Speaker: All right, so spiritual gifts. What are they? In 1 Corinthians, um it was a Greek people who lived in an area of Greece called Corinth. I've actually been to the exact location where these people met.
Speaker: It's a phenomenally beautiful place. 1 Corinthians 12, 4 to 6, says that there are different kinds of gifts. but they're all given to believers by the same Spirit, Holy Spirit.
Speaker: There are different ways to serve Jesus, but they all come from the same Lord Jesus. There are different ways Holy Spirit works, but the same God is working in all these ways and in all God's kids.
Speaker: So not every Christian is going to do the exact same thing. If you have 500 people in an auditorium, not all 500 are pastors. Why not? Because God does not need 500 pastors in one room.
Speaker: But instead, we'll all have different gifts, different abilities. Why? To serve Jesus. And what does that look like? Serving people.
Speaker: 1 Corinthians 12, 11 says, All the gifts are produced by one and the same Spirit. He gives gifts to each person just as he decides. And that is Holy Spirit.
Speaker: Holy Spirit lives inside every believer. Now you might think, oh my goodness, does he have like a billion brains? Holy Spirit can multiply himself as many times as he needs to. And he lives in me.
Speaker: He lives in all of you. He lives in every Christian you know. Every Christian around the world.
Speaker: And if you're thinking, oh, I don't know, i'm quite new to faith, or this is quite new to me, I don't know if I have a gift... that's okay. In time, he will activate and awaken the exact gift or gifts he needs you to have for the people in your world.
Speaker: And 1 Corinthians 12, 27 says, you are the body of Christ. Each of you is a part of it. And each of you has a part to play.
Speaker: Not to get good with God, not to be religious, but because God is doing something amazing on the earth, building his church, Jesus with skin on, and he could do it all by himself if he had wanted to.
Speaker: But he is a relational God. He is a father. relationship Relationship and family come from him. so therefore, he likes when we co-labor, when we collaborate.
Speaker: So Holy Spirit is a gift giver. I know we've just emerged from Christmas and New Year and my birthday. Thank you for all the birthday messages, by the way.
Speaker: But there are no better gifts than the ones Holy Spirit gives his children.
Speaker: Spiritual gifts are given to Christians in order are that we can work together as the body of Christ on Earth. All of these gifts whether they're big or small, uber supernatural or generosity, which no one ever prays for, are given by Holy Spirit.
Speaker: Because we are his ambassadors. Think of how an ambassador in the natural represents a country in another country. You represent heaven on the earth.
Speaker: You represent the king of heaven, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker: How did he captivate our hearts? By his grace, his forgiveness, his love. And in the same way, that's what we show other people in how we walk, how we talk, how we live.
Speaker: So because Holy Spirit lives within us on the basis of faith alone, in the cross, the blood, and the empty grave of Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins.
Speaker: Holy Spirit lives there. And in time, he gives all of his children spiritual gifts, could be one, could be more than one, so that you can do his work on the earth.
Speaker: Holy Spirit's responsibility civility is giving the spiritual gifts to Christians, and he appoints individuals, different ministries, a different job, a different function, based on that gift.
Speaker: And maybe you feel, well, I haven't been a Christian for very long, or I've been a very bad Christian for a very long time. He doesn't give you gifts based on what you deserve.
Speaker: In his eyes, you're already worthy.
Speaker: Never underestimate how expensive or precious a human soul is.
Speaker: Every second since you were conceived, there have been angels fighting to protect your soul. Demons fighting to kill your soul.
Speaker: Humans operating to control your soul. Jesus died to save your soul. You're already worthy in his eyes. And he gives gifts because he's a good, good father.
Speaker: It's not just what he does. It's who he is. And he does these things because he's planned to do them. He's a father.
Speaker: You're his sons and his daughters. Fathers look after their kids. It's that simple.
Speaker: So every believer, least at some point in their life, maybe not always instantly, but eventually, will possess one, two, three, sometimes more, never all, but sometimes more, of those gifts.
Speaker: And with them, you have the ability to show the power of Jesus and the love of Jesus on the earth to make Jesus famous in our time and to make the reality of the forgiveness that we've all received real to other people, to make the reality of heaven real to other people.
Speaker: And most importantly, to make the reality of God's love real to our people.
Speaker: One of these gifts, which we'll look at mostly today, is the gift of prophecy. And the person is called a prophet. Now, not talking about fortune tellers or be working, you know, for the weather forecast, predicting the weather and getting it wrong 95% the time.
Speaker: This does not come from evil spirits or dead people or crystal balls. This is a person that God chooses to communicate messages with.
Speaker: Sometimes it's to keep it private and pray. Sometimes it's to be God's spokesperson on the earth. It can be a gift for men or a gift for women.
Speaker: And it involves giving people warnings. Hello. Giving them guidance. Giving them revelation of things that they hadn't known before.
Speaker: Giving them revelation on the Bible. Just opening the Bible and say seeing what God is doing or is going to do on the earth.
Speaker: Telling events ahead of time.
Speaker: So a prophet is the person and a prophecy is the written, for example, in the Bible, spoken, sometimes you'll hear God's voice, or otherwise revealed.
Speaker: Could be a dream or a vision, which is like a dream, only you're awake. It's the written, spoken, or revealed word of God in everyday language of people.
Speaker: To express the heart. And the intentions of God.
Speaker: Okay. The fivefold ministry. Of which prophecy is one.
Speaker: There are 16 gifts. Today we're looking at one of them. Next week we'll look at four. The week after that. The remaining ones.
Speaker: A gift. is something Holy Spirit gives to all of his kids regardless, because he's God and he's a giver.
Speaker: The five full ministry are what we call offices. This is to do with governing the church, being in a position of rule or management or order.
Speaker: Sadly, not every church fellowship actually has a combination of these. Sometimes, I'd say, usually, they limit it to just one. Pastors. But there should be majority of them working together.
Speaker: um So the five full ministry or five gifts that should be working together in order to have a healthy, functioning church congregation.
Speaker: They are, firstly, the Apostle. The Apostles Think of the 12 apostles of Jesus. Not Judas Iscariot, we'll admit him.
Speaker: ah He was a bad egg. But his replacement, Matthias. Or we have Paul, who was the apostle to the Gentiles, meaning non-Jews, us.
Speaker: And soon after Paul, the apostles mainly became missionaries. But the initial apostles got deep, incredible spiritual revelation no one else had ever known.
Speaker: After that, they just took on a missionary role of traveling to different parts of the world. But the biblical apostles laid the foundation, and that's why it's the thumb.
Speaker: It is the longest finger that you have.
Speaker: Then we've got the prophet. The prophet is is the index finger. It points the way. it says, this is what God is saying. This is coming. This will happen in 2025. 2030. Get your act together.
Speaker: In the middle, yeah this is not theological, guys. yeah This is just a picture. it's Use whatever finger you like. In the middle, we have the evangelist.
Speaker: The evangelist mediates the lost to God. These are the people that you see on the street corners saying, Jesus died for your sins.
Speaker: but But you're trusting him. Or in Ireland, we have a very famous one who used to be a drug addict. um So now he has a massive big syringe, which is a vehicle, and he drives around in his syringe to his people about Jesus.
Speaker: Fourth, we have the pastor. Because the pastors are married to the church. It's their job. They live church. They breathe church. They serve the church.
Speaker: Before they go to bed, they're doing church work. As soon as they wake up, they have 100 messages from church people. They're the pastors.
Speaker: And the last one, the pinky, are the teachers. because we clean out people's ears of bad theology and nonsense. We listen to the stupidity that people say, and then we're like, hmm, how can we remove the earwax?
Speaker: ahha So they're the five offices in a church, the five full ministry that should be working together. But sadly, they don't always Because the different gifts might be given to people very different personalities.
Speaker: And working together as people doesn't come naturally. It's not always easy. And God knows it's not easy. But he wants his children to do it anyway.
Speaker: Because he wants his children to be mature. To be united.
Speaker: Okay, so next week we're going to look at the other four. The apostles and missionaries. Evangelists, pastors and teachers.
Speaker: But today i want to focus primarily on the gift of prophecy. Because this one used to freak me out when I was a lot younger.
Speaker: Okay, so important things to know about the gift of prophecy. Firstly, what it is. It helps.
Speaker: Then we're going to look at some ways that God speaks prophetically. There are many. In fact, God might invent a new one tomorrow. But we're going to look at some of the most common ones.
Speaker: Then we're gonna look at certain things which are important to know. um When learning about prophecy, sometimes prophecies don't happen when we they when we think they will.
Speaker: Or they don't happen in a way we thought they would. and And sometimes people get very offended or very scared they say, false prophet, you're a liar, fake Christian.
Speaker: Take a chill pill, people. I've prophesied things before that did not happen the way I thought they would. And you know what? I still believe that they will happen. In fact, I know they will. So I do not want you calling everyone you don't like a false Christian. so we're going to look at the reason some things don't happen, okay?
Speaker: you You kind of sounded like Smeagol there.
Speaker: that's Probably because Christmas tradition is re-watching The Lord of the Rings and having a marathon. From start to finish. but That's really nice.
Speaker: I actually used to quote him all the time when I was younger until it began to like destroy my post. Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, I love them. youre not an aus No movies have ever surpassed them. They're just fabulous. Sorry to disturb. you You didn't disturb. Don't worry.
Speaker: After that, we're going to look at some things that God has shown me concerning 2025.
Speaker: Prophetically. duon and then i'm going to show you a prophetic narrative that we're living in now. A prophetic narrative is when you relive ah Bible story.
Speaker: um There are times when you might find yourself going through a situation and then you read the Bible and you're like, oh my goodness, this Bible character knows how I feel. Our stories are so similar.
Speaker: That's a prophetic narrative. It can happen individually. Just you and a character in the Bible. can affect your nation. or it can affect the world.
Speaker: So we're going to look at one of those today.
Speaker: Okay, so what prophecy is.
Speaker: Prophecy shows Jesus. One of the best, most incredible, if not the best, most incredible prophets ever to have lived was Isaiah.
Speaker: um He's got a very long book in the Bible. In fact, just when you think it's over, it goes on more and more. And my Bible, it's like 60 pages long of just Isaiah talking about the future.
Speaker: He wrote this between 740 years before Jesus Christ was born 686 years before Jesus Christ was born.
Speaker: but look at the incredible pinpoint accuracy with which he talks about Jesus. Again, seven and a half centuries before he was born.
Speaker: Many were appalled at him. Disgusted. Hello, people are still disgusted at Jesus. I mean, they use his name as a curse word. Hello.
Speaker: His appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being. And when you think of him on the cross, his bones disjointed.
Speaker: fact he had been lashed with whips dozens of times. Beaten with fists and clubs. Had a crown of thorns put into his head.
Speaker: um Had to carry cross, had nails his hands and his feet. He didn't look human by the time the Romans were finished with him.
Speaker: His form marred beyond human likeness. Again, he looked like ragdoll, freakish creature. He didn't look like a person.
Speaker: He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering and familiar with pain. Absolutely Jesus Christ. His own younger brothers didn't even believe he was who he said he was.
Speaker: He was despised, and we, that's the nation of Israel, held him in low esteem. You know, when Pontius Pilate said, i will give you Jesus Barabbas, which means Jesus, son of the father, but he was a criminal, a murderer, or I'll give you Jesus, the king of the Jews.
Speaker: The righteous people, the religious people, the holy people, hello, said, give us the murderer. Give us Jesus Barabbas, the murderer, the killer.
Speaker: Because humans, back then and today, prefer a wicked person who will not tell them that they're sinners to a holy person who will point out their sin.
Speaker: Think of how many people perhaps in your lives hate you because you're a Christian or have insulted you or mocked you. But yet, they're friends with every gossip and, you know, like a murderer sympathizer in their phone book, right? It all began with Jesus. He knew exactly what this felt like.
Speaker: Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering. Yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him and afflicted. You know, when Jesus was tortured and punished and beaten, the people in the crowd that he had healed, that he had taught, that he knew by name, who were getting paid to teach the Bible, the Pharisees, for instance, the teachers,
Speaker: They were like, oh yeah, he's such a wicked, evil man. God's torturing him. God's punishing him.
Speaker: But he was pierced for our transgressions, for our sins in the physical. He was crushed for our iniquities, the sins on the inside and our minds and our heart.
Speaker: And the punishment that brought us peace was upon him. And you know, Jesus was pierced. Remember after he died, the Roman soldier wanted to make sure he was dead, so they poked him with a spear in his side?
Speaker: By his stripes we are healed. What is a stripe? A whiplash, where he was whipped in his back dozens of times.
Speaker: He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth. He stood before Herod, the fake king of Israel, and Herod said, Oh, it's Jesus, perform a miracle and I'll worship you. And Jesus didn't speak.
Speaker: He probably looked at this guy and was like, You're a counterfeit, you're a fox, you're a fake. He didn't acknowledge him.
Speaker: He was cut off from the land of the living. he died.
Speaker: He was assigned a grave with the wicked and with the rich in his death. He was buried in a rich man's grave, in a rich man's tomb.
