There is no one like you. God thinker of tremendous thoughts you are Thinking friend Towards me, God royal. Holy true, you are.

And there is no one like you. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah Welcome to Love Never Fails. In these last days, revival will come. but begins with our individual walk and personal relationship with Jesus. Let's join Brother John now.

Angels proclaimed. This is Brother John, and you're listening to Love Never Fails. And we're excited that you're with us today. Trying to get All my stuff organized because I'm doing something I've never done before, which is Uh at the same time I'm recording a radio show, I'm doing a Facebook Live.

So Long, short. Got a word I want to share this morning, and uh I hope it ministers to you. But it's something that's been in my heart for uh a few weeks now and I haven't been able to get away from it. And while we were down in Belize, we started talking about it. And the Lord has just continued to deal with me and even corrected me on a couple of things.

And it it really has a lot to do with Um what I'm going to call the Christian false flag. And what I mean by that is, you know, there's this expression now in which people say, oh, they're throwing up a false flag. They want you to look at this other thing that's going on.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, they're doing other stuff.

So it's like this parallel. Universe that they've got going on. In one hand, they want you looking at. what they're doing. And what they're saying.

And then on the other hand, here's what's going on. And that's really something that's been around for a while. And I guess Trump coined the phrase. Uh Fake news? But that has been in the word of God for 2,000 years.

Zachariah spoke about fake news, and he called it Zachariah chapter 10, verses 1 through 5, in which he said. That the people in the last days, in the time of the latter rain, the people, the sheep specifically, would be wandering as a leader or leaderless, and God blames the pastors and the so-called spiritual leaders. And so, something that's been developing in me has been this whole: what's really going on? What's. The real Thing, you know, and so one of the things it says there in Zachariah, and let me just read it to you, and we'll break it down for a second, is Zachariah.

He basically says in the time of the latter rain Or ask either for Rain in the time of the latter rain, and the Lord shall give unto you bright clouds. And I'm still going there. And I wrote about it in our book, Why Are the Fishermen Eating the Bait? And here's one of the things. Let me just read this to you.

Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain, and the Lord shall give unto you bright clouds, and shall give them showers of rain, and everyone grass in the field. For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams, and they comfort in vain. Therefore, they went their way as a flock. They were troubled and scattered, as there was no shepherd. And the Lord's kindle, my anger was kindled against the shepherds.

So he's telling you that. To break this down, it says in verse 2: for the idols of spoken vanities, false comfort, lies, and all of that would be really what we see. In social media. You know, back in the 80s when I was growing up, they had something called the talking heads. It's where all the news media and all these people would be telling you what's going on.

Now we have it in our handheld idols. And I'm not saying that your phone or your tablet is an idol. What I'm saying is the message of the idols is coming through those devices. If you're a prophet, you're looking forward into history. You're not looking back.

You're not reporting on things that have already happened. That's the problem with a lot of these so-called Christian prophets now, is they're reporting on things after the event happens. And so, really, they're just a day-late journalist, Christian journalists trying to get you to click on their thing to say, hey, oh, look what's going on. And hey, give to our ministry, do this. And the scriptures are very clear right there.

It says the idols.

Now, the interesting thing about Zachariah. Is there's only two idols in all of the Old Testament that speak. One of them is found in Daniel, the idol that they create that speaks. The other one is here. And the idol is not your cell phone, your device, my laptop.

I've got both of those sitting in front of me. The idol is what you see. Like right now, you're looking at the camera. What do you see? You see a talking head.

I'm a talking head.

So the question is, am I giving you false Hope. False vanity? Am I doing what it says here in Zachariah, giving you false flags? And am I bringing you comfort in vain? And so he sees this.

Zachariah says, in the time of the latter rain.

Well, we're going to talk about that today. When is the latter rain? Because you remember, Peter stood up on the day of Pentecost and said that in the last days, Joel said, in the last days. Isaiah said it, Jeremiah said it, Jeremiah and a lot of these prophets said that the rain has been withheld. Think about that.

The rain has been withheld. Why? Because people are following all these other false. teachings and all these other false doctrines. And They don't, therefore, the rain is going around them.

It's not hitting them. I can tell you right now, we are living in the greatest time of prophecy that has ever occurred, other than that span right up where Jesus fulfilled all that. There are more prophecies concerning what you should be. versus what's going on on the global stage. And that's what I want to address today.

