This is Not for The Faint of Heart... It's Time to Decide Where You Stand.

Added: 2026-05-05

[00:00:12]The intention of this message is not to condemn or to bash anyone, but rather a warning to come out of this political spell that has been cast upon this nation and upon the world. We've talked about this left-wing, right-wing paradigm that we've been fed our whole lives. And when you look back at these administrations that were created by this government to give us a choice of one side or the other, they have always radicalized their own values and distorted their very morals to a place to where they both work in unison to bring about a specific agenda. In the 1800s, there was a man named Thomas Nast who created the elephant and the donkey.

[00:01:00]That was a satirical cartoon to represent these political parties of the Republicans and Democrats. And the reason that it was a cartoon is because they were telling you to your face that it was a circus. Because they were two sides that were created to force you to choose one side or the other. And the reason I'm telling you this is because I see a lot of people getting angry whenever you criticize one of these political parties or the other. And that is where you fall into the trap. You fall into this spell of witchcraft that has been cast upon this nation that you believe that you should align your morals with one party or the other when they are both leading you in the wrong direction. You need to take a minute and step back and look at the fruit that's on the tree of both of these parties.

[00:01:54]Because when you go back 25 years ago and see what the original values and morals were of these parties to where they have came now, you can see how that deception is leading you in a certain direction. You have to come out of this here and now and look at things from a bird's eyee view and pay attention. And as I've always told you, the devil is in the details. You have to break loose from this political matrix that the world has been brainwashed into believing that they must choose a side.

[00:02:27]This is something that has been done that people have been deceived into because they desire to keep you divided.

[00:02:34]Jesus told us that a house divided against itself cannot stand and a nation divided against itself shall be brought to desolation. You need to come out of this system, this man-made system, and put all of your faith and your trust in God because this is the hour where we are seeing deception come upon this earth like you cannot imagine. And I want to talk a little bit about that. I recently saw where there were all these Christian content creators and news organizations that were in this uproar over this AI generated image that the president posted of himself depicted as some type of a Jesus type character where he's appears to be performing some kind of a miracle. There was so much back and forth over this that it literally took over the internet for days with some people calling it blasphemy and others defending the image and the president saying that he was just trolling the pope. But I want you to take a minute to think about something. We've got people out here that are still arguing over whether or not the president is a devout follower of Jesus Christ. And when you look at the fruit that is on that tree, so to speak, he's already told you that he does not believe that there is anything that can get him into the kingdom of heaven.

[00:04:05]>> I don't think there's anything going to get me in heaven. Okay. I really I think I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly an Air Force One. I'm not sure I I'm going to be able to make heaven. Now let me tell you something here. If you are a bornagain believer in Jesus Christ, you know in whom you hath believed as Paul said, you will proclaim the gospel. How many times in your life have you ever encountered a born-again believer in Jesus who is bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ who is filled with the Holy Spirit who did not tell you that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. And no man comes to the father but through him. But we have this man that's telling us he doesn't believe there's anything that could get him into heaven. We see him saying other things in these social media posts that I've talked about how he posted the other day when he said, "Praise be to Allah." And he is using profanity constantly dropping fbombs on mainstream media channels and on social media post on on Christian so-called Christian holidays.

[00:05:20]Ladies and gentlemen, if you can't see what's happening here, you need to open your eyes because these things are being created as a distraction. You have to pay attention to the details because the devil is in the details. When you see these people who are over here in Israel praying to a rock and putting these little notes in this rock and they're wearing a kipa on their head, these people are openly practicing Judaism.

[00:05:51]We've talked about this before. This is a talmetic religion where they do not study the living word of God. They have their own text, their own doctrine where they believe that Jesus Christ was a false prophet. Their text goes on to say that Jesus is burning in hell in his own excrement. These people deny the Lord Jesus Christ. You need to understand that when you see these people in Jerusalem and they're praying to this this rock wall, this wailing wall, that is a false idol. The Bible tells us there is one God and one mediator between God and men, and it is the man Christ Jesus. Why would these people be telling you that they believe in Jesus while they're over here praying to a rock? You need to understand that these people are walking in open blasphemy and they have the masses deceived into thinking that they are godly people because they throw out the name of Jesus every once in a while. Again, I'm not trying to condemn or bash the president or say anything negative about him. I'm making an observation. You should pray for this man that he would turn his heart towards the Lord Jesus Christ and repent for his sins. You should pray fervently that this man would receive salvation through his proclamation of his belief in Jesus. The Bible says with the heart man believeth under righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. But we have to pay attention to the fruit that is on the tree. Jesus said, "A good tree cannot bring forth corrupt fruit, and a corrupt tree cannot bring forth good fruit. Wherefore, every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is heuned down and cast into the fire. By their fruits, you shall know them."

[00:07:50]We have to look at the things that nobody seems to want to acknowledge or accept. Like this weird poem that Donald Trump kept reciting about the snake in his campaign rallies when he was being elected for the first term.

[00:08:06]>> Has anyone heard of it? The snake. Have you heard it? Should I do it?

[00:08:11]>> Take me in, O tender woman. Take me in for heaven's sake. Take me in, oh tender woman. sighed that vicious snake. "I saved you," cried the woman. "And you've bitten me. But why?" "You knew your bite was poisonous, and now I'm going to die." "Shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin. "You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in."

[00:08:40]Now, when I began to look deeper into these things, I saw this video that seemed kind of disturbing because he was at this turning point event speaking and he was addressing Christians and he said, "Oh, my beautiful Christians, if you'll just vote for me this one time, it'll be fixed. It'll be finished and you will never have to vote again." And if you listen closely, it almost sounds as if he says, "I'm not a Christian."

