Praying for Fortified Faith
00:14:28
|
|
| Is the truth stranger than fiction? | |
| Are there forces that are shaping the fate of humanity? | |
| Today, we discuss aliens, AI, and the Antichrist with authors, experts, and biblical teachers. | |
| Welcome to the 2025 Ready Now Expo, Aliens, AI, and the Antichrist. | |
| Hello, friends. | |
| You're watching the AI Aliens and the Antichrist Conference. | |
| It's going to be an exciting broadcast we have for you today. | |
| We have Joe Horn, the CEO and president of Skywatch TV, author and host of Skywatch TV, as well as Donna Howell. | |
| He is managing editor and writer and researcher for Defender Publishing and is a best-selling author. | |
| We're also going to have on our broadcast, Vicki Joy Anderson. | |
| She attended the University of Northwestern in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she received a bachelor's of science degree in English with a writing emphasis. | |
| And she is a speaker, an author, and she wrote a book, which you guys probably have seen it and read it. | |
| It's called They Only Come Out at Night. | |
| And it's exposing the dark weapon of sleep paralysis. | |
| We as well will have Tina Griffin. | |
| She worked as an actor in Hollywood for more than 10 years, and she is an international speaker and host of the popular program, the Counter Culture Mom Show, where she's advancing the mission to help parents stay up to date regarding media challenges and safely navigate our pop culture chaos that really, Mondo, is overwhelming the next generation right now. | |
| But friends, we have an exciting broadcast. | |
| Before we get into that, we're going to open up to Luke chapter 22. | |
| We're going to be reading the word of God. | |
| So if you have your Bible here in person, open up to Luke chapter 22. | |
| If you have it on your phone, go ahead and swipe that open as well. | |
| The U-version app. | |
| People use that. | |
| Luke chapter 22, verse 31. | |
| It says this right here. | |
| And this is Jesus speaking. | |
| Simon Simon, look out. | |
| Satan has asked to sift you like wheat. | |
| But I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. | |
| And when you have turned your back, strengthen your brothers. | |
| Friends, we see this often and we say, you know, in the charismatic movement, the evangelical movement, we typically tend to get in the mindset to say, well, you know, I'm going to just pray that it goes away, the problem goes away. | |
| I'm going to pray that I never have to face trials, that I never have to face tribulations. | |
| We see a Job moment here in Mondo, where Satan is constantly still going to heaven and petitioning for you, believer. | |
| He's saying, let me have these believers that I may sift them like wheat. | |
| We see where this has once again happened. | |
| He says, Simon Simon, look out. | |
| Satan has asked to sift you like wheat. | |
| And the evangelical mindset and the charismatic mindset would say, well, and Jesus said, I cast you Satan out of heaven. | |
| Get out of my presence. | |
| No, what did he say? | |
| He says, I have prayed for your faith that it may not fail. | |
| Friends, when your friends are going through trials and tribulations, when your family are going through hard times, when was the last time you looked them in their eyes or you called them on the phone, you said, I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. | |
| That's the type of faith I want to have in the last days in which we're living in right now, because I truly do believe we're living in that Matthew 24. | |
| We're living in that Mark 13, that Luke 21, the Revelation generation people have coined it. | |
| I really think we're standing there at the final boarding call for something wonderful. | |
| But friends, in the times we are living in, you will face trial. | |
| You will face tribulation. | |
| You will face hardship. | |
| But I'm praying for you. | |
| I'm praying that your faith does not fail, that your faith is fortified, that it is strengthened, that through hard times, your faith becomes stronger and more bold. | |
| There has never been a better time to go out and evangelize. | |
| There has never been a better time to go out and share your testimony. | |
| The word of God is very clear. | |
| We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. | |
| We love our lives not even unto death. | |
| A few Sundays ago, I preached here, and before I got into the sermon portion of it, I opened up my phone, which I normally don't do right before I preach because there can be distracting things. | |
| Or that's when somebody says, hey, your bill's due tomorrow. | |
| You know, there's always something. | |
| I'm like, my goodness. | |
| So I don't open my phone, but I felt, you know what, I'm going to open my phone and I open it up and I get news alerts. | |
| And I saw one news alert. | |
| It says, hundreds of Christians killed in Syria. | |
| And I began to weep. | |
| And so I went up before I preached. | |
| The worship was still going and I kind of interrupted her and I grabbed the microphone and I began to pray out of the book of Revelation. | |
| When I say pray, I was just reading it where we see the martyrs. | |
| And I began to just weep as I read it. | |
| And I said, thank you, Lord, that we have people who stand ready to give their lives for the cause of Christ. | |
| And I pray that their blood screams out to those non-believers that Christ is holy and he is righteous and he is pure and he's worth serving even unto death. | |
| But America, we have it comfortable. | |
| We do. | |
| We have very good lives. | |
| I promise you, getting blocked on Facebook isn't persecution like they're seeing across the world. | |
| Having your Twitter account banned isn't persecution like they're seeing across the world. | |
| There are people truly losing their lives for the cause of the gospel. | |
| So we can do this. | |
| Know we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and know that we can share our testimony. | |
| Go out and tell someone what Christ has done for you. | |
| Go out and tell somebody the transformation power. | |
| You can say, look at me. | |
| Look at the lifestyle I want to live. | |
| I'm constantly reminded of your book, My Crazy Life. | |
| And I didn't ask you if I could talk about this. | |
| We're just going to jump into it. | |
| But truly, that is something that embodies that verse right there because you had a moment. | |
| I'll let you share it. | |
| But it says, we overcome by the blood of the Lamb, the word of our testimony. | |
| We love our lives not even unto death. | |
| Mondo, you faced a moment where you said, hey, I'm going to give my life to Jesus. | |
| And now you're in a situation where you have a chair and a couple weapons pointed at you. | |
| Tell them about that story. | |
| The moment the gospel penetrated my soul, my heart, I thought that was going to be the moment that would change everything. | |
| But it was the next day, Ricky, that I had a gun in my head, a pistol in my chest, and a shotgun in my back asking me what happened the night before. | |
| And I knew at that moment that any words that I would speak, and if it would go against what they were telling me, my brains will be splattered all over the floor. | |
| But I knew that I couldn't deny the power of the blood of Jesus that transformed my life the night before. | |
| And that was the defining moment. | |
| And this is a word for you because some of you are battling fights that you didn't sign up for. | |
| But I came to deliver a word for you. | |
| Amen. | |
| Amen. | |
| Your provision is in the middle of your battlefield. | |
| Amen. | |
| I don't think you caught that. | |
| Your provision is in the middle of the battlefield that you're facing right now. | |
| And that was my moment of truth in the middle of that battlefield. | |
| I didn't have the word, but I had the anointing that hit me the night before that picked me up and turned my life around. | |
