Welcome to Revelation Warning,a weekly podcast hosted by Pastor
Robert Thibodeau as heinterviews prophecy experts from
around the world as we discusscurrent events in relation to Bible
prophecy.
All of this is to give theworld a final Revelation Warning.
Now, here is your host withthis week's guest, Pastor Robert
(00:29):
Thibodeau.
Foreign.
Hello, everyone, everywhere.
Pastor Robert Thibodeau here.
Welcome to the RevelationWarning podcast.
We are so blessed that you'rejoining us here today.
Well, 2024 is coming on.
(00:50):
It's been an interesting year,to say the least.
And we've seen Christianityattacked in this nation like never
before.
We've seen politicians justbasically surrendering the sovereignty
of the nation.
And we've seen naturaldisasters on a scale that, well,
some say hasn't happened forhundreds, if not sometimes thousands
of years, depending on whoyou're listening to.
(01:12):
And you know, we have Israelat war.
And mounting pressures fromnations all around the world are
continuing to condemn Israelfor defending themselves rather than
condemning the attackers andthe nations supporting terrorism
and all that.
And can I just add, though,that that's what the Bible says will
happen.
Amen.
But for believers, though,this is not a time of doom and gloom.
(01:35):
So far from it.
We're told by Jesus in Luke21:28 that when these things begin
to take place, look up foryour redemptions drawn near.
Amen.
With all that's happening,wouldn't it be nice to have just
a.
A peek at what could behappening in the Spirit this year?
It takes someone with aspecial gift from God to be able
to do that without soundinglike a soothsayer or a nut job, right?
(01:58):
It takes someone anointed byGod with this gift to lay things
out in a logical format.
That's what my guest is goingto do today.
Our guest today is Pastor BillJenkins of the Destinyland Christian
Center, Arancho, Cucamonga, California.
Love that name.
Every year he releases a newbook titled the Prophetic Almanac.
And if you've ever heard ofthe Farmers Almanac, well, the Prophetic
(02:20):
Almanac is the spiritualequivalent that will release a spiritual
vision for your personal life,and it gives a basic prophetic forecast
for our nation as well.
Pastor Bill is a 1991 graduatefrom Christ for the nations in Dallas,
Texas, my old stomping grounds.
And he's been in ministry wellover 30 years.
(02:40):
He has had his own televisionprogram on the TBN Network and hosted
Praise the Lord Himself a few times.
Praise God.
And he's written numerousbooks and has become well known as
A modern day apostle of Godwith a prophetic voice.
He and his wife Britton, theywork extremely hard to release the
message of hope into a worldin a very needful time such as this,
(03:03):
I might add.
Pastor Jenkins takes some ofthe toughest passages of scripture
and he can explain them in apractical and interesting way.
He's quickly becoming the goto guy when it becomes biblical interpretation.
And he also has a radioprogram on evangelism rail.
He's had that for severalyears now.
His program runs Mondaythrough Friday, I believe, 10 to
(03:24):
10:30am Eastern Time.
You can listenthat@angelismradio.com and every
year about this time I askedwe come back on this program, on
this podcast and share with ushis insights from the word of God
as he talks about the the newrelease, the new issue of the Prophetic
Almanac for this year, 2025.
And that's what we're going tobe talking about today as we leave
(03:47):
a very hectic and chaotic 2024 behind.
As we move into 2025, help mewelcome to the program our good friend,
Pastor Bill Jenkins.
Pastor, thank you for takingtime out of your schedule to visit
with us today.
Oh man, I always love beingwith you, love your heart and just
I'm so proud of what allyou're doing and, and so it's an
honor to be on the program today.
(04:09):
Amen.
I just want to jump right into this.
I mean we'll get into theelection results and all that stuff
in a moment, but I want tojust rewind a little bit first.
I know you go through theentire Bible and research every single
this year be 25th verse in theBible and allow the Lord to show
you how all of that applies tothis year, 2025.