[00:09:07]And again, Christians, get out and vote.

[00:09:10]Just this time, you won't have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It'll be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you Christians. I'm a Christian. I love you. Get out. You got to get out and vote. In four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not going to have to vote.

[00:09:34]You won't have to vote anymore. My beautiful Christians, I love you Christians. I'm a Christian.

[00:09:44]I love you. Get out. You got to get out and vote. In four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not going to have to vote.

[00:09:58]Now, what I want you to pay attention to here is the fact that Jesus never really warned the body of Christ about non-believers.

[00:10:08]But he sure said a whole lot about people who claimed to be followers of him who are wolves in sheep's clothing.

[00:10:17]He warned us over and over to beware of false prophets. He told us that people would come in his name. And the Bible even goes on to say that for no marvel Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light and will proclaim himself to be God. But I want to read to you here in the book of First John chapter 2 starting in verse 19. It says, "They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us.

[00:10:49]But they went out that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have an uncction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is Antichrist, that denith the Father and the Son. Whosoever denith the son, the same hath not the father. But he that acknowledgeth the son hath the father also.

[00:11:26]Ladies and gentlemen, we are now living as I have told you many times before in the hour of revelation and the deception of the enemy is in full effect. You need to understand that what we're seeing here is chaos that is being brought to the forefront. You've got people out here that are being distracted by social media posts and memes and they're arguing over their opinion of the faith of a man who is showing fruit that is unbecoming of a man of God. And it is time for you to open your eyes and pray for discernment. Because while all of these distractions are taking place and people are bombarding the internet with all of these posts talking about whether or not they think that Donald Trump posted blasphemy or whether or not he's a man of God and follows Jesus, they are literally spending billions of taxpayer money to block the straight of Hormuse.

[00:12:30]And the price of oil is steadily rising.

[00:12:34]Just today, it cost me $184 to fill my truck up with diesel fuel.

[00:12:40]We're seeing COVID era gas prices all over again. Diesel fuel is hitting $6 a gallon across this nation. And all of these people are tore up over these distractions. And they don't realize what's happening. We were told that this war was going to be over in two or three days. And now the president has came out and made a statement that we should see an ease in gas prices maybe by the midterm elections in November. They are spending billions of your money on a war overseas while the people of this nation are struggling to buy groceries. And ladies and gentlemen, we haven't even seen the fallout from these fuel prices.

[00:13:30]We're about to see a surge in the market prices of beef and groceries and shipping and the cost of goods. And we're already reeling from the inflation from COVID and the Biden administration.

[00:13:44]And we're being told that this is going to be our golden era. It's no secret that you can go to the grocery store and see the prices that we see. You can't get enough food to feed your family for a week for $200 unless you're buying dry goods. Ladies and gentlemen, this is just the beginning. As I told you, this political system is set up to pretend that they are against each other, but they both work in unison. They are leading you towards this agenda that they have set in place. It is to collapse the current system to take down the US dollar. And now that all of these things are happening, we're seeing that China and Russia are beginning to escalate their presence in that area of the Middle East in the straight of Hormuz. says, "We just saw where Russia is now escorting their oil tanker ships with warships and China came out and made a statement and said basically that the US should not interfere with Chinese business because the Chinese ships will resume to do business in the straight of Hormoose." And that is not a threat.

[00:15:02]That is a statement. They are openly telling you that the new world order is coming. We've seen so many videos on these things. We've talked about this over and over. We're watching the final nails being driven into the coffin of the United States economy because they must collapse the dollar so that they can bring about a digital global currency. Ladies and gentlemen, this is biblical. What we're seeing is an escalation of war, and it's causing all of these problems with the global economy, with the world economy, because it's driving up the cost of goods. It's going to get rid of physical currency.

[00:15:46]We've talked about how the Bible says that Satan is going to set up a system of control, the beast system, and no one will be able to buy or sell unless they have a mark in their right hand or in their forehead. But as we see these things happening, I'm telling you these things because you need to wake up and understand that you're being given to these vain disputations about whether or not you think so and so believes in God. All the while, they have you distracted and they're pulling the rug out from under your feet because you you don't see the forest for the trees. You need to be rooted in the word of God so that you can understand that these people are all serving their master and it is not Jesus Christ. If somebody, as I said before, if somebody is filled with the Holy Spirit of the living God and they are bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus, they will have no other choice but to proclaim the gospel. That is the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Longsuffering, gentleness, kindness, peacefulness, patience, temperance, which is self-control.

[00:16:59]We don't see that with these people who are out here spouting profanity and threatening to bomb water supplies and civilian power supplies and commit crimes against humanity. Ladies and gentlemen, the Bible tells us that we must love our neighbor as we love oursel. This is the second and greatest commandment of all. And it is like unto the first, which is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. I'm not saying that we should expect political leaders to be perfect. But we do know them by their fruit. And when they are openly denying Jesus Christ and worshiping false idols, and if you're mentioned in the Epstein files thousands upon thousands upon thousands of times, I would say that that is a good indication that there is some rotten fruit on your tree. Again, this is not about condemnation. This is about telling you that we are in a season of deception.

[00:18:08]The enemy has you right where he wants you when you are bickering and arguing online about ridiculous things about something that you can clearly see the truth in. If you're studied to show yourself approved before God, a workman, not needing to be ashamed, but rightly dividing the word of truth. That is why we have this word. The Bible tells us that those who are on the milk are unskillful in the word. That means that you only read the fluff, the good stuff.

[00:18:42]You have to get into the meat, all of the things that are hidden in the Bible, so that you must study and pray for understanding. It says that strong meat belongth to them who have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

[00:18:58]Jesus clearly told us in the book of John chapter 10 starting in verse one.