| And I was able to proclaim a gospel that I never experienced, but it became so real that moment that it turned my life around. | |
| And that's the reason why I sit next to you. | |
| That's right. | |
| Seven years ago. | |
| 27 years ago. | |
| Friends, there is nobody who has gone too far, said too much, done too much, that the Holy Spirit and that Jesus' blood isn't good enough to cover them, redeem them, and make them righteous again. | |
| Friends, it's not by our own works or by our own efforts or anything that we can do. | |
| You can work and be as good as you want your entire life and you still wouldn't make the mark for heaven. | |
| You can strive and do everything every single day and you still would not make that mark for heaven because the standard for heaven is perfection. | |
| The only way that we have the opportunity to hear, well done, my good and faithful servant, is because of the cross. | |
| It's because of what Christ did. | |
| It's because of that sacrifice. | |
| I just want to tell you, if you're not a believer, there's never been a better day. | |
| Don't say someday. | |
| It's today. | |
| We're not promised someday. | |
| We are promised the day he has given us. | |
| But, friends, you may be listening to this at work and you may be listening to this at home and you have to go to the grocery store later. | |
| Don't let there be a moment go by from this moment right here where you aren't eternally secure in your position with Jesus Christ. | |
| Call our number. | |
| It's 1-888-988-1588. | |
| We want to pray that salvation prayer with you. | |
| If you're just tuning in to the conference because you want to know about aliens or AI or the Antichrist, you've been curious because your curiosity has peaked because of these subjects, but you're not a believer. | |
| Don't let this conference go by without saying, you know what? | |
| I understand that there is an answer for everything through the Bible. | |
| And I understand that answer to everything is in Jesus Christ. | |
| Give your life to Jesus today. | |
| I promise you, there will never be a better decision. | |
| A lot of people say, well, how can you talk about sin from the pulpit? | |
| That's a political stance. | |
| No, friends, if it's in the Bible, it's a biblical stance. | |
| And I've said this once, and I'll say it a hundred more times. | |
| I care deeply more about your eternal position than your temporary happiness. | |
| I care deeply more about where you will spend eternity rather than your temporary happiness here on earth. | |
| This is all fleeting. | |
| They say best in the New Testament. | |
| This is all a simple vapor. | |
| Spend the rest of your life with Jesus Christ. | |
| Spend the rest of your life just worshiping and praying and being in his presence for eternity. | |
| I promise you, it doesn't mean that life's going to be perfect and easy and rainbow and sunshines and tiptoeing through the tulips. | |
| But I do promise you, you'll have a rock you can stand on that will never shake. | |
| You'll have a foundation that will never budge. | |
| You'll have a cornerstone that ensures the house is built right. | |
| Friends, that can be yours. | |
| All you have to do is say yes today. | |
| Again, call that number. | |
| We want to pray that salvation prayer with you. | |
| We want to pray for your family. | |
| We want to help you get in a good Bible-believing church that preaches the entire word of God with conviction. | |
| And we're going to help you find that. | |
| Call that number today. | |
| Friends, if you're watching this, this is the AI Aliens and the Antichrist Conference, our Ready Now Expo 2025. | |
| And if you're wondering, what is all this about? | |
| Well, we're asking the hard questions and we're getting those hard questions answered. | |
| Watch this. | |
| Is the Antichrist alive right now? | |
| Because when he comes, he's coming since you will have all been prepared. | |
| Your hearts are ready, all prepared for his revelation. | |
| Will artificial intelligence control our lives? | |
| Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man. | |
| I suspect that organic or biological evolution has about come to its end. | |
| Are aliens real? | |
| And have they already visited our planet? | |
| What the American people need to know is that the U.S. military and intelligence community are sitting on a huge amount of visual and other information. | |
| Hi, Res. | |
| High resolution. | |
| The most intelligent inhabitants of that future world won't be men or monkeys. | |
| They'll be machines. | |
| The world is changing at a rapid pace. | |
| And the biggest questions of our time demand answers. | |
| Why the secrecy if it's really no big deal and there's nothing there? | |
| Why hide it? | |
| Join us for Ready Now Expo 2025. | |
| Aliens, AI, and the Antichrist, where faith, preparedness, and revelation collide. | |
| Are we entering the final frontier of humanity? | |
| Very soon, we will be beyond the God of the Bible. | |
| Visit www.readynowexpo.com today and be ready for what's coming next. | |
| Friends, I want to welcome you to today's special episode of the Ready Now Expo. | |
| We have incredible guests. | |
| It has been an exciting time here in Blue Eye, Missouri. | |
| You would have never thought you'd see this many people in Blue Eye, Missouri. | |
| But I want to say thank you for coming out and thank you for watching online as well. | |
| Like I said, this is an incredible broadcast. | |
| I want to go ahead and say a hearty welcome. | |
| Thank you for being on the broadcast with us, Joe Horn. | |
| We have Donna Howell. | |
| I can't reach you else, I would. | |
| Vicky Joy Anderson and Tina, thank you guys for being. | |
| There we go. | |
| Being on the broadcast. | |
| You two got to be on the broadcast yesterday with Pastor Jim Baker. | |
| Friends, if you haven't seen it, go watch on video on demand. | |
| Pastor Jim and Laurie Baker sat back here about after six months, then they came and re-hosted this show. | |
| I'm telling you, we scratched the surface and pale in comparison to how blessed and anointed that man is in this seat. | |
| What an incredible thing. | |
| But, Joe, give us an update on how Skywatch is doing. | |
| We obviously love your father. | |
| An incredible man of God, a brilliant man of God, but you are carrying on that legacy and you're doing it well. | |
| I've heard nothing but positive things. | |
| So give us an update. | |
| What's happening at Skywalker? | |
| Well, thank you, Ricky. | |
| Thank you, Ricky and Mondo, and to the Baker family for hosting this amazing conference on aliens, artificial intelligence, and the Antichrist always doing such important work. | |
| You're absolutely right. | |
| My father, for those unfamiliar, passed away in October of 2023, and it really put our ministry in a place that we had kind of seen coming, even though the very end of his life was a bit sudden. | |
| We thought we had more time, but he had been making steps to ready us for the time. | |
| And because of his wisdom and his foresight, not to brand the program around a particular person or to wait till the last minute to deal with the financial aspects, there was a lot of infrastructure in place that gave us a really important foot forward to avoid further difficulty than what we already endured just on an emotional level. | |
| So the part of it that you're never going to be ready for is losing your hero, your moral compass, your best friend, your business partner, your ministerial partner. | |
| And so that part of it has been much more difficult than even I had imagined signing up for. | |
| And it's affected my beautiful wife and my brother-in-law James and Donna and my mother. | |
| But by the grace of God, and this is unexplainable, barring the spirit realm, because this is not the business acumen of Joe Horn, because of the grace of God and his provision, Skywatch is actually continuing to improve viewership. | |
