Dimensions August 18 2025: The End Times, The Great Falling Away, and Discipleship
You know what, ladies and gentlemen, there's a lot going on in the world today. We are truly living in the last days. You know what? I think it's so important that we are prepared and that we're ready for the return of Jesus Christ, more now than ever before. That's why I want to talk to you a bit about the end times, the great falling away, and how to be discipled in the season. Discipleship is a lost art. It's something that we all need to have in our lives. Breakthroughs have been inhibited as a result of not having discipleship, and with the great falling away that's happening, that's going to continue to happen and everything that's going on, we've got to be prepared for what it is that's coming. Listen, I've got a lot to share with you. I hope that you'll keep it locked, because all that and more is coming up right now on Dimensions Welcome, welcome, welcome, everybody.
Speaker 1:I'm J Anthony Gilbert and I'm bringing you another brand new episode of Dimensions. It is Monday and guess what? It is 830. Every single day, monday through Friday, you can expect Dimensions to be live, coming to you with what thus saith the Lord each and every single day Wow. We want to prepare people to keep oil in their lamps, love in their heart and sin and leaven out of their lives. That's what we're here for right now is to help people to keep oiling their lamps, loving their hearts and sin and leaven out of their lives. And that's why I need you to take a minute right now and to like, subscribe, follow, share all that good stuff. Come on, help us get this word out today, because it's going to help somebody. And guess what? You, too, can be a part of what it is that we're doing, and we have a podcast as well. If you have not downloaded our podcast, we're on every platform imaginable. You need to go ahead and get in on this podcast, subscribe to the dimensions podcast wherever you can go, and get one, and every single time that we upload something, you'll be the first one to get it and you'll be the latest member of the Dimensions family, which I am so excited about.
Speaker 1:So listen, I want to talk to you today about the end times. I believe that we are in the end, and this is the beginning of the end and the last of the last of the end, and we've been there in the last days Even Paul wrote about it. End, and we've been saying we're in the last days. Even Paul wrote about it to Timothy, and we know that we're in the last days, but I believe that we are truly in the end like never before. I believe that we are getting ready to go headlong right into the middle of the tribulation by way of the rapture of the church, and I believe that this is a very, very, very perilous time.
Speaker 1:What do I mean by that? It's a time that God has given me a prophetic warning to let people know. This is a time that his people must be rooted and grounded. This is the time to be in church. This is the time to have oil in your lamps. This is the time to be close to God. This is a time to develop your prayer life. This is a time to be serving in your church to keep the sin and leaven, even the leaven, out of your life, those things that cause your passion for God to begin to dwindle. That's something else I'll be talking about very, very soon. We don't talk enough about leaven. Leaven is very, very bad stuff, ladies and gentlemen. It's a fire retardant. Your fire for God will dwindle every time you mess around with leaven. They are things that may not are necessarily sin, but what it does is it begins to feed the appetite of the carnal nature and in the old man, and if you don't recognize your walk, you know.
Speaker 1:The Bible talks about the importance of possessing our own souls and we have to know how to walk with God in our walks. There are some things that other people can do, that you won't be able to do. There are some things that other people can do that you won't be able to do. There are some things that you will be able to do that other people won't do, and that's why we shouldn't judge others for how they live or how they don't live, because you know what God may require, a different recipe for you. But one thing I can tell you this is one thing I know of a surety, before anybody gets that twisted the more of the world that you ingest, the less of God you will have, and it's very, very important I talked about that before how the Bible says.
Speaker 1:Jesus said in Matthew, chapter seven enter in at the straight gate, or wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are going in there at because straight is the gate and narrow is the way which leads to life and few are those that find him. The greater your anointing, the greater your call, the greater that God has blessed you to be who you are and to walk in the fullness of his glory, the tighter your walk will have to be in the less of the world you'll be able to participate in. That is just a fact, ladies and gentlemen. It is just truth and it is just an assurity. And like I always tell people, now, watch this Very, very important Part of this great falling away and being in the end times.
