Jim Bakker Sermon 12: The Second Seal and The Red Horse
|

Time Text
White Horse of Information Conquers 00:06:47
The book of Revelation chapter 6.
I'm going to read verse 1.
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard as it were the noise of thunder.
One of the four beasts or living beings saying, come.
Or remember, we learned that means go as well.
And I personally think it means go.
And C is not even in the original transcript.
So one of the four beasts saying, go.
And I saw, and behold, a white horse.
And he that sat on him had a bow, and a crown was given unto him.
And he went forth conquering to subdue and to conquer.
These horses are sent forth to conquer.
We studied this last week, but I just want to review this because I've never seen an audience go into a state of shock like you did last week.
I mean, you were just literally frozen.
And you're not God's chosen frozen.
You were frozen almost like, oh my God, I've never thought of that.
And I think what happened, because I've talked to a lot of people, suddenly you realized what you've been trying to figure out.
You figured it out.
What is this deception?
How can there be such false doctrine in the world today?
Because I believe the white horse is spiritual warfare.
It doesn't have arrows.
It has a bow.
So it doesn't have weapons.
It doesn't have physical weapons.
You understand that?
This writer is sent to conquer.
How can you conquer without bombs, without bows and arrows, or without bullets?
You conquer with words.
How is this country being destroyed?
It's being destroyed by words.
It's being destroyed by even the control of our words.
Do you think a God in heaven is going to be honored by a country that says you can't pray in school or you cannot read the Bible in school?
Are we honoring God, making rules that said we can abort a baby when it's being born?
You can literally, and it's in the birth canal at nine months.
I'm talking about a full-born baby.
You can poke a hole in its scalp and suck its brains out at the birth moment.
And that's legal in the United States of America.
And we say, God bless America.
We are in the hour where words are used to destroy.
The devil cannot get at the church, really, from the outside.
So now he's using false doctrine in the church.
We are literally aligning ourselves to the very message of the harlot of the book of Revelation.
A bow but no arrow.
He's not equipped for material warfare, but he's out to conquer.
This is the antichrist spirit that conquers with words.
You ever heard of a silver-tongued devil?
Some men are silver-tongued devils.
Talk you out of anything, girls.
Well, the devil is a silver-tongue devil.
And that's how the Antichrist is going to begin his reign.
He's going to have all the answers.
The second horseman, remember, is warfare.
That second horseman, material warfare.
And so all these horses have to do with warfare.
And so I believe the first one is spiritual warfare.
Anti-Christian ideology.
Antichrist spirit.
Warfare of information.
We're in the information age.
How many have a computer yet?
Do you anybody have a computer in your house?
Raise your hand if you have a computer in your home.
Most everybody.
Do you know when television came out?
I heard preachers talk about that damnable TV set.
Pit from pit of hell.
And now we all have them in our home.
We have a direct line to the pit right there in our house.
But you know, we didn't think it could get evil, or did we?
We didn't think that it could get worse than television, but now we've got a machine that is even more diabolical in our homes than television.
It's called the computer age.
Do you understand the filth that comes on your computer that every one of your children have access to?
I was at Camp of Hope, and some of the kids borrowed my computer because it was there at the office, and God only knows where they went on the websites.
But I started getting emails, and they're tricky emails.
You know what I'm talking about?
So I clicked on to see where they're going.
I went like, ah!
Excuse me, I think we just hurt the sound company.
No, it was so horrible.
Women having sex with animals pop up on your screen.
It's on any screen.
And our little children can see the most filthy, diabolical things.
And we call it the information age.
The book of Daniel tells us that in the last days knowledge shall be increased.
But such learning has made us mad.
All of our technology, like the Tower of Babel or Babel, is bringing us down to the pits of hell.
We are in the information age.
We are in the hour where the white horse of information is riding.
This warfare of destruction is television, radio.
Have you heard some of the radio disc jockeys in the morning that your kids listen to?
No, because you're over on the Christian stations.
We're in the little hot house of Christianity.
You flip across somebody, they're talking about the most filthy, filthy, filthy things as your kids are going to school.
I won't name some of the shock jocks, but they're everywhere.
Every city has them.
I don't understand how decent people in decent cities are allowing these radio announcers and these radio disc jockeys to say the filthy things they're saying.
Deception In The Last Days 00:13:33
You think my son's crazy coming, you know, with all of his tattoos and all the things they do out there in society?
But I'm telling you, they're out there where the rubber meets the road.
They're out there in the real world.
