Jim Bakker Show - This is What Happens When Man Forsakes God | Richard Pearson on The Jim Bakker Show Aired: 2022-04-26 Duration: 03:40 === America's Covenant Breaking (03:39) === [00:00:00] America's youth has gone wild more than ever. [00:00:03] You talk about the hour that changes everything. [00:00:06] We're leading up to that hour and we're watching Matthew 24 play out. [00:00:12] Yet, God is bringing ministries like ours to be his hands extended in this hour, and that's where you come in. [00:00:19] That's where Houston is back with us today. [00:00:22] Richard, I wanted to ask you what Mondo's saying. [00:00:27] Can you add anything to that in your own thoughts? [00:00:31] Because it sounds like your book that these kids are going crazy. [00:00:36] They're having to have the people I know down in Miami, they've had to put a curfew on the town. [00:00:44] And they don't want to do that, but they had to because they're just tearing things up. [00:00:49] Jim, I think this is what is happening in the end times when man forsakes God. [00:00:55] This is what happens. [00:00:57] When you don't stay under covenant rule of God's word, anything is possible. [00:01:04] And it says in James 4, it says, from whence come wars and fightings among you, come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members. [00:01:14] You lust and have not. [00:01:15] You kill and desire to have and cannot obtain. [00:01:19] You fight in war and ye have not because you ask not and you receive not because you ask amiss that you may consume it upon your lusts. [00:01:29] So we have a spirit realm right now that is being manifest through flesh and blood, and the devil comes to kill, steal, and destroy. [00:01:39] And this is what we're watching. [00:01:40] This is part of the global darkness that's coming on the planet, and it's here in America. [00:01:47] The enemies are not coming to America. [00:01:50] The enemies are here. [00:01:51] And so we're seeing it all around. [00:01:54] And this is the beginning of sorrows or the tribulation, as Jesus said in Matthew 24. [00:02:00] This is the beginning. [00:02:02] This is when God hands the planet over to darkness because they've rejected him. [00:02:08] I've wondered what in the world is going on with America turning so far to the left, going extreme like never before. [00:02:21] And I knew there had to be more scripture about this. [00:02:26] So we have been discussing the war in Ukraine for the last month as well as Matthew 24. [00:02:34] Are you familiar with Matthew 24? [00:02:36] Yes, I am. [00:02:37] I'm a one-string fiddle when it comes to Matthew 24. [00:02:40] I stay there a lot. [00:02:42] Do you think this has anything to do with America's role in Bible prophecy? [00:02:46] Yes. [00:02:47] And Matthew 24 is just about exploding on it. [00:02:53] Well, many of us teach, and I believe you would agree with this, that America is a covenant nation. [00:03:00] America was raised up by God, and she was placed here for a reason. [00:03:04] Since World War II, America has placed her military around the world, and she has been a policeman of the world. [00:03:14] She was in covenant. [00:03:15] That was her purpose, to hold evil down. [00:03:18] But we're seeing evil rise up now, but there's no fear of America. [00:03:24] And that's because America is in a position where we're no longer in covenant with God. [00:03:30] We have broken our covenant. [00:03:32] That's it. [00:03:33] Yes, we have broken our covenant. [00:03:34] That's a piece of this puzzle that everybody out there is saying, what has gone wrong? [00:03:39] What is happening?