Speaker 1:The Bible said there would be perilous times, tough to deal with times. Why? Because false teachers would begin to arise. And what are they going to do? Remember, false teachers will always remove you. Ready for this. They will remove the premium for the blessing and they will remove the penalty for sin, or at least they will lessen either one. They'll bring the premium from here down to here. God will bless you, but listen, you don't have to do all of that, just do this here. And then the penalty for sin. They will say you know what? You don't have to pay this much, it'll only be this much. God understands, he constantly why. The more watch this, the more you have sin and leaven in your life, the less you will have the blessing. The more that you eat at the devil's table, the more access that he will have to your life. The more things of the world that you ingest on a daily basis, the more of a window and opportunity that you will give Satan the ability to come into your life.
Speaker 1:Yes, is there a such thing as going too far? But no, I do not believe this is the day and hour that people need to be worried about that. We are not in church too much. We are not praying too much. We ain't living back in the day where people went to church seven, eight days a week, seven, eight times in a week. That's not the day and hour that we're living in. We're living in a day nowadays where people do express services In and out in 30,. We're like dominoes 30 minutes or less. You know that's what we do. We don't have everything baked up and cooked and ready to go, and if you give God 30 minutes a day, you won't have everything that you need. But, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you something that devil is a liar. I have tried the 30 minute thing. I shared a little bit yesterday with my church about. Remember the whole six minute ad piece how people could do six minutes a day and you'll get these ripped abs. And you know they don't talk to you about the diet, they don't talk to you about the workout. Man, I can't even get three sets in of abs in under six minutes. Barely I probably could. But around that time is about what it takes. It takes about that long just to get your first three sets in and you just getting started. The devil the world.
Speaker 1:Always, people are always looking for a get rich quick scheme. Man say that three times fast. A get rich quick scheme. Looking for a way what? Lower the premium and guess what? Lower the penalty, lower the penalty. Lower the premium. Lower the penalty. No premium, no penalty. Think about it. People love all that. Zero money down, no commitment. People love that. Shows you the generation. You can look a lot at the commercials to determine what the generation wants. You can look at commercials and see what it is that the generation feeds off, because that's why they do commercials. They are there to figure out what are the people desiring, what are they craving, what are they connoisseurs of? That's what they're looking for. Listen to have the blessing in the season. It will always cost you and listen to participate in sin and leaven in the things of the world. It will always cost you. The penalty does not go down, it goes up. You pay for sin and you pay for the blessing. You can't remove the premium for the blessing and you cannot remove the penalty for sin. It costs to walk in the blessing of God. That's the reason why so many people their children are struggling to serve the Lord. People are struggling to be in church. People are struggling why We've got so much of the world that we're ingesting. We're ingesting so much of the world's deities.
Speaker 1:You know what I love about Daniel? That's a phenomenal book to be studying in this day and hour, because Daniel lived in a time where the, the people of Israel, were in bondage and he was there and they had all this food that they had and they had idols, but Daniel chose to serve his God. He chose not to participate. Eat with the king, ate with the king. They ate, and he was saying you know what I'm going to eat, what, god? That's where we get the Daniel fast from. Is that? I think they? What did they do it for? Like 21 days or something along that line. I can't remember the exact time, but it was a short amount of time Might've been 10 days and they ate of that, and when they were finishing eating it at Daniel's, people looked better, they smelled better, they looked better, they had more energy. All of that because they weren't eating at the devil's table and not have to pay his tab.
Speaker 1:You're going to have to pay a price and a penalty, and the purpose behind the devil feeding your flesh watch this is that it gives him access into your life. It gives him access into your life, and that is one of the dangers of this end times that we are in, and I want you to understand how important it is that we grasp that. I want you to go with me to Matthew 24. I've spent a lot of time in these passages lately because I really believe they speak to the day and hour that we're living in, and this is the reason why we need discipleship. This is the reason why so many people need healings and prayer lines and constantly looking for prophetic words, but we're not getting people saved. We're talking about how burnout we are, how much we're struggling. My question to you is who has walked with your life on a weekly basis that is pouring into you. I believe the Lord has shown me that this is the remedy for many people that are struggling in their life.