[00:19:04]He said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that enterth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that enterth in by the door, is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadth them out." And when he puteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice, and a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him, for they know not the voice of strangers. It goes on to say in verse 9, I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture.

[00:19:55]The thief cometh not, but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the living word of God. These are the words of Jesus Christ. If Jesus is openly telling you that he is the only door into the kingdom of heaven, which he is, and if anyone climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber. Why are these people who you are arguing about whether or not they are holy men of God over here praying to this rock and practicing a religion in front of your face that openly blasphemes the Lord Jesus Christ?

[00:20:48]You need to pay attention to the details, the fruit that's on the tree.

[00:20:53]If they were of us, they would have continued with us. They would be laboring in the faith proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ. Wake up and understand that these people are not of God. If they were, they would feel conviction on their hearts about this blasphemy that they commit in front of your face. They would feel conviction on their hearts about the filth and the profanity that they speak from the largest platform in this nation. The world is watching the leader of this country and he is not doing things that are becoming of a man of Jesus Christ.

[00:21:36]Why on earth would you be online bickering and arguing with people about whether or not you believe he is holy and he's openly denying the Lord Jesus Christ to your face? You need to understand that the Bible tells us in Matthew 12 and:e 34, Jesus said, "Oh generation of vipers, how can ye being evil speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh." We were warned multiple times by Jesus himself that there would be many false Christ arise to deceive many.

[00:22:13]They would claim to come in his name and even claim to be Christ. This deception is happening in this hour. And the body of Christ is falling into the trap. You need to pay attention here to what Jesus told us in Matthew chap 24 starting in verse 4. It says, "And Jesus answered and said unto them, take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ and shall deceive many. And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that ye be not troubled, for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

[00:23:06]Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to think about this for a second.

[00:23:10]It's telling us here in Matthew 24, these are the words in red. Jesus spoke these things. Many shall come in my name. They're even going to say, "I am Christ."

[00:23:24]Look at what these people are doing.

[00:23:26]They're out here trolling you. One minute in a social media post saying, "Glory to God." The next minute they're posting something that says, "Praise be to Allah." We're seeing the Pope talk about Islam. We see the One World Religion Center set up in Dubai. They're talking about Chrislam. You've got the leader of this Vatican over here saying that all roads lead to the same God.

[00:23:56]These people are promoting a one world religion. You see all of these leaders that keep talking about the Muslim faith and all of these things. And now we see the president making a post depicting himself as Jesus out here throwing around the name of Jesus. We see all of these secular music artists talking about Jesus all of a sudden. He said at this time that many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and shall deceive many. You have to understand what that's saying there because we are members of the body of Christ. He's telling us that there are going to be people coming and saying they are of us.

[00:24:46]Right? You have to remember what we read there in the book of first John. It said that they went out from us but they were not of us. For if they were of us, they would have continued with us. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the most disturbing part. Jesus said that this is going to happen at a time when you hear of wars and rumors of wars and nation rising against nation and kingdom against kingdom. Look at these videos of these people over here that are trying to pick a fight in the Middle East over this straight of Hormuz. And now they're telling us that we're going to have to endure this until the fall of this year.

[00:25:29]And we're already seeing our economy struggle. And at the same time that all of this is happening, Jesus literally said they're going to come in his name.

[00:25:40]And we see these people shouting the name of Jesus and bringing all of this confusion. I'm trying to paint a picture here for you to understand what is happening in this hour. I know a lot of these things that I've talked about, I've touched on before, but I have this heaviness on my soul to bring you this message so that you would come out of this deception. Stop trying to defend these political figures that are openly going against the word of God. You need to understand that we are now in an hour where it is time for the men and women of God to get ready to put on the whole armor of God. so that you may be able to stand against the ws of the devil. Do you not understand that all of these things that we are seeing coming to pass are biblical? We've talked about this, but they're openly telling us that they are going to disclose aliens. Do you understand that when they march these so-called aliens out and tell us whatever they are, these are demonic entities that have been here since the days of Noah. These are the same demons that have always dwelt on the earth.

[00:26:55]I've talked about this before, but ladies and gentlemen, we are entering into an hour of deception like mankind has never encountered in the history of their existence.

[00:27:07]Whatever kind of deities they are going to march out in front of the public eye because Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the son of man also." They are going to possess an ancient wisdom, an ancient knowledge, and they are going to bring a doctrine that is going to disprove the Bible in a way that is going to confound the minds of the masses. And many are going to believe the lie. The Bible tells us in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 starting in verse 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie that they all might be damned who believe not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

[00:27:55]Ladies and gentlemen, this is going to be an hour of trial and tribulation like we have never seen before. And it is going to come with the greatest deception that mankind has ever known.

[00:28:10]Your Bible tells you these things. You need to wake up and understand that we must be ready in this hour, rooted in the gospel, in the doctrine of the word of God. Because when these things begin to come to pass, there are going to be so many deceptions. There's going to be so much chaos. You don't understand what that looks like because you've never experienced it before. But we see all of the cards lining up. The writing is on the wall. Judgment is coming to the nations who have turned their back on God. And they've celebrated sin and iniquity in the streets. And now we are seeing Satan making his final stand to stand against God and to set up his kingdom on the earth. The beast system.

[00:29:04]We've talked about the AI. We've talked about the brain chips and all of these things that many people believe are conspiracy, but I'm here to tell you today that you better be studying your Bible. You better be writing these scriptures on the tables of your heart because my Bible tells me that there's coming a time when God will send a famine in the land for the word of God.

[00:29:30]It says in Amos 8, starting in verse 11, "Behold, the days come, sayaeth the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord, and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east. They shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it."