(04:30):
Now last year you said 2024was a going to be a year of worship.
And what is the Lord showingyou that this year is going to be?
I, I guess you call it a themefor 2025, so to speak.
Well, the main theme for thisyear is going to be grace, because
when you look in the Bible,remember the easiest way to get to
25 is 5 times 5.
So 5 is the number of grace.
(04:52):
5 was used in the tabernacle,one of the best stories about the
foolish and wise virgins inthe New Testament.
So we get to 25 five times five.
So it's Grace, but it's grace quintupled.
So it's grace upon grace upongrace upon grace upon grace.
In other words, there'sprobably going to be a Lot of what
I call extra grace required.
(05:13):
People that come into yourLife here in 2025, and you need to
show people grace and offer forgiveness.
And remember, God gives usgrace, so we need to learn how to
give other people grace.
So if there's one thing that Icould break down of all the things
that I have in this book for avision for year, it's going to be
that this is a year of gracequintupled, where we need to have
(05:35):
five times as much grace aswe've ever had before to make it
successfully through this year.
Amen.
Amen.
Extreme grace.
Yes.
Yeah.
Amen.
Amen.
So 2025, how does that applyto the church, God's church, this
year?
(05:56):
Well, 2025, one of the thingsthat I do in the book, I break down
scriptures.
So, for instance, there are 66books in the Bible, and only 17 of
those books have a chapter 25.
So one of the things that I dois I look at every chapter 25 in
the Bible, and then I break itdown for you.
I give you a verse, and I giveyou a scripture.
(06:18):
I give you that little storythat's a part of what's in that chapter
to help to release a visionfor us for the year.
And so there's so many greatthings that I think are going to
happen in 2025, and that's oneof my favorite parts of the book,
it always is, is when I lookat these Chapter 25s, because I think,
you know, the best way to givea prophetic word is when it's based
(06:39):
upon the word of God.
So when you look in Genesis,it's about the power of prayer.
When you look in Exodus, it'sabout giving to God.
Exodus 20:5 is about really.
They started a building fundto build the tabernacle, but they
need money to do it.
You need money to do whatyou're doing.
Every church needs money to dowhat they need to do to build the
(07:00):
kingdom of God.
So we started a building fundthis year and are believing God to
continue to grow our churchhere in Rancho Cucamonga, California.
So when you look at thesebooks of the Bible that have a chapter
25 in them, I believe theyreveal God's plan to us.
You mentioned 2024 was a yearof worship.
Well, we're continuing thatbecause in 1st Chronicles, chapter
(07:21):
25, it's all about worship,worshiping God.
There's only two books of theBible in the New Testament, Matthew
and Acts, that have a chapter25 in them, and Matthew, chapter
25 is about being prepared,and then Acts 25 is about responding
correctly when you're falsely accused.
(07:42):
You know, Paul faced that.
You and I are going to face that.
But how do we respond topeople who don't like us?
And we're going to have enemies?
You know, Brother Bob, Ialways believe this, that, you know,
sometimes we ask people, well,do you have enemies?
And they say, no, I don'ttrust people who don't have enemies.
If you don't have enemies, youain't do anything.
Jesus had enemies, and you'regoing to have enemies.
And our enemies are meant tobe not stumbling blocks, but stepping
(08:06):
stones.
Remember, your friends arethere to comfort you, but your enemies
are there to promote you.
So if you use, you know, theproper procedures according to the
word of God, by blessing thosewho curse you and doing the right
thing, when people attack you,you're going to get elevated whether
do or not, because you're notresponsible for what they do to you.
You're responsible for whatyou do back to them.
(08:27):
And so this is such a key year.
I'm telling everybody that I can.
This could be the best year ofyour life, but it's really not about,
you know, other people or God.
God wants you to have the bestyear, but do you want to have the
best year?
And if you do, there's thingsthat you have to do.
And I believe when you applythe truth of the word of God, that's
what's going to cut throughbetween the soul and the spirit and
elevate you and cause you tohave great success here in 2025.
