Crucible Season Countdown
00:05:57
|
|
| You believe that the church is going to do good things, going to do even with all this warfare. | |
| They're wanting to kill the church. | |
| They hate the church. | |
| I've never seen, he said you would be hated for his namesake. | |
| But you're saying it's time to do more, not less. | |
| Yeah, I think it's that at this moment, you know, the prophetic time table is, you know, clicking, you know what I mean? | |
| And definitely we're in a countdown. | |
| But the point is, this is the greatest day for the church to shine that we have ever known in, you know, modern day history at least. | |
| And I think that Satan wants to cause us to stop and move back. | |
| So the heavens are real violent. | |
| I mean, we could just say, oh my goodness, there's so much warfare in the heavens. | |
| But as a prophet, I don't prophesy what is there. | |
| I prophesy from heaven down. | |
| In other words, we have the power. | |
| We have the authority. | |
| We have the solutions. | |
| We are feeling this crucible. | |
| That's one of the words of the Lord God gave me is we're in a crucible season. | |
| And the fire is very, very hot right now. | |
| I mean, it's like, but we have to understand the Bible talks about when we're persecuted, when these tough times come, that what's going to happen is it's going to burn up the wood, hay, and stubble in our life. | |
| Those things where we need to refocus. | |
| God will cause us to focus. | |
| It's like in a whirlwind when things are swirling and swirling and swirling. | |
| What happens is things get taken up. | |
| But it's up to us to say how it's going to be put down. | |
| And so this is very critical. | |
| And I just want to say, Jim, I know you're in a crucible. | |
| You know, we were talking before we came out. | |
| Summer's been tough and a season where finances have been super tight for the ministry. | |
| But I want to say to you, you're going to come out of this as pure gold. | |
| You're not going to go off television. | |
| God is going to bring in the funds. | |
| And if you'd allow me just a second, I want to say to the viewers, look, if you have watched Jim Baker for years and you have never given anything and you have been eating of the fruit of this show over and over and again, you need to give. | |
| You need to give something to it. | |
| I mean, wouldn't it be terrible if you turned on the television one day and there was no Jim Baker show? | |
| Okay, because there was no PTL. | |
| I mean, because why? | |
| Because people that eat the fruit of it never come back to say thank you. | |
| And I think that's really important that we do that. | |
| I think we should clap our hands about that. | |
| That's an accurate thing. | |
| That is an exciting. | |
| That's an accurate. | |
| But I want to say this to you. | |
| Many of you are in the crucible right now, and the fire is so hot. | |
| There is a lot of spiritual warfare, but it's up to you to take the word of God and determine the course of your life. | |
| All right? | |
| This is a test. | |
| I want you to pass this test. | |
| You know, there's things Satan's doing, but there's things God's doing. | |
| Because some of you are just on the verge of promotion. | |
| It's like you, Jim and Lori, and Ricky and Mondo. | |
| I mean, this show is just on the verge of the greatest season. | |
| And this ministry is on the greatest season you have ever, ever been in. | |
| But yet, the enemy is putting the fire. | |
| Why is he putting the fire? | |
| To discourage your soul, right? | |
| So you'll get so down. | |
| But the word of the Lord says the only things that will be burned up are the wood, hay, and stubble. | |
| Those things that are ancillary, those things that maybe you say that wasn't the important thing, or our attitudes that need readjustment. | |
| You know, we need attitude corrections. | |
| And so don't listen to what the accuser is saying. | |
| The accuser is saying you're going to lose it. | |
| You're going down. | |
| Everything's going to be gone. | |
| Your life is over. | |
| You're getting old. | |
| You know, getting kind of creaky. | |
| Or whatever it is, you know, whatever that is. | |
| But if you listen to that, you know, what you're saying might be accurate. | |
| You see, but what you're doing is prophesying what Satan says and not what God says about your life. | |
| I mean, God says that we will live a supernatural, abundant life. | |
| God says we're overcomers. | |
| God says we're going to triumph. | |
| And so I just want to say that this crucible season, this fiery season, is also a test because many are called and few chosen. | |
| Who is God going to use for this great end time harvest? | |
| Who is God going to use to provide for people when they don't have? | |
| Who's going to help stop poverty? | |
| Who's going to do these things? | |
| Well, I say me. | |
| And I say you, and I say it's going to be you. | |
| But what's going to happen? | |
| You know, don't say what the devil says. | |
| You look at that situation in your life, you begin to decree over it. | |
| You begin to say the truth because Satan moves on fear and God moves on faith. | |
| And if there's anybody on the planet that has faith, you have a very good track record, Jim Baker. | |
| He sure does. | |
| He sure does. | |
| And you do too, Lori. | |
| And the rest of the game. | |