| Amen. | |
| And I believe that's because the message is so relevant as well. | |
|
Luciferian War On Kids
00:11:11
|
|
| You know, if we were to talk about these things, 20 years ago, they would have said it's fringe and told me to put on my tinfoil hat, which 20 years ago, I probably would have been happy to do. | |
| I would have absolutely been okay with it. | |
| I was seven 20 years ago, by the way. | |
| I'm perfectly fine with that. | |
| What I'm saying is, now it is a critical subject because we understand these are the times we are living in. | |
| Every other generation, I believe, has seen end times things, but we are the first one that has seen the culmination of all of them at the exact same time. | |
| We truly are seeing the season. | |
| I want to talk about one other thing that you do, and I think it's an incredible work. | |
| It's Whispering Ponies Ranch. | |
| Yes, thank you. | |
| Why is that so important? | |
| What is it, first off, for those who may not know? | |
| And why is it so important to Skywatch? | |
| So, Skywatch Television underwrites our charitable ministry. | |
| It's known as Whispering Ponies Ranch. | |
| I can see some people already nodding along. | |
| They're familiar with ministry. | |
| But for those that aren't, we serve the children that have been rescued from sex trafficking. | |
| Many of these kids are still wards of the state. | |
| They've been abused, Ricky and Mondo, in every way that you can imagine. | |
| And then some that most sane, normal people can't imagine, which is where you get into demonic realms that are much too dark for probably a lot of discussion today. | |
| But we look into the eyes of these young children. | |
| They get to come to Whispering Ponies Ranch at no cost, by the way, to the ministries like Royal Family Kids. | |
| We serve them. | |
| Teenreach.com for the children.org. | |
| We partner with ministries that help us aggregate these kids from the foster care system. | |
| And they come to the oasis. | |
| Wayne Tesh, the founder of the Royal Family Kids, calls it the theater of the outdoors, where these kids get to come and they have their Jesus encounter for a week of what is Bible-centric camp, where they experience the love of Christ through very highly trained, specially certified. | |
| These people come in with all of the background checks and all the criteria that qualify them to work with special needs children. | |
| We have animals that can be very therapeutic to these kids. | |
| They get to interact with animals, which opens up dialogues for the ones that are extremely shut down, that have been abused to the point where they don't even want to speak anymore. | |
| We have rock walls, indoor swimming pools, a zip line. | |
| And, you know, last year, if you don't mind indulging me for a few seconds, I'll tell you, the enemy tried to shut our camp down right before our big celebratory return to camp, just a few months after my father passed away. | |
| Wow. | |
| Already enduring what was a brutal mental year of difficulty, we're saying, Ricky, we're saying the kids are coming. | |
| We're getting ready to serve. | |
| It's going to be good for the heart. | |
| And all of a sudden, at the very last minute, with no time to pivot, we lose our insurance, which was over a decade, this policy, and no claims. | |
| Out of the blue, we were part of an emergency purge where us and thousands of other ministries resembling anything Tina and Vicki and Donna, anything like children being ministered to. | |
| So whether that's camping programs, whether that's week-long stays, whether that's Boy Scout-esque-type programs, or Missionette-esque type programs, or Iwana-type programs, whole cloth all across the nation, this massive cancellation of insurances. | |
| We saw this as a Luciferian move to shut down the heartbeat of what Skywatch TV and Whispering Ponies Ranch are attempting to do. | |
| God allowed for last-minute pivots on all of our camps with the exception of one to find alternative locations to go and have their Jesus encounter. | |
| And this year, as I'm sitting here, just three and a half weeks ago, we got our insurance back and we're about to have camp. | |
| Praise God. | |
| If somebody wants to support this, I know there's a lot of people whose hearts are moved by something like this. | |
| If somebody wants to financially support this, how would they go about making sure that you guys can continue to do camps, not just this year, but for the next 10, 20, 30 years? | |
| Ricky, I appreciate that so much. | |
| And yes, if you want to help support the Whispering Ponies Ranch, you can simply go to skywatchtv.com. | |
| There are links where we talk about ways to partner with us through prayer. | |
| You can also financially support that ministry. | |
| There's opportunities to help us send kids to camp so that they can also experience rehabilitation and the love of Jesus Christ. | |
| It's very true. | |
| There is an all-out Luciferian war against our children. | |
| But why is that? | |
| Why the children? | |
| Because in my view, children are the greatest gift to us that God the Father gives to us. | |
| They are the future. | |
| If you want to know what the future looks like, look at the kids that you're raising or the ones that you're neglecting. | |
| And right now, there is an all-out Luciferian war happening, mostly in Western civilization. | |
| And you see it manifest in all types of ways. | |
| This assault is coming in from lots of directions, Ricky. | |
| From the attempts by those that write our school curriculum to normalize words like pedophile by rebranding away from that stigma with alternative acronyms like maps, a minor attracted person. | |
| It's not an appropriate mondo that a child have consensual relationships with an adult. | |
| This is normal. | |
| They should experience love with someone that's going to be there to kind of nurture with them these feelings and explore this. | |
| And by the way, you can be a fireman, you can be a dancer, but you can also be a boy or a girl. | |
| These are all just decisions that can be fostered and visited with those qualified around these children to help them navigate these things. | |
| So now you get into gender dysphoria. | |
| It's very fluid. | |
| That's right. | |
| It attacks the very idea of the nuclear family. | |
| The idea that you have mother, father, son, daughter, sibling. | |
| Because by dismantling the family unit, you get rid of the head of the household. | |
| You get rid of the construct that God used for decades to reinforce godly values. | |
| And now you just have this never-ending capless exploration of your feelings and your wants and your wishes. | |
| And then all you need are some Luciferian deceived, either victims or very malignant people around these children to help coach them towards things that absolutely dismantle any possible road to normalcy that these kids will ever have. | |
| The cartoons that they're consuming, the media that they're consuming. | |
| These are programs that are purposefully being written, Mondo, to indoctrinate children away from their God-given gender. | |
| To replace terms like mother and father with universal ones like boys, excuse me, getting rid of terms like boys and girls, moms and dads, and replacing them with generic terms like person, they, them, or adventurer. | |
| You also see this taking place in the classroom all across the United States, this attempt to normalize pornography. | |
| We're talking about little kids that will see things now under the guise of healthy sexual education exploration with qualified trained adults, images they will never unsee. | |
| That's right. | |
| And by the way, if you really want to wind me up, let's get into what artificial intelligence is already doing to further worsen porn addiction and what that means for people that now want to act this stuff out in regards to children. | |