(08:50):
Amen.
Amen.
That's good.
Yeah.
You're.
You're talking about here.
If, if someone says they don'thave any.
Any enemies, that meansthey're friends with the enemy.
Yeah.
You are who you hang aroundwith, you know.
That's right.
And you are going to become five.
People you hang around with,you know?
Yeah.
(09:10):
And you'll become a product ofyour environment.
So whatever you're around iswhat you're going to end up becoming.
And so that's why it'simportant to hang around people that
are going to elevate you,people that are going to help to,
you know, it's tough enough.
If I stood on a chair, it'd beeasy for you to pull me down.
It'd be a lot harder for me topull you up.
And yet sometimes we'rewasting our time on people who aren't
(09:32):
ready to be helped.
And this is a year when we gotto help Those who want to be helped.
If people don't want to behelped, it doesn't mean we give up
on them and we just, you know,you know, absolutely avoid them.
But what it does mean is wecan't help people unless they want
help.
We know that.
Exactly.
And so don't waste your timeon people who don't want help.
There's so many people outthere, I believe in 2025 who are
(09:53):
going to be ready to be picked.
They're going to be part ofthe harvest and we need to go after
them, use our time wisely andmake sure that we are positioning
ourselves in a place ofprosperity so that we can have really
what I'm saying is the bestyear of our life.
Amen.
Amen.
You know, this is, I believethe, the, if I did my research correctly,
the 10th year that you've beenpublishing the Prophetic Almanac,
(10:16):
that, that's one thing I loveto see in ministry is leaders inconsistency.
And I appreciate yourconsistency, not just publishing
in this book every year, butin your consistency and serving the
Lord, preaching the gospel as well.
Was there anything special youincluded in this edition that's not
usually included in prior years?
Well, this is actually the11th year I've been doing the book.
(10:37):
I've been doing this for along time, but I've been writing
the book, the propheticalmanacs for 11 years in a row.
And so, you know, sometimes Ifeel like maybe I shouldn't.
But as long as God keepsgiving me the Word, I'm going to
keep giving it to everybody else.
And so just like in everyother book, I stay true to that pattern.
You know, I'm consistent.
People say, well, you mustlive an exciting life.
(10:59):
Well, really I'm a boring person.
You know, I get up early inthe morning, I pray, I have my prayer
time, I spend time with mywife, I do my job, I work, I do what
I got to do in life.
I'm not really, if you hangaround, you know, you're not going
to find that much excitement.
I'm going to be pretty busyand doing a lot of things.
But that's okay.
I'm not mad at that.
I'm not, you know, lookingdown at that.
(11:19):
It keeps me out of trouble andit keeps me focused in on God.
And so, you know, I put thesethings in the book.
We look at the number 25, wetalk about things historically that's
happened in 25, politicalthings, just things in general, maybe
things in entertainment,things in the Bible.
We give People who are born onthe 25th day of the month, a little,
(11:40):
little word in therespecifically for them.
We go and look at every state.
So we take 50 states, break itdown into five regions, give every
state a word, and then breakdown these regions.
And I'm believing for revivalto hit America.
I'm not just believing forrevival to hit California.
I'm believing revival to hitour nation like never before.
You know, you mentionedearlier about living in the last
(12:02):
days.
Well, I'm believing for thatend time revival.
I'm believing for it to happenthis year.
And I'm expecting God to pourout his spirit upon all flesh that
is truly pursuing him.
And so in the book, I putthings in there that, you know, God
has given me to give to thepeople, to give them a vision.
The Bible says without avision, the people perish.
(12:22):
I don't like people who don'thave a vision.
If you don't have a vision,that's a surefire way to get into
trouble.
And, you know, the devil canbring other things to cause you to
focus in on.
And, you know, we were talkingabout this before we ever started
the program.
You know, you're a focused man.
I'm a focused man.
Jesus was so focused that evenone of his close friends, he had
to call him Satan.