Speaker: He will see the light of life, because after he died, the greatest battle of all time happened. Jesus versus sin, death, and the grave. It lasted three days, but it could only ever end one way.
Speaker: Jesus is resurrection and life, and he walked out of that grave fully alive.
Speaker: But these prophecies were written as many 740 years before Jesus was born. But look at how every single one of them perfectly talks about the life of Jesus.
Speaker: Prophecy reveals Jesus.
Speaker: Prophecy also encourages God's children. i remember the very first time that someone asked, Brendan, can I prophesy over you? God gave me a word for you. Can I give you a prophecy? I said, okay.
Speaker: And I had always been nervous of prophecy, but I decided to think, okay, maybe this is legit. Maybe this is real.
Speaker: I did not leave encouraged.
Speaker: well Basically, this guy did not have a genuine prophecy from God, and what he spoke over me was actually quite damaging. I thought, oh my goodness, like he just said something wicked. And I was like, is that God's opinion of me? Hello?
Speaker: And eventually I had to say no. No, Jesus loves me. Jesus would not say that about me. That that that guy was wrong. But someone who didn't know the heart of God as much as I did could have been damaged for the rest of their life after that encounter.
Speaker: But prophecy will encourage God's kids. 1 Corinthians 14.3 says the one who prophesies um to the people for edification, your betterment, your improvement, it's a good thing, to promote your spiritual growth.
Speaker: God does not want 30, 40, 50, and 60, 70 year old babies. he doesn't want you to grow up, to mature, and to develop spiritually in your knowledge of the Bible, of his heart, of love.
Speaker: Prophets speak words of encouragement.
Speaker: They want you to have courage, to be brave, to be strong, to take risks.
Speaker: Prophets uphold and devise them concerning the matters of God.
Speaker: They'll tell you, listen, this is what God is going to do in the earth in 2025. This is how you need to respond. God has a plan for you. This is what you need to do.
Speaker: Stop doing that. Start doing this.
Speaker: And they also give words of consolation. compassion and comfort. Because everyone has something going on in their lives. Some pain, some trauma, some difficulty, some challenge. And if you don't, you will soon.
Speaker: That's not me prophesying, that's just real life. But a prophetic word of God will encourage you, will build you up, will help heal your heart.
Speaker: so that you don't carry the same wounds on the inside forever and a day. Could you please tell me the difference between cons consolation yeah and comfort?
Speaker: Sure, so a consolation, maybe someone has experienced grief, a loss, maybe someone in their life has died. So you're to console them, you're helping restore them in the time of grief.
Speaker: Comfort can be the same thing, or it can be more elastic. Maybe they're just going through a hard time more generally.
Speaker: Maybe they lost their job, or maybe their family's driving them crazy. that Oh, okay. maybe Maybe they did something and they're ashamed, but you don't want them to live in their shame.
Speaker: Jesus died on the cross and buried our shame, and you want them healed to go forward, okay? Yes, thank you, man.
Speaker: God also gives words so that we might avoid trouble. In Job... 33, 16 to 18. um Job is not the first book in the Bible that happened, but a lot of Bible theologians do think Job was the first book written.
Speaker: Job loved God, but Satan came after him and absolutely ruined his life in every possible way. But God restored him in the end.
Speaker: So here's one thing that the prophet Job wrote. God may speak in people's ears and terrify them with warnings to turn them from wrongdoing and keep them from pride to preserve them from the pit, their lives from perishing by the sword.
Speaker: Because God knows what the enemy has planned. Spiritual enemies and human enemies. So God will often tell you these things are coming ahead of time so that you won't be the prey. You won't be the victim.
Speaker: You won't be defeated, stolen, killed, destroyed. That you will be more than a conqueror in Jesus' name.
Speaker: But sadly, that doesn't always happen. Sometimes people are told things and they choose to disobey. There's a story like that in 1 Kings 13, 11 to 34.
Speaker: It's a very sad story, actually, of manipulation, where there was a young prophet who heard from God very accurately. And there was an older prophet, not a false prophet, just an older prophet, who wanted to relive his glory days.
Speaker: So the young prophet was told, go to this area, say this, and leave straight away. The older prophet decided to manipulate him.
Speaker: Oh no you didn't hear from God correctly. I mean, God told me this, and I'm older, so I know better. actually what happened was the young prophet didn't obey God.
Speaker: He obeyed the manipulating older prophet. And he got eaten by a lion. Because God knew the that were going to happen. God knew where that lion was. The young prophet could have avoided danger. And could have served the Lord for years and years and years.
Speaker: And I believe he would have done a spectacular job. But he was manipulated. He was given bad advice from another person that he trusted.
Speaker: and he ended up falling into the pit, the enemy's trap, and perishing.
Speaker: I remember in 2019, heard someone, woman, saying she'd had a dream saying that she had had a dream And in the dream, she saw, funnily enough, a lion walking around her in circles.
Speaker: And I said, yeah, that's a demon. That demon wants to kill you. So you have to make a decision to stop what you're doing.
Speaker: To turn your life around. To pray.
Speaker: and what happened? An older person... a manipulator came along and said, oh no, he Brendan's wrong. Brendan doesn't know what he's saying. Stupid Brendan. No, that lion, that's your inner lioness, your inner fighter, your inner warrior.
Speaker: um You have to embrace the lion. yeah the lion's good. um I said, oh my goodness, this is nonsense. So what happened? The woman heard what I said she heard what he said and she chose to believe the older guy.
Speaker: Now, what you call a group of lions? A pride. It's right there on the screen to keep them from pride. a group of lions is called a pride.
Speaker: and she was proud. She said, oh, yes, I let the lion in. I accept the lion. Well, you know what? Within a week or two, she had cancer, and she was in bed cancer for a year.
Speaker: God gave a warning. God told her, this is coming. The enemy wants to attack you. The enemy wants to kill you. But she had to make a decision. Do i accept God's safety rope?
Speaker: His lifeline?
Speaker: Or do I let myself be attacked by the lion? It's a decision we have to make every day, friends.
Speaker: The word of God, when given prophetically, will also be confirmed through multiple witnesses. You know, there is only one God, but he is three persons, Father, their Son, and Holy Spirit.
Speaker: And you may never have thought about this before, I grew up in in a school where I had a teacher who said, oh God in the Old Testament was evil. But Jesus is nice. That's not what my Bible says.
Speaker: but My Bible says God is love. but God is good. There is no evil in him. There is no darkness in him.
Speaker: God the Father, God the Son, and God Holy Spirit have never once disagreed with each other. They agree with each other on 100% of things, 100% of the time.
Speaker: God never says, i will do this. And Jesus, no, daddy, please don't. Doesn't happen. but It doesn't. so Never not once.
Speaker: So because... There are three people or three persons in God. And when Jesus was on the earth, the fact that we were still together, there were still two of them, in the same way on the earth, God will confirm his word through two or three people, minimum.
Speaker: Sometimes I'll teach something to a group of people or I'll give a prophetic word or something. And and I love it. The people I'm talking to, especially the young a adults, even here on the chat, I will then say, i yeah, Brendan, that's interesting. I heard someone else say that.
Speaker: and I'll ask who? And they'll tell me some YouTubers' videos I don't watch. But I love that. Because it shows that God is saying the same things to different people in the same room or in the same country or in different continents.
Speaker: But he will confirm his word. Because if God says something, all three persons agree. So he wants the same precedent on the earth for people to agree.
Speaker: And that's why in a courtroom, you need multiple witnesses. You don't just have one person on the witness stand. You know, um I solemnly swear that I will say the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but... No, you need to have a variety of witnesses to get the fullest picture.
Speaker: And also, with the confirmation... God might tell me something, but he might tell someone else something different. Not the opposite, not something wrong, but another angle, another perspective, another layer.
Speaker: For instance, today for dinner, I had a lasagna. Lasagna is great, it's delicious. But at the bottom of your lasagna, you've got the base.
Speaker: Then you've got some sauce. Some cheese, mints. I love meat. I don't know how people could be vegetarians. No offense if you are one.
Speaker: Cheese, more mints, more cheese, more sauce to crisp you at the top. Layer upon layer upon layer. Lasagna is class. People should eat it more often.
Speaker: That's what it's like with prophecy. God will give someone the basics. He'll give someone else the saucy details. That sound great on YouTube, but they offend half people in a church building.
Speaker: He'll give someone else the cheese, the spiritual protein. He'll give someone else the meat, which you need to break down He'll give someone else, you know, the crispy bit of the top.
Speaker: And it doesn't mean we're contradicting each other. We're just getting the fullest picture possible.
Speaker: I ask if God is saying something things so for example to you or to me but it has nothing to do with hold on how do you ask this ah okay let's say God is telling me something but it has nothing e it has nothing to do with you or nothing to do with other people it has not to do with me hmm Do you think God is always confirming, though, that he spoke to me through other people?
Speaker: Good question. What i would say there is he might give, let's say one person a word um and say, OK, I'm going to do something amazing in my church in Finland.
Speaker: I'm going to start healing the soul wounds of young women in particular.
Speaker: but then you maybe you're in bed asleep and he might give you a dream to speak to you personally about your heart issues so for a word like that he'll speak to you directly because it only concerns you but he may have given someone else a more general word that he was going to heal people on a large degree But he may also give someone in your world a word.
Speaker: Oh, call Yanita today. She's going through something. Or Yanita's on a path to healing. Pray for her.
Speaker: So there will be individual words that only concern you where he'll speak directly. But just because he's dealing with you personally doesn't mean he's not telling other people to pray for you.
Speaker: um Like I was once i am at a summer camp and i was, let's see, what was I doing? We had a big zip line, a big, you know, where you fly through the air and I was taking people's names. That's all. I wasn't on the zip line. I was just taking people's names.
Speaker: And next thing he spoke to me, pray for someone from your university. And I said, and okay.
Speaker: So i I prayed for her and I didn't think about it again. Summer camp ended, summer ended, i went back to university. i saw my friends I said, hi there, how are you?
Speaker: she said, oh Brendan, I'm so good now, thank you. and I said, now? And she said, oh Brendan, two weeks ago, something terrible happened.
Speaker: And I was in a horrible place mentally and emotionally. But God's good and now I'm fine. So God was working on her. Whatever attack she was going through, God helped her.
Speaker: But he told me to pray for her. So he will speak to his kids individually. But he could have other people praying for you. you just don't know it. There's the funny thing.
Speaker: You don know, have the I was writing the drawing mates and there was a guy where Texas executed him 2022, I think, if i remember right. okay I met him in 2019 and Texas was there giving his second, I think it was his second execution date.
Speaker: And i was talking that about about i'm sorry i was talking about that thing to the Lord. And the Lord told me very clearly, it's not his time to die yet.
Speaker: yeah And I knew it was the Lord. I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew. But no one come to me, told me, oh, Janita, his name was John.
Speaker: No one told me, no one came to me. and saying, oh, John is not going to die. But I just knew everybody was there. every and Everyone else was, John is going to die. And I was like, no, no, no, he's not going to die. you Just encourage him, but the don't be like, oh, he's going to die.
Speaker: Even John told me, Janith, I am going to die. And was like, no, you are not going to die. this is therefore This is the truth. You are not going to die.
Speaker: So please stop that. Don't say out of your mouth, I am going to die. You are not going to die. I don't care what people say. I don't care what the God says.
Speaker: I don't care anything. i know what the Lord says. You will live. You will not die. That is what the Lord says. And he was still alive.
Speaker: When he had peace, So see, there wasn't no any confirmation, just the Lord speaking to me. So this could happen also, right?
Speaker: Yeah, but I'd also say in the Book of Kings, when Ahab and Jezebel, a wicked, evil king and queen, were the monarchs of Israel, they hunted God's prophets and they killed anyone they could find.
Speaker: And the prophet Elijah was like, God, I'm the only one left. This is horrible. oh God said, no, you're not. He said, I've got thousands of them in a cave over there. but but So there are always more people that God is speaking to than you realize.
Speaker: But yes, there will be times when in a specific environment, you might be the only one who's found standing that can happen to you. Because in that story, it was great that 7,000 were alive, but they were hiding in a cave.
Speaker: Elijah was the only one walking around. um And sadly, um i think because there isn't always a lot of courage in the world, a lot of bravery, and God can speak to many people. And many people might pray.
Speaker: How many people stand up for righteousness in the moment? Sadly, it tends to be the fewest.
Speaker: Yeah. I don't know how many people God thought that John would
Speaker: John would leave many years ago because this happened many years ago. But anyway, the the point is that sometimes, well, at least when it comes to me, when I hear God speaking to me, sometimes i am not giving, I'm having corn for con con me confirmations yes from other people.
Speaker: But the Bible is confirming. So that was my main question to you. you understand now? Yeah, listen, even if other people aren't around you to confirm the same word, you stand on the word God gave you.
Speaker: In my world, i would say there are things God tells me. And I might hear someone in... Alabama, the usa say the same thing as me.
Speaker: I might not find anyone in Ireland who says the same thing. Maybe they are. Maybe God has spoken to them. But they're not in my world. And if they are, we're not having those conversations.