See. You can talk about the global stage. You can talk about the war in the Middle East, the missiles coming down that look like stars falling out of sky. Remember, how would John know how to describe that if He wasn't a prophet. Because he's looking forward.

So if he's a prophet looking forward, he sees missiles falling out of sky.

Well, that would look like stars falling out of the skies. Have you seen the video?

So John is a prophet and actually saw these things 2,000 years ahead of time. Zachariah here in chapter 10 saw these things 2,000 years ahead of time. And so we can talk about, like John talks about the locust.

Well, have you seen what some of these videos of what they could do with drones? I mean, in the 80s, who had an idea of what a drone was? No, we were all talking about it was the Apache helicopters back then. They looked like locusts. I thought, no, they don't.

They never did. But the point is. A prophet looks forward. And listen to what he says, what this prophet says. He says, ask ye for the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain.

And he shall give unto you bright clouds as if men to every green thing in the field.

Now, when you break that down, I'm convinced the best way to interpret Scripture is with scripture.

So we know clouds are referred to as men. Jesus is not going to be running around on a cloud, throwing lightning bolts down from the clouds and healing people and doing all kinds of amazing miracles, signs, and wonders with these lightning bolts. He's not Zeus. What he says, he shall give unto you clouds. Clouds are men.

We know that from other scriptures. Peter talked about it, a reference to clouds. He said that Jude talks about the clouds that come and they bring no refreshment. Because when you look at a cloud, what you see? Refreshment.

And you know, rain is coming. And after that comes growth and fruit and all of that.

Well, Jude specifically talks about that. They're rainless clouds. That a lot of these preachers are rainless clouds that bring no comfort, no growth, no maturity. But he also says every grass of the field.

Well, Revelation chapter 9 and other places refer to grass as being men. Man. Revelation chapter 9, verse 4. He specifically tells the demons coming out of the pit, do not touch any green. grass or tree, why?

Who are the green ones?

Well, if they're green, that's life. They're alive. That is the children of God.

So he says to you right here that he's going to give you in the time of the latter rain, he's going to give you. An outpouring of the Holy Spirit, an outpouring of rain, an outpouring of miracles, signs, and wonders. And so, the thing that's been burning in my heart, the thing, and we're going to look at so many other scriptures today. If you can see my Bible here, I've got notes, I've got a notepad. And normally, when I do the radio or these podcasts, I'm just going right out of my heart with what I remember, and I don't even.

I just let the stream of consciousness go. And there's two things that have been on my heart for the last. Yeah. Six to eight weeks that I've not been able to shake, and I want to keep. Presenting them.

One is healing for the vaccine injured. And two is this In times message.

Well, there's a third one too concerning men, but this in times global. Red flag.

Now, I am not here to say, oh, all that's going on in the Middle East is just a red flag or is false. No, it's all true. It's all scriptural. We know that Psalm 82 war is over. We're moving into Ezekiel 38.

We know that in the last days, the Antichrist is going to rise up. You can go read chapter 11 of Daniel. He even talks about all the things that the Antichrist is going to do. He's going to be made nervous by ships approaching from the west, which in my interpretation, I read that one sentence and I go, there's two ways to Israel. One is from the south through the Suez Canal.

The other is through the Mediterranean.

So if he's concerned about ships approaching from the west, then I would tell you that that means the Strait of Hormuz and the Suez Canal are going to be shut down. And the two biggest navies in the world are Britain and the United States. China's trying to get in there, but Britain and the United States have the two biggest navies in the world still. And what are they going to do? They're going to have to send all their fleets south of Spain and north of Africa to get to the Middle East.

And it says that the Antichrist, Daniel 11, is made. nervous by those ships approaching.

So You can read scripture and go, okay, that's what this means, that's what that means. But Mm. Here's the thing. All of this war, all of this distraction. What fruit is it producing in your life?

What fruit are all these global end time prophecies producing in you? Because you see, you and I cannot change what's coming. We cannot change the second coming of Christ. We cannot change the rapture. We cannot change the rise of the Antichrist.

We cannot change that we're going to bow before the throne of God. We cannot change that evil and darkness will cover the earth. Did you know this? We know this. Everybody's been talking about it for years.

Man, it just seems like the world is getting darker and darker.

Well, that's scriptural. Isaiah chapter 60, arise and shine. See how gross darkness covers the earth. Gross darkness covering the earth. That's scriptural.

