Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do
-
you know it is inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share, subscribe,
-
and support this podcast. So we are mere Nathal Ministries
-
and now Reduction draweth nigh. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome
-
to the fellowship tonight. I'm not too sure what we're
-
going to do, but I have a pretty good feeling
-
that it'll be good no matter what we do, because
-
where two or three are gathered, though, He is in
-
our midst aymen. So that being the case. Before we
-
came on, before we came live, we were talking about
-
current events and maybe maybe we should talk about that
-
for a minute, you know, Tammy, you and I we
-
were just having a discussion how you can fairly well
-
prove in a court of law, based on recent history,
-
that nothing's going to be done to the elected officials,
-
for the for the grievous shortcomings that is happening right
-
now to disaster victims, that there's no I could prove
-
that in a court of law nothing's going to happen
-
to them. As a matter of fact, one of the
-
major states that's been affected, their senator was just in
-
a foreign country stating with their mouth guaranteeing weapons and
-
the like to that foreign entity instead of his own
-
state citizens receiving help. Nothing is going to be done.
-
Nothing is going to be done unless the children of
-
the Living God get together and start crying out. That's
-
when something will be done, and not before. That's when
-
something will get done. You have to stir up the
-
children of God in order to get something done. And
-
it's amazing to me that yesterday people got kind of well,
-
they got quite irritated at me because I said, really,
-
if such and such is really happening, and they're a
-
part of our denomination, why don't you call that church
-
and talk to that pastor. This is proof unequivocable about
-
what's happening. Just ask that pastor, Hey, how can the
-
members of our church help the members of your church? Boy,
-
they got mad, they got mad. This would nip in
-
the bud. All conspiracy theories. You can easily on the internet.
-
You can easily find out the number to the local
-
church in the affected area of the denomination which you attend.
-
Look it up. You can go to most websites and
-
a lot of websites. We even have emergency numbers there.
-
Did you know that to have crisis hotlines, especially for
-
you know, of course the plain simple factory remains that
-
they're getting funding from the government to do this, but
-
they'll have crisis offlines church as will. Well, you call
-
that and guess what, You're eventually going to get the
-
cell phone of the pastor and you can ask him
-
what's really happening and if his parishioners need help. Why
-
would somebody get angry if I suggested that that's somebody
-
else's job. It's certainly not ours, is it. That's the
-
church boys, it's the clergy. Clergy is supposed to take
-
care of that. Our district overseers are supposed to collect
-
our tithe and send to those churches. Right, You're supposed
-
to do nothing, Right, you don't have to worry about
-
such things. Well, if we did worry about such things,
-
and if we were to call that pastor get us
-
a list of members, of course those names are available,
-
of course they are. Every church has its own private directory.
-
I assure you every church knows whose their members are.
-
Of course, we could get those names of individual families
-
into the hands of individual families church across the nation
-
for those respective denominations. Is that happening as your pastor
-
asks you to pray for this family that's in the church,
-
and let's say South Carolina, No, that hasn't happened. Don't
-
you find that pretty curious? Because as far as my
-
part would go, if I held the pastorate in a
-
local church, I assure you my conscience would not permit
-
me to leave it alone. I would be a haaunted
-
by the Holy Spirit until I got a phone book,
-
went to the library, did something and found out the
-
local denomination, you know, the local church in my denomination,
-
in wherever it's at, whatever count is, and called that
-
church and tried to get a hold of them. And
-
I know me, and I know my history. I know
-
what happened. I'll give you some facts right up front.
-
I know what I did back in twenty eleven when
-
the earthquake hit Haiti. I don't think I know what
-
I did. I know what I did, So based on that,
-
I know what I would do now. I would find
-
a way to get a hold of the local churches
-
in that area, call them, at least to get a
-
list of namesames of families that I could pray for
-
that my family could pray for and just so you know,
-
back when that happened, a major ministry was asking for
-
volunteers to go down there and help rebuild. I was
-
uniquely qualified.
-
For this.
-
Because I do construction. Number two, my wife went to
-
an institution of higher learning for schooling. I actually volunteered
-
to go down and just to be my own team,
-
me and my wife and our family go in there
-
and build a children's home. Don't ask me how that went.
-
Don't ask me how it went, because that was the
-
last thing on earth that ministry wanted done. They were
-
actually just taking in donations and saying they were doing
-
that stuff. They're just keeping the cash. So that's my
-
question to all of you. I mean, some of you
-
go to Baptist churches, some of you go to Presbyterian churches.
-
And don't lie, don't lie. Don't you dare say that
-
you haven't heard mentioned at least the nomenclature of a
-
single town, because if you've watched the news, you've heard
-
at least one town in one state. Did you go
-
to the internet and find out if they had a
-
Baptist church there or if you're going to an Assembly
-
of God, did you check through churches and that town
-
you heard of for an Assembly of God church. No
-
you haven't. Why is that is that? Of course you're
-
going to have the need jerk response, and your answer
-
will be just what I mentioned a few minutes ago.
-
It's not your problem. You're not supposed to do that.
-
Your clergy is. That's why your clergy supports your pastor. Right,
-
surely the pastor is being organized at the district level
-
to coordinate and funnel funds to those people in need.
-
Is that really what you think is going to happen?
-
Is that really what you think is going to happen?
-
You know better, don't you. But we can certainly triangulate
-
our prayers, and we could certainly cry out to God
-
that if we have anything those people need, that he
-
might take it from us. Do you know he can
-
do that? Do you know he's God? Do you know?
-
I know that you've been convinced that he's entombed upon
-
his throne and he's not allowed to get up or
-
do anything. And I know I know the psychological programming
-
that you've gone through your entire life from these people.