(12:42):
He said to Peter, satan, getbehind me.
Why?
Because there's a lot of goodthings that we could do, but there's
not a lot of God things thatwe can do.
And so you mentioned consistency.
I want to be consistent.
That's the only way I know howto be.
I want to be consistent.
This book is really the samesort of pattern and consistency that
(13:03):
it's always been where I laythese things out.
I give you scriptures, werelease to you some different, you
know, resolutions, commitmentsthat we can make for the year according
to the word of God.
And I love digging in the Word.
I love getting into the Bibleand seeing those secret things that
God wants to give us, to helpus to be all we can be in that coming
year.
(13:24):
Yeah, amen.
Amen.
Yeah, I love what you're justtalking about.
You know, we were talkingbefore the recording started, you
know, my exciting life day inand day out.
But that's what I'm happy doing.
You know, it's, it's consistent.
I know what is expected.
I know what I'm doing.
And that, that is, you know,when you, if you wake up knowing
(13:46):
what the Lord's plan is foryou for that day, that's a whole
lot better than Saying, well,I guess I don't have nothing to do
today, because that's whereyou start getting into trouble.
You know, by remainingfocused, you continue to serve the
Lord each and every day.
Amen.
I love, I love the intentionof your book as well.
I mean, it gives us a deeperperception for things to look for
(14:06):
in 2025.
In fact, I've heard you usethis example before.
Perception by looking atsomething through a magnifying glass
before.
Could you share that idea withour audience?
Yeah, I mean, we need toalways magnify the right things.
If I take a quarter and put itunder a magnifying glass, the quarter
doesn't become bigger.
The perception of that quarterbecomes bigger.
And so we need to magnify theright things.
(14:30):
That's why throughout thescripture, we're encouraged to magnify
God.
Because when we magnify God,God doesn't get any bigger than he
already is.
He's not like us.
We have good days, bad days.
God has good days every day.
So God is okay.
We don't need to worry abouthim or have a prayer meeting for
the Lord.
But what we do need tounderstand is that, you know, when
it comes to these things thatare in the Bible, God wants us.
(14:53):
Man, God, he longs for us tosearch out things in the Bible and
to get things from Him.
He wants to reveal stuff to us.
It's never a problem withGod's voice.
It's always a problem with our ears.
So we need to listen and openup our ears and hear what God has
to say and magnify the right things.
Because when we magnify God,God doesn't get bigger, but our perception
(15:16):
of God gets bigger.
And I often wonder, do we haveproblems or do we have perception
problems?
If your perception changed,maybe your problems would go away
if we had more faith in our life.
And I'm not talking aboutfaith and faith.
I'm talking about faith in God.
You can't just have faith andfaith and expect everything to work
out.
That's ridiculous.
(15:36):
You gotta have faith in theright places, and you gotta put your
faith in the Lord.
So when you do that, I thinkyou know that God responds.
We think that crying andyelling and screaming and all this
other mumbo jumbo stuff helps.
But God only responds to faith.
He doesn't respond to your need.
He doesn't respond to your tears.
He responds to your faith in Him.
(15:57):
And so when we magnify God,then our perception gets bigger.
God doesn't, but ourperception does.
And when our perception doeswe look at things through the lens
of the word of God, and westart believing that what is impossible
can now be possible.
Amen.
Amen.
You know, as you're sayingthat, I was thinking, you know, being
(16:18):
in the military, you know, weuse binoculars to scout things out,
of course.
And like I said, that makesthe perception a lot clearer for
us to look at.
And if you think about it,this just popped in my mind.
When we bring our problems toGod, we're magnifying the problems.
God's looking at them throughthe other ends.
(16:38):
If you turn binoculars aroundand look at it, everything becomes
real tiny.
And God's looking at like,that's not a problem.
If you turn around to him, Imean, he can fix the problem, because
to him, that's just somethingsmall, minor.
Yeah, we'll take care of that,be healed, boom, done, you're done.
