Pastor Jim Bakker and co-hosts John Ramirez and Mondo de la Vega—once united at California’s Dream Center after Jim’s prison release and Mondo’s gang exit—warn of escalating signs pointing to the Antichrist’s rise, including Israel’s third temple construction, AI mimicking sermons, and demonic attacks on churches like a Minneapolis service disruption. Ramirez cites global Christian persecution (Africa, North Korea) as proof of "Revelation time," urging prayer over reliance on technology while Bakker promotes Grid Down Chowdown as both a survival product and fundraising tool, framing the ministry’s financial crisis as a divine test. Their shared conviction: God’s faithfulness demands steadfast support now. [Automatically generated summary]
I wish I could tell that story someday because listen, if they want to know the story.
We were at the Dream Center together in California.
I was out of prison and I met you and you were my buddy.
Listen.
In prison, they called him road dogs.
And this is my road dog, Mondo.
I wrote about how we met in chapter 17 in my book.
And I hope you read it one of these days because it's a very beautiful story of how God brought an ex-gangster together with a man that God raised to birth Christian television.
And here I am, fresh out of the gangs, fresh out of the streets.
And God brings me to a place called the Dream Center.
And Pastor Tommy Barnett and Matthew Barnett believe in me.
And they gave you an opportunity to drive their guest around.
And you happened to be one of those guests.
And I had no idea who Jim Baker was.
Yeah, I'm reading it by it right here in the smoke.
It's so good.
It's in chapter 17.
Yeah, they can get it through PTL Network.
And of course, Jim Baker's show, or you can call.
And Charisma believed in me enough to say, hey, we want you to write a book and we want to publish it.
And here I am, a published author.
Can you believe that?
I see you.
You're reading this stuff.
Oh, it's a good story.
It's how we met.
You took me to places in.
In Los Angeles.
Yeah, you were fresh out of prison yourself, about a year out.
And you have, you were, I think you were touring, going to see Larry King and doing different shows.
And you asked Pastor Tommy Barnett if you can stop by and preach.
Yeah, Tommy Barnett invited me to come to the Dream Center.
Yeah.
And I fell in love with the place.
The people were amazing.
The Latino community has a way to love people in a way.
You remember what we did?
We swept streets.
Yeah, we picked up it was called Adopto Block.
Yeah.
And during Adopto Block, you cleaned the streets.
And at the end of the street, there was a beautiful lady there that prepared food.
She didn't speak any English.
Spanish lad, right?
Oh, yeah.
You remember all that?
Absolutely.
We ate it out in the yard, right?
Yeah, we ate out in the yard, and all she can say was, I love you.
And if you're hurting, that's all you need is something to say, I love you.
That's true.
Listen, if you're hurting today, we want to say we love you.
And we know that times are difficult right now.
And I'm so glad you turned in.
And most importantly, God loves you and he has a plan and a purpose for your life.
So we don't want to miss today's program.
John Ramirez with us.
You got to say it, John Ramirez.
You got to use that.
You do the access better.
Yeah.
Ramirez.
John, are you there?
I know you're Skyping in here.
I'm loving it.
John, I'm so glad to see you again.
God bless you, sir.
I want to ask you something.
It's a secret.
How old are you, John?
6'2.
62.
Oh, 62.
I thought you were closer to 16 than 62.
You look young.
You don't look old.
Hey, I'm trying to look like Nikki Cruz, you know?
Me and Mondo trying to be like Nikki.
Nick is like, I think Nick is 88 trying to push.
Wow.
Oh, my God.
You remember Nikki Chris?
Oh, of course I do.
I know.
I've interviewed presidents.
I probably introduced interview thousands of men, but now, but I'm at home on television.
Yeah.
That's all I've done for over 60 years.
That's a long time talking.
I wish you'd read this book.
I got it out today.
I didn't get it online with us.
My crazy life is true, Mondo.
My crazy life and the moments that brought a gangster to grace.
Can you imagine you and me almost 30 years ago?
Yeah.
Tommy told you to pick me up.
Yeah.
He gave me the responsibility to pick you up and take care of you while you were in town.
It was supposed to be a three-hour tour like Gilligan, and it turned to be almost 30 years.
Yeah.
And you know what?
I remember the first time I met you, Tommy was taking us on a tour.
Do you remember?
Absolutely.
And he did that it's big.
Yeah.
That place is doing a great work.