-
But I'm here to tell you God does whatever he
-
wants whenever he wants to do it, and you've been
-
promised by God the Son that God the Father knows
-
how to give you good gifts. If most of you
-
are so disconnected from the reality of the Lord Jesus Christ,
-
you have no idea what a good gift is. You
-
have no idea idea. You pray for successful surgeries, you
-
pray for a raise at your job, you pray that
-
your dog has only female puppies. You have no idea
-
what a good gift is. You have no idea because
-
these are the things that well, those churches that you're
-
going to, and that clergy and those shepherds, that's what
-
they've subconsciously taught you is good gifts. But they're not.
-
You know, there's miracles mentioned in the Bible that hasn't
-
even happened yet. For do you know that the Profit
-
Asaf said that in the Second Exodust, you're not gonna
-
just get water from the rock, you will get honey.
-
Did you know that? Let me say that again, real slow.
-
The Profit Asaff has chronicled that in the second Exodust,
-
honey will come from a rock. If that be true,
-
and I assure you it is true, why are all
-
of you scrambling to look it up right now? Why
-
is that? Why is it? You don't know? Why is that?
-
Why is it? When I have conversations with Christians, I
-
very seldomly can have an intelligent conversation with Christians. They
-
think they know, oh, God's word, and they don't. They
-
mostly know about science fiction, fantasy, things made up, things
-
that have literally been invented since the first three hundred
-
years of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, outright fiction,
-
for instance. And in the plain simple fact of the
-
matter that Daniel chronicles that there's a week and in
-
the middle of the week the prince would be cut off.
-
And it is a bonified fact that the ministry of
-
the Lord Jesus Christ was three and a half years.
-
That's a bonified fact based on the facts found in
-
the Gospel of John because it details it chronicles through passovers.
-
If that be true, then the rest of what Daniel
-
had to say about that week is also true. You've
-
got three and a half years to go. Why don't
-
you know that? Because I just stated historical facts, So
-
let me ask that one more time. Why hasn't your
-
pastor because.
-
You know.
-
We're well past this first hurricane that'srecked major havoc. You
-
have been to church since then, don't lie riddle me.
-
Did he from the pulpit say, hey, we have a
-
sister church in North Carolina, and here's the list. I
-
want everybody to take a and we're all going to
-
individually pray for these families. Your family's gonna pray for
-
this family, and this church is gonna pray for that church.
-
Is that what happened or did you not even hear
-
about that? Let us say, you know Assembly of God
-
that was abliterated. I mean I am intimately familiar and
-
have been to the district headquarters of more than one church.
-
And I assure you that that millions of dollars goes
-
into that mechanism, millions of dollars salaries and vacations and
-
health care and the just the headquarters maintenance, what that cost.
-
Millions of dollars goes into it. But nobody seemed to
-
mention any of your sister churches and the path of that,
-
not this hurricane, the last one. Now, when you go
-
to church Sunday, just keep quiet and just just wait
-
for it. See if anybody mentions any of the churches
-
that was affected by this most recent hurricane. Guess what
-
you're gonna hear. You're gonna hear crickets. Nobody in your
-
congregation don't give a flying rip about that sister church
-
you got down there. I don't care. What they care
-
about is well, I don't need to talk about those things,
-
do us? So we've got problems. We don't have little problems.
-
We have great, big problems. When sister churches can be obligated,
-
literally obliterated, the only thing left is the foundation blocks.
-
You can go look at the foundation blocks where the
-
church used to be, and you don't know any You
-
don't even know the pastor's name, you don't even know
-
if he's still alive. I mean, you would think that
-
whoever is the head of your district would make around
-
and go visit each one of his church over the
-
course of however many sundays it took how many churches
-
was in his district to pass out the the list
-
of these names, the name of the church that have
-
been obliterated, and the name of the pastor and the
-
clergy and the members of that church, so you could
-
pray for them, right, I mean, what makes you think
-
you need red cross? Whiddle? Me this and how much
-
ties money did your church bring in last year? How
-
many tents do you think that could buy? How many
-
how many cases of bottled water do you think that
-
could buy? And let me get this straight. You actually
-
think God's not going to ask you about it? Well,
-
isn't that convenient? Isn't it convenient that you wear the
-
same label as that church does in the disaster zone,
-
you pay your hie to the same organization, and God's
-
not going to ask you about it. That's funny, and
-
it's funny to the point that you need to realize
-
and understand this. He's not in tuned by God. He's
-
going to get up and when he does, you'll know it.
-
And all your study of science fiction fantasy is not
-
going to help you. So I guess off the ministries
-
being a church without walls, because we're scattered everywhere. This
-
is done electronically over the airwaves, right. What we most
-
certainly can do is pray for these people, because I
-
don't need a denominational name, and I never did. I
-
never did. I carry the cross of he who sacrificed
-
himself for me. I carry the name of the Lord
-
Jesus Christ alone, and there are plenty of born again
-
God fearing, Bible believing, Gospel preaching Christians that are in
-
the disaster zone. I mean, why don't you come in
-
and pray for our siblings there that's in the disaster areas.
-
Okay, yes, Father God, I thank you for helping all
-
these people that you brought them through clinging on to
-
hope in You Lord, all the rescues that we have seen.
-
I pray Father that these miracles help spread the gospel
-
and that people get saved out of this tragedy, or
-
that they that they turn to faith in You. And
-
we know that this is just the beginning of the
-
birth payings and there's so much more to come. Father,
-
be with your people. Shelter them in the storms, comfort
-
them and bring them peace. Help them find their missing
-
loved ones, that they know what happened to them, whether
-
they have been taking to be with You, or that
-
they are alive somewhere in a hospital. Let them be found,
-
let them know have closure. I pray that you feed them,
-
clothe them and house them. Comfort the ones, especially the
-
children that have seen so much tragedy, so much more
-
than a young child should have seen. Father, let them
-
be able to sleep in peace tonight. Pray you stir
-
the hearts. Stir the hearts of your people that they
-
help send help. Father. They need you mobilize the body,
-
use us, Father, to help each other, to send aid
-
if we're able to physically go, to go and to help,
-
and if we're not physically able to give us the
-
means to send assistance monetary or food or whatever it
-
may be. And I thank you Father for letting us
-
have the opportunity to continue to communicate. Restore the cell
-
towers and the electric and the fresh water that they
-
are able to drink clean water. Again, Father, I thank
-
you so much, so much for what we do have.