You know?
Yeah.
Amen.
Amen.
Well, I think a lot of timeswhat can happen is, you know, we
(17:02):
don't accelerate ourselves outof problems the right way.
If you want to accelerateyourself out of an issue that you're
going through that you've hadfor a long time, it may not be the
devil, it may not be God, itmay be you.
You may not be doing thethings that God has told you to do.
So if you start to obey God,yield yourself and surrender to him,
what could happen is that'sone of the best ways to accelerate
(17:24):
yourself out of that situationand take it from where you're at
to where God wants you to be.
Yep.
Amen.
Amen.
What exciting things did yousee as you were studying for the
2025 prophetic almanac that weneed to be looking for?
Oh, man, I tell you what, Igot so thrilled in my spirit.
You know, it's a year of grace.
And when I first heard grace,I thought, man, you know, this is
going to be wonderful.
(17:44):
You know, this is much easierthan some of the previous years.
The problem with that is itgrace is not easy.
It's easy to ask God to giveus, but it's certainly not easy for
us to give other people.
And this is a year where Ithink we have to draw a circle around
ourselves and not point thefinger at everybody and understand
(18:06):
that grace is maybe deeper insome ways than what we have somewhat
looked at it.
You know, if you take the wordgrace, G, R A C E, you break it down.
It's God's riches at Christ expense.
We love that.
You know, that's great.
That's awesome.
But what is grace when youreally break it down.
I had written some things thatGod has given me down in the book
(18:29):
about, you know, grace isabout forgiveness instead of holding
a grudge.
It's about unconditional love.
It's about understandinginstead of being understood.
Grace is about compassion.
Compassion moves us to bringchange to a situation.
It doesn't just cause us tofeel sorry.
It's about giving people abreak when they do wrong.
You know, we're so quick tojudge people in the church sometimes,
(18:51):
and grace is about giving thema break and understanding they're
not always perfect.
You're not always perfect.
That doesn't give uspermission to sin.
But what it does do is ithelps us to understand we're not
judge and jury.
We're not the ones who decide.
You know, I think when we getto heaven, there's probably going
to be people there, you know,that we're going to be like, wow,
you know, hey, Brother Bob,they made it, you know, and then
(19:11):
there's going to be otherpeople, like, where are they at?
You know, where are they at?
And it's a matter of the heartin some of these issues.
And so when we talk aboutgrace, it's about believing the best,
not assuming the worst.
And I also put in there thingsthat grace is not like.
It's not a free pass to go outthere and do whatever you want to
and then expect, you know, theLord to forgive you of everything
that you do.
There are still consequencesto sin, and it's not a license.
(19:35):
Grace is not some license to sin.
And so when I begin to look atit, I guess, you know, one of the
things that I got the most outof it when I began to study and the
Lord began to speak to me, isthat God really loves me.
I've been in this thing a longtime, just like you.
I sometimes have a hard timebelieving that maybe I'll even go
to heaven.
You know, I don't deserve heaven.
And I still believe that, youknow, when I was a sinner, I did
(19:56):
a lot of things I shouldn'thave done.
So, you know, I wouldn't blameGod for sending me to hell because
I deserve a devil's hell.
But because of God's grace, Idon't have to get what I deserve.
And so I think that, you know,this is a year when God wants to
free us up.
He wants to free us up of thespiritual bondage we have placed
in and put ourselves under thelaw with and to allow us to experience
(20:19):
that love, to love him and toserve him and to go to church and
to pay our tithes and giveunto God, but to do it because we
want to, not because we have to.
So I really believe in manyways, this is a year of freedom for
people who, you know, willactually receive and embrace and
apply this word to their life,where they can get free from that
bondage, whether it bespiritual bondage or whether it be
(20:41):
some addiction they have intheir life that God can set them
free and set them up for success.
You know, I think that, youknow, God wants us to walk in forgiveness.
Forgiveness isn't about, youknow, you know, saying that what
somebody did to us is okay.
