Me this afternoon, and take note, I'm going a little
-
bit early, about 10 minutes early today, because, well, the
-
sun is setting earlier and earlier. I was hoping to
-
get out here in direct sunlight, but that's not possible.
-
And remember, this is region North Dakota, so winter comes
-
quickly and winter stays long. God bless everybody. Matthew Miller
-
here from Maranatha Ministries. We're going to speak a little
-
bit about prophecies And about promising. Because in the word.
-
These two are quite simply. Unseparable. You can't separate the two.
-
In the beginning. Of prophecy. Is a series of promises.
-
Made to individuals. This is a true statement. This is
-
a true statement. A prophecy. Is in fact a promise.
-
It is. When you look up. The dictionary term. For
-
these things. Take note that it is really. Quite similar.
-
And people just don't understand. That simple fact. So the
-
definition of a promise is a promise is a declaration, assurance,
-
or agreement by a person or entity. Somebody interrupted the
-
live stream. A promise is a declaration, assurance, or agreement
-
by a person or entity to perform or refrain from
-
a specific action in the future. So take note. It's
-
literally a guarantee or guarantee. or an assurance that someone
-
or something is going to do or not do something
-
in the future. That's a prophecy. The difference between a
-
promise and a prophecy is whether it comes from the
-
divine or not. Whether it is supernatural in origin or natural.
-
Think about what I say. It comes from either the
-
paranormal or the normal. That's the only difference between a
-
promise and a prophecy. So, with that in mind, I
-
hope that I've opened up your eyes just a little
-
bit to the scripture I'm going to talk about. Most people...
-
separate this in their minds from what it's saying. Do
-
not say that you're going to do something in the future.
-
This is one of the greatest mechanisms of our enslavery
-
to this world system. It is the calendar. It is
-
the clock. Literally, it is. If you schedule an appointment
-
you're prophesying that you're going to go to the veterinary
-
to get your animals vaccinated on such a day at
-
such a time. If you set any appointment, you're prophesying.
-
Come the birth pangs, don't do that. That's what these
-
verses are about. Now, great swaths of the institutionalized churches
-
whose congregants have not been born again loudly reject the
-
entire book of James. Reject the whole thing outright. I'm
-
telling you, it is the Word. And this Word is
-
very important. It ties into Bible prophecy. Multiple different places.
-
And if you don't know that, you can't see why
-
these verses are saying what they're saying. And remember the
-
Holy Spirit wrote this. Not James. Not James. James was
-
just being a scribe momentarily for the Holy Spirit. The
-
Holy Spirit wrote this. So I'm trying to get your
-
attention to understand that you need to realize this is
-
part and partial with the days of Noah. The main
-
pinnacle of the days of Noah is concerning the scheduling
-
of events. Prophesying. The scheduling of events. The number one
-
scheduled event the number one most important event on everybody's
-
calendar in every year is a wedding. Oh, yes, it is.
-
This is the number one most important scheduled event on
-
the entire planet. Next to that is graduations. I've said
-
all that to say this. Once you've studied psychology, and
-
knew where to look, this is literally common knowledge. This
-
is common knowledge. You have weddings. You have graduations. Then
-
you have dentist appointments, chiropractor appointments. Oh, yeah. This is
-
literally common knowledge. All psychologists know this. So when I
-
read this, please understand This is Bible prophecy, and this
-
is a dire warning looking forward into the birth pangs,
-
which Jesus Christ himself said. The birth pangs, Matthew chapter 24,
-
verse 8, they are the tribulation. Verse 9, this is
-
the lesser tribulation. After the abomination of desolation, that's when
-
the great tribulation kicks off, the final three and a
-
half years. the final 1,360 days, the final 42 months,
-
the final times, time and a half time. So, take note,
-
this has everything to do with the first four seals.
-
And I've got to say this, if you didn't check
-
out My last program. Please do so. You're not supposed
-
to be going here and there to make a profit.
-
It says during the birth pangs, once this gets started,
-
once the great apostasy is triggered, the word is trying
-
to tell you, forgive all debts and don't make any
-
new debts and don't make anybody pay their debts. Do
-
not engage in profiteering. Look, literally to have a business,
-
you have to falsely prophesy. You have to put on
-
your door, it's in writing, it's in writing that you
-
will be open at 8 a.m. Monday through Friday. Then
-
on the way to work, on Tuesday, you get in
-
a car accident. A customer shows up, your doors aren't open.
-
I know I reached out and touched a lot of you.
-
Now you understand what I'm saying. During the birth pangs, look,
-
let me put it to you this way. There was
-
no miracle involved in saving Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus
-
from the soldiers. No miracle. The angel told Joseph, get
-
up and take the child to Egypt and the mother.
-
Could the angel have wiped out all of the soldiers
-
that showed up at Joseph's residence? Of course they could have. Instead,
-
they just put them in the right place at the
-
right time. That's what this is saying. If you make
-
these prophecies that you're going to be here on this
-
day at this time, they will be able to lay
-
their hands on you. And they will, if you've been
-
born again, they will make a martyr out of you.
