The Great Falling Away: Kirk Franklin, Sean Combs, and Prophetic Signs
We want to hear from you! Send us a text!
We're witnessing serious prophetic signs in our culture as the sacred becomes secular and the world starts calling out the church. The recent events with Kirk Franklin at the BET Awards and the Sean Combs scandal reveal a profound spiritual shift happening in our world.
• Keep oil in your lamps – maintain spiritual illumination to avoid deception
• Keep love in your heart – don't let offense cause you to grow cold
• Keep sin and leaven out of your life – even non-sinful "weights" can drain your oil
• The "mystery of lawlessness" is intensifying, preparing for the Antichrist
• Two brides are being prepared – the Bride of Christ and the Bride of Antichrist
• Just like in Samuel's time, God is raising up voices of truth amid compromise
• The "great falling away" described in 2 Thessalonians 2 is happening now
• Church compromise makes the abomination of desolation possible
• Preachers can only reproduce what they themselves possess
• Spiritual discernment comes through maintaining intimacy with God

That would be great, but listen, tonight I got to get in on some stuff. You're there, that would be great, but listen. Tonight I got to get in on some stuff. I have been churning this in my spirit for a little bit of time now and I felt the Lord spoke to my heart that I want you to get on here prophetically and share with everybody. I kind of started it. What does Kirk Franklin, sean Combs, the church all have in common Right now? Something is happening in the earth that I believe God is setting the tone for a major, major push towards the end times. We're already in it.
Speaker 1:But let me share this with you there was a time in 2000, I think it was in 15 or 16, and I remember when they lit the house up, the White House up, with the colors of the rainbow, the symbolic of Pride Month, and all of that, and I'll never forget. My spirit was grieved for about four or five days a week, whatever it was, I can't remember exactly. I was just grieved for a period of time, and I'm not talking about angry. We see a lot of stuff that happens in the news different preachers and scandals and different things along that line and you hear about different things and you're like, ok, what else is going on? You feel bad about it, but my spirit was grieved when I tell you that, not angry, my spirit was grieved and I said man, and that's when we begin to see a major shift in the transgender movement. I just knew we were not in a good spot. I believe that was a harbinger of things that were coming. That was the last time I felt that almost 10 years ago almost 10 years ago, if not 10, I think it was 2015,. Actually 10 years ago.
Speaker 1:And then, all of a sudden, when this situation happened with Kirk Franklin, I want you first, before I say anything I'm not on this podcast to dog Kirk Franklin or talk bad about him I want to give you what the spirit of the Lord spoke to me about what's happening in his life and what is happening, what happened at the BET awards, what happened there and what transpired, and what the Lord is saying to us, the church. Now. I want you to stick around to the end, because I'm going to give you how to survive the end times. I need you to catch this, because this is really, really important. This is not just something that I'm just doing just to pass the time. God has given me a prophetic mandate concerning these things and I'm sure you all have heard it by now, or seen it when Kirk Franklin was there at the BET Awards and Kevin Hart gets on there and he calls Kirk Franklin out and he brings him out to say Kirk Franklin, when you come up here, don't be front twerking while you get your award, because you're getting the Gospel Iconic Award or whatever award he was getting. And that happened. And then they gave Glorilla, who is a secular artist, very sexually provocative, who is a secular artist, very sexually provocative, and I don't know a lot of her music, but I thought it was very unique that her name was Gloria Hallelujah and it's Glorilla for short. And then they brought her up and gave her the gospel award for the best gospel song, and Kirk Franklin was on there, I believe some others or whoever it was that was on there and they gave that to her.
Speaker 1:And I began to think about it. When that happened, I said Lord, what are you saying to me right now? My spirit was grieved. The moment that I saw it, the moment I heard about it, my heart was just wrenching within me. My heart was just so grieved when I saw that, I said man, whenever that happens to me it's only happened twice in my life there's always a prophetic word that comes along with it. And I was thinking about what happened with Kirk Franklin and thinking about when Kevin Hart, you know, we're in a bad spot, ladies and gentlemen when the world and secular people become prophets and voices of reason.
Speaker 1:It was amazing when he called out Kirk Franklin, he tells him, he says, kirk, when you come up here, don't be doing all that front twerking and all that.
Speaker 1:And he said something really profound. And when it really hit my spirit, he said God didn't ask you to do all of that. And I was like wow, now he's joking at the time, but there's a sign behind it. I'm telling you what happened on the BET Awards, what happened with the Sean Combs trial, what happened with the Sean Combs trial were harbingers of what is coming. I want you to hear me when I say this. And I was sitting there and I was like man. He said God didn't ask for all that. And he's sitting there and he's calling him out. He said he come up here trying to front twerk and do all these things. And I was like wow, he's actually rebuking Kirk Franklin, saying God doesn't need all of that, god didn't ask for all that. And I was like wow.
Speaker 1:And then he came up there and he did the performance and had I guess I didn't really see it, but had a lot of women that were scantily clad up there and all those things were happening and the Lord began to speak to me and I said man, and when they gave the award to Glorilla, the Lord spoke to me. This is what he said. He said tell them that what happened in that moment is that the world looked at Kirk Franklin and the world looked at Glorilla and said he's one of us now. He's now one of us. He had a situation that popped off when he was cussing out his son, and then he had this situation here and then he was on the Shannon Sharp, the Club, shea Shea and talking about how he gets all his songs butt naked, and he said I wouldn't sit on that seat there because there ain't nothing but cheeks there and he's being very sexually explicit. He was caught grinding on one of the Clark sisters in the middle of a performance and all these types of things that would have been happening and all these types of things that would have been happening.
Speaker 1:And then all of a sudden he gets this award here and they call him out and say, hey, god didn't ask for all that, and become the laughingstock of everything that was going on. And I said, man, what is going on, lord? The Lord began to speak. Now I want you to see this. What is happening? God said what you're seeing right now, with the preachers that are compromising, the ministers, the singers that are becoming more sexualized and more revealing in tighter clothes, and you're seeing all of these scandals. The Lord spoke and he said when that happened on the BET Awards night, he said that was just the beginning. It's going to get worse, it's going to intensify. You're going to see even more things happening.
