Faithful to God

| So I think, going back to your question, I think a lot of times in churches, they are so careful not to offend anyone. | |
| And that's, in reality, what I think, if they would preach under an anointing, there's always going to be people that don't like it. | |
| But God always replaces people who leave you with other people because you're faithful to him. | |
| Yes. | |
| And that's the key. | |
| If you'll be faithful to God, God's going to be faithful to you. | |
| And I've learned it's just like with Jesus' ministry. | |
| One day, Jesus, Jesus, he's the hero. | |
| Next minute, crucify, crucify. | |
| You know, one minute you're the hero. | |
| Next day, they're trying to put you on a cross. | |
| But I think that's it. | |
| I think it's the debt issue. | |
| But these are the times we're living in that people, you just said it. | |
| I like. | |
| I want to hear those statistics. | |
| You said that women, young people, children are more interested in the prophetic than anybody. | |
| And I seem to find that true myself. | |
| I mean, I'm so interested in it. | |
| I'm so into it. | |
| I want to know everything. | |
| I think four years ago to five, we didn't see it. | |
| But what happened is the teaching got out, and then people would begin to do like you do, begin to see things in the spirit. | |
| I would see it. | |
| It would happen. | |
| So they're saying, maybe we need to pay attention. | |
| Maybe we need to pay attention to this guy. | |
| And I know in the Baptist churches, they love prophecy more than any other group. | |
| The Catholics now who begin to watch Christian TV are very much into the prophetic. | |
| And here's the reason prophecy is so important: it proves the Bible is true. | |
| It proves that Jesus, the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy in the book of Revelation. | |
| So when you begin to talk about it and then you begin to show people, here's the evidence, it's specific, here's the Greek and Hebrew word. | |
| Here's what's it's like, oh, wow, man. | |
| Hey, that's pretty cool. | |
| Then they want to study it more to discover because can I tell you all something after 41 years of preaching, writing since I was 18 years of age, I can tell you that even though God has blessed me, I say God's blessed me, I guess the Lord just put up with me doing it. | |
| But I have about 170,000 hours of study, and people don't believe that, but that's those two guys right there, what I do all day from the time I get, time I leave, I'm in an office. | |
| I don't even know that I've gone to lunch with them one time at lunchtime. | |
| I'm in there studying. | |
| And I'll just say, give me something to eat. | |
| So my point is that in all of this that you do, it doesn't, understanding prophecy doesn't just come because, hey, I think I'm going to understand. | |
| Oh, God, that's good. | |
| You've got to know what he said. | |
| But what's exciting is that people then pay attention when God begins to do something. | |
