the intensity and the
-
increasing.
-
And I don't know when.
-
Nobody knows when.
-
Nobody knows the day.
-
Don't believe them if they say they do, because they'll be wrong.
-
Because everybody's been wrong so far, and they'll be wrong.
-
But I will tell you, there are signs.
-
Here's sign number four.
-
This is Daniel, chapter twelve, verse one.
-
There will be a time of distress such as not happened from
-
now.
-
Great tribulation and great persecution.
-
Something's happening amongst Gen Z.
-
I believe the z stands for zeal.
-
Gen Z for zeal.
-
Zeal for God's house.
-
Zeal for the things of the Lord.
-
And, you know, I've been watching these viral videos where
-
Gen Z is, like, pretending to interview
-
And it's like they're at work.
-
And the viral videos are the Gen Z saying, hey, I'm a Christian.
-
And then the person is saying, oh, that's crazy.
-
I never knew that.
-
I didn't know.
-
And then the Gen Z has this look on their face, like, of disappointment
-
in themselves.
-
And I was watching video after video of this, and I said, Lord,
-
why are they making these videos?
-
Like, what is happening that's causing many of them to make these
-
videos?
-
And the Lord says, I'm convicting them, and I'm bringing
-
them to a place of boldness so that they'll
-
Because what it is, it's so pure.
-
What's coming out of that generation is they're basically saying,
-
christians?
-
And so let me just tell you right now, this is sign number five.
-
Sign number five.
-
In Daniel chapter twelve, verses two and three is multitudes
-
who sleep in the dust of the earth will
-
content.
-
See, what happened was when you guys were given the narrative,
-
the dead in Christ will rise first if
-
Sometimes people think of the resurrection being for christians,
-
not for non christians.
-
But here's the good news.
-
But I'm going to give you better news.
-
The good news is you're all eternal.
-
The Muslims are eternal, the Hindus are eternal, the atheists
-
are eternal even though they don't understand.
-
And they think that it's quantum.
-
And they think that maybe there's some vibration that leaves
-
Or that consciousness lives on as plasma.
-
Y'all listen, I put my tinfoil hat on a couple times a week, but
-
resurrected.
-
But the Bible says every knee will bow and every tongue will confess
-
But see what happens.
-
And the way that God told it to Daniel is different than the Kirk
-
seen.
-
What he says is when this resurrection happens, some to everlasting
-
And some to shape, I believe you're going to be looking.
-
There's Mike, there's my pastor.
-
There's Julie, there's Steph.
-
Look.
-
There's Harvey and Jess.
-
Look, look.
-
But then you're going to see that person you told the gospel to
-
And it says some are going to be resurrected to everlasting life
-
Oh, woe to those who wake up on Resurrection day realizing that
-
I spent my whole life researching this because I didn't
-
want my life to be a waste.
-
And what I'm telling you I believe to be the truth.
-
Here's the only thing we can control.
-
Remember I said, let's go back to Matthew chapter 24.
Matthew 24 chapter mention
-
Okay, let's go back to Matthew chapter 24.
Matthew 24 chapter mention
-
Because when the disciples were asking Jesus, how do we know
-
I believe Jesus gave them the most important answer, and we haven't
-
Let's look at it now.
-
Matthew 20 414.
-
And this gospel, the good news, that the kingdom will be proclaimed
-
It was almost as if Jesus was saying, you can't control when nations
-
No matter how hard you try, you can't control earthquakes.
-
But the one variable I'll give you is you can preach the gospel
-
to all nations.
-
And when the gospel is proclaimed to all nations, then the
-
So the question is not, are we in the end times?
-
The question is, are we united to bring the end?
-
Will we preach the gospel to everybody.
-
Will we be a global voice of the gospel to all nations and say
-
If you're watching live right now, your share is one of the most
-
You're not sharing, so we get social media famous.
-
You're sharing to make Jesus famous in nations that don't know
-
him.
-
You're one of the most important campuses we have because
-
the Internet can go where we can't go.
-
In this building right now.
-
I say let's be a global voice of the gospel to all people.