-
We are grateful for in Jesus' name, I'm.
-
In Amen and amen, Amen and amen. All right, is
-
there anything anybody wants to talk about tonight? Come on now,
-
don't be shy.
-
You be first, well, I saw something weird on the
-
way home from church the other night.
-
Am.
-
This goes along with something Darlene saw when she was
-
driving the other home. She had an incident first, and
-
then this happened to us. So we were on our
-
way home and this is at night and we're going
-
over the interstate. The bridge right over the bridge, were
-
about to go on to the reservation and I'm on
-
at the light. The lights read and were stopped, and
-
there's two pickup trucks in front of me. It's a
-
two lane divided highway, and a young younger girl, teenager,
-
I think she was jumped out of the truck and
-
started running across the bridge, and I thought, what's going on?
-
And I thought maybe he was gonna jump highland. My
-
mom and my son, we didn't see anything else. And
-
then the guy in the pickup and the other pickup
-
jumped gets out of his vehicle, and I'm thinking he's
-
going after the girl to stop her, because I'm thinking
-
maybe she's going to jump off the bridge, you know.
-
He comes to my window and he says, did you
-
see that dog? I'm like, what dog? There was no dog,
-
he says, and he showed showed the height. It was
-
like it would have been like up to his thigh.
-
You know, I'm thinking, what in the world. None of
-
us behind them saw anything at all. And the girl
-
was looking over the edge of the bridge down to
-
the freeway below as if this animal had leapt over
-
the bridge. It disappeared, literally disappeared. And because we didn't
-
even see it. We're behind them and we didn't see
-
a thing, but the two cars right in front of
-
me did. And then the light was green and the
-
cars were coming, and so they ran back to the
-
car and we all went and I'm thinking, what in
-
the world. So I don't know. I don't know what
-
they saw, but we didn't see it, and it didn't
-
It couldn't have gone anywhere. It couldn't have disappeared because
-
it was over the highway. Literally there. It was a
-
bridge over the highway. Where did it go?
-
They tell me of the incident with Darlene. What did
-
she see?
-
Maybe Darlene did she here? She could hop on and
-
tell you.
-
Darlene, why don't you come on and tell us what
-
you saw?
-
Okay?
-
I forgot what night it was. It was when they
-
were doing the strike. They were talking about the strike
-
at the ports. Me and my sister had left to
-
make sure we had gas in our car. So she
-
was behind me and we were on our way home
-
and I was pulling into Grant Road coming off the
-
main road. Right in front of me before I'm pulling
-
off was a big It was that normally big deer
-
with antlers, the big antlers, a stag, I guess you'd
-
call him. But he wasn't like flesh. And I didn't
-
tell any of the girls when I was talking then
-
he was missy. But Tammy said something about missy. I said,
-
And how'd you know it was misty? It was a misty.
-
It was like a I guess it would be like
-
a spirit. I don't know, but it wasn't in form
-
of the flesh, like us or like my dogs.
-
Okay, so how many people saw this?
-
I was in the front car and she was in
-
the back car. I'm the only one who saw that
-
as far as I know.
-
So you saw it on the side of the road
-
you went through.
-
No, No, it crossed in front of me before I
-
turned in.
-
And the person behind you, in the car behind you,
-
did not see it.
-
No, she didn't see it.
-
And it was way too big for her to miss it.
-
Was what Janette see it? She didn't turn the corner.
-
She said, how could I see it? But it was
-
when I was in the turn. It was actually cutting
-
in front of me when I made my turn. It
-
was in the turn, but it was right there as
-
you turn in.
-
So so what you're saying is is it was close
-
enough to your proximity that it altered your turn.
-
Yeah, I slowed down the look. I was trying to
-
get a good look at it because it was something
-
out of it. I never seen anything that big. And
-
it was also moving. It wasn't moving like a deer.
-
It was moving in very slow motion. It wasn't moving fast.
-
It intentionally it made you intentionally slow. It made you
-
intentionally decrease your inertia into the turn. You mean slow down? Yes, well,
-
simplistically put yes, but it made you It altered your inertia.
-
It wanted you to slow way down. Not only slow
-
way down. Your foot was on the break through the
-
entire length of the turn.
-
Right, probably, so I'm pretty cut anyway.
-
Whereas if normally you wouldn't normally do that, would you, darling?
-
You would break into the turn. Once you're about halfway through,
-
you let off off the brake and reapply the gas. Right,
-
you put your foot on the gas ready to increase
-
in speed. You never ride the brake all the way
-
through the turn, do you, I don't think so. No, No,
-
because nobody does.
-
So.
-
It intentionally wanted to limit your inertia through the entirety
-
of the turn. So I don't know what was going
-
to happen, but I do know what happened. Nothing. Yeah,
-
you were going slow enough, you were going you know,
-
you have no idea. This could have been about your
-
tirod end. This is at night too, well, it could
-
have been something mechanically with the car. If you would
-
have not done so, if you would have loud to
-
maintain your inertia through the entirety of that turn like
-
you normally do. You never know that. It could have
-
been just right and your tyrod in would have broke,
-
making your wheel. Well, it could have been very catastrophic. Yeah,
-
but I know what happened nothing. You're saying absolutely nothing happened. Yeah,
-
altered it altered what you were doing.
-
You didn't you.