Speaker 1:And the Lord took me to the book of Samuel and if you remember the story of Samuel, before he comes on the scene, you had Eli and his two sons, hophni and Phinehas, and Hophni and Phinehas were priests that were sleeping with the women and then also robbing the sacrifice for their own gain. And the Lord spoke to me and said this will be the season that you will see the Hophni and Phinehas get worse. There will be greater desecration in the house of God, in the temple of God, like you have never seen before, and this is why this is what I want you to catch. This is why we are heading headlong like a speeding bullet towards Daniel's book, the abomination of death. In Daniel's book he writes about the abomination of desolation, which is where the Antichrist Now. Watch this. I need you to stay with me. The Antichrist will sit in the temple, call himself God and people will be okay with it.
Speaker 1:And the Lord spoke. He said 30 years ago the things that have happened in today's day your ministry would have been cooked, you would not been able to be on television, people wouldn't have you traveling. And we have become so desensitized that now preachers can have three and four children by three or four different women. They can get divorced, remarried, have affairs come out public and people will still amen them, show up in them, show up in their church. And the Lord's appointment said what is happening with Kirk Franklin. It is a sign that when Glorilla said you know what? I can now take the gospel award. We've leveled the playing field. We've called it let me say it like that We've called the secular sacred now, and now the sacred has become secular. It's all merging together. I'm saying this to you because I want to show you something here. God gave me some things on how people need to survive. Watch this. You're going to see more and more pastors and preachers and church people getting colder. I'm not mentioning who. I don't know who. I'm not pointing anybody. I'm just telling you what the Lord spoke to me. They're going to see more people falling away.
Speaker 1:Second Thessalonians, chapter two is about to come alive like never before. The great falling away is happening. You're going to see more and more preachers falling away from the things of God, more and more desecrations of just like Hophni and Phinehas did. But this is what the Lord spoke. He said, in a time that Hophni and Phinehas were not doing what they needed to do, god was raising up a Samuel. Now I believe there's two people watching right now. There's either Samuels or there's Hophni and Phinehas that are watching. You're one of the two right now and God spoke to Samuel and God said I'm about to do something brand new. I believe God is getting ready to raise up the Samuels in this day and hour that are going to really be men and women of God that aren't going to live compromised.
Speaker 1:And I want to show you something here, because after that, there was a couple of things that happened with Kirk Franklin, and I'm sitting there thinking like what in the world is going on. He, right after that, he now gets on this podcast called the Pivot and they ask him a question. Now I want to go back for a minute before I go to the Pivot. I want you to see this when Kevin Hart called out Kirk Franklin, I believe at that point he was saying he's now one of us, you know what, we're on his level and he's actually looking at us. We're supposed to be calling out the world. The world is calling out the church, saying God ain't asked for all that, what you doing, all that front twerking and all that stuff. Don't come up here trying to be all sexual and stuff. And they called him out and then gave what was sacred to that which was secular, saying that we're all on the same level, and I believe that endorsed him for the world. Now, how do I know that? Because the pivot called him up and guess what they did?
Speaker 1:I want to show you what's happening right now because we're giving a major push towards the abomination of desolation. I want you to catch this. This is very, very important. The abomination of desolation is coming. That is the place when the Antichrist is going to come set up his throne in the temple of God. Now watch this. Why is it getting so bad in the church? Because what would have happened 30 years ago could never happen now. You can't just go from where we were 30 and 40 years ago to also an abomination of desolation. What has to happen? We got to slowly get cooked and desensitized until we call good evil and evil good and the devil himself. Think about the deception that's going to come. People will be so deceived that the devil will sit in the temple, call himself God and nobody will know the difference. It's already happening.
Speaker 1:The spirit of antichrist is creeping into the church and what's happening Now we're seeing more and more. Listen, it's not this is. It's not about the people, it's about the pulpit. The pulpit is being desecrated by men of God. The sacred is being made secular, the uncommon is being made common and God is getting ready to raise up the Samuels. And when that happened, my spirit was so grieved the Lord began to speak to me. These things, and I'm going to say them right now, because what's happening? You're gonna see those that are cold are gonna get colder and those that are hot are going to get hotter. You're gonna see more of what you've been seeing in the church. You're gonna see more of it coming, but you're also gonna see the sandals coming up. I'm not leaving that out, but I'm saying there's a separation that is happening right now.
Speaker 1:In these moments, ladies and gentlemen, it's important that God gave me three things he said. Tell my people these three things that are very, very important. Three things he said. Number one keep oil in your lamps. Very, very important to keep oil in your lamps. Why? A lot of people that saw that stuff with Kirk Franklin.
Speaker 1:Listen, this is not a time I'm not here to down talk Kirk Franklin, but what I am trying to show you is that something's wrong with that. The world should not be calling us out for being sexual, should not be calling the church out and making a joke about it. And then they're giving our awards to secular people. Well, that is a sign that we have become so much like the world. And this is why because the devil is setting this thing up for the abomination of desolation that's going to be coming Now. Thank God, I believe the rapture is coming. We'll be raptured out of here. But listen, the great falling away is happening and the hotter going to get hotter and the colder going to get colder. You're going to see a lot of people in church. You're going to see a lot of preachers continually desecrating the temple. Why? Because it's making way. The devil, I believe, has even planted preachers in the Christian church, musicians in the Christian church that he's using in this season and in this hour to prepare for his arrival. It's all being given a violent push towards that, and this is the thing that God said.
Speaker 1:Number one keep oil in your lamps, very, very important. Number two keep love in your heart, come on important. Number two keep love in your heart, come on somebody. I hope y'all hear what I'm saying right now. Keep oil in your hearts. Keep oil in your lamps, love in your hearts. Number three keep sin and leaven out of your life. Hallelujah, keep those things out of your life. I'm gonna say it again Keep oil in your lamps, loving your hearts. Sin and leaven out of your life. Now, watch this.
Speaker 1:The deception that is happening right now is beyond anything we could ever imagine. It is just getting worse and worse and worse, and you're seeing some of the greatest men and women of God falling away from the faith. You've got to keep oiling your lamp. Why the darker it gets out there, the brighter your lamp has to shine to keep you from deception. So then, you are not led astray by all the craziness that you're hearing about. Number two you keep loving your heart. Why? Number one, now watch this. Number one is keep oil in your lamps. Number two keep loving your heart. Why? Because oil, first of all, will let you see the deception before it comes.
