The following is the second in a series of messages by guest minister, reverend Joseph Morris.
-
It's good to be in church on Saturday night, man.
-
This is wonderful to see so many people come last night tonight.
-
Thank you for taking the time to come.
-
I know your life is very busy.
-
Everybody's life has got so much going on and, ladies, thanks so much for your worship so good and so taking the time to come hear the word.
-
There's something about having extra meetings.
-
You know it's just the Lord will do extra things.
-
When you do that, he just will.
-
It gives him an opportunity to strengthen us and encourage us.
-
And something about the incorruptible seed, the word of God.
-
When it's sown, it grows up and it becomes.
-
If you want change like, if you want things different this year, start changing your words.
-
I mean, in Genesis, six times, god said God saw.
-
God said God saw.
-
You want to see something?
-
Say something.
-
Amen, praise the Lord.
-
I heard Brother Hagin for the first time in 1970.
-
My mother took me to this church called Life Tabernacle in Shreveport, louisiana.
-
I didn't even know it was the headquarters of the Voice of Healing.
-
The guy from Texas there had come over to manage William Branham's ministry because Branham had so many miracles.
-
They had 10,000-seat tents that filled up AA Allen.
-
They had meetings where they had a baby.
-
They had a meeting in Birmingham Alabama, a 10,000-seat church Actually it was a tent and Brother Schambach told me the whole story.
-
There was a lady there that brought a baby that had no arms and no legs, had a hole for a nose, a hole for a mouth, didn't have any eyes.
-
And the lady kept telling Brother Schambach when's AA Allen going to pray for my baby?
-
And this is 1950, birmingham Alabama.
-
And Brother Schambach said I'll make sure, if your card's not called, we'll get your baby down here to get prayed for, you know.
-
So come time to the last night of the services.
-
Now this is the healing revival from 1948 to, I guess, 1957, something like that.
-
So this Brother Allen got up to speak and while he's speaking, all of a sudden he has a vision.
-
He goes wait a minute, I'm in an OB ward in Tennessee.
-
I see doctors around this baby and the doctor said the baby can't live, but it's alive.
-
In fact, I see you coming over the Tennessee-Alabama border in your car.
-
He said and you're here right now.
-
And Schambach started freaking out.
-
This is the lady that's been hammering me all week.
-
When are you going to pray for my baby?
-
When are you going to pray for my baby?
-
So Brother Schambach said I normally close my eyes when I pray, but they brought that baby down in front of Brother Schambach and Brother Allen and Brother Allen started praying for him.
-
All of a sudden he said it sounded like cordwood.
-
Snap, snap, snap, snap.
-
Little baby legs grew out of that baby.
-
Little eyes became swirls, got brand new eyes right there, got a mouth right there.
-
The baby was recreated in front of 10,000 people.
-
Well, how, I mean everybody's rejoicing, thrilled about that.
-
They looked over at the stretcher section and every single person in the stretcher section got up right instantly, made whole.
-
So, and it's weird how everybody knew to turn around.
-
They turned around.
-
There was a busload of blind people that couldn't find the tent this is in the middle of his service and they came walking in the back door.
-
Every single one of the blind people got their sight when they walked in.
-
So this church in Shreveport that my mom took me to to hear Brother Hagin, that was the headquarters of all that.
-
And what a move of God all these churches have come out of to get the will of God wrought in such a short period of time right here before Jesus comes.
-
Aren't we blessed man?
-
We're blessed, we're so blessed.
-
So God set our lives up.
-
We didn't just come to the very end of the church and say, well, it's good to be saved.
-
No, he wants to use you.
-
He wants to use you in a radical way.
-
Really, we should be doing the same thing Jesus did.
-
Now I'm going to preach on end times tonight, but I actually I'm going to switch some things around a little bit.
-
I had the Lord kind of deal with me about something.
-
But if I could preach on what I wanted to preach on tonight, I'd preach on the name of Jesus, if you could, or gifts of the spirit or power flowing through you, not just to you.
-
But the Lord specifically told me to preach on end times and I said I really don't want to do that.
-
And he says well that there would be so many teachings on the coming of the Lord that were scary and fearful.
-
And the whole thing about this is it should produce joy.
-
If you hear end time preaching, it scares you.
-
It's not Bible.
-
I'll say that again.
-
If you hear end time preaching, it scares you, it's not Bible, because there is no bad news for the church.
-
I mean, the worst is men will be lovers themselves.
-
And so we got selfie sticks.
-
I mean that's.
-
I mean, the worst is men will be lovers themselves.
-
We got selfie sticks.
-
I mean, dear Lord, what does Jerry Seinfeld used to say?
-
He'd say I've talked enough about myself, now you guys talk about me.
-
Do you know that he got saved?
-
A friend of mine that works for Joel Osteen says he called in the program.
-
A buddy of mine that works in Canton, ohio, at Mike Caminetti's said that Jerry Seinfeld called into Joel Osteen's church and gave his life to the Lord.
-
And I watched him the last couple of years how he's softer and kinder now.
-
And there's something about receiving Jesus.
-
It gets all that bitterness and all that hatred out.
-
So amen.
-
So let me give you a couple of testimonies, and we're going to get right into tomorrow.
-
So we're going to skip ahead tonight to the second coming in the millennium.
-
I'm going to give you the exact date of the rapture.
-
No, I'm just kidding.
-
Exact date of the second coming, no, but we'll skip over a couple of things and we'll come back.
-
So it won't be in chronological order, which I try to do, but tomorrow morning we'll get into the rapture.
-
I just thought Sunday morning.
-
That'd be a little bit easier to comprehend, because once we get into the millennium stuff, there's a lot of moving parts here.
-
But it's great, tonight we're going to get into what you're going to be doing in the next thousand years.
-
It's really cool because you don't really hear much teaching on that.
-
So let's pray, then we'll get into a couple of testimonies.
-
Father, we thank you for everyone that came tonight.
-
Thank you for your hand upon their lives, how you've guided them and led them to be in church on a Saturday night.
-
Thank you for strengthening their homes, lord, strengthening their jobs and their children.
-
And Lord, everything they set their hand to thank you that will prosper.
-
They all hearken unto you, lord, in a stranger's voice.
-
They do not follow.
-
They trust in you with all their heart.
-
They lean not to their own understandings.
-
All their ways they acknowledge you and you direct their path.
-
In their pathway there is light and there is no darkness at all.
-
So we thank you for that.
-
Thank you for a clear pathway.
-
People that are making decisions, lord.
-
I thank you.
-
They'll know exactly what to do deep down in their spirit.
-
They'll be led by you, holy Spirit, and they'll do your bidding and your call.
-
Thank you, father, for allowing them to represent the resurrection that, father.
-
Everywhere they'd go, they'd show forth that Jesus came out of the grave.
-
So that's what we first and foremost think of tonight.
-
Jesus, you died for us, so we thank you, we honor you, we magnify you that you gave your life for us, so we lift you up, lord.
-
We honor you in Jesus' wonderful name.
-
Everybody said amen.
-
I remember I was in South Carolina a couple of times the last few years and there was one church I was in a couple of times the last few years and there was one church I was in and I had a word of knowledge that someone had been in a car wreck and they hurt their back.
-
And then I had a word of knowledge that someone can't breathe through their nose.
-
Something got severed up inside their nose.
-
I really didn't understand what that was.
-
I called both of them out At the end of the service.
-
This big guy, literally seven feet tall, he came walking down.
-
He goes hey, can I say something?
-
I was like yikes, normally I don't know who they are, so I don't know what, because really it's not my church, it's a pastor's church, so I don't really have the authority.
-
I said, yeah, go ahead, he goes well.
-
I don't know you.
-
You could tell he was a little weird about that, but I don't know you.
-
I said, okay, he goes well.
-
My back is healed.
-
I said, well, good, praise the Lord.
-
He kind of freaked him out.
-
My wife is not here.
-
She just had brain surgery.
-
They went up through her nasal cavity to get to the base of her pituitary gland and they severed the inside of her nose.
-
She hadn't been able to breathe since then.