And we Christians are still trying to huddle together and to tune out the whole world.
But there is a world out there that is inundating our kids, inundating this society.
We have the greatest onslaught of filth.
And I believe the white horseman of the apocalypse is riding, and he is destroying by the words of his mouth.
He is destroying by ideas and filth and lust of the last days.
Another gospel is a part of the last days.
The Bible warns in 2 Corinthians 11:4, Galatians 1, 6 warns of another gospel.
And we have a gospel of the love of money.
I have never seen such preaching on the love of money as I have witnessed in these days.
We are, you know, Jim, you say, but you need money, you raise money.
Yeah, I don't want to love this stuff.
I don't want to be in love with it.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
And we in the church have allowed the things of the world to come in.
Quick, go back to 2 Timothy 3.
I'm trying to make this clearer than I did last time.
I believe 2 Timothy 3, verse 1, I believe this is a picture of now.
Say now.
This is now.
2 Timothy 3.1, are you there?
This know also that in the last days, perilous times shall come.
Is this the Bible or not?
How come you're listening to preachers that tell you it's going to get better and better, and you're going to get bigger houses, bigger cars, more stuff, better happiness?
And you know why they're preaching pre-tribulation gospel?
Pre-tribulation gospel is brand new.
It's not an old doctrine.
Pre-tribulation has to be taught if you believe in prosperity gospel.
Because nothing bad can happen to you.
People go to church having itching ears.
They don't want to hear bad things.
They only want to hear, oh, it's going to get better and better.
And then we're going to be whisked off to heaven while all the bad people on earth are punished.
It's another gospel being preached.
You need to read the word of the living God, people.
Perilous times shall come.
What shall happen?
For men shall be lovers of their own selves.
They shall be covetousness.
They shall be boasters, proud, blasphemers.
We blaspheme Jesus Christ in almost every movie made in Hollywood has to curse Jesus Christ.
Disobedience to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent.
That means without control, fierce, despisers of those that are good.
We make fun of anybody that's good.
They literally mock them today.
Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.
Having a form of godliness.
We all waved flags after 9-11, didn't we?
God bless America.
Every sign, every hotel, everywhere you went.
God bless America.
Somebody said maybe we should say, America, bless God.
America, worship God.
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof from such, turn away.
I believe with all my heart that this first horse of the apocalypse, the white horse and rider, is all of the above that I just read.
I believe it is the spirit of wickedness, the spirit of sin, the spirit of words, the spirit of pornography, the spirit of filth, the spirit that's killing us, the spirit of false doctrine being preached in the churches.
The power of life and death is in the tongue.
Is that right?
Well, why then wouldn't one of these horses have the power of life and death that's in the tongue?
It makes sense to me.
The spirit of Antichrist has risen up against Jesus Christ.
And we're just in the beginning of the days of sorrow where they will one day hate you for the name of Christ's sake.
Matthew 24, 4, and Jesus answered and said unto them, take heed that no man deceive you.
Maybe you better turn there one more time before we get to the next horse.
Matthew 24, 4.
Boy, this Matthew 24, you want to realize that when you read Matthew 24, this is Jesus Christ talking.
And there is no rapture in Matthew 24.
There is no rapture in Matthew 24 before Antichrist is revealed and all these things.
And it's after the tribulation that the rapture takes place in Matthew 24.
You find it somewhere else in Matthew 24.
It's not there, folks.
We got to stop lying about the scriptures.
We make the Bible fit what we want it to.
It's called proof texting.
That's the official word.
It's longhorn sermons, according to what's his name?
Chuck Swindell, and I heard it on the program James Dobson Show.
Yeah, they said that they call them longhorn sermons.
They didn't call them proof texting.
Proof texting is more scientific.
But longhorn.
Remember what a longhorn sermon is, you folks from Texas.
It's a point here and a point there and a lot of bull in between.
That's a longhorn sermon.
Well, that's proof texting.
It's a little point.
You take a little piece of scripture, then you take another little piece of scripture and you put it together to make it say something it doesn't even say.
We have made Jesus say things he's never said.
Jesus said you can't serve God in money.
And we have Jesus preaching money all the time.
Every scripture, we twist it around to make it come out money.
And I'll tell you, I studied in prison every word Jesus spoke.
He had nothing good to say about money.
Nothing.
That's what I wept and repented before God that I'd even thought of teaching people to have the love of money in their hearts.
Over there, Matthew 24, 4.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Are you there?
This is so important.