Yeah.
When there's trouble, people are being fed.
The Burnetts have done amazing jobs.
Yeah.
The Dream Center Matthew turns 52.
Oh, he was just a boy.
But you were quite young.
Yeah.
I was in my 20s.
Yeah.
And Tommy Burnett appointed you to take care of me, to pick me up.
And Tommy Burnett is a great preacher.
I love Tommy.
Great restorer.
And so you picked me up.
And then that day, I remember the first day taking tours.
They did a lot.
You were with me.
Yeah.
Can I tell the truth?
Sure.
And boys, guys came up to me.
I don't know who they were, but they're just some of the guys hanging around.
And they said, don't you know who Mondo is?
I don't care what he did.
He's serving Jesus now.
And so you were my buddy.
Yeah.
In the prison we call Road Dog.
Yeah.
And I don't know.
We bonded that from the beginning.
And we've been together 30 years.
But I tell you what happened.
John Ramirez is one of the key factors of I had to learn that the spirits of the dark spirits that were living inside of me, the demonic spirits, the witchcraft that we practice in the gang were really he was in the streets.
Yeah, John has a ton of this testimony.
I want to ask you, what in the world is happening in our country today from your point of view?
Hey, the stage is being built.
The platform is being set for the Antichrist.
I mean, from politics, politics, from AI, the stage is being set.
Israel is getting ready for the third temple.
And God is waiting for his comeback.
That's where we are today.
I mean, things are going to get dark, Jim.
We know, we know.
I mean, for the Christians, we got the hope of glory.
We got the light of the, we are the light of the world.
For those Christians that are sold out and are not compromising, for those Christians that are living for the truth of Jesus Christ, we're going all the way, but it's not going to be a place that is going to be comfortable for anyone.
God has given us the grace, the mercy, and God has given us the anointing, the Holy Spirit to fight the good fight, and the stage is being set.
I know there's a lot of things going on that Trump is doing that is really pathetic.
But there's things behind the scenes that AI is taking over because the only way you can, it's like me when I was in witchcraft, the only way that I was able to be productive in one night was to astro project, to curse regents, right?
I couldn't go door to door because it takes too long.
So if I prepare a system called AI, that is the platform that the Antichrist is going to use to control the North, the South, the East, or the worst of the world.
I ask AI to write a Jim Baker sermon.
I'm not kidding you.
Mondo, you know.
It was a Jim Baker sermon.
Oh, yeah.
I wrote it.
I didn't write it.
Uh-huh.
They used my terms.
Yeah.
Mando, how did it do that?
It knows your patterns, your algorithm, and it learns your behavior.
So they can mimic anybody, and that's what's dangerous.
Absolutely.
And that's what John is tying it into is that the system of artificial intelligence is making room for the Antichrist to manipulate.
John, how dangerous is it for Christians to play with artificial intelligence in the spirit realm?
Well, it's very dangerous because you got to look at the picture now, right?
We got, and I say this in love and love, I'm not picking up stones because, you know, there's no reason to, but most of pastors today, instead of bending the knee and getting their sermons from the Holy Spirit, they're getting their sermons from AI.
You're kidding.
They're getting this, they don't, we don't pray and seek the Lord like we used to, cry out.
We don't have a spirit of anguish like Nehemiah and ask God for a word.
We go straight to AI and ask AI to do something for us.
And today, the systems of the world are coming together.
It is the enemy orchestrating, manipulating.
That's a powerful word, manipulating, orchestrating, producing a counterfeit that seems so real.
I call it false realities and false imaginations that when you buy into this system becomes a reality in your life.
The Cost of Sweetness00:02:21
You can't live without it.
John, I want to ask you a point-blank question.
Are we in the last days that the Bible talks about?
I think we're standing on the shore of the last days.
We feel the winds.
We feel the rain and the storm coming.
Yes.
We feel it.
We're on the shores of the last days.
It's no hiding it.
There's no covering it.
I don't care how you paint it pretty.
We're in the last days.
That's right.
We are there, Pastor Jim.
We can stick our head in the sand and be ostrich and pretend it's not coming, but it's coming.
We'll be right back after this special message.