[00:29:57]What do you think it's going to look like when God sends a famine in the land for his word?

[00:30:04]That means that people are going to run to and fro seeking the bread of life and not find it.

[00:30:13]Don't you understand what God's trying to tell you when he says, "Seek the Lord while he may be found. Call upon him while he is near."

[00:30:23]Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not trying to scare you.

[00:30:27]But I'm telling you that there are some we're in uncharted waters. There are some crazy things going on right now.

[00:30:33]We're seeing some of the most unprecedented things we've ever seen in our lives to where they're telling us now that they've raised the age of the draft for men in America to 42.

[00:30:51]And by December of 2026, all men will automatically be registered for the draft. Why all of a sudden are they choosing to do this if they're not planning some kind of a major world conflict? They are openly telling you what their plans are as they always have through movies and propaganda media. But I'm telling you something here, guys, that you better prepare your heart for.

[00:31:18]When Jesus said, "All these are the beginning of sorrows," there's going to be confusion and sorrow like the world has never seen. And only those who are rooted in Christ are going to be able to endure.

[00:31:38]I know that sounds scary. I know that doesn't make people feel good. But I'm not here to give you the fluff. I'm here to give you the meat. If you want the milk, go tune in to some of these pastors who just tell you about the good and how blessed you are and how if you'll just send them your money, then you'll be good and blessed. What I'm trying to tell you here is that you need to be preparing your heart for the fact that Jesus Christ told us that when we see these things happening, it is going to be the time before his return. And the only way that you are going to be able to endure is to get as close to him as possible. The Bible says in 1 Peter chapter 4 starting in verse 18, "And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

[00:32:32]Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in welloing as unto a faithful creator."

[00:32:44]I've said it before and I'm going to say it again.

[00:32:48]The body of Christ in this generation is not being properly prepared for the things that are coming upon this earth.

[00:32:56]You need to understand that we're living in dark times.

[00:33:00]We're seeing the leaders of nations bombing civilian communities. What Israel is doing in Lebanon is atrocious.

[00:33:11]Ladies and gentlemen, go look at the videos of these hundreds of thousands of people. These their majority of them are Christians. They're fleeing their homes because they are bombing civilian communities.

[00:33:27]This is happening real time. Christians are being persecuted all over the world.

[00:33:32]Look at Nigeria where they have massacred over 52,000 of these people because they have proclaimed their faith in Jesus Christ.

[00:33:44]Guys, I believe when all of this darkness creeps into the world, when all of these these sorrows begin that Jesus spoke of before the time of great tribulation, the only people that are going to be able to shine the light of Christ are those who have been rooted in him before time. These people who have been studying the Bible. Imagine what we just read there in Amos chapter 8. How it says that God will send a famine in the land for his word. Why do you think the Bible tells us that we should let the word of God be as signs upon our hands and as frontlets between our eyes? We should write the scriptures on the doorpost of our house and we should write them on the tables of our heart.

[00:34:32]The Bible tells us that we should be always ready to give answer to those who ask about the hope that's inside us.

[00:34:39]Things are going to be dark in this hour. There are going to be people who are going to run to and fro seeking the living word of God and they are not going to find it. Who do you think they're going to come to? They're going to come to those people who carry the light of life, the living word of God that dwells in them. that greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world. That's why I talk about these things so fervently because as I said, we're in uncharted waters, ladies and gentlemen. We don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. And it's not that we should be fearful, but we should be waking people up and sounding the alarm and saying, "Listen y'all, you better start reading your Bible because I would say that if the enemy is going to be loosed on this earth, he's probably going to make it illegal for you to own one of these books. And if you get caught with it, it's going to be like one of these nations like North Korea or China where they're going to throw you in a work camp or put you to death for having this book. They're coming after Christians. Ladies and gentlemen, you're already seeing it unfold on the media.

[00:35:47]You're seeing all of this mockery and blasphemy and all of this down talk towards the name of Jesus Christ.

[00:35:54]They're slowly desensitizing you and preparing you for what is to come. We see these things happening and I believe the biggest problem with the modern-day church is they don't believe that we serve a God that will send people to hell. They've been told so much of this fluff and nonsense and false doctrine that they don't understand that our God is merciful, but he is also just. He wants you to prepare your heart. Repent from your sins and draw nigh to him in this hour and be ready for the return of Jesus Christ. These people have heard these messages about how Jesus is only love and there's no judgment and there's there's just love. You can't judge. The Bible tells me in the book of Revelation chapter 19, starting in verse 11, and I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat upon him was called faithful and true, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns, and he had a name written that no man knew but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses clothed in fine linen and white and clean. You need to understand that we serve a just God. The Bible tells us that he is not slack concerning his promise as some men count slackness but he's longsuffering to usward that not any should perish but that all should come to repentance. You need to understand what that means. Repentance.

[00:37:30]That means that you have a genuine remorse and a sorrowful heart that you have walked in iniquity and it makes you feel conviction to a place that you no longer desire to walk in this sin that separates you from God. These wolves and sheep's clothing in these dens of deception that tell you that once you're saved, you're always saved and you can live however you want to live. They are leading you astray because you do not have repentance in your heart. If you feel like that you can continue in sin after you've received the promised gift of the Holy Spirit, conviction is necessary for repentance. Ladies and gentlemen, we must draw nigh to God so that he will draw nigh to us. Many people don't understand what this means because they think that all of a sudden they can come out of this iniquity that they've lived in for 30 years or more and then just automatically be close to God. I want to explain something to you here to help you to understand.