Underline this verse.
If you don't write in your Bible, everybody thinks you have to have a clean Bible and you can't deface the Bible.
Write in your Bible.
Underline it.
Make it friendly, user-friendly.
Put key by that verse, those two verses right there.
Write the word key, K-E-Y.
This is key stuff.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, take heed that no man deceive you, for many shall come in my name.
Whose name?
Jesus.
Saying, I am Christ.
Saying, I am, Christ means the Messiah.
So many will come in my name saying, I am the Messiah and shall deceive many.
Now, they didn't come saying that they were the Messiah.
They come saying Jesus is the Messiah.
Are you hearing me?
There's no quotes there.
For many shall come in saying, I am Christ.
It's not in quotes.
They're not saying it.
Jesus is saying it.
What did he say in Matthew 7, 22?
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied what?
In thy name.
You get this?
Have we not cast out devils in thy name?
And in thy name done many wonderful works?
That wonderful works is miracles and wonders and signs.
And it's like big churches.
It's like choirs.
It's like greatness.
It's like awesomeness.
Our word dudemus, actually the Greek word is dudamus.
Our word dynamite comes from this word, wonderful works.
So here they are saying, we did wonderful works in Jesus' name.
Oh, Jesus, I build a church in your name.
Oh, Jesus, I build Heritage USA in your name.
Oh, Jesus, I cast out devils in your name.
Oh, Jesus, I prophesied in your name.
And what does it go on to the next verse to say?
And then I profess unto them, I never knew you.
I never had an intimate relationship with you.
Depart from me, you that work iniquity.
Deception will not come from some guy walking down Branson Street with a robe on saying, I'm Jesus the Messiah.
That will not deceive you.
What will deceive you and is deceiving you is men that are standing in the pulpit and saying Jesus Christ is the Messiah, saying that Jesus Christ is Lord.
And then they're teaching you to love money and love the things of this world.
That's where the deception has come.
Narrow is the way and few there be that find it.
That scares me.
I don't know about you.
But where will the deception come?
Many will come in Jesus' name, in my name, saying, I am the Christ.
I am the Messiah, and shall deceive many.
Oh, people, the deception is in the church.
The man who had the greatest supernatural power I've ever, ever seen was a reprobate who died of AIDS.
You flock for miracles.
You flock for signs and wonders.
We flock for everything emotional.
But we better find that secret place we talked about earlier.
We better find that place to be shut in with God because the world is full of deception.
The religion is full of deception.
And we must find Jesus.
We must stay in his word.
And I'm telling you, that's why I don't want to hear anything but the word of God.
I'm not interested in what Dr. so-and-so says.
I'm not interested in what the Schofield Bible says.
I don't care how much you want to worship the Schofield Bible.
I want to know what the Bible says.
Not just what some man says about the Bible.
We idolize people.
We idolize preachers.
And we are so lazy today that we do not study the Bible ourselves.
We leave it up to Dr. so-and-so to tell us what the Bible means.
And we have preaching today and teaching today and books by the millions that are preparing people for disaster.
Because millions and millions of people that are in the church believe that they will not have any tribulation.
They believe that somehow they're going to escape anything bad.
And God spoke to me in prison as I studied the word.
He said, Jim, warn the people.
He said, the people of God, the people who are in churches, he said, they will commit suicide when the stock market crashes, when the world falls apart, when the economy is gone, and all the things that they have been holding on to, they're God money.
When it's gone, they will blow their brains out just like the others will do when their stocks crash.
Where is your God?
The things you love will show you where your God is and what you do with it.
We are in the last days, people.
We are in the perilous times.
We are in an hour of greater deception than we've ever, ever, ever known.
Back to Revelation 6, 3.
And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second beast or living being say, let's not call these beasts.
Four Beings Around the Throne 00:02:50
That's a King James translation.
That's not the original text.
The original text is living being.
It's a living created person, a being in heaven, one who's articulate.
This being sings.
These beings are the four people around the throne that lead worship around the throne.
They go back and forth from the throne room of God.
God has more creation than just us.
He's made wonderful animals.
That's why there's such a harmony in creation because it was created by God.
And so when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living being say, come or go.
And remember, NC is not in the original text of the Bible.
It's just saying, go.
And there went out another horse that was red.
This in the Greek.
And you can write in the margins of your Bible some of these meanings because it'll help you when you go back to study.
You know, I have a Bible that's so marked up that it's almost hard to read, but it's my friend.
