Living In Good Hope Spiritually 00:14:51
Hello and welcome to the Jim Baker Family Show coming to you from the village of Morningside, USA, snuggled in the beautiful Ozark Mountains.
Today our special guests are co-founder of Generals International, prophet, speaker, teacher, and author, Cindy Jacobs and co-founder of Generals International and co-host of Prophetic Dateline, my Jacobs.
Our co-hosts today are Maricella Woodall and Mondo Dele Vega.
And now, live from Gray Street at Morningside, USA, here's your host, Ricky Baker.
Hello, you're watching Jim Baker's PTL Television Network.
It's an honor that you chose to tune in with us today.
Today is the day that the Lord has made, friend.
If you have woken up this morning, you have a purpose, you have a calling, and there is something that God wants to do with your life.
And if you're watching this and you're saying, hey, you know what?
I just tuned into this show.
I don't know what it's all about.
It's all about Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
Friend, that is the only thing that matters in this times we live in.
I truly believe we are living in some of the end of the end times.
We're about to see King Jesus return.
What a glorious day that's going to be, friend, when we get to look up and witness our King, our Savior, our Lover, the one who comforts us in our time of need, coming down to bring us into eternity with him.
Friend, that can be yours.
All you have to do is say yes to the good gift that has been given you.
That is the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made on the cross so that you and I can be co-heirs.
So we can sit in eternity basking in his presence.
And what a beautiful thing that's going to be, Mondo.
I want to thank you.
Come on, you're a faithful man.
Thank you for being here.
I love what Rick Joyner always says.
This is the day that the Lord has made, so don't mess it up.
So don't mess it up.
Hey, you know what?
And the best way to do that is say yes to the Holy Spirit.
Wake up every day.
You know, that was a prayer.
It was a conversation we had many, many months ago, but it was a prayer that I started implementing in the mornings before I grab my phone and start scrolling.
Before I start looking at emails, you know what?
The emails are going to be there.
The problems are going to be there.
The stresses are going to be there, friend.
Wake up in the morning and say to the Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, today is your day.
I simply want to say yes to whatever it is that you're prompting me to do.
If you tell me to go left, I'm going to go left.
If you tell me to stay straight, then I'm going to stay straight.
It is important and critical in the hour that we're living in that you're walking in the fullness of what the Holy Spirit has for you, friend.
Why?
Because that's where we find our true identity.
And that's the primary issue of our generation right now.
When I say generation, I'm not talking about one particular age group.
I'm talking about all inhabitants of the earth who are alive right now.
The number one issue is identity, Mondo.
In an eight-year-old and in an 88-year-old, people are losing sight of who they are.
And I believe there's two huge primary reasons why people sin, Mondo.
People say, well, how can you boil it down to two issues?
Well, it really is simple.
People don't know who they are.
They don't know that they can identify with Christ's holiness.
They don't know that they can identify with Christ's righteousness.
And they don't know how loved they are.
The problem is there's a corrupt version of love that has been spewed up by the world where they say, well, love is just accepting everybody and not telling anyone they have to turn from their wicked ways.
Love is just bringing everybody in and never saying, brother, you must turn from the lifestyle in which you're living and point yourself directly at the cross.
Mondo, people don't know who they are and they don't know how loved they are.
Listen, this is a scripture for you.
I pray that God, this is in Romans chapter 15.
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him.
Amen.
Then you will overflow.
I love that.
You will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
The identity and trusting, the overflowing understanding that we have our trust placed in the power of the Holy Spirit.
But you're absolutely right.
We have a generation on one hand doesn't know what they are, what they're supposed to be doing.
On the other hand, we see young people, old people, every kind of people rejoicing at the fact that the power of God is still moving in this nation.
And you know, we didn't even talk before the broadcast, but that scripture so lines up with what the Holy Spirit, I believe he told me to read this morning.
It's out of Deuteronomy.
If you have a Bible at home, I want you to open it up to the book of Deuteronomy.
If you have the U Version app on your phone, you can open it up there to the book of Deuteronomy, Deuteronomy chapter 30.
And Mondo, I want to just plug this real quick before I read this.
Mondo has a devotion series out on the U Version Bible app.
It's called Overcoming Obstacles with God.
So you can just look up Overcoming Obstacles with God.
Mondo, your picture is going to pop up, and you've been doing some devotional series that people can follow along, five-day devotional series.
You're absolutely right.
I think we have to be confident knowing that we can overcome.
We are overcomers.
That's right.
Man, all things are possible.
And this is what's possible through God.
Read this with me, friend.
It's Deuteronomy chapter 30.
I'm going to start in verse 3.
It says, Then he will restore your fortunes, have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord God has scattered you.
Even in your exiles are at the furthest horizon.
He will gather you and bring you back from there.
The Lord your God will bring you into the land your fathers possessed and you will take possession of it.
He will cause you to prosper and multiply more than you did your fathers.
The Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the hearts of your descendants and you will love him with all your heart and all your soul so that you will live, friend.
We understand in the context who he's talking to there, but believer, the Bible is so that we can glean out it.
He has the same thing for you, friend.
You may have people who have wandered off in your life.
You may have been wandering from the land you know the Lord God has called you to be in.
You may be saying, hey, God, I know you called me to the promised land, but I'm wandering in the desert right now.
He's calling you home, friend.
He's calling you back to the fullness of who you're supposed to be.
That doesn't mean life's always going to be easy.
That doesn't mean life is always going to be fair towards you, friend.
But you know what?
That means you're going to live a good life in the fullness of who God has called you to be.
Our brother Paul said it best, I have learned to live with much and I have learned to live with little.
You know, we tend to just pull the scriptures.
I can do all things through Christ, but we have to realize what he was saying before.
You know, he's learned to have a lot and he's learned to have little.