| But I don't want to suck all of the oxygen out of the room while I have these dear friends that have equally valuable things to share. | |
| Because as we were in the green room just moments ago, Mondo, a lot of the guests that you have here with me today, we're realizing God is mobilizing an army. | |
| We've come in with different presentations, but it's all attacking the same Luciferian war. | |
| Amen. | |
| It is. | |
| Yes, yes. | |
| That brings me to this point. | |
| And I want to ask the panel this. | |
| And let's start with Miss Tina. | |
| Welcome back. | |
| Thanks for being here. | |
| Thank you for having me. | |
| Thank you for wanting me back. | |
| This question is for the panel. | |
| And as she's talking, get ready for your answers. | |
| But how will AI be used to target our children and even adults for that matter? | |
| It already is in a major way. | |
| I mean, you nailed it with the TV shows, movies. | |
| You can't tell what's real and what isn't real. | |
| The problem with it is our kids today are involved with 70 hours a week on average in entertainment, 40 hours a week in a corrupted school system, and approximately 30 minutes with their parent each week. | |
| That's insane. | |
| If you look at those stats, that's insane. | |
| So you mentioned a couple TV shows. | |
| I wanted to rattle one weird one off. | |
| It just came out a couple years ago. | |
| Smart Mark Zombie is all glamorizing and glorifying a chip that you get. | |
| We at Yada Yada Company have this, I don't want to mention what it is, have this chip in our skin, and it's so easy. | |
| We can scan for our groceries, scan to go to the gym. | |
| And she rattles off in that tone of voice, and it's absolutely free. | |
| And all the kids are cheering on the street. | |
| I'm like, that's the mark of the beast, people. | |
| They're warming us up. | |
| But with AI specifically, I think that when kids are using TikTok constantly on TikTok, giving out personal information, we've been warned how many times don't have your kids on any social media just for that aspect. | |
| We have kids being tracked and traced through many different apps today by having an actual location device on there. | |
| On top of that, now with AI, AI, they can put whatever they want on there or see whatever they think they're seeing, and it's an actual fraudulent image. | |
| And you were describing in detail, and if you could share that story, about a character or a child regarding pornography, how a face was taken off a child that a person wanted to. | |
| I mean, you can go more into detail. | |
| It's kind of graphic. | |
| But basically, pedophilia is glamorized in it. | |
| We have the fake images that are constantly on social media today. | |
| And I even saw a Tom Cruise lookalike saying some heinous things on social media on a video about three or four months ago where you could easily think it's Tom Cruise. | |
| So what are they going to now do with AI with kids believing astronomically more lies through the advantage of their favorite personalities and celebrities now saying things they never really said? | |
| And you have scripture being rewritten and AI, different passages that pastors are using relying on AI to give them the word of God at a church service. | |
| It's just crazy. | |
| Wow. | |
| And you're going to have my seat's going to be on fire again today, too. | |
| And you have so many different ways that AI is literally eliminating just the intelligence of humans as a result and the creativity of our children as a result. | |
| They have warnings all over the schools today now. | |
| You can't use AI to write your term paper. | |
| Of course not. | |
| Otherwise that kid's never going to have a chance to understand how to write a paper. | |
| That's right. | |
| Or come up with a title. | |
|
Tech Putting Brain into Theta Wave State
00:02:57
|
|
| That's right. | |
| It's killing me. | |
| I'm all fired up and it's primarily because of your opening session and this conference. | |
| We're back there. | |
| There's five new massive things my husband and I are doing as a result of being here for the last 48 hours. | |
| Wow. | |
| Thank you so much. | |
| Vicki. | |
| How is AI really being target to children, adults alike? | |
| What's your view on that? | |
| Sure. | |
| Remember the good old days when around midnight they played the national anthem and then it went to static and you actually got to go and have a good night's sleep? | |
| We're done. | |
| We've provided enough entertainment for you. | |
| Rest your mind. | |
| Let the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex shut down. | |
| We're not allowed to shut down ever. | |
| So in my research, which is sleep research, now we have kids who are jazzed up on all sorts of psychotropic medication, lots of which they might not even need, but the public school system demands that they do and insists with all of these labels that may or may not actually be something that that child is suffering with. | |
| So now they've got a little bit of a pharmakea being introduced. | |
| Now you're putting on top of it headsets, earbuds, phones, social media, VR goggles, gaming headsets, binaural beats, apps to help me sleep, melatonin gummies. | |
| Maybe there's even some CBD or a little bit of THC in there. | |
| You've got this just slaughter towards the kid. | |
| The brains are being hacked. | |
| So what used to happen, let's go back into like the 1960s and previous, you would have to become an Eastern meditative guru to learn how to hack these deep meditative states. | |
| Now the tech is doing it for you. | |
| You can do in five to 15 minutes what people used to take a lifetime learning to do through meditation and yoga and all of these spiritual rituals. | |
| But what this tech is doing is it is putting a child into theta wave state. | |
| It is training in brain entrainment is going on. | |
| And they are in modes where the pineal gland has been activated. | |
| And what AI is facilitating through the dream warfare is that kids aren't just interacting with cyborgs and robots and deep fakes of Tom Cruise. | |
| They are now in the astral realm having actual physical, read between the lines when I say physical, encounters with the little vampire characters and the Twilight characters and all of the things like the vampires have been made romantic and it's actual encounters with familiar spirits in the astral realm. | |

Dangerous Word Game

|
|
| Your kids are leaving their bodies through this technology. | |
| They might not even realize it. | |
| They would roll their eyes at you if you suggested it because they don't even know. | |
| It's become so normalized. | |
| It's just a game. | |
| It's just a dream. | |
| Wow. | |
| Wow. | |
| Don't talk about the presentation you're going to be doing later today. | |
| It was based on your recent book called Destination Earth. | |
| Now, I know this was supposed to be a title you were going to write with your father. | |
| He passed away in the earlier phases of this project, but he did say this about this. | |
| He said that this would be one of the most important warnings the church needs to heed today. | |
| So Donna, what is that warning? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Okay. | |
| So, and you're talking about how AI is just messing everything up right now. | |
| One of the things I'm glad you started with, how the legacy of Tom Horne, because that just shaved off a whole bunch of explanation for me. | |
| I can start with just saying when he passed away in 2023, he gave me one final charge, right? | |
| And he said, take this. | |
| Destination Earth was the name of it, but at the working, the working title at the time, it was not named. | |
| He said, take this. | |
| Jesus isn't an alien book and run with it. | |
| Make sure that you speak this boldly and everything. | |
| This is exactly what he said. | |
| And I quote, this was his warning. | |