-
Through the side of safety. You saw it. It made
-
you slow way down and slow into the turn. You
-
rode your break through the turn.
-
You always ride your break through the turn.
-
Would you like to come on, whoever you are?
-
Yes, I don't know about you. But when I turn,
-
I keep my foot on the brake lightly. I don't
-
let my foot off the break until I'm past the turn.
-
I never do I do.
-
I'm a very slow driver when I turn.
-
That's Jenny dark and Darlene. How about you? Do you
-
drive like her? Do you drive like me?
-
I'm a slow driver. I couldn't tell you in the
-
turn when I turn it come into a turn, I'm
-
a slow driver, especially at night.
-
And the point being, once again, nothing happened, right, No,
-
nothing happened, and it did make you slow down more
-
than you normally would happen.
-
Well, it made me slow down me as I was
-
very at it right because it was it was very big,
-
for one, and then I was looking to see where
-
it just vanished to.
-
I was trying to see where it went.
-
You normally would have went what twice that fast?
-
Maybe not twice that fast, but probably a little faster, yeah,
-
probably a little faster.
-
Yeah. And the end result again was absolutely nothing, Yes,
-
whereas if you had been going faster, something could have happened,
-
much like I just described the mechanical failure of your
-
tirode end. Yeah, So slowing down had no bad effect
-
on you at all. No, what's the problem.
-
Nothing, It's just you just all looked unusual and that's all. Oh,
-
I don't usually see things.
-
Well, absolutely, I mean, don't we agree? That's exactly what
-
an angel would have done. Yeah, you have no business.
-
I mean really, if you would have saw an angel,
-
you probably would have been all badly like everybody else
-
and wanted to talk to it.
-
Right.
-
No, No, if it had a if it had a
-
single mission to slow you down into that turn, that's
-
exactly what happened.
-
Yeah.
-
Now, this is just the exact opposite of what happened
-
with Hammy, isn't it. These people stopped, got out of
-
the car, went over the overpass to the interstate. They
-
were acting extremely foolishly. That's exactly the opposite thing that
-
happened to you. You were you were acting extremely cautiously.
-
I would say that the big denominator in this situation
-
is Christians and non Christians because whatever it was, and
-
I appreciate if anybody thinks it was a dog, or
-
if anybody thinks it was a stag, I'm amused by that.
-
What happened is the Christian acting extremely cautiously and the
-
unsaved acting extremely foolishly, putting in harm's way. And that's
-
exactly what I would expect to have happened. And haven't
-
I said this multiple times? Going into this season, you
-
will have your perceptions altered. I've said that many times
-
since twenty twenty. I've said that many times. Remember how
-
when one of us came on one time and they
-
told everybody that was in a fellowship as well. They
-
told everybody how they were driving down the road on
-
the way to work and a glass their coffee cup
-
went off of the top of their car. They saw,
-
did the rear view mirror go down the back windshield?
-
They saw it hit the ground and shatter. They pulled
-
over the car. They walked back and guess what, nothing
-
was there. Matter of fact, this conversation would have happened
-
about two years ago. Now, they swore, and I believe
-
their testimony. All of you believe their testimony as they
-
are a minister here at Maranatha Ministries. They were dumbfound it.
-
They said, they were late to work. I saw it
-
hit the ground, I saw it shatter. He stopped the
-
vehicle went back because he didn't want anybody popping their
-
tires because it's porcelain. Was this coffee cup? He said.
-
He goes back. There's no coffee, there's no nothing. It's gone.
-
But yet he stopped pulled over. The operative word in
-
his tale was this to me? He only said one
-
thing late. It was not in God's design for him
-
to be on time. That probably means he wouldn't have
-
been there at all, because the one thing where God
-
holds lordship over everything that he created is that very
-
thing time. Normally, he will just quite simply put you
-
in the right place in the right time. Obviously, this
-
person was at the right place at the right time,
-
and all he needed to see was, oh, my goodness,
-
I left my coffee cup on top of the car
-
and took off and went to work. Do you know
-
what happened, don't you? Same thing happened to Darlene. Nothing,
-
nothing happened. He was just at the right place the
-
right time. That's what God does. Now, I'll tell you
-
what your enemy does. It'll make you do something stupid
-
like get out of the car at an intersection and
-
run up over and overpass and look down at the interstate.
-
You know that's illegal, by the way, that's the illegal. Now,
-
the Holy Spirit will never prompt you to do anything illegal.
-
Did you know that. Let's say you're hungry. The Holy
-
Spirit will never prompt you to steal an apple. You
-
want to know why, because if needs be he can
-
just have the ravens pick you an apple and bring
-
it to you. So, going forward, I'm just going to
-
have to remind you of what I've reminded you all before.
-
Expect your perceptions to be altered, both your sight and
-
you're hearing and your touch. Expect even your taste to
-
be altered. And it better be. It better be. Do
-
you know what's the number one way that people have
-
been assassinated in all of time? I mean, I know
-
most of you are wanting to say the big, color
-
full stuff like like a sniper. No, I mean how
-
long have snipers actually existed? How long have rifles actually existed? Yeah?
-
The number one way we can prove this with history
-
is poison. What's the best way for an angel to
-
get you to spit out poison? That's pretty easy with me.
-
Make it the taste of a sour apple. I hate
-
the taste of sour. I will spit it out. I mean,
-
ask my wife. There's two types of apples that I
-
will eat that my wife brings home because I know
-
what they are, Red delicious and yellow delicious. Any other apple,
-
if I bite into it and it's sour, it goes
-
into trash. So an angel don't have to do any
-
type of magical thing. He just can touch my psyche
-
and rewire the neural pathways and make me think it's
-
a sour apple that I've just bit into, and I'll
-
spit it out because I ain't gonna chew it up.
-
If I just bite into a sour apple, my teeth
-
come back out of it and into the trash it goes.