In all things, he realizes I can do all things through Christ.
It doesn't matter, friend, if you have a lot or if you have a little.
It is what you are doing with what God has given you.
You know, I believe that there is a promise that the Lord gives us.
There has been a twist of what people call a prosperity gospel where they say, well, God just wants me to name it and claim it.
God wants me to do X, Y, and Z. Friend, God wants you to have good things.
Good things doesn't always mean you're going to have grandeur things, expensive things.
But friend, a good thing for you might be that you have a one-bedroom home on land that you paid off, an acre so you can have a garden, friend.
Good things might be an apartment that you can live in with cover over your head, friend.
Good things might be a big house with a lot of land and a lot of animals.
Friend, good things can be found in different capacities.
You have to just simply realize this is what the Lord has given me, and I will call it good because he has called it good, Mondo.
We've seen a lot of people fray away from that, but the Lord hasn't called us to live in the slumps, in the dumps, not spiritually, brother.
He's called us to live in a good place with him.
So it doesn't matter if you're living in a home that costs $80,000, if you're living in a home that costs half a million dollars.
The Lord has put people right where they're supposed to be, and you are called to prosper spiritually, friend.
He wants you to live in good hope spiritually.
And you know what?
You may be in a community where you're saying, God, I've been praying out of this community for many years.
And he might be saying, well, friend, your neighbor to your left and your neighbor to your right isn't a believer yet.
It's not time for you to leave out of that community.
Start looking around you and saying, God, why have you placed me in this particular location?
Why have you set me in this geographical location?
Is it so that I can get involved in the school board and help make changes for the next generation of children?
Is it so that I can run for Senate or Congress or become a representative in my state?
What is it that you have called me to do here?
Or is it so that I can speak to my neighbor who doesn't know about Christ so that they can come into the fullness of who he's supposed to be?
Friend, God has a purpose for exactly where he's put you.
And I need you to understand that.
If you take nothing else from what I have just said, understand that you are exactly where you need to be with God.
God has placed you where you need to be if you're walking in the fullness of him.
And if you're not walking in the fullness of your calling, then friend, it's so easy to say, Holy Spirit, today's the day I'm resetting myself.
I am turning away from all the sin that I have indulged in.
I'm turning away from everything that is pushing me further away from you.
And I simply want to say yes to any calling that you have.
And I promise you, you can start walking in the fullness of what you have.
But Mondo, that is the primary purpose of the PTL television network.
We want to bring the information so that people realize, you know what, I am supposed to be walking in the fullness of what God has for me.
I'm not supposed to be living at a 95% capacity of what God has for me.
I'm supposed to be walking in everything that he has given me.
You know, the hardest thing about God is that when he calls you, he makes you wait.
It's a hard thing to do and a hard thing to really understand.
But when you look at the scripture, the Bible says the scriptures give you hope and encouragement as we, this is a godly word, write this down, as we wait patiently for God's promises to be fulfilled.
Amen, brother.
The one thing I've learned the last 26 years is to be patiently waiting on God's promises to be fulfilled.
Because I can tell you that if you get ahead of it, you might miscarriage the God's promises that he has for you.
That's a good word for you.
And we have been with dad, Pastor Jim and Lori Baker, your friend.
We have learned that he has been waiting on God patiently every year for the promises that God had for him in the ministry.
And yet 26 years later, look where we are.
Look where the PTL network is.
Look where the Jim Baker show is today.
Look where we are.
26 years ago, we wanted to do things so fast, yet God puts the brakes because he sees ahead of it.
Yet when you understand that the encouragement that we have, and the Bible tells us that hope and the encouragement we have is to wait patiently on God's promises to be fulfilled, but yet many people are running so fast and making vital mistakes.
I remember years ago, dad used to tell me, don't make decisions when you're angry.
Don't make decisions when you're in haste moments or when you're finding yourself not understanding what God's will is for your life.
Because many people fall in love with God's gift.
Listen to this.
You fall in love with God's gift.
You fall in love with the calling of God, but never really aligning with the will of God for your life.
When you understand what the will of God is for your life, you will begin to understand the gifts and the calling that God has for you for his promises to be fulfilled in the place, in the area, in the ministry that you're in.
Most people don't stay long enough to see their fruit grow.
Brother, that's a good word.
That's right.
You understand what I'm telling you?
Because it takes time.
People ask me all the time, how can you be in the same place for 26 years?
How can you still be serving that?
You should be, you know, you should be go out.
You should be going out doing your own thing, building your own ministry, da, da, da, da.
Yet that's not what God called me to do.
When you wait patiently and you begin to see your seed, you know, that you plant and you water and you work with, you understand that the fruit of the spirit begins to grow once you set root somewhere.
That's right.
Oh, we can teach all day.
Come on, that's right.
It's time for you to set roots, friends.
Sometimes God has planted you right where you're supposed to be.
Mondo, that's such a good word.
There is a process of waiting sometimes, but I promise you, if you wait in whatever it is the Lord has for you, there's going to be an abundance of fruit after it.
You know, the Lord has called us to be warriors as spiritual Christians, as people who follow the Holy Spirit's prompting.
We're warriors.
You know, Mondo, we have a book in front of us today that is amazing.
Invading the enemy's strongholds.
This is a book by our wonderful and dear friend to the PTL television network, Cindy Jacobs.
Cindy Jacobs is on the broadcast with us today.
I want to thank you for being on with us, Cindy and Mike Jacobs.
Yes.
Good to be with you.
God bless you.
You know, if you don't know, I don't know how you wouldn't know, but if you don't know who Cindy Jacobs is, Cindy Jacobs is the co-founder at Generals International.
She's a prophet, a speaker, a teacher, and an author with a heart for discipling nations in the area of prayer and the prophetic.