Speaker 1:No-transcript. They would grow and develop and become all that God has called them to be. So Matthew 24, verse number three. Now, as he sat at the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately saying tell us when will these things be and what will be the sign of your coming in the end of the age? And Jesus answered and said to them, before he goes any further, he said take heed that no one deceives you. Many are going to come in my name, saying I am the Christ and will deceive many. And then I want to jump down here.
Speaker 1:In verse number 10. It says and then many will be offended, they will betray one another and hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end, the same shall be saved. So look at that. There False prophets rise up and their message always lowers the premium for the blessing and removes the penalty for sin. Why? Because lawlessness is in the earth. If people are living in sin. My goodness, you're not going to preach a hard gospel, because the hard gospel is going to cause them to turn away, but this is the reality, ladies and gentlemen. You've got to keep oil in your lamps, love in your heart, sin 11 in your life.
Speaker 1:When you go through Matthew chapter 24, you look at this discourse that he goes through and he talks all about the end, and then you jump ahead to Matthew chapter number 25,. Matthew chapter 25. Let's go there real quickly, because this is important that we grasp this reality. Matthew chapter number 25. And it said then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to 10 virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were wise and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps but took no. Listen, this is very, very important that we grasp this. If you have a lamp and no oil, it doesn't work and it's a sign that the lamp is not functional at the time. Do you understand that the oil spoken of here is symbolic of the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives? Now listen, I want you to catch this because this is real important. He uses these certain words intentionally, so we understand.
Speaker 1:He said those who were foolish took their lamps but took no oil with them. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. Think about it when you go to sleep, most people like the lights off. They turn the lights off so they slumber and sleep. They slumber and sleep Instead of having their illumination on, having their lamp on. When you've got oil, you've got illumination. When you've got oil, you've got heat. You can heat with oil and you can illuminate with oil. Okay, verse five. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. And verse six.
Speaker 1:And at midnight a cry was heard Behold, the bridegroom is coming, go out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps and the foolish said to the wise give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out. But the wise answered saying no, lest there should not be enough for us and you. But look here, but go rather to those who sell and buy for yourself. There is a cost for the oil, there is a cost for the blessing. You cannot mix with the world, you cannot talk like the world. You can't live with the world. You've got to be careful of how much of the world you ingest. You have to. I heard a man say one time he said the mindset of every believer should not be how much of this world can I have and still keep a hold of God, but how much of God can I grasp a hold of and still keep my feet on this planet. That should be the cry of every believer. It's not how much I can ingest.
Speaker 1:People talk about, like when they're dating, how far can we go before we sin? And I tell everybody this. The same thing I'll tell you in your walk with Jesus Christ you can have as much of the world until your passion for God begins to dwindle. When your passion and desire and your craving for the things of God, the fruit of the spirit, begins to dwindle, at that point you know you've ingested too much of the world. And the same thing when you're dating and people say how far can I go? The moment your marital passions want more, you've gone too far. It's just that simple. If you are dating somebody, you need to outline right from the jump how far you're going to be able to go. And you say, well, how far? Well, is it a sin to do this? It's not. You have to remember something Everything you do sexually at all, whether it's actual sex or petting, heavy petting, any of those things, even certain types of kissing, any kissing at all, anything that leaves you craving, saying I've got to have more is too far.