-
Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
-
I once was blind but now I see twas
-
What else are you living for?
-
He said, when the gospel is proclaimed throughout the whole world
-
The Antichrist is not in control of the end.
-
Did you hear what I just said?
-
The Antichrist isn't in control of the end.
-
All of them are pawns being pimped by God.
-
Because what's happening is there's a separation between the
-
And the question that every single one of you listening across
-
Are you a son or a daughter of the king?
-
Or are you a son or daughter of Satan?
-
There's no Muslims in hell.
-
There's no atheists in hell.
-
There's no agnostics in hell.
-
There's just sons and daughters of Satan in hell.
-
And he cloaked every idolatry to become a deception to get them
-
to go there.
-
There's no Presbyterians in heaven.
-
There's no Methodists in heaven.
-
There's no Pentecostals in heaven.
-
There are sons and daughters in heaven, sons and daughters of
-
I feel something settling in my soul right now.
-
I want you to stand to your feet with me.
-
In Daniel, chapter twelve, verse 13, he says, but go your way
-
and shall stand in your.
-
Ooh.
-
I feel the power of God on that.
-
Can you imagine?
-
Daniel was literally castrated by Babylon.
-
The babylonian structure always castrates strong mendenna,
-
the transgender spirit, is the spirit
-
of Babylon.
-
People don't understand when Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, when
-
That's why on Long island, when they say that churches should
-
be small, because they preach the true
-
gospel.
-
That in and of itself is a demonic doctrine.
-
Because healthy things always multiply.
-
Because he's the God of abundance.
-
And he told Adam and Eve in the garden, be fruitful and multiply.
-
This church will never be too big.
-
It's impossible for any church to be too big.
-
That's preaching the gospel, because multiplication is the fruit
-
do.
-
But Daniel was castrated.
-
Daniel never saw the fulfillment of anything that God
-
Daniel was confused by the things God told him because he didn't
-
I feel such great empathy for him, because what a powerful servant.
-
Daniel and the lion's den.
-
The lion's den was an easy day for Daniel.
-
Y'all learned about the lion's den, but did you color the coloring
-
book page of the castration?
-
See, what happens when you're biblically illiterate is you think
-
No, the Bible is not the story of what happened.
-
It's the story of what always happens.
-
Molech and Baal sacrificed babies, and we're still sacrificing
-
babies today.
-
The transgender movement is castrating, and we're still castrating
-
today.
-
It's ancient demons and new days rebranded just because the devil
-
Don't fall for it.
-
It's a new logo, but the same product.
-
When you take it, it's arsenic for your soul, and you'll die and
-
I just feel the power of God on this because the question that
-
it to you.
-
It's a command.
-
This is one of the most powerful scriptures in all 66 books
-
But go your way till the end.
-
Somebody just whisper those words until the end.
-
And you shall rest, and you shall stand in your allotted place
-
at the end of the days.
-
This is like.
-
Almost like what God was saying was.
-
Daniel, I know you don't understand.
-
I know this all doesn't make sense to you, and you were faithful
-
to write it down, and you'll get it
-
place.
-
The reason why I got emotional is because in revelation, chapter
-
is the final place for every believer.
-
After that, I looked and behold a great multitude that no
-
From every nation, from all tribes and all peoples and languages,
-
and palm branches in their hands and
-
If you are a Christian, every single one of you who hear me, you
-
Revelation, chapter seven, verse nine is a future prophecy.
-
And if you are a believer, I just read, you're one of those people
-
You're one of those people in the white robe declaring, listen,
-
there was a very high level terrorist that
-
And all of a sudden, he died.
-
And an angel took him to heaven after he first visited hell.
-
And when he was in heaven, he heard them crying the word Hosanna.
-
He had never heard the word Hosanna his entire life.
-
After he came back from the dead, he's in a muslim hospital,
-
and he was screaming, what does Hosanna
-
mean?
-
What is Hosanna?
-
What is Hosanna?
-
I heard them.
-
I was in paradise, and I heard them saying Hosanna around a throne.
-
And they sedated him because they thought he lost his mind and
-
These stories I can tell by the dozens, but we don't have the
-
time.