And if you have been around this mighty woman of God, you'll understand she moves and lives in the prophetic.
And she and her husband, Mike, they have been married for 49 years, if I recall that correctly.
And they co-founded Generals International in 1985.
Her new book right here is called Invading the Enemy's Strongholds.
This is a powerful book.
Now, Mike, you have to tell me, did I get that number?
I'm trying to memorize everything.
Did I get the number right?
Have you guys been married?
50 going on 51.
51, 51.
Hey, hey, let's start the broadcast with this before we get deep into the book.
How do you stay married 50 years?
I think you fall in love like 50 times.
Our son started giving us marriage advice a couple years ago, and he said, Dad, there are four things that you need to know as a husband to make your wife happy and have a good marriage.
It is these four things, these four phrases.
You were right.
Yes, dear.
Yes, dear.
You were right.
I was wrong.
I'm sorry.
You get those four.
You'll have a good marriage.
I use all four of those phrases every day.
I think it's a daily thing in my house.
Yeah, you used it this morning before I even got into work.
Hey, you know what?
Invading the enemy's strongholds.
This title alone, Cindy Jacobs, I want to thank you for being bold and writing this book because it's time that we as believers, we who have the spiritual armor of God on our side, the Holy Spirit fighting for us, it is time that we not cower as believers, but we that invade the enemy's strongholds.
What made you title this book and write this book, Invading the Enemy Strongholds?
Well, thanks for asking.
Actually, I'm just watching the news.
That's right.
No, we know prayer is the answer, but we need to be have targeted prayer.
And a lot of people are talking about we want revival and reformation.
However, if we don't do Ephesians 6, where it talks about wrestling with powers of darkness and understand how to do it in the right way, then we're not going to be effective.
Protesting Against Economic Murders 00:08:26
We're just not going to be effective.
I think all of you, in fact, at various times we've had these discussions.
And those watching, maybe you feel helpless watching the news.
Maybe you feel hopeless just looking around and saying, you know, just throwing your hands up.
Well, then the nation, my nation's going down or, you know, this is happening.
The economy is going down.
No, there's something we can do about that, right, Mike?
Well, actually, Cindy, this goes back to what Ricky was saying at the beginning of the show.
The fundamental platform from which we operate is identity.
If you don't know your identity in Christ, then you can have the book, but you may be paralyzed and not able to actually utilize the strategies that are in that book.
Yeah, guys, we just flew back from Argentina, and some, I know many of you may not know our history, but we were in something called the Argentine revival with the Cabreras and the Frasins, our dear friends.
Anacondia.
Yeah, and Carlos and Acondia.
And prayer was such a big part of that.
And not only just regular praying, but spiritual warfare praying.
And we saw massive change coming.
Even today, we were just in the city of Rosario, Argentina.
Rosario is a historic city in the nation, but they had 300 murders last year.
The cartels were randomly getting on buses, shooting people, killing people, using kids, 14, 15-year-olds.
And so the church and the city arose and they planted houses of prayers all over Rosario.
What was the result?
I think already, do you remember the stat, honey?
Not exactly.
Yeah, they showed us a whole picture of how many houses of prayers they planted targeting that violent spirit.
And in the first quarter, I think the murders went down 67% already.
And so prayer changes things.
I mean, you could go back a year ago to when we were in Argentina, and we met with these leaders.
These are actually the children of some of the leaders that were our peers back then.
And you gave them a prophetic word because you had a caution that if they did not begin to pray and engage in the spirit, that in the next election that was coming, which was just recently, that they would end up being another Venezuelan.
Which is, as those of you who know what's going on in Venezuela, know what a serious word that is.
And they took it seriously, Cindy.
Yeah.
And so what I'm trying to share in this book is that there are keys to pray so a nation can be reformed.
Politicians are doing their job, godly politicians, but there's powers of darkness.
The Bible tells us this, that are fighting them.
Educators, Christian educators trying to do their job, but there's powers of darkness coming against them.
So all to say, these Argentine leaders blanketed the nation with intercession.
And if you watch the news, you know they got a new president that is pro-Israel, Mele.
He is now allowing them to talk about Jesus Christ.
There's been a lot of practical things the nation needs.
Now, let me throw it back to why this word of the Lord was so heated because H-E-E-D-E-D.
And because many years ago, I gave a prophecy that the economy of Argentina was going to collapse and that there was going to be rioting in the streets of Buenos Aires and it would come and because the communists and the socialists were trying to come into the nation as a sign of that, guys.
The word of the Lord was as a sign one year from now, the economy of Argentina will collapse.
And they just said it can't happen.
Well, you said people would be eating out of trash cans.
Yes, wealthy people, formerly wealthy people.
On the streets of Argentina.
Well, all to say, they just couldn't believe it.
You know, they were a civilized country, you know, and what happened?
Well, a year from then, they had runs on the banks.
The economy collapsed.
There was rioting in the streets of Buenos Aires.
And people were eating out of trash cans out of Versace clothing.
However, the people earnestly prayed.
They know how to do spiritual warfare.
And in the history of the revivals, we've been the revival in Brazil, Colombia, you know, Argentina, many places.
This spiritual warfare has always been a major key.
Amen.
Cindy, can you share what you feel the state of our nation is right now as we're watching a historic rise in Mondo?
This is truly historic.
Since the Holocaust, we haven't seen such an aggressive anti-Semitism across the world.
There's always been nations trying to exterminate Israel, but this is one of the most aggressive to the point where we're seeing rabbis in Israel saying that they are calling this a modern day Holocaust.
Now, we are seeing anti-Semitism rise across America's universities.
Where do you feel like America's state is right now as we're allowing this or as universities are allowing this?
Well, it's very interesting you asked that, Ricky.