[00:38:39]If we've spent all this time walking away from God, what does the Bible say? If you draw nigh to God, he will draw nigh to you. So that goes without saying that if you physically depart from him, he will physically depart from you. And that also works in the spiritual realm. It parallels the physical. So if you desire to return to God, you are going to have to turn and walk back towards him. You're going to have to labor in the faith and get close to him. If you walked, 1500 miles away from God, you're going to have to walk 1,500 miles back. I'm not saying that you have to do any kind of works to earn your salvation. I'm saying that you have physically departed from him and you're going to have to work just as hard walking back towards him as you did laboring in that sin. It's not instant gratification. You're going to have to show yourself approved. The Bible says that you must walk worthy of the vocation wherewith you were called.

[00:39:53]He's a just God. He understands that you went that far away. But he wants to see that you desire him enough to walk back to him. I hope that I've explained that in a way that you can understand because there's a lot of people out there that have lived in sin and filth and iniquity for so long and they just think that they can say a prayer and all of a sudden everything in their life is going to be holy and perfect. He will be with you in those low moments. He said, "My grace is sufficient for thee and my strength is made perfect in weakness.

[00:40:32]But if you've gone astray and served the enemy, I am guilty of this guys. I used my gift that he has given me to fight for the enemy for so many years and I had to spend years of my life redeeming the time because the days are evil. I want to read to you here in the book of Ephesians chapter 5 starting in verse 14. It says, "Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee the light.

[00:41:07]See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

[00:41:19]Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is."

[00:41:26]Do you understand what that's saying there?

[00:41:30]Wherefore he saith, "Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead." We were once dead in our sins. We must wake up and come out of these things that separate us from God. Because the longer we walk in sin, the farther we walk from God. Ladies and gentlemen, when I tell you that I used my gift to fight for the enemy much longer than I did for the Lord, I was in a place where I no longer felt conviction. I could do no wrong. I didn't feel like there was anything that I could do that was wrong. I was completely and totally absent from the Lord. I didn't have God in my life. I didn't know that the things that I was doing was destroying my eternal soul.

[00:42:15]And one night I was in a hotel room in Birmingham, Alabama.

[00:42:20]And there were things in that room that would satisfy the flesh. There was beautiful women around. And there was things in that room and and people from all different walks of life. And we were having a party. Everything was great.

[00:42:34]And I thought, man, this this is this is the life.

[00:42:38]And all of a sudden, I saw a man standing at the door that had the countenance of of of the Holy Spirit.

[00:42:47]And I saw him turn and look at his watch.

[00:42:52]And it was as if he was saying, "I'm about to leave and where I'm going, you cannot go."

[00:43:02]And in that moment, I felt like a child.

[00:43:08]who was watching his father drive away down a road going on a fishing trip that I've always wanted to go on. And I was running, chasing him. And I knew that no matter how fast or how hard I run, I couldn't go. And I never want to feel like that again. I never want to experience that again because he was telling me, I've been with you through all of this.

[00:43:33]But this is where I'm about to step off.

[00:43:36]I'm about to leave and if you want to stay here, that's fine.

[00:43:42]But I'm leaving and you can't come with me.

[00:43:46]And that night, I stood in the shower of that hotel room and I wept and I cried out to God and I said, "Father, I'm so sorry that I've spent all of this time doing these things and walking in this iniquity. Please don't leave me.

[00:44:09]Please don't let me fall to the wayside.

[00:44:13]I know I've done all these things in error. I feel this conviction, but if you will give me a chance, I want to go.

[00:44:23]I want to come with you. I want to go where you're going.

[00:44:28]Guys, when I tell you that I felt like a little child, I want you to imagine what that's like.

[00:44:37]I want you to imagine that you're a little kid and your dad is leaving to go on a trip and you really want to go with him. A lot of y'all have probably experienced that.

[00:44:54]And as he's driving down the road, you're running down the driveway as fast as you can run and you're crying.

[00:45:02]And no matter how hard you run, you can't catch up to him.

[00:45:08]And you know that you're not going to get to go.

[00:45:13]Guys, I felt that. I felt that. And it was God. He was telling me that this is it.

[00:45:19]My spirit's not going to strive with you anymore.

[00:45:23]This is your last call.

[00:45:25]This is your last chance.

[00:45:28]And it's not going to be easy for you to get close to me.

[00:45:33]And I'm so thankful that he was merciful enough to allow me to turn and begin to walk towards him.

[00:45:41]It didn't happen instantly. I went through a lot of trials.

[00:45:46]I went through a lot of failures.

[00:45:49]And I'm here to tell you today that if you're in that position, he's merciful. He loves you. He wants you to come unto him.

[00:46:03]He came to give you that life, that eternal life, and to give it to you more abundantly. He said, "He that believeth on me, out of his inward parts will flow rivers of living water." I'm living proof of that, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:46:20]There's there's nothing here worth losing your eternal salvation for.

[00:46:26]When somebody comes to me and they say, "Well, if God's so good and he's so loving, how could a just and loving God throw somebody into hell for eternity?"

[00:46:39]Well, I want to explain something to you here.

[00:46:43]I want you to imagine that you're walking up on a house that's on fire and there's people in this house.

[00:46:53]And I'm talking about it's blazing. the flames are coming out from under the eaves and out of the windows and there's not much time and you run to the door and you kick it open and you start to scream and you tell them you say, "Hey, y'all got to get out of here. This house is on fire at you're going to burn to death. You got to come out right now. You're going to die. You're going to burn alive in this house."

[00:47:18]And they look at you and they say, "No, we're going to stay here.

[00:47:24]What are you going to do?

[00:47:26]Are you going to go in there and burn with them and try to drag them out while they're clinging to the inside of that house? No. You're going to say, "Well, I did what I could, but I'm going to let them burn." That's humanity.