Speaker: um But I just have to trust that when God speaks to me, what he says sufficient. But for the big picture is stuff... na national events, international events, he will definitely speak to multiple people ahead time.
Speaker: right yes okay
Speaker: And on that note, um he does speak ahead of time. um Amos 3.7 says, Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants, the prophets.
Speaker: And we're going to look at some of those plans a little bit later tonight.
Speaker: Another thing you need to know about prophecy is it is an irrevocable gift. That means if God gives a gift, he does not take it back. even if the human decides to be a very silly billy, or even to become wicked.
Speaker: In Numbers, 2 Peter and Jude, there's a story about a man called Balaam. And Balaam was a prophet, a legitimate prophet, but a wicked prophet.
Speaker: He had a genuine gift, But people came to him and they said, hey, can you use your gift for like, you know, evil purposes, please? And he said, oh no, I couldn't possibly. And then they offered him money and but he was like, well, okay then.
Speaker: So he decided to accept the bribe. But when he tried to curse people, all he did was bless them. Because God was saying here, bless this person, bless that person, and bless that person.
Speaker: Bless the nation of Israel, specifically.
Speaker: But eventually he said, okay, you know what? Maybe that won't work. But if you give me lots of money, I will help you create a shrine pagan prostitution trap to destroy God's people.
Speaker: And that actually worked. So Balaam was not a good guy. He was a wicked prophet and he ended his life in shame.
Speaker: i am convinced he is burning in hell right now. But he was given a gift by God. and even when he became wicked, God did not take the gift back.
Speaker: So if God has given you a gift, but maybe you haven't had the opportunity to use it in a while. Maybe your church fellowship didn't want this or didn't want it from you.
Speaker: or you were too nervous of using it when you were younger, or you tried to use it, no one appreciated it, you got scared and you withdrew, Holy Spirit has still given you that gift.
Speaker: And he is the same yesterday, today and forever. And he redeems the time. He makes bad things and sad things beautiful in their time. So don't write yourself off.
Speaker: He can still use that gift and your life for incredible, incredible futures for yourself and others.
Speaker: The controversial one that people don't like is prophecy is political. If you are a prophet, you are an officer of the court of heaven on the earth.
Speaker: Heaven has lots of buildings, lots of rooms, lots of places, lots of throne rooms. There is a court in heaven where God talks to elders and angels about his plans on the earth.
Speaker: Prophets get those plans. You can look on the screen. You've got men's names. You've got women's names. They're all prophets from the Bible.
Speaker: All of them were given prophetic words regarding ruling, reigning, and politics. A lot of Christians don't like topic politics. They say, oh if you offend somebody, you've lost the argument, they'll die and go to hell, and it's all your fault. Nonsense.
Speaker: God speaks politics. He's the king of the world of heaven. Jesus is the Lord of the earth. If Jesus and God are both in political, monarchical, prime minister positions, of course he cares about what happens in a political level on the earth.
Speaker: If you have a wicked head of your nation, the body politic turns towards wickedness.
Speaker: And they'll do whatever they can to steal, kill, and destroy destinies. So that is a major one. If you have a gift of prophecy, God will tell you about politics. Because demonic principalities look for wicked human personalities through whom they can do their will.
Speaker: But if you have a righteous person at the top, you can kill abortion instantly. You can destroy human trafficking in your country.
Speaker: You can give people incredible freedoms, acknowledging the rights God has given them, and they can enjoy incredible prosperity. And spoiler alert, it is coming, people.
Speaker: Okay, let's get a little bit supernatural. Prophets are not tethered to limitations of time and space.
Speaker: You can be given, if you're a prophet... Revelation on the past. In Acts 7, there's a young Christian called Stephen, and there's a lot of information in the Bible on Moses.
Speaker: In Acts 7, Stephen gave details about Moses you do not find anywhere else in the Bible. But the rulers of his day didn't like him, so then they stoned him to death. They killed him.
Speaker: You can also get prophetic knowledge on the present. A Roman centurion came to Jesus and said, Jesus, please save my daughter. And Jesus said, yeah, within the hour she'll be grand.
Speaker: but She was nowhere near Jesus, but he proclaimed life, he prophesied life, and she lived.
Speaker: You can get revelation on the future. sir In Genesis 3.15, Jesus prophesied that a woman who was a virgin would get pregnant with a baby. And it was Mary, she got pregnant with him.
Speaker: God can show you what's happening around the world. Ezekiel is a wonderful supernatural book, a mad book. Insane, but wonderful.
Speaker: It really shows you about spiritual activity, angels, and other heavenly creatures, which we will look at towards the end of our discipleship course.
Speaker: And in this chapter, Ezekiel was taken supernaturally to the temple of God, and he saw the leaders in the temple of God worshipping demons in a secret room.
Speaker: God can show you what's happening in the spirit realm. Ezekiel saw creatures called Cherubim. They're not angels, but they do live in heaven. They're like Jesus' bodyguards.
Speaker: Not that he needs bodyguards or security.
Speaker: God can take you into the supernatural realm. you've got the spirit realm, where all the angels and demons live, as well as Jesus. then you've got the physical realm.
Speaker: In Zechariah 6, the prophet Zechariah was taken into the spirit realm where he saw a conversation happening between Jesus and the devil, where the devil wanted to destroy a man called Joshua. And Jesus said, no, no, he's clean. He's mine.
Speaker: And Jesus gave him a beautiful robe. And then he put a crown on his head.
Speaker: And he can also take you to the future. The last book of the Bible, Revelation, gives crystal clear images and about events that are still to come at the end of time.
Speaker: Now, there are lots of ways that God communicates with people. One of them is in nature. In Genesis chapter 2, 10 to 14, we're given a description of the Garden of Eden.
Speaker: There was a river Eden, but it broke into four other rivers. In one of those rivers, there was gold.
Speaker: In another land river flowed into, aromatic resin or frankincense,
Speaker: Sorry, it's close closer to myrrh. And another one, onyx. Just like the onyx stones that I wear on my rings. The gold is a picture of kingship.
Speaker: And Jesus is the king of Israel.
Speaker: Aromatic resin? That's something that you put on a corpse. After someone has died, you bury them in it. And onyx is a symbol of priesthood.
Speaker: The priest of Israel, the high priest, would later have onyx on his breastplate. But Jesus is the king of heaven and the king of Israel.
Speaker: Jesus died for the forgiveness of our sins and rose again. and he is the high priest Melchizedek. Jesus has lots in the Bible. of them is Melchizedek. That's what he's called in heaven, where he's the priest of Father God.
Speaker: So that's nature, okay? Four rivers, but the things flowing in the rivers symbolically point to Jesus' identity. Isn't that brilliant?
Speaker: And it's very similar when Jesus was born in the manger, which we celebrated just a couple weeks ago. where the wise men came and they gave the gift of gold, because he was the king.
Speaker: Myrrh, which again is for anointing a corpse before a burial. And frankincense. Incense is like a perfume um that they would use in the temple of God to represent Jesus as a priest.
Speaker: That's why they're called the wise men, because their gifts were so path prophetic. So the rivers in Eden and the gifts of the wise men, they all show Jesus' identity. Isn't that great?
Speaker: God can also speak through physical actions. In 1 Kings 11, there was a nation of Israel, a kingdom, but its king...
Speaker: was very naughty, very badly behaved. He was worshipping demons and murdering children. So God decided to punish him. So a prophet, Ahijah, came along wearing a brand new coat. I got this for Christmas, a dressing gown. And I could not imagine tearing it. It looks so, so warm and snuggly for this weather.
Speaker: But Ahijah was told by God, tear it up. He was probably thinking, God, it's a brand new coat. God said, tear it. So he tore it.
Speaker: God said, tear it again. Again.
Speaker: in total, he tore it into 12 pieces. He gave 10 of them to a man called Jeroboam.
Speaker: And he kept two.
Speaker: And this was God prophetically saying, Jeroboam, you're going to get 10 tribes of the nation of Israel, and the other two will remain with Solomon, who was the king.
Speaker: And what happened? The nation split into the kingdom of Israel in the north and the kingdom of Judah in the south. It was a physical picture of what happened in the spirit realm.
Speaker: and he never got a coat again.
Speaker: He can also speak through songs. Exodus is the second book in the Bible, and it is just the most dramatic, wonderful, incredible story.
Speaker: um For those you who've ever seen the movie The Prince of Egypt, that's Exodus. And Moses and his sister Miriam, who was a prophetess, sang a song inspired by God, and it spoke about how the Israelites crossed through the Red Sea on dry land.
Speaker: How do you cross through a sea? Only if God splits it. On dry land, only a miracle. And after God's people had crossed over from slavery, the water came and destroyed the Egyptians, who had kept them in slavery for 400 years.
Speaker: but God spoke through a song.
Speaker: He can also speak through symbols.
Speaker: In Luke 10, 25 to 37, Jesus told a story called the Good Samaritan, where he said there was a certain man, i' that certain man was in Jerusalem,
Speaker: But he decided to walk on the road to Jericho. There he fell into the hands of thieves who beat him up to a bloody pulp, who stole his coat.
Speaker: Religious leaders came along. No one was interested in helping him. Not a one.
Speaker: But then a Samaritan came on a donkey and picked him up. Got the man's blood all over his clothes. well
Speaker: And the Samaritan left him in a hotel and gave two coins to Danari and said, I'll be back.
Speaker: And if I'm late, I'll pay the rest.
Speaker: What did that story mean? Because Jesus spoke prophetically. He rarely spoke and ah in a very clear way.
Speaker: Well, the certain man is Adam, who we looked at in our first session together in this discipleship course. And he lived in Jerusalem, the Garden of Eden, a perfect place.
Speaker: But he decided to walk towards Jericho. Jericho translates in Hebrew as the moon. And the ancient Jews, rightly or wrongly,
Speaker: believed that the devil lived on the moon. So they worshipped the devil. Jericho was a wicked, evil place.
Speaker: Adam fell into the hands of the devil, the thief. The devil spoke to Eve, who then spoke to Adam through temptations,
Speaker: cried, you can be a god, you don't need Jesus, you can be a god yourself, Adam. Adam believed the thief, the devil.
Speaker: And Adam's authority was stolen. His anointing to rule and reign the earth as king and priest was gone. The devil ran away with it.
Speaker: And for the rest of the Bible, Religion tried to save people and couldn't. Faith tried to save people and couldn't. Faith plus works, they didn't want it.
Speaker: But a Samaritan came along. a Samaritan means your mother is a Jew and your father is somebody else. but That's Jesus. Because Jesus' mother was a Jew, Mary, and his father was somebody else, God.
Speaker: And Jesus came into Jerusalem on a donkey. And on the cross, he picked up bloody humanity, sinful humanity, stupid humanity, including me.
Speaker: And he left us in a hotel with the innkeeper, with Holy Spirit. And he paid two Danari. A Danari means a day's wages.
Speaker: So he paid two days wages.
Speaker: Now, 2 Peter 3.8 says that 1,000 earth years is one day in heaven. So Jesus basically said here, I'm going away for 2,000 years.
Speaker: Maybe bit longer. But I'll be back. Holy Spirit, look after my people.
Speaker: When you read that story in Luke 10... It's just a story about a guy who gets beaten up and then someone helps him.
Speaker: But God speaks prophetically where the pictures are all symbols of something deeper where there's something more going on on the page.
Speaker: Related to God speaking in symbols is God speaking in dreams. In Genesis 37, Jesus, We have the start of the story of my favorite person in the Bible, apart from Jesus, obviously.
Speaker: And his name is Joseph. Joseph was a young man he was accomplished. He was loved by his father. He was given a lovely coat that separated him from his other brothers, half-brothers.
Speaker: And God spoke to him in dreams. But his brothers did not like what he said.
Speaker: Joseph had a dream where he would be elevated above his brothers. Just like a nice little tea hat. He would be a star. But his brothers were down here.
Speaker: And his brothers hated him. So they threw him down a dry well. And they sold him into slavery. And they pretended that he had been eaten by a desert animal. They faked his death.
Speaker: It's a mad family. A great story in the Bible, but a mad family.
Speaker: But God looked after Joseph, and God made Joseph the Prime Minister of Egypt. And in a beautiful moment, his brothers did come to him. Now, he was the Prime Minister, and they were down here.
Speaker: They were his subjects. But he didn't say, ha ha ha ha, I am your king, I'm going to destroy you. No. He hugged them. He kissed them.
Speaker: He cried over them and he forgave them.
Speaker: He had had a dream that he would be exalted above them. That happened.
Speaker: But when the dream played out, God wasn't dividing the family. he was finally putting them back together again. And I believe that for some of you on this chat who are having a lot of family difficulties and have had for many years, let this be a word for you. Reread the story of Joseph.
Speaker: God has words for you. He's promised you things and he'll get you there. But it won't be so that you're distant on some far-off dreamland where the grass is greener on the other side now.
Speaker: When he gets you there, it will be to unite you with your family. I believe that's a word for someone today.
Speaker: But you don't have to be asleep for God to speak to you There are times God will speak to you when you're awake. It's called a vision. Ezekiel... If supernatural things don't freak you out, Ezekiel's a wonderful book to read.