-
She said she was watching online while we were there and when I called that out she texted him and said my nose opened up, just like that.
-
She wasn't even in the meeting.
-
Against you, don't you love that?
-
God's so good, I'll give you.
-
I'll give you.
-
This is a.
-
God's so good, I'll give you, I'll give you.
-
This is a.
-
This is a crazy one.
-
You'll, you'll like this one, you'll like this one.
-
So I'm up in Boston preaching, maybe I don't know, 15, 20 years ago.
-
Lady walks up to me, she goes.
-
You remember having a word of knowledge about fingernails in Concord, new Hampshire, a few years ago?
-
I said no, and so that would have been about 30, 35 years ago.
-
I had a little surprised, you know.
-
But as I went to go pray for each one of them, I knew not the person that it was for wasn't even down there.
-
And I said that you know, sometimes you can just know.
-
I said you know I'm going to pray for you all in faith and you're going to get healed, but the person I'm looking for is not down in the line of the church.
-
I said, well, I don't remember.
-
But anyway, she said the lady that didn't go down was me.
-
She said I had no fingernail on my finger here.
-
And she said I was afraid I'd never been in a service where they came down and got prayed for, much less got out of your seat and walked out of the front.
-
You know, it was weird.
-
So she said.
-
Two days later she said, lord, you know I'm sorry I didn't go down for.
-
And she looked down and her fingernail grew in right there in front of her eyes.
-
That night her boyfriend asked her to marry her and put a ring on that finger.
-
So the Lord loves you so much he wants you to have your fingernail normal when you get engaged.
-
Now I go to that church.
-
She's pastoring a church in Liconia, new Hampshire.
-
I was actually going to be there this next week, but something happened.
-
I'm going later in the year, but I've been there three or four times.
-
She gets up and tells the story in front of her whole church.
-
God loves you so much he wants your fingernail to be there when you get engaged.
-
He thinks of everything.
-
Praise the Lord.
-
So grab your Bibles and let's get rolling.
-
Go over back to Luke 21 and we'll do about maybe five minutes of review and then we'll get right into a lot of fun stuff tonight.
-
Man, tonight's bonus night.
-
What do we have for them, bob?
-
All right, here we go, praise the Lord, and it's okay to have fun in church.
-
I don't know how it got figured out.
-
Different times over the years, prayers would come in and talk to me.
-
They go.
-
You know we're the prayers in the church and we pray all the time.
-
I said no, you don't, because if you prayed all the time, you'd be happy.
-
In his presence is fullness of joy, amen.
-
We're going to be so shocked that the Lord is going to be mad about stuff.
-
He's slow to anger and slow to wrath.
-
He's got the best personality that there ever was and ever will be.
-
Boy, aren't we blessed?
-
Okay, luke 21, verse 24.
-
They'll fall by the edge of the sword and they'll be led away captive unto all nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down or overthrown of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
-
So we talked about that last night, that Jesus goes, okay, when Jerusalem's won back.
-
Time's pretty much up and you hear Turkey's president Erdogan said twice I'll call on Islam, we'll ascend to the Temple Mount and we'll take the Temple Mount from the Jews.
-
And he said it, just like Lucifer did.
-
He said I'll ascend to the north and I'll go to the sides of the north and I'll be like the most high.
-
No, you won't.
-
So here you have presidents that want to take out Israel because time is up.
-
So all these different entities are coming together and they're all showing their true colors.
-
All these nations are why?
-
Because time is up, showing their true colors.
-
All these nations are why?
-
Because time is up.
-
Think about it, think, think about this.
-
And when, when jesus came into the mad man gadara, the demons cried out our view, have you come to torment us before the time?
-
And so see, they knew jesus was on a schedule, but he was early.
-
So if demons can know the schedule, how much more the church.
-
Come on he.
-
He rebuked the crowd one time.
-
He rebuked the pharisees over and over and over again because they needed it.
-
But the only time he rebuked the crowd was he said you can tell what the weather is going to be, but you don't know your hour of your visitation.
-
So he wanted them to know.
-
So that's why we get into end times is like we're finding out where we are in time, so we make changes, why?
-
You see the finish line.
-
Remember Paul talked about the baptism 12 times coming of the lord, 52 times for every one verse.
-
There is about the first coming eight times, more about the second coming.
-
So that's what we're going to get into for a little while.
-
Is the big deal the event where jesus bodily comes back to the planet.
-
We'll get there in a minute.
-
But skip down to verse 29.
-
You know the stuff.
-
Behold the fig tree.
-
Or look at the victory.
-
That's the nation of israel in 1948.
-
Israel has made a nation.
-
They've regathered and were born as a nation.
-
Like that can a nation be born in a day?
-
Boom, it happened 1948.
-
That's the most amazing thing ever.
-
The fig tree bud right there when they now shoot forth verse 30.
-
You see and know of your own selves that summer or harvest is nigh at hand.
-
Now.
-
Brother hagan prophesied there'd be a spirit of seeing and a spirit of knowing on the church, indicating we'd have an attitude of seeing and knowing.
-
In other words, we would be a generation of revelation.
-
That just means that we'd know things that are going to happen even before they happen.
-
And you would know about timing even before anyone teaches us about timing because of God living in you.
-
You would know about timing even before anyone teaches us about timing because of God living in you.
-
A byproduct of God living in you would obviously be joy, be peace, be strength, boldness, daringness.
-
How can you not be bold?
-
When you got God in you I said it last night Moses, when he came down, all that glory was amazing, but the Bible said that was no glory in relation to what you have in Christ.
-
And if you read the next couple of verses, then it talks about because of this, our tone of voice is bold.
-
You can't help but be bold.
-
Oh, I might do Elvis right there.
-
Man, you just can't help.
-
Come on and you know what?
-
Really, it's not bold, it's normal Christianity.
-
We just got so accustomed to weakness, amen.
-
When someone's bold, like oh, it almost chokes people.
-
No, that's not bold, that's normal.
-
Amen.
-
They knew they'd been with Jesus because of their boldness, not their coldness.
-
Who'd they been with Jesus?
-
Ooh, glory to God.
-
I think I might preach Hold on, here we go.
-
Verse 31.
-
Likewise, when you see these things come to pass, run into the woods and freak out and cry for no, what, wait, no, hold on, wait a minute.
-
Likewise, when you see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
-
No, it's close.
-
The next verse he really takes it to a whole other level in verse 32.
-
Verily, I say unto you, this generation shall not pass away till all is fulfilled.
-
Heaven and earth will be altered, but my words will not be altered.
-
So he goes.
-
Take verse 34, take heed to yourselves lest you be overcharged.
-
Watch this with surfeiting, drunkenness, cares of this life, so that day comes upon you unaware.
-
So the message Bible says don't let the sharp edge of your expectation get dulled by shopping.
-
You can get so caught up in what's going on in consumerism that your edge gets dull.
-
What do you mean edge?
-
Well, we were hungry for him.
-
We talked about when Brother Hagin had meetings, we'd stand out in the cold Sleet, would be going down the back of your jacket for three hours to get a seat, and then, when the doors opened up, we took off running and ran over people and got in trouble for running over people Because I thought if I'm going to stand outside the sleet in the snow, I'm going to get a good seat.
-
Well, see, here we see this happening.
-
Don't let that edge.
-
Don't let that sharp edge.
-
I had a buddy of mine when Ed Dufresne was in Tulsa, every Ed Dufresne meeting my buddy would get there.
-
If he started at seven, one o'clock in the afternoon, he'd be right here at the front door of the church.
-
Like this, just like this the church would go.
-
Now, we're not opening up till he goes, that's okay, I'll be right here at the door.
-
And that buddy of mine is probably the reason I'm in the ministry, because he had that sharp edge of expectation.
-
He didn't go to meetings.
-
You think I'm kidding.
-
I can tell you, service after service, where it would be five hours early, he'd be standing up against the door.
-
They'd go.
-
You'll be all right.
-
You don't have to be here so early.
-
Nope, right here.
-
See, hunger moves God.