Speaker 1:Let me just help you why. You all know how it goes. If you start with a little bit, you're going to want more, and then you're going to want more, and then you're going to want more. And the reason why many people cannot make it to their wedding night apartment of sex because we are not being taught you can't feed the car carnal nature or, in this case, just the natural nature. It's not wrong to have sexual feelings, it's wrong to have lust. But if you are feeding an appetite that you know you can't fulfill, you're asking for trouble. So I tell people all the time find those areas that you know. Hey, I can't go this far. Some people might just be holding hands all the way there. I can't kiss at all. It's going to make me want more. If that's the case, you've got to do what it takes to keep the leaven out Anything that's going to cause you to begin to desire the things that are contrary to God's will for your life. It's too much, and that is a sign that we are in the end. Lawlessness is abounding, so the love of many gets cold. Why we start ingesting leaven. We start ingesting the world. We start ingesting the things of this world instead of the things of God, and the more that you ingest of the world, the less of an appetite you will have for the things of the Holy Spirit in your life. That's why you have to be accustomed to fasting. You have to be accustomed to being obedient.
Speaker 1:Isn't it funny to talk about the wise and the foolish? It's very, very important you understand that. Where do we see that? Again in Matthew. We saw earlier in Matthew, chapter seven. We said I will liken unto a wise man. He said that, heard my sayings and what, and did them. When the storms came, the floods came, the winds blew and it beat upon the house. The house did not fall, because it was built upon the rock. He heard the sayings and did them and as a result, he was likened to a wise man, a foolish person that slumbers and sleeps. Watch this. Here's what the spirit of the Lord is saying, but then does not do it. I said so. I always define a people say well, what exactly is a fool? A fool is one that knows better but doesn't do better. They have the answers but they won't execute what they know is right. That is what it's called being a fool. That's what we are seeing in this day and hour and I felt so strongly of this message and I feel such a mandate from God to prepare the bride for the return of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1:It is so important that we have oil in our lamps. It is so important. What did he say? Go and to those that sell and buy oil. Wow, my good God. Now look at this. Let me mention this to you. Thank you, holy Ghost. This is really good. Right here.
Speaker 1:It says go to those who sell. See, this is the thing. You got to go to a place where they're selling the oil. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Where is that? You got to go to men, men of God and women of God that sell the oil. Now, I'm not talking about financially. He's not talking about money here. He's using this as a metaphor Go and pay the price to those that have the oil. Let them show you the price you need to pay in order to get that oil in your labs. See, you can't just give your oil away to those that are fools. You can't give your oil away to those that won't that, don't they? They have the right things, and isn't it funny? Wow, thank you, holy ghost.
Speaker 1:Now, look at this. This is so important. Look at this, this is so important. Go back here. Thank you, holy Ghost. Go back to verse number nine. Let's go back to verse eight, actually.
Speaker 1:And the fool said to the wise Now, look at this, this is real important here. The fool said to the wise here, because this is the thing. So you got two conversations happening right here in the moment. The fool says to the wise give us some of your oil. Our lamps are going out. Now, look at it. The foolish said to the wise. But then the wise had an answer saying no, lest there should not be enough for us.
Speaker 1:And you, listen, there are some things in the kingdom of God you can give away. There are some things you cannot. There are some things you can dispose of if you don't get it back, that's fine. But listen, you can never waste your oil. How do you know when you're wasting your oil? Let me show you something you are wasting your oil when people are not willing to do what you do but covet what you have. I'm going to say that again. You waste your oil when you give to people that want what you have but are not willing to do what you do. You waste your oil I'm gonna say it again whenever you are giving to those that covet what you have but are not willing to do what you've done to get the oil. And it's very important. That's why I said no, no, no, because there ain't gonna be enough for me.
Speaker 1:And you See, the reality is I can't pay the price for your oil. It doesn't mean we can't share some oil in time. It doesn't mean I can't lay hands no, no, no. But what they did? They slumbered and slept instead of putting in the work. There are some people you can't rescue and the reality is you can't invest into them because watch this they just want the oil, because they're in trouble now and they're saying get me out of this situation. They don't really want to pay the price for the oil. Now, watch this, now watch this.
Speaker 1:If you don't pay the price for the oil, you'll have to pay the price for not having it. My good God. If you don't pay the price for the oil, you'll have to pay the price for not having it. If you don't pay the price for the blessing on your family, you'll have to pay the price for not having. You won't pay somewhere? It's better to be proactive and pay up front and not have interest than to have to pay the devil. If you slumber and sleep in the time of putting in the work, the time will come. You will need the oil and you will not have it in the time allotted.