Speaker: He has incredible visions when he's awake of heavenly creatures who serve God. And they are freaky and they're weird and they look like animal hybrids and they're covered in eyeballs and it's bizarre, but it's brilliant.
Speaker: but but And you've just got this man in the desert trying to describe what he sees in human language. It's nuts, but it's a fabulous book.
Speaker: And then we've got prophetic narratives. Time comes from God.
Speaker: Like material, time is a fabric that God speaks into.
Speaker: And parallels of time occur, which is why past times can fit perfectly into present and future times. So you can read the Bible, a living word, a living book,
Speaker: And you can feel like you're actually going through the same thing as a Bible hero. It's a prophetic narrative, history repeating itself. And the Bible actually tells you that this does happen. Ecclesiastes 1.9 says, What has been will be again.
Speaker: What has been done will be done again. There's nothing new under the sun.
Speaker: a couple chapters later in 3.15...
Speaker: What is happening now has happened before. and what will happen in the future has happened before. Because God makes the same things happen over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Speaker: he will call the past to account. Now you might ask yourself, why? It's because God knows that life is hard.
Speaker: That we have enemies who want destroy us. And you know what? They want to destroy Bible heroes too. But because we live in a cycle, you can read about how other Bible heroes beat evil in their time, and now you can do it in your time.
Speaker: Think of how the enemy tries to erase time. After the French Revolution seventeen hundreds the devil... inspired certain people to try to bring time back to the year zero.
Speaker: or think of how the European Union changed all the euro notes a few years ago. it's no longer b c and A.D. It's now B.C.E. C.E.
Speaker: After a certain event, they try to remove Jesus' life entirely. Or how we used to say, before Christ, Ammo Domini.
Speaker: Now everyone's life is before COVID, right? The enemy is always trying to disrupt time, to change time. Because if you don't have a past, you don't have a future, let's be honest.
Speaker: But if you know your past, do you know your history, you're able to fight evil in your day and win.
Speaker: And God will speak to you because he already knows what's coming. because he's already been to the end of all things. Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
Speaker: And in Isaiah 46 10, he says this, I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times that is to come. I say, my purpose will stand and I will do all that I please.
Speaker: God foreknows everything. So when he speaks to you, it's because he already knows what's coming. And he wants you to win.
Speaker: He wants you to accomplish his will in your time, so that evil does not triumph, so evil does not succeed.
Speaker: Okay, part three. Some important things to keep in mind regarding prophecy. At this point, I'll just say I know this is one of the heavier lessons we've done. I hope no one feels like they're drowning.
Speaker: If this is all too heavy for you, that's okay. Put it to the back of your minds. At some point in the future, it will make sense. But I hope you can all follow it so far.
Speaker: Okay, with prophecy, sometimes you have to wait. Think of what Isaiah said earlier on 740 years before it happened about Jesus.
Speaker: And even in Genesis 1, it starts with God, it's actually Jesus, saying, light be, let there be light, light shine.
Speaker: And you know what, friends? Nothing happened for about 12 hours. but Because it says there was evening and there was morning. So Jesus spoke and all the angels were like, ooh, I'm the cherubim, the seraphim. ah
Speaker: And then they started looking at their watches, looking around, this is awkward. do two Whistling, you know, feeling a bit bit nervous. Oh, were the demons right? Is Jesus a liar? ah He said, light And there was only darkness.
Speaker: But about 12 hours later, He shone his own light, but they had to wait for it. There had to be trust. Imagine, even angels had to trust God.
Speaker: Oh well.
Speaker: Or then we see it's also bit later in verse 11. He says, land, produce trees and fruit and food and flowers.
Speaker: Well, get Genesis chapter two and it still hadn't happened. happens And it didn't happen until after man was sent. Adam and Eve.
Speaker: Now the Garden of Eden grew supernaturally quickly, fair enough. But for the rest of the world, the growth was a process. He had planted seeds in the ground and they had to get watered, but you know, they still grew at a natural pace, not with great acceleration.
Speaker: So when God speaks, He speaks it into the earth. But sometimes you have to wait in its fulfillment. And that's where we have to trust, where we have to have faith.
Speaker: But here's perhaps a less funny note.
Speaker: Prophecies can be stolen.
Speaker: God has a plan for every human. A good plan, a perfect plan, a pleasing plan. a plan for hope, for good, to give you a future. So you reach an expected end.
Speaker: But demons don't have a future. Their future is a dimension called the Lake of Fire, where they will drown in flames forever. And they want to take your future with them.
Speaker: So because they don't have a future, they're determined to steal yours. So Satan's objective is to steal timelines, destinies, to kill people, and to destroy everything God has for you.
Speaker: And it is possible for your destiny to be stolen.
Speaker: and In Numbers 13, God told the Israelites after they left Egypt, this day i have given you the promised land, a land of milk,
Speaker: Honey, growth, fertility, massive houses you have not even built, but you can just walk in and take them. In you go. And the people said no.
Speaker: Two guys said yes. The rest of them said no. So what happened? They walked round and round and round and round and round and round and round a desert.
Speaker: until every single one of them was dead, apart from the two men and their families who had said, God, yeah, we'll go in. They were old by the time they got in but those two families survived.
Speaker: The rest of them lost their destiny, missed out on their purpose, on everything God had for them. So that's where we have to be vigilant. When God speaks, believe him, trust him, have faith,
Speaker: And even when you feel poorly, or you feel doubt creeping in encourage yourself. Even if no one else is encouraging you. No one else is WhatsApping you.
Speaker: No one else saying, oh, I'm praying for your brother in Jesus' name. Encourage yourself. Because you're destiny. And it can be stolen.
Speaker: but my goodness, stepping into it is a million times more incredible. Can i ask you, Brandon? so you can. Yeah. so So, if the destiny can be stolen, yeah um
Speaker: ah can you take it back? Absolutely. And that's the next PowerPoint slide, Anne-Katherine. That was a very timely question.
Speaker: Okay, and then one more question. that What about the timeline? You said... um
Speaker: to steal the timeline yeah so let's say your birth on the earth was determined by God no matter what any person says to you you're not a mistake he chose to send the little soul and spirit Anne Catherine into that dot of flesh at just the right time and he knows what he wants you to achieve every single day the people he wants you to connect with, the people he wants you to bless, let's say, um in Norway, internationally. Jeanette's like, we've just been mentioned. but um Things that you're going to say that will be recorded in your lifetime.
Speaker: That someone will watch after you are dead decades later, and they will find Jesus because of what you said in a recording on a live stream on YouTube in 2025. That is your timeline.
Speaker: Everything you do on the earth and all the ripple effects thereafter. Your timeline is your full destiny on the earth. God has planned it all.
Speaker: He's determined it all. But we have to make a decision in the day today to be bold, courageous, faithful and humble and to step into it.
Speaker: Yeah, because when you say to steal the timeline, that that is that is when he kills people, right? it can be It can be killing people or it could be breaking someone's heart so much that they're still alive.
Speaker: But everything God puts in them just stays in them. And they never utilize it. God puts people in their path to encourage and they choose not to encourage them. God gives an opportunity and they say, oh no, not me. Oh, that's for someone else. Oh no.
Speaker: It's all your timeline. Okay. great So your life on the earth and everything you are to do with your life on the earth. And everything that happens as a result of your life on the earth.
Speaker: Okay. Yes, thank you. You're welcome. But I loved your first question in particular. Timelines can be stolen, but they can be redeemed and brought back.
Speaker: In 2 Kings 20, there's a particular um king, Hezekiah, and he's on his deathbed.
Speaker: And the prophet Isaiah... A very accurate prophet, who I've mentioned twice now, came along. and he said, I'm sorry, my king, but you will surely die.
Speaker: you will not recover. This is the end. So after that good news, Isaiah walked away. and he got to the middle of the courtyard in the palace.
Speaker: And Hezekiah rolled over. And he wept. He said, God, forgive me. Remember the good things I've done on the earth. Oh God, you're so good.
Speaker: Help me. i don't want it to end this way. And God said, okay, grand. And he had an extra 15 years into his life. And then Isaiah had to run back and say, hey, sorry. Remember I said you're going die? yeah Forget that. You're going to live.
Speaker: so Because what God wanted was Hezekiah's humble heart. And that's what he got. So God said, okay. but And I believe there will be a lot of these.
Speaker: A lot of Christians have been very ineffective for a very long time. and Maybe their hope had been lost and they've been so disappointed for so long that they just got sick in their heart. This got heart sick.
Speaker: or they've been so afraid of being bullied or pressured or traumatized. um And we've missed a lot of opportunities show God's love to people.
Speaker: But i believe there will be a lot of Hezekiahs in the very near future. a lot of people finally aligning with getting their act together, saying, not my way, God, but yours.
Speaker: And a lot of timelines will be redeemed. It's very exciting, so get ready. no
Speaker: So here are a couple things, and literally I'll only go into two, and then I look at a prophetic narrative that God has spoken to me about. One of them was a dream he gave me in 2017. If you've ever wondered what my head looks like, it's basically this.
Speaker: yeah okay This what I have to put up with every night. With my, where is it? With my dream journal. I always write down my dreams as soon as I wake up. I've just got big boxes full of dreams.
Speaker: And in one of them in 2017, God showed me the continent of Asia.
Speaker: This video might get hidden on YouTube when I use the C word, but he showed me COVID coming out of Asia. Yeah.
Speaker: And then I saw TV screens. And on every television, I saw witches and vampires. Witches who lie to you.
Speaker: And vampires who want to suck the life out of you.
Speaker: The human race became zombies.
Speaker: And then I saw the Red Sea. Just like I showed you earlier with them Moses and Miriam singing and the Egyptians getting washed away.
Speaker: and then, this incredible white light. So I sat up and I began writing down what God had shown me. And he said, Brendan, a terrible sickness is going to come out of Asia.
Speaker: And he said, all the media reports... All the journalists, all the reporters, will be witches and vampires.
Speaker: They will lie to you, again and again, day after day, year after year, because they want to suck the life out of you, like a vampire.
Speaker: What is a zombie? It's a dead person walking.
Speaker: They want to suck hope out of you, joy out of you, destiny out of you, vitality out of you, so that you're half dead.
Speaker: But then I saw the Red Sea. And at the Red Sea, God's people crossed over with the intention of getting to Promised Land. And then...
Speaker: washed the evil Egyptians, the slave drivers, murderers, baby killers away. Finito.
Speaker: Destroyed the Egyptian empire.
Speaker: And God said, on the other side of justice is the white light of revival. My church will be awakened. And the nations are pretty much dead, let's be honest.
Speaker: But they're going to come alive in a major way.
Speaker: We have seen most of that dream come to pass already.
Speaker: But I'm telling you, no matter what you hear on the news, or no matter how bad things get, and I think this year will be a hairy one, justice is coming.
Speaker: And God is not just going to remove one evil empire, it's going global. And he will resurrect the nations. You're going to see so many broken people getting fixed.
Speaker: So many sick people getting healed. Dead people are going to come alive. Bound people will be freed. Hell will be depopulated and heaven is going to get a lot fuller.
Speaker: And we live to see these days. So get excited. Now I'm giving you the good news before I give you the bad news. Here's the bad news. ah This is a vision. i was awake for this one.
Speaker: That God gave me in 2021. But I'm pretty sure concerns this year.
Speaker: First I saw the earth. And then I saw a shadowy dragon in, when I was writing it, I think I call it Operation Leviathan. The enemy enemy's endgame.
Speaker: And it covered over the face of the earth.
Speaker: Next I saw a seagull. Not my favourite bird, I'll be honest. I'm not a big animal person to begin with, but seagulls, I hate them. Probably because I work in Dublin City Centre and they're everywhere as big as cats and dogs.
Speaker: um But in the seagull's mouth, I saw people. And the people shot yellow light out of their mouths. And then a white light came down from heaven, penetrated the darkness, and the darkness was pushed back.
Speaker: We have a lot of spiritual enemies and a lot of human enemies that A lot of political enemies, a lot of celebrity enemies, people who absolutely despise the Western world, despise Jesus, despise people, let's be honest.
Speaker: And I believe this year is going to start off very, very difficult. I don't think we're too far away from a global recession being announced.
Speaker: And I'm pretty sure the enemy has some other secret plans to absolutely destroy the nations once and for all.
Speaker: But I said, okay, God, that's bad news, but you give good news. You encourage your children, thanks be to God. Why a seagull? Seriously? Well, firstly, it's a white bird.
Speaker: So God was saying, i will unleash the heavenly host, that's heaven's army, on the earth in these days to fight against our spiritual enemies.
Speaker: And I said, okay, sure, great. It's what they're there for. And God said, it's not a seagull.
Speaker: It's a seagull. S-E-E. Using your eyes. Prophecy. And that's why there are people in the seagull's mouth.
Speaker: God has seers, prophets who see. Visionaries, dreamers, prophets. Revelators, people he takes up and down to heaven.
Speaker: And the heavenly host. And the prophets are going to speak light. When they speak God's word. A word of faith.
Speaker: A word from the Bible, what God showed them in a vision, in a dream, word of hope, a word of consolation, word of encouragement, a word of comfort, word of edification.