Speaker 1:People are being deceived, ladies and gentlemen. I mean, you see pastors and ministers doing everything under the sun and they keep their churches, they keep their ministry, they keep their following. Nobody says anything and the people just keep on amen and thinking that's God's man. And the reality is listen, god is the only one that'll hire you, then fire you, but then let you keep working. And the reality is listen, god is the only one that will hire you, then fire you, but then let you keep working. And the reality is just because somebody has anointing doesn't mean they're right with God. The Bible says you will know them by their fruits. What is their life?
Speaker 1:Speaking, I'm not talking about perfection, but men and women of God, you've got to make sure you've got oil in your lamp so that you're not deceived by the crazy, because, listen, the only thing needed for deception to happen in your life is for there to be a lack of light. Watch this the only thing needed for deception to manifest in your life is to have the absence of illumination and revelation. If you do not have illumination and revelation by way of the Holy Spirit, by keeping oil in your lamp, by living separate from the world, by fasting, by prayer, by living for God, by not mixing with the world, the darkness that is coming will take you away. The falling away, the deception will happen in your life because you don't have the illumination and revelation. And when you don't have illumination and revelation, the only alternative is deception. Number two keep loving your hearts. Why is that important? Don't allow the two biggest enemies I hope y'all are catching this right now the two biggest enemies that the church is going to face in this. Why Oil keeps you from being deceived. Number two love keeps you from being offended. Hallelujah, matthew 24 said that many will become offended.
Speaker 1:Let's go there real quickly. You've got your Bibles, you've got something that I can bring it up to you real quick. Now I want you to catch this and I hope you all are taking this. I want you to like, subscribe, follow share, do it. Listen, I'm telling you right now. This is a word from the Lord. This is a word to help somebody not get carried away by the deception and by the craziness that's going out there in the world. And if you don't have oil in your lamps, that stuff will start making sense to you. Now look at this here, matthew 24, verse number three. Did you subscribe, follow share? Do that real quick. All right, while we go there. All right, verse number three.
Speaker 1:Now, as he sat at the Mount of Olives, jesus, the disciples asked Jesus three questions. Look at this here. Tell us when these things will be number one, number two, what will be the sign of your coming? Number two, number three and the end of the age. Now remember Matthew 24, luke. Chapter 21 asks these three questions. They are not chronologically answered. You have to know how to break them down. There are three different things and I don't have time to teach on all this, but look at verse four.
Speaker 1:First thing that Jesus said take heed that no one deceives you, for many will come in my name saying I am the Christ, who will deceive many. Now a lot of people think they're going to show up and say well, I'm Jesus. You know what they're going to say. I'm coming in his name, I'm a preacher, I'm a prophet, I'm an evangelist, I'm this, I'm that. I'm coming in his name. Well, he's anointed, he's God's man. They're not going to come saying I am Jesus per se. We pray in Jesus' name. We're actually supposed to be saying I am unified with him and what I'm asking he's endorsing. Many will come saying I'm endorsing that, but take heed that no one deceives you, for many will come in my name saying I am the Christ and will deceive many. So some will say I'm the Christ, but they're going to say it in a way, not just that I am Jesus himself, but they're going to say I am for him, he's with me, we're all one, we're all together. And many are going to be deceived as a result of that.
Speaker 1:And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled, for all these things must come to pass, and then it's not yet. Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom. There'll be famines, pestilence, earthquakes Look at all the flooding that's taking place Tornadoes it's getting worse and worse. There are all the groanings of the world wanting to be redeemed and the birth pains of what's coming.
Speaker 1:Verse number 10. Look at this here. This is what I wanted you to catch. And then many will be offended and betray one another. And do you realize, some people will hate you just because of what you carry. You don't even have to do anything to them, they just won't like you. The people will do you wrong in this season just because of what you carry and they'll hate one another. Look at this here. Verse 11. Now stay with me. Many false prophets will rise up and deceive many, because lawlessness will abound. The love of many will grow cold Lawlessness.
Speaker 1:You go to 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, it talks about the mystery of lawlessness, the mystery of law. Whenever the Bible talks about mystery, you're always dealing with seed, time and harvest. Mysteries always work. Even when you don't think that they're working, there's things that are being sowed. Now watch this. The reason behind the polarization in the world today is because there are two brides being prepared, and I wish I had a whole lot of time to share this with you. There are two brides that are being prepared the bride of Christ, and then there's the bride of the antichrist. They're both being prepared. False prophets prepare. Now watch this. Be careful of the ministries you listen to. Be careful of the ministries you sit under, because ministers can only reproduce what they possess. Ministers can only reproduce what they possess.
Speaker 1:There's a lot of people sitting under false prophets right now and don't even know it. There's a lot of people listening to preaching that ain't helping their family, that ain't helping their marriage, ain't helping their walk with God. They're as compromised as compromise can be and don't realize those seeds are being sowed into their life. And what's happening? There's a polarization that's happening the hotter getting hotter for Jesus and the colder getting colder for the Antichrist. And he said that. Look at this. Many will be offended. False prophets will rise up to seed money and because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. Keep love in your heart. Look at this. Let me show you this. False prophets deceive by sowing seeds of lawlessness. Man, my good God almighty, false prophets deceive by sowing seeds of lawlessness. That's what they are, that's what they produce, so they sow that. And when you're in ministries where there's lawlessness, even behind closed doors, and the preaching of the pure word is not there and the anointing is not there, the heart of people will begin to grow cold because they're sitting under false prophets and there's a lot of them out there.
Speaker 1:Ladies and gentlemen, now go with me real quickly to 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, real fast. I don't have a whole lot of time. I can go a lot deeper than this, but I'm not going to right now and I want you to share this because I believe this is a word for people. The Kirk Franklin thing that happened is the beginning of this great falling away that's getting ready to happen, even more than ever before. There's going to be an accelerated move. And what now? Watch this. The falling away isn't going to be like it was before. I was thinking about when Jimmy Swagger passed away, one of the greatest evangelists to have ever lived, and talk about a redemption story I mean, the man had a major fall from grace in the 80s comes back and just God completely redeems and restores him, outstanding I was. I was thinking of something and I want you to think about this for a minute.
Speaker 1:When I grew up in the church people in the church, four or five, six days a week legalism was prevalent and the move came about. Now, watch in the church four, five, six days a week, legalism was prevalent and the move came about. Now watch how the devil works. The move came about where, all of a sudden, I was like it doesn't take all of that. I don't want to be legalistic, I don't want to be judged, I want to be myself. So now there was legalism. I believe in the church, without a doubt. I mean people, if you were in church six days a week, you're going to hell. It was like one of those things. But it's funny, in those days, the church now watch this the church.