-
Let me say that again so you can look this
-
up later and prove it to yourself. The number one
-
way people have been assassinated in all of history is poisoning.
-
This is why. It's a matter of archaeological fact. All
-
the ancient royalty had in their employ cup bearers. That's why. Yep,
-
that's why. So it's a very easy thing to do
-
for an angel to protect you by altering your perception.
-
That's the exact opposite that your enemy does. For example,
-
most of you are going to get upset with me.
-
That's beside the point. I don't care. This is the truth.
-
I once had somebody tell me that a certain individual
-
had played a prank on everybody. They were a real prankster.
-
It was a tragedy, a horrible horrible tragedy because this
-
person loved to play pranks on everybody. So one day
-
he decided to play a prank and well, he committed suicide.
-
And the person relaying to me this message said it
-
was by accident. He didn't really mean to hang himself.
-
I'll just let that sink in. I'll just let that
-
think in. So you need to start putting your faith
-
in God. And when you see something that's really strange
-
makes you alter your course, don't focus on it, don't
-
pay it any mind. It's just one of your servants
-
doing their job. And be very careful if you should
-
laugh at them, because you most assuredly won't do it twice.
-
So don't be surprised if people around you see things
-
that you don't, and you see things that they don't,
-
and later when you talk to them about it, they're like,
-
what are you talking about? I never see no stag?
-
What are you talking about? I never see no dog.
-
I mean, they might go on and on about seeing
-
I don't know ufo and you're just shaking your head
-
at them, thinking, well, that's nice because I was there too,
-
and I didn't see no ufo. Don't be surprised. Remember,
-
the entire Book of Revelation was nothing but a projection
-
into John's mind by the angel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
That's what really happened. John never left his prison cell
-
on the isle of Patmos. He never left it. Now,
-
that's straight from the mouth of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
He said that. He said that he sent his angel
-
to come you neckate this to his servant John. So
-
you should expect these types of things happening, especially once
-
the four spirits of Heaven starts stirring things up. You
-
should expect it. Yeah, But like I said, it's not
-
the first time I've discussed these things with you. It's
-
not the first time. I think.
-
That's why I brought this up, because I'm thinking that
-
this is something stirring up. We're starting, We're gonna start
-
seeing more and more of this stuff.
-
I hope. So of course I got big hopes, but
-
I hope. So, I mean, really I do. But you know,
-
most people think I'm crazy because I want Simon's assurance.
-
I mean, just so you won't know, I prayed for
-
this multiple times today. I don't care about my retirement.
-
It is my firm desire that I never get to
-
collect social Security. I firmly, and I assuredly, and I
-
have always wanted my eyes to see the coming of Christ.
-
You can have your retirement, I don't. You can have mine.
-
Multiple times today I asked the Lord if I could
-
have Simian's assurance. When's the last time you ever heard
-
a pastor say that from the pulpit? Hey, you all
-
shouldn't be wanting your team to win the Super Bowl.
-
You should be wanting to see the return of the
-
Lord Jesus Christ, because that's your blessed hope. Darlene, when's
-
the last time you heard that from a pulpit?
-
I haven't heard it.
-
You haven't heard it have yet? So like in my memory,
-
this isn't your first rodeo though, right, I mean you've
-
went to church for quite a long time, right, like eight? Yes,
-
So how long have you been a Christian? Darling?
-
Well again, my life to the Lord when I was
-
twelve or thirteen.
-
And you've never heard this from the pulpit.
-
Not to that, and I remember, No.
-
Somebody's going to be judged for that. But let me
-
not make that same mistake. Just so you all know
-
what your blessed hope is. Your blessed hope lies in
-
the physical return of the Lord Jesus Christ. That's your
-
blessed hope, no matter if you're dead or alive. If
-
you're dead, you will take part in the resurrection at
-
this return. If you are alive, you will take part
-
in what the entertainment industry calls the rapture. That's not
-
what the Bible calls it, but I appreciate that it
-
calls it the lgoism fear in Greek. Write that down
-
if you can. That's your blessed hope. It is the
-
return in bodily thought, physically of the Lord Jesus Christ,
-
at which point he will set on a throne here
-
on earth and his father will take up his throne
-
in heaven. So God will be on both rooms, one
-
in heaven. What on earth. I'm telling you the truth.
-
Look it up. You should not want or desire anything else,
-
because at that time you will have your anastasis anatomy.
-
Do you know what that means? You don't, do you
-
because you've never heard it from the pulpit, Darlene. Right
-
now you're occupying an old galoppe. Now you said that
-
you got saved. You're about twelve or thirteen, and back then,
-
oh my goodness, you were a bright, shiny, brand new
-
right off the showroom floor, right, I guess. But now
-
you're not quite so shiny, and you're not so new. Well,
-
are you calling me a old Gelope? That's exactly what
-
I'm calling you, because that's what I am. And everybody
-
needs to realize that when you get your anastasis what
-
is anastasis in Greek? You need to understand that the
-
Bible's not written in English, it's written in quinine of Greek.
-
Getting your new body, that's.
-
Right, brand spank. He knew that the laws of physics
-
cannot be applied to it. Entropy will hold no sway
-
on your anastasis anatomy. Your resurrected body won't get old,
-
you won't need tear ducts. That's your blessed hope. It
-
only comes at one single event, the bodily return of
-
the Lord Jesus Christ. That's when your blessed hope happens.
-
It doesn't happen any other time. Now, you know there
-
is one perk. If you are dead, you get it first.
-
But you know, the most recent sermon that I heard
-
was not a sermon. It was done by a Well,
-
it was a motivational speaker. My wife was very upset
-
because she said, this is scatterbrained. Of course, a scatterbrain,
-
because he began the whole thing saying what it was.
