Hello PTL Network Friends 00:04:16
Hello and welcome to the Jim Baker Family Show coming to you from the village of Morningside, USA, nestled in the beautiful Ozark Mountains.
Today we look at more prophetic words for this new year from our good friends Michael Snyder, Derek and Sharon Gilbert, Dr. James Tan, Bishop Ron Webb, and Jennifer LeClaire on what they see coming in 2025.
Our co-host today is Reverend Mondo De La Vega.
And now, live from Grace Druid at Morningside, USA, here's your host, Pastor Ricky Baker.
Hello, you're watching the PTL Television Network, friends.
We love the fact that you're tuning on with us today.
This is something you're not going to want to miss.
We will have words, prophetic words from people that we love and we trust.
Mondo, these are some of the most incredible words for 2025 that I've heard anywhere, and they've been brought directly for our viewership here at the PTL Television Network.
Biblically sound.
That's right.
Tested, tried.
And I want to tell you something.
Biblically, we have to have principles in how we share words for 2025.
And the men and women of God that you're presenting today are backed by the word.
That's right.
You know, 2020, whenever the PTL Television Network rebirthed, we made a statement and a mandate that we would never censor the gospel, that we would never take people and say, hey, you can't talk about this particular issue going on right now along the world.
You can't talk about this and that.
We have made it to where there's an uncensored, unfiltered network where the pastor can come preach his message, where the prophet can come share the word from the Lord.
And Mondo, where the everyday speaker can say, you know what?
I have a place where I'm comfortable to share what God has given me.
And that is the PTL television network.
You have to give.
The Bible talks about give where you are fed.
Amen.
This is a biblical principle that it's a win-win for you, for this ministry, because we're bringing you people that are fitting you spiritually.
But at the same time, you are to be a part of that blessing as well.
Amen.
I really believe you are going to be a part of that blessing.
We've started this with the help of Pastor Jim Baker.
He is still the brilliant mind behind pretty much everything that happens here.
You may not see him because he's recovering, but friends, he is still actively involved.
He still advises the majority of things that happen here as he sees fit.
But friends, we are now entering this place where we are on our finished line fundraiser.
What this is, is this is going to allow us to be completely debt-free as a ministry.
And friends, we'll be able to start distributing again on more television stations, more platforms, and get the gospel out that Jesus is coming back soon.
And as we see events taking place, such as what we're watching in California, we're watching in, of course, the Midwest with turn of events of weather.
We are watching the body of Christ coming together.
And this is where this ministry has been called to be at the forefront, but we can't do it without help.
That's right.
We need your help.
Today, we have special messages from Michael Snyder, Derek and Sharon Gilbert, Dr. James Tan, Bishop Ron Webb, and Jennifer LeClaire on what they see coming in 2025.
Now, when we invite these individuals to come on our broadcast and share their heart, like I said, we're not doing that saying, well, these are the things you should talk about.
These are the things you shouldn't talk about.
We're giving them an uncensored, unfiltered platform where they can share the word of the Lord.
Friend, I want you to start watching this as we begin to play these videos from our friends from around the world.
During the most dramatic chapter in all of human history, this is such an exciting time to be alive.
You know, during the campaign, Elon Musk, he got up there on the stage at one of the Trump rallies and he said, the future is going to be awesome.
You may have seen that clip.
It was an amazing clip.
And I agree with Elon Musk about that.
Future is going to be awesome, but not exactly for the reasons that he thinks.
Killing Targets, Worsening Disasters 00:08:08
Because, you know, a lot of people think peace, prosperity, amazing, wonderful, prosperous times are ahead.
But my playbook is the Bible.
That's my playbook.
That's my textbook.
And in terms of a blueprint for what's ahead, a lot of people want to know what Michael Snyder thinks about 2025 and beyond.
And I just point to the Bible.
I point to the Word of God.
And that's what I'm all about.
Because everything I do, you know, my articles, my interviews, my books, my videos, everything I do is trying to point people to Jesus Christ.
And what's coming in 2025 and beyond, I think that we see it.
We see it in Matthew chapter 24.
We see it in Revelation chapter 6 in terms of what we are moving toward, what is in our future.
And what is in our future is what's been trending the past few years.
And one of the things is war.
Now, this time last year, you know, we had war, but, you know, in terms of the last 12 months, where we've been trending with war, where we've been trending with war is now we have U.S. missiles and missiles from France and the United Kingdom, which are being fired into Russia, killing Russians.
And it's put us literally on the brink of World War III.
Yeah, Ukraine is pressing the button, but they're just a launching pad.
U.S. missiles and French and British missiles are being given to Ukraine.
They're firing them, but then we're literally picking the targets with our satellite technology and guiding them to the targets.
So it's our missiles, and we're literally guiding them to the targets.
But we're saying, oh, we've given them Ukraine.
We don't have anything to do with it.
That's nonsense, of course.
That's nonsense.
So, and that's the way the Russians see it.
They say, hey, look, these are your missiles.
You're guiding them to the targets.
You're a direct participant in the war.
If you keep this up, you're bringing us to the brink of nuclear war.
And the Russia and our officials, our leaders say, oh, they're bluffing.