In the last days, we know darkness is going to shroud the earth. But at the same time, all of this other global stuff, the Middle East and Russia, the Great Bear rising up to itself, the hook in the jaw of the Antichrist. I could go on. You've heard all these scriptures, all these end-time events that are going to happen in the Middle East. But what fruit does it produce in you?

What does it do to the spirit on the inside of you, the real you? Because this right here, this flesh. Is going back to the dirt that it came from. It's corrupt. We were corrupted.

Every human born since Adam was corrupted. And these prophecies are going to happen. In the same way, Scripture says that when the time had arrived, he sent his son Jesus. You and I are living in another time. That has arrived.

Everything from Israel, all of that.

So I'm saying all these different examples and giving you all these global end-time prophecies. that are nothing more than a clock on the wall. Born calendar. That's what they are. Those who understand the signs or the Moeds of the last days understand this.

It is a clock on the wall, it's a calendar. You make reference to it, it doesn't have anything to do with your spiritual growth. It's exciting. It may touch you. It might be, it's good to know this stuff.

But there's so many clickbait preachers out there. They're not even preachers. They're just YouTubers and TikTokers who are taking, like, they'll take a clip from what I'm saying right here and go, what do you think it is? And all they want you to do is, because they've got a following, they'll get you to click it, click it, click it, so they can get another silver plaque on the wall. But what is it doing for you and the spirit man, the one who lives eternally, that is on the inside of you?

What's it gonna do? Where are you at? Where do you fit into all of this end time prophecy? And that's why I say this global end time prophecy has become a red flag for the church, especially the Western mindset church. Because while we're staring at the TV screens, while we're staring at what is a calendar.

And getting all excited, what's happening to you and I. In these days, where are you spiritually? If your flesh melted away, what would your spirit man look like? What would you, the part of you that will live eternally, the part of you that's going to bow before Jesus? Because your flesh ain't bowing before Jesus.

Your spirit will. Your soul will. Matthew 24, he says, Be not afraid of the one who could destroy both the body. And the spirit. Because you see, men could destroy the body.

Men, mankind, cannot destroy the real you.

So, what's happening with the real you while all this stuff is happening out there? Right there where you sit. What's up with you? Where are you at? What are you doing?

How are you growing? Is there fruit being produced in your life? And I would say this to you: that it's not just about the fruit as we've made it to be in the church. It is that you and I are supposed to be walking in the fullness of the gospel. Paul said that I pray that you be rooted and grounded in love, that you may come to know the hope to which you have been called.

My friends, you've been called... To something greater than watching a television screen or the global clock on the wall. You've been called to greater something than just going to church and giving money and all these so-called spiritual things. You have been called to grow spiritually. I know there's some of you listening in Asia.

You're listening over, you're going to listen to this over in different parts of the world. You're beginning to see revival. You're beginning to see great raindrops. It's like that storm that's coming. And as the storm comes, the wind carries these raindrops out ahead of it.

And my daughter and I, right now, I'm sitting in a horse trailer at a rodeo, the national rodeo. My daughter starts riding tonight. And the Lord's been dealing with me to do this episode. Like, oh. And yet, when we were coming down here the other day.

We drove in sunny Weather. In rain. No cloud above us. The cloud were a couple miles over that way. But the outflow coming from that storm was blowing the rain onto us so hard.

My windshields were on the highest, windshield wipers were on the highest speed they could go, and people were slowing down, putting their blinkers on because driving in sunny rain is kind of blinding. But there was no cloud above us. And yet we were getting rained on. Happened three times in this six-hour drive as you were coming from North Carolina to Georgia. And that's what's happening around the world right now: is that there are great outflows beginning to happen, and there's drops of rain hitting places.

And and we're beginning to see the signs of revival. But scripture is very clear that there's a lot more that's going to happen. And here's my concern. Here's my. challenge For you is where are you gonna be?

Are you going to be sitting in front of the television set? Or with your phone in your hand, surfing. I mean, I might be because I surf the internet a lot. I'm not any different than the rest of you. But what are we going to be doing?

When The trumpet blows. And we get called up. What are we going to be doing? And here's the funny thing is that you know we've all heard the scripture, as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the last days. And we have been taught by the church, the Western mindset church, to mean that that refers to the bad and the evil in the world.