Speaker 1:When Jimmy Swaggart fell, the church tarred and feathered him, stoned him, kicked him out. He had to fight to recover. I mean, there was no such thing as getting divorced, having an affair and then hopping back in the pool, but it just didn't happen. And so now he falls, which wasn't correct. But he assumed responsibility, he repents, but the church ostracizes him.
Speaker 1:Fast forward 30, 40 years to where we are now. Now look at what happened. Now men and women of God are falling left and right and the church is completely okay with it. And isn't it amazing? Now everybody's okay with whatever it is that you do, and even though you're living like the devil. But back then, if you made a mistake, you'd be crucified. It's funny two polarizing opposite ends. There needs to be something in the middle. Yes, we need to live holy. Yes, we need to live right. But if somebody does fall, we need to restore them. But we can't make excuses for sin. But now we've okayed everything, anything goes. Listen to me, that is the mystery of lawlessness pushing the world to a place where they can receive watch this, watch this. They can receive their Antichrist.
Speaker 1:Be careful of the preaching. You sit under the anointings, you sit under the words you listen to. You say why is that, pastor Jay? Because if you do not have oil in your lamps, if you do not have love in your heart, if you don't see yourself burning brighter for Jesus on fire, for him having a passion for him, if you don't see your heart burning for him more, if you don't sense that desire to be in his presence, and when you're riding down wherever your street is and you have to pull over at times because the presence of God overwhelms you, you're sitting in your prayer closet and tears roll. Don't lose that in this season. That is a sign that the oil is there and the love for people needs to be there Now. This is why Because it's time to call a spade a spade, but some people will do it just to be judgmental and condemnatory. You got to have love in your heart and oil in your lamp. So when you see the deception, you can call it out in love. Come on, you can have the right balance. We need to have love and oil. We've got to have both of those.
Speaker 1:Ladies and gentlemen, now look at this here, now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering. This is 2 Thessalonians, 2. Don't be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had already come. Let no one deceive you. Look at this, that word deception again Lest by any means that day will not come unless the falling away comes first and the man of sin is revealed.
Speaker 1:The son of perdition. The man of sin is revealed. That's why he can't be revealed yet, because we're still here. The son of perdition who opposed the exaltation of above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so as that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God, the purpose of the. Hear me, hear me, hear me, hear me, hear me. The purpose of all of this mixing with the world? It's preparing us for this. Look at what it says. The devil will come. Look at this, he said. He opposes and exalts above all that is called God or that is worship, so that he will sit as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Well, what's happening? Preachers are making that easier for him right now. Just anything goes. Now we're welcoming homosexuals and transgenders. We're inclusive. Everybody's going to heaven. The lost preaching of the gospel has happened. There's no longer the uncompromised word of God being preached. None of that is there. And what's going to happen? He will come and sit as God in the temple of God, showing himself that that is there. And what's going to happen? He will come and sit as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Well, what's happening right now?
Speaker 1:There's so much of a mixing of the world with the church. That's where we get the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. That word there is actually where we get the word wicker. If you read it in the Hebrew, it's the word wicker. Where we get that? Where it's the mixing of the good and the evil all together. Are you following me? That's why there's such a compromise in the church, because it's desensitizing people. Now our Christian artists are more sexual than the people in the world. Now our preachers are becoming Hophnis and Phineas. Not only are we taking the sacrifice and taking things for using ministry for gain, we're also sleeping with the women. Now men are sleeping with men. I mean, there was a preacher just recently.
Speaker 1:My good God almighty gets out there and goes to a homosexual church where the man is married to a man, preaches in his pulpit on the word, on how God doesn't want you to be ashamed, and then talks about how he endorses this first gentleman you know we have, first ladies, endorses the first gentleman and all these things preaching in there, not preaching a word of repentance, preaching a word of acceptance, and then gets back on social media and says I don't understand why I'm getting all this flack. I'm just talking about love, I'm just being, I'm showing a loving act. No, that's not loving. You're letting them know that God loves them just the way that they are, accepts them rather, just the way that they are. My good God almighty, look at this here, verse number five Do you not remember that when I was still with you, I told you things, and now you know what is restrained? That he may be revealed in his own time. Verse seven Look at this here.
Speaker 1:This is a very powerful passage of scripture, for the mystery of lawlessness is already at work.
Speaker 1:Look at this Now watch. Only he who now restrains will do so until he's taken away, and then the lawless one will be revealed. Now watch. From the time of Christ's ascension, the mystery of lawlessness, that is, the spirit of Antichrist, has been at work for 2,000 years preparing the world for the coming of the Antichrist. To go back to verse number four, that he will sit as God in the temple of God, showing that he is God. He has been building his case for 2,000 years, but then the Holy Spirit, through revivals and awakenings and different things that have happened, have stopped the enemy from taking too much ground. But the time is now. That's why I said first the great falling away is going to happen because there's going to be a giving over to this mystery of lawlessness.
Speaker 1:The mystery of lawlessness is these seeds and these ideologies. Now stay with me for a minute. That's why I came all the way to that point, to get to this point here, kirk Franklin now gets endorsed. He's one of us. That's what I believe. That that's what Kevin Hart was saying Indirectly. He's one of us. Now watch, he's getting all these calls.
Speaker 1:He was on the breakfast club. How come he ain't bringing somebody like Jensen Franklin on there? How come he ain't bringing some no-nonsense preacher on there? You got to be careful. All doors that open aren't necessarily validation that God wants you going through them. He's on the breakfast club, he's on the pivot, he's on all these different things, people left and right. Why? Because they said he's one of us. And guess what they did. Now, listen, I'm trying to show you something here. Kirk Franklin is one of the greatest icons, up until this point that the Christian music. He's just revolutionized Christian music. But now he's gone too far. And so now what's happening? He's now endorsing all these things, and so they bring him on the pivot. Now I you to catch this. This is wrong. I've brought you all the way through all of that to bring you to this point.
Speaker 1:For this reason, kirk franklin gets on and they ask him do you think it's okay to cuss? Now, mind you what he represents. It's not just kirk, he's a representation that this is god's man. So now god's man is getting ready to show us the way. And he said do you think it's okay to cuss? One of the things he says? He goes. I'll tell you one thing. He said this in a previous interview. He said if I stub my toe in the middle of the night, I'm not going to say ouch, I'm going to cuss, he goes. I'm just going to be honest with you. I got to be real. I'm sitting there thinking like no, no, no, no. The Bible clearly says we ain't supposed to do that. And if you do do it, it's not that you can't repent and make it right, but we should not be saying that's okay. And then he asked the guy. He said well, give me. The guy asked him. He said well, tell me, do you think it's wrong to cuss? And Kirk Franklin said well, give meuss words. And Kirk Franklin starts laughing. He's grinning and never gives them an answer, never speaks anything.