-
He told you from the very beginning. Now, I know
-
this sounds like a motivational speaker, but here's eleven points
-
to YadA, YadA, YadA, YadA. And my wife was very
-
confused because the sermon was not done exegetically. Do you
-
know what that means or are you confused again? Exogetically
-
means that you take a chapter and you preach it. Yeah,
-
she was very upset because he gives these all these
-
different cross references. He'd give a verse averse, a verse,
-
a verse averse. There was not a single stanza in
-
the entire thing he put about. Oh, I would say
-
sixty in individual cross references in my life. You know.
-
Upset my wife and I said, well, it did so
-
subconsciously because you knew what he was doing. This was
-
a motivational speech, and he was peacemeilling verses to go
-
with what he was saying. What he was saying was
-
not lining up with scripture. He was doing it backwards.
-
So she said, yeah, you're right, it was just it
-
was scatterbrained. Of course, he had all kinds of points.
-
He had all kinds of list. I mean, during that
-
sermony he gave three different lists. I was not impressed.
-
But the single one of them I appreciate. He has
-
a church of thirteen thousand people. I appreciate that. We'll
-
see how that works out at the beams, see, because
-
everything that come out of his mouth was cracked. Do
-
you want to know why I know the be attitudes?
-
Does that offend you? I said? Does that offend you?
-
You don't know what the beattitudes are. You don't know
-
where they're at. Let me guess your shepherd never instructed yous.
-
The most important piece of scripture that a child could know.
-
It's in Matthew chapter five. It's called the Beatitudes. And
-
believe me when I say, blessed are those who mourn? Now,
-
that god hater given that motivational speech. He said, this
-
was a cursed You're not supposed to mourn. This says
-
blessed are the poor in spirit? Oh. He gnashed his
-
teeth at that. No, you're supposed to be You're supposed
-
to understand that there's power and positive thinking. No, that's
-
a lie. I know what come out of the mouth
-
of God the sun. Blessed are the meek, for they
-
shall inherit the earth. This single verse is diametrically opposed
-
to everything that come out of that god eater's mouth.
-
I don't care how many doctorate he has. It's amazing
-
how the Holy Spirit can reach out and cut you,
-
isn't it. It's amazing how when the Holy Spirit moves,
-
doesn't matter if you're in a different state or on
-
a different planet. When the Holy Spirit moves, it knows
-
exactly the right thing to say, the right of your cage.
-
And I, for one, I'm thankful for that because it
-
means there's hope. It means there's hope for you. This
-
I know. Blessed are the poor in spirit? Not?
-
I know.
-
So if you start seeing funny things, well, if you
-
start hearing funny things, if you start tasting funny things
-
that just aren't right, you might want to take the
-
time to bless the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Do you know how to do that? Or let me guess.
-
Your Sunday school teacher never taught you that, never taught
-
you to bless the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
They do. Let me ask you something. Now, I know
-
this is a hypothetical situation, but let's say, in this
-
hypothetical situation that God really is going to get up
-
off his throne someday and you really are going to
-
have to face him at a Beama seat event. Let's
-
just say, hypothetical situation, what do you think he's going
-
to say, having the knowledge that never wants in all
-
your prayers about getting more money and being able to
-
go to cancuon on vacation, and being able to go
-
to the Promised Land, and being able to go see
-
the Eiffel Tower, all those prayers, he never once heard
-
you bless the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hypothetically,
-
how do you think that would turn out for you?
-
Because if he knows every single hair on your head, past, present,
-
and future, you can be well rest atured that he
-
has every prayer you've ever petitioned him with kinda borically memorized.
-
And with that, I will ask, So anything else anybody
-
wants to talk about? What time are we at? Oh,
-
we're at the top of the hour. It's time to quit.
-
Got to hate that. But this is the Fellowship, so
-
we don't have any time limits. So is there anything
-
else anybody wants to talk about?
-
Matthew, do you mind if I ask a question for.
-
Jeanette for Jeanette of course, where Jeanette can ask it herself.
-
Yeah, let's find something.
-
If you see something evil, what does that mean?
-
Well, I don't know why you would think that just
-
because it was evil, it would be something evil, because
-
that's not necessarily case. For instance, for instance, Baylim, his
-
donkey started talking and started rebuking him. Now you would
-
naturally assume that's evil. An animal start talking and rebuking
-
its master, so you and me would say that's evil.
-
That's not exactly what happened. What actually happened was the
-
donkey was warning him that the angel was getting ready
-
to cut him down. So this is what happened. The
-
angel had animated the donkey to protect Baalim. So just
-
because you see something evil does not mean it's evil.
-
It is eliciting a response from you, if you be
-
a child of the living God, to alter your actions
-
to protect you. So that's a very tricky thing that
-
you say, what happened? If you see something evil, what
-
do you do well, do.
-
You want to you wanted to tell you what she saw?
-
I thought. She said she didn't see anything. Oh you
-
mean something, you mean a different time.
-
Yeah, she's not she's not talking about what I saw.
-
She's talking about something she saw. Yes, at different time
-
and at the time frame, I said, the frame my
-
other sister was. She came from Thailand, and my other
-
sister was shortly they're dying of cancer. Yeah, and Jannette
-
came from Thailand to visit, and she saw something in
-
my mom's house.
-
Okay, what what? What did you see? Janet?
-
Okay? I was sleeping and then I just for some reason,
-
I just opened my eyes and I was half asleep,
-
but when my eyes started focusing, I saw something standing,
-
something short. It was a round head with two black,
-
big black eyes, and it was like it was on
-
a stick. No shoulders, no no eyes, no I mean
-
no no nose, no mouth, but just two big black eyes.
-
And the head was a grayish sick color and the
-
stick was solid black.
-
So it literally it literally looked like a lollipop. It
-
was it had a stick.