And while that's true, the darkness of the world seems to be growing. I'm not acknowledging that. What I'm saying to you is that there were at least eight people in that day who continued to obey God and do what God called them to do. People mocked them. People made fun of them.

People do all sorts of things. And nobody believed. No Noah until when? till the rain began to fall. And so, in the same manner, in these last days, nobody's going to be, people are going to be like, oh, you know, I was thinking about it.

I said, Lord, why aren't churches preaching this? Why are not churches preaching that while this time line is going, there's a parallel time line, a parallel universe called Christianity that is supposed to be doing what it was created to do? Let the world and all that darkness do what it's created to do. You and I have a different path, a narrow path that we're supposed to be walking on, and out of us flows rivers of water. Out of us flows all that God wants to do.

It says right there in Zachariah: And out of you shall come the lightnings of God. That word lightning is used one time in all of scripture, and it refers to the glory, the presence, or the miracle-working power of God. Used one time in scripture. Right there, talking about the last days. And he says, ask ye therefore for rain.

What an outpouring of the Spirit in the latter days. And he shall give unto you men with the lightnings of God. That is a modern English way to translate that verse. Ask ye therefore rain. In the time of the latter rain, Today Okay.

And he shall give you men with the lightnings of God. You and I were created to disperse and carry the lightnings of God. You know, have you ever asked yourself? Because I know I have, I've been driving down the road with all the junk that goes on, all the trials and all the stupidity we deal with in this flesh, beating the steering wheel, driving down the road, crying, going, God, there's got to be more. And the scriptures say, yes, there are.

Dozens and dozens and dozens of prophecies referring to the last days. And that yes. Is the answer to the question, is there more? Absolutely, there's a lot more. Why is the Western Mindset Church not preaching it?

It's the blind leading the blind. That's like asking a seminary, hey, do you guys teach a class or teach about the 240-some scriptures about why you don't want to be a shepherd? I mean, scripture says 365 times do not fear, but it says 242 times warnings and verses referring to bad shepherds. A lot of them in the last days. Zachariah chapter 10, verse 1.

Who's his anger kindled against? Is it the darkness of the world? No. Is his anger kindled against those who are destroying the world and fulfilling end time prophecy? No.

Is his anger kindled against you and I? No. His anger, actually, I guess maybe I qualify, his anger is kindled against men like me. Why? Because we're not teaching the truth.

We're not teaching the truth. We're teaching this end time stuff instead of what you and I are to become. You know, end-time prophecy was not a major topic of Paul's. Yes, he talked about it. What what was Paul's major problem?

Talking. Paul's major talking point was maturity and growth, getting you and I. into full blown children of God. Therefore, be rooted and ground in love that you may know the hope to which he has called you, no longer swayed back and forth by the cunning teachings of men. And here's what happens.

So many, Scripture says 75%. Right now, Pew and Varna and some of these other statistical agencies, poll takers, say it's about 70%. Of pastors in the United States do not believe in the authority or the fullness of the word. 70%. of so-called shepherds.

Spiritual leaders. Do not Hold the Bible as being a final authority. Our final authority is this right here: the Word of God. The Word of God.

Now, I'm a Word and Spirit guy, meaning I'm going to study the Word. And then I'm gonna Pray and relationship with the Spirit. Why? Because the Word, I've had things happen. I say, God.

You know, I'm a word and spirit guy.

So if you show me something in the spirit... Can I have it in the word? Can I have it in the word, Lord? And I want to share with you what happened to me on the night that I got filled with the Holy Spirit. And what happened Is and it took years for me to to to about five years before before I got the word on it.

And so I had shared it with a few of my friends. They're like, dude, that's amazing, but you can't share that with people. Because the church will hate you. People will hate you. You can't share that with people.

And now in the last year or two, the Lord's been like, do this, do this, do this. And What happened is I've been praying and seeking the Lord's will on the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And I'd read a one-page article on it. Said, I want to know what's going on. I want to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

This is for me. I want it, Lord. And I read this article about Charles Finney. And it said, I want to live like that. And it and it lined up with what I had read from the Word.

So I spent the summer that summer Spent the summer that summer. I spent my summer. I quit my job. This one morning, led by the Lord, quit my job, and I quit my job. And I started going to the church that I got saved in.

And I would go every day for about two hours. And they had a little chapel on the side of the church. I'd go in there, I'd pray, and I'd study, and I was reading the Bible. And I remember I was like, Lord, I want to live a life like Paul. And so I'm studying the word, studying the word, studying the word, and praying.