Speaker 1:Another preacher that says it's homosexual, wrong on this major news platform. Never, never gave an answer. Compromised, why? What we're doing? We're bringing the secular down. I'm sorry, we're bringing the sacred down to the secular. And what's happening. We're making the mystery of lawlessness. The reason why we have to speak out about these things, it's not to dog and to condemn Kirk Franklin, say he's no good, this, that and the third. It's because that message of lawlessness can't invade the church. Right is right, wrong is wrong. The Bible is clear on what God wants from us.
Speaker 1:And when he got on there and said, oh, that's okay. And then they started laughing, they're like. And he said, yo, I want to hang with you, man. Yo, I'll tell you what man you're, someone I want to roll with. I'm sitting there thinking, wait a minute, this is not the message the church needs to hear right now. Let me say it again God said tell my people everywhere that I go, every church I'm speaking at. I'll be in Tampa this weekend.
Speaker 1:He said tell my people keep oil in their lamps, love in your heart, sin and leaven out of your life. Listen to me. Those things, jesus. Isn't it amazing?
Speaker 1:Jesus said beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, beware of them, beware of their words, their teachings that say that's okay, leaven now. Watch this, watch this, watch this, watch this. Aside every weight and sin that does easily beset us. Listen, there are some things that may not be sin, but they are weights. There are some things that may not be sin, but they are leaven.
Speaker 1:What is leaven? Leaven is what drains your lamp of oil. So you can't burn bright and you can't burn hot. Why is that important? The brightness of your lamp causes you, so then you do not fall into deception. The hotness, the warmth of your lamp stops your heart from becoming cold from this world. The world is getting darker and the world is getting colder and the devil wants to rob God's people of the oil. You must keep the oil in your lamp because it keeps you bright, so then you can see through God's lens and perspective, but it also keeps you hot, it keeps you warm, so then your heart doesn't get cold and you don't fall into a fence. So Kirk Franklin gets on there and then further along down the line Listen to me now, watch it.
Speaker 1:This is when I got to speak on this, because you know I'm a strong, strong, pro-life person. Once again, I want to say this again I'm not saying this because I'm trying to dog Kirk Franklin, or, you know, trying to say that he ain't a good guy, you know, or he's this, that and a third. I mean, hey, god loves him, god loves him, god loves each and every one of us. Let me tell you something Wrong is wrong and right is right, and what I don't want and this one I want you to catch. The reason why I'm speaking on this is I'm praying for him and I want him to be converted and I want him to be the world. Do what the world does, it's okay. Oh, you want it. You have desires for men and you're a man. That's okay. It's okay If a boy wants to become a girl and you say see, now, this is where I want to get to the mystery of lawlessness at work. Now let me say this Are you going to tell me now I'm about to say something very controversial here You're going to tell me that Sean Combs is innocent of. You're going to tell me that he shouldn't do.
Speaker 1:Mike Vick did jail time for two years for dog fighting. He beat that woman in the middle of a hotel room, beat her like I mean, she was a piece of garbage. And I said God, how is it that these people keep getting off? How is it that there aren't stricter penalties? This is what the Lord spoke to me getting off. How is it that there aren't stricter penalties. This is what the Lord spoke to me.
Speaker 1:If the world system will allow an eight-year-old boy to become a girl, if the world system and the people will say we want eight, nine-year-olds to be able to pick their gender and they don't want to operate, in truth, you don't pick where this, the spirit of deception, will get you in every area. So the truth can be looking right at you and won't be able to call it. That's the deception that is coming. It's right in front of us, it's as clear as day. But if you don't have oil in your lamps, that stuff begins to make sense, ladies and gentlemen. It begins to make sense.
Speaker 1:And where are the preachers that stand up and that are convicted with the word of God and share it with a fire in their eyes and a love in their hearts? Where are those preachers today, ladies and gentlemen? We need more people to tell people keep oil in your lamps, watch this, keep loving your heart and sin and leaven out of your life. What does leaven do? Are you all ready? Leaven drains your oil. You have a decision. Every believer has to make a decision on which one they're going to do. Are you going to choose oil or are you going to choose leaven? Now, watch, now, watch, now, watch, now watch. Stay with me, I'm almost done.
Speaker 1:If you remember the story of Matthew, chapter 25, it's the parable of the 10 virgins, the bridegroom, get ready to come, symbolic of Jesus Christ. I believe that's the rapture. There were five wise, five foolish, five wise. Now watch this. Now stay with me for a minute. I want you to see the prophetic forecast of where we are Now. Let me show you something you know.
Speaker 1:The Bible says in 2 Timothy I believe it's chapter 2, it says that they'll have a form of godliness, but deny the power. In Matthew 25, all 10 virgins had the lamp. Watch this. They had the gowns, they had the invitation and they heard the bridegroom calling. They had the invitation and they heard the bridegroom calling. What separated them? One thing the five wise had oil. The five foolish did not. The oil is the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit in your life, that illuminates you and causes you to burn bright for Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1:Don't lose your oil because of leaven. Now let me show you what I mean. When they heard the bridegroom was coming, they ran to the five wives and said give us some of your oil Said no, no, no, I can't give you my oil, he said, because there won't be enough for me and for you. But what did he tell them? They said go into the marketplace and buy for yourself. Ladies and gentlemen, let me help you real quickly.
Speaker 1:The oil cost.
Speaker 1:What does it cost? Give up the leaven? Leaven may not be sin, but it drains your oil content. For what purpose? What's the purpose behind it? To bring a greater deception and a coldness. And you have to understand, when there's a deception, when it gets dark and cold and you don't have that oil burning bright and hot in your life, what happens? You will look for a substitute from the world and you cannot have the oil while you're chewing on the leaven. Keep the leaven out of your life. Sin, that goes without saying. But leaven leads to coldness and coldness leads to sin. Because what will happen? You'll get so hungry for something, you'll eat anything. But if you're just willing to pay the price, you can have the oil and you can burn bright like never before in your life. Deception is coming like crazy. Ladies and gentlemen, my good God almighty Now I'm almost done Go back to 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2. If you're being blessed by this. Let me know this is speaking to you and please hear my heart.