It's not even about other people.
When you think aboutforgiveness and grace, I don't give,
(21:02):
I don't forgive you for you.
I forgive you for me.
So I don't have to be bound towhat you did to me forever.
And so I think when weunderstand that it's not about, you
know, who is right, it's aboutwhat is right.
And we understand the power offorgiveness and giving grace to other
people, it's going to set usfree in our life and we're going
to be able to be free to flyhigh in the lord here in 2025.
(21:26):
Amen.
Amen.
Praise God.
Let's, let's shift over to theelection results for a moment in
your 2025 almanac.
What did you see that you putin that book that came true during
the election process?
And what do you see movingforward into 2025?
Well, if you remember, lastyear, you asked me the same thing
about the political question.
(21:48):
And I told you very clearly,Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and
the 24th president.
He was the only president upto today who was elected, had a,
you know, four year absence,and then came back into office.
Office.
And so I told you last yearand I believed it with all my heart,
even when the polls were down.
(22:09):
We don't go by polls.
We go by what God says, thatthere was going to be a shift in
the politics.
It got worse before it got better.
But we're seeing now, Trump isnow the 55th and the 57th president.
History repeated itself.
So when we talk about thesethings, you know, these are things
that, hey, I'm not sittingthere, you know, declaring, thus
saith the Lord.
(22:29):
I'm just revealing truth toyou that's coming to pass.
I don't take credit for that stuff.
I give credit just instudying, in learning, in digging,
and letting God speak.
All that is to the credit andthe glory of God, now this is a year
when people are going to getwhat they wanted, okay?
Now think about that.
That could be good, that couldbe bad.
I don't know.
(22:49):
It's up to that individual person.
I don't control whether youget blessed or cursed.
You do that.
And so I believe people aregoing to get what they want.
So we voted, we had anelection, we put a person in office,
we changed some things.
Now we have to make sure thatwe are doing the right thing.
Biblically.
I don't vote for peoplebecause they're Republican or Democrat.
(23:11):
I vote for issues.
I vote for policy.
I vote for principle.
I vote for people who vote for God.
You don't vote for God, Ican't vote for you.
And it can't be somebody who'sin one day and out the next.
And I don't expect thesepoliticians to be perfect because
in many ways I think they alla little crooked.
But I do believe that there'speople that God places and put in
(23:32):
office for certain times.
And so I think you're going tosee things change.
I think you're going to see,you know, the interest rates go down.
I think you're going to seethe economy improve.
I think you're going to seepeople get blessed financially.
I think you're going to see abetter spirit in our nation.
Is there still going to beproblems and, you know, terror attacks
(23:53):
like we've already had this year?
Sure there is, but you'regoing to see a paradigm shift.
You're going to see a changein the atmosphere.
And I believe it's going to beable to be felt.
So I think that we're enteringinto a season of prosperity, not
because of a politician, bythe way, but because of God.
And so I think this is a timeand a season where God is shifting
(24:14):
things in the spiritual.
And because he shifted intothe spiritual, it's going to manifest
in our natural realm.
And as a result, I think we'regoing to see a lot of things change
for the better, for Amen.
The people of God and for our world.
And I think that, you know,we're going to see some of the benefits
come to pass.
Now listen, if you want badthings to happen, keep on declaring
(24:37):
it, keep on calling it.
It'll come.
Whatever you declare out ofyour mouth.
You'Re going to search.
Sooner or later you're goingto get it.
But if you will be challengedto accept the word and prove the
word.
I'm okay with proving the word.
I'm okay with putting it tothe test, man.
When God answers our prayers,when God comes through, quit questioning
God and accept it for what it is.
(24:58):
And so I believe that we'reentering a time of change.
And it's a change for good.
It's an atmospheric change,it's a spiritual change.
And I believe that this nextseason of our life is going to be.
It's just going to beprosperous and it's going to be a
season of blessing for us inthe church.
(25:19):
Amen.