Speaker: It's like a bazooka shooting into the darkness. Light, light, light, light, light. light
Speaker: And we're not alone. We're collaborators with Jesus, co-laborers, we work with him. And his light is the most powerful light. He is the light of the world. He is the light of every world there is And his light is going to push back the darkness in our time.
Speaker: and I believe it will push back the darkness so much that it will never be this evil again. Until after we're all dead, gone, raptured, and the apocalypse takes place.
Speaker: We have been so blessed to live in the most exciting days this Earth has ever seen. Days when we will see good, loved, evil, hated, resisted, and pushed back.
Speaker: But destinies can be stolen. So don't be apathetic, don't be passive. We have to fight for it. And we don't fight with guns and swords.
Speaker: Sometimes you need to, we don't in this case. But we fight with faith. We fight with the word of God. We fight with prophecy.
Speaker: We fight with God's report. c So no matter how bad this year seems when it starts, I know on the 1st of January, we already had terrorist attacks in America, for instance.
Speaker: But the most incredible days are ahead. And we will live to see God's goodness in the land of the living if we take a stand.
Speaker: Can you please explain this global thing? I didn't understand the rest of the sentence. You said global, and I did understand word global, but after that I didn't understand what you were saying. the light is you speaking God's word, God's opinion, God's report.
Speaker: So let's say this is the darkness. And my phone is the light. When you speak, you're shining the light into the darkness.
Speaker: Pushing back the darkness. and Okay? But it wasn't just one person speaking faith. It has to be a group effort. We need all the church working together.
Speaker: ah But hold on. How does... How this has something to do with that global thing? You said global. Yeah, because it's not just going to be for Ireland...
Speaker: It's not just going to be for Finland. Does God love Syria? Yes, he has big plans for Syria. I know things are bad now. He has super plans. It's not just for Nigeria.
Speaker: They're global. They're worldwide. Because the enemy is going for a worldwide takeover. But you're going to see a worldwide move of God.
Speaker: If his children take a stand in these days. Okay, can you explain this another thing? This Leviathan, I didn't understand that either.
Speaker: An attack. What it is exactly, i have ideas.
Speaker: But i think the specific I think all the specifics have yet to be revealed. But i have some I have some ideas. I'm very certain I know what they are.
Speaker: But um I think you will see a massive economic crisis and I think you will see a massive health crisis. Worse than in 2020.
Speaker: And maybe something else. So it is true. Yeah. They're... You very evil people.
Speaker: When good people, God's people work together with God, Wonderful things happen on the earth. When evil people work with evil forces and God's people are lazy, well, the world looks like this.
Speaker: So i think right there's a remnant, a small number of God's people who are, who still want to fight against the darkness and see truth reign, see goodness reign, holiness reign,
Speaker: But um if we unite, if we stand strong, we stand on the Bible, the word of God, the prophetic word he releases, we're going to step into the greatest days.
Speaker: We'll create the world we want our children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren to live in.
Speaker: and im simply to get Can I add something? yep just Just to be a little positive. and So ah last year in Norway, there has been a lot of exposure for people doing bad things higher up in, in like in the government. so So they have removed some people.
Speaker: looks like ah ah they are being caught. ah So that is, I think that is, um Normally, Norway is is is is the last one getting COVID and on. but But this time, I think maybe we are in front of the exposure ring because it is something is happening. It is being exposed. It's been revealed and people are being removed from their positions.
Speaker: So that is what is I think is going to happen is to the good people come up in the good position the
Speaker: but do So for Janita, just to make you a little bit...
Speaker: trusteeia no That's a super contribution, Anne Catherine, and it's necessary. um And it is one of the reasons I included that prophecy is political.
Speaker: Because a lot of Christians, they don't like supporting a certain politician because what if they committed one sin in their life? Scandal! Nonsense.
Speaker: um Or, you know, what if you don't agree with every single policy? But the reality is the Bible has two books called kings. but And every prophet dealt with kings. So God is very interested in politicians and presidents and prime ministers, in kings and queens.
Speaker: And this revival he's bringing in and the wave of justice, um it has to be political as well. because the evil people are still at the top,
Speaker: the big turnaround isn't going last for very long. it has to affect every level of society, but especially the top. So I would say when you hear wickedness being done in Norway, human trafficking, murder, po political corruption, you just say, no way, Norway.
Speaker: and And I always say, no way, Jose. Don't know who Jose is. You say, no way, Jose. You say, no way, Norway. Not happening here. This is God's country. Amen.
Speaker: You've been exposed up and out of my land. In Jesus' name, amen. andmen Amen. So this so-called sickening, I have to say, I have to use that word.
Speaker: I don't remember who was talking about that. but they were there But they were saying that it would happen this year that would be would be even more worse than COVID.
Speaker: And I was like, yeah, yeah, right. This is happening again. They were all, COVID is so bad. It's killing killing many people. Really.
Speaker: I believe this one will. I think with COVID, did people die? Yes. but the alarmism the fear was more destructive what they have planned next is designed to kill people and to kill them fast but the one thing is this as we as god children amen we are covered it will not touch us in the mud of jesus that is the truth we are saved
Speaker: No sickness will, no matter how bad sickness it is, it will not touch us in the modern name of Jesus. that is what yeah but that That is what I will declare over us, all all over of us in the modern name of Jesus.
Speaker: Amen. Thank you for that. I receive it, Lord. Amen. Amen. Okay, guys. So here are a couple chapters in the Bible. which perfectly describe what we're going through as a world right now.
Speaker: And the chapters in the Bible are 2 Kings, chapters 6 to 7.
Speaker: This story starts in a time of famine. And... leaders around the world are trying very hard to create a famine, to create food shortages.
Speaker: um in Ireland, for instance, agriculture is one of our main industries, and our government is absolutely determined to make life as difficult as possible for agriculturalists, for farmers.
Speaker: um They're trying to destroy their way of life, but... They want to kill 200,000 cows for no reason. We also have fishing industry, and they're trying to destroy that. They want a food shortage, effectively.
Speaker: Because when you have no food, you will either die or you will do whatever the government tells you to. So famine represents hunger.
Speaker: And extreme scarcity of food. Right. Right. Poverty. a scary number Christians are afraid of having money. The church needs money in order to revive the nations.
Speaker: Deprivation. Lack. Want. Deficiency. Food shortages.
Speaker: And the days we're living in? Not only are governments trying to destroy their country's economies, but we're also living in days when there's a famine of morality.
Speaker: There's a famine of loving life. There's a famine of having respect for men, women, and children.
Speaker: There's a famine of caring about old people.
Speaker: There is a famine of caring about the name of Jesus. Almost every person you meet, Jesus is a cuss word.
Speaker: There's a famine of respect even for the human body. I remember when i made that when I was making this lesson, I don't watch TV, but the TV was on, and there's a British channel called Channel 4, Ireland Gets British Stations, i called and as an advertisement came on for a show called Naked Attraction, where you see someone's naked body before you ever even speak to them. Just crass defilement.
Speaker: But there's also a famine of biblical literacy. And that's not me saying you have to join my discipleship program or you're not a Bible scholar or student. I'm not saying that at all.
Speaker: But a lot of people just don't know the word of God and just don't want to. Amos 8, 11 to 14 even says, The days are coming, declares the sovereign Lord, when I will send a famine through the land.
Speaker: Not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of God. People will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it.
Speaker: In that day, the lovely young women and strong young men will faint because of thirst. Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, who say, but surely as where God lives, Dan, or surely the God of Bathsheba lives,
Speaker: They'll fall, never to rise again. i mean, we live in days when there are people who just, who don't even if Holy Spirit is a who or a what.
Speaker: They don't know about the love of God. They know nothing about the sacrifice of Jesus or why he died. And with the lack of knowledge, people perish.
Speaker: Because if they don't know and they haven't been told, how can they believe?
Speaker: The famine was so bad 2 Kings 6 that people began eating the heads of donkeys and literal bird crap.
Speaker: Birds would poop or crap and fly away And people would buy it for a top dollar.
Speaker: It's like in Luke 15, 16, the story the prodigal son, when the rich son went away, spent all his father's money on prostitutes, and then he looked at the corn cobs the pigs were eating, and he was so starved of relationship with the father that he wanted to eat pig food.
Speaker: While the pigs were eating it. He just wanted to jump on all fours and gorge himself with it.
Speaker: You know, we have an expression in English. I don't know if other countries have it. I'm so hungry i could eat a horse. Well, they didn't want to eat horses. They wanted to eat donkeys. and another the whole donkey?
Speaker: Just a head. And they were paying 80 silver shekels for a donkey head. I would not give...
Speaker: Five cents for donkey head. They were paying 80 shekels of silver. And to get bird crap? Five shekels of silver. If someone told me to eat bird crap, I would tell them to pay me money before I ate it.
Speaker: They paid silver for this. And that's because when extreme spiritual hunger sets in, People will gorge themselves and devour even wicked, evil, disgusting crap to fill the void.
Speaker: We even see here are some recent statistics from 2023. The porn industry, their main moneymaker was Sonny Leon. $14 million.
Speaker: nuts OnlyFans, the main income earner, if we even call it a job, was Black China. $240 million. dollars Now she has since become a Christian, thank you Jesus.
Speaker: Money made from the drug trafficking industry? $32 billion. And the most scary of all, money made from human trafficking and modern slavery?
Speaker: $236 billion, dollars the most expensive it's ever been. it is the highest earning industry in the world, human sex trafficking.
Speaker: When people don't have the word of God, and they have a famine of peace, of love, of faith and of joy, and morality is in decline, this is what people gorge themselves on.
Speaker: This is what people satisfy, or try to satisfy their souls with.
Speaker: King Ahab, we're told, was walking on the castle walls, looking down at all the the poor people, the peasants, the plebs. And you know, he was wearing his robes. He looked all Hollywood-like and stylish, like a celebrity.
Speaker: But when he actually saw the state the world was in, well, the country was in he tore his robes in two That event is called Karaya.
Speaker: It's a way of showing that you're in distress because of what your people are going through. And underneath his robes was sackcloth. Sackcloth was made from goat hair.
Speaker: It was when you would dress in uncomfortable clothes because your country was going through something uncomfortable, something terrifying.
Speaker: Ahab was a murderer, an arsonist, a horrible individual, a hunter of the souls of men and prophets.
Speaker: But he didn't say, oh God, I'm so sorry. Have I done this? Is this my fault? Ugh. No. He said, i blame Elisha, the prophet. It's all his fault, obviously, somehow, for some reason.
Speaker: No responsibility.
Speaker: No solutions. And no responsibility. Aren't we living in days like that? When all the elites, all the poli- well, not all, but many politicians, celebrities, millionaires, billionaires, trillionaires, they all have a problem.
Speaker: And it's all the problem of Americans. It's all the problems of conservatives. It's the problem of Christians. the problem of white men. They're all pointing the blame, the blaming finger at somebody.
Speaker: But they never blame themselves. And they might look fancy in their lovely clothes, but they have no solutions. They can't actually fix the problem either.
Speaker: So all they do is blame everybody else. Isn't that what we're going through right now?
Speaker: The scariest part of this chapter of the Bible is chapter 6, 28 to 29, where there were two women and they said, kick you see that woman?
Speaker: We made a deal. We said yesterday we would cook and eat my baby. And today would cook and eat her baby. We ate my baby yesterday and now she's hidden her baby. um She's a skank. She's a slut. She's a liar.
Speaker: When famine sets in, a famine of the word of God, a famine of love, of faith, of respect, dignity for human life, people devour each other.
Speaker: You go on Facebook, Instagram, X, and your rice like you post an edgy meme where you write your opinion, someone's going to hate it. You say, oh, I'm a Christian, someone's going to try to destroy you.
Speaker: You say, you have any opinion whatsoever on let's say, pandemics or face masks or a politics, Donald Trump, for instance, someone's going to disagree,
Speaker: and cannibalize you, to devour you, try to destroy you. Not people fighting evil, people fighting people. Not people coming together and fighting a common enemy.
Speaker: People tearing each other to shreds. Christians tearing each other to shreds. Oh, I don't like your church. Your church says this. i used to to your church, but now I don't, and I hate having your Absolute nonsense.
Speaker: But that's what happens in days of famine.
Speaker: And Zach and King, say, and Catherine, go on. Oh, no, I'm just commenting in the Norwegian. Yeah. okay I will assume it was a good observation. I'll say amen on faith. but I was just saying, yeah, I really believe that. So, yeah.
Speaker: Yeah. No, it's no very sad, but but it's true. it's it's It's so sad. It's...
Speaker: I can almost not look at that picture because it'ss william it's really devastating. It is. But it's it's the act it's it's sometimes sometimes I have to go into myself and say, okay, you know that God loves everybody. Amen.
Speaker: so So we just have to be see the de the demons are destroying people, right? And not look at the person, but at the demons. Yeah. It's not easy. It's not easy. No, it's not easy.
Speaker: um as Especially our next example, when people are complicit. In 2 Kings 7, 17-19, there's an officer.
Speaker: Officer has different meanings in the Hebrew. it can be a captain, a general of a third rank, the third in command, a chariot warrior.