Speaker 1:I'm not here to dog Kirk Franklin or Sean Combs. I'm saying this stuff is clear. I mean it's clear. I'm like y'all don't see that this is wrong. You don't see that, sean Combs, he's got some issues, y'all. The man's got some major, major issues. And I'm telling you this right now If he gets out and he runs the streets, if he doesn't get rehabilitated, what are the chances of him recidivizing?
Speaker 1:You don't think it's going to happen again what you think he's just going to change? Now, if he repents, praise be unto God, hallelujah. That do you. That would be wonderful. Praise be unto God, wonderful.
Speaker 1:But now what's happening? People, the truth is right in front of them. Oh, he ain't guilty of this, he ain't doing it. I'm like thousand bottles of baby oil, guns, I mean a bunch of different witnesses, a videotape, a videotape. You're going to tell me that she wouldn't be afraid. I mean, look at it for what it is.
Speaker 1:I'm saying this to you guys that it's right in front of us. It's right in front of us and still, people, they just can't see it. Why, listen? We're heading towards the abomination of desolation. The Antichrist will be right in front of them. They're going to think it's Jesus himself. They're not going to have any discernment, none whatsoever.
Speaker 1:That's why I tell people now people say, well, I believe we're going to be able to tribulate. No, how, how, how, how are you going to be able to tribulate? The whole purpose of the church and the world? The truth has to be pulled out so that he can have a full move. He'll have the freedom the Bible says we're restraining him now. That's why he said when will be Matthew 24, when will be the end of the age, the church age? The age started on the day of Pentecost. It will end at the rapture. The Holy Spirit will be removed.
Speaker 1:It's not that he will not have pockets of movement with the Jewish people, but what I'm saying to you, during those seven years, the Antichrist will be given authority. The church has the authority now, they just don't use it. The Antichrist will be given the authority then has the authority now, they just don't use it. But Antichrist will be given the authority then when all of this stuff is happening why? Alright, now I've got to keep moving because I'm almost out of time.
Speaker 1:Look at this here 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2. Now let me show you this the mystery of lawlessness. I can work that mystery of lawlessness right now. My good God Almighty. Look at this here, verse 2, thessalonians, chapter 2. Look back at verse 6. And now you know what is restraining that he may be revealed, this antichrist spirit that will take the form of a man and become the greatest leader the world has never known. He will now be manifested once the church is removed. That's why I don't believe that we'll be here. You can't. God's not going to take authority from the church and give it to the Antichrist.
Speaker 1:Read in the book of Daniel the authority will be given to the Antichrist to rule and reign. That's why, in three and a half years, he'll have the world eating out of his hand. My good God, don't be here. Look at this For the breath of his mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming. That's considered the second coming, the coming of the lawless one is, according to the look at this, to the working of Satan with all power, signs and lying wonders. That's why, listen to me Just because a preacher works signs and wonders and people get saved does not mean he's going to heaven.
Speaker 1:Read Matthew, chapter 7. Many will come to me in that day Say didn't we cast out devils? Do all these things in your name? What are you going to say? Depart from me. I never knew you, you who worked iniquity or lawlessness. Oh man, I wish I could work that. Stay tuned. I'm gonna be preaching that later on in my church.
Speaker 1:The mystery of lawlessness is about Satan is about to finish his masterpiece, what he has been working for 2,000 years, 2,000 years he has been at work for these seven years that are coming, my God, almighty, it is happening right now. It is happening right before our very eyes. All this tumultuous stuff that's happening in the Middle East, it's all part of what's coming. Oh, my good God, I feel the Holy Ghost on this. Look at this here. He said it's already at work, but then God's going to come and he's going to destroy.
Speaker 1:And then verse nine said the coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs and lying wonders and with all unrighteous deception amongst those who perish. Look at this Now. Watch, watch, watch, watch this. I want you to catch this Very important. Catch this Very important.
Speaker 1:They did not receive the love of the truth. Now listen to me. The antichrist spirit will always preach love. Catch me without truth. That's why you hear all the time we got to love, we got to love, we got to love. No, no, no, no. You have to have the love. They did not receive the love of the truth. That means truth has love within it. Jesus, help me. We got to love everybody. No, no, no. They did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved. Keep oil in your lamps that keeps you in truth. Keep love in your lamps that keeps you in truth. Keep love in your heart. The two of those is what will cause you to escape the wrath that has come.
Speaker 1:But look what happens here. I got to keep moving. I'm almost done. I promise this is closing number three. And look at now. This is what's going to happen to the people. That's why you're seeing this.
Speaker 1:Polarization, that's why listen. Polarization, that's what I listen. Make sure you've got yourself good preachers in your life. Every pastor ain't bad pastor. Every prophet ain't a bad prophet. There are some out there. You got to make sure. Do they got love in their heart? Do they got the Holy Ghost? Is the Holy Ghost in your church? Are the gifts of the Spirit and the power of God. Is it relevant and prevalent in the church of God? You're going to need it in this season Because listen, the thing with Kirk Franklin and stuff with Sean Combs and ultimate what is about to happen.
Speaker 1:It's about to get even darker in places where the love of the truth is not present. You're going to see more Christians that name the name of God, that are going to get colder and colder, more sinful and sinful. It's going to become more and more OK. And let me stop here real quick. That's why Kurt Franklin, when he was on the pivot, he said something I got to work this because I got to come back to this. He started talking about pro-life and he said the only difference now, hear me, this is from his mom. You can go see it online the only difference between an aborted baby and an adopted one is that the aborted baby never gets to find out why their parents rejected them. And I just froze. I said what I just couldn't believe. I even heard that.
Speaker 1:Listen, that stuff starts making sense when your oil gets low. When your oil gets low, that stuff will make sense. Oh, it's okay, you can choose it. You choose your own gender. Start making sense to you. Let me tell you this when you don't have oil in your lamp, great preachers become your enemy. Then put terrible preachers, the ones that ain't preaching truth, them, the ones you fall in love with. You better hear what I'm saying right now, because I'm telling you what's coming Just because, listen, every gospel album ain't sacred. Every worship leader is not operating in a true, authentic anointing. I heard Jensen Franklin say something really powerful. He said there are counterfeit anointings. People will still get saved under their ministry, but they'll go to hell if they don't give their lives right back to where it was need to be, with the Lord. And when he said that, I said are you kidding me? I said no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:First of all, an aborted baby is murder. Adoption gives that child an opportunity to still live. You can be up for adoption, still be in that parent and that baby's life. You can come back around and say I was in a. What if it's a 14 year old that can't raise a child? What are you going to? Just kill it? No, there's a. There's times. Where are there? Some times that maybe the parent doesn't want the baby. Well, of course, but they didn't Come. That's the biggest one. I have a whole lot of things I can deal with with that, but that's one of them. Number two is that, even if the person just speak now, watch this.