| The church had better start producing answers to these questions about aliens and UFOs in God right now. | |
| If it doesn't, the world will produce answers. | |
| And on that day, mark my words, Jesus Christ will be deemed an alien and the church will stand there stupefied and stuttering. | |
| Why? | |
| Because we've had all this time to answer the question in the room. | |
| And listen, the ET religions, there's a lot more to them than you think. | |
| Each one of them, tens of thousands of adherents and followers, over 70 countries affected by this spreading ET religion. | |
| It's a growing epidemic of people that say, and listen, even a friend of mine, even a friend of mine fell for it. | |
| Luckily, we were able to kind of talk through it a little bit. | |
| But even a friend of mine, she contacted me after a, it was, okay, funny enough, a good year tire blimp of a sports stadium in New Jersey. | |
| It wasn't even a UFO. | |
| But before they found that out, everybody was backing up on the highway, getting out of their cars, taking pictures of this UFO that wasn't a UFO. | |
| And she was freaking out and sending me one text after another. | |
| Is the Antichrist on that ship? | |
| Are we getting abducted? | |
| Are we going to war? | |
| Is Earth the vegetation that's going to feed wherever they're from? | |
| Like she was so spooked about this. | |
| But when we finally got past the oh no, when she realized it was a good year tire blimp, she told me, she said, well, Donna, have you ever considered that maybe Jesus could have been an alien? | |
| And then she said, don't just dismiss it. | |
| Think about it. | |
| And she did what all these other people are doing when the church doesn't have an answer. | |
| And they're saying, what if he was an extraterrestrial? | |
| What if instead of divine supernatural power, he was exercising mastery over physics, thermodynamics, and chemistry when he decided to make water into wine? | |
| What if he was this, that, or the other when he walked on water? | |
| Everything is explained. | |
| Okay, there's a thing you have to know in the room. | |
| There is an origin story of aliens. | |
| It all comes from Genesis 6. | |
| Without getting into the backstory, I will tell you that there are theological incompatibilities that are so intrinsic to alien and Christ together, they cannot mesh. | |
| One of the things that is the most glaring in the room is the fact that Jesus's name is the name by which these creatures flee. | |
| And Jesus said in Mark 3, you cannot have your voice behind two kingdoms. | |
| If you go with this kingdom and then you go over here, your kingdom falls. | |
| So your voice has to be behind the kingdom you support. | |
| That is what Jesus said. | |
| If Jesus was of the kingdom of aliens, he could not cast out aliens because Satan cannot cast out Satan. | |
| Jesus cannot cast out Jesus. | |
| There is an incompatibility here, and it goes so much deeper than that. | |
| That is what my presentation is about. | |
| Listen, we're going to pause for just a moment and take all that in. | |
| I don't know about you, but you're missing out. | |
| If you're not here, oh, shame on you. | |
| You should have signed up. | |
| Oh, my goodness. | |
| You just read. | |
| I got like 15 other questions that are not part of the question. | |
| Seriously. | |
| But before I go there, we want to say thank you for supporting this program. | |
| We want to thank you for becoming a monthly partner with this ministry. | |
| Because of your support, we are able to have programs like this that are going to prepare you not to panic. | |
| You just heard the mandate from the men of God. | |
| He's sitting with Jesus right now. | |
| Oh, I'm so jealous of him. | |
| But I want to tell you something. | |
| I wish you can put that quote all over. | |
| Yes. | |
| Because it is a warning for you. | |
| It's a warning for the church that if we don't start doing our jobs, the world is going to pick it up and they're going to do something that is going to change the face of the culture. | |
| That's right. | |
| But this is why we need Christian television. | |
| People are, do you understand that people are writing Christian television off? | |
| They are cursing Christian television. | |
| I happen to believe otherwise. | |
| The same God that moved through Christian television in the 60s and the 70s and the 80s is about to do it again. | |
| Amen. | |
| You can run to show social media. | |
| You can build your channels on YouTube. | |
| But God has anointed this ministry for Christian television. | |
| And without you, I can tell you that we can't be here. | |
| Now, God is a God that can do whatever he wants. | |
| What I'm trying to tell you is get in God's plan. | |
| There's a revival that is about to happen again through Christian television. | |
| And God chose you for this moment. | |
| What we need you to do, and this is very hard for us to do, but is we need your support. | |
| We got to continue to raise money. | |
| Why? | |
| If you only knew, Ricky, God gave me a word for you. | |
| Your provision is in the middle of your battlefield. | |
| Amen. | |
| That's out of the David and Goliath moment. | |
| And a lot of you are in the middle of a fight that you didn't sign up for. | |
| But I came to deliver a word for you. | |
| Your provision is in the middle of your battlefield. | |
| Amen. | |
| David did not show up with five stones. | |
| He found them in the middle of a battlefield. | |
| That's right. | |
| What Dad had in the past, God is not going to allow you to fight with his weapons. | |
| That's right. | |
| New weapons for new warfare. | |
| But that means this is where you show up because you are those five stones in the middle of our battlefield. | |
| Amen. | |
| And God promised during Pentecost. | |
| Do you understand that if you read what happened in Pentecost, those churches, the churches that were birthed out of that moment, the disciples did not go without one need. | |
| The people came and sow a seed for the mission to go forth. | |
| Amen. | |
| Read your Bible. | |
| Quit cursing prosperity through God's eyes, through the Bible. | |
| Now, men, I'm sorry I'm taking this time, but I want to tell you something. | |
| The church has corrupted God's prosperity gospel to build their own kingdom. | |
| That's good. | |
| I need your help. | |
| Ricky and I need your help. | |
| Your friend Jim and Lori Baker, they need your help. | |
| If you only knew the battles that Ricky had to fight yesterday, you would not believe. | |
| And without a miracle, we are not going to continue to go forth without a miracle. | |
| But thank God. | |
| Amen. | |
| The greater is he. | |
| Amen. | |
| Call that number right now, 1-888-988-1588, and say, boys, we're going to stand with you the same way we have been standing with your mom and dad, and we're going to sow a seed to continue this miracle called Christian television. | |
| Amen. | |
| Call the number today. | |
| Sow a seed. | |
| Become a partner. | |
| Listen, I don't have the time to go through all the spill, but go to the website, jimbakershow.com, get the affiliate program going. | |
| Bless Christian businesses so they can bless this ministry and it can bless you. | |
| Do that today. | |
| The number to write down and call while you're listening and you're watching this expo is 1-888. | |
| I'm going to go very slow so you can have time to write it down. | |
| 1-888-988-1588. | |
| Let's change the world for Jesus Christ. | |
| Amen. | |
| We believe in preparation because it provides peace for people. | |
| It truly does provide peace. | |
| Spiritual preparation is the most important preparation you can have, believer. | |
| Make sure you have the relationship with Jesus Christ because it will give you eternal peace. | |
| Friends, we believe in physical preparation as well. | |
| We want to make sure that you have everything you need. | |