They really wouldn't do it.
But we really are on the brink of nuclear war.
So over the last 12 months, have we gotten closer to nuclear war, apocalyptic war, the kind of war we see in the book of Revelation?
Or are we less close?
Are we more close or less close?
We're more close.
We've gotten closer.
And so war, we're trending that direction.
In terms of disease, pestilence, today, today, right before I recorded this video, there is an article linked to by the Vedrudge Report.
Unknown flu-like disease targeting women and children kills 143 people in just two weeks.
As WHO launches urgent probe that's coming out of the Congo, out of Central Africa, there's this new mysterious flu-like disease.
Nobody knows what it is, what's causing it, but it's killing a lot of people.
It's killing women, it's killing children, it's on the loose, it's out of control, they don't know where it came from.
So is this going to blow up into something really big?
I don't know.
Could this be the next global pandemic?
I don't know.
But man, that's alarming.
You know, we've also got the bird flu, which killed more than 100 million chickens and turkeys in the United States and Europe alone.
Now it's back with a resurgence.
That's why there's an egg shortage in supermarkets right now across the country.
But in addition, it's gotten into the cows.
And literally, the Los Angeles Times has reported how dairy cows are piling up on the sides of the highways there in California because so many cows are dying from it.
Now it's gotten into humans.
We're also watching monkeypox also erupted in recent months in Central Africa.
You know, it's in terms of this strain of the monkeypox spreads far more easily in far more ways than the last one did and a far, far higher death rate than the previous strain.
So we're watching that.
There's been a confirmed case in California already, confirmed cases in Europe and Asia.
So it's gotten out of Central Africa, started to pop up different places around the globe.
So in looking back in terms of pestilence, where are we compared to 12 months ago?
It's gotten a whole lot worse over the last 12 months.
So we're trending the wrong direction with pestilence, another major theme that we've been watching.
And so that's another area.
We're trending the wrong direction.
Then our economic problems, of course, during the Biden administration, we've had inflation, so many problems with the cost of living.
People are getting poor.
Homelessness is at an all-time high.
I was just reading about how demand at food banks is back to pandemic levels, but we don't have a pandemic now.
We don't have lockdowns now, but demand at food banks, because so many people are impoverished.
They're poor.
They can't afford enough food.
Demand at food banks in the U.S. is back to where it was during the worst times of the pandemic.
You know, we've got 48% of all small business renters couldn't afford to pay rent.
And that's back to pandemic levels.
But we don't have lockdowns.
We don't have a pandemic now, but it's getting worse.
So in terms of our economic direction, we're trending the wrong direction.
And we're seeing this all over the world.
China's economy is in disarray.
I just read an article today about how France is literally, their government's collapsing.
And a big reason why is because their financial situation, their economic, big problems there.
Germany is facing the worst economic crisis since World War II.
All over the world right now, there's economic problems that are erupting.
Things are worse than they were 12 months ago, trending in the wrong direction.
And then we've got natural disasters.
Over the last 12 months, we've seen Hurricane Helene, probably the worst natural disaster in the United States, the costliest natural disaster since at least Hurricane Katrina.
A lot of people believe it's going to surpass it in terms of total damage done.
And then we've had so many others.
In fact, $24 billion disasters in the United States alone this year.
And we're right on the verge of surpassing the all-time record we set last year.
Last year, we set an all-time record for billion-dollar disasters.
We're on the verge of breaking it here in 2024.
So in terms of where we've been trending, we set an all-time record last year.
We're getting ready to break it this year.
Over the past few years, we're trending the wrong direction with natural disasters.
Meanwhile, the sun's become so active, sending sunspots and solar storms erupting, causing problems.
We just had an asteroid within the last 24 hours of when I'm recording this.
An asteroid came toward Earth.
A scientist only discovered it seven hours in advance.
It exploded over Russia.
It didn't hit us because it was just real small.
So all these things have intensified in 2024, as I warned about.
But now I expect further intensification in 2025.
But now, in terms of moving forward, we've got a wild card because we've got Donald Trump coming in.
So can he do something about our march toward war where the Biden administration has literally brought us to the brink of World War III?
Things are going crazy in the Middle East with Israel and Syria and Iran and Hezbollah.
Can Trump do something to interrupt the march toward war?
He's a wild card.
Can he do something in terms of economic problems here in the United States and globally?
A Lot Trending Right 00:14:02
Is Trump going to play a role?
Is he going to change the trajectory of events in terms of where we're moving?
It's a good question.
We'll see.
Trump's coming in.
How is he going to change things?
I don't know.
He's just a man.
He's just one man.
So we've got a lot going on around the world, a lot trending the wrong direction.
But, or if you want to look at it in terms of the Bible, a lot is trending the right direction in terms of Bible prophecy and the end times and a lot of the birth pains that must happen before we get to the end.
And it really will be the most dramatic chapter in all of human history.
And we get to be alive for it.
And yeah, on the one hand, it'll be the worst of times.
And on the other hand, it'll be the best of times because I believe God saved the best for last.
I believe the greatest move of God in the history of the world is coming.
I believe the greatest harvest of souls that the world has ever seen is ahead of us.