[00:47:44]What do you think God's going to say to these people who understands that he sent his only begotten son into the world to suffer a horrible punishment to take the the punishment and the weight and break that yoke of bondage of sin that condemned us. and he took it upon himself and people still choose to refuse that gift and live in the house of the devil.

[00:48:22]That's justice.

[00:48:24]He says, "If you don't want my gift and you choose to live there, I love you enough to let you stay in the pit of hell. That's where you want to live.

[00:48:33]That's where I'll let you live. I'm not going to force you to come and live in my house. It is a gift.

[00:48:39]You need to understand what a what an inheritance is.

[00:48:44]You see, the Bible tells us that no weapon formed against us shall prosper and every tongue that rises against us in judgment we shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord. Key word, servants. those who serve him. Jesus said, "Not all who say to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter in to the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my father."

[00:49:11]You see, an inheritance, a lot of y'all might understand this, and some might not, but it works the same way. You say you got a grandmother that owns a farm of 250 acres, and it's been in your family for over a hundred years, and you're the last grandchild that's left.

[00:49:29]And you know that when your grandmother passes on, she's going to leave you that farm. That's your inheritance, right?

[00:49:36]You're going to you're going to earn that inheritance because she loves you and she wants you to have that farm. But if you begin to do things against her, that goes against her will for you and you begin to act in a way that she don't like, do you think that she's still going to want to give you that inheritance? If you go against her and you begin to treat her bad and you do things that she doesn't want you to do, she's going to find somebody else to give that inheritance to. That's the way God operates. If you are obedient to his word and you seek his will for your life, you don't understand that your prayer life with God is the most important thing in this life. To talk to him, to seek him early and often to go into your bedroom, into your closet, close the door and pray to him secretly so that when he sees you praying secretly, he can bless you openly.

[00:50:43]When I tell you that the men and women of God need to be getting ready in this hour, not only do you need to be studying your Bible, but you need to be getting closer to him through works in Christ, through showing him that you are willing to be obedient to his word. You can fool people in the church. You can fool people in the world, but you cannot fool God because he is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

[00:51:08]Ladies and gentlemen, I wanted to share this with you so that you could understand that this is the time where you need to be making your decision on whether or not you are willing to labor in this harvest to earn that reward that Jesus spoke of when he said, "Behold, I'm coming quickly and I'm bringing with me each man's reward according as his works shall be." We must walk circumspectly, wise, not as fools. Awake out of death and come so that the Lord can give you the light, the true light of life.

[00:51:48]He's telling you all these things in his word. And there's so much doctrine out there, ladies and gentlemen. That's why Paul said, "If if we or an angel or anyone comes to you preaching another gospel, let him be accursed."

[00:52:01]Some of these things don't make you feel good, but they are for correction and reproof so that you can turn and begin to make that journey back towards God.

[00:52:12]So that one day when you see him leaving, you won't be that child saying, "Father, wait.

[00:52:19]Wait. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't know it was going to be this way. I didn't know you were going to leave for eternity." I believe that that's why the Bible says that there's going to be a place of weeping and wailing and nashing of teeth.

[00:52:34]Not only is it going to be the fire that is not quenched and a place where the worm dieth not and the smoke of their torment arose up forever and ever, but they're going to forever see the kingdom of God leaving for eternity, never to return again. The light of life, the bread of life, the light of the world is going to depart from them and they will never have an opportunity to get close to him again to feel his presence.

[00:53:05]He doesn't want that for anybody. That's why he said that he's not slack concerning his promise. But you have to walk worthy of that vocation wherewith you have been called. Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't understand something in the Bible, pray before you read this book.

[00:53:24]Pray and ask the Lord to give you understanding.

[00:53:27]Pray and ask him to open up your eyes and open up your heart and give you the gift of discernment so that you may write these scriptures on the tables of your heart so that you may apply them to your life and use them to help others come to the knowledge of the truth in Jesus Christ.

[00:53:48]Like I said, ladies and gentlemen, when these these sorrows begin and this darkness takes hold of the earth, there's not going to be many of us that are going to be beacons of light.

[00:54:01]That's why he said the harvest is plenty, but the laborers are few. Pray, therefore, that the Lord of the harvest would send forth laborers into this harvest.

[00:54:12]You have not because you ask not. Ask the Lord every day when you wake up to use you, to send you forth into this world, to help somebody to know Jesus Christ.

[00:54:27]Guys, I know it's hard to keep up with all these things that are going on in this world. I know it's it's chaotic, but we haven't seen anything yet. Don't be given to these vain disputations. Pay attention to what's happening around you, but don't get caught in the deception.

[00:54:48]Jesus gave you eyes to see and ears to hear. Ask him for the gifts of his ministry that you would be able to go forward to advance his kingdom.

[00:55:04]Jesus said something really interesting here and I want you to pray for understanding but focus on what I'm about to read to you in John chapter 9 and verse four he said I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day the night cometh when no man can work and I'm not trying to be doom and gloom but I'm telling you here ladies and gentlemen the night is coming when no man can work.

[00:55:35]There is an hour of darkness that is approaching this earth and people are not ready for it. Ladies and gentlemen, the book of Luke chapter 21 tells us that we should pray that we would be accounted worthy to escape these things that are coming upon this earth. We are not appointed unto wrath, but unto salvation, but we must walk in his will, to do his will.

[00:56:06]That's what this life is about. I've heard people say, "What is the meaning of all this? Why would God let us be born and live and die and lose all the things that we've accumulated in this life?"

[00:56:20]It's a simple answer, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:56:23]He wants you to find your way back to him. He wants you to make him the leader of your life. Do you not see that?