I won't even send it to the binder to get fixed because I do not want to lose that Bible because I have made it my friend, and your Bible should be your friend.
But right there, that horse that's red, it's flame-colored or fire-like.
So this horse is a fire horse.
This horse is a fiery horse.
This horse is fiery red, flame-colored, or fire-like.
So there went out a horse that was red, flame-colored, fire-like, and power.
And actually, power is not in the Greek.
I'm sorry.
Boy, I hate to say some of these things, but it's not important because it means the same thing with or without the word.
But it came, and there was a red horse.
There went out another horse that was red and was given to him that sat thereon to take peace.
And in the Greek, it means peace and prosperity.
Peace and prosperity.
War hurts prosperity to take peace and prosperity from the earth, that they should kill one another, butcher, slaughter, maim violently, suicide bombing, terrorism.
This is that what this is talking about.
This is awesome warfare.
We haven't gotten to the end of the verse yet.
The first part here is literally, if you study this in the Greek, and this is to kill, that they should kill, literally in the Greek means to butcher, to slaughter, to maim violently.
31 Prophecies Revealed 00:02:53
I believe this first part is writing already.
It's terrorism.
It's suicide bombing.
It's the kind of thing that's going on even at high schools, at workplaces.
That's just the beginning of sorrows.
This is a small picture.
God spoke to me several years ago when he showed me 9-11.
And then in the middle of the night, I have a dream, and God showed me 31 things that would happen.
And in 1999, he showed me on New Year's Eve, he showed me the bombing in New York.
It's on tape.
I have it back at the counter if you ever want to hear it.
God showed me.
There would be a bomb in New York City, and there would be an explosion, actually, explosion in New York City, an explosion in Washington, D.C. at the top military location.
Said terrorism.
I saw people screaming.
I had no idea what it was, except it was New York and Washington, D.C. God spoke to me at that same time that there would be coming poisoning of our water.
Great airplanes would crash.
This is part of this whole 31 things, and I'm going to tie those 31 things into Revelation as we go along, just to share.
You can accept them because anything that is a prophetic word, you can test it out from the word and see if it comes true or not.
But these things have come true.
About, I'd say over half of them have already come about.
Unbelievable things.
But I believe we've never seen such a day where they will kill and slaughter and maim.
Can you imagine a little vial could kill a million people in New York City?
They're so worried now about airplanes that spray bug killers and all, that the enemy, a suicide bomber, literally person doesn't even care if they live or die, would fly over our cities and spray germ warfare and poisons that would paralyze and kill people by the millions.
We're living in an unbelievable hour of time.
Terrorism's Cost 00:03:33
The hour that my father was born in could not have been this hour.
We are sophisticated violently.
So let's read back for this.
It is an important verse.
And there went out another horse that was red, fire-like, flame-colored, and was given to him that sat thereon to take peace and prosperity was given to him that sat thereon to take peace and prosperity from the earth that they should kill, butcher one another.
Terrorism takes away prosperity.
Terrorism takes away prosperity.
The Iraqi war has cost the United States $70 billion.
That's one little war.
That's one little war.
We've got situations all over the world that if we have to keep putting out all these world fires, 9-11, listen to this.
The 9-11 attack, the suicide attack, the terrorism.
Now listen to me.
If you don't think the horse, the red horse is already starting to ride, that takes away prosperity, the attack at 9-11, when it happened, we had a $200 billion surplus in the federal government of the United States of America.
Are you hearing me?
$200 billion surplus.
Today, we have a $300 billion deficit.
How much has gone down?
Anybody do the math on it?
$500 billion lost to the federal government alone.
Yes, 3,000 lives were killed, but it devastated New York State.
It's cost $95 billion just for New York City alone.
3,000 dead, 83,000 jobs lost in New York City, 300,000 jobs lost in New York State.
It has cost totally the United States so far.
How many pilots flew?
Three pilots managed to crash their planes.
Actually, four were the one that hit the ground.
So we'll say four pilots, maybe eight men.
How much did they cost America?
They cost us freedom.
They've hurt Branson because our travel is down because people don't even want to get on airplanes.
But it has lost so far, totally, as much as they can figure out that one little act of eight people, Laurie, eight people.
One trillion dollars.
This red horse has the power to take peace and prosperity from the country.
Great Sword of Violence 00:15:54
Let's go on.
This is just the beginning of this one verse.
And they should kill, butcher, slaughter, maim violently one another.
And there was given unto him a great, a great sword.
Now, you can't even have room enough in your margin to write what great means in the Greek.