Amen.
In your book, you usuallyrecommend that we take some time
to pray, seek the Lord.
Well, for this year would bethe 25th day of every month and year
during the year.
What are some of thescriptures that come to mind right
now that led you to say that?
Yeah, well, one of the thingsthat we do is I look at every 2025
(25:42):
in the Bible.
I look at every 2025 in the Bible.
So when I look at thosethings, I just let God speak.
Whatever those scriptures say,whatever the 2025 scripture is, whatever
book of the Bible has achapter 25 and a verse 25 in it,
I just write it down for youand then break it down, give you
a little word for it so thatyou can see the power that God wants
(26:05):
to release in our life.
For instance, when you look inthere sometimes, it may not always
make sense, but when you lookin the word at some of the 2025s,
in 2nd Chronicles 2025, it was Jehoshaphat.
One of the best stories of theBible is in 2nd Chronicles 20, where
Jehoshaphat was surrounded bythe enemy.
He praised the Lord.
He called a prayer meeting.
(26:26):
And when he prayed, there wasa word that was given.
When they followed and obeyedthat word and gave God praise, the
enemies ended up turning on themselves.
And so they got the victory.
And so in second chronicles2025, it talks about, you know, how
they carried away the spoilsfrom the people because there was
bountiful blessings that werebeing released.
(26:48):
And so I have to trust theLord that this is going to be one
of the Scriptures 2025 in theBible, there's not a lot of 2025,
you know, chapter and verses.
And that's one of the thingsI'm believing it for it to be a year
of bountiful blessings for the church.
In job 2025, it's about not fearing.
You know, Job had so calledfriends, right?
Who needs friends like Job?
(27:10):
You know, we don't needfriends like that.
And they criticized him.
And in Job, chapter 25, one ofhis friends Gave his last speech.
It was his last ditch effortto prove to Job that he was wrong,
you know, in what he was doing.
He deserved what he was getting.
And you know, in job 2025, ittalks about not fearing.
This is a year.
Don't fear.
God's not giving us a spiritof fear, but power, love, and of
(27:32):
a sound mind.
First Samuel 2025 is about loyalty.
Second Samuel 2025 is aboutjournaling, writing things down.
Judges 2025 is about being a peacemaker.
So be a peacemaker.
Exodus 20:25 is about building altars.
Leviticus 20:25 is aboutcleanliness and how we need to be
(27:53):
clean, not just on theoutside, but be clean on the inside.
And so when we look at thesethings, I think it sets the table
for us to see what God has for us.
When we walk in obedience, dothe right thing, apply the word to
our life.
These things are ours.
So these scriptures aren'tjust thrown in there to add pages
to a book.
They're put in there becauseGod really put it and laid it on
(28:15):
my heart to share with thepeople who get this book that these
are things that are going tocome to pass in this year 2025.
It's not an accident.
We look at these chapter andverses and then whatever in there,
good or bad, we put it inthere so that you can see and have
an expectation of what Godwants to release in our lives this
year.
(28:36):
Amen.
Amen.
You just mentioned journaling.
I know you always encourage usthat we need to be journaling what
God's sharing with us in ourthoughts and prayers.
Why is that important for usto do?
Well, it's important becausewhat is the Bible?
It's more or less like alittle journal that, you know, these
people had, they wrote down,they kept these things when God said
they would do different things.
And so it's important,important for us to document stuff.
(28:59):
And when we document it, itsort of helps us.
You know, the Bible said,write the vision, make it clear so
they that read it can run with it.
Every year in our church, Ipass out a piece of paper for people
to write their vision, writethe, their goals down.
Professionally, physically,mentally, emotionally, maritally,
professionally, every way, inevery realm.
I have them write that out.
(29:20):
They make it copy, keep it forthemselves, put it in an envelope,
and then at the end of theyear, I'm going to give it back to
them so they can see if theyreach their goals.
To me, goals are important.