-
He likes that we're hungry, amen.
-
So here.
-
This is wonderful.
-
This is a verse here that we were talking about last night.
-
That'll bless you.
-
This is the easiest way to understand end times and to understand the difference between the rapture and the second coming.
-
Now watch, look at verse 36.
-
Jesus says to those Jewish boys there watch ye, therefore, and pray always that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass and to stand before the son of man.
-
See, now he's talking to Jewish boys there.
-
I don't have to pray to be accounted worthy because I am worthy.
-
The tone changes after the resurrection.
-
Before the resurrection, he's telling them you better pray, that you're accounted worthy because you need to pray Once the resurrection happens.
-
We're born into this dispensation.
-
We're new creatures in Christ and I don't have to pray to be accounted worthy.
-
I am worthy Because the rapture is only mentioned in the epistles.
-
It's not mentioned in the gospels.
-
But I watch guys on TV put second coming verses or actually rapture verses on the second coming people and they mix it up and you feel like you don't qualify.
-
The big one is the ten virgins.
-
Oh, if you don't have oil in your lamp.
-
You're not going up.
-
He's not talking to the church there.
-
It's the second coming.
-
He's talking to Jewish boys.
-
They need oil in their lamp.
-
I don't need oil in my lamp.
-
I've got the maker of the oil.
-
So it has me try to say this about 15, 20 times every service.
-
He's not mad at you tonight.
-
He's not mad at you.
-
He loves you.
-
He wants to bless you, he wants to strengthen you, he wants to encourage you.
-
He's not frustrated with you, he loves you.
-
I mean, it's so extreme that it's almost hard to comprehend.
-
Because one of the times Jesus appeared to me he told me to preach on end times and I didn't do it.
-
I kind of did it a little bit and about three years later I was up in Hastings, michigan, and I'd travel all over the state of Michigan.
-
I'd stay down in that town in Hastings.
-
I'd stay in the house where one of my buddies lived.
-
He and his wife had this cool study, walnut walls, real cool fireplace.
-
I'd go in that room and pray in tongues and get ready for the meetings and listen to worship music by Sandy Patty back then, because she'd sing about Jesus.
-
I want songs about Jesus.
-
I don't like begging songs, I like songs about Jesus, amen.
-
So I would sit in there and then go out and preach all over Michigan.
-
I mean probably 25 towns all over Michigan.
-
I'd preach.
-
Well, one of the times I was in there, man, the presence of God just came in that study and I was like man.
-
I kept thinking, lord, you're just so kind and so good.
-
I felt his goodness.
-
You know.
-
I looked up and there was Jesus standing right in front of me, had a white robe on and an olive green sash, had his hands behind his back, sitting up against my buddy's desk.
-
You know how you kind of lean up against your hands like that.
-
He just looked at me and, man, I'm bald, you think of all the cool things you take and I get you a Diet Coke.
-
I mean, Jesus appears to Abraham and Abraham cooks him a steak, kills a cow and dresses it, and Jesus and two angels had a steak.
-
How cool is that?
-
So, but it didn't happen to me like that.
-
I freaked out.
-
But this is what I saw was he looked at me without any critiquing whatsoever, like I love you just the way you are, absolute acceptance, no judging, no critiquing.
-
Like that love reached out to me the next church I went to, I ran over the backs of the pews screaming he's coming, he's coming, he's coming.
-
So the goodness of God led me to repentance.
-
He could have said now, don't be a loser.
-
You haven't said a word.
-
I was supposed to say You're not preaching on end times.
-
But you know what?
-
I started preaching on end times as hard, as fast as I could because of his kindness and his love.
-
So here we see the difference there between the rapture and the second coming.
-
At the rapture we go up to meet Jesus in the air.
-
At the second coming, we bodily come back with him to the earth.
-
So it's going to be wonderful.
-
So tonight I want to skip over.
-
I'm going to flip around a little bit and get into the second coming a little bit and then get into the millennial reign of Christ and we'll get into the second coming for just a minute, because it'll kind of show you who you're going to be reigning over during that thousand years.
-
Right now you're writing your resume for what you're going to be doing during that thousand years.
-
He said if you're faithful over so much, you'll rule over 10 cities or you'll rule over two cities.
-
But the event, the big event that's getting ready to happen is this is the second coming.
-
We're going to be raptured.
-
We're going to go up to the reward seat of Christ, the marriage supper of the Lamb.
-
We'll cover that tomorrow and then we come back with him and man.
-
We're not in heaven very long.
-
The earth, the earth's going through the worst hell it could ever go through the tribulation and the great tribulation.
-
I mean the first three and a half.
-
People thought the first three and a half years weren't going to be that bad.
-
No, they're horrible.
-
The first few seals number one is the Antichrist, number two is World War III and the next one's hyperinflation.
-
Doesn't that sound familiar?
-
What's going on right now?
-
Those are the first three seals that's going to.
-
We're in heaven and I said it last night don't worry about the book of Revelation that you don't understand every part of it, because from chapter 4 to chapter 19,.
-
It has nothing to do with you and I.
-
The church is in heaven, going to the Lord's seat of Christ, merit supper of the Lamb and those chapters.
-
God's dealing with the earth because he's just, and he's dealing with the earth, that people that mocked Him and spit on Him.
-
He's going to deal with them and actually it's going to deal with them and actually it's going to be pressure put on people so they'll get saved.
-
But the big event is right then when we come back with him.
-
In the Old Testament it's covered each what we used to call a minor prophet.
-
They would cover it a little bit.
-
I mean you think of Malachi.
-
Malachi gives you a picture of it.
-
He said he's coming back with healing in his wings.
-
I mean Zechariah is the best one.
-
He's coming back.
-
I mean it gives you graphic pictures of the second coming, where the Bible says that people's eyes are melting away out of their sockets.
-
How many of you watch Raiders of the Lost Ark?
-
It was on today.
-
I watched that.
-
I watched where their sockets got.
-
That's from Zechariah 14.
-
That's pretty dramatic.
-
So each one of those prophets got a different view.
-
What was Joel's view?
-
Joel said sound an alarm, wake everybody up.
-
God's coming to the planet.
-
So each one of those guys, habakkuk.
-
Habakkuk said he had shafts of light coming out of his side.
-
There was the hiding of his power man.
-
You have Isaiah seeing him.
-
He said who is this that comes from Edom, with garments stained in Basra, radiant in apparel, glorious in strength, See.
-
So they saw this second coming and how bold it was going to be.
-
Like, wow, wake everybody up.
-
I mean just the whole thought pattern that God's physically going to visit the planet and he's going to live here forever.
-
Think about that.
-
He likes the earth so much he's going to renovate it and get a U-Haul and haul heaven down to earth.
-
How many of you hate moving?
-
Isn't moving the worst thing ever?
-
God's going to move his planet down here.
-
I mean, think of the logistics of that.
-
He's like, well, I'll move my planet.
-
Wow, okay, so he renovates the earth and then he brings the new heaven and the new earth together there with the new Jerusalem.
-
We'll get into all that a little bit further tonight as we get into it.
-
But see, these are the different views of it.
-
So let's go look at Matthew 24.
-
Let's look at it.
-
Man, I took too much time there, but hang with me, Everybody, okay.
-
How many still glad you came?
-
How many glad you're here?
-
You're not in jail, all right.
-
Praise God.
-
Better be in church, all right.
-
Let's look at Jesus.
-
Get into this.
-
So it's good to have Malachi and Joel and those guys talk about it.
-
But watch what Jesus says in Matthew 24.
-
In verse 27, as the lightning comes out of the east and shines even under the west, so shall also the coming of the son of man be so.
-
It's going to be dramatic.
-
Have you ever seen lightning that was Mickey Mouse?
-
No, I've had lightning hit right by me.
-
One time I was in Virginia.
-
It hit so close to me that I felt like electricity was going all over me.
-
And that was close enough.
-
There was even a window between me and the lightning.
-
I thought I need to move away from this.
-
So I've never seen lightning that wasn't bold.
-
So this is what Jesus is going to come back like lightning.