And then I get invited to an all-night prayer meeting because people thought that I was something amazing because I was going to the church every day for eight weeks praying and studying. They didn't realize how desperate I was. I was ready to throw everything out the window. And I was still crying out to God, but I was just disappointed. I was.

downbeaten and I went to that prayer meeting that night and I destroyed it. I ruined it. And uh It was supposed to be an all-night prayer meeting, and I was home by one in the morning. At 2:30 in the morning, I was I woke up, I was pinned in my bed. And I felt the warmth coming from my toes all the way up my body.

And some more things happened and not necessary to share all that with you, but At one point I heard the Lord say, because I heard what sounded like a tornado. And the Lord said, get up and go outside.

So I went outside and when I went outside Not a cloud in the sky. Just stars and a full moon. And I looked up. At the moon. And I can see the earth.

And the earth was shrouded in darkness. And then I heard I saw a flame shoot up through the darkness. And when it did, I could feel and sense darkness pulling away, scooting away from it. Then I saw another flame shoot up through the darkness. Same thing, scooted away from it.

And I saw these flames shooting up around the world. And I said uh Um Lord, what is this? And he said to me, he said, this is the last great revival. And you will see it.

Well, I shared that with some of my friends. I was filled with the Holy Spirit. After that, things began to happen that I couldn't explain. I just called accidental miracle signs and wonders. I had a biblical textbook example of the day of Pentecost, and there's more details to it that I don't always share, but.

Anyway, long story short, it was about Four years later. I was sitting in a meeting. And a man that I consider a spiritual father walks in. And he opens up his Bible and says, Go to Isaiah. And everybody turns to Isaiah.

And then he locks eyes at me and quotes Isaiah chapter 60: Arise and shine, see how gross darkness covers the earth, but how the glory of the Lord rises upon you. And he's quoting the first five verses. And then he closes the Bible and walks out. Of course, that created jealousy, and everybody's like, oh, what's so special about him? Doesn't matter.

And now as we get closer. And we're getting closer to the end time, and this revival that's coming, the Lord has dealt with me to begin sharing this for him. And so Isaiah 60 goes on to say that the glory of the Lord will rise upon you. And it says, This says, and the doors of your storehouses shall be open day and night. And I had heard that man teach that years ago, and one of the things he said is: the churches.

Will be open day and night. You're gonna have to hire staff, rotating staff, just to keep ministering to people. You'll never be able to close your doors. You'll not be able to lock your doors. And I believe we saw.

The first raindrop of that happened with Azusa. And that, I can tell you that that went on for years when the baptism of the Holy Spirit and what God was doing in Azusa and the revival that occurred in Azusa was amazing until. And you can read Frank Bartleman's books. Look up Frank Bartleman. He'll tell you about it.

He was involved in that, along with the Ninth Street Mission and the New Testament Church, and, of course, Azusa. The Azusa William Seymour's barn had no name, no nothing on it. And then finally, some wise people came in and was like, oh, you need to name this, and da-da-da, and they put a sign up. And the day after it happened, Frank Bartaman was walking up to the church, the barn, and he saw the name out there, and there was a lock on the door. And at that point, the Spirit of God said, this is the beginning of the end.

But I believe Azusa was just one of those raindrops. And that when they began to try to lock the doors and organize, and really, somewhere along the way, some men wanted the profit, the wisdom of men wanted to profit off of what was happening. God moved on. And I think it's an incredible sign that what happened in Asbury last year at that college, when the preachers and the celebrities showed up, they sent them away. We don't need you.

We got here with God. God arrived before you. Why do we need you now? You know, and so I believe this generation, this young generation, that's exactly the mindset they're going to have. Why, if God's here, why do we need you now?

And I hope that that attitude prevails because how many revivals have been quashed? by so-called wisdom. And doctrines of men who've come in and just, oh, well, we need to do this, we need to do that. And all they want is to profit off of it. I think some of it is deception as well.

But so we see throughout scripture people who get sidetracked. It's the Samson and Delilah story. You know, you're called of God, and then something of the world comes along and distracts you.

Sound familiar? Zachariah talked about that. And so what I What I really want to focus on is that you and I were created to do something more. Then just watch the end time events happen. Paul said this, and this is an unfulfilled prophecy.

Paul said All of creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.