The Lord gave me a prophetic word April 19th that we have released.
And I also chair a roundtable of prophets.
We have prophets' roundtables for Europe, Australia, many nations now, and we come together once a year.
And so this word the Lord gave me was very strong.
And I'll read just a little bit of it.
It says, Do not think that the people are protesting and calling for a Palestinian state or just protesting on behalf of Palestine.
There's an insurrection forming from radical Islamists that's like unto communist takeover.
And further down on the word, you know, the Lord showed us as we prayed that there was a demonic power behind this, energizing this movement, you know, of radicalism called the spirit of Amalek.
Now, that may sound wild, but Prime Minister Netanyahu himself says, This is the spirit of Amalek, our old enemy.
Who was Amalek and the Amalekites?
Well, this was a group of people Saul was supposed to take out, but he didn't.
And remember, the prophet got very upset for him for that.
And then this spirit grew stronger and stronger.
In the time of Esther, there was a man named Haman, and he was a descendant of the Amalekites.
And so they tried to destroy the Jewish people.
So this spirit now is operating behind the anti-Semitic spirit.
And, you know, it's very interesting in the U.S. right now.
There is something working, and we have to take the blinders off and to say, this is about a takeover.
Okay, this is not just, this is not just some people, you know, rising up randomly.
And the more I study this, the more I understand that there have been, I think, around 20 organizations that systematically have been planting works on our university campuses to one day take them over and being funded by Qatar and places like this.
So we have got to pray.
Fast and Pray Together 00:08:46
We have got to fast and pray.
Now, why did God give such a stern warning?
God gave a warning because there's time.
If God wanted just, you know, if something was just going to happen, there would be no warning.
And so we are called to fast and pray.
Now, this word, you can see it on generals.org or Cindy Jacobs YouTube, the whole word, it has caused worldwide fasting and prayer all across Europe, massive prayer.
Sweden, I just heard massive prayer in Sweden.
For Latin America in Colombia, they're doing massive intercession and they're calling people from all over Latin America.
And in the U.S., we are praying.
We are interceding.
Because if we don't, let's think about this.
Where will our grandchildren be?
What will they inherit?
There's nations like Tunisia, which is ancient Carthage.
It was the hotbed of Christianity.
And there's other nations in the Middle East that once were strongly.
Egypt itself, between 300 AD and 600 AD, was like Christian nations.
90% Christian.
But so we've got to wake up.
And so I wrote this book so people will know how to pray, know what to pray about, invading the enemy's stronghold.
It's targeted.
It's focused.
We have to be informed intercessor.
And you might say, well, I'm not a big prayer warrior, but you will be part of what's happening.
So God will give you prayers to pray right in your house.
You can call your friends and weekly pray together.
We need everybody prayer walking your neighborhood, prayer walking college campuses.
You know, maybe you could just take a group from your church and go to a college campus and just prayer walk it.
I absolutely think that is a critical thing we need to be doing.
This is a book, Nena, I believe the believers need to get their hands on.
Order this for yourself.
Order it for your pastor.
Order it for a small study group in your home.
Invite your friends, your family, your neighbors.
Get them in your home and digest this book together.
Why?
Because it's time that we understand what we're fighting.
That's right, Ricky.
And I love, Miss Cindy, I love that you used the word.
And it's exactly, I was trying to figure out like what word describes this book best, but you used it right there.
You said informed intercessors.
And as I began to read this and I looked at this book, you have truly created, I look at this, this is a tool for us.
The first thing, the very first thing you're doing is you're preparing us.
It truly is a step-by-step preparing you as the believer, but it's not, as I begin to look at this, I said, Lord, how amazing.
This isn't just for an individual.
This is for a group study.
This is for a church, a Bible study group, a family that can come together to walk through this.
And I love here, if I can, at the very beginning, and I think that this is so critical for the church, for the individual who's watching.
How many times do you feel like, Lord, I am going against a major battle in my life, Lord, and I seem to never be able to get to where I need to go?
I don't seem to ever be able to overcome the way that the word of God has promised.
And I believe that there are many factors of why individuals never see the breakthrough that they felt that they were contending God for.
And you break it down so beautifully here, Miss Cindy.
And I want you to just quit, you know, if you can, just even talk about this a little bit.
The first things that you open this book with is presenting us as the reader, those who are reading this.
You say the following are some steps to prepare.
Before you get into it, here's what you say.
Personal cleansing from unforgiveness, resentments, or woundedness.
You then go on to say, as you prepare, make sure that you do not have iniquities in your own family line that would allow Satan to attack.
How many people do we open unknowingly, unbeknownst to us, open ourselves up to the attacks of the enemy because we have not properly set ourselves up for the victory?
And I believe you continue.
I mean, there's truly every chapter ends with question after question, guidance after guidance.
You lead us into prayers.
This book is a tool for you.
This is truly a tool for us who have been watching.
Maybe you're sitting at home and you're saying, Lord, I've been contending, God, for years.
I've not seen the breakthrough that I've been asking God for.
I believe that today is the day.
I believe this is a part of getting you there.
I want you, you can order this book today by going to our website.
That's Nori Media and Destiny Image.
They're the publishers of the book.
So you can order through the affiliate program.
You can also call our number here.
That's our operators here at Morningside, 1-888-988-1588.
You can order a book today.
But Cindy, can you just elaborate a little bit on that?
Because I feel this is so critical.
And you open the book with that.
Yeah, thank you, Nana.
Yeah, it's very important because, you know, if we don't do what you were just reading, if we don't prepare, then we have holes in our armor.
A lot of people say, you know, right, my.
Yeah, I was hoping that you would talk about holes in the army because that's what you're talking about in the book.
Yeah, a lot of people, they say, oh, I have the armor of God and I'm protected.