-
Heaven is real.
-
Hell is real.
-
But your final destination is revelation, chapter seven, verse
-
nine and ten.
-
To show up in a white robe which represents.
-
You accepted the sacrifice of Jesus, and you're waving a palm branch
-
Palm branches get waved to represent the checkered flag.
-
The race is over, and we won.
-
It was worth the fight.
-
It was worth every finance you gave to the local church to open
-
up venues, to bring in drug addicts
-
and those on the verge of divorce and
-
identity.
-
It was worth all the time that you prayed when you didn't want to
-
pray.
-
It was worth all the time that you boldly told the gospel even though
-
It was worth the time that you got up in worship while the world
-
was falling apart.
-
And when we have that palm branch, I'm going to look at you,
-
And I'm going to say, do you like my hair?
-
It looks so good.
-
And we're going to say, we won.
-
We did it.
-
It was worth it.
-
Wasn't it worth it?
-
And then I would say to you, would you do it again?
-
Would you set that church up in a movie theater with me again?
-
If you had to?
-
Would you come into that place in New Jersey and do it again.
-
Would you wake up early again so more people could be here with
-
Would you give more of your finances if you could do it again?
-
And we would all say, yes, I would do it again, and I would go
-
deeper.
-
So let me ask you this question.
-
Who here needs to accept Christ across every location?
-
Lift your hand if you need to accept Jesus as your savior?
-
Who's hearing me talk?
-
And you realize that you have not accepted Jesus and you've just
-
Just lift up your hand.
-
Who wants to accept Jesus?
-
Come on.
-
Anybody cross any location?
-
Lift up your hand.
-
How many of you are deeply convicted?
-
Both hands and a foot.
-
We're going to pray the sinner's prayer together, which is
-
And really, you can't just go through the motions and say it.
-
You really have to repent, which means to turn from your sin
-
But Romans chapter ten, verse nine says, confess with your mouth,
-
It's that simple.
-
My favorite story is the man hanging next to Jesus on the cross
-
to do anything for Jesus.
-
But he believed he was the messiah and he was saved.
-
It's that simple.
-
Let's pray this together with everybody at every location.
-
Say this with me.
-
Heavenly Father, forgive me of all my sins, I declare you are the
-
messiah.
-
You are my savior.
-
Wash me with your blood.
-
I will serve you.
-
I will build your church.
-
I will endure till the end.
-
By your grace, Jesus name, amen.
-
Now I want you to take your communion up.
-
Out.
-
And don't take it yet.
-
Just across every location.
-
Let me lead you into time of communion.
-
I'm enduring to the end.
-
Anybody else?
-
I'm going all the way.
-
Anybody else?
-
So as you take your communion out, you could just open it up across
-
If you're at home, I'd encourage you to grab some bread.
-
Grabbed something one time, Evan Wilson did communion with Mountain
-
Dew.
-
I said, you're going to need an extra miracle to make that the
-
But you know what he did?
-
The communion.
-
The Mountain Dew story was that he led a satanist in a park
-
to Christ.
-
Evan Wilson, who's now our online campus pastor, led a satanist
-
in a park to Christ and then did communion
-
Don't you just love making the devil mad.
-
Now, the Bible says that if you take communion, but you have
-
not asked for forgiveness, if you haven't
-
Can I explain that?
-
Because there's some churches and even denominations that will
-
sin.
-
But we know the Bible says that he's faithful and just to forgive
-
And so we don't have.
-
And the Bible also says he has not given us the spirit of condemnation.
-
Right.
-
Therefore, there is no condemnation to those who are in
-
But I do think that communion should be a reminder of the forgiveness
-
And so the question about, are we in the end times?
-
Here's the better question.
-
Are we preaching the gospel?
-
Pastor Mike, who's the Antichrist?
-
Here's the better question.
-
Are we participating in the Antichrist system?
-
Are we in the end times?
-
I think so.
-
Does that mean that we all got to go cash out our bank account,
-
get a Louis Vuitton after church?
-
Because yolo.