This sword, we just heard about terrorism.
These are small swords.
This terrorism is a mini kind of violence.
But look what it's done.
Have you heard about the suitcase bombs that are floating around the world?
They believe somewhere in the United States.
One of the prophets told me there is one in the United States.
He knows for sure.
The Spirit of God spoke to him.
There's a nuclear bomb.
Here's what this bomb is.
There was given to them a great, and here's what this word great means in the Greek.
Fear.
Exceedingly great.
The greatest.
The high, the large, loud, mighty, sore afraid, strong mega sword.
We'll hit sword next.
But can you imagine?
This is a great sword, an exceedingly great.
The greatest, the highest, the largest, the loudest, the mightiest, the sore afraid, the strong, the mega sword.
I believe this mega sword is the nuclear warfare.
It's the nuclear bomb.
It's the atomic bombs.
These are awesome warfare, and they are all over the world today.
We don't even know where they all are.
Bin Laden supposedly has some.
We have no idea where they are.
I believe the prophet Joel saw this great sword or bomb.
They had no words to say bomb in the last days when they wrote this down.
They didn't know what a bomb was.
So warfare was referred to as swords.
Go over to Joel chapter 2.
I just want you to see something.
Joel chapter 2.
I hope we have enough time.
I want to finish the four horses on this session to give you an overview.
Can you see why we're sleeping, why we're entertained, why we're drugged, why we're alcoholed to death, why we're drugged to death, why we're living in an hour of entertainment on television.
I saw clips of television that I couldn't believe.
I had no idea.
What's that show, honey?
That cartoon show the kids are watching these days.
I don't even.
Something.
What's that?
South Park.
Is it South Park?
And they have Jesus as a cartoon character.
They have Jesus laying on the ground fighting and just.
And we take it as normal.
Do you all know what's going on at all?
We have been anesthetized.
We are blaspheming the God.
The Bible says, blessed is the nation whose Lord is God Almighty.
I want to be on his side.
I'm telling you, there's no, you think our bombs will work?
You think our bombs will save us?
Joel 2.3 This is, I think, explaining the red flame-colored fire-like horse.
Listen to this.
This is Joel, the prophet of the Old Testament, thousands of years ago.
A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame burneth.
The land is the Garden of Eden before them.
It's like a garden, beautiful green.
And behind them, a desolate wilderness, yea, and nothing shall escape them.
What is this?
I believe it's the atomic warfare that just incinerates everything.
And the appearance of them is the appearance of horses and as horsemen, so they shall run like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains.
They didn't know how to describe it.
Here, the prophet Joel sees this thing in the spirit, sees jet airplanes, sees atomic warfare.
And he says, it's like chariots up on the tops of mountains.
Honey, nothing flew back then but birds.
So Joel's trying to say it was up in the sky.
It was like the noise of chariots roaring as they roar on the tops of mountains.
He's trying to describe the jet airplane.
He's trying to describe the roaring up in the sky and what it sounded like.
He saw airplanes.
They've seen it throughout the Bible.
You can see it, the arrows and all that fly by day and night and those chariots jostling one another and fiery chariots.
They saw today.
The prophets of old saw it.
It's so clear if you study it.
Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains, shall they leap?
Listen to this.
Like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble.
Any farmers here?
Anybody been out where the fields are in the plains, where fields are blazed with fire and the winds whipping up and hear them roar and they whine like the engine of a jet airplane?
Anybody here ever know what I'm talking about?
Anybody ever hear that?
The whining of the wind blowing and burning the fields?
It roars.
Here's this prophet trying to explain something in English or whatever, not English and Hebrew or whatever he's speaking in back in the Old Testament time.
He's trying to explain it.
He's trying to explain it to the, so it makes sense to him.
He's writing down with the vocabulary that he has, and he says, It's like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains, shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble.
As a strong people said in battle array, before their faces, the people shall be much pained.
Listen to this.
All faces shall gather blackness.
I studied the bombing of Hiroshima.
They said the people turned black.
Miles away, the people were black.
It said their skin melted off their bodies in huge sheets.
And here's how one man described it as they walked out of the city of Hiroshima after we bombed them.
He said it looked like a ghost parade from hell.
Eyeballs melted out of the sockets.
Joel is talking about all faces, all people shall be much pained.
All faces shall gather blackness.
Just the fallout from an atomic bomb is devastating.
Matthew 24 says, And you shall hear wars and rumors of wars.