-
Verse 29, immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened and the moon shall not give her light.
-
The stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of the heaven shall be shaken, and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven.
-
All the tribes of the earth are warned like this, and they'll see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with great power and great glory.
-
So this is the second coming.
-
The rapture is a secret coming to get us off the earth, and this second coming is where every eye is going to see him, every knee is going to bow, every tongue is going to confess that he's God.
-
So go down a little further and he gives you a little more of what it looked like.
-
Verse 37.
-
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
-
For the days that were before the flood, they were eating and drinking and marrying, giving in marriage until the day.
-
So this is, with seven years of fireworks going on, people, there are no something's up.
-
And here he said it's going to be like this, that people will still want to try to eat and have dates and get married, irregardless of how horrible the earth is blowing up.
-
There'll be nuclear war like the world's never even seen before, I mean.
-
And yet everybody goes let's try to date.
-
Wow.
-
So in all of that time, with all that happening, people want life as usual.
-
So look what happens.
-
He goes down to verse 40.
-
He says then two shall be in the field, one shall be taken in the other left.
-
Two women shall be grinding at the mill, one shall be taken in the other left.
-
So that's not the rapture, that's the second coming where the wicked are taken off the earth.
-
At the rapture, the righteous go up to meet Jesus.
-
At the second coming the wicked are taken off.
-
Remember, jesus said I'll let the wheat grow with the tares.
-
At the end of the age the angels will be the reapers.
-
They'll separate the wheat from the tares.
-
So at the second coming he does that and those righteous people that make it through that part right there enter into the millennium and they start having children.
-
And when those children reach the age of accountability, you point to Jesus and go there.
-
He is right there.
-
You need to get saved.
-
So see what I want to get into tonight, as we get into these facts are you're not done as a Christian.
-
We're not going to heaven and get a harp.
-
Well, it was time for the rapture.
-
Where's my harp?
-
No, people think that we're going to be in harp class.
-
Every service would be training on the harp right now.
-
If that's what it's going to be, no, I just believe I won't even ever touch a harp.
-
I purpose in my heart not to do that, because the devil's taught people, especially young people, that we're just going to sit around and worship.
-
No, it's not going to be like that.
-
We're going to have duties.
-
We'll get into all that here in a minute.
-
But the main thing is that's what happens.
-
The wicked are taken off and the righteous enter into that millennial reign of Christ and you'll have oversight over them.
-
You'll be in a glorified body and you'll have oversight over the natural people.
-
You'll be implementing the kingdom.
-
We'll get into that here in just a little bit.
-
Go over to Revelation 19.
-
Let's look at another one on the second coming, because these are so bold and it's easy to get.
-
Is everybody still with me?
-
A little bit, everybody good.
-
Look at Revelation 19.
-
I know you know this, but it's good to go through it a little bit.
-
And then we'll get to the millennium here in a second.
-
Revelation 19,.
-
Look at verse.
-
Oh man, it's all so cool, but look at verse 11.
-
Revelation 19,.
-
Look at verse 11.
-
Revelation 19,.
-
Look at verse 11.
-
I saw heaven open and behold a white horse, and he that sat upon him is called Faithful and True In righteousness.
-
He does judge and make war.
-
His eyes were as a flame of fire.
-
On his head were many crowns.
-
He had a name written that no man knew but he himself.
-
He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood.
-
His name's called the Word of God, the armies which are with him in heaven that's us followed him upon white horses clothed in fine linen, white and clean, wow.
-
And out of his mouth will go a sharp sword that he would smite the nations.
-
Watch this.
-
He'll rule them with a rod of iron.
-
Now get that.
-
We're going to be with him during that thousand years and he has to rule with a rod of iron.
-
So Now get that.
-
We're going to be with him during that thousand years and he has to rule with a rod of iron.
-
So people that are born during that time, they'll have their flesh and even without a tempter, they have to be ruled with a rod of iron Because their flesh will go.
-
I don't want to do that.
-
And Jesus goes, wow, okay.
-
So God's going to let man have a whole thousand years without Lucifer there to tempt him, and man still chooses evil.
-
That's crazy, but we'll get to it.
-
But here this is just showing you here he'll rule them with the rod of iron.
-
He treads the wine press of the fiercest and the wrath of almighty, god.
-
He hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written king of kings and lord of lords.
-
Man, glory to god.
-
He overcame death, hell in the grave, and this is the point where he comes back and subdues the whole earth.
-
Every movie you see where the hero comes in at the end of the movie and saves the day, that's from right there.
-
That's where they get that, and it's sad that hollywood has more of a sense of change.
-
In the church they got zombies, dead men walking all this.
-
They know a resurrection is coming.
-
We don't know how to interpret it because there is some several resurrections coming and we get to go in the first one, the rapture.
-
Who glory to god, amen.
-
So this is the event god comes to the planet forever.
-
We'll be talking about this.
-
It'll be a day that's not known to, or night not known to man.
-
It won't be night or day and jesus is going to come back and the light coming out of his face.
-
The bible says there's no need for the sun.
-
Didn't say there's no sun, there's just no need for it because of the glory that's in his face.
-
Wow, we'll be going right behind.
-
We'll be coming right behind him, with him leading the way on those horses, and when we're up there in heaven, I guess we go to horse flying school for a couple of hours, and I mean you go to the reward seat of Christ.
-
Mary suffered the lamb and you know, I grew up around horses and all it was was work to me, which was cool, but it was work that wasn't that enjoyable.
-
I never thought of flying on a horse.
-
I mean, how weird is that going to be, man?
-
How cool.
-
We'll come back and Jesus will be leading the way and all the inhabitants on the earth is going to hit the ground.
-
Battle of Armageddon, where it'll be?
-
I was up on Mount Carmel one time and you look out over that valley, man.
-
That's the valley where it's all going to happen.
-
The kings of the east are going to come over the Euphrates.
-
The Euphrates River has been running dry because the kings of the east got to go over it Pretty crazy.
-
And Jesus is going to walk down that valley.
-
One of the times I was on Mount Carmel with a buddy of mine.
-
I looked down and I heard this jet spool up.
-
I like jets.
-
I could tell what it sounded like.
-
It sounded like a F-15 or F-16.
-
All of a sudden, this F-16 comes shooting out of a hole in the ground, came right over Mount Carmel.
-
The bubble of that canopy was so close to us.
-
I could see it and I told my buddy.
-
I said, dude, that just came out of a hole in the ground.
-
He goes you're crazy.
-
All of a sudden you heard another jet spool up.
-
There comes another F-16 comes right out of the holy ground.
-
They have an underground runway right there where the battle of Armageddon is going to be.
-
So this stuff is all real.
-
It's getting ready to happen.
-
Man, it's going to be.
-
All these nations are going to come against Israel and think they're going to wipe them off the map and Jesus is going to come back and stop war right there.
-
He's the prince of peace.
-
Wow, okay, go to chapter 20.
-
Let's go look at this.
-
This is the beginning of what's going to happen right after the second coming.
-
Jesus is going to set up his reign on the earth for a thousand years.
-
Israel will be the head of all nations.
-
We in the church will be implementing the kingdom with him.
-
But he'll be traveling.
-
They'll be, they'll have a press secretary and they'll the press secretary go.
-
Jesus will be in detroit from one to 3, and Jesus will be in Miami from 3 to 5, and he's going to come up and be right here at Lone Star between 7 and 8, and it'll be amazing.
-
So watch what happens here.
-
We'll see the start of the millennium.
-
Look at Revelation 20, chapter 20, verse 1.
-
And I saw an angel come down from heaven having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
-
One angel is going to bind the devil.
-
It doesn't need, doesn't even need, a team of angels, one.
-
I love that.
-
So he says in verse two he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil.
-
Satan bound him a thousand years, cast him into the bottomless pit, shut him up, set a seal upon him that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years should be fulfilled, and after that he'll have to be loose for a little season.
-
So so you see, jesus is going to conquer him.
-
He did two thousand years ago.
-
This one angel is going to take him and put him in that pit.
-
I'm going to believe god.