Speaker: But this is interesting in Hebrew. Officer is the same word for um for a musical instrument, a musician. It looks at the relationship between people in power and the entertainment industry.
Speaker: Think of, for example, now we can say this about any country, but I know America had a big election there a couple months ago, so we'll go with them. But Kamala Harris. She had no policies whatsoever, no ideas. The only thing people knew she wanted was abortion, let's be honest, to kill children.
Speaker: Here are only some of the politicians, sorry, celebrities paid for by politicians, who were on her side, who supported her, who advocated for her.
Speaker: And there are dozens upon dozens upon dozens. I just couldn't fit them all on the screen.
Speaker: Aren't we living in days when the entertainment industry and wicked politicians are working together for the plans of evil that are anti-life?
Speaker: I know this all seems very scary. There is a good part the end, of worry. We're almost there.
Speaker: But the officer did not just stay close to the king or the army. The king gave him a new job. to be a gatekeeper. Hello.
Speaker: A gatekeeper controls who goes in and who goes out. It's all about access. So for instance, we can think of how there are attempts in the world right now um to create, let's say, the green tanks so that you're not able to travel and by flight anymore.
Speaker: They basically only want the elites flying around in airplanes, private jets. They don't want the middle class flying around. Or in 2020, you know, we had the breadlines where you couldn't go into a shop unless you're masked up.
Speaker: Or in 2021, you had to have, you know, your COVID passport, for instance. Now listen, it's not my business if people get vaccinated or not. It's... I don't much care, really.
Speaker: um But we can see that this Bible story was written about 3,000 years ago, and we're living in it today.
Speaker: And then on the 9th of August, 2015, maybe some of you remember this. i remember at the time thinking, what the what? On the Empire State Building in America...
Speaker: a Hindu goddess called Kali, the goddess of death, was lit up.
Speaker: Christians in America freaked out, oh my goodness, the evil people have taken over, they want to destroy us! But basically the artist responsible for creating it and said, oh no, i this isn't Kali.
Speaker: which it was, they said this is a Mother in Nature. Yeah. and Because human beings are killing all the animals. So basically, they rebranded Mother Nature as the Goddess of Death.
Speaker: Now, in Hinduism, as anyone who from India could tell you, this woman, goddess, creature, thing, demon,
Speaker: is known am historically that people would sacrifice humans to this goddess. And basically, the artist chose her to say that the Green Agenda, politicians, were seeking revenge against the human race.
Speaker: They wanted it to kill people as punishment. for destroying the rainforests or harming nature.
Speaker: And even in newspapers, it says the UN, n the United Nations climate change official, says we should make every effort to depopulate the planet.
Speaker: Hello. That means killing people. Or the late Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the Queen of England's husband, said...
Speaker: In the event that I am reincarnated, brought back to life, I would like to return as a deadly virus in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation. i would like to be a virus and kill people.
Speaker: This is what politicians and elites and the media say about people. And then we had an incident.
Speaker: In segwayne? Very sick. It is. It is. And this is probably maybe even worse. Moses got the Ten Commandments on top of Mount Sinai, or also called Mount Horeb.
Speaker: So activists of the Green New Deal, the Green is Agenda, the let's depopulate the human race and save the animals, save the trees,
Speaker: They went up Mount Sinai and they made a new Ten Commandments to Mother Nature. So basically you see this combination of religious leaders, politicians, celebrities, artists, entertainers, millionaires, billionaires coming together to be gatekeepers, to stop you from being able to move around to limit your freedoms.
Speaker: Everything I've just mentioned, that Bible story is happening today.
Speaker: But here's the good part. The Bible also gives solutions and strategies. In 2 Kings 6.32, know it's getting a bit late, so we will finish up in the next few minutes.
Speaker: We find Elisha. He was God's main prophet in these days. And he wasn't alone. He was in a house. with his friends, the other prophets, the other men of God.
Speaker: At times like this, we need to keep godly company. Sometimes we get so stressed and so afraid, it's just easier just to be alone. We think if we're alone, we don't have to deal with drama.
Speaker: No, God doesn't want you alone. He wants you to be connected to his children.
Speaker: They had the door locked. They were sensible. There was security.
Speaker: And the number one thing you have to keep secure is your heart.
Speaker: Proverbs 4, 23 to 27 says this. Above all else, guard your heart. For everything you do flows from your heart.
Speaker: Keep your mouth free of perversity. Don't be saying wicked things. Keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead.
Speaker: Fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the pats of your feet. And be steadfast in all your ways. Be a steady Eddie. Let your yes be yes and your no be no.
Speaker: Do not turn to the right to the left to keep your foot from evil.
Speaker: And the men of God also stood on God's word. They knew what God had said. This famine will not last forever. It will end.
Speaker: Better days are ahead. So take courage. Stand strong. Don't fall into unbelief and despair.
Speaker: Outside the city, there were four lepers. Four men with a skin disease. And you know what? They were the weirdos.
Speaker: They were the freaks. Only a few small people. Most people didn't like them or want to be around them. But they stayed together. Even if people don't like you.
Speaker: Even if people think you're high maintenance. Or you're crazy. or you're the weird person of the family, stay connected to other people anyway.
Speaker: Because how good and pleasant is it when God's people are together in unity. There the Lord commands a blessing, even life forevermore.
Speaker: And Proverbs 30, 27 talks about locusts and how they achieve their destiny. You never just see one locust, one insect. They travel in a group.
Speaker: They travel in a rank. They advance together. Their strength is in numbers.
Speaker: And these days require courage. For those lepers, they had to make a decision. No one likes us. If we go into the city with our skin disease, the gatekeeper will probably kill us.
Speaker: If we go to the army who is surrounding the city, which has created the famine, they will probably kill us. But you know what? Screw it.
Speaker: Let's go to the army, to the enemy, and see if they'll help. It takes courage. Involved taking risks, taking decisions. And you know what? Sometimes there are no good decisions, but you have to do something.
Speaker: And God's with you. And he goes before you. and he surrounds you. It may look like you're surrounded by evil, but you're surrounded by almighty God.
Speaker: And that's what they did. They made a decision not to live in fear. but to do something risky and dangerous in the hope of finding food in a famine.
Speaker: And the host of heaven made sure that they did. Because God sent the host of heaven, his army, one of his regiments, to go.
Speaker: It was like the sound of horse hooves, like an earthquake. And the enemy surrounding the city were like, oh, there's an enemy. We don't know where they are. well And they all ran away. but And God's going to do that. He's already doing that. a lot of the exposure we've seen is the heavenly host exposing it.
Speaker: But we're going to see more of that. God's army terrifying our political enemies.
Speaker: So the lepers arrived at the enemy's camp. And all the soldiers were gone. But they had left their food behind. They had left their water behind. Their clothes, their gold.
Speaker: And the lepers were like, this is amazing!
Speaker: So they ate and they drank. And they buried some of the things underground. who we're going to come back for this later. This is mine now.
Speaker: But then they made a decision. And they said, you know what?
Speaker: The enemy's been defeated. This is good news. We can't keep this to ourselves. That would be wrong. Everyone in the city has to know the good news. Everybody.
Speaker: So they went back to the city of God. And they said, Yoo-hoo, only me. The enemy's gone. the famine is over. The siege is over. You're free.
Speaker: And all the food's back there. Eat and be satisfied. Eat and be glad. Eat the word of God. Learn about the cross of Jesus. The blood is sufficient. It has not lost its power.
Speaker: Disease will not overtake you. Pandemics will not kill you. the plans of the enemy will not destroy you. Poverty is not your portion. Come on Let's go
Speaker: And the people heard the good news. And they were so excited that they ran out the city gate and they killed the gatekeeper. yeah Squashed him.
Speaker: And I believe that's what God is telling us today. Not to go start killing politicians. If you do that, don't leave me in your eventual suicide note. I'll not accept responsibility.
Speaker: But he is saying, stay together. Stay connected. Believe the word you've heard from him him say, whether himself or through other people.
Speaker: And don't keep the good news to yourself. It's too good to keep it to yourself. Share it liberally. The hosts of heaven are on your side, fighting the battles you cannot fight.
Speaker: And the enemy that has come against you will be crushed, literally in this case. The enemy that wants you dead will be washed away.
Speaker: And days of revival are your portion.
Speaker: So guys, I know that was a long one today. i appreciate your engagement, your participation, your time. Are there any comments, questions or observations on any of that before i release you all to your beds?
Speaker: but Before the work and week resumes tomorrow.
Speaker: No, actually, and this was very thorough. Is that word? It is. It is. Yes. Um, So, yeah, the question, yeah, it's nice it's nice to to ask you when you are teaching because it's not easy to... Remember afterwards.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah. So, yeah. So, it was very good. a little bit... ah A little heavy.
Speaker: some Some of it is tough, yeah, but it's not based on that. So you can, and yeah, it's just, you're just being transparent. So it's, these things are happening.
Speaker: That's it. That's it. um Yeah. it's It's just like Ecclesiastes, what has been is, what will be was, it all repeats in a cycle.
Speaker: Yeah. Sometimes on a personal level, Sometimes on a national level, sometimes on an international level. But 2 Kings is absolutely happening on a multinational, intercontinental level.
Speaker: But look at that ending. but God looks after his kids. Yes. Yes, he loves the gatekeepers too. And yes, I believe he's delaying Because he wants the wicked to get in on the blessing.
Speaker: to just say, you know what? I'm going to stop hating Jesus and Christians. I'm going to be one. i love Jesus. He's great. Even those evil people on the earth today, Jesus wants them to.
Speaker: Jesus died for them too. yeah um And I believe he's being patient on their behalf. But there is, there there will come a point that when they will have to make a decision once and for all to get on God's timeline because otherwise they will get swept away.
Speaker: Yeah, but I mean, it has to be as pretty dark before they, you know, sometimes you don't act before you like, yeah you're almost choking, right? so So it has to be dark, but I sense that the people around me are speaking. They they are getting...
Speaker: and The fear the fear is coming and they watch more and more news and they get more and more like stressed because it's bad news. yeah so So, yeah. So it's a circle, right? but um But there is also a pattern because God is working in in pattern as well. So things are, firstly, it has to be dark before it can get light.
Speaker: then the light will penetrate, like you were saying, and it will through. So when the dark is the dark is dark, then the lights are brighter because of the darkness. That's right.
Speaker: Yeah, signs all the brighter. Amen. Amen. um I'll be honest, I for one refuse to watch the news. I get the news before the news, because get it from God.
Speaker: But in terms of what the TV has to say... I am so utterly totally not interested. Sometimes i will look at it retroactively just I can say, yes, God was right. Yes, I saw that dream. Yes, I had a vision.
Speaker: But looking for facts and truth? Not a chance. i hope stopped also and I have My aunt is asked she's saying to me, you don't you don't watch the news. you don't want like She's kind of accusing me. And I said, she's not a Christian. so yeah um So it's hard to say. I get my news from, i get enough information. I get my news from the future. And they're like, what? Well, in the past, it was in your future. as she'll be so confused she won't ask any follow-up questions.
Speaker: but it's very good teaching, Brandon, very good teaching. Thank you very much. i appreciate at that. Thank you. It's amazing. thing Janita, what are you saying? yeah ah You are thinking. I'm so tired. I can't eat it.
Speaker: I haven't been just listening, but I have now that you said that. Thanks, Jamie. Thanks, Sharon, for the message in chat box. Thank you so much, ladies. Jamie, have a good night. Can on you need that?
Speaker: So now that you said that, Anna-Kathryn, I have to watch the name. i i Honestly, my brain is like... That's not like... What?
Speaker: Okay, so anyway... ah about that sickness thing. So, Brendan, have I understood correctly? It's that wicked people are then not only wicked people, but also powers of darkness are trying to and will and will release some kind of sickness.
Speaker: That is not natural sickness, but they have been Let's say like COVID, people made that virus. So it's the same thing now coming up.
Speaker: Yeah, you see when Adam was made, he could instantly walk and talk, think, think.
Speaker: exercise faith he had to believe that jesus had made him he could have said it wasn't you i was born from amoeba he had to use faith he had to make a decision to marry eve as his wife and to initiate a romantic relationship with her um he had to reason that my body needs food and water to survive um to rule and reign on the earth, to take dominion over evil spirits. They're all things that he had to make and a decision to do.
Speaker: so His imagination was at 100%. And it was a holy imagination little trying to bring heaven to earth and to make earth The most super vibrant, incredible place you could possibly imagine.
Speaker: So when he sinned, the potential for that 100% holy imagination was limited. It was gone. was reduced.
Speaker: But the enemy knows the creative of potential within a human. So if the enemy can find wicked personalities, wicked people who despise life, who despise birth, who despise natural impulses, who despise Jesus, who despise the church, that vain imagination of a human...
Speaker: is still a very powerful tool on the earth, but for evil. So the best way that the enemy can destroy the earth is the same way as the best way God can fix the earth in collaboration.