Speaker 1:It takes time to work the oil, ladies and gentlemen. It takes fasting, it takes prayer, it takes living separate from the world, it takes being in church, it takes putting God first in your life, it takes seeking his face and it takes discipleship. That's the reason why discipleship is so important in the end times and why so many people are falling away. We have lowered the premium for the oil. We have lowered the premium for the blessing. We have lowered the premium for the anointing. We have lowered the premium.
Speaker 1:You don't have to go to church. You can cuss, you can listen to any type of music you want, watch any movie you want. You can do anything you want to do. He gets us, he understands us, it's all good, it's under this umbrella of love and because God loves us, he's not going to charge you anything. And guess what, even if you're living in sin, he totally understands. He's not through with you. I prayed the prayer of 20 years ago but I haven't made any forward progress. But everything's gonna be okay.
Speaker 1:Ladies and gentlemen, let me help you Pay the price for the oil. There should be oil in your laps, which means you are illuminated. There should be oil in your laps, which means you're hearing from the spirit of the Lord. There should be oil in your laps which lance, which means you're putting in the work. There should be oil in the lance that when you lift up your hands to pray and to seek his face and his shout, there's something from your belly that's there. There should be oil in your lance that you can look out there and begin to see what's going on in the world and be able to accurately discern what is happening in the earth. There should be oil in your lance. What does that mean? You're paying the price to have the Holy Spirit's present in your life, in your home, in your car, on your job, wherever you go. You've paid the price for the oil to be there and therefore there will be illumination, there will be love in your heart.
Speaker 1:Ladies and gentlemen, this is paying the price for the oil. But listen, you can't give your oil to everybody. Did you hear what I said? You cannot give your oil to everybody. If they're not willing to pay the price, you have to stop giving them the oil. There's some people you can't spend time with because you can't make an investment into buckets that have holes in it, and I always say it like this I have no problem giving somebody fish, but this is the reality. While I'm feeding you but this is the reality While I'm feeding you I must be leading you. Y'all hear what I'm saying. If you want me to feed you and not lead you, that means you want the blessing without the premium.
Speaker 1:That doesn't mean that sometimes you don't help people free of charge. I get all of that, I understand, but some people have made it their appetite and their diet to simply live off of your work. That cannot happen. You can't live off of your work. That cannot happen. You can't live off of somebody's oil. Yeah, there may be a time. Maybe you got a little low and you needed somebody to help. But maybe once you get yourself back up and running, go back out there and put in the work, pay the price for the oil, go to those that sell and buy for yourself.
Speaker 1:Don't be one of those in these last days and in these end times that doesn't go through and pay the price for the oil. You gotta fast. You gotta get up early, seek the Lord. Learn how to develop a discipline to seek God that you respect and that you recognize, and that you value the time and see the reward of seeking God early and watch him carry you throughout your day. You don't need more sleep. You need the Holy Ghost. Yes, you need a good night's rest, but sometimes you may not need eight, nine hours. Maybe you're making six and a half and then you give that first hour to the Lord. You spend that time with him, you seek his face, you fill up with that oil, you shake the flesh off and listen. The oil will take you further than your sleep could ever.
Speaker 1:Isn't it funny that the people that have the oil didn't slumber and sleep? How a lot of people sleep it in when they should be getting up and praying. I say all the time man don't be doing one of them Starbucks prayers. And what do I call a Starbucks prayer? You on your way to Starbucks, you praying while you ordering your chai latte and everything else that you're getting? No, no, get up early before you shower, if you have to, even before you brush your teeth. Anything else you got to do. First thing you do is you seek the face of God, shut your phone off, shut your Facebook off, and stay there and get alone until you're no longer alone and learn how to welcome his presence and learn how to stay there until his presence lifts, learn to recognize how much time you need to spend with the Lord in prayer. So then your tank is full, and when your tank is full, then you can go throughout your day. Give us this day our daily bread. Come on, somebody. You've got to pay the price for the oil.