Well, if all of creation waits, that means here and now. All of creation is waiting. Paul was just one to get started. The disciples were just to get started. And down through history, we can see many men and women of God who carried the anointing and kept it going and continued to teach it.

And it's coming. It is coming and it's coming fast and furious. And so I don't want you to be sitting there, you know, missing out, watching it on TV, watching it on your phone or your device or whatever it is, when you should be walking in it. If you are born again. You made Jesus the Lord of your life.

There should be something more. Than just being A church goer. I got nothing against going to church. I go to a great church, love my pastors, but there's more to it. And and and me doing this is me f Doing what God has told me to do, whether you agree with it or not.

So many scriptures. And so let me share one with you. Here's a scripture I talk, I've preached on a lot. And if you followed me, you've heard this. He says this: this is in Haggai.

And so just to give you a heads up, Haggy Eye. is bringing elderly people back to Jerusalem. And as they approach, the temple, they start falling on the ground. And crying out as they're returning because they see the temple, and they're crying out to, and here's what they say. Who among you, who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory?

So there's a possibility that some of these people who are returning to Israel. from the whole Babylon, the 75 years. The of of uh In in there with Daniel and the and the all of them. They're coming back. They're exiles.

They're coming back. He says, Who is left among you that saw this, the temple, in its first glory?

So he's bringing elderly people. Did any of you see the original house? And how do you see it now? What's it look like now? And he goes, Is it not in your eyes of comparison as if nothing?

Meaning, there's no glory on it, there's no presence on it, which is absolutely true because in the Old Testament, At this point, there's no arc. They rebuilt the temple. It was probably prettier than the first one. Herod added on to it, remodeled it. And Jesus said there wouldn't be a single stone left.

Mm-hmm. He called them vipers. Why? And they're all smoke and mirrors. Why?

There's no presence of God there. How can there be any presence of God there if there's no ark there?

So, when they looked on the temple that had been rebuilt, it appeared as of nothing. Why? Because there's no presence in the temple.

So there's no glory in the temple. But listen to what he goes on to say. He goes on to say The glory of this latter house shall be greater than that of the former, says the Lord of hosts. Meaning. Meaning, the glory or the presence of the Lord in these last days is going to be greater than the first day.

That day The glory that's on the church in these last days. It's going to be greater than the presence of the church. in the Old Testament. That's what Zachariah says. He says, Ashley for rain in the time of the latter rain.

He says, Here, the glory of the church. will be greater than it is on the second day or on the first day. And it now let's go to Hosea chapter 6, verse 3. This is one of my favorite scriptures. I remember reading this.

30-some years ago, going, wait, help me understand that God. And Hosea chapter 6, verse 2 says, In the second day, I'll restore you that you may live in my presence, or restore you. And we see that that happened to the church. And he goes on to say In the third day, I'll revive you that you may live in my presence.

Well, that's not a catching away. That's a reviving here on planet Earth. You're going to be revived. The church is going to be revived. In the third day.

What year are we?

Well, we're the third day since Jesus.

Now remember, a prophet looks forward. Hosea lived in what we call the fourth day since Adam.

So he couldn't have been talking about The day before him, and you know, 2,000 years before Jesus. No, he was talking about. The years after Jesus, he's looking forward, and he says, In the third day, I'll restore you that you may live in my presence.

So there's a restoration of the presence of God coming. to those of us who believe. Daniel 11:32 says, and those who know their God, and this is all, get this, this is all Daniel 11. What is it? It's the prophecy of the end times, right?

The prophecy of the end times, the Antichrist, all the things he's going to do. And what does it say? Verse 32, and those who know That's intimate knowing their God shall do great exploits. I mean, not enough. should get the church excited to the point where we go, wow.

Really? God said that? Oh yes, God said that. And so here's my question for you: Is we live in the third day? And we have spent so much time focusing on the global events and even the falling away.

Even the falling away of the church. Which I think is already happening. But where is the rising up? Arise and shine and see how the glory of the Lord rises upon you. Where are the men and women who shall know their God?

Where are those who will have the presence of God? Where are those who are going to walk and talk in the presence of God and not manipulate the church for money and fame? Where is that? Where are the ones who are going to be like William Seymour and be humble and bow their heads and hide, but yet out of that flows healing and miracles, signs, and wonders? The world needs healing right now, and the answer is not in medicine.