[00:56:33]You have to understand to call him Lord gives him a title. But to make him Lord promotes him to leader of life.

[00:56:44]He wants you to put him before everything else.

[00:56:49]It's that simple.

[00:56:52]because anything else is idolatry.

[00:56:56]I want you to ask yourself a question.

[00:56:58]Is there anything in my life that I focus on more than God?

[00:57:03]That's a that's a hard question.

[00:57:06]A lot of us focus on social media more than we focus on God. Is there anything in my life that I look at more than I look at the word of God?

[00:57:16]It's very easy to fall into idolatry.

[00:57:18]The Bible says, "Beware of covetousness, for it is idolatry, anything that you put before God, whether it's people, whether it's possessions."

[00:57:28]There's a reason why he said it's easier for the camel to enter into the eye of the needle than for the rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.

[00:57:38]It's a it's a a comparison to when back in the biblical days, the needle was the gate to the city. It was a small opening. It was a security feature for the city. And when somebody came with a lot of possessions, they had him on a camel and they had to unload the camel and get the camel down on his knees and crawl him through that the eye of that needle. And then they had to pack all the possessions through the gate, right?

[00:58:05]Through that needle and load him back onto the camel.

[00:58:09]Jesus said it'll be easier for that camel to go through the eye of that needle for that than for that rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.

[00:58:17]Because look at what happened to the the rich young ruler. He said, "Well, I've got all these things. I've got land and servants and I'm rich, but I want what you're talking about. I want to live forever." And Jesus told him, "Sell all that you have and give it to the poor and follow me." And it says that the rich young ruler walked away sorrowful in his heart. Right? He he said, "Man, I can't let all this stuff go."

[00:58:43]We've talked about this. The Bible says that we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain that we shall carry nothing out of it.

[00:58:52]Put God first before everything in your life. The Bible says, "Seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." Guys, I hope that this message has touched your heart in a way that you will see that we can no longer play games with God. We're not playing church. This is serious.

[00:59:16]It's about your eternal soul. I'm telling you this because I love you and I care about what happens to you. If you're walking in sin today and you don't know how to let it go. If you've got a stronghold in your life, the Bible tells us that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.

[00:59:39]Ladies and gentlemen, the power of prayer is real. That's why the Bible says, "Pray without ceasing." The fervent effectual prayer of a righteous man avaleth much.

[00:59:52]I spend a lot of time praying for you guys. Everybody that watches this podcast, myself and my family, we pray for you.

[01:00:00]We we labor in prayer to make intercession for you because I pray that these words would go forth into your life and and bring forth fruit out of it. that it would turn you from the things that separate you from God and brings you into repentance so that you also can come with us to the kingdom of heaven.

[01:00:22]Guys, I want to take a minute to pray for you.

[01:00:26]Before I do, I I want to I want to give a special thanks to everybody who's taken time to send support for the House of Prayer. For everybody who's praying for this ministry, who's been on the website and and and bought these t-shirts. Um I we get so many new subscribers every week. I'm so thankful for you for for logging in and subscribing to this channel. It means so much to me that God is increasing this ministry and that he's allowing other people to come and be laborers into this harvest. If you don't know about the house of prayer, we have a distillery here in Lewisburg, Kentucky that I built during my time on the Moonshiner show on the Discovery Channel from my family history. And through all of these things that I walked through, I promised the Lord that I would use my platform to spread the gospel because he had spared my life. He he he never left me. He gave me an opportunity to to walk towards him instead of leaving me in that pit of hell that I was living in.

[01:01:32]So I began to use my platform to do the work of an evangelist. And through this, the Lord has led me to close this distillery down and turn it into a house of prayer. Ladies and gentlemen, this house of prayer is not going to be like any other church organization you've seen. It is going to be a house of prayer in accordance to God's will.

[01:01:53]Jesus said, "My house will be called a house of prayer, but you have turned it into a den of thieves." It is a place that will not just be open one day a week, but every day a week. a place where prayer warriors can gather together in the name of Jesus Christ and make intercession for the body of Christ for the saints who are persecuted and for God to set his hand against the evil that is coming upon this place. I will be delivering messages here. We will be baptizing people in the name of Jesus Christ and the father, the son, Jesus and the holy spirit. It will be a place where people can come and be delivered from demonic oppression and possession and affliction. Where the captives can be set free, where you can know that we can stand together in agreement in accordance with God's will and do something that is pleasing in his sight.

[01:02:44]My goal with this house of prayer is that men and women of God would come from all over the world and that we could shine a beacon of light so bright from here in Kentucky that the angels in heaven would take notice of what God is doing here in this moment. If you would like to know how you can become a part of the house of prayer, go to our website tylerwoodcounter.com.

[01:03:12]You can see information there. We are very close to beginning to work on building out this house of prayer. As I've said, we are moving out this equipment. We've had to take some time to work with brokers to get all of this equipment out of the building. We're about to break ground on making a parking lot outside of this facility.

[01:03:33]But I'm also going to be adding on to the building. I've been praying that the Lord would send laborers into this harvest to help me make this possible.

[01:03:42]He's already sent some people that are sending support and I am so grateful for your support, for your love, for your prayers. I want you to know that I am going to fulfill this thing that God has placed on my life to the best of my ability with all of my heart so that it can be a sanctuary for all who would come who are tired of dead vain religion who are looking for the presence of the Holy Spirit of the living God who want to be in a true house of prayer. Ladies and gentlemen, I know I've said this so many times and I'm not trying to sound like a broken record and I I I I don't want you guys to have to hear me say this over and over, but as I said, we get these new subscribers. We have these t-shirts on the website. They are next level 100% cotton quality t-shirts.