Speaker 1:The great falling away is happening, and this is the reason why discipleship is so important, because people have not been taught the price of how to have the oil in their life. They've not been taught the price. What we do, ladies and gentlemen, we do crisis discipleship, which means when I'm going through, I call the pastor, when I'm going through, I call the elder. Every single believer on the planet should be discipled, and let me help you real quickly. Discipleship is not a class it's part of it.
Speaker 1:But discipleship is you walking through in your life and finding out what the spirit of the Lord is saying to you. That's why how dare we come to church and not take notes? How dare we listen to preachers and not take notes? How dare we get a prophetic word and not jot it down? How do we not record and then go home and listen to iters and not take notes? How dare we get a prophetic word and not jot it down? How do we not record and then go home and listen to it and write it up and make sure we pray over it? If God is speaking, we need to write it down, we need to steward it, we need to meditate upon it, we need to seek his faith, we need to write down what he's saying. Why Listen to me?
Speaker 1:Sunday mornings, wednesday nights, even to some degree in small groups. That's all good and dandy. You can be taught by somebody, you can have interaction, but there's nothing like somebody one-on-one, walking with you, pouring directly into your life, spending time with you. And what we've done we've made discipleship the work of mass ministry. All the people come together, everybody comes together in the house of God. Somebody preached. Be in the house.
Speaker 1:What Sunday mornings, wednesday and Bible teaching does? It gives you an opportunity to understand the word, to see the word and to hear what God is saying in the prophetic now. So then you know in the discipleship process what he's saying and doing, so you can begin to walk it out. Hallelujah. Where discipleship comes in, there's somebody that knows you, understands you, sees the greatness of God in your life, and they begin to pour into you. So then, whatever God is doing in you, they have the wisdom, the knowledge, the understanding, the impartation needed and ordered. So then you can flesh out what God is working out in your life.
Speaker 1:This, ladies and gentlemen, is the product of discipleship. You've got to go and pay the price for your own oil and we can't make discipleship a class. I'm all for classes, ain't nothing wrong with that. But what happens when you get out there in the real world? And you get out there and you got all the knowledge and the training and everything else, and then also, when you try to work that thing out, there's things in your heart and your mind that it just doesn't make any sense. You don't figure out how you're going to work it out, and that's where people stall out in their life, and this is where the falling away happens. This is the reason why there's so much deception. This is the dangers of the ed times and why they will heap together teachers having itching ears telling them what they want to hear, why Somebody tell me something that I don't have to deal with. This flesh you can deal with the flesh you just got to crucify. We got to get back to becoming discipled or disciplined ones, those that know how to meditate on the scripture and walk out what God has given them. It is so important that we understand. We are in the last days, ladies and gentlemen, and there's a great falling away that happens. Go with me, if you would, to 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, and I'm almost out of here. 2 Thessalonians, chapter two, and I'm almost out of here. Second Thessalonians, chapter two.
Speaker 1:I want to look here at verse number one. Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord, jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you not to 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 come. Verse three this is where I want to get. Look at this. Let no one deceive you lest by any means that day will not come unless the falling away comes first and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. That's the day and hour that we're in. We are moving. That's why there's so much desecration in the house of God. The devil has to get people used to seeing the house of God desecrated. So when the devil himself sits in the seat of God, calls himself God in the house of God, people won't even know the difference because they have so been deceived.
Speaker 1:This is why you have to keep oil in your lamps. This is the reason why you've got to keep yourself illuminated. Keep the Holy Spirit, because he knows the hearts of every person. You got to keep that oil in your life so you can recognize what's happening in the earth and that falling away that is happening is preparing hearts for the Antichrist. But while the falling away is happening. There's also a drawing near that is happening to the presence of God.
