0:00:00 - 0:00:24 So I've been accused of doom and gloom and uh I've told you all that the gospel is not puppy dogs and rainbows all the time. That's an interesting phrase because rainbow is the, the sign of God. And so in a way, the gospel is all rainbows. And uh sometimes like right now there are puppy dogs and these 0:00:24 - 0:00:46 ones are particularly cute. It's a beautiful day. We're approaching the equinox here. Uh It's, it's beautiful, blue sunny skies. I'm on a lunch break right now. I just want to make a quick video because I saw on the news today that a new poll said that 40% of Americans believe that World War three quote 0:00:46 - 0:01:08 unquote is imminent. Now for years, I've been telling you that China and Russia are going to invade the United States and they will, and actually they won't be alone. There will be other countries involved in that, which I don't think I've said before. But now that, you know, three years ago, no one 0:01:08 - 0:01:35 agreed with me on that and I called a lot of flak, which I don't care, but now a lot of people agree with me. Um So if you're a student of the scriptures, you'll see patterns repeat in the way God makes messages known to his people. And so I'm gonna invoke some of those here. And, uh, I'm, I'm going 0:01:35 - 0:01:57 to do what I call the fleece reversal. So I've been telling you for years that this is gonna happen and now a lot of people believe it's gonna happen, maybe a majority of people will believe it soon enough. I don't know, but I'm going to tell you that this is not, it, it's not going to happen right now 0:01:57 - 0:02:18 . Now, why am I saying this? Well, how do I know this is one question? And I'm not gonna answer that right now. And the reason for that is that the reasons need to be unpacked very carefully. And one of the, one of the, uh, unfortunate constraints I'm up against is I just don't have any time. So I have 0:02:18 - 0:02:40 to ruthlessly prioritize everything I do. And, uh, as far as my ministry time, there are much more important things I'm working on right now. And, um, prophecy, I have a stack of them that I could share, but I have to weigh that against the benefit of doing so compared to what I have to not do because 0:02:39 - 0:03:07 I'm doing that. Instead, these things take a lot of time. But, um, I'm reversing the fleece here. The dog just bit me. It's probably simple than that. They're wrestling right behind me. There's two of them, um man puppy teeth are sharp. So, um anyway, with the, with the reversal, the reason uh this is 0:03:07 - 0:03:29 useful to do is that it is good to fear God and it's good to have an accurate expectation of what he's doing and what he will do shortly. But there's a time and a place for everything and there are lessons to be learned, not just in what happens but how it happens and how you hear about it and what you 0:03:29 - 0:03:57 do about it and all that fine print. So, um, all is not well, um, and things are gonna get a lot worse, but just remember it's been kind of a dreary winter up here where I live, but um, there's still sunny days ahead and God is in control. He knows exactly what he's doing and never ever underestimate 0:03:56 - 0:04:20 the amount of love he has for you. If, if it were revealed to you in a moment, it would overwhelm you, it would kill you because it'd be so overwhelming. So seek him in all things and make use of this time that he gives us every day is precious. Every day is essential to doing what we need to do, what 0:04:20 - 0:04:45 we came here to do. So fix yourself, be the best person that you can be, help those around you as much as you can and get ready for what's coming for those that prepare themselves spiritually, it will all pan out in a way that increases their eternal state and their joy. And for those who don't, and 0:04:45 - 0:04:50 who waste this time, it won't go very well with you.