-
I've told you before.
-
I'm going to get me a violin.
-
I'm going to go over that pit, I'm going.
-
How are you doing down there, buddy?
-
You pit dweller.
-
And I have a few more choice things I'm going to do for him.
-
But I'm going to sing a few songs to him and go.
-
You know what?
-
I'm not in the pit.
-
I'm seated at the right hand of the majesty on high.
-
Think of it.
-
We were talking about it today.
-
Lucifer had the best position there ever was or ever will be.
-
He hovered over the mercy seat.
-
Lucifer's body was over the wall of glory God himself.
-
And then we know that that radiation came through all those stones and he got to thinking he was cool and an iniquity was found in him, but he was discontent and as close as you could ever be to the Lord.
-
So make sure you don't let anything get you discontent.
-
It cost Jesus his life because Lucifer got discontent.
-
Wow, it cost Jesus his life because Lucifer got discontent.
-
Wow, thank God, our Lord is so normal and so cool.
-
Amen.
-
So here we have.
-
I'm going to mock him.
-
I'm going to.
-
How are you doing, buddy?
-
So you think I'm not going to want to do that?
-
Hide and see Watch.
-
I'm going to do it.
-
Amen, all right, let's go back to Isaiah.
-
Go back and let's look at some more things.
-
I'm going to do it.
-
Amen, all right, let's go back to Isaiah, go back and let's look at some more things.
-
This is the start of the millennium right here.
-
This is when things are just going to be a thousand years of peace on the earth.
-
There's been a thought pattern that it's just real, spiritual.
-
It'll be natural, just like right now.
-
Longevity will be restored and there'll be businesses, there'll be football, there'll be roller coasters, the Lord told me.
-
He said tell them they've never seen a roller coaster until you see one in the millennium.
-
Now, see, it gets quiet.
-
When you say that, see, because we think it's all going to be spooky, god's not spooky, it's going to be a natural thousand years.
-
There'll be parts of it that are really unusual.
-
That we won't be subject to death, that's cool.
-
And because of our glorified bodies, we'll never get tired again or gain weight again.
-
Bodies will never get tired again or gain weight again.
-
Man, am I preaching to the choir?
-
Whoo, glory to God, wow.
-
So let's go look at nature.
-
Nature's going to be changed.
-
Let's go look at this for a minute.
-
Look at Isaiah 11.
-
It'll get better and better.
-
The Lord will give us more insight and remind me to talk to you about cities that have a humility rating.
-
We'll get into that.
-
Isaiah 11, skip down to verse 5.
-
And righteousness shall be the girdle of their loins, faithfulness, the girdle of the reins.
-
Now look at verse 4.
-
I want you to get it so you can see it, verse 4.
-
But with righteousness he'll judge the poor and reprove with equity the meek of the earth.
-
He'll smite the earth with the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips he'll slay the wicked.
-
That's what happens at the Battle of Armageddon.
-
He walks through that battle and says I am the root of Jesse, I'm the first and the last, I'm the brightness of the glory of God.
-
And the Bible says that the blood will be up to the horse's bridle.
-
So that happens.
-
And then we see right here the start of the millennium.
-
In verse 5, righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
-
The wolf will dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.
-
I mean, think about you go to the park and the kid's got a lion on a leash.
-
I mean, that might take a while to get that thinking out of your head, but it's going to be weird man.
-
Little kids are lions.
-
He said.
-
In verse 7, the cow and the bear shall feed.
-
The young one shall lie down together.
-
The lion will eat straw like the ox.
-
The suckling child shall play on the whole of an ass.
-
The weaned child shall put his hand on the cocktriest end.
-
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
-
So it's just going to be Jesus everywhere.
-
The talk shows in the afternoons won't be Dr Oz and Ellen DeGeneres, it'll be Paul.
-
Can you imagine Paul having a talk show?
-
Think about him interviewing Pastor Steve.
-
Think about Pastor Nicole.
-
Think about him asking you questions Like what was it like pastoring in the last days?
-
You guys will go, man.
-
We took your letters and encouraged one another and all of a sudden the angels will go.
-
Glory to God in the highest peace on earth and goodwill toward men.
-
He reigns omnipotent.
-
So you have a thousand years of movies about Peter and John going up to the gate, called beautiful, just all kinds of cool stuff.
-
What about prayer during the millennium?
-
He said I'll answer them before they call man.
-
How cool is that?
-
You know one of the times I'm giving you bonus stuff.
-
Just hang with me One of the times I was in Newtown, connecticut.
-
Barry and Sheila Fredericks are the pastors there.
-
Barry and New Yorkers, joe, joe, talk to me Joe, they're New Yorkers Great church.
-
I was there maybe in 95.
-
I was there since then, but in 95 I was there.
-
We were doing Sunday through Wednesday and I come Wednesday night I didn't know what to speak on.
-
I just I don't know, just a void there.
-
So I kept telling the Lord I can't just get up there and walk around, I need to preach something.
-
So I had the unction to play pin the suit on the pastor.
-
Have you ever done that before?
-
That's an old Pentecostal thing.
-
You bring the pastor down and you pin a $100 bill, $20 bill, $15, $20, whatever and you it's really a cool way to buy a pastor a new suit.
-
So we were doing that and people were coming down, they were getting into it.
-
It was cool.
-
We're pinning dollars all over him.
-
He's a real humble pastor, real sweet.
-
As we're doing that, the youth pastor walked over and I'm standing right there.
-
He said hey, I've got a check for your daughter, talk to me.
-
Well, my daughter does all this missions work.
-
And so I thought how cool Lauren's not even here and the youth pastor brought her a check.
-
It was like $25.
-
Right then a man in the back stood up and said well, I've got a Toyota Camry for the youth pastor here.
-
The youth pastor came down with $25, got a brand new Toyota Camry.
-
In the meeting People started giving things away between everybody.
-
Next thing, you know, I said, well, I want to get involved and there was a young man I saw on the back and the Lord told me to give him my fender strat.
-
I had a brand new fender stratocaster.
-
I said, bud, I have a brand new fender strat, I'll mail it to you as soon as I get back to Tulsa.
-
He started screaming come find out.
-
He had just told his mom the week before I want a fender strat.
-
She said you better believe God for it.
-
See the reapers overtaking the sower.
-
That's what the millennium is going to be like.
-
Now that was a rarity in this dispensation, but during the millennium it's just going to be Jesus everywhere, stuff like that happening everywhere.
-
Good, cool things, all right.
-
What's nature going to be like?
-
Go over to chapter 30.
-
Let's just look at it.
-
I know it's going to be a lot of verses, but that's all right, we can handle a lot of verses.
-
Look at chapter 30.
-
It'll get cooler and cooler when we get closer to your job.
-
We're going to get into your function here in just a little bit and once you see what you're going to be doing, it makes right now make more sense that we've been in a word revival and Holy Ghost.
-
Revival because you're tasting.
-
Of the powers of the world to come.
-
Glory to God.
-
Okay, look at chapter 30, verse 26.
-
Moreover, the light of the powers of the world to come, glory to God.
-
Okay, look at chapter 30, verse 26.
-
Moreover, the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold as the light of seven days.
-
The day the Lord binds up the breach of his people and heals the stroke of their wound.
-
Wow.
-
So nighttime is going to be like our day right now.
-
Daytime will be seven times brighter.
-
So you've got photosynthesis, you've got an oxygen-rich environment, and how cool is it going to be?
-
It'll never get dark and I'm going to love that.
-
I know.
-
I've told you what I'm going to do.
-
I'm going to go to St Andrews and I'm going to play golf at St Andrews.
-
I'm going to be from St Andrews, I'm going to go to Augusta, then I'm going to go to Pebble Beach, then I'm going to go to Hawaii and I might circle back around and do St Andrews again, because I'll never get tired.
-
I might play golf all night, because it won't get dark.
-
You think I'm kidding.
-
I have a purpose in my heart.
-
I'm going to do it just to prove everybody.
-
I'm going to do it.
-
I will think about getting on a motorcycle.