See that you be not troubled, for these things must come to pass.
We've already been through that time, but the end is not yet.
For nation, tribes, ethnic groups shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.
We're in a day of rising up.
Did you ever think you'd live in a day where the United States would start wars?
We start wars all over the world now.
We go to warfare.
And this has not been the norm for America.
And ethnic cleansing.
We've been through that period of time where it's still going on.
Even in Africa, one tribe will kill another tribe.
One group will kill another group.
It's all over the world.
Slaughter, death, famine.
How do we overcome this evil time?
Not with human warfare.
You're not going to be a survival by human warfare.
This is demonic warfare.
This is a spirit of sin and Satan.
How do you fight people who will die for their God?
How do you defeat people who will fly an airplane into a building and kill themselves knowing that they're going to go to their heaven, they think anyway?
Are you here?
You better have the supernatural power of God living inside of you.
Because you need not fear if Jesus is in your heart.
You say, Jim, this is terrible teaching.
This is horrible.
I don't like it.
Well, who does?
So do you want to hide our heads on the ground because we don't want to hear the truth?
Do you want to play and laugh and laugh and drink and be married?
For tomorrow we die?
That's what the world is doing.
That's what the younger generation is doing.
They know we're committing suicide.
So they just say, party hardy because we're going to die anyway.
It's not time to party.
It's time for the sackcloths and ashes.
It's time to humble ourselves before God.
It's time to repent and turn from our wicked ways.
And God says, if you'll pray and turn, I'll hear in heaven and I'll heal your land.
That's the only hope.
That's the only hope.
There is hope.
But in this condition we're in, it's hopeless without turning, without God.
Let's hurry along.
How do we overcome this evil time?
Go to Ephesians 6.10.
Ephesians 6.10, what are we going to do?
What is this warfare all about?
Ephesians 6, chapter 6, verse 10.
Finally, finally, be strong.
Go down to the gym and work out.
No, no, that's not what it says.
Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
People think you're stupid today when you talk about the power of God or strong in God.
They don't even get it.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and mighty in his power.
Put on the full armor of God.
You've heard this over and over and over and over.
But this is what it's all about.
It's for the last days so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
The devil is scheming.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood.
We're in a spiritual warfare time.
This white horse is all spiritual warfare.
This red horse is a warfare that is evil.
This is a warfare against good and evil.
It's a warfare in a spirit of religion, a warfare that is in, it's in wickedness in literally high places.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the power of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Are you hearing me?
And you think we can build tanks?
You think we can build warfare that will fight this war?
Uh-uh.
You'd have better be on God's side.
Therefore, put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes, the day that we're living in right now, you may be able to stand your ground and after you've done everything to stand, stand firm.
Then, with the belt of truth buckled around you, your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, that's not talked about much anymore.
Holiness is not talked about much anymore.
And with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace, we need the word of God.
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all.
Say all.
The flaming arrows of the red horse, the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
We have a famine of the word of God today, people.
We have a famine.
We have it in our churches.
I've gone to services where a preacher will read two words and then make them say something that's not even about what's in the Bible.
You know, it's like looking down and saying, a bow.
And you say, oh, God wants you to wear a bow in your hair because that would be something.
And my daughter wears bows in her hair, you know that?
And, you know, bows are a nice thing.
And I mean, that sounds ridiculous, but that's what we do with the word of God.
Silver-tongued orators, taking great swelling words, the Bible calls them.
Take up the shield of faith, which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Verse 17, take the helmet of salvation, born again through the blood of Jesus Christ, the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
You must have the word.
And listen to this, verse 18.
And pray in the spirit.
On all occasions, with all kinds of prayers and requests.
With this in mind, be alert.
Be alert.
We are an adult generation.
I've seen 20-year-olds that are so dulled out on drugs that you can hardly talk to them.
The Bible says, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
Pray one for another and you'll be healed.
Confess your faults one to another.
Pray for one another and you'll be healed.
It's the church.
It's the body of Christ that's going to survive.
You fulfill all the teachings of Christ by doing one thing, bearing one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Here in this last part of this word, keep on praying for each other.
Keep on believing God.
Preach the Word 00:12:45
Keep on praying and encouraging.
The power is in the church.
I'm not talking about a steeple.
I'm talking about you.
I'm talking about people.
I'm talking about the body of Christ, not just the different church denominations.
That could be, the church is in those churches.
It's the body of Christ.
It's you and I.
It's the believers.
That's where the power is.
These last days.