But yet, if you have unforgiveness, that's like a hole.
And Satan is going to shoot his fiery darts right into that.
And then people go, oh, well, spiritual warfare doesn't work.
You know, I'm getting so attacked.
No, you don't really have on the armor of God.
And we've got to learn how to put on the whole armor of God.
And right now, I mean, I am going through my own life.
Guys, I'm going through my own life, everyone out there.
And I'm saying, Lord, are there any wicked ways in me?
You know, I have the fear of the Lord on me right now.
You know, Satan isn't playing.
He wants to steal, kill, and destroy from your life.
And, you know, I think this is critical.
You know, another illustration, Cindy, would be like in the time of Jesus, you know, had they had the fishermen.
Why did the fishermen always mend their nets?
Because if they allowed holes to be in their nets, the fish will, they may catch the fish, but they're going to all escape.
And so it's the same thing as the concept of holes in your armor.
You have to deal with the things in your life that give Satan a legal right to be successful against you.
So it's not just you need to know your identity.
You need to know who you are in Christ.
You need to go into spiritual battle.
You've got to do it the correct way.
Yeah, that's a very important point.
When I was in the army, I was a part of an infantry battalion.
I absolutely enjoyed my time.
But they had these things called PCCs and PCIs.
It means pre-combat checks and pre-combat inspections.
So I put all of my armor on.
I put all my gear on.
I make sure my weapon's good.
And I do a pre-combat check.
I make sure, can my weapon fire?
Are there any holes in my body armors that if an enemy were to hit me, it would go through my body armor?
I've done my pre-combat check.
And then what I have to do, I have to do a pre-combat inspection where somebody else comes and double work does the work that I just did.
They make sure, hey, does his weapon fire?
Does he have any cracks in his armor?
And believer, I believe that the church has done a lot of pre-combat checks.
The first part we've self-evaluated.
Believer, I believe it's time that we as a church are open to accountability where we have someone else step in and say, hey, brother, there's a crack in your armor on your backside that you couldn't see.
This is going to be critical in the fight you're going to be fighting.
We need to make sure you get a new back armor plate.
There's a crack in your shield.
There's a break in your sword.
Believer, there must be accountability in the church.
And like you said, a small group, a study group, that's why this is important, friend.
We're not just selling books.
No, we bring books that we believe in.
This right here will make sure that there is accountability among the brethren to say, hey, you know what?
You've put your body armor on, but there is something that you're missing.
The backside has a crack on it.
Your shin plates aren't right.
Your boots aren't laced the right way.
If you're going to be running away from something or running towards something.
Friend, we have to bring accountability back in the church.
Four Factors for Results 00:04:24
Cindy, thank you for writing a book this strong.
I haven't seen any work from Cindy Jacobs or Mike Jacobs that isn't strong because when the Lord tells them to do something, they're strong and bold about it.
But I believe accountability in the church through even something like this is critical in the times we're living in.
You're absolutely right.
We have to recognize the practical factors to a takeover.
Yes.
And I speak on that because spiritually speaking, this is what this is.
Yes.
But when you recognize the takeover in the streets with anti-Semitism and what's happening, it makes me think about how we establish the gang culture in Los Angeles, California.
And I want you to pay attention to these four factors because if Christians can understand how to apply these four factors along with this book, you're going to have results like never seen before.
One of the factors that we position ourselves back in the 90s when there was an explosion of over 60,000 gang members in the streets of Los Angeles, California was this.
And it's what I'm noticing right now with the anti-Semitism and the culture that is changing.
I'm watching the same trend.
Number one, we were giving money where the need was.
Number two, we populated the neighborhoods.
Number three, we established a culture in order.
And number four, in order to activate them.
Wow.
When you understand those four factors, you understand that if you apply them, you're going to see the results over neighborhood changing.
You're going to see the results of the city changing to the point where right now we have over a million gang members active in the United States.
When you understand what the position of a takeover of what's happening with the anti-Semitism, you follow the same trend.
They're giving money where the need is.
And where the need is, is the universities are taking $7 million, one university, another university taking over $2 million.
Then you start understanding how they populate students into that culture.
And number three, they're establishing a culture within the university.
And now what are we seeing?
An activation.
An activation.
If you apply those four things for your spiritual life, you will understand how to invade the enemy's stronghold.
I believe this is a roadmap to where we are right now in order to understand how do we pray against this culture that is taking place.
That's right.
Christians, we have failed miserably establishing a spiritual culture in the community.
Not all of them, because I saw this take place at the Dream Center in 1994 when the Dream Center began to do this.
They positioned themselves to take over the neighborhood.
At that point, Los Angeles, California was the leading cause of crimes in the United States.
But when the Dream Center with Pastor Tommy Barnett and Matthew Barnett established the culture, they activated the culture, they populated the culture, and they gave where the culture needed.
Today, we see the results of Los Angeles, California, maybe not in the whole entire state, but in that region where they're established is one of the safest zones by activating, understanding how to invade the enemy's territory.
That's right.
And I've seen so many lives changed by the Dream Center because they were dedicated that even through being in one of the worst neighborhoods at that time, they said, you know what, we're going to stay faithful to the call of God in our life.
And friend, it's time for you to do the same thing wherever you are.
Stay faithful to the cause.
Stay faithful to the call of God on your life.
I promise you, he will see you through.
Wherever he takes you, he will provide for you.
Wherever he brings you, he will sustain you, believer.
I promise you, God is good and only does good.
This is critical.
You know, I was reading this while Mondo was talking.
I leaned over to Netanyahu and I said, look at this.
I love this right here.
It says, prepare for Jesus's return by occupying until he comes, not surrendering ground to the enemy.
Brian, that is exactly what we're called to do.
Cindy Jacobs, I want to thank you for writing this book.