-
You show up in the Alps, let's go ride and ride for four or five days.
-
How cool that be.
-
See, jesus is extremely normal, normal, normal, normal, normal, normal, amen.
-
So the desire of your heart and I hear people all the time go well, well, I get to heaven.
-
Well, I'll be able to do this or do that.
-
What you like on the earth, you'll carry with you.
-
If you're into cool, if you play the piano, you'll play the piano better.
-
If you like to read, you'll read more than you ever read.
-
Your personality doesn't change once you get there.
-
It gets enhanced.
-
Nothing is diminished, it gets enhanced.
-
I believe I'll be seven foot four tall.
-
I believe in God.
-
I believe I'll be seven foot four tall.
-
I believe in God for that.
-
I believe in God for that, but I don't think it's going to work out.
-
I got my cards in there for that, but anyway.
-
So it's going to be so amazing.
-
Let's go look at some more.
-
You mean church.
-
Let's go look at church.
-
You mean there'll be church during the millennium.
-
Yeah, go to Zechariah.
-
You can find it by going to Malachi.
-
Go to Malachi and go backwards, because you've been to Malachi for tithing Is everybody?
-
Okay, I know you know all this, but it's just good to review it.
-
We'll get into all these things here in a minute.
-
Go to Malachi and keep going to Zechariah.
-
Remember, zechariah 14 is where the most graphic picture of the second coming is.
-
He's going to give you a little bit more here about what happens during the millennial reign there.
-
So in verse 16 of zechariah 14 and it shall come to pass that of everyone that is left, of all the nations which came against jerusalem.
-
So there's going to be people that make it through that battle.
-
They'll all come up to jerusalem.
-
There's people that will make it through there and get saved.
-
They're going to have to go up to jerusalem once a year to worship.
-
So here here he says that elect of all the nations which came up from Jerusalem.
-
They'll even go up from year to year to worship the king, the Lord of hosts, to keep the feast of tabernacles.
-
It'll be that whosoever will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the king, the Lord of hosts, even upon them will be no rain, wow.
-
And if the family of egypt go not up, they'll come not.
-
They'll have no rain.
-
There shall be the plague wherewith the lord will smite the heathen.
-
That come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
-
Now, how crazy is that.
-
You got people that that's during that their natural body people during that time go.
-
I don't think it's worth it to go go up to church.
-
The thing is, it's not that jesus is trying to be a control freak.
-
He just knows if they'll hear him preach for that one time, it will sustain them for an entire year.
-
Wouldn't it be weird if you bought a cheeseburger that you, okay, you're gonna eat this cheeseburger, you won't have to have another meal for a year?
-
I go, man, what kind of cheeseburger is that is?
-
It got plutonium in it, you got uranium in it, what is it?
-
So, he, he, okay, if you don't want to come to church, you don't have to come, don't worry about it, because you won't get any rain, because he knows how blessed they'll be if they'll come here and preach.
-
So that will be during that time.
-
So it's going to be a very, very natural time.
-
So what happened with Lucifer right now is right now, in this present dispensation, the devil has a certain amount of influence because Adam basically let him have it here.
-
So you have principalities and powers.
-
What Rulers of the darkness of this world, wicked spirits in heavenly places.
-
Now, where did Lucifer get that thought pattern?
-
He's stealing it from the Lord during the millennium.
-
See, you'll be a ruler over two cities or you'll be a ruler over ten cities.
-
Paul said why would you take something to court when you're going to be judging angels?
-
He's like he's trying to show you.
-
You have to start stretching here.
-
The cool thing is, you've learned the Lord's thought pattern through his word, not through feelings.
-
You and I will deal with things correctly because we know his word, not because we are emotionally led to do something wrong.
-
We'll go now.
-
You have to do this and this and this.
-
So it's going to be a bizarre thousand years where you're actually ruling people, almost like a pastor you'll be.
-
You'll have a sphere of influence, or.
-
But it will be joyous.
-
There'll be times where we have time off.
-
It's a thousand years off, so we'll be fulfilled.
-
You'd be bored if you just sat around and played a violin or uh, or what do you call this thing?
-
Harp.
-
How weird would.
-
How weird would that be.
-
Amen, all right, let's go look at a little more.
-
You okay.
-
You okay to run a little more.
-
Let's get a little bit more.
-
Then we'll get to your function.
-
Go to Isaiah, chapter 60.
Isaiah 60 chapter mention
-
It's amazing how, once you start seeing your function, everything starts making sense about what God's invested in our generation.
-
Here's a few verses we'll run through just to give you a picture of what it'll look like, and then we'll get right to your job.
-
Isaiah, chapter 61.
Isaiah 61 chapter mention
-
I'll go to 60, verse 21,.
-
A couple of verses before 61.
-
They give you a couple of things too.
-
Verse 21 of Isaiah 60.
-
Thy people also shall all be righteous.
-
They'll inherit the land forever.
-
A branch of my planning, the work of my hands, that I may.
-
So it just gives you a thought pattern there.
-
It's just going to be growth everywhere.
-
It'll just be amazing.
-
So, chapter 61, skip down to verse 4.
-
I used to think the Lord was going to come down like bewitched and they shall build up the waste places and they'll raise up the former desolations and they'll repair the waste cities and the desolations of many generations.
-
I used to think the Lord was going to come down like Bewitched Did you ever watch Bewitched when you were a kid, you know?
-
And she'd go twinkle, twinkle like that and everything would change.
-
I used to think the Lord was going to do that, but no, what he's going to let man do is rebuild the whole earth.
-
He's going and accomplishing stuff like that.
-
It'll be cool to see how fast things accelerate.
-
Even with the Lord here, man still is going to get to do his things.
-
Like I've said it here many times, russia I've been to Ukraine and preached over the years.
-
Maybe one of the first times was 35 years ago.
-
You walked out in the hallway and I thought who takes their dogs out in the hallway to go to the bathroom?
-
They said it's not the dogs, it's the humans.
-
Yeah, see, communism, you don't own anything if you don't take care of it.
-
So I know what Russia's going to do the first 100 years.
-
They're going to have a super soaker and they're going to be cleaning their country.
-
It's the truth.
-
All right, here we go.
-
Let's get to the part that's the funnest.
-
Let's get to Isaiah, chapter 65.
Isaiah 65 chapter mention
-
Here we go, we're going to get into your function.
-
We'll get into a little bit of it here before we close.
-
This is the cool part, right here, Chapter 65, verse 20.
-
There shall be no more than an infant of days, nor an old man has not fulfilled his days, for a child shall die a hundred years old, but the sinner, being a hundred years old, shall be accursed or he'll go to hell, it says here, and they'll build houses, they'll inhabit them, they'll plant vineyards, they'll eat the fruit of them.
-
So let's go back.
-
There's so much there.
-
He basically tells you that the righteous, natural-bodied people won't be subject to going to hell because they're not going to have to die, even though longevity is restored.
-
There'll be stuff that goes wrong during the millennium, and that's why he has you in a glorified body in the church.
-
Now watch what will happen.
-
Let's say you had a glorified me and you're all glorified and you got a natural body saint.
-
He comes in.
-
He's going to repair the top of your building there.
-
He gets up on a ladder, slips off and falls and breaks his neck.
-
You're translated there because you've already seen it.
-
It's called a word of wisdom, one of the nine different gifts of the spirit.
-
You're tasting of the powers of the world to come.
-
You've already seen it.
-
You're translated over there and you walk right up to it and say man, it's a good thing you lived during the millennium.
-
Rise, take up your bed and walk and you raise them up.
-
See, it's in you to raise people up.
-
That's why we're frustrated now, because we should be doing that more, because that's what your future is is raising people up.
-
I remember I I used to race motocross and we had this area where we did called the jump.
-
So we would take these, we take these hills up and do these jumps and we would mark in the trees how high we jumped, with blood all over t-shirts because we'd almost kill ourselves.
-
Thank god my mother never knew about this, but anyway, not one time did I ever get tempted to go.
-
Why don't we flip over on a motorcycle?
-
No, never do that.