And now, back to the show.
Revelation Time00:15:21
We have a president that's trying to change America for good, I believe.
Trump is an outsider, but an instrument in the hands of a mighty God.
Right?
And Trump understands that there's biblical things that he's doing.
Is he a grounded Christian?
Is he a profound Christian?
Maybe not, but I can say one thing.
I can hear Trump talk about Jesus more than a lot of pastors doing the churches today.
John, just this week, an activist group in Minneapolis stormed the church on a Sunday service.
There's a vibration, a sound, a shaking in the spirit round that is coming against Christians.
It's happening.
We know it's happening in Africa.
Trump had to tell the people in Africa, get it together, stop killing Christians.
Trump had to send the military there.
Christians in North Korea, Christians in China, Christians in hot places, territorial hot places are being killed by the faith, by the faith.
But it's coming here too.
They don't go into mosques.
You don't see them going to mosque and shaking up the mosque, interrupting the service.
It's not because they're afraid of Muslim.
It's because they know that the true religion, the true religion is Christianity.
It is Christianity.
They come into the church.
They think that they can make havoc.
They think they can come into the church and push God around.
You ain't pushing God around.
You must be crazy.
You're just bringing judgment upon you.
I command that church and I command the people in that church.
They're all very peaceful.
I don't think I'm mature enough to handle that.
There's an antichrist spirit in the world.
We are in the last days.
I read Revelation and I'm going to be teaching a class here on Main Street.
Again, I haven't done it, Mondo, for about 20 years.
20 years.
But I think it's time to study because we are in the Revelation time.
And John, you are a messenger of God, and I'm thrilled to have you on the show today.
What does that mean when they're attacking a church during the religious services?
What does that mean to you?
You're man of the streets.
You're bad.
Well, the man in the streets right there, they see Amando.
Yeah.
I was a man of the unseen world.
Yes, that's right.
They think that they could come to the church and bring fear.
Now you're going to see that they came into the church.
They try to bring fear.
They're trying to dominate, they're trying to manipulate.
Now, they form a pattern in the spirit realm.
Now, you're going to see these activists go to other churches and do the same thing.
They call copycats in the demonic world.
So, they're going to come to other churches and think that they're going to rattle the other churches or whatnot to bring fear to the house of God so they can paralyze the worship, they can paralyze the service, and they can think that they can take over the house of the Lord in the spirit realm.
So, people say, I don't think I should go this Sunday.
I don't think I could bring my kids this Sunday.
Look what happened last Sunday.
I think I'm gonna watch it online.
I think I'm gonna be cautious.
You know, maybe I won't go.
I maybe watch it online.
And then it decreased in the physical, the attendance of the house of God.
Yeah, you know, Pat Roberts and I started the first Christian station.
I helped him in the first few years.
I don't know if you know, Mondo, but I raised all the money and I started the 700 Club show for years.
And I had people on that were like the people from Scotland and all.
And it was amazing.
And we got to get back to the gospel that will reach people.
We're in the final days.
There's a reformation taking place, not by choice, but when you start seeing the exposure of pastors that have not done their job, meaning John said it, they're not praying.
They're not seeking the face of the Lord.
I think about David Wookerson and talking about praying and asking God for a word, asking God for revelation, asking God for a prophetic word.
And we got to get back to the David Wookerson days where we sought the Lord for hours for the hour that we're in right now.
And this is why Christian television is so important because we can broadcast all over the nation, all over the world.
And this is where you come in.
You come in by supporting the program and standing with us and believing that we have the obligation and the responsibility and the maturity to reach one more for the kingdom of heaven.
Listen, call the number right now: 1-888-988-1588, and stand with us.
We need your help.
We need your support.
We got to keep broadcasting.
We got to keep people like John Ramirez's voice to help you interpret the times and the seasons that we're in right now.
Stand with us today.
I became a student of Revelation and I believe it's the now book.
Yeah.
We are living in Revelation time.
And it's time for Christian television to stay on the air, not go off.
Yeah.
And we need help today if we're going to stay on the air.
And John Ramirez is one of the old, but he's old.
But he's been around a long time and he's one of the pillars from the streets.
Yeah.
And he's got a message.
Yeah.
And he knows what's going on.
And the most persuasive spiritual attack is on churches, on pastors.
And I've prophesied that they're going to kill preachers.
And they killed Charlie Kirk.
And they brag about it.
They're proud of it.
You know what I mean, Mondo?
Absolutely.
They sent the message.
They sent the clear message that anything that stands with life, anything that stands, the message that believes and hope, the message that Jesus Christ is the only way, the truth, and the life is the message that they're going after.
It's the spirit of the Antichrist, just like John Ramirez began this program with.
We are in that hour, and it is so critical.
It is so important.
It is so vital.
It is so urgent that this program stays on the air again to bring voices like John Ramirez.
And listen, you can get John Ramirez's books.
And I want to tell you something.
He has some of the most powerful books.
The next chapter talks about his testimony and, of course, what happens after coming out of the demonic realm in the spirit realm.
And we are fighting against spirits right now, and we must understand how to pray through this.
I'm going to ask John to come back tomorrow because with a half hour, I don't give him an hour anyway.
And John's got a lot to say.
The prophets prophesied over me when I was 19 years old that I would help us in the coming of the Lord.
And I believe he's coming.
Yes.
Do you believe he's coming?
I do.
I see the signs.
I see the red flags.
I see the warnings.
I see Matthew 24.
And the hope we have is that when things are getting darker, the Bible says, Look up.
Oh, that's a signal right there.
Look up for your redemption draws near.
And I love what John said.
We are on the shore of the last days.
We have a product called Grid Down.
Grid Down Chowdown.
And this is meat.
Yeah.
That you can have in the last days and anytime.
You can just get this and for supper right now.
But you can in 10 years from now, you can have meat.
This is one of the greatest new products I've ever seen.
Grid down beef.
And it's amazing, Mondo.
Absolutely.
Tried it, I know.
Oh, we use it all the time.