I believe that this is going to be the greatest hour for the church, the greatest hour for the people of God.
And you get to be for it.
And you've got a job to do.
And it's a different, each one of us has a different job.
I can't do your job.
You can't do my job.
Each one of us has our own mission, our own job.
We're all part of a team.
So if we all try to do the same thing, it wouldn't work because each member of the team, each member of the body has a unique function.
And we all need to be firing all cylinders for it to work.
So you got a job to do.
You've got a mission to do.
God put you here for a reason.
And if you didn't think you could handle what's ahead, he wouldn't have put you here.
So he put you here.
God believes in you.
God trusts you.
He has a job for you to do.
And that's something to be excited about.
So I am excited about 2025.
I can't wait to see what's going to happen.
I want to have a bigger impact than ever before.
I want to reach more people.
You know, that's why I wrote my new book entitled Why It's a Soul-Winning Book Like I've Never Seen Before.
One reader even gave, has already given out 20 copies because he believes in it so much that it's a soul-winning book.
He wants to see people get saved.
He wants to see people pointed to Jesus Christ.
And so, you know, that's why I've done this because I want to reach more people.
I want to do more.
That should be the perspective of all of us.
A new year is coming.
Man, what can we do for Christ?
What can we do for the kingdom?
What can we do to make a difference?
We want our lives to count for something.
Because when I was young, someone told me, life is like a coin.
You can spend it any way you want, but you can only spend it once.
So spend your life on things that really matter.
Spend your life on things that are going to make a difference.
This is the time for the people of God to arise and be everything that they were created to be.
So get excited for the year ahead.
I love you guys.
I'm thankful for you guys.
And I can't wait to see what all of us working together will do in 2025.
Greetings in the precious name of Jesus.
I'm Bishop Ron Wam, and we bring you greetings in the name of the Lord.
We honor, amen, Pastor Jim and Lori Baker, and we certainly thank God for our host, Pastor Ricky Baker, and to the entire Baker family.
I'm so excited, ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, to see the ending of one year and then the beginning of another.
Well, you know, the ending of one things is just the beginning of something new.
I'm sensing a new thing.
God's doing a new thing.
There's been a shifting and a shaking.
And my God, we've seen a lot of things in 2024.
And it was declared that it was a year of great exposure.
But I'm declaring in 2025 that it's a year of expansion in the kingdom of God.
My prayer, and I pray that it's your prayer as well, that we will have the spirit of Issachar.
The men of Issachar had an understanding of the times and the seasons.
And the Bible says they knew what Israel was supposed to do.
I'm praying in 2025 that God will release a spirit of discernment upon his leaders, ladies and gentlemen, and great wisdom, praise God, and revelation to what to do in these last days.
It's one thing to know what God said, but it's something else to know what God is saying now.
Well, I'm sensing, you know, the number 25.
There are many biblical meanings that follow that number.
20 is the number of redemption.
5 is the number of grace.
So I believe in 2025, we're going to see great grace, grace upon grace, and the glory of the Lord is going to fill the earth.
Isaiah chapter 60 in verse 1 is one of my favorite scriptures, and it reads, Arise, amen, and shine, for the light has come and the glory of the Lord rises upon us.
And then he talks about the gross darkness, amen, that covers all the nations of the earth.
But the glory of the Lord, let me tell you, we're seeing, it's almost like we're in a dark day.
But listen, the darker the dark is, the brighter the light shines.
So I want to encourage you as leaders, amen.
It also means spiritual awakening.
I believe there's a shaking and a shifting.
There's been a sifting, but there's going to be a spiritual awakening, amen, in this last hour.
It's revival time.
And let me tell you, my brothers and sisters, we're seeing new leadership, amen, come into play.
When we look around the world, there's wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, diverse places, kingdoms rise against kingdoms.
And the list goes on.
Matthew 24 is being fulfilled right before our eyes.
And early on in the end of 2024, the Lord began to speak to me about three things: weather, amen, and war.
Those two things kept just boiling up in my spirit.
He said there would be weather.
Watch the weather.
And then he says there are wars.
And then he says, water, water, weather, wars.
The three W, WWW.
Praise God.
And those are things that we've got to keep our eyes on in 2025.
Not only that, it's a time of great restoration.
And I believe that we're going to see an influx of people running to God.
They're not running to big name preachers and they're not worried about famous leaders.
They're looking for men of flame and not, amen, men with a big name.
They're running to the altars of God saying, purify me, repentance.
Amen.
We're going to see that.
We're going to see revival break out in our country and around the world.
Because let me tell you, it's dark, my friends.
But the good news is Jesus is still the light of the world.
Praise God.
It's not in our denominations.
It's not in our organizations.
Amen.
It's in Jesus only.
I want to just share this with you.
I believe that we're in a great time of change and transition.
And I heard the word re, the word re, R-E, rewhat revival.
Re-what?
Restoration.
Praise God.
Redemption.
Renewal.
And I can go on and on and on.
And reformation.
I believe we're about to see reformation, restoration.
All these things are coming into play.
But none of these things happen until we repent.
Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, 2 Chronicles 7:14, I stand on that word that if my people, amen, those that name the name of the Lord, which are called by my name, would humble themselves, seek the face of God, and begin to pray, turn from their wicked ways.
God made us a promise that he will forgive our sins and he'll heal the land.
We're praying that God will heal the lands of America.
Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, I want to encourage, amen, the men of God to stay on the wall.
Don't come down.
Declare the word.
Preach the gospel.
Amen.
We don't need motivational speakers and we don't need coaches.
Amen.
In the pulpit.
We need preachers of the gospel.
Amen.
Because let me tell you, Jesus is coming soon.
And it's our job to prepare the people for the coming of the Lord.
Amen.
Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, it's closer than you think.
Amen.
Famine is getting ready to hit the land like never before.
Food shortages.
And we're seeing war in multiple countries around the world right now.
And let me tell you something.
We're on the brink of it right now.
And not just the few countries that's in war.
It's going to be worldwide, everywhere.
God showed me water.
He showed me weather and war.
Those three words just kept popping up in my spirit.
But the good news is there's going to be a reformation.
There's going to be a change.
There's going to be a shifting.
We've already seen the shaking and God is still shaking.
But let me tell you, the good news is there is a kingdom that cannot be shaken.
And guess what?
We're a part of that kingdom.
God bless you.
Stay on the wall, Nehemiah.
Don't you come down.
Declare the word of the Lord.
God bless you.
What you just watched is incredible videos from our friends Michael Snyder and Bishop Ron Webb.
Mondo, what we are seeing here is truly people are having their ear to the ground, but also they're listening to what God has to say for 2025.
It's an incredible combination of events, but also an incredible coronation of people who, you know, Michael Snyder wouldn't call himself a prophet, but what he does a lot of the times is very prophetic.
Economically, biblically, where do we go?
Michael Snyder gives us an insight economically where we're headed.
And with Bishop Ron Webb, a pastor that is trusted by other pastors, and you need leadership behind the scenes to help us understand how to interpret.
Again, I go back to that, interpreting the time and the season that we have entered to.
We need men and women of God that have been given insight through the word on how we lead forward.
That's right.
And how we lead forward is very important, especially in the times we're living in where there's so much uncertainty.
You can turn on your television.
You can open up your phone, click on any social media website.
Sure, you might find the things that you enjoy for a little bit.
But, Mondo, eventually uncertainty is going to find its way onto your screen.
And I believe, friends, we have the one true, solid foundation that is Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone.
That is what the PTL network is dedicated to standing on.
We stand on the word of God.
We stand by the blood.
And we say there is going to be no ground for the devil to be given on the PTL television network.
We are going to continue to fight against the kingdom of darkness, but we do that through your help, through your donation, through your support.
That is the reason we can keep this network alive 24 hours a day and uncensored completely.
Friends, we do not want to have to give anybody parameters to speak, and we refuse to do that.
Yes, we have had people say, Hey, well, then we aren't going to be able to air you.
That's perfectly fine because we want to simply provide a platform for the preacher, prophet, and the people to come here and say, I'm going to share my heart without having to have fear.
Really, a lot of the times people will get cut off the air.
Yeah.
And the importance of partnership is so critical, especially where we're headed as a ministry, because together we're going to be able to make a difference and give you reports on the development of replacing this program on other outlets that we where we was where we were before all this hit.
And I want to tell you something.
It is so encouraging to know that what God has done through your giving has been a miracle.
Ricky, you told us the other day we went from what was the number that you gave us that we started to where we are right now.
And with your help, we're going to be able to do this and get to the finish line.
That's right.
You know, we were a debt-free ministry, no debt at all.
It was a beautiful time.
And then obviously there was a slew of governmental attacks and different agencies because we had a guest on our broadcast who said something about the COVID vaccine.
And obviously, we were the ones who had to end up paying for it, quite literally paying for it, getting attacked.
Mona, we were almost about $13 million worth of debt, but now we have reduced ourselves down to if we finish the, you know, cross this finish line, we need about $3.5 million and we'll be completely debt-free as a ministry, again, able to move forward.
And what an incredible, you know, year and a half-year process that has been to get us to this point, only through the faithfulness of God and through partnership, friend.
And we want to continue to say thank you for your partnership.
We want to continue to show you the men and women of God who are speaking.
We're going to play some more videos for you right now of powerful words.
Pay attention to this and realize that this PTL television network is never going to censor what these men and women of God are saying.
Eric and I spent a lot of time talking about what will happen in 2025.
And I think he's got some ideas.
Yeah, there are some serious things as we turn to the events that are coming up in 2025.
NATO vs. Russia: The Path to WWIII 00:03:39
We've been seeing a slow progression toward what in future may be called the first stages of World War III.
This began almost two and a half years ago, almost approaching three years ago now, with the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
I confess I didn't think Putin was going to do it when he did it, but he has slowly and methodically ground down the people of Ukraine to the point where they're facing the prospect of a lost generation.
And sadly, Western leaders, including the Biden administration and those behind it, have been pushing the Ukrainians to lower the conscription age from 25 to 18, which Ukrainians don't want to do because if you don't have any young men left, which is what they're afraid of, given the way the war has gone for them, they may not have a future as a country because you need to have healthy young people to have a next generation.