Speaker 1:When people have a baby out of wedlock or an unexpected pregnancy, okay, the act may have been a mistake, but the baby is not a mistake. The baby still has a purpose. You're killing the purpose of God. How many people you can go through? People that said they were going to abort their child and they become famous and change the world. Abortion happened. There was a couple of times in scripture whenever, when Moses came on the scene and when Jesus came on the scene, they said kill all the babies, two and under. It is a plot of the enemy. I thought about that. I said are you kidding me? When your oil is low, that stuff begins to make sense.
Speaker 1:Keep oil in your lamp, love in your heart and keep sin and leaven out of your life. Let me help you be in church. Don't take jobs that have you working all the time and you ain't in church. I tell people in our church you need to be in church. On Sundays and Wednesdays, when you go in for an interview, say I'll work anytime you need me to come Sunday mornings, wednesday evenings that belong to the Lord. There are some things listen, ladies and gentlemen, I feel this from the Lord there are some things in this season you don't compromise on. There's some things you have to have in your life. The Bible says don't forsake the assembling of yourselves together. You are going to need it to keep that oil in your lamp. Don't get caught chasing money and chasing things that you forget to keep that oil in your lamp. Ladies and gentlemen, keep oil in your lamps, keep loving your heart. Keep sin and leaven out of your life. Be careful of what you're listening to Now. This is why I'm almost done. All right, you're already closing number four. This is really my last scripture.
Speaker 1:Let's go back to verse 10. And of all unrighteous deception among those who perish because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved. So that means these people will see the truth, they'll experience the love of the truth, but then they'll say I don't want it. And so look at what happens now. I'm going to show you why the polarization is happening. The truth is being preached right now. People are seeing it. The anointing is there. The word of God is there. Some people are willfully rejecting it. I've seen it. I'm not going to take it. Look what happens.
Speaker 1:11. This is what the bride of the Antichrist is being prepared for. For this reason, god will send them strong delusion that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned. Who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. I believe the sign with Kirk Franklin.
Speaker 1:What happened? The reason why my spirit was so grieved, is because we're seeing the manifestation of false prophets. We're seeing people that name the name of the Lord but live so compromised that the world calls them friend. The Bible says that if you're a friend of the world, you're the enemy of God. You can read that in the book of James. And I'm sitting there thinking, and I was thinking about all the things that he's saying, and my heart was so wrenched and I said God, why am I feeling so? Just grieved, like I mean my heart was just sick. I said God, what is that? What exactly is that? What am I feeling? And the heart of God is grieved for where the bride of Christ is going, the church of God is going. What we're permitting, what we're saying, is okay.
Speaker 1:Ladies and gentlemen, read your Bible, study your Bible. Stay prayed up, stay fasted up, stay in the presence of God, stay in the word of God. Get yourself a preacher. Find good prophets. Don't listen to everybody. Just because they got a big following, what is their message content? Is there oil in their lamps? Do they got five different girlfriends on the side? Something's wrong. Do they got four different kids by five different women, or whatever? Five different kids by four different women? I mean something's wrong. They're preaching and I saw one pastor.
Speaker 1:He's a, he was a. What is it? Oh my gosh, not blessing, but oh my goodness, what do we call that? Forgive me for a second, but they took their children and gave them back to the Lord I don't know why the name is failing me right at this time. Dedicated, sorry, dedicated their children to the Lord. And he dedicated a lesbian couple's child to God in front of a charismatic church.
Speaker 1:I'm sitting there thinking, I'm like and they're all in there, and I'm like wait a minute. Do you want the people to be saved? Of course. Do you want them to not hear the gospel? No, but you can't tell them they're okay Because they're not not hear the gospel? No, but you can't tell them they're okay, because they're not. God clearly said that's wrong. I'm saying this to you all. Listen to me again.
Speaker 1:When that happened on the BET Awards and they gave the gospel artist of the year or song of the year to a secular person, and then Kevin Hart, from a position of power, calls out Kirk Franklin for how he's living and tells him how he shouldn't be more sexual. He should know better than to be that sexual, and God didn't ask for all that. When that happened, god said it has begun. The beginning of the push towards the abomination of desolation is coming. God said tell my people three things Keep oil in their lamps, keep love in your heart and keep sin and leaven out of your life. If I had to add a number four, I'd say get yourself a good preacher, because that's important, someone that's in tune with what God is doing. And so listen. I want to thank you all so much. I hope that this has been a blessing to you. I hope you will take a minute and send this out and let people know and I say this again I'm not here to condemn anybody.
Speaker 1:I'm not trying to be critical and harsh and say, well, I'm better than them, but you know what I mean. We all may fall short. I say this all the time. Now, be careful of this too. People talk all the time. I got to be real. I got to be real. I got to be real. Well, this is the thing. Yeah, we all need to be real. We do need to be vulnerable at times. There are things that we all should share. Hey, this is what God brought me through. Now, watch this.
Speaker 1:Being real and authentic is not just saying I'm jacked up, man, this is what it is, but God understands. No, no, no, no. You want to be real. Go do this. Go behind a closed door, get them answers, come out and say this is how I used to live. Let me show you what Jesus did for me.
Speaker 1:That's being real, just being real, saying, yeah, I cuss, yeah, it's all good, though. No, it's not. That's not right, ladies and gentlemen. It's just not See what we've done. We've gone to the opposite end of the spectrum.
Speaker 1:Now, before, everything was taking you to hell. Now, nothing takes you to hell. Well, there's a middle ground there. You can't. It doesn't mean, because you sin, you throw the baby out with the bathwater, but it doesn't mean that you keep the bath water, though, because the baby's in dirty water. We've got to clean the baby up, change out the water. But we're doing, we're swimming and wallowing in the dirty water and we're just saying God understands and he loves it, and it's all good. He, he understands, and when, and you know what, I'm so in love with this water. That's why I see it. Now, here you go. But as soon as that pig finds watch this as soon as that pig finds a mud hole, you're going to find out. It's a pig. You can put it in a $5,000 suit. That nature is still a pig.