| We've been able to go to the Floridas, the North Carolinas, the Houston, Texas, the Californias, and provide the food, the water, and the clean clothes for people. | |
| And we do it through your support. | |
| So I want to say thank you so much so that we can continue to do humanitarian aid through this ministry. | |
| And we keep presenting information like this, things that most ministries wouldn't touch. | |
| We say, you know what? | |
| Let's go there because we believe that there is a generation finding their answers and we want to make sure they find them at the foot of the cross. | |
| I was kind of baffled when I heard the phrase that people thought Jesus was an alien. | |
| I'm in the Bible belt, the Midwest. | |
| It's not really a big phrase I hear quite a bit, but then I looked it up and I realized, oh my goodness, you know, I was on Reddit. | |
| My goodness, a lot of people believe this. | |
| No, I'm telling you, I don't know where you're from because a lot of people are coming and traveling. | |
| I'm in the Bible belt. | |
| They say sometimes this is the buckle of the Bible belt, you know, where people tell me, God bless you, whenever I go through a drive-through. | |
| I didn't realize how many people really believe these, what they're calling E.T. religions, that Christ could be an extraterrestrial being. | |
| How is the church supposed to respond to this, especially churches that maybe don't have to face it right now, but I guarantee you will have to face it soon? | |
| Yeah, well, I'll tell you what. | |
| I have a number of things to say in my presentation later today, but I will tell you, be warned that there is a very dangerous word game being played right now by the ET religion crowd. | |
| And it goes like this. | |
| Now, bear with me for a second. | |
| The technical, technical definition of extraterrestrial is living or occurring outside of Earth or its atmosphere. | |
| Okay? | |
| God is not limited to Earth's surface. | |
| The technical definition of alien is different or adverse in nature. | |
| God is not limited to our substance, our character, our nature, and our conditions. | |
| So by definition, people want to play this word game that says even God himself acknowledges all throughout the word that he is an alien. | |
| In fact, I will not say the name of the book, but there is a popular book out right now that the title alone specifically makes the statement in different words that God has admitted all throughout the Bible that he is an extraterrestrial. | |
| This is the word game that they are playing. | |
| Okay. | |
| Now, if you want to play technical word games, it actually flips on you. | |
| Let me show you how to beat it in one move here. | |
| When you get into this whole word game, before they start with, see, God even said that he was an angel, or God even said that he was an extraterrestrial. | |
| The extraterrestrial has an absolute shared substance with angelic created beings. | |
| So that's the first way that that fails. | |
| But second of all, you know what a contronym is? | |
| It's a word that means the opposite over time. | |
| Like 200 years ago, if I was to say, Mondo, you are awful. | |
| It would have been like, you are worthy of awe. | |
| You're amazing. | |
| You're wonderful, right? | |
| Now I say you are awful, Mondo, and it means I dislike you very strongly. | |
| Right. | |
| We know very well that when we hear alien, extraterrestrial, we are thinking everything from reptilian to Nordic to bulbous-headed grays that creep into your window at night. | |
| We know that is what we are thinking when we say that. | |
| So here's how to beat this, and I wish I could say I thought of it. | |
| I did threaten, I did tell Derek Gilbert that I was going to steal it and say I thought of it, but I can't. | |
| I got to give credit where credit is due. | |
| When I asked him to weigh in on this one chapter of the book, is God an alien? | |
| I didn't give him any context at all. | |
| I just said, is God an alien to see how he would approach the question? | |
| He said, absolutely not. | |
| Sin alienates human beings from God. | |
| So if you want to play word game, suddenly we are the aliens. | |
| Wow. | |
| When is this book out? | |
| The book is already out. | |
| It's been out for a few months now. | |
| It is the most recent thing. | |
| It was the thing that my father charged me with upon his deathbed. | |
| SkywatchTVStore.com is definitely one way to get it in a bundle with some other freebies and getaways, but we do have a national distribution. | |
| So it's on Audible. | |
| Sorry, I forgot. | |
| It's on Audible. | |
| It's on all different kinds of platforms and in print and Kindle. | |
| Wow. | |
| Wow. | |
| Destination Earth. | |
| Destination Earth. | |
| Vicki, I want to ask you some questions about similarities between the differences, you know, if any, between sleep paralysis and UFO abductions. | |
| In preparation for this conference, I watched a few videos of people, you know, said they were abducted by UFOs. | |
| I was intrigued by a lot of history channel stuff, you know, things like that. | |
| What's the difference, though? | |
| Is there a difference? | |
| Is it the same thing? | |
| When people go through sleep paralysis, are they facing a UFO abduction? | |
| They're the same and they're different. | |
| What's similar is people who experience sleep paralysis are experiencing an abduction. | |
| But the differences are that it's not the same agenda. | |
| They're not seeing little green or gray men. | |
| They're not seeing the UFOs. | |
| They're not seeing the laboratories. | |
| That's more of a genetic type of an aspect. | |
| Whereas the sleep paralysis abduction into the astral is more of a educational grooming of what we would call theosophy. | |
| And this ties directly into what Donna was just talking about. | |
| The one world religion you are going to be indoctrinated in after a lifelong of sleep paralysis, interacting with familiar spirits and spirit guides and angels appearing as beings of light that are not, is you are going to get what they called in the 60s Christ consciousness. | |
| Okay, they have different names for it now. | |
| They keep changing it. | |
| Things have to be hip for the kids. | |
| And they also have to be changed so that parents and grandparents don't recognize that it's the same thing. | |
| But what they're being told directly and indirectly is Jesus Christ was just like you. | |
| He came to earth. | |
| He was a man. | |
| And he obtained Godhood through his experiences. | |
| He was able to get to a higher vibration. | |
|
Reprogramming Judeo-Christian Affections
00:03:20
|
|
| And all he was was a man that became a God. | |
| And you can follow in his footsteps. | |
| He's not God. | |
| He's not one with God. | |
| He became that God. | |
| And so can you. | |
| And so unlike the UFO abductions, where it usually has to do with cloning and genetics and things like on that frame, this is a reprogramming of the Judeo-Christian infrastructure of planet Earth. | |
| They have to prepare us for the religion. | |
| So when the beings come down, if it's a holograph, if it's the Anunnaki, if it's some guy who looks like first century Jesus, whatever their shtick is going to be, for those of us that are born and bred in the Word of God, | |
| and we go straight to Galatians 1, even if an angel from heaven preaches a gospel other than this, let him be accursed, how are they going to preach a gospel contrary to the gospel in Scripture and get away with it? | |
| They're going to get away with it through decades and decades and decades of grooming three, four, five, six generations of a Christian religion synchronized with this alien gospel. | |
| Vicki, this is amazing. | |
| I had never heard about sleep paralysis. | |
| Maybe I'm not looking for it, but after you describe it, I can see how this happens. | |
| How do we protect ourselves from being targeted by sleep paralysis? | |
| Yeah, absolutely. | |
| There's all the obvious things, guys. | |