-
Thus saith the word. Thus saith the word. So, with
-
this in mind, let's get to James chapter 4, 13
James 4 chapter mention
-
through 17. I know I have your attention. I know
-
you've never heard this in this way. You put this
-
up against the Lord's prayers You put this up against
-
the birth pains, which are the seal judgments, it'll ring
-
in your ear. It will just make your ears ring.
-
It'll ring your spirit like a bell. From the New
-
King James Version. Why do we use the New King
-
James Version? Because the New King James Version has all
-
the verses that the Adido Regia Manuscript That's a lot
-
of words to say. What manuscript is that? It's where
-
you get the chapters and verses from. The new translations,
-
like the Revised Standard, like the New American Standard, like this,
-
like that, the other, they remove verses. It's the Adido
-
Regia manuscript, which Maranatha Ministries uses, because it is the Word.
-
It was confirmed by all churches on the planet. All
-
churches of the planet agreed the Editto Regia manuscript was
-
the manuscript. It's not a Texas Receptus. It's the Texas
-
Receptus that the clergy corrupted. So, because the KJV has
-
such strong Elizabethan English, people today can't follow it. So
-
that's why Maranatha Ministries uses the New King James Version.
-
I strongly suggest you get a copy of it and
-
start reading it, start studying it, start listening to it
-
on audio. James chapter 4, verse 13. Come now, you
-
who say, today or tomorrow we will go to such
-
and such a city, spend a year there, buy and
-
sell and make profit. Whereas you do not know what
-
will happen tomorrow, for what is your life? It is
-
even a vapor that appears for a little time and
-
then vanishes away. Instead, you ought to say, if the
-
Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.
-
But now you boast in your arrogance, all such boasting
-
is evil. Therefore, to him who knows to do good
-
and does not do it, to him it is sin.
-
Thus saith the word. Thus saith the word. Excuse me.
-
Now you all see how very important this is according
-
to Bible prophecy. Come the birth pains, you don't want
-
to be making appointments. You don't want to put anything
-
in stone. Now, does this include going to work? No. No,
-
it doesn't. You didn't make that schedule. The boss did.
-
So take note. I am saying what I said already.
-
Don't be making appointments. Don't be making appointments. These entities
-
will use that to their advantage and to your disadvantage
-
if you've been born again, because they're not going to
-
bother with churchgoers who haven't been baptized in the Holy Spirit.
-
Read these verses. Memorize these five verses. You need to
-
know that according to the birth pangs, this is like
-
the most important thing you could do. is read this.
-
And when you start gathering together, no one understand this.
-
Once you start coming out of the congregations, out of
-
the four walled churches that are going to make martyrs
-
out of you, when you start getting together in your
-
houses and meeting privately, Don't do it on a regular schedule.
-
I'm just telling you. And the time is coming when
-
every time you get together, you ought to do communion.
-
I don't care if you call it the Eucharist or not.
-
You better do it. Take these verses. They're just five verses.
-
I know you've never heard a sermon about them. I
-
know you haven't. I don't even know of any churches
-
that even preach out of the book of James anymore.
-
And I'm compelled to remind all of you that have
-
been born again. I'm compelled to remind you they are
-
only going to make a martyr out of you for
-
one reason. One reason alone. Revelation chapter 6 verse 9.
-
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the
-
altar the souls of those who had been slain for
-
the word of God and for the testimony which they held.
-
So these born-again believers, they reject the traditions of men.
-
They reject them. They hold to the word and to
-
that testimony. They testify that's the word of God. That's
-
what it is. It's inerrant. It's inspired. It's infallible. It
-
is this reason, and the only reason. They're not killing
-
those who have been born again because they're Methodist or
-
Presbyterians or Catholics. That's not why they're doing it. Thus
-
saith the Word. They only make a martyr out of
-
you for one reason. Now, take note. What does this mean?
-
What's the difference between a Catholic and a Lutheran? What's
-
the difference? Well, the difference is, is that in varying
-
different degrees, they do this. They either take from God's
-
word and they say, it's not true. This is true. Yeah,
-
there can be women preachers today. Or they add to it,
-
like penal substitution, like once saved, always saved, like eternal security.
-
The Word tells you what they do. And the Word
-
tells you this is going to provoke you into standing
-
up and saying, no, that's not what the Bible says.
-
And as soon as you do that, as soon as
-
you say, no, that's not what the Bible says, they're
-
going to make a martyr out of you. Revelation chapter 22,
-
verses 18 and 19. For I testify... To everyone who
-
hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if
-
anyone adds to these things, God will add to him
-
the plagues that are written in this book. So they
-
add to the word. They're theological myths. They add to
-
the word. Or, verse 19, if anyone takes away from
-
the prophecy, from the words of the book of this prophecy,
-
God shall take away his part from the book of life.
-
from the holy city and from the things which are
-
written in this book. So, beware. Beware what's coming. Accept it.
-
It's not going to be Muslims hunting you down. I
-
don't care what these false teachers say. The apostasy comes
-
from inside the church. A Muslim can't apostate themselves. So,
-
if you have been born again, if you have been
-
baptized in the Holy Spirit, if you have any encouraging
-
words or prayers, please put them in the comments. Please

Use this video to sow seeds. And I hope that
-
you hope in your redemption, not your retirement. Because that
-
is what makes all the difference in the world. Until
-
next time, God bless. Godspeed.
