The Shemitah Has Ended...What is God Doing Now?

Time Text
September's Pot 00:04:25
John, what do you see that's happening?
What is God doing right now?
I wrote you a letter a week or so ago.
Yes.
And in that letter, I said, I believe that God has held off the big event that would trigger multiple events for two reasons.
I says, number one, and I'll tell you, this was confirmed to me from some of the prophets and words of, you know what I mean, words from the prophets.
But that two things, there were two reasons that we could seek from this delay.
And one big reason is that a lot of God's people are not ready.
And God is, in his grace, is giving us more time.
You see, I actually looked at from September, because, you know, the Bible says to watch for these signs.
I do not want you to be caught unaware.
I will not do anything unless I warn you through the prophets.
Well, God's prophets have been speaking.
The signs have been speaking.
And just because nothing happened, are you telling me that God just canceled his return?
You know, I mean, that is absolutely ridiculous.
And I had looked at September as a pot.
He's not a feeble God, by the way.
And you don't make fun of his signs and wonders.
Exactly.
And I had looked at six months.
You know, I'm mid-trib, and my timeline, you know, my timeline didn't come and go on September 13th.
My timeline is that the Great Tribulation will start in March of 2016, and there's more than enough time for everything to fall together between now and March.
I had looked at September to March as ever-increasing birth pains, intensifying over a six-month period, and that we would see a slow burn collapse of our economy over a four or five-month period.
That was confirmed by Mina when the angel showed her a calendar for an economic collapse with the black horse running over four calendar months, September, October, November, December.
And like I say, God confirmed through his prophets.
So when nothing happened September 13th or September 23rd, well, you know what?
Things are happening.
You can't say nothing happened.
But we didn't see the New Madrid fault split the country in two.
We didn't see the Northwest and California fall into the ocean.
If those events would have happened, it would not be a slow burn collapse.
America would have been toast in days.
Praise God that nothing like that happened.
But what I see happening is God is shortening the birth pains.
Instead of six months, if we're lucky, maybe it'll only be three or four months.
But I ended up getting a word from the Lord that was sent to me, and I'll read part of that in a moment.
But in that word, it says, the Lord says, my timetable has not changed.
But God is allowing other people to come on board to get ready.
And I'll tell you, I would much rather see three or four months of intensifying birth pains than to see six months.
Because let me tell you, if we were to get hit like a hammer in September, I wouldn't be sitting here explaining to you and telling you you need to finish getting ready because it would probably have been too late to get ready.
He talks about coming unaware, that people aren't going to be aware.
They're not looking.
And that's, that's, You mentioned something to me the other day that you felt like God was literally at this time allowing people to show themselves.
Exactly.
That's the number two.
You know what I mean?
Following For The Right Reasons 00:01:59
I see that this slight delay, we don't know if it's days or a few weeks, maybe a couple of months.
We don't know how long it is, but this delay is allowing us more time to get ready.
And it's also identifying.
the scoffers.
It's identifying what are the people that are, you know, there's a lot of people that have been following this ministry.
And I'll tell you, it kind of reminds me of the story in the New Testament when Jesus did the miracle of the 5,000, fed the 5,000 with a few loaves and fishes.
And his crowd just continued to grow.
And Jesus finally called them on the carpet and he says, you guys, you're only following me for a meal ticket.
You're not getting serious with God.
You're just interested in filling your belly.
Well, Jesus said, when Jesus said this, they bowed their heads and most of them walked away and he turned to his disciples.
He says, will you leave me also?
And his disciples says, you're the only one with the words of eternal life.
Well, I'll tell you, that's what it's all about.
Are we following the God that will give us eternal life and save our soul?
Or are we following God because we want to have a full belly?
And when things didn't happen when we thought they should happen, and you hear all of these complainers, those are the scoffers.
God's helping us to see what our group and what the people around us, what are they really looking for?
A lot of people, Jim, have been buying your food because they don't want to go hungry.
But their relationship with God is not where it should be.
That's right.
That's scary.
Because the main thing is we want to be right with God.
We want to go to heaven.
No matter what happens, then you're going to be with the Lord.
Well, you know, I have said this numerous times.
Our reason for getting through a period of tribulation is not so that we can just survive until the rapture.