The answer is not in governments. The answer is in us. And so, I've got so many more scriptures that we can go to. But he says this. He says, what is this?

This is. Isaiah Chapter 2 And he says It shall come to pass in the last days, the last days. That the mountain of the Lord shall be established on the top of the mountains and shall be exalted, and all nations will flow to it.

So you see, that's not a. In the sweet by and by scripture. That's a here and now. The nations will flow to it. Why?

Well, it said that they'll be attracted to the glory of the Lord that rises upon you. And many people shall go and say, Come and let us go to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of God, and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. I mean, he's saying in the last days, this is going to happen. There's so many scriptures like this.

Isaiah talks about it, Jeremiah talks about it, a lot of. Prophets talk about says that the rain has been withheld. The outpouring of the Spirit has been withheld from the church. Why? Because they're in pursuit of other things besides God.

Their pursuit of their doctrines. Jeremiah is such a great example. If you read the six chapters of Jeremiah, he's pleading. With the modern church of his day. to get back on the right path.

To get back on the right path. And these pastors keep saying, oh, but we're following the law, we're doing the law, we're comfortable teaching the law the way that it is. Jeremiah is saying, Yeah, but the rain, the miracle, signs, and wonders, the outpouring of the Spirit has all been withheld from you. Because you're so stuck on your law. Your doctrines and your theology, you're missing it.

Oh, we're not missing it, Jeremiah. We're not missing it. You're an idiot, Jeremiah. You know, nobody believes you, Noah, until the rain begins to fall. And Jeremiah's like, I'm warning you, destruction's coming.

You guys stick with your 613 laws, your destruction's coming. And here's the thing: the modern church of America or the Western mindset church, you are preaching doctrines and laws. How do we know? Where's the presence? The rain has been withheld.

See, see, the judgment is already there. We can look at you and go, you don't have the presence of God. You're not teaching the presence and the laws of God.

Well, how do you know that, Brother John? Because you don't have an outpouring of the Spirit. You've got laws and doctors. I don't care if you've got 10,000 people in your church. If you don't have a move of God in your church, Real miracles, signs, and wonders, healing, people being delivered, all of these things that are prophesied about.

Is there anybody in your church that their shadow? Is healing people? Are the lame getting up and walked? And I'm not talking about, you know, all this business where we go and go, oh, I sense that somebody's being delivered of a headache or somebody's being delivered of a back pain. Those are common in America.

I want to see the dead raised. I want to see limbs grow. I want to see blind eyes open. And here's the thing, in 35 years of going to the nations, we've seen that. We get to see that.

But I want to see it in this country. I want to see it in the United States.

So what's stopping it?

Well, Jesus himself said that the doctrines and teachings of men render the word of God powerless.

So that's your judgment right there, Church of America. Western Mindset Church. You are powerless because you're stuck on your doctrines. And your teachings amen. And yet, scripture clearly tells us what the men and women of the last days are going to walk like in the presence, rooted and grounded in love, so full of love.

That we forgive those who come against us. I mean, really, you don't have to like this message, but if you're a child of God, you have to forgive me. If it offends you, you've got to go to God and say, is he telling the truth? And I'm pretty sure God's going to say, yep, it's in the scripture. It's in scripture.

And so, whether you like it or not, these things are going to happen. See, remember, we're back to the old thing: you can't control what's going to happen in the last days. The only thing you can do is preach the truth, tell the truth. And there is a revival that's coming. And the rest of the world will see it.

And the American church may be going, hmm. Is that really happening? And we want to argue about whether we're theologically correct or whether we're discipling people exactly the way we think you should disciple them, or whatever it may be. I've had people argue with that, and I just look at it and go, Wow, praise God! I've been believing my mentor taught me this.

You go do a crusade and tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people get born again. In these nations that don't know Jesus and they come to know Jesus, and then people here in America who never go anywhere, never do anything, and don't give. We'll go, well, what are you doing about discipleship?

Well, what are you doing about discipleship?

So, what my mentor taught me is that when they do that, you just start dancing up and down and clapping with joy, going, Oh, praise God. Thank God. I've been praying for somebody to give towards that. How big's the check going to be, brother? And that'll shut them up in a heartbeat.

Because them naysayers, that's all they are. They got nothing really to say. They're just loudmouths who aren't doing anything and want to knock other people down who are doing something. And they exist everywhere. But the point is this.