This is critical.
Strategic Reform Efforts 00:07:18
You can go to jimbakershow.com or give us a call at 1-888-988-1588.
This book is available there through Destiny Image.
Now, Cindy, I have to ask you this: how do we get to the point of actually seeing a new reformation?
That's a very good point.
First of all, you have to know what needs to be reformed.
You know, what's happening at our universities is a wake-up call because there are people that strategically reformed our schools, the humanists, the anti-Israel, you know, Hamas, the communists.
They have been working on this for, you know, 20 some odd years.
And all of a sudden, we wonder what's going on.
It always has been going on.
The good thing is now we kind of know where it is.
And so know your schools.
Look, know what's going on in your child's school.
Go to the library, ask, find out what the curriculum is.
We have got to mobilize.
In fact, the word of the Lord right now, in fact, I gave it, and my good friend Lou Engle and Jenny Donnelly were preparing October 12th to go to the National Mall in Washington, D.C. to pray about this.
But God gave me word about the mama bears.
The mama bears are arising.
A theme of a conference we're doing this year for women is not on our watch.
This time it's personal.
This time it's personal.
Listen to me.
There isn't one of us in the body of Christ right now that can be lazy.
There's not one of us.
Because if we don't, our generations will be captured.
This is a wake-up call.
So find out what's happening in your schools.
Find out what's happening in your local politics.
You know, we don't understand how important local elections are.
City councils are running whole cities.
I want to tell you something.
I just came back from before I went to Argentina.
I went to Canada.
They were telling me in Montreal that you cannot build any new church buildings.
You have to get an existing church.
You can't meet in schools.
You can't meet in hotels.
And they're about five years down the line, you know, from us.
Sorry, as far as establishing Islam.
And they're bulldozing the cathedrals there and building mosques.
And if you just find out how many mosques were in your city, like 10 years ago, and compare how many today, it probably would shock you.
What city was it that went from four to like 22?
I can't remember, but we have a 50-state prayer network, the Reformation Prayer Network, and we put out alerts.
Yeah, and we have been systematically studying what has happened in the landscape of our nation.
Now, people in Montreal are a place where they're, I prophesied 20 years ago, pastors were going to be arrested in Canada.
You know, the various things are going to happen.
And it's already happened.
I prophesied that in Europe.
I'm prophesying now for America that if we don't wake up, and I was particularly for the next election, guys, I'll unashamedly say that.
We have to have biblical-friendly leaders.
The word that God gave us, our Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders, we had to have a wartime president, and we needed wartime intercessors or a wartime body of Christ.
And really, even need a war college.
Yeah.
So the next time, the next election, the word was: if we don't have this, then what's going to happen is our enemies will not be afraid of us.
I just read two articles today, one in the San Diego, California paper, that Russia is doing missile launching testing between the San Diego and Hawaii.
And they're doing the same thing in Alaska.
Russia is up, I forgot, 20 times more or whatever.
They're testing our territorial space.
Putin just met with Xi Jinping, you know, of China.
Let's wake up.
The good news is, you know, that's why we've got to learn how to pray strategically.
We've got to be informed.
We've got to be reformers.
We have to know.
We have to pray and act.
We have to be the loudest voice on the block.
Can I say that?
We have to be the loudest voice.
If you're the only one that shows up at that school board meeting, you get your body to that school board meeting.
We have got to be active.
We have got to be active.
You know, I do truly believe we need a strong America.
Mondo, I've shared this with you before.
It's not classified information.
When I was stationed up in Alaska in Anchorage, there's many times when I first got there, we would hear the fighter jets immediately, you know, rip and take straight up off into the air.
And I would be asking people, well, what are they doing?
Are they training?
And they say, no, no.
Russian planes are constantly coming into American airspace to test how fast our pilots are, to see how fast they can get in the air and to see if they can dogfight fast enough.
And they're constantly, this isn't just once or twice a year, Mondo.
This seemed to be a weekly event that they were testing our capabilities, testing our strength, and testing our speed.
Why is it that we're allowing ourselves to be dogged by another country?
America is a strong America if we have godly leaders in place and the godly men of God who are in our, not just our president, friend, our representatives, our congressmen, our senators, our school board leaders.
It starts from what you would think is the lowest point.
It starts there, friend.
It starts with the people in our community at the lowest election level.
They must be fearing God.
They must have a fear of God in their heart.
Why?
Because that is how we will change the culture.
Mondo, you put it so eloquently.
The culture must be changed.
We can't just assume, okay, you know what?
It's just one election and done.
No, no, every one of these elections, it's critical that we get God-fearing men and women in these offices.
When, you know, when a nation is in debt to other nations, we don't understand the negotiations that are taking place behind closed doors.
That's right.
And yet we are wondering why are these people allowed to play in our backyard?
Well, our nation has been in debt with so many different nations that, you know what, at one point they're going to start cashing in on some of this debt.
That's right.
China already, you know, and a lot of the states own thousands of acres of land.
So they have claim to our land.
You look at Russia, they have claim to our land.
That's why they feel freely to fly in our backyard.
Yet when you have the godly principles with godly administrations, that stops because you understand how nations work.
This is, listen, there's no coincidence why the Jacobs are called to the nations.
Send Our Angelic Host 00:15:41
I believe that you have a word, Cindy, for the nation right now of America as you travel around the world and you're spoken to leaders.
What word do you have for the nation of America right now?
Well, for the Lord would say, I have given you a space of mercy and take this and utilize it to cry out to me.
And the Lord says, if you will do so, and if you will turn the nation back to God, the Lord says, I will in judgment remember mercy, and I will begin to send my angelic host into the nation.
And the Lord says, there is yet uncovering that is getting ready to happen on governmental university campuses, but judgment is beginning at the house of God first.