Speaker: Because God made humans to rule and reign to work with him. So demons use humans to work with them. ha hodaha up hold on uh please uh pardon ah in no no no sorry not not not pardon because that is not the word for this situation call priation look a collaboration is working together thank you so god wants to work together with humans
Speaker: To make the earth a phenomenally beautiful, productive, holy, super prosperous place. So demons do the same thing.
Speaker: They work with humans to increase stealing, killing, destroying, death, sickness, disease, poverty.
Speaker: Because they're more powerful when they're working with humans because the earth belongs to humans. So if they work with humans, their plans will be far more significant and more powerful.
Speaker: You know, the best thing God ever did was send Jesus to earth as a human said d to deal with sin. The worst thing the devil will ever do is have the beast, the Antichrist,
Speaker: He's a beast, but he's the man of lawlessness, a wicked, evil human. So demons are always using human humans to do their will on the earth, to get access to that human imagination. Because human the devils and demons are not creative. They just create counterfeits of what God has done.
Speaker: Humans are creative. Humans have imagination. So when the demons operate with humans, that's when you have medieval torture devices.
Speaker: Or like Nero turning Christians into candles and setting them on fire. Or wicked ways of pulling out people's fingernails and toenails, blinding them, all this.
Speaker: That comes from a human imagination.
Speaker: What do you think, um do you think all this new coming sickness thing is kind of preparation for Mark of Peace? least I would say
Speaker: this was something I almost put in the teaching, but I didn't because it's very, very heavy. I believe in an imprint. An imprint means something happens before the real thing.
Speaker: So let's say the Lord said, let's make man in our image. So the Lord made a man, but he wasn't alive. He made Adam's bossy, but it did nothing.
Speaker: But then Jesus...
Speaker: breathe into him and he became alive so you had the husk of the man the the flesh of the man that was really just like a corpse dead and then alive and in the story earlier that i shared with them
Speaker: let's abijah
Speaker: Abijah had a coat and he tore the coat into 12 pieces. And then the nation broke up.
Speaker: The nation did not fracture in the physical when he tore his coat into 10 and two, but it was an imprint, a picture. And then you had the reality.
Speaker: So I believe what we're living in now in the church age We are living in a picture of the end times. Not the real tribulation.
Speaker: o But we're seeing a lot of similarities to what the actual actual one will be. The actual one but will be like a hundred times worse. But we see a lot of similarities in our time.
Speaker: But I also believe we're going to see the imprint of the Millennial Kingdom. Not the real thing. We'll be gone.
Speaker: But when Jesus reigns in Israel for 1,000 years and makes heaven and earth, I believe the revival we see will be a very clear picture of that. So not the real thing, but the imprint.
Speaker: A picture, a simulation. But the simulation is still real. people will still die. People are still being human trafficked.
Speaker: People are still going to hell. So it's a picture, but the picture is real. The picture is serious. So is Jesus coming like physically, physically in Israel?
Speaker: Not yet, not yet. You need to have the rapture first. The great tribulation. And and then he comes at the end of the great tribulation.
Speaker: At the end of the seven years. um Will people have more and more visions of Jesus? Probably. More and more dreams of Jesus? Probably.
Speaker: Probably. Will more people get to visit heaven and come back to earth? Probably. But the physical return of Jesus is still in the future.
Speaker: So when you said thousand years, not in that his conversation, but I'm asking, ah when you are speaking about thousand years, about Jesus ruling in Israel,
Speaker: is he physically oh yeah 100% and they and yeah we as body of Christ are still in heaven and why is Jesus in Israel typically yes he resurrects saints or heroes or believers from the Old Testament from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John early acts before the body of Christ began and after the rapture, the ones who maybe were killed by the Antichrist.
Speaker: But you never, ever, ever see the body of Christ coming back to the earth in those years. A lot of Christians want to because they want to be in a country where Jesus lives.
Speaker: Okay, I get the hype. There is no Like the body of Christ, they're all the letters Paul wrote. And the Apostle Paul never once told the body of Christ to come back to the earth.
Speaker: Because we're not citizens of Israel. We're citizens of heaven. Heaven is heaven. Exactly. Wow.
Speaker: I know it's all very heavy stuff, but we will look at some of this toward the end of and the discipleship course. and Let's see, the rapture lesson 18.
Speaker: a Then Judgment Day, a lot of things happen on Judgment Day, but we are involved in that. We'll be part 19. And then God remaking reality as part 20.
Speaker: If people really, really enjoy this and they want 21, 22, and 23, then I can look at the bigger of revelation. And I'll look at the great tribulation, the antichrist, the false prophet, the 10 kings. If people want to, i will. and But...
Speaker: And as much as as' possible, I try to keep it on the body of Christ. But we will look at those future events to some degree in 18, 19, and 20. Very
Speaker: good. I think people are hungry. They want to... ah hint Please don't get me wrong. i don't I am not going to speak on anybody. This is not assuming. am assuming people want to know.
Speaker: more about this because those Judgment Day and the New Earth is something that you have to really um read the Revelation book but you can't read it in your mind. You have to have Holy Spirit teaching you.
Speaker: Having Holy Spirit has to give you Revelation. If you are if you're reading that book bit without ah understanding that the Holy Spirit would give you, you would just read it like, huh? Oh, yeah, it would make no sense. ah here Yeah. But I know for sure, I am 100% sure you have this revelation already. Amen. I know you understand revelation books.
Speaker: I know, i know, I know and know. Without you saying that, I just know that. God began speaking to me about revelation when I was six years old. Come baby. One of the very first things he ever began to speak to me about. So it's been well a lifelong study.
Speaker: See? Wow. So, Holy Spirit can definitely teach us through you and give us revelation. Come on. Amen. Amen.
Speaker: Listen, if you all want to keep coming, I'll keep on teaching. Oh! Wonderful. I love your husband. I face it. Thank you. You are always keeping your... You are just not keeping all myself.
Speaker: Me! Me! Me! the I know everything, but I will not teach you anything. You are not like that. Whenever you got I mean, whenever you get something and Holy Spirit is like, Hi, hello Brendan, wake up!
Speaker: I'm asking you to see people, so I'm like, okay, here I am, I will do it. See? it's It's so true though, because there are times when I will tell people, I try not to do it anymore, but I used to tell people, okay, this Sunday I'll teach you this,
Speaker: The next Sunday, I'll teach you that. At the end of the month, we'll do this. And Holy Spirit would keep on changing my plans. So I would go and say, oh, Brendan, today we're going to learn the... And I'd say,
Speaker: no what No. i had a dream last night and Holy Spirit wants me to teach something else. Sorry, we'll come back to that. But no, not today. um and it was the same with this teaching, actually.
Speaker: Originally, I was just going to look at... all the gifts in this lesson. just so Just a little bit. Just a little bit here and there. And then I said, will I be cheeky and just do prophecy? And if I had had six hours, I could have gone into a heck of lot more.
Speaker: But I decided as an introduction, i would keep it to this. And then look at a few more of the gifts than am over the next few weeks.
Speaker: And But, you know, it's about being sensitive to Holy Spirit and then just saying, you know what your children need to know. I know what I want to teach.
Speaker: I know what I think they're able for, but you know what your children need. So, you tell me. And whatever he says, makes it on the PowerPoint.
Speaker: Oh. Come on. so are you going to
Speaker: this angel, this... How do you say that in English? Looking at angels and heaven and everything? No.
Speaker: ah You know, we speak in tongues. yeah But then there is angel. Angels have languages, they too.
Speaker: So, are you going to... Kate told that at some point. Not next week, but the week after.
Speaker: Yeah. angel Angel, like there was one time i was in a prayer meeting and someone began speaking in an angelic language.
Speaker: And here's the wonderful thing. Angels write. Angels have pen and paper. And It's only happened once.
Speaker: But I was able to see the script of the angelic language. It was just fabulous. So if I can find it, I'll show you that too.
Speaker: I wrote down at the time. If I can find it, I'll put that on the slides too. So you are going to teach on that angelic dispersion.
Speaker: We can... If holy should allow us. We can have this. Yeah, um absolutely. It could be a human language um or like it another country.
Speaker: um Or it could be an angelic language, a heavenly language. um Because they're the same way that the nation of Israel had 12 tribes...
Speaker: um the angels also have tribes based on their function, based on their job. Because i mean I've seen angels before.
Speaker: And to be honest with you,
Speaker: some of them look very, very different. And i mean, I saw two angels together once and one looked kind humanoid,
Speaker: But he was wearing like...
Speaker: It's hard to use human language to describe heavenly things. It was almost like he was wearing a dragon skeleton. like But it was armor. But it was also part of his body.
Speaker: I don't think they were clothes. I think it was part of his body. And then there was another angel who just... He had a head, arms, and body and legs, but he just looked...
Speaker: scary and one one one of his hands had a head it was just it was mad um and i was looking at these two thinking god are they friends they just look really those two together and you know what the same way that christians have different personalities and And different backgrounds and different cultures, but we are one body and we have to work together.
Speaker: I think God did the same with angels. I think for your guardian angels, I think God probably chose angels who are really different and they had to learn to work together because angels have personalities.
Speaker: um That's another thing we'll talk about in week 17. um so yeah it's going to be... with Week 17 will be very good. Like this one, i might do it over a few different weeks.
Speaker: But in the 17th lesson, we will look at the creatures in heaven. All the kinds of angels. Cherubim. Seraphim. we will look at the different places in heaven.
Speaker: different vehicles and modes of transport in heaven it's gonna be good thanks for that phil good night have a good one naomi amen thanks so much naomi we've got lovely message as well yeah brendan can can uh is it also possible because you know we can we can as i understand it we can also um we can also send angels we can ask the angels to yeah so so I would love it if we could learn a a bit more about how to put them in in action.
Speaker: um Amen. Yes, 100%.
Speaker: ill I will probably save it for the 17th week because we do have some Christians the group who are very, very new to faith. and So I'm slowly but surely working in the Two more supernatural elements.
Speaker: But yes, in that one we will also look at how to summon m heavenly help. um But at the core, just know that you have authority in the name of Jesus um to take authority over what's in your world, the spaces you're in, that God would have you in, the people in your life behind.
Speaker: And you can just declare that Heavenly help come and i be specific. Because especially if it's the Heavenly host, they are an army. My brothers in the army, you've got to be specific.
Speaker: Give numbers. Tell them where to go. um Tell them, goodnight Naomi, thank you. i You tell if, let's say, you want protection in your hometown from drug lords.
Speaker: Tell them the entrances into your town. How many of them you want there. How long are they to stay there? What you actually want them to do? Treat them like they're soldiers.
Speaker: Treat them like they're an army. Okay, so I can kind of command them into to yeah specific... yeah beings Ah, Yeah. okay yeah think of it Think of it that way. Think of that they are an army.
Speaker: and So, like if my brother my brother in the army, he's on a peacekeeping mission right now in Lebanon. if his commanders were to say, private merit, go.
Speaker: and He would be thinking, where? When? Do I bring my gun? Do I go as I am? um What do I require?
Speaker: When should I be back? They're an army, to be specific. okay Okay, now I have to ask. Oh, sorry, go on and Catherine. No, no, I was just saying and thank you. because ah and But also, one more question is, is um so, if if God is limitless, limited,
Speaker: Yep. loves yet Also, the angels are limitless because they do come in different shapes and they do transform and they shift very fast because I've seen it.
Speaker: I've been exposed to Beetle of ice. Yep. They are. Yeah. So then it means that because we are given the authority, we can also determine, right? so I can give a specific order. Yeah.
Speaker: It's like I am that did the general kind of... Yeah. Aha. Yeah, because we are we were born into a world at war.
Speaker: And the war began before we were sent to the earth. After we're dead, the war will still be happening. um But we have to own our zone for as long as we're here.
Speaker: And there are things, let's say, that we have control over. The more proximity we have, the more authority we have. That's my general rule. um But let's say for my hometown, when I'm at work in Dublin city centre, I'm an hour, an hour and a half away from home.
Speaker: But I could say I want 10 heavenly hosts at the entrance to my town at the very bottom, at the entrance to my town on the road that I leave go to work, um at the entrance in the middle of the town, at the Kells Road, at da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
Speaker: And you're on divine assignment today, boys and girls. There are female angels too. Any drug traffickers that come in I want them stopped.
Speaker: You disable their cars, you slash their tires, you tell the chief of the Gardashi Akana, what we call police, and to have a private, secret car ready to nab them, whatever it is. You expose them, whisper in people's ears that they're coming so the guards are ready.
Speaker: I can give them all these instructions um in advance. Or if you're on social media or the news and it says that um a teenage girl has been kidnapped. Like, i once had a dream where I saw Madeline McCann kidnapped.
Speaker: So I woke up and I just said, really, God, is she like still alive? um so I said, oh well okay, God, you you you know who she is. So I said, God, this girl that I saw, this Maddie McCann, I declare that your heavenly host go to her right now.
Speaker: That no pervert, murderer, rapist lays a hand on her. Surround her, protect her, but may her kidnappers see her.
Speaker: Put the fear of God in their hearts. Turn them in. Heavenly host, lead the guards in that country, wherever she is, write to her.
Speaker: that she will be found before 12 o'clock today. In Jesus' name, amen. So I went to work and forgot all about it. But when I got home, think I was on Instagram, and there was a news story where a girl had gone missing.