So the questions ahead in 2025: will President Vladimir Zelensky of Ukraine make a deal with Russia to end the war?
Well, incoming President Trump is advising him to do so.
Right, absolutely.
And we pray that he does so before Russia responds as they've threatened to do to Ukraine's use of Western-supplied and targeted missiles, the British Storm Shadow missiles, the American Attackums missiles, which Putin said in September of this year would constitute NATO's direct involvement in the war.
That is so true.
Well, so far, it's been a NATO versus Russia war, except NATO hasn't officially been involved, although they have been involved.
Now they are officially involved because they are firing missiles with British and U.S. advisors on the ground showing the Ukrainian soldiers how to fire them.
That's how Vietnam started.
We had advisors on the ground.
I'm telling you, this is going to blow up in Europe.
NATO versus Russia is going to go big, especially now that Russia has pulled out of Syria.
Yeah.
And with the involvement of other nations on the Russian side, China, North Korea actually sending troops to participate in the war there, this is in all but name World War III.
The other big question here, I think, is will China take advantage of Western preoccupation in Ukraine to reintegrate Taiwan?
They certainly are making moves like they will because they have surrounded Taiwan in several different ways, including using cyber warfare, but they've actually had ships, they've had planes.
Taiwan feels very threatened right now.
And because the U.S. is so heavily involved in Ukraine and now partially in the Middle East, I don't think the U.S. will have the assets to help.
Yeah, and even though we've got assets, when these war games have been run by think tanks in Washington, D.C. of the defense of Taiwan, sadly, again and again, it shows that it does not end well for the Taiwanese.
And this has global implications because most of the world's semiconductors come out of Taiwan.
So this is huge.
And many of the semiconductor rare metals come out of Africa.
DiseaseX Mystery 00:02:23
And right now in Africa, there are a couple of mystery diseases that are taking hold in Congo and Uganda.
In Congo, something that the media are calling DiseaseX.
Now, if you remember the Johns Hopkins tabletop exercise that was called DiseaseX, it was all about what if some disease that we don't see coming suddenly becomes a pandemic.
Well, the media love anything that's clickbait.
Is it DiseaseX?
Well, possibly it is being identified as of today.
It's being called a rare form of malaria.
In other words, a respiratory form of malaria because most of those who are affected have tested positive for it.
But malaria is very common in that area.
So it wouldn't be surprising that they had been exposed to malaria.
More will be coming out on that.
In Uganda, there's something that's being called the dancing disease.
Those who are afflicted, and I say affliction because it causes them to so convulse that it looks as if they're dancing.
No idea yet what is causing that, but I will tell you, beginning in March of, no, May, of 2025, should something like this be called an epidemic or a pandemic, suddenly the World Health Organization will be in charge of it.
And that means not just the disease, but the entire world telling everybody what to do.
Yeah, because they have classified misinformation, malinformation, and disinformation as an infodemic.
And because it's a demic, it falls under the World Health Organization's purview.
Now, we'll see if the Trump administration will go along with something like that, if that breaks out, but that's something to keep an eye on.
Prophetically speaking, we can't skip over what's happening in Israel and in Syria.
No, not at all.
We wanted to save that for last because honestly, as of today, the things going on in Syria are so, they change by the minute.
Mountain of Discernment 00:15:16
And some of those are so surprising.
I told you yesterday I expected the Druze to ask, please, Israel, can we come over there?
And you didn't think those around living in Jabel al-Druz would go.
But we've got a very good friend on the ground who says they want to.
Yes, our friend Avi Lipkin, who's been a longtime political analyst and activist in Israel, has reported this week as of this recording that the Druze in the southernmost part of Syria, along the border with Jordan, the region called Sueida, around the Mountain of the Druze, Jabel al-Druz, have added to the half dozen or so Druze villages bordering on the Golan Heights, Israel's part of the Golan Heights, and asking Israel to annex them.
Now, there's a big chunk of Sunni-held territory between Israel, the Golan Heights, and Suweda, but it's possible that that area, which is mainly a Bedouin Sunni community, the town of Dera on the border with Jordan, may prefer to be annexed by the Kingdom of Jordan than remain part of a Syria that's controlled by the fundamentalist Sunni rebels that took down the government of Bashar al-Assad.
This government, this group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS, an offshoot of al-Qaeda, was backed by Turkey.
You know, Erdogan, Richip Erdogan, has been making noises like he wants to be the top dog in the region and eventually top dog in the world.
He wants to be head of the new Ottoman Empire.
Right, right.
And it was just over 100 years ago that the Ottoman Empire broke up following World War I. Erdogan gave a speech last week as we're recording this where he said that Syria rightfully belongs to Turkey as part of the Ottoman Empire.
So he backed this group that took down Bashar al-Assad.
Assad was an Alawite, which is an offshoot of Shia Islam.
The Shias and the Sunnis don't get along.
The Druze do not identify as Muslim, Christian, or Jew, even though it's an offshoot of Shia Islam.
So you've got a number of factions vying for control of Syria.