Yeah, this is grass-fed, grass-finished.

But I need you.
I need you to help.

Time noise leaves this 30-minute show, but we want to tell people we're living in Revelation days.
Don't let anybody lie to you.
Do you know what they're preaching in churches?
That everybody's going to heaven.
That's going to kill people.
That's going to send people to hell.
Stay close to Jesus.
Believe in Jesus Christ.
It's the only way.
And ask him into your heart.
And you will go to heaven.
It's going to be great in heaven.
And you'll live forevermore.

But I believe that this gospel of the kingdom will be preaching to all the world.
And that's what Christian television is all about.
Yes, yeah.
God has provided for this ministry time and time again.
And we know he will continue to provide because he is faithful.

It's an act of obedience.
Your gift is an act of trust, an act of faith.

Amen.
I'm going to stand with you.
I'm going to teach you the end days in the days to come.
I'm going to teach you what to do and what's coming.
Amen.
The moment your mind shifts and you stop thinking about, okay, how do I get $10,000?
But instead, you start thinking, okay, how do I give $10,000?
Now you've turned the corner.
Now you're not just someone who sows.
Now you are a sower.
And that's who Jesus gives seed to.
And make no mistake about it in 2 Corinthians when he says he gives seed to the sower.
Paul is receiving an offering.
He's talking about finances in that moment.
I've never seen the righteous forsaken or a seed out begging for bread.
And I believe God wants to keep this program on the air.
We need as a church to understand that work while it is day because the night comes when no man will work.
What we do for Jesus right now is more important than we've ever, ever done before.
And I hope and pray that there's enough watching us today to say, listen, I want to make my world and my life count for Jesus in these days.