What are you doing? What are you doing? Scripture clearly says. You're supposed to do more, that there is more. Paul said that you be filled to the fullness measure of God.

I don't know anybody like that. I don't. I might know one person. One person That I could say maybe qualifies for that. He's one of my heroes.

He's 105 years old. Doesn't eat fast food, doesn't even know what fast food is, never seen a McDonald's. lives in the mountains of the Himalayas. And and I sit there and go, hmm. I wonder what that man knows.

I would love to know what he knows. I want to just go there and pray with them one day. Just. Pray and pray and pray. until the presence of God shows up.

I get to see. Miracles, signs, and wonders because of what we do from time to time, not because I'm me. But because when you preach the gospel. He verifies it with signs and wonders. But it's not like he walks up to me and puts his arm around my shoulder and said, Hey, best buds.

And yet, that's what I want to hear. That's my heart's desire. is to know that He sees me that way. Oh, I know he loves me. I know.

I'm born again. I know I'm going to have it. I don't want to go alone. And I would love to just walk into heaven and be, hey, man, how are you doing, Jesus? And just It's natural.

I've got a lot of growing to do. And yet the Lord is sitting there on me. constantly about what's coming. What's coming, and what we're supposed to be walking in, what we're supposed to be doing. And we're missing it.

We're missing it because we're so focused on the global False flag. end time prophecies. And here's the thing is they're not false flags, truth flags. Absolutely truth. All of it's going to happen.

But when it becomes a distraction, To our spiritual growth and maturity, to fulfilling what God's called us to do, then it's a false flag for us, for Christians. That's all there is to it. I wish. You know, I wish I had more. I I don't know.

I I'm at a loss for words. As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be now. And nobody's gonna know, nobody's gonna believe until It actually happens. I mean, think about it, day of Pentecost. They knew if they studied scripture.

and they knew that he died on on Passover. He told them wait in the upper room not many days after this this will happen. And how many of them were waiting in that upper room going, You think it'll really happen? Is this going to happen? And the day of Pentecost happens.

And How many of them actually believed it until it happened? How many believed? I mean, look at the people that lived in Jesus' day. How many of them actually believed it? And it was happening in front of them.

And so, you know, there are so many verses about the end times, about the army of the Lord, and those who will march shoulder to shoulder with Him, those who will move in the Holy Spirit, and I shall pour out my flesh on all. people If you want it, it's there for you. I i if it it's all there. And so I just share this. I want to wake you up.

I want you to realize there's more. Yes, the answer to the question is, is there more? Romans, I believe it's five, he says, five times. How much more so? If death rained in the one man at him, Which reigns in you and I, in our flesh.

Hmm. How much more so? Shall life reign In us. How much more so? There are so many prophecies, so many words.

That still have yet. Romans 7, 9. What is Romans 7.9? Let's go look that up. Talking about the last days.

Romans seven. For I was alive without Law once, and when the commandment came, sin revived. Did I read that wrong? Revelation 7, 9. I can't read my own handwriting.

Revelation 7.9. Let's go there. And we'll end with this verse. Revelation 7:9. After I saw this, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number of all nations and kindreds.

And peoples and tongues stood before the throne and before the Lord clothed with white robes and palms in their hands. Millions will stand before the throne of God. A worldwide revival. Isaiah 60. Arise and shine.

How?

Well, Matthew 24:14 says, Go and preach the gospel. And and and so I share this. I'm going to. Um Close, just you know. Keep in mind, James 5:7 says, This see how the husbandman waiteth.

for the precious fruit of the earth. The precious fruit, the harvest, are souls. And we're so busy looking at the clock on the wall. We're going to miss it. I don't want to miss it.

I don't want you to miss it. And so I'm saying to you. Yes, there's more. Pursue it, go after it, find it, root and ground yourself in love, forgive others, forgive even those who have hurt you, despitefully used you. That's a hard lesson to learn.

You've got to love others even when they don't love you and help restore others. Even those who have done you wrong, you've got to help restore them. You've got to be, I mean, Jesus forgave us when we did him wrong. We have to be the same way. And as we begin to grow and mature in that, then I absolutely believe you and I will become candidates for growth, candidates for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, candidates to walk in this world and make a difference.

And it's all there. Daniel 11:32, and in the last days, those who know their God. shall do great exploits. I want to see it. I want to be it.

I want to fill it. And I want to drag as many in there with me as I can.