Now, you watch and see, there's some major uncovering yet to come.
It is going to shock the world.
It's going to send shockwaves around the world.
But the Lord says, do not be afraid because I am cleaning house.
I am cleaning my house, says the Lord.
And the Lord says, I am holiness in manifestation.
I am a holy God.
But the Lord says, do not be afraid.
The Lord says, fear not, for I am with you, and I can do in an instant what took man years to do.
I can do in a month what it seems like it took years.
I can unravel the garments of iniquity and the garments of evil that have covered over the corruption and the works of corruption.
And the Lord would say, even for my Jewish people, I love you and I am getting ready to do battle myself, says the Lord, as a captain of the Lord of hosts against this Amalekite, Amalek, anti-Semitic spirit, says the Lord.
Why is it important that a reformer needs to be dreaming?
Well, because we want to dream God's dreams.
God dreams himself.
God dreams.
For you.
Yeah.
And so I think that as we pray, God will say, okay, I want this to happen.
I want this to happen.
And then we intercede into the earth.
God doesn't do anything except by prayer.
That's how he set up the universe, the world, you know, that we would ask and that we would seek and we would find.
And so I want to say, listen, all of you listening, and this is, of course, not just for the U.S., this is for Europe.
This is for the whole world.
I want to say to you, God is anointing you right now.
He's going to give you downloads.
He's going to show you what you are to reform.
And the Lord has used this program for many of you just to wake you up and even to shock us.
But the Lord says, I mean, I am shocking you to awaken you, to get your heart to beat, not in fear.
I feel like fear gives the heart of the church a rhythmia.
But we've got to put faith to this word, says the Lord.
And so, Father, I thank you for the reformers.
I thank you for revival and reformation in our nations that will lead us to the Lord for God's plan for the nations.
You know, and Cindy, I think one of the things that they mentioned early on about the book itself, they were talking about groups, you know, not just individuals, but groups would benefit from this because, you know, Ricky was in the military.
They never would send him into battle by himself.
Right.
He was never intended to go to battle by himself.
That was a great point.
And so here we are, you know, they, Jim Baker and that family have understood for years the need to gather the body of Christ together to do warfare together, to pray together.
And Cindy and I really appreciate that you have that understanding.
Yeah, let me give you a word really quick.
The word of the Lord I'm getting is forums that God will allow you right there on the campus on site to begin to find the educators, to begin to find these different spheres, mountains, as Lance Wano calls it.
And if you will convene them, the Lord is going to bring the reformers, and from that will come the strategies.
And then you're going to be able to put on the air the strategies that are needed.
God has given you a defeat.
This is why we need your help.
Because, listen, we do.
And those watching, we need your help.
If we're going to fulfill this, listen, Cindy Jacobs prophesied over Lori's house before Lori's house was even there and is sitting right here.
We do what God calls us to do.
We don't just sit around and wait.
We obey.
And as we're speaking right now, our equipment is breaking, or equipment is in trouble, or equipment is a miracle that we're on the air every single day with you.
It's a miracle that we're even operating right now because if you knew behind the scenes what miracles it takes for us to be on the air with you, you'll be shocked.
But that's why we need your help.
We need you to stand with us this month, Ricky.
You know, there was a word given through you and through the ministry to send me, Lord.
Send me.
That's right.
You know, because if we're going to do this, we're going to do it all the way.
We're not going to back down.
We're not going to go anywhere.
But we need your support.
We launch a campaign for you to stand with us of 2,000 people to stand with us at $500 to be able to meet the need to, you know, to renew the equipment.
The cameras are breaking.
The lenses are not operating well.
The computers are crashing.
I mean, I cannot even tell you the nightmare it is some days to even think that we're not going to be on the air.
That's right.
But yet, here we are.
And we've stewarded this equipment 15 plus years, which, if you know the television industry, it is a very long time to steward any of these pieces of equipment.
We have constantly fixed and band-aided and band-aided and band-aided, but it comes to a point where you can't band-aid anymore because they don't make the pieces anymore.
Motherboards, they don't make them anymore.
But you're right, Mondo.
We have stewarded this equipment as best as we possibly could.
We've said, you know what?
Let us find a solution to fix and fix and fix.
But it comes to the point where it says, hey, you know what?
There's no longer fixing this piece of equipment.
They don't make the parts anymore.
But you're right.
We do need people to stand with us.
And we are so close to reaching our first goal, friend.
If you're watching this right now, we need less than 200 people.
I think we need like 195 more people to stand with us on the send me offering to reach our first goal of this.
That will allow us to continue to broadcast the gospel of Jesus Christ around the world.
That will allow us to renew the pieces that are broken here so that we can start moving to the next two goals that we have.
But, friend, we need you to stand with us today.
If you want to be a part of that, you can call us at 1-888-988-1588 or go to jimbakershow.com.
But we just need 200 more of you to stand with us with this.
And Mondo, we can complete the first phase of what we need to continue to be on the PTL network.
I want to ask the Jacobs: can the two of you pray for the release of the funds and people to stand with us as we want to move into the next level?
And listen, people, we are standing on behalf for our mom and dad, for your friends, Pastor Jim and Lori Baker.
You know, keep praying for them, keep seeking God for them because every single day, you know, he's fighting to stay alive, fighting to keep moving.
And you've seen him on the air.
He's his vision.
Absolutely.
The vision is going to go forward, but we want to have a place for him.
So when he comes back every other week, you know, he has a place to minister to you.
He's hearing from God.
That's right.
He wants to share some things to you that he's seen that is going to be the next level of how the church needs to be prepared.
But would the two of you pray right now for this offering?
Please.
Father, I do pray in the name of Jesus.
Listen, When you sow into something that reaches hundreds of thousands, even millions of people, imagine what happens to that seed.