Israel will probably wind up in control of a larger bit of territory.
Turkey probably controlling what HTS does, and Turkey being the location of all of the groups mentioned in the prophecy of the war of Gog and Magog, Meshech and Tubal and Beth Tagarmah and Gomer.
And the uttermost north is Yanakate Zephan.
Yes, that's a reference to Mount Tzephon, which is a mountain in Turkey near the border with Syria that was known in ancient times as the mountain sacred to Baal.
So you've got prophetic significance here, while at the same time, the Israelis have now captured and are possessing the summit of Mount Hermon and they're not leaving.
Isn't that amazing?
It really is.
Now, a couple of reasons this is important.
Number one, it's strategically important because the summit of Mount Hermon creates a huge blind spot for Israeli radars trying to see missiles and aircraft coming from the north.
Because right now the UN sits there.
Yeah, but they don't anymore because Israel now holds it.
But secondly, it's because that mountain is essentially the Canaanite Mount Olympus.
It's where they believed their gods met.
Israel now holds it.
That's got to drive the fallen angels nuts.
It is really got, and that's what all of this is leading to.
Since the, well, since the moment that Adam said, okay, that looks like a great fruit.
I think I'll have a bite.
Ever since then, there has been a spiritual war going on between the fallen realm with loyal angels helping, the Lord God Almighty is the greatest general ever, and humans in the middle.
There was probably something prior to that, but we're not going to get into that right now.
But just understand that Mount Hermon is ground zero for the fallen realm.
What's ground zero for the Lord?
Jerusalem.
Jerusalem, Zion.
And this is all about control of the Mount of Assembly.
That's a phrase that's found in Isaiah chapter 14.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning?
He wants to establish his throne in the heights of the north, the sides of the north, the Yarakate Sephon, Mount Sephon.
But the Mount of Assembly, Har Mo'ed, is the phrase, the Hebrew phrase from which John got the Greek phrase, Ar-Mageddon, except that it's for God's holy mountain, which is Zion, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
So 2025, moving a step closer toward that battle.
Will it happen in 2025?
I think that's a little too soon, but we're certainly a lot closer than we were 12 months ago.
I want to tell you, I am going to refer from now on, I'm referring to 2025 as the year of clear vision.
And I say that for a couple of reasons.
One is prophetically.
I think as we see things begin to unfold and it becomes obvious, this is fulfillment, that our vision is going to sharpen because guess what?
We're closer to it.
But for me personally, I have some issues with my eyes that are supposed to be fixed over the last couple of months.
It's why I don't have any makeup on.
And it's why I have difficulty seeing physically.
But I have found that the closer we get to 2025, the clearer, prophetic things seem to me.
So 2025, year of clear vision.
We pray that the Lord blesses you and your family with a happy and healthy new year.
And again, we wish all of the best.
God's blessings on the Baker family and the PTL family at large.
We are honored to be a part of it.
We love everyone there so much.
Happy, happy new year.
Hey, praise the Lord.
This is Dr. James Han, and I'm in the middle of a family vacation right here in Washington, D.C., as you can tell.
But I wanted to take a little bit of time to send you all this very special clip for the Jim Baker New Year's show.
You all at the Jim Baker show are so dear and near to my heart.
We so believe in what you're doing.
And it's always a joy for me to have anything at all in any part of the way to participate in what you're doing.
As you can see, I'm standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial celebrating in the great victories and in the great freedoms that are available to us in this land.
We're so very thankful for all that God has done.
Coming up into 2025, I'm reminded of this verse here.
I feel like the Lord has ministered to this to me for us.
Over here in 2 Timothy 3, Paul writing to a young Timothy specifically said this, but know this, that in the last days, perilous times will come, for men will be lovers of themselves,
lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
This is a brutal list, my friend.
This is a brutal list.
Having a form of godliness, this is talking about believers now.
Having a form of godliness, but denying its power.
And from such, turn away.
For this sort are those who have crept into the household and made captives of gullible women, loaded down with sin, led away by various lusts.
Then jump on down to verse eight and you see this.
Now, Janis and Jambrees resisted Moses.
How did Jannys and Jambrees resist Moses?
Was true witchcraft?
So here's what I want to tell you for this upcoming year.
I believe more than ever before in 2025, it will be a year of contrast when the light must be light and the darkness will want to be darker still.
I believe that in 2025, the church has to rise up to be everything that we're supposed to be.
We are supposed to be a light to this nation and to the nations around us.
We are supposed to be the salt of the earth.
We're not supposed to be bickering over small, insignificant doctrinal issues.
Now, that doesn't mean that doctrine isn't important, but it does mean that love needs to unite us.
Our love for God, our love for the word, our love for the spirit.
I believe all my whole heart that 2025 will be a year of contrast.
You and I have to decide if we will be the light that will shine bright or allow for the darkness to put our light out.
So I urge you, Jim Baker show family all around the world.
2025, watch for the contrast of the spirit.
There'll be those who rise up and burn bright and strong with the things of God.
And there'll be those who back away and back off.
May you and I be found to be those who burn bright with the spirit and stay strong with the flow of God in our generation.
This is, I believe, what God is raising up in this time and in this hour.
