=== Restoration Winds Eye (03:02) ===

[00:00:00]  Um, you said that God is raising up a Joel II army.
[00:00:03]  What do you mean by that?
[00:00:06]  Well, in the second chapter of Joel, in particular, after the succession of the book of Joel, it begins with kind of like a rude awakening.
[00:00:15]  The land is laid waste.
[00:00:18]  People are made aware of just how wicked it got, and through that came repentance.
[00:00:23]  So there was a revealing, and then there was repentance, then there was restoration.
[00:00:28]  There was a time of rest toration.
[00:00:30]  Rest is in there.
[00:00:32]  It's kind of like seed time and harvest.
[00:00:35]  People want to plant a seed and they want to harvest, but they forget there's time in between.
[00:00:40]  And so there's the restoration, and that's a time of rest.
[00:00:44]  And we are in the eye of the hurricane right now.
[00:00:48]  We've already gone through the first wall of the hurricane.
[00:00:51]  It's interesting.
[00:00:52]  You keep alluding to the hurricane season we're coming into.
[00:00:57]  But just like the hurricane, there's an eye of the hurricane.
[00:01:00]  You go through the first wall, and then there's that quiet calm.
[00:01:04]  And that's where we are prophetically.
[00:01:06]  And in that time of rest, there's going to be restoration, a regaining of strength.
[00:01:12]  This is where Jim is.
[00:01:13]  This is where this ministry is.
[00:01:15]  It's scary because there's been a holdup of finances for you all.
[00:01:20]  And even in with Christians that aren't working right now, this is shut things down.
[00:01:26]  But there's, but there's a time of rest.
[00:01:28]  God calls us to rest from our own works and our striving to try and figure out and make things happen.
[00:01:34]  But then out of that restoration comes revival.
[00:01:38]  And so where we are right now is the restoration going into revival.
[00:01:44]  And that's the encouraging part of this.
[00:01:47]  And then after in Joel 2, at the end of Joel, and on Joel 2, that's when the Spirit of God is poured out.
[00:01:54]  And that's the revival we're coming into.
[00:01:57]  And after that, you go into the rest of Joel, and that's really Armageddon.
[00:02:03]  It talks about, you know, that's where the end.
[00:02:06]  So that's where we are.
[00:02:07]  We are so close to this thing wrapping up.
[00:02:10]  And that's the good news: you know, if you're living for this world, you're not going to take this as good news.
[00:02:17]  We are not living here.
[00:02:19]  We're just passing through.
[00:02:21]  It's exciting to be living in the time, right?
[00:02:25]  Right.
[00:02:25]  And so, you know, I have so much on my heart for you all in this ministry, but those watching, God is at work.
[00:02:34]  It might look dark.
[00:02:36]  And in Isaiah 60, it says, Arise, shine, for thy light is come, for gross darkness shall cover the earth.
[00:02:43]  But the kings, the Gentiles, shall come to your light and to your arising.

=== Forget the World (00:19) ===

[00:02:49]  And I just want to really, I want to stress as Brother Wilkerson, you know, he was so misunderstood as a man of doom and gloom.
[00:02:58]  And I saw, I saw the hurt.
[00:03:01]  I saw from the body of Christ.
[00:03:03]  Forget the world, you know, it was the body like Jim that hurt.