You see, sometimes we can sow and we'll bless an individual, but when we bless whole nations through a gift, that's another level.
So, Father, I pray for the faith right now.
Just go ahead right now and pledge at this moment.
Don't wait.
You know, Mike and I are listening and we're going, oh, well, we're going to pledge right now.
I think, Cindy, there's so many people that have the capacity to right this minute, call in, get with them.
Yeah, this should not be hard to do.
Let's get this phase one done.
Yeah, and then let's pray for abundance.
So, and the Lord is showing me there's someone watching, and you're a person of capacity.
I mean, $500, you wouldn't, you'd spend that insult to some business leader.
So, you're going like, I can give a lot more than that.
Why don't you challenge me to give more?
Yeah, you'd spend that at a restaurant.
So, how about you?
There's somebody, you have capacity, and you're listening right now, and you have capacity.
You can just say, Hey, give me a list of equipment.
Give me a list of equipment.
And so, we are sowing because we need to sow.
And we have always sown.
This is a such, we call it good dirt.
Yeah, it's good ground to sow into.
Yeah, but I mean, we have media, so we're sowing into their media.
We know the fruit of when we give.
We've seen it every time.
And so, and when we and when we you gave the prophetic word over Lori's house, we were some of the first to give into that.
Yes, because that's the word of God.
Yeah, we're not asking you to do something we don't do personally.
But, Father, I pray for that one that the Lord is showing me.
I'm speaking to you right now.
You have capacity.
You could just give him a call and say, Look, come on, give me a list of your top five, whatever equipment piece or more that you need.
And you know what?
It'll be for the glory of God that you'll do that.
So, Lord, we do pray in the name of Jesus for faith to give.
It takes faith to give.
And we pray for that in Jesus' name.
Amen.
You know, I believe that this is a time where people are releasing seed into good ministries.
You know, Mike and Cindy Jacobs, that is a place and a good place to sow seed into.
I've had the opportunity to listen to them speak, preach, prophesy.
And, Mondo, they're the real deal.
Why?
Because they walk intimately with the Holy Spirit.
During my time at Christ for the Nations, I loved going there.
I got the opportunity to see Miss Cindy speak a few times, and it was powerful every time.
Why?
Because the authenticity of the Holy Spirit was there.
You know, Mondo, I believe in these end times we're living in.
Authenticity is going to be one of the most critical things.
It is no longer a fake it till you make it, generation.
We're tired of people faking it until they make it.
We need the real rawness of the Holy Spirit.
That means even pastor, preacher, minister, if you're watching, you've worked a whole week on a sermon, but at the minute you step on that stage, the Holy Spirit says today's service is just about prayer.
We're praying the entire time.
You must be willing to set it aside and say, you know what?
The Holy Spirit has spoken to me.
Friends, believer, congregation, we are interceding for whatever it is the Holy Spirit has poured into me.
Mondo, we want to be here until we hear those trumpets go off, until the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back in all his glory, preaching until our very last breath here on earth.
We want to be here for that.
Like you said, giving Pastor Jim Baker, your friend, the platform.
So whenever Pastor Jim Baker comes and sits back in this seat, which we love for him to do, whether it's bi-weekly or weekly, anytime he says, hey, I have the energy, I want to get back on that set, we go pick him up and we bring him here.
Why?
Because your friend wants to minister to you, wants to speak to you.
He's still having dreams.
He's still having visions.
And he still has a divine calling and purpose on his life that he has many, many, many, many years to fulfill.
And I truly believe that.
But we want to have a place for him.
Like you said, Mondo, we have to have the seat for him to come sit in.
Absolutely.
Give us a call right now, 1-888-988-1588, or visit the website, jimbakershow.com.
Stand with us in this season.
Amen.
We're moving forward.
We're not giving up.
We're not quitting.
We're not going anywhere.
We're standing right here.
We're going to be sitting right here, bringing you the voice of the prophets to minister to you, to help us understand the times and the seasons that we're going through right now.
Amen.
You know, I love on the back of this book that Cindy Jacobs has written.
It says, target your prayers to overthrow the powers of darkness.
And that is a critical thing we need to be doing.
Friend, we are the head and not the tail.
It's a Deuteronomy type of day.
I absolutely love this.
Why?
Because I'm reading through this verse 28.
It's talking about, or excuse me, chapter 28, Deuteronomy is talking about the blessings for obedience.
He will bless, be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
Your offspring will be blessed in your land produce and the offspring of your livestock, including the young of your herds and the newborn of your flocks.
Your baskets and your kneading bowl will be blessed.
And you will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
Friend, that is a promise for you as a believer.
We are to stand strong.
Put on the full armor of God every day.
Friend, that's not just a cutesy Bible story we tell our kids in Sunday school.
It's not just something you just say, hey, put on the full armor of God right before you go to bed to your young children or to your grandchildren.
No, we are truly living in a critical age where you must wake up, man and woman of God, and say, I am putting on every piece of the armor today because I am going to war with the enemy in my community, for my family, for my church body, for my nations, for the globe.
Why?
Because we must stand strong.
Believers, I believe that we are going to see one of the greatest move of God's globally in this next coming few months and these next coming years.
2024, the end of it, and 2025, we are going to see the Holy Spirit move like you have never seen before.
But what must we do?
We must be in tune for what the Holy Spirit is saying.
And believer, we must educate ourselves on how to fight.
You don't go into war without doing repetition.
I just talked to Mondo about this.
There's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of repetition that go into mission planning whenever you're going to do a mission in the army.
And you know what?
Even right before, minutes before, they're making sure you know exactly what you're doing.
Believer, you're called to have the information and to walk the information out.
That's why I believe that this is something critical for you to get.
You can go to jimbakershow.com.