Speaker 1:There are preachers out there that are sharing the word and showing you how to buy the oil, and if you can buy the oil, you can be blessed in your life. Don't let anybody tell you not to buy the oil. You got to have the oil in your life, ladies and gentlemen. You got to keep oil in your lamps, love in your heart, sin and leaven out of your life. Can I get a witness? Somebody? Can somebody say I'm keeping the sin and the leaven out and I'm keeping the oil in. Come on, and that's exactly what God wants to do in and through your life.
Speaker 1:So, listen, I want to take a minute and I want to pray for you today because I want you to be rooted and grounded. Listen, you need to be discipled in your life. You have somebody walking with you, pouring into you, investing into you. Yes, you need to be in Bible study. Yes, you need to take the classes. Yes, you need to be in church, but you need someone that's walking with you, and the Bible says where two of you are gathered there, he would be in the midst. So Jesus Christ shows himself strong in the mix of all the things. When two people come together, he'll be in the midst and he will mix everything up and bring his anointing. Bring his 8,000 with your 1,000, the other person 1,000, which makes 10,000. And you'll see an anointing of multiplication and increase that will come upon your life.
Speaker 1:Get discipled in this season. Get rooted and grounded. Become the man or woman that God's called you to be. Start looking how to fulfill your call and destiny. Stop looking for prayer lines and start developing till you become one. Stop looking for a prophetic word until you know how to go up into the mountain of God and get one and then therefore become a prophetic prayer line for somebody else. Come on somebody. Stop looking for a handout and start handing out. Get to a point where you can hand out to others. God wants you to have the abundant life. He came that we might have life and have it abundant, which means to with joy and to the full and overflowing. Come on somebody. But we've got to grow up in the things of God.
Speaker 1:And what this prosperity message. What I don't like about it, the only thing I don't like about it, is this you can have all the prosperity but not pay the premium, I don't have a problem with prosperity as long as the premium's tied to it, but when that premium's removed, then I have a problem. So, father, in the name of Jesus, I pray for every person listening right now that, Lord, they would keep oil in their lamps, love in heart and sin and leaven out of their lives. Lord, I pray right now that you would bless them, anoint them and fill them in the name of Jesus, surround them with your presence and with your goodness, surround them with your glory and with your anointing Father, help them to be rooted and grounded in this season, to not be deceived, father, to lower the premium and to lower the penalty for sin, to lower the premium for the blessing, but, lord, to realize they've got to pay for the oil.
Speaker 1:And, lord, let us all be a people that have oil in their lamps, love in our hearts and sin and leaven out of our lives. And, lord, let us not allow the sin or the leaven to begin to fill up in our lives to where our oil begins to drop. We're in the reserve level, even to the empty level, and we're burnt out and tired. No illumination and deception can begin to creep in. But, father, I thank you for keeping your people, baptizing us all afresh in the Holy Ghost and with power, filling us afresh, o God, and allowing our oil to be full that we might be illuminated and warm in this dark and in this cold place that we call the world system. Lord, there can be blessings in our lives in every area, because of how we live, for you, help us to realize and I pray for every person that's listening and watching that, lord, they would know how to possess their own soul, they would know their own spiritual walk and how they need to live in it. Bless them, anoint them and fill them, and, father, we'll give you the praise, the honor and all the glory. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen, amen, amen.
Speaker 1:Now listen before you go. If you are looking for a place to be filled up and you don't have anybody discipling you one, if you have a church, go and find your pastor. I need someone to walk with me. If nobody will walk with you, you come to us, email us at admin at anotherlevelchurch, or you can simply go to our webpage, wwwanotherlevelchurch, or you can call us at 412-586-7159.
Speaker 1:Say I want someone to walk with me. Pastor Jay assigned somebody to me. I've got a destiny, a call in my life, and I'm tired of tripping over the same thing. I'm tired of not having victory. I'm tired of not walking in authority and victory. I'm ready to walk in the abundant life and I need some help. I need you to reach out to us and to let us know, and before we go, as always, don't forget to subscribe to our podcast.