[01:04:33]They're the best quality t-shirts I could find. We have several different designs. You'll see them there on the screen. Thank you so much to everybody who's taken time to order these shirts.

[01:04:42]They they help what we do here at the Tyler Wood Encounter and the House of Prayer. I wanted to also make these shirts so that you could walk in boldness. Ladies and gentlemen, there are people out there that don't get to read the word of God or maybe they choose not to. And if they see you walking in boldness with the living word of God written on your shirt, they're going to get to read and receive that bread of life that you wear in their sight. and it could be an opportunity for you to be a witness for them. So, thank you. If you want to check out these shirts, they're also on our website, tylerwoodcounter.com.

[01:05:19]So, I want to take a minute to to pray for you for the days ahead, for the things that you're dealing with. I ask that you would stand in agreement with me in prayer when I pray for these people in the comments, the people who have sent messages in to the emails to the the the comments on the the Spotify channel, on the YouTube channel. Guys, I need help praying for these people. It is it is a weight. It is a burden that I carry to pray for all of these people.

[01:05:48]And I need you to stand in agreement with me and pray for these people. And I got to tell you something. I feel the prayers that you guys send up on my behalf. It blesses my soul. Every Friday when I post these podcasts, I can feel your prayers and sometimes I sit and I weep and I and it's not a bad thing. I'm so grateful. Thank you so much for your prayers. I've never experienced this in my life or had this many people praying for me. And I want you to know that I pray for you with all of my heart and you're blessing my soul. Please keep praying for me. I'm so thankful for you.

[01:06:27]But again, when we pray for these people, when you see people in the comments, help me labor in this prayer and pray for these people. Get in there and let them know that you're praying for them. the Lord that might be your gift that the Lord is calling you to be an intercessor for these people that are involved in this ministry because I believe that what is happening here is a mighty move of God and with the House of Prayer and with this Tylerwood Encounter podcast, we are about to see revival that is going to break out here when people begin to gather here with one accord, with no other reason, not for vain dead religion.

[01:07:07]but to see a move of God. So as we pray, stand in agreement with me because Jesus said, "If two of you will agree, touching anything on the earth, it will be done for you by my father in heaven.

[01:07:23]If we have two, it's enough." Imagine what we could do with two million standing in agreement with the Lord Jesus Christ, with the power and authority of the Holy Spirit of the living God. So, Father, I come to you today in the mighty name of Jesus to give you thanks, honor, and glory for never leaving us nor forsaking us, for for giving us that final call. No matter how far we walked away from you, Lord, you were always there. You told us in your word, "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. All we have to do is turn and walk towards you." Father, I thank you for never giving up on me. I thank you for each and every person that you have sent to listen to this podcast who's taken the time to hear these words that you've placed on my heart. Lord, I give you the glory for all of these things. It's not of my own. Father, I don't want anybody thinking that I'm trying to get any glory through this. Lord, I give you the glory. Jesus, I thank you for for using somebody like me to reach these people, to touch their lives, to speak the word of life over their homes, over their families, for these people who are leaving testimonies. Father, I give you the glory and I thank you. I pray for your hedge of protection around these people.

[01:08:51]I pray that you would give them eyes to see and ears to hear in the days ahead.

[01:08:55]Lord, that you would make each and every one of them a beacon of light and a fisher of men and a city that is set upon a hill that cannot be hid. Lord, give them the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. Lord, that will keep their hearts and minds in you, Christ Jesus. We love you with all of our heart, Lord. And I just pray that no matter what may come, you will use us until the very end to help others to come to know the gospel of Jesus Christ. Father, Lord, I pray for these countries that are involved in these conflicts, these civilian areas that have been bombed, these persecuted saints around the world. Lord, your word says that if one member of the body suffers, we all suffer. And if one member rejoices, we all rejoice. And we ask that you would give us that cup in either direction that we would be able to carry some of that weight for these people who are persecuted for righteousness sake. For those members of the body who suffer, we suffer with them. For those members of the body who rejoice, Lord, we we rejoice with them, Lord. But we pray that you would would use us in these things as we humbly submit ourselves to you, Father. We know that you resist the proud and give grace to the humble. And we pray that you would just let us be humble in your sight.

[01:10:21]Let us be found faithful and not wanting on the day of your return. Lord, cleanse us of all unrighteousness as we seek your will for our life. We pray that you would reveal to us the gifts and the callings that you have placed on our lives that we may bring forth fruit for your kingdom and our season so that when we stand before your judgment at the gates of heaven, we would be accounted worthy to enter in and to dwell in your house for eternity.

[01:10:58]Father, I pray that you'd bless all these people who have asked for prayer.

[01:11:02]Lord, we we stand in agreement that you would help these people out of this pit of despair.

[01:11:08]Write these scriptures on the tables of their heart. Bring conviction into their lives if necessary. Lord, no matter what, we just pray that they would find salvation in Jesus before it's too late.

[01:11:21]All of those who are walking in addiction and who are afflicted by demons. Lord, we pray for deliverance for these people. Lord, we love you today. We thank you for this opportunity to serve you. And we just say, "Holy, holy, holy are you, Lord God, who is and was and is to come." And no matter how dark things get, we say, "Even so, Lord Jesus, come quickly."

[01:11:47]Father, we give you the glory today, the honor, and the praise. And we love you with all of our heart. We pray that you would fill us and anoint us with your Holy Spirit in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

[01:12:25]Again, thank you with all of my heart. I can't wait to see some of you guys at the house of prayer. Hopefully all of you. I don't care if we can't get everybody in the building. It is going to be a blessing from God when we come together to praise and worship the name of Jesus Christ together. Ladies and gentlemen, this has been the Tyler Wood encounter.