| But when I say, this is what's tough. | |
| You know, we hear the altar calls. | |
| Find yourself a good church. | |
| Read the Gospel of John. | |
| Get baptized. | |
| But it's not a formula, Mondo. | |
| Like, we can do all of these things with our hearts disengaged. | |
| We can go to church. | |
| We can sign up for things. | |
| We can bring food on Wednesday nights. | |
| We can go on a missions trip. | |
| We can read our Bible every day and check it off of our to-do list. | |
| If we don't have genuine affections for Jesus Christ, none of that is going to do anything. | |
| And the only way we are going to have genuine affections for Jesus Christ is to depart from Babylon, to hate the world, to not be of this world. | |
| Like you said, Donna, we're the aliens. | |
| We are not of this world. | |
| And as long as we're plugged into it, we will not have genuine affections for Jesus Christ. | |
| And if we don't have affections for him and we don't know our authority in him, when these things come to your kids and your grandkids, they'll have one of two effects on them. | |
| The children will be terrified or they will be mesmerized. | |
| So they will either live in fear, which is an open door to the spirit realm, or they will fall headlong into receiving the wrong Messiah. | |
|
Slow Indoctrination Through Media
00:07:59
|
|
| You know, I've been a firm believer that there's a slow indoctrination happening. | |
| It's been happening for many, many years. | |
| Movies, Hollywood themes, they slowly get you comfortable with the idea of something. | |
| Tina, you spent 10 years in Hollywood. | |
| What would you say to that? | |
| That they're just slowly trying to get us comfortable with the idea of things like aliens. | |
| And where does Hollywood lie on that? | |
| Well, Hollywood has been hellish for a long time, a lot of decades. | |
| The 45 communist goals that were written about 50 years ago, 60 years ago now, at least 17, if not 18, of those 45 communist goals directly deal with the dismantling and the destruction of the family structure. | |
| So, and it's media-based, media-driven, make promiscuity, homosexuality look normal and something that kids want to gravitate towards. | |
| There's 17 at least goals that deal with that. | |
| So, we've seen that happen over the course of the last 40, 50, 60 years. | |
| When the Christians left Hollywood 50s and 60s, we saw what happened as a result. | |
| But the issue now is it's not even hidden. | |
| It's in plain sight. | |
| I think several of you said the same thing. | |
| It's right in front of our face. | |
| When you have a TV show like Lucifer, where literally Satan is looked upon, Lucifer is looked upon as a savior and the good guy, how dare God kick him out of heaven. | |
| You have millions of kids that are like coming up to me during a presentation when I do Hollywood Expose saying, I know you just shared that. | |
| I never really saw that before because I thought Lucifer was a good guy because they believed a TV show. | |
| When you have witchcraft and sorcery and chilling in the TV series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and people think that it's a remake of the Sabrina the Teenage Witch, which I had a chance to work on 25 years ago, and I even hated working on it. | |
| I would be on the set literally trying to witness the celebrities, and they would come to church with me. | |
| But that was a comedy. | |
| Now you have parents that are raising their kids today thinking, oh, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. | |
| It's so cool. | |
| I used to watch that comedy I was a kid. | |
| Watch five minutes of it. | |
| And if you are awake and in the Word of God, you can see the deception in that. | |
| They hired real witches to work on set. | |
| Period. | |
| And the Satanic Temple out of Michigan literally was suing that production company and they won the lawsuit because they were referred to in an episode and they did the wrong little bit of witchcraft in it and it made them look bad and therefore the lawsuit actually happened and they won. | |
| Wow. | |
| That's how real this stuff is. | |
| And I play just the trailer and I want to cry every time I play it around this country. | |
| Wow. | |
| For school assemblies. | |
| And the wild thing is people are awake because now I have principals saying, hang on a second, this is, is this Christian? | |
| I'm like, I took that out even though I know my legalities of that. | |
| I can easily still say any kind of Bible verse in schools today, but they try to tell you separation of church and state, which is total false, total falsity. | |
| And a lot of churches as well live off of 501c3. | |
| They worry about their nonprofit status. | |
| Ditch it if you need to to still stick with the word of God. | |
| Right here, ditch the 501c3. | |
| I'm like all fired up. | |
| You saw I was like, Kathy Golucky three days ago. | |
| Now I'm like, that's it. | |
| So right now it's in front of our face. | |
| Kids are watching it. | |
| Once they see the truth, I show video clips. | |
| I've got hundreds of video clips you can't even find online anymore in a vault, backed up three times because of Satan trying to destroy my computer and my tech gadgets, but he's not going to have it. | |
| The point is we have to be diligent. | |
| And I think it's the hardest ever for parents. | |
| I'm a parent of four kids, teenagers, 16 down to 11. | |
| I love them dearly. | |
| I am researching pop culture 24-7. | |
| There are times where I want to punch my fist through the wall because I'm looking at content that is killing our kids. | |
| And I'm hearing kids tell me, can you adopt me and take me home? | |
| Every time I do a speaking event because it's so hard to go to sleep at night when I'm bawling, driving back from a speaking engagement because these kids are literally trying to find their way in a backwards, upside-down world with tons of lies. | |
| They want the truth. | |
| And I'm going to speak at churches today, not all, but most, where they're blasting disgusting lyrics and songs and letting the kids play video games and then expecting me to come drop a bomb on it and tell them, don't watch it, don't listen to it minutes later. | |
| We will have to account to God. | |
| I am not saying I'm a perfect person. | |
| I have stuff to work on. | |
| Everybody does. | |
| But we need to absolutely encourage our pastor to teach from the Word of God because their church doors, they'll have to have 17 church services on a weekend. | |
| If they taught the word of God, because so many people are starving for the truth, if they saw truth, they will gravitate. | |
| Amen. | |
| Can I ask a question to you both? | |
| Parenting today. | |
| Can you help parents who feel overwhelmed? | |
| I'm a mom. | |
| I'd love a dad's take on what we can do to help our men teach the word of God, disciple our children well, and combat the attack because after COVID, I mean, they're trying to make ends meet just with working all day. | |
| And yet, we don't want to sacrifice our kids for the sake of putting bread on the table. | |
| I'll answer or my 15-year-old twins. | |
| As a father, my responsibility is simple: be present, be active, and then I got to tell you something. | |
| I get invited to go speak all over the world, go hang out with people. | |
| I put all the distractions to the side. | |
| My 100% activities, my time, he knows everything goes to my kids. | |
| Present, they're not on social media. | |
| There's no business to be on social media for them. | |
| Simple answer: be present, be active, and be there when, when they need you. | |
| That's right. | |
| Throughout the day, my kids are, you know, they go through the kitchen. | |
| Dad, I love you. | |
| Son, I love you. | |
| You're important to me. | |
| My daughter, throughout the day, 15 years old, Dad, I love you. | |
| Why? | |
| It's because I'm present, I'm active, and I'm consistent every single day. | |