Be alert, not drugged with the things of the world.
Look at 2 Timothy 12.
2 Timothy 3, verse 12.
We're almost done.
You get to go home.
Back to your televisions.
We are a television generation, aren't we?
2 Timothy 3, 12.
2 Timothy 3, 12.
2 Timothy 3, 12, what does it say?
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
That'd improve quick, wouldn't it?
Say all.
All that will live godly in Jesus Christ, in Christ, the Messiah, Jesus, shall suffer persecution.
Did it say some?
All.
I heard people say, well, I have no problems because you're living like the devil, probably.
The devil doesn't go after his own.
He's got him.
He's like the black widow spider.
The devil, he eats you in the end.
He kills you in the end.
He courts you and dances with you and takes you on a party.
And in the end, he's got syphilis, AIDS.
He's got all the party diseases, all the stuff.
And then he kills you.
He's a dirty devil.
Did you know that?
But evil men, verse 13 of 2 Timothy 3, 13, but evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
Many who are preaching false gospel today are deceived.
I was deceived.
I'm not saying I have all the light on anything, but I'm telling you, I preached another gospel.
I preached too much love of money.
I preached above all, God wants you to prosper.
And I believed it because it was right there in the King James Bible.
But when I got in prison and I had to sit down and face God and read the Bible 16 hours a day, I realized there's no way on God's earth that God would say above all, he wants you to prosper.
There's no way on God's earth.
It's wrong translation.
And I've said it many, many times.
But how could God say, above all, I want you to prosper when God says, above all, you're to love God.
And above all, next to your loved neighbor is yourself.
And how could he say, above your salvation, God wants you to be rich?
That's how we interpret that verse.
Well, I'll tell you, before we're through, I'm going to tear up the prosperity gospel and chew it up and spit it out, and you won't even believe it.
I'm going to take every single verse before we're through.
You may not stay with me, but I'll preach it by myself then.
I'll put it on tape and send it out to somebody.
But I'll tell you one thing: I'm going to give you every word.
I challenge you to read my book, Prosperity and the Coming Apocalypse.
I take all the prosperity verses and I put them back in the Bible.
And every prosperity verse, almost to the T, when you put it back in the chapter that it was taken out of, the very chapter it's pulled out of refutes the twisting of that scripture.
I mean, when I started reading about Jesus, and Jesus said, you know, it's almost impossible for the rich to go to heaven as for the camel to go through the eye of a needle.
And Jesus said, you can't serve God in mammon or money.
And Jesus said, Woe unto the rich.
And Jesus talked about if you love the world, in the things of the world, the love of the Father's not in you.
How can you equate this?
How can we be preaching the love of money like we do in the churches today?
We just talk about money, money, And then somebody got a revelation a while back that in the middle of a sermon, you're supposed to bring money up and give it to the preacher, not to the poor.
Pour it on the preachers.
They say, Don't even give to the poor.
That's a new doctrine.
Don't give to the poor.
Give to the rich preachers.
We have preachers today, they live like gods, not kings, gods.
I know one ministry that you know and love.
They have a half a billion dollars in the bank and they're still raising money from you.
You know it's unscriptural what's going on.
If you sit here long enough to hear me, you know, if you know, if you read any Bible, if you read through your Bible, even devotional, it's got to scream out to you the things that God says, the things that Jesus said.
You know what is being preached today.
Why?
It is a feel-good preaching.
It makes you feel happy.
It's a happy gospel.
It's got music.
It's got fun.
It's got excitement.
It's got, you are good.
You are wonderful.
You are a great woman.
You are a great man of God.
And you are awesome.
And you can get money.
And God loves you.
And He doesn't want you to be the tail.
He wants you to be the head.
And all I mean, we just build ourselves up and up.
And it's opposite of what Jesus taught.
Jesus said, Blessed are the humble, the meek.
He never said, Blessed are the arrogant.
You read this book.
I challenge you.
Find one place.
God said, Blessed are the arrogant.
Every king that raised up against God came down.
2 Timothy chapter 4.
Verse 1.
Oh, my time's gone already.
What's going on here?
Somebody setting the watches ahead.
Some of you are thrilled, aren't you?
You got to get out of here.
This is too hot.
I charge thee, therefore, before God, are you there?
2 Timothy 4:1.
You got to follow me.
I might be preaching wrong doctrine.
You better check it out.
You better follow.
Follow the word.
I charge thee, therefore, before God in the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick.
That means the live, the living.