-
But see, during the millennium you'll have a guy on a motorcycle.
-
He'll be doing a flip like that.
-
He doesn't hit it just right, lands there and breaks his neck, dies right there.
-
You're translated, right there.
-
You say, well, why wouldn't the lord stop that?
-
Why would he wait for that to happen?
-
And then have you translated there?
-
Because people will have what they say, just like you and I have what we say.
-
The guy will probably go.
-
You know, I'm nuts on this motorcycle, I'll probably break my neck one day.
-
There you go.
-
It's exactly what he has, but you're there to raise them up.
-
So let's just talk about a few.
-
Let me give you a few examples that are just easy to understand.
-
I got tons of them, but I like to land on about three, if you've got time for it, just a little bit.
-
One of the times Lauren was my daughter, was a senior in high school.
-
I wanted her to go with me on the road some.
-
So when she was a senior, I took her with me some.
-
I took her with me out to California, and you've heard the story before.
-
But when we walked into the meeting to the church, the pastor wasn't quite there yet.
-
He's a good friend of mine, I know him real well.
-
But as we walked in I had a vision.
-
I saw a guy look just like Robert Redford and he had his hands upside down, choking the pastor.
-
And I told Lauren.
-
I said this is weird.
-
There's a guy in the church.
-
He looks just like Robert Redford, he thinks he's over the pastor and he's got his hands around his throat, like that Right, and Lauren goes.
-
Dad, that's weird, I said I know Right about.
-
Then the pastor came walking in.
-
I said hey, how you doing Good to see you.
-
He goes.
-
I said hey, you got a guy in your church.
-
He looks just like this and he goes, that's right.
-
He showed me his collar.
-
He said look, I'm gonna undo my collar.
-
I have a rash on my neck because I'm under so much pressure from this guy.
-
They're supposed this church is supposed to start another church and that guy that looks like robert redford said I'm not gonna let you start that church.
-
Well, you know how weird is that.
-
So lauren and I walked into the side door, came walking in.
-
I saw the guy.
-
The guy sitting right over there Looks just like Robert Redford.
-
I said Lauren, there's the guy right there, looks just like Robert Redford.
-
I got up and preached.
-
He who looks like Robert Redford, no, I preached about the plan and the purpose of God on that pastor's life.
-
He's a builder and a planter.
-
Don't try to stifle that.
-
Bless him and help him and that'll get on you.
-
You'll want to build a plant.
-
You'll find yourself building houses all over your land, building three or four houses, going crazy.
-
Okay, what happened after that?
-
They started that other church.
-
It grew bigger than the mother church.
-
That's not the power of the world to come, that's tasting.
-
So tasting helped them start their church, helped them get their church going.
-
When Lucifer tried to attack him, say I'm not going to let you do that.
-
So see, that's why we're not done.
-
See, we think.
-
Well, we're going to be raptured.
-
We're going to go to the word seat of Christ, marriage, supper, lamb.
-
It's over Now.
-
You're going to come back for a thousand years.
-
You're going to be having implementation of the kingdom of God.
-
Through you, I'll give you anotheruma.
-
You ever been to Yuma, arizona, man?
-
Thank God we're not in Yuma tonight.
-
Amen, oh Lord Jesus.
-
I don't know if the Lord even knows where Yuma is, but anyway, I was traveling with this prophet years ago and we were in Yuma.
-
It was early 80s and he preached and I'm walking back toward the book table to run the table, kind of like you have the table over there.
-
You know, as I'm walking back toward that, I'm not thinking of spiritual things, but all of a sudden I have a vision.
-
I see the pastor of that church in what's called a push-pull twin-engine airplane.
-
You got an engine going that way, an engine going that way, and that plane is in a dive.
-
I saw the pilot trying to pull back on the yoke to get that plane out of a dive.
-
Papers are flying up everywhere.
-
I mean is freaking out.
-
And so I'm thinking, oh wow, I know exactly what this is.
-
It's called a word of wisdom.
-
I'm seeing something before it happens.
-
Well, I thought, man, I got to say something to the pastor.
-
You know, so we get, we're going to go to Denny's that night.
-
You know, so we're going to get a Grand Slam pancakes, bacon, you know all that kind of stuff.
-
So I'm thinking, man, when will I have an opportunity to do this?
-
So we're sitting there eating and that pastor goes, hey, I'm going flying tomorrow.
-
I'm going what's called a push-pull.
-
I'm like, oh my God, I started freaking out.
-
He goes, yeah, yeah, going in a push-pull.
-
And I'm like, oh Jesus.
-
So I sat there for a minute.
-
So I said, okay, pastor, I need to tell you.
-
Before I even came over here I was at the church walking back toward the book table and I saw you in a push-pull and you were in a dive.
-
I can tell you what your pilot looks like.
-
I explained exactly what his pilot looked like.
-
Remember, in the Old Testament, elisha said went not my heart with you when you joined yourself to the chariot?
-
It's like you're there, it's like I'm in the cockpit of the airplane.
-
And that pastor freaked out.
-
He goes oh God, that's what my pilot looks like.
-
I said don't be afraid, just find out what's going on before you go flying with him.
-
I left there and went back to Tulsa the next day and that pastor called me.
-
He said hey, I went out to the airport and check out on my pilot.
-
And my pilot had lied to the guy saying have all these checkout rides in a push-pull?
-
And that's how people have gotten killed.
-
They use fraud to fly an airplane.
-
They're not qualified to fly.
-
What'd he do?
-
Got another pilot, flew him.
-
Everything's fine.
-
I flew back to Tulsa, all is well.
-
See, that's not the power of the world to come.
-
That's tasting.
-
So I'm saying this because we've got this little bitty season, right before we're raptured, that he wants all the stuff you've been taught to come to the forefront.
-
See, he needs that wave of people in position, not just for the next dispensation but for right here at the end of this dispensation.
-
You're a crossover group of people that carry us into that next time and with that you're not done, you're going to keep doing it and you'll be so happy.
-
I remember one year, I'll give you two more and I'll stop.
-
But I was preaching.
-
Have you ever been to Oakland, iowa, not too far from here, pastor Michael Kallstrup?
-
His church is out in the middle of a cornfield.
-
They had to put rumble strips on the road because people would fall asleep and would crash into the church, because it's tunnel vision with all the cornfields.
-
You're just going along.
-
People fall asleep, bam.
-
I mean.
-
There's been several cars run into the church.
-
So one of the times I was there Sunday through Wednesday I was going over on a morning service and I thought, man, don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep, don't hit the church.
-
You know, I don't want to hit the church.
-
So while I'm thinking of not falling asleep, all of a sudden I have a vision.
-
I'm in a vision seeing Pastor Mike fly his own airplane.
-
He was in a Cessna 210 and he landed that Cessna and he got out and a young pastor came over to him and gave him he had an outline.
-
He showed that outline of that young pastor.
-
He said I'm going to help you not make some of the same mistakes I may have made.
-
In the vision I see him get in that airplane, take off, go to another runway this is a different city.
-
Another young pastor walks up.
-
He takes the same outline out.
-
He said I'm going to help you not make some of the same mistakes I may have made, boom.
-
The same mistakes I may have made Boom.
-
I'm back in my car.
-
I didn't hit the church, thank God, everything's good.
-
Got up and preached a little bit.
-
I say hey, pastor Mike, I got something for you.
-
If it means something to you, wonderful.
-
If it doesn't forget it.
-
I could miss it by a mile.
-
I said but you'll have your own airplane, you'll use it like a car, you'll go around and help these young pastors all over this region.
-
Didn't even know that Raymond was getting ready to ask him to be a regional director.
-
He got to be a regional director, used that airplane, went up into Minnesota, went up into North Dakota, used that plane like a car.
-
So see, why would the Lord do that?
-
Because he got up and said what did I say last week In front of the whole church?
-
He said I'll have my own airplane, I'll use it like a car.
-
I didn't even know he was taking flying lessons, sent me a picture of the plane and put it up on my refrigerator.
-
So see, he's trying to help the church.
-
He got up and said I'll have my own car.