-
No, no, it didn't look like a lollipop. It looked
-
I can't round the head was kind of kind of round,
-
but the it was it was tall. It was as
-
tall as a six year old. Okay, so standing there,
-
it's standing in front of me.
-
So did it have shoulders? So it had a shoulder line.
-
No, no shoulders and no neck. No shoulders, the head
-
with eyes, and it was staring at me. I could
-
see the solid black eyes looking at me, and I
-
was awake. Then it took me a while to focus
-
on it. When I when I when I completely woke up,
-
I got under the covers and then what no not mean?
-
My daughter was sleeping with me in the bed, and
-
we hurried up to turn the light on.
-
Okay, so you pardon, okay, so you're you're describing things differently.
-
So I thought you said you got underneath the covers.
-
Did you get underneath the covers or.
-
Did you tell got underneath the covers? And when when
-
I got the nerve, I heard it and turn the
-
light on. The light switch was beside the bed.
-
Okay, all right?
-
And then we slept the light on.
-
And so did your did your daughter ever wake up?
-
Yes, she woke up because I I I jerked when
-
I when I saw it, I jerk and my arm
-
flew back and hit her my I was we were
-
laying in bed, we were sleeping in my arm. I
-
just in reaction, I jerked back and it was but
-
before that, she she saw a shadow standing beside the bed.
-
I didn't. I was sound asleep that night and she
-
didn't tell me about it.
-
Okay, So were you one story up or two stories up?
-
You were two stories So how far away from you
-
were was the staircase?
-
Oh, it was down the hall.
-
So it was down the hall at the end of
-
the hall. It was not right in the middle room.
-
I was in the middle room, the middle room.
-
Okay, So nothing actually happened, right, No.
-
Just scared scared us, and it really I felt it
-
felt that I felt something. It was I felt a
-
bad presence.
-
Well, I would have to argue with you, now, a
-
bad presence would have done something bad. That's not what happened.
-
What what actually happened is it got you to turn
-
the light on. That's that's all that really happened, right,
-
mm hmm. Okay, So why was that positive? Well, your
-
two stories up, so that's that could have been playing
-
a major role. Why was your daughter sleeping with you?
-
We slept it we were sharing the bed because we
-
came from Thailand. I came to help take care of
-
my sister.
-
So you were in unfamiliar surroundings.
-
No, it was It was the room I slept in
-
when I grew up, when I was growing up, my
-
mother's house.
-
So your daughter was in unfamiliar surroundings. Yes. Is there
-
a night light?
-
No, but there was a light shining through the window.
-
Okay, how about in the hallway. Was there light in
-
the hallway?
-
No? No?
-
How old was your daughter.
-
In her twenties?
-
In your twenties? Interesting? Well, all I can say is this,
-
It couldn't have been evil because nothing bad happened. I
-
know things that did happen. It brought you up out
-
of r em sleep. Yes, it woke you up.
-
It woke me up, so.
-
For certain, for certain, it wanted you conscious for something.
-
And the first time when it happened to you, it
-
prompts you to turn the light on, which was very
-
positive because well people do sleep walk. Now that's what
-
evil normally does. Evil will have consequences, and normally what
-
evil will do most normally in the situation you're describing,
-
one hundred percent of the time, it will make the
-
person sleepwalk. That's the exact opposite of what this did.
-
You didn't do anything. As a matter of fact, you
-
got underneath the covers, so you didn't get out of bed,
-
You weren't trapesing around. You have no idea what was
-
going on outside the room because it had scared you
-
into that bed. Yeah, right, so you know, you never know.
-
And just let me say this. This has happened millions
-
of times. Millions of times there's been predators outside and
-
once they saw people walking around on the inside of
-
the house is when they broke into the house and
-
raped them and murdered them. This is a matter of
-
public record. This has happened millions of times. The only
-
thing that happened to you is you were locked down
-
into that room and you didn't go traitsing around. You
-
didn't go downstairs get something to eat, You didn't fall
-
down the stairs. It literally it encased you in that
-
protective square of that mattress.
-
Yes, so I would.
-
Have to say that I have known many instances just
-
like this where people got up, they went downstairs and
-
you know, fell down the stairs, they were sleep walking,
-
went outside, woke up outside.
-
I can tell you many cases of this because I've
-
studied psychology, so what happened to you was not evil.
-
It wanted you to stay in that bed, and that's
-
exactly what you did.
-
And we moved to another room the next night. We
-
didn't what happened then, and then what happened and that
-
was in that room. Felt that that was the comfortable room.
-
See the middle room my dog and I slept in
-
that night was the room I grew up.
-
Uh.
-
When we were young, preteen, like thirteen, we held we
-
had a seance. And since we had the seance, and
-
things have been happening in that house, like noises and
-
someone walking up the stairs, but no one's there, and
-
and my twin went on. My twin and I used
-
to share the same bed in that in that room,
-
and we woke up uh with the nightmare. One night
-
I saw a girl, a little girl, standing beside me,
-
and my twin heard the little girl singing. And that
-
night my mother also heard a little girl singing. So
-
that woke us up and we were we screamed and
-
at the exact same time and woke my mother up.
-
My mother, well, my mother heard the little girl singing,
-
and then and then my twin and I screamed at
-
the exact same time, and that was one.
-
Of my part. And have you ever cleansed this house?
-
No, we've never cleansed the house. Have we never?
-
Hunt? Never? But you soiled the house.
-
We probably did?
-
No, not probably you did. You said you you had
-
a seance, right.
-
Well, me and my sisters, my sisters, and I is.
-
So you soiled the house and you never cleansed it. M.
-
So we were playing. We didn't know, we didn't know
-
what we were doing. I think we had a Ouiji board.
-
So let me ask a couple more questions. So this
-
is your mother's house.
-
Right, my mother's house, And.
-
So your mother has poultergeist activity happening.
-
All the time that after that, yes, things happened.