And again, I'm so very thankful that my family and I got to spend a little bit of time with you this New Year's.
We love you all.
We're speaking the life and the mercy and most importantly, the freedom of the Spirit of God over your lives for 2025.
Remember, it's going to be a year of contrast.
You and I can choose to be the light of God.
You need to do these three things in 2025 to stay on track with God's will for your life and to shut the devil out.
Listen, we have come into an accelerated acceleration.
I prophesied about it in 2018, and I'm sure you'd agree.
Time is flying.
Where did this year even go?
Now, the Lord is doing a quick work and raising up many to launch them forth into his will.
And the enemy is also raging because he knows his time is short.
So we need to be prepared.
There's three things we need to do for 2025.
Number one, we need to sharpen our spiritual discernment.
Now more than ever, the ability to discern the voice of the spirit is critical.
There's many voices out there talking and deception is rising rampantly.
The enemy's devices are becoming more sophisticated, targeting not only individuals, but entire movements, entire nations.
We're clearly in the last days.
We're witnessing a rise in monitoring spirits, witchcraft whispers, time-stealing devices that work to frustrate our plans.
And so we need to discern these things quickly.
We need to discern the enemy's plans quickly, and we need to discern God's will quickly so we can stay on track because God has great and mighty plans for you in 2025.
Hebrews 5, 14 says, but solid food is for the mature who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
So this training must start now.
If you've not pressed in to practice discernment, to grow in that gift, that discipline, now is the time.
You've got to sharpen your discernment for 2025.
So how do you do that?
Well, let me give you some tips because you got to get this.
You want to spend extended time in prayer and fast as you are led.
You know, prayer is your lifeline to God.
It's through talking to him where he talks back to you.
Don't wait for him to initiate.
You take the initiative and fast, fasting, especially if you're having a difficult time discerning or difficult time hearing from the Lord.
Fasting quiets the flesh and sharpens your spiritual senses.
Fasting doesn't just change, fasting doesn't change God, but it does change you.
And fasting doesn't just make you more sensitive to the spirit.
It makes you more able to resist the temptations of the enemy.
Another thing you need to do in the realm of discernment is immerse yourself in the word of God.
Please, the word is the foundation of all discernment because the Lord is raising up watchmen in this hour, those who can see the enemy's plans before they manifest and sound the alarm.
But in order to do that, we need to be prepared spiritually.
We got to consecrate ourselves, set ourselves apart from the world, the entertainment, and put our nose in the Bible, get into prayer, get into fasting.
Those three things are key to growing in discernment.
The second thing is embrace apostolic grit.
2025, come on, we're not looking through rose-colored glasses here.
We're going to have challenges.
Christ said, in this world, you'll have tribulation, but be of good cheer because I've overcome the world.
So the Spirit of the Lord has impressed upon me that perseverance, listen, perseverance will be a hallmark of those who thrive in this season.
Perseverance.
Breakthrough is coming, but it's going to require faith.
You're going to have to stand in faith.
You're going to have to have a bulldog tenacity.
You need an apostolic grit to lay hold of God's best plans for you because the enemy is going to resist you.
That's what he does.
He has a threefold ministry to steal, to kill, and destroy.
He's not resting on his laurels.
He is very active in the earth, but you have an advantage.
You have the Holy Spirit.
You have the sword of the spirit.
And you need apostolic grit.
Apostolic grit is the ability to endure hardship, resist discouragement, and press forward in faith when circumstances look impossible.
You want to develop a lifestyle of praise.
Praise shifts your perspective from the problem to the promise.
And praise drives the devil crazy.
High praise confuses the enemy.
You can go read about that in 2 Chronicles 20, verse 22.
High praise confuses the enemy.
You want to praise him.
Start your day thanking God, praising God.
I'm telling you, it shifts something.
It shifts your internal atmosphere, right?
Because our external atmosphere is one thing.
Our internal atmosphere is something else.
Pray for God's Timing 00:12:06
If you have a confused, depressed, ungrateful, angry internal atmosphere, the enemy already has a leg up on you.
Another thing is anchor yourself in God's promises.
Listen, write down the prophetic words that you've received and war with them according to 1 Timothy 1.18.
Go to war with them.
Fight with the promises in the scripture.
It goes back to knowing the word.
When you have the promise, it fuels you because you know that God is not a man that he should lie, nor the son of man that he should repent.
And with apostolic grit, the third thing is refuse to quit.
You have to decide ahead of time.
You're not going to quit, no matter what.
No matter what, no matter what, the devil can throw his best shot at you.
You're not quitting.
You're not quitting.
You refuse to quit.
You must refuse to quit.
Apostolic grit means you don't retreat when things get hard.
You do not faint in the day of adversity.
Your strength is not small.
When you feel like quitting, you lead into God's strength, knowing that his grace is sufficient.
2 Corinthians 12, 9, his grace is sufficient.
Whatever you're dealing with, whatever's coming against you.
I'm telling you, I know it's not easy, but God is greater than your problems.
Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.
And this grit, this apostolic grit, is going to carry you through spiritual battles, economic shifts, cultural challenges.