-
Because people will say, well, you can't take it to the grave.
-
Yeah, but you can store up treasures in heaven, and you got
-
So I got my Louie and my Gucci and I got.
-
I can't.
-
I get what?
-
Hey, I get it, girl.
-
I hope Jesus comes back after you bounce that check.
-
But let me just tell you, you got christians who are more concerned
-
And I'll tell you, I'm storing up treasures in heaven.
-
That's my goal.
-
I probably shouldn't even say this, but I had a dream a couple
-
And I was in this dream.
-
And I awoke in my heavenly mansion.
-
And I was walking around and I saw some of my loved ones.
-
There were some other loved ones who weren't there, and there
-
And it was just one of the most powerful dreams I ever had in
-
And I woke up and I said, lord, I believe this was a prophetic
-
dream.
-
Why did I have this dream?
-
And he says, this is what I want you to do, is seek and save
-
the lost.
-
Reset your entire church for evangelism.
-
Reset your entire church to lead the lost.
-
And it's almost like he had to make me see my own heavenly mansion
-
to be like my.
-
What are you living for?
-
Recalibrate.
-
You're off target a little bit.
-
Get back on the bullseye.
-
And for all of you, who are so worried about your job, who are so
-
It's like a mist that's here one moment and gone the next.
-
Switch your thinking to the eternal, and the peace of God that
-
That's why.
-
That's my why.
-
That's my why.
-
And we got to come back to that place.
-
So this communion is going to be our confession together, that
-
we are going to lead the lost to the
-
So let me pray.
-
Father, I pray for this bread that is, that we get ready to partake
-
It's so that our body can be made whole.
-
But also, Father, I thank you for the unification of the body,
-
your body, that we would be one across
-
all of our seven locations of v one church,
-
I pray that we would be unified as we take your body now
-
so you may partake.
-
As you're ingesting the body of Christ.
-
I want to encourage you.
-
We received three stories this last week of people who experienced
-
services.
-
Last week.
-
Week.
-
So I believe that when you take the body of Christ, there is
-
And so if you're believing for healing in your body, just receive
-
it right now.
-
And this blood, this is how I want us to take this blood.
-
In a moment, how many of you remember the Passover story where
-
Right now, you're going to hear wars and rumors of wars.
-
You're going to hear about earthquakes and I.
-
Various different things in weather.
-
But I want you to make a declaration with me that as we take
-
in control and you're not, and God is
-
you.
-
I'll never forget when I was in the hurricane Katrina.
-
I was doing the cleanup for it.
-
There was an entire neighborhood that was decimated.
-
I'm talking every house was gone.
-
I'm talking the roof of the house would be on the ground next
-
to the house.
-
That was leveled, and one house looked like nothing happened
-
to it.
-
Looked like an anomaly.
-
And I was with the army corps of engineers, and I was like, what?
-
How is that house there?
-
Is that new construction or something?
-
It looks like it's old.
-
They're like, no.
-
We have no scientific explanation for how that house was
-
The whole neighborhood's decimated.
-
I walked in the house, and literally, there was a light cover
-
on the switch that says, the angel of
-
Encamps around those fear him, and chills just went down my spine.
-
Yeah.
-
So I'm telling you, it does.
-
A thousand may fall to one side and 10,000 on the other, but
-
I will still be standing.
-
Come on.
-
Ain't no ghost but the Holy Ghost up in this house.
-
I don't care what happens.
-
I'm good.
-
The blood of Jesus covers our house, so let's take this blood as
-
Now, I want you to stay where you're at and take 30 seconds now,
-
And we're going to take a moment of silence and reflection
-
and meditation on him and his word.
-
I want you to think about what was taught.
-
And as an entire church right now, I want us to just take about
-
30 seconds or so and just let the Lord
-
And I believe the Lord's going to speak to you.
-
I did this exercise in preparation for this moment, and
-
And something broke off of me, and I literally.
-
I think I started getting a form of deliverance, and it happened
-
And the Lord told me, just let your church have some time with me,
-
me.
-
So just take 30 seconds to 60 seconds and let the Lord speak and
