Jim Bakker Show - Understanding The Plan God Has For Us - Bobby Conner on The Jim Bakker Show Aired: 2018-05-01 Duration: 03:11 === The Signs of the Coming Lord (03:05) === [00:00:00] What do you feel about being prepared? [00:00:06] And yet, it's going to be magnificent to be with God. [00:00:12] It's going to be magnificent to see him work, and we're going to see perilous times. [00:00:16] The Bible says, times such as never was. [00:00:20] But yet, you're saying, just like God has spoken to me, that these are the signs, and that's why I just look for the signs. [00:00:29] I'm a watchman on the wall looking for the signs of the coming of the Lord, and he's coming soon. [00:00:35] If you want to know the signs of the times, read Matthew 24. [00:00:40] You'll see them, and you can pick up Matthew 24 and pick up the local news, and you'll go, oh my, they're parallel, aren't they? [00:00:47] Yes. [00:00:48] And I'm telling you guys, it's not a time to go, oh, you know, people go, oh, what's coming? [00:00:53] What's coming? [00:00:54] No, it's who's coming. [00:00:55] It's not what's coming. [00:00:56] It's who's coming. [00:00:57] It says, when you see all these things taking place, lift up your eyes. [00:01:00] Your redemption draws near. [00:01:02] And I'm telling you guys, God's going to come to us before he comes for us. [00:01:06] He's going to find him people that can take over this planet. [00:01:08] God is not schizophrenic. [00:01:10] He doesn't have a plethora of plans. [00:01:12] His number one plan is, I'm getting louder and louder. [00:01:16] Genesis 1.26. [00:01:18] Genesis 1.26 says, let us create man and let's give him kingdom control. [00:01:24] And God has not vacillated one iota. [00:01:26] God is looking for people he can give kingdom authority to. [00:01:30] Isn't it 2 Chronicles 16, 9? [00:01:32] It said, the eyes of the Lord are roving to and fro throughout this whole earth. [00:01:37] Let's ask him, what are you looking for, God? [00:01:39] He said, I'm looking for a people that have no agenda, no personal plans, no plots but mine. [00:01:45] He said, when I find them, I'll fully support all they put their hands to do. [00:01:50] You and I, as a people of God, should be praying Psalms 90, 16 and 17. [00:01:55] Oh, Lord, let the displays of your signs and miracle power be seen by us and establish the works of our hands. [00:02:04] We need that, don't we? [00:02:05] Yes, we need that. [00:02:06] I'm tired of seeing what the mind of man can do. [00:02:08] Listen, we need to see an invasion of the Holy Spirit. [00:02:12] See, Jesus said, without Holy Spirit, John 15, 5, we can't do anything. [00:02:17] But with Holy Spirit, through Holy Spirit, by Holy Spirit, we can accomplish all things. [00:02:21] Isn't it Philippians 4, 13? [00:02:23] It is Christ who infuses me with inner strength. [00:02:26] I am qualified and equipped for anything that comes my way. [00:02:30] Boy, I'm telling you, if we'll get into the Word of God, the Bible said there's a famine in the land. [00:02:35] Not a famine for food, but a famine for hearing the word of God. [00:02:39] And people say, well, Bobby, I'm so busy, I don't have time. [00:02:42] We don't have time not to study. [00:02:44] Study to show yourself approved. [00:02:46] It's the only weapon we have, taking the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. === Redeem The Time (00:20) === [00:02:50] My people are perishing for a lack of what? [00:02:52] Knowledge. [00:02:53] We've got to get into the Word of God and let the Word of God get into us. [00:02:57] Beloved, it's imperative we redeem these days. [00:03:00] Ephesians 5, 14, 18 says, we've got to redeem the time. [00:03:04] Make best use of every moment. [00:03:06] We can't look back and say we squandered this opportunity. [00:03:09] This is the time for harvest.