| That's my advice to fathers: put your distractions away, put your golfing games with your buddies away, be present. | |
| Your kids are desperately screaming what I call a silent scream. | |
| That's right. | |
| And parents can't hear us. | |
| Amen. | |
| That's good. | |
| Yes, yes, yes. | |
| My children are as old. | |
| I have a four-year-old. | |
| She's soon to be five, a three-year-old son this year, and then a one-year-old daughter. | |
| But I realized something, especially through the fatherhood journey, because when our first child was born, Jacqueline, I realized, oh, I don't know how to be a dad. | |
| No one ever taught me. | |
| You know, I'm not to figure this out very quickly. | |
| But I realized I'm raising mirrors. | |
| They'll do what they see me do. | |
| They'll act how they see me act. | |
| They'll talk the way that I speak. | |
| And so I realized, you know what? | |
| The relationship with Jesus needs to get even deeper. | |
| It needs to go even more intimate. | |
| It needs to be more sincere. | |
| Not even just for my own sake, but because my children are watching me now. | |
| If they come, if I come home and they see me talking about co-workers or doing this or doing that or listening to things that aren't good, well, then they're going to think, well, that's just how we do it. | |
| We put on a mask when we leave the house. | |
| Me and my wife had a hard conversation. | |
| We said, you know what? | |
| Even if it hurts, we refuse to wear masks for other Christians. | |
| Even if it hurts, I was in my office with Pastor Q, he's one of our pastors here. | |
| And I apologize to him. | |
| I said, brother, I'm sorry because I was visibly like, you know, distressed over something that was told to me. | |
| And I had to leave the room. | |
| And I said, brother, I'm sorry. | |
| I'm not very good at hiding my emotions. | |
| And he says, we were never supposed to be. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And I said, okay, well, I'm just going to take a few minutes in my office and sit there and just think about what I was told. | |

Bind the Word of God
00:04:08
|
|
| And I realized we were never supposed to wear a mask. | |
| And friends, a lot of people have worn masks in front of their kids. | |
| And now their kids wear masks. | |
| We wonder why do they hide things? | |
| Why are they the way that they are? | |
| Why are they not willing to come forth and talk to me? | |
| Well, it's hard to talk to a mask, especially if it's a mask to another mask. | |
| So parents, grandparents, be there for your children. | |
| I try to bind the word of God to my heart, and I try to let my children see that. | |
| I try to bind the word of God to their heart. | |
| The other day I was driving T-Post. | |
| It was like 1:30 in the morning. | |
| I had a feeling I should go check on my sheep, and I did. | |
| And the whole gate, a whole part of my fence had fallen. | |
| They were wandering in the woods. | |
| So I got them back into their pen. | |
| I thought, okay, I have about 100 feet of T-post I have to drive and I have to pick the fence up. | |
| And so I'm driving T-Post. | |
| And I showed you, I think it's really late. | |
| I was tired. | |
| So, I lifted the T-post driver and I slammed it and I did it one more time and I missed on like the last one. | |
| I hit my shin. | |
| I immediately went to the ground. | |
| I really instantly, first thing out of my mouth was, God, please don't let my leg be broken. | |
| It's day two of this conference. | |
| It was like two days ago. | |
| I said, Lord, it was the first after the first time. | |
| I said, Lord, please don't let my leg be broken. | |
| Please don't. | |
| I was pleading. | |
| Please don't even want to look at it. | |
| And I said, You know what, God? | |
| I'm going to stand up in faith that my leg is not broken, that I'm going to be able to walk on this thing. | |
| I stood up, put some weight on it, fell right back down to the ground. | |
| I said, God, I'm going to believe it's not broken. | |
| I'm going to believe it's not broken. | |
| I was in this moment and I sat up on myself. | |
| My ram started walking up to me and I hit him with a stick. | |
| I said, Get away from me. | |
| He was going to try to hit me. | |
| I know he was. | |
| So he ran away from me. | |
| But I said, God, give me the strength to finish this for my sheep because I don't want a coyote to come in. | |
| I don't want a mountain lion to go. | |
| God, give me the strength to finish this for my sheep. | |
| And in that moment, this moment I'd been crying out in pain, but I hadn't cried tears yet. | |
| The Holy Spirit touched me and said, That's exactly the prayer Jesus prayed on the way to the cross. | |
| Give me the strength to finish this for my sheep. | |
| In that moment, I began to weep, not because my leg was hurting while it was. | |
| I began to weep because I realized, my goodness, God, everything that I'm going through pales into comparison. | |
| What you have done for us. | |
| So, friends, finish to fight the good race, but do it for your sheep. | |
| And, friends, if you're a grandparent or a parent, your sheep are your children and grandchildren. | |
| Fight for them. | |
| Even if you're not willing to do it for yourself, do it for them. | |
| Show them you can read the word of God even if you're down and depressed. | |
| You can read the word of God, even if you're anxious and going through things. | |
| You can stand firm on the truth that is Jesus Christ, even if you're going through trials and tribulations. | |
| Because I promise you, in Matthew chapter 7, we see two homes: one built on a firm foundation, one not built on a firm foundation. | |
| The same trials came to both homes. | |
| The wind blew on both homes. | |
| The water rose on both homes. | |
| Both homes were seeming to face imminent destruction. | |
| The only difference was the foundation. | |
| So, parents, grandparents, make sure your foundation is good and allow your children to build off of that foundation. | |
| Allow your grandchildren to build off of that foundation. | |
| The next generation truly depends on you. | |
| You have a heavy responsibility. | |
| Cling to the Lord and show them it doesn't matter if you're a man, you can cry. | |
| It doesn't matter if you're a grandfather outfather and you've been hard your whole life and you've seen things and you've done things. | |
| You can still have intimacy with Jesus Christ. | |
| It's your responsibility. | |
| You have a heavy weight and a big burden to bear, but I promise you you can bear it because his yoke is easy and his burden is light. | |
| And he's ready to give it to you. | |
| So be there. | |
| Mondo, a word you gave was incredible. | |
| Be present. | |
| Be there for them. | |
| Show up to those basketball games, even if you don't want to give them your Saturday. | |
| Show up to those dance recitals, even if you don't think it's fun that they're dancing around in the tutu. | |
| Be there. | |
| Be present. | |
| I promise you. | |
| I promise you, it'll change their lives because when they're old and whenever you're gone, they'll still have those memories. | |
| And they'll say, You know what? | |
| My dad wasn't a perfect man, but man, he loved Jesus and man, he loved his family. | |
| That's right. | |
| My grandfather wasn't a perfect man, but man, he loved Jesus. | |
| And man, he loved his family. | |
| That can be for you today. | |
| That's all the time we have, but I want to say thank you for being a part of the Ready Now Expo. | |
| These things go by so fast. | |
| I wish we had more time. | |
| But friends, remember this: if you're going to work or if you're waking up, if you're in the middle of your day, do not let anybody convince you otherwise. | |
| God loves you. | |
| He really does. | |
| Bye-bye for today. | |
| Thank you so much. | |
| Thank you, Joe, for being with us. | |
| God bless you. | |
| Amen. | |