-
So so to this day right now, she's having polter
-
geist activity in the No.
-
My no, my mother's not here. My mother passed and
-
the house just sold.
-
The house is sold in somebody else's hands. Well that's
-
too bad, M too bad for them. So yes, under
-
the circumstances, if and let me just ask you this,
-
and I'm sorry, I must apologize, and I know this
-
is a pointed question, but it must be asked. So
-
was your mother a Christian. Yes, so I expected you
-
to say that because your mother most assuredly had a
-
guardian angel. And the best way to keep those that
-
it cannot trust, you know, people that have seans, is
-
the best way to keep them in check and to
-
prevent them from endangering the Christian that they're watching over
-
is to scare the living daylights out of them.
-
Well that's what it did.
-
Well, then, praise God.
-
We were playing we were we were. I was thirteen,
-
my twin was thirteen, My other sister was two years older.
-
She has a memory of a Wiji board. I don't
-
have any memory of the Ouiji board. Yes, we definitely
-
had a Wiji board. My oldest sister brought it in.
-
I think we got rid of it after that. But
-
and things started happening after.
-
That, Well they should have started happening because you soiled
-
the house.
-
Yeah, we had no idea what we were doing.
-
Well, I for one am glad that, you know. I
-
for one, I'm glad. That's how do I say that politely,
-
because there's really no polite way to say it. I
-
for one am glad that while the perpetrators were in
-
the house, they were locked down and scared to do
-
anything else? Stupid?
-
I agree.
-
Well, praise the Lord.
-
I agree it was stupid. We didn't know better, We
-
didn't know any better. I think we learned after that, though.
-
Praise God. Praise God for that. Okay, anything else anybody
-
wants to talk to talk about?
-
Thank you?
-
You're well anything anybody? Uh, Jennifer, come on here for
-
a second if you can. Maybe she can't, Maybe she's
-
busy with kids. Sherry, why don't you come on here
-
for a second if you can't. Yeah, interesting questions you
-
sent me?
-
Which ones?
-
Which ones? The most recent ones? About the two sticks?
-
Okay, you'll have to refresh my memory.
-
Really can pull I can pull up the chat Ezekiel
-
chapter thirty seven and the two rods the two sticks?
-
Yeah, well, if I remember correctly, it says it very differently.
-
I was seeing stuff I'd never seen before, and.
-
It was very different in the lexum Sicugen right, Yes,
-
you know, let me read something for you. Okay, I'm
-
going to read one verse the verses that you sent
-
me out of the new King James version. Okay, I
-
mean it's not difficult. I'm not going to read thirty
-
you know, I'm just gonna read one verse. Listen very carefully, okay,
-
listen very carefully. As for you, son of Man, take
-
a stick for yourself and write on it for Judah
-
and for the children of Israel his companions. Then take
-
another stick and ride on it for Joseph, the stick
-
of Epriom, and for all the House of Israel his companions.
-
Did you hear anything strange in the verse?
-
To be honest, I hear a lot of strange things.
-
It's like I thought, I know, I knew it, but
-
I mean, I know who the two sticks are. But
-
when we're reading it like that, all of a sudden,
-
I was like, what, wait a minute, who is he
-
talking about?
-
Well? Take note. The first phrase is this the children
-
of Israel his companions. The second phrase is not children,
-
It says for the House of Israel his companions. Let
-
me say that again.
-
Okay, So I mean that's the sticks and I.
-
Hear that, uh huh, but uh the companions?
-
What is that all about? Right?
-
Like I just pointed out, the first one says, the
-
first one says something different, says for the children. The
-
next phrase says for the house. What's the difference between
-
the children of Israel and the House of Israel. What's
-
the difference. I'm getting a man, Well, write that down, everybody,
-
is Egil, chapter thirty seven, verse sixteen. It's important. It's
-
important that you know what's going on, because look, this
-
is the dead bang truth. This is a dead bank truth.
-
The Holy Spirit is supposed to show you what's to come.
-
That is the dead bank truth. So if you've never
-
had a teacher point this out to you, then hey,
-
these two sticks can't be similar because one is for
-
the children of Israel and the other one is for
-
the House of Israel. That's two completely different things. So
-
how could they be the same anyway? Unfortunately, now how
-
were to nineteen minutes after and it's time for Sherry
-
to take us out of here in prayer, So pray
-
away Sherry.
-
All right, Father God, in the name of Jesus, I
-
just thank you so very much for this time to
-
be together with my brother and my sisters and the
-
word of God and to learn and to I just
-
asked Father that you would prepare the ground of the
-
hearts to receive this word, that they should learn from it,
-
that it would be helpful to them, that would be
-
edification to them. I lift up all the peoples that
-
are trapped or that need help from Milton and from
-
this Heleen also, and I ask that you be the
-
husband to the widows and the father to the orphans,
-
and that you would feed them and clothe them and
-
shelter them. Father, and we just I just ask Father,
-
that you would really help us to buckle down where
-
the rubbers meet in the road, Father, and to teach
-
us to trust you for everything, Father, that we might hide,
-
that we might rest in the shadow of your wing,
-
Father God, and know that you are our strong power,
-
and to trust it implicitly. Father, I pray that you
-
would give us ears to hear the slightest whisper of
-
your spirit. Father, give us wisdom, knowledge and understanding of
-
what your spirit is saying to us.
-
Give us the.
-
Ability to obey you immediately, Father, no questions asked. And
-
I'm just so grateful for this time that we have together, Father,
-
and for every minute of every day that I am
-
able to fellowship with my brother and my sisters. And
-
so I just pray that you would prepare this word
-
for those who are to hear it, and that it
-
would be good for them.
-
In Jesus' name, Amen.
-
Amen, and Amen. Until next time, Ladies and gentlemen, God bless,
-
God speed. Thank you for listening to Marinath the Ministries