-
Why?
-
Because some people in church are going.
-
Well, why in the world does he need his own airplane?
-
Because he's going to use it like a car to help these preachers.
-
So that's not the power of the world to come.
-
That's tasting again, see.
-
And so we're going to write our resume for what we're doing during that thousand years.
-
For what we're doing during that thousand years.
-
Let me give you one more.
-
Go to Revelation 20.
-
Oh, this is the part that's crazy.
-
It's 8.10.
-
It's not even late 8.10.
-
Look at Revelation 20.
-
We're stopping here in just a sec.
-
Look at Revelation 20.
-
I'll give you one more.
-
I could give you hundreds, but I like the ones I was thinking of.
-
This is a cool one I've told you before.
-
It bears repeating.
-
When Colleen and I were living out in California, we flew back to go to Winter Bible a few years ago Gosh, this is probably 10, 15 years ago.
-
And after Winter Bible we're going to go over to a friend of mine's house for a birthday party for my nephew, zach John and Michelle Grunewald, their sons.
-
I think he was turning 22 that day, I can't remember.
-
We go over to the house where the party is.
-
We go over to the house where the party is and, man, there's a circle drive and there's people and cars everywhere.
-
So we kind of pulled in like we could.
-
I said, ok, lauren, you and Colleen got you guys going that door right there.
-
I can't go forward because the driveway is blocked.
-
I got to go over that way.
-
So I didn't know, as I was backing up, colleen saw some kinfolk in the window and stopped.
-
I thought they were walking toward the door.
-
I'm looking back over here and I backed the car up and I ran over my wife.
-
Yeah, colleen is screaming bloody murder.
-
Lauren jumped out of the van.
-
I jumped out of the van, dogs and cats came running up, kids came running up and Colleen is laying on the ground screaming.
-
I've never heard a scream like this in all my life.
-
So I just ran over her.
-
I walked up to her.
-
I said I command your leg and your ankle to be healed right now, in the name of Jesus.
-
She looked at me like have you lost your mind?
-
I said, and then I said get up.
-
And she looked at me like get up, are you crazy?
-
I picked her up like that.
-
The power of God went up and down her body like a heater.
-
She goes oh my God, this is real, instantly, perfectly whole.
-
We're standing there, kind of just like what just happened.
-
I ran over you.
-
You get instantly healed.
-
We walk into the house.
-
My sister goes how are you doing?
-
I go meh, meh, meh.
-
I couldn't even talk.
-
I was just, like you know, just still kind of in shock over Colleen getting run over.
-
See, that's not the power of the world to come, that's tasting, tasting got her where.
-
She didn't have to have a pin in her leg, bolts in her leg, because she probably would have had to have all kinds of stuff done to her because she was crushed.
-
But the power of God went up and down her like that.
-
The next day she flew back to California.
-
I flew to Daytona to preach no pain.
-
She's jogging in the neighborhood with no pain.
-
Wow, so that's tasting.
-
So look at Revelation 20.
-
This is the last part.
-
Real quick, look what happens After all of this.
-
I mean I told you to remind me of the humility cities.
-
There's going to be cities with humility ratings.
-
Watch this.
-
That Jesus' press secretary is going to go.
-
Jesus will be at Birmingham, alabama, between 7 and 8 tonight and the natural people that are there you've got to sit further in the back because this city is very humble and he resists the proud but gives grace to the humble and there will be such a wave of glory come out from him.
-
The natural people got to sit way in the back because they can't handle it.
-
But if you go up to maybe California, maybe go to Los Angeles.
-
The humility rating is not very high there, so you can have natural people come right down the front, because there won't be an expression of the glory of the Father through the Son like that.
-
So you watch, it'll all be set up just like that.
-
Everything will be about Jesus, everything.
-
All right, go to the very end.
-
Revelation 20, verse 7.
-
This is crazy.
-
When the thousand years are expired, satan shall be loosed out of his prison Verse 7.
-
He'll go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, gog and Magog to gather them together to battle, the number of whom is the sand of the sea.
-
Wow, they went up on the breadth of the earth and encompassed the camp of the saints about the beloved city.
-
Fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.
-
There's the last rebellion right there.
-
So what happens is in a perfect situation, with Lucifer bound, god lets man choose light or darkness, and people choose darkness without the devil there.
-
So the devil's released at the end to gather those people that have rebelled.
-
How do you rebel?
-
How do you find something not to like about Jesus?
-
I mean, he's glowing too much, he's too bright.
-
What do you find wrong with the Lord?
-
It shows you how weird that is.
-
So there's the last rebellion.
-
Then, after that's when God gets that U-Haul, brings the new heaven and the new earth down to the earth, renovates the earth.
-
The earth's not going to pass away, it's just going to be renovated by fire.
-
He'll bring the new Jerusalem down right over the earth and people will traffic back and forth between the natural earth and the heavenly.
-
Remember what I talked about last night Jacob's ladder.
-
See, that will be right there.
-
We'll be going back and forth.
-
This will be called the King's Highway and you'll have listen to this, hang with me.
-
You'll have the natural people.
-
Oh, during that thousand years after that, they'll eat of the tree of life to live forever.
-
It's like Adam and Eve could have done if they would have done that, but they didn't eat the tree of life.
-
They ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
-
So during that thousand years, those trees of life that are on either part of the river, they'll bring forth fruit and the natural people eat that fruit to sustain them forever.
-
You won't have to do that because you're in a glorified body, but those natural people will have to eat of the tree of life forever and you'll have rulership listen to me over all the future natural generations, for eternity.
-
That's why the church age is so special.
-
In the ages to come, he'll show forth His goodness and His kindness to those that first trusted in Him.
-
You trusted in Him when you couldn't see Him.
-
They'll trust in Him when they can see Him.
-
So you've got a wonderful season coming for us.
-
We're going to be raptured, we're going to be caught up.
-
Go to the reward seat of Christ, marriage, supper of the Lamb, fly back with Jesus and for a thousand years you'll watch people on motorcycles, you'll watch football, you'll watch commerce, and it'll just be a glorious time.
-
Jesus, israel, will be the head of all nations.
-
You'll have right there the millennial reign shows.
-
The different parts of Israel will be ruled by Benjamin, be ruled by Judah, be ruled by all the tribes of Israel.
-
Right there, represented, they'll have their own section of land.
-
It'll be so cool and we'll go, wow, look what God did to promise to His people and brought those promises to pass.
-
Where they'd have such glory on every side.
-
Man, it'll just be.
-
It's so cool.
-
Like your heart desires and craves perfection, your heart desires perfect righteousness.
-
You'll have a guy try to commit a crime during the millennium and we'll walk through the wall and go, dude, wrong dispensation, you can't do that now.
-
Come with me, seriously, people will be trying to rob a bank.
-
You'll walk through the wall.
-
Seriously, you're going to think you can rob a bank right now.
-
I mean, people will do stupid stuff like that.
-
But we're going to have so much fun.
-
It'll be wonderful.
-
We'll have a blast.
-
It'll be fun, fun, fun.
-
Daddy won't take the T-Bird away.
-
Think of how cool that will be to never be subject to death.
-
Wow, that our lives will revolve around worshiping him and praising him and ruling with him and having fun and joy.
-
You're going to have so much fun.
-
It's going to be stupid fun.
-
You just feel like this couldn't be this cool.
-
So we're tasting of the powers of the world to come.
-
So you have a wonderful future to look forward to.
-
So, with all that, what do you do right now?
-
Pray in tongues more.
-
Make the part of you that's ready for all that get enhanced.
-
Don't let your heart be dormant.
-
Force, feed yourselves on the word.
-
Make yourself listen to YouTube, listen to Brother Hagin, listen to Pastor CF.
-
Force yourself to listen to the word.
-
You say well, I don't feel like doing that.
-
Now make yourself, do it.
-
It'll help you.
-
And then make yourself pray in tongues, because all of a sudden, we're going to be caught up and all that information you have, you're going to put it into practice.
-
There's nothing that you'll have done in preparation for it that you won't be glad you did.
-