Jesus comes quickly for the living.
He's going to judge.
This is the rapture, I believe, with all my heart.
I charge thee, therefore, God, in the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick, the living, and the dead at his appearing in brightness, it says in the Greek.
His appearing is going to be bright because he's brighter than the sun.
Oh, wait till we get down the road.
Just a few more chapters.
We are going to find the coming of the Lord.
And his kingdom, his royal realm.
It says, Preach, preach the word.
Herald as a public crier, Pastor.
We're supposed to cry out.
You know, you get upset because I preach so loud sometimes, but man, I feel like screaming and running and tipping tables over sometimes because this thing is inside of me.
I'm trying to wake people up.
I don't want you to go to hell.
I don't want you to be involved with this world.
I don't want you to be in love with the Antichrist.
He's a deceiver.
Let's look at Jesus.
He said, We're to preach, Herald as a public crier, especially divine truth, the gospel, the word, Jesus Christ.
Be instant.
Be present right now.
Stand upon it instantly, it says, in season.
You know what that in season means?
When it's convenient.
And then out of season, when it's inconvenient.
That's what it means in the Greek.
So preach the gospel when it's convenient or unconvenient.
When you got the flu, Pastor, like we do.
And when you're dying and when you're happy, preach the word.
God will anoint it.
It's his word.
It won't return void.
Reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine instruction.
That means.
For the time will come when they will not endure, put up with sound doctrine.
We are there, people.
Sound doctrine means healthy, uncorrupted doctrine.
Word, teaching, doctrine, teaching.
But after their own lust shall heap to themselves, seek teachers.
They will seek teachers.
Why isn't there 10,000 people here?
We can't see them, but why wouldn't they come?
Because we have people will travel across the country to hear their ears tickled.
But after their own lust shall heap to themselves teachers having itching ears.
It means tickling in the Greek.
They want their ears tickled.
Tickle their fancy.
They want to be tickled.
They want to be built up.
They want to be told how good they are.
They are living in sin.
Our youth of this generation in the church, they're all shacking up.
Not all of them, I shouldn't say all, but a big percentage of them.
In the church, it's proven fact from Gary Smalley's organization and all the surveys they've taken that about 95% of the youth, by the time they're in their teens, are having sex in the church the same as they would in the world.
We want to go where we can be tickled.
We want to go where we're built up.
We don't want to face the word.
We've got promise box religion.
We want to hear all the good things, but we don't want to face the conditions we have to meet in order to receive that blessing.
Tickle their ears, itching ears, and they shall turn away, pervert their ears from the truth.
Are you hearing me?
You only got a minute left.
So listen, give me one more minute.
And they shall turn away, pervert their ears from the truth, and shall be turned into fables.
They will turn the gospel into fiction or myth.
I don't want to embarrass my dear sister who happens to be here from one of the local bookstores.
But I'm telling you, she could probably tell me how many books are written today by the church that are fiction.
We never used to hardly even had a fiction category.
I imagine probably the biggest category of books in the Christian bookstores today are fiction.
Fantasy.
Even fiction about the book of Revelation.
Fiction about the last days that are preparing people that are going to be so in disammay, disarray that they won't know what to do.
So here we have the Bible warning us, and they shall turn away.
They shall pervert their ears from the truth and shall be turned into fiction.
Christian fiction is just as bad as any other fiction, folks.
Why do we want to go to fiction when we got the word of the living God?
We haven't even studied this.
Well, there ought to be a movie made of Revelation.
It's awesome.
I mean, a truth movie.
Bewatch, but watch thou in all things.
Endure affliction.
Do the work of an evangelist.
Make full proof of thy ministry.
For I'm not ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
I have fought a good fight.
Here's Paul.
I have finished my course, my race.
I have kept the faith.
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous, holy, pure judge, shall give me at that day.
Horse of Shock 00:01:12
And not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
He's coming back.
Hallelujah.
Oh, folks, I didn't get to the last horse.
We'll have to do that next time.
And it's a big horse.
It's a horse that is riding.
It's a horse that's going to blow your mind.
It's a horse that will shock you.
The things that God showed me as I studied this in prison, it was overwhelming to me.
So we will deal with this next horse.
And we will deal.
We've got actually, what do we have?
Two more horses to go?
Forgive me.
I thought for sure I'd get all the horses in today.
But we have some scripture to share with you.
And then this last pale horse will shock you.
This pale horse will shock you.
It's actually a pale, sick, green horse.
And they're all riding today.