You're going to set your forehead like flint, and you're going to not just survive, but you're going to thrive in the face of adversity with this apostolic grit.
You've got to begin developing this now.
And number three, the third thing you need to know, align with God's supernatural timing.
We're talking about insights here for 2025.
We want to move in sync with heaven.
Timing is everything in the kingdom of God.
The Spirit of the Lord has revealed that 2025 will be a year of sudden shifts.
Doors will open and close rapidly.
Everything has accelerated.
And so you might not feel ready for some of what God calls you into.
You might want to lag behind him.
We need to stay in his timing.
Those who are aligned with God's timing will step into divine opportunities.
But those who lag behind him or move ahead of him will miss their moment.
You need good timing, divine timing.
Ecclesiastes 3, verse 1 reminds us that there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens.
So the key is discerning the season you're in and moving in sync with heaven.
So here's three ways.
I could go way deep on this, but I want to give you something to run with here.
Three ways to align yourself with God's timing.
The first thing, pray for discernment of God's timing.
Don't assume, don't presume, don't go by external signs.
Pray for God's discernment and let the peace that passes all understanding be the umpire.
Number two, cultivate a heart of surrender.
Go ahead and lay down your own agenda, lay down your own plans, put everything on the altar.
Let God give back to you what he wants.
You know, Proverbs 3, 5, and 6 reminds us to trust in the Lord with all of our heart and lean not to our own understanding.
So we want to pay attention to prophetic signs.
Number three, pay attention to prophetic signs because God often does confirm his timing through circumstances or prophetic words or divine nudges.
We want to stay sensitive to his leading.
So much of thriving in 2025 has to do with you being sensitive to his heart.
We want to discern, fast, pray, pay attention to what's going on in us, around us, through us.
Supernatural alignment brings the acceleration you need and it positions you for blessings that you could never orchestrate on your own.
Now, the Holy Spirit is also issuing a warning.
The enemy will use distractions, busyness, delays to derail you.
That's what he does.
These are not ordinary delays I'm talking about.
These are strategic assignments, not like getting stuck in the traffic light.
These are custom, tailored, strategic assignments to steal your time and steal your energy.
And in 2025, we've got to rise above these tasks and refuse to be too busy to spend time with God.
Refuse to be delayed.
Refuse to be distracted.
We've got to plow through it.
It goes back to that apostolic grit.
So one strategy, establish a very strong prayer shield now.
Pray over your time.
Pray over your resources.
Pray over your relationships.
Pray over your focus.
Pray over your goals.
Ask God to expose and dismantle any demonic devices working against you.
This is a season of divine preparation.
There's going to be shifts.
There's going to be challenges.
There's going to be opportunities in 2025.
And it's going to require us to be spiritually discerning, apostolically gritty, and aligned with him and his timing.
Amen, friends.
We want to continue to pour into you the men and the women of God who have a word, Mondo.
Like I said, these are people who are tuned into the word of God.
They're listening to the voice of God.
And what they're doing before they just frivolously give the word, Mondo, is they're actually ensuring it lines up with the word of God.
Absolutely.
And that's the one thing that we have learned through this ministry: the men and women that are sitting on this stage and speaking to you are people that we trust, people that other prophets trust, and people that their word has come to fulfillment.
And now, as they're speaking to 2025, we're watching and praying together to be able to see the move of God through the word that they're sharing.
That's right.
You know, what we hear a lot of the time, especially with the word for 2025, is people need to be prepared.
That's the reason we partner with people like Numana.
We've partnered with people like Lion Energy, one of our affiliates, and we really believe it.
There's a lot of people right now.
Mondo, you just got a text message from a man who was just on our show where he says, We're out of power.
We don't have power in the part of California where they're in.
And that's why we believe in this product, Lion Energy.
I want you to watch this.
I want you to really pay attention and consider: do I need to have a backup source for power in my home?
What happens when that fragile infrastructure doesn't work anymore?
And the answer is: if you're not prepared, well, you're going to be in trouble.
We have the ability to do something, right?
That's the foundation for Lion Energy.
Mondo looks like he's cooking up something.
I am.
Everywhere there's food, that's where you're going to find it.
We want to show you how easy peace of mind works.
Not only cooking items, but you have, you know, also items that you have in your garage in the blower.
Look at that.
I'm going to do it again.
Come on.
That's pretty powerful.

They're without power and they're not prepared with food, yet they have heard the message thousands of times.

Because I'm telling you, the hour of the church will be when the people are in need.
That's right.
You know, somebody said you need to ensure that you're able to take care of yourself because whenever a disaster happens, we've seen it many, many times throughout the United States.
Yes, I believe we are the greatest country on the face of this earth, but we also struggle to take care of our own people.
We've seen that with disaster zones over the last few years, really over the last few decades.
Friends, we want to make sure that you and your church are prepared, especially to handle the influx of people that are coming in.
Because Mondo, we've said it many times: the churches need to be open doors for wounded people.
That's not just physically wounded, friend, that's spiritually wounded, that is wounded emotionally as well.
We need to be an open door so people can come in.
Friends, we want the PTL television network to be a place of encouragement, a place of real biblical news.