Speaker 1:And what am I saying to you? The reason why all this stuff is happening is because we have given license to the sinful nature, and God is not okay with it. He did not pay the price on the cross for us to condone and give a license to sin. If you sin, do you have another chance? Of course, but we don't wallow in the mud, we get out. And what do we say? Created me a clean heart, renewing me a right spirit. And that's my prayer for all of us. I pray for every preacher, singer. I don't want to see them fall away. I'm just telling you what's coming. I'm telling you what's coming, I'm telling you how to escape it, and they can escape it too.
Speaker 1:But you got to pay the price for the oil. You've got to be willing, ladies and gentlemen, to pay the price for the oil. Keep loving your heart, keep sin and leaven out of your life. Lay aside every weight and sin which easily besets us. Get rid of the weights. You say what is that the stuff in your life that dulls your passion for the things of God? Oh yeah, but it's okay, I can do that and still go to heaven.
Speaker 1:But you may not make it that far because, listen, the deception slowly cooks you. You lose your oil and before you know it, you get offended with the preacher, the church. You're upset that carnal nature gets in the way and you keep trying to get into the things of God. Then you're mad at the church, you're mad at the preacher, you're mad at everybody. Now you want nothing to do with God and you're angry. You don't realize it's because your oil content's too low. When the oil light comes on in your car, you always pull over. Why Watch this? You got to change your oil every so often why Oil breaks down viscosity?
Speaker 1:You have those pistons moving in there. It creates heat and if it gets too hot, the engine can literally explode. You can blow a piston through the roof, everything. But as long as you keep the oil, no matter how much you rev it up, viscosity breaks down. It doesn't overheat. When your oil content gets low, you're still trying to run. What's happening? The heat builds up and a fence comes in. Now you're angry at the church. The heat builds up and a fence comes in. Now you're angry at the church. Now nobody can do wrong.
Speaker 1:Whenever people know, listen to me, listen to me and I feel this by the Holy Ghost today Whenever people get ready to leave the house of God, they'll always find something wrong with the atmosphere. Always and this is the thing I'm not saying there's never a time to leave a church, or there aren't. So I'm talking. There's sometimes. You got to make sure before I move, before I make a decision is my oil level up? Where's my oil content?
Speaker 1:Keep the sin and the leaven out of your life. Keep oil in your heart, in your lamps, and love in your hearts, and don't allow offense and coldness to come into your life. Allow the light of the Holy Spirit to lead you and guide you into all truth, that you don't get deceived. And I pray for every person, father, that's listening and watching that Lord, they would keep that oil in their lamps, that love in their heart. Father, pull us further and further away from the things of the world. Father, help us to live a life set apart. Father, help us to get back life set apart. Father, help us to get back to the preaching, father, god, where the word and the lamp of God is bright in our lives. Oh, god and Father, I pray for every person, lord, that you would anoint them and bless them and be with them today. And, father, god, I pray for every person I mentioned, whether it's Kirk Franklin, pastors, preachers, ourselves, all of us, sean Combs, all of us need you, father, but, father God, let us not compromise and call good evil and evil good. Father, we thank you for it In Jesus name. Amen, amen, amen.
Speaker 1:Can I give you one more scripture while I was praying? I just want to get all of this out today. I believe this is probably one of the most significant prophetic words I've had, and this is just going to be a quick one here. First, samuel, chapter three. I told you about Hophni and Phinehas, who were Eli's son, because Eli would not correct the sin in the pulpit. God judged all of them, but he raised up Samuel. That's the day and hour that we're in. I look here, verse number one.
Speaker 1:Now, the voice of Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli and the word Now look at this where we are, the word of the Lord was rare and there was no widespread revelation. There are a lot of preachers left, ladies and gentlemen. There are a lot of preachers left. There are not a lot of preachers left. They are a rare breed. They are, they are. What do they call that? What is it when they're an endangered species? Preachers, true prophets, are an endangered species. There was no widespread revelation that came to pass. Now look at this.
Speaker 1:While Eli, who was a compromised man that would not call a sin a sin, wouldn't correct his sons that God had judged, it said while Eli was lying down in his place, when his eyes had begun to grow dim that he could not see, and before the lamp of God went out in the tabernacle of the Lord, where the ark of God was, while Samuel was lying down, the Lord called to Samuel. Let me tell you this this is my last thoughts. God is getting ready to call you. Eli might not have heard. Hoth and Phinehas they've been rejected Said right before the lamp went out. That's what I said.
Speaker 1:Right before it got so dark and the adversary could have taken over, god called to some people named Samuel and I believe that I'm talking to some Samuels right now that God's getting ready to call. And you may be wondering, man, it's getting so dark out there, it's getting so crazy. But and you may be wondering, man, it's getting so dark out there, it's getting so crazy. But God's about to call you. And what did he say? He told Samuel I'm about to do a new thing.
Speaker 1:I believe God's getting ready to raise up some Samuels in this day and hour that are going to speak to the Hophni and Phinehas and say no, no, no, no, no. They can repent and give their life to the Lord. His prayers ever hit the ground. And I'm praying that for you and I hope that today has been a blessing to you and I hope that you'll take a minute and truly share this with somebody. I believe this is a prophetic forecast for this day and for this hour, and I believe God wants to bless you in a supernatural way and he wants you to keep oil in your lamps. He wants you to keep loving your heart and sin 11 out of your life. And if I had more time I'd break all those down. But you have to tune in later because I've got a whole lot more to share with you. Hope this has been a blessing. Hope this encourages you, helps you to pray.
Speaker 1:Stay on the fire line, keep moving forward with Jesus. Keep that oil in your lamp. Keep burning bright, even when people don't like it. Burn bright, burn hot. Don't compromise who you are. Make the uncommon things of God common. It's a privilege to be a child of God. Be it. Don't be like the world. Give the world something that they'll desire, what it is that we have. And I believe that if we have love in our heart and oil in our lamps, they'll come running, because it's time for the rise and shine, for our light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon us. So I hope that you've been blessed today.
Speaker 1:I love y'all Praying for you. Pastor Tiff will be with me next time. Take a minute, go to the Dimensions platform, download the podcast so you can hear more. I've got a whole lot more.