Speaker: She'd been kidnapped. And the media called her the Australian Maddie McCann. And she had been found before midday.
Speaker: And there was not even a little bit of physical damage done to her. So I sent the heavenly host to lead the human authorities to where she was and to terrify her physical enemies from attacking her.
Speaker: That's the kind of thing that we can do. Wow, that's pretty powerful. So, it it so but it... Okay, so, but there is... Is there different levels? Yes, there is different levels of authority. So you obviously have a high authority.
Speaker: Thank you. i would say in this case, you're a child of God. And if there's that need in your life, and or the lives of people around you, or God brings something to your attention.
Speaker: Like for me, she was in Australia and I was in Ireland. God just gave me a dream. i didn't even know who she really was. i just saw Maddie McCann. I thought it was the real girl. I didn't realize it was the Australian version.
Speaker: um But God knew. So all I needed was faith. Now what I will say is, if you're a Christian and you've got a continued sin issue in your life,
Speaker: The heavenly hosts are probably going to laugh at you and do nothing else. They are an army. They don't do nonsense. Their job is to fight against demons. They are rough and ready.
Speaker: They talk rough. They're soldiers. They don't visit your house for a cup of tea and a chit-chat.
Speaker: Some angels will. Not these ones. um So if you have... sin issues in your life and you yourself are compromised, they're going to say it not a chance.
Speaker: Ask somebody else. um But if you're in right standing with the Lord through salvation and you are living a sanctified life, they'll hearken to your will as long as it's in line with the word of God and what God has assigned to them.
Speaker: Yeah, amen to that. Amen. And then you got lots of cheeky deep revelation now. Just what I needed. Just what I needed. Thanks.
Speaker: Thanks. at So can I ask? This was very interesting. I'm glad. So I don't know but if you know, but um Charlie Champ is a prophet.
Speaker: Okay. From USA. okay I am following his Facebook page. Sure. And he was in prayer and he saw Donald Trump and heart attack.
Speaker: and So he believed that the founders of darkness are trying to cause Donald lot Trump heart attack.
Speaker: no And once I saw that, I was like, bam, I'm going to pray for Donald Trump. And I did pray, but I first asked Holy Spirit to lead and guide my prayer.
Speaker: That it would be... that he would be pleased with it. So that I would pray in place. Yeah, praying in the spirit. You know? And in the good.
Speaker: So, now what the question is, I was like warrior angels, I called you before and protect Donald Trump in the modern of Jesus.
Speaker: Amen. So, I think I can't remember exactly what I prayed because I prayed a lot. But I think I did say, surround.
Speaker: Surround? Yeah, yeah, surround, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Surround Donald Trump so that the enemy can't touch his heart.
Speaker: Amen. So, did I do right? Yeah, that that was super, Yanita. Yeah. If you were to do anything different, I would say give a specific number.
Speaker: You might say Donald Trump is responsible for 313 million Americans. So you might say 1000 heavenly host go now and stop every spiritual being involved in that attack. Every demon involved in that heart attack.
Speaker: But you prayed in a place of place of faith. You said, Holy Spirit, guide my prayer. So you prayed in the Spirit.
Speaker: Praying of the Spirit doesn't mean praying in tongues. a lot of people think it does. they're not the same thing. You prayed to the will of Holy Spirit. So, um well, he didn't die of a heart attack. So your prayer was answered. Amen.
Speaker: So, if I, because I never knew about this, that you have to be very specific when you give orders to, can I say orders?
Speaker: Yeah, you can, but just think of the physical world is a picture of the spiritual world. The spirit world existed before we did.
Speaker: So the reason that the physical world, army, has ranks, has leadership, have orders, have structure, have discipline. Hello.
Speaker: It's because the heavenly army does. The heavenly host, heaven's army, warring angels, whatever you want to call them, they're all the same thing.
Speaker: um They aren't copying us.
Speaker: We got inspiration from them.
Speaker: Oh, okay. I'm i am trying. That's okay. It just means that what they do, we are copying them. So, orders, ranks, discipline, obedience, clear instruction, accuracy, clarity, that existed in heaven before it existed on earth.
Speaker: ah So that's why when you're praying, be specific. Okay. So if I, because I didn't know before, I can ask them in the matter of Jesus,
Speaker: I, I, I, I command, let's say this is just for example. I command 3000 warrior angels,
Speaker: warrior angels to go and have war against Donald know Trump, enemies, go war against them right now in the modern world of Syria.
Speaker: Okay. That's it. Amen. so But if I didn't know, a because that that that the fact is I didn't know that, that I can do that, that that I they have to be very specific,
Speaker: So now, because angels have no idea how many has how many has to go. Aren't they like, hey Jesus, this girl is not specific.
Speaker: um Are you sending us? She told us to go, but she never told how many have to go. So Jesus, tell 300...
Speaker: ah three hundred
Speaker: Two thousand? How many?
Speaker: But you know what Because you prayed under the influence of Holy Spirit,
Speaker: Jesus knew how many were needed. So don't start regretting previous prayers. Don't think, oh no, what if no one went to help Donovan?
Speaker: Don't even let your mind go there, Anita. Take a breath. God is good. You prayed in faith. That was great. The important thing is, now that you know, you can use this extra revelation going forwards because it is an army.
Speaker: So treat them like one. Good night, Sharon. Thanks a million for joining. in I hope you got all of your work prepared for tomorrow.
Speaker: Brendan, bless you, bless you, please. I'm not going to, when I get these, I'm not going to pray for you. That is not what I mean. No. Anyway, please have a full teaching, specifically these army angels.
Speaker: We need more. We really need more. class um I am one of those people who are warrior, yeah but I think there are more in this group than just me.
Speaker: But we need, because we are working, I think, I can tell you that in English, we are working with the army, angels, but how can we work if we don't how we work?
Speaker: So we need a teacher who can do.
Speaker: that thank you of course i will of course i will and i like i said i will save this out if i do it early it would be in part 15 but i'll probably save it for part 17 because in part 17 we're gonna look at the operations of heaven so like today today was part nine But part nine will basically be in three stages. So, you know, prophecy today, five-fold ministry next week, then the other gifts.
Speaker: um For part 17, I might start off by doing one God the Father, God the Son, God Holy Spirit, angels,
Speaker: We'll probably take a whole one themselves. Angels are just... There's so much discuss. The Heavenly Host, the army, could be another segment. um Transport and places to visit in heaven could be another one. Here it's like one lesson, but it could break into like eight, nine or ten weeks. But Holy Spirit leads, I'll know what the time is.
Speaker: and Because i have like the teaching made already as a one-parter, but that's not going happen. I will have to subdivide it, but Holy Spirit will tell me how to subdivide it at the time. Yes.
Speaker: I've had experiences with the Heavenly Host. I've had experiences more than once with the Archangel Michael, and I don't like him. but He's great. He's terrifying. Terrifying.
Speaker: he sick there? Pardon? Pardon? Did he speak to? you When you read the Bible...
Speaker: You never, ever see an instance... Where he appears to someone and has a conversation. no one in the Bible ever sees him and talks to him. Yeah, that's right, yeah. But they do hear about him.
Speaker: Or they have interactions with him from a distance. I've had two...
Speaker: How was it? Oh. Terrible. Come on! If I tell you now, I will have nothing left to say in week 17.
Speaker: That's a spoiler, but let's just say there's a reason he's in charge of Heaven's Army. That's that's my spoiler. none My teaser. I'll have to smile, Giff.
Speaker: Because he is Enzo. He was fighting or worrying. With you or for you.
Speaker: I'm going to leave that to your imagination. dun and dance If he was fighting against me, I'd be dead. Don't worry, he wasn't fighting against me. No, no, no, no, no. Did I say something wrong in English or did you just misunderstand me?
Speaker: I'm only joking with you, I'm only joking. oh Yeah, yeah, okay. So how about that another angel?
Speaker: How did you even realize it was, because we were talking about this dragon thing. Remember that this one, you had two visions of angels.
Speaker: And one of them but is like this dragon thing. I've seen a lot. what i What I might do for week 17, because sometimes i see them, but they move very fast, and they're not always clear, because they don't want the glory. They want Jesus to get the glory. Absolutely. But sometimes I have seen them very, very clearly, and then I draw them. So, in week 17, if I can find them, because I have, like,
Speaker: a box like this big of dreams is massive. If I can find them, I can show you the ones that I drew. thought, where you're discerning right away, okay, this is angel of God.
Speaker: Or you'll be like, who are you? No, some of them look strange, but I still knew that they were of God. Yeah. um A lot of people think that angels are really unimaginative.
Speaker: They all have blonde hair and white clothes and wingspan of like this big. Nonsense. Nonsense. God is a very creative God and he is
Speaker: He's very creative on the earth. He might be more creative in heaven. He's in exceptionally creative and they're very original, very unique.
Speaker: Yeah, they come in all shapes. They do. And all the colors, actually. Yeah. Yeah. And because the spirit world,
Speaker: it has moments, yeah but it doesn't have time. It has locations, but it doesn't have space. So therefore, they can change how they appear as well. They can change their size, their appearance. There's a lot of flexibility.
Speaker: Yeah. I got an operation in my back. Yes. And it changed. It is started on on this side. And I feel like this size, like this hole in my shoulder. And that the size was like this.
Speaker: It changed that. Yeah. And it was suddenly behind me on the left side first. Yeah. and it was that And then it was wider again. Mm-hmm. And then I had two two c circles in my back.
Speaker: And then it was on this side again. Yes. that's Like this small, this small again. so it And it was shorter. And the same thing happened. It was like this like this circle. Yes.
Speaker: Yeah. And wow, that was mate that was an operation. Wow. It was amazing. Phenomenal. Wow. it's It's amazing, yeah.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. I think angelic encounters are going to become even more common in the days ahead. One, because we need the heavenly host to help us fight against our enemies now.
Speaker: Because to destroy a nation... First, you need to demoralize the people. Make them hate their culture, hate their history.
Speaker: You need to destabilize the nation. Change what male and female. Change the definition of marriage. From one man, one woman, to a man, a man, an woman. Change when life begins.
Speaker: um Take down the statues, change the place names. You need crisis, crisis, crisis, crisis. Disaster in health.
Speaker: Disaster in the economy. Disaster in housing. And when you get to this stage, the next stage is the normalization of the enemy's agenda. The enemy totally taking over.
Speaker: All the countries on earth are in crisis, crisis, crisis, crisis. Yeah. yeah Only two things can save a nation. One is revolution, which I'm sorry, it's not going to happen.
Speaker: yeah The resistance is too small. The resistance from Christians is too small. And the other option is an international invasion.
Speaker: Now, I'm not saying that Ireland is going to invade Norway and Finland to save Sorry, guys, we need to save ourselves first. But there is an international invasion coming and it's heaven invading the earth.
Speaker: The heavenly host invading our countries to save our countries. It is the only thing at this point that can actually turn things around.
Speaker: Because things are so dark and so evil. yeah Can you say the word is invasion? An invasion is an attack.
Speaker: So, Heaven's Angels are going to attack our countries to save our countries. They're going to attack the demons in our countries. It's already you begun.
Speaker: Especially in 2020, it really began. but it's it's just going to accelerate and steamroll. Because otherwise, the planet is screwed. ah Wow.
Speaker: and That's why it's important to to learn a lot about it because that is that is our weapon. Yeah. Yeah. yeah So we know how what how to use it and and and yeah. Amen.
Speaker: Amen. Yeah. would just say, even for yourselves, read over 2 Kings 6 to 7, just the chapter as we looked at today at the end.
Speaker: Yeah. It is happening in every nation. Yeah. um And maybe God might reveal more to you.
Speaker: um But what happened then is happening now. Second King, six to seven. and the Lovely. Very good. that a good Yeah. Wow. Is that in English book? Yeah, I think as ah ah according. So,
Speaker: Oh my god. yeah Roland Buck. Roland Buck.
Speaker: Okay, thank you. yeah thank i goes yeah and so So yeah, I think no and now I would start reading this because man yeah when when ah when I understand that that is a weapon, yeah yeahp we have to use it.
Speaker: We can use it. Yeah, I think a lot of Christians, especially pastors and then their sheep, are afraid of angel talk.
Speaker: They think, oh no, if you talk about angels, people will start praying to angels and they'll all become Catholic or some nonsense. um But the reality is, if you remove every reference to angels and spiritual creatures in the Bible, you're going to have a much shorter Bible.
Speaker: ah but So we can't pretend they're not in there. We can't pretend that they're not involved in our lives and what we're doing. And it's not supposed to be scary. It's not supposed to be a mystery.
Speaker: It's not supposed to be am something that you only whisper, you don't talk about in public. No. God has already put the revelation in the word.
Speaker: um So all we have to do believe it. So... when When we get to to the heaven lesson, i think I think it'll be a long one. i think it will be ah a multi-part series.
Speaker: But I think you'll all enjoy it. And I think you'll all be very, very excited. yeah We are ready, Janita. We are ready. Yes.
Speaker: We are. Come on, Brendan. Come on.
