Chaos Breaks Out Worldwide
00:02:20

|
| Now, we see chaos has started to break out worldwide. | |
| How do we pray against the spirit of lawlessness that we are seeing in our nation? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Well, Jesus said that because of the iniquity or lawlessness, the love of many would wax cold. | |
| And so there has just been a, you know, since that same period, think about back to the 60s. | |
| What was going on in America? | |
| Rebellion against the establishment, rebellion against society. | |
| You know, you think of the Vietnam War and the burning the American flags, the disrespect towards our soldiers. | |
| Something began around that time period that instilled a resistance and a disrespect to authority and the way things have been in the sense of morality and natural affinity and marriage and all of these things, respect for authority. | |
| And it seems like there has just, as I shared yesterday, I think in the program, 2020, the Lord allowed for a season this principality of extremism and all of these radical ideologies that we're seeing played out in education, in media and arts and entertainment in Hollywood. | |
| What we're seeing playing out with these polarization of this radicalization and education and entertainment and not just that, but in racism and ethnicity against ethnicity. | |
| Ethnos is the word where it says nation will rise against nation in Matthew 24. | |
| So we are seeing the extremes, even in our own nation. | |
| Let me just say, I'll finish with this part. | |
| Republican and Democrat, right? | |
| Neither party is perfect. | |
| But there used to be, whether you was Republican or Democrat, just basically depended on how you spent the money, how they, you know, which party prioritized how the money was spent. | |
|
Radical Division Revealed

|
|
| One party maybe just believed in a little less spending and one party believed in a little bit more. | |
| Now, there is such a radical division that it's no longer just about how you spend the money. | |
| It's about what your definition of what a male or a female is. | |
| Whether you believe in Judeo-Christian values or you're totally secular. | |
| I mean, the polars have been released and that's got something to do. | |
| And let me just say, let me say this too. | |
| I think that this principality of extremism, and we'll see it in radical Islam as well. | |
| It has been released since 2020. | |
| And the Lord is going to allow it to bring this thing to a culminative head. | |
| And that's where ultimately light will prevail against darkness. | |
| But it's going to be a rough road in between now and then. | |
| But we will overcome and prevail as long as we stay in that secret place connected with the Lord and the body of Christ. | |
| Pastor Chris, we see churches closing their ears to this, though. | |
| How do we prepare the church for these difficult times? | |
| Well, the Apostle Paul predicted this. | |
| He said evil men and seducers will wax worse and worse. | |
| And he said that even in those days, they would receive not a love of the truth and that they would be turned over to a reprobate mind to believe a lie and be damned. | |
| And that they would heap unto themselves teachers having itching ears and to tell them what they want to hear. | |
| And here's the problem. | |
| In America for so long, There's been such this, we've conflated Christianity with the American dream. | |
| Now, please don't misunderstand me. | |
| I'm an American. | |
| I love America. | |
| I believe in capitalism, free markets, but some of the gospel, the modern American gospel, has been conflated with the American dream. | |
| In other words, we've believed and been told: don't accept a message unless it prospers you or unless it makes your life better or unless everything goes your way. | |
| And if there's a message of judgment or a warning of impending judgment, God's not into that. | |
| That's the Old Testament God. | |
| We hear these kind of themes being propagated in a lot of Christianity that has gotten so far out of balance that they only will tell the people what brings in money. | |
| And this is why, you know, we support Pastor Jim and Lori and the PTL network. | |
| And we love and value you guys because you're not compromising. | |
| And we need solid voices that will stand together, not alone, but together, and say, we cannot back up. | |
| We can't give another inch. | |
| We've got to stand on the truth of God's word, whether we lose people or not. | |
| The fact is, is there's just not everybody's going to receive the love for the truth. | |
| We've got to find that seed of God in the earth that's looking for the truth. | |
| And they're looking, they're a child of God, right? | |
| They are, not that God determines whether we go to heaven or hell, but God has chosen them and they haven't responded yet. | |
| We've got to find the sheep instead of trying to convert the goats. | |
| That's a good word. | |
| Lori, and my mission is to fulfill the great commission of Jesus Christ to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every person. | |
| I want to thank you for standing with us and for your support. | |