If you don't have a goal, youdon't know, you know, how do you
know if you're doing good?
You got to measure yourself.
You got to judge yourself.
The Bible said if you judgeyourself, you have no need to be
judged.
And so this is something I'vebeen doing all my Christian life.
(29:42):
And I believe it's importantto document, write things down, write
the vision, make it clear.
You know, nowadays with allthe, you know, improvements and all
the technology we have, peopledon't write anymore the way they
used to.
We need to write things downand document things so that when
God comes to pass, my middleson, he's 22, he did a little prayer
(30:06):
picture, and he put on there.
There's five different areaswhere he's putting things in, things
that he's praying for.
And in the middle, it'sanswered prayer.
So when one of those prayerson one of those sides get answered,
he puts it in the answer prayer.
And then he'll look back, andwhat it does is it stirs his spirit
to say, man, if God did thisonce, he can do it again.
If he did it for somebodyelse, he can do it for me.
(30:27):
And it just reminds us thatGod is there, God cares, and God
will come through, and itencourages us and it builds our faith
when we write things down andwe see them come to pass in our lives,
man, that's good.
Amen.
Praise God.
Now, last year, you closed the2024 prophetic almanac with 10 Commandments
for 2024.
(30:47):
Do you have those for 2025 as well?
Absolutely.
You know, I end the book byjust giving you little things that
God wants us to sort of havein our life and sort of do and keep.
These things, they're allbased upon things that I've already
put in the.
In the book, but little thingsthat we can do.
25 different, what I callprophetic principles that we can
(31:08):
cling to.
And it's just as simple aslife is short.
So live in the moment, youknow, don't worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow's going to take careof itself.
Just focus in on today.
Practice forgiveness,premeditate love, pay it forward.
You know, don't always letyour past dictate your future.
But, you know, look forward, man.
Pay it forward.
Embrace what you cannot control.
(31:30):
What a big sermon sentencethat is, right?
If you can't control it, maybeGod wants you to embrace it.
Speak well of yourself.
Quit being negative about whoyou are.
Speak well of yourself.
And you know why?
God speaks well of you.
So don't contradict what God says.
You're the apple of his eye.
Don't treat yourself like arotten, spoiled apple.
Look for solutions.
Don't always focus in on problems.
(31:52):
Don't take everything so personal.
People wear their feelings ontheir sleeves sometimes get offended
over every little thing.
I know you know, people whoare like that and they're just, they're
not fun to be around.
They get offended at everylittle thing.
Don't major on the minors.
Worry is wasteful.
Reset your life.
Go the extra mile.
Eliminate the unnecessary fromyour life.
(32:13):
Help those who are ready to be helped.
We talked about that earlierhere and then here's a good one.
Mind your own business in 2025.
Learn about everybody else.
You said, well, is that a God word?
Is that a God thought?
Absolutely.
I can prove to you from thescripture that you need to just mind
your own business, quitgetting in everybody else's business
and focus in on you.
(32:33):
Draw a circle.
Don't point the finger.
And so I continue to put inhere things like you are what you
think.
So whether if you think ithere, you are what you think.
So we always tell people youare what you eat, but spiritually
speaking, you are what you think.
So if you think you're ugly,you might be the most beautiful person
in the world.
But if you think you're ugly,if you believe you're ugly, then
(32:53):
you're ugly no matter what thetruth is.
So don't allow your thoughtsto surpass the truth of the word
of God.
Your thoughts can neversurpass truth.
So decisions determine your destiny.
Be a lesson or a blessing.
So in your life, be a lesson,you know, if you've done something
wrong, let somebody learn fromthat or be a blessing to somebody.
Set some boundaries.
(33:14):
Understand life is not fair.
Give grace, not judgment.
And then last of all, God isin charge.
Every day this year, God is in charge.
He's not going to take a day off.
He's not going to take a sick day.
He's not going to call in andbe absent.
He's not taking a vacation.
God is in control.
God is in charge.
So make sure that you areletting God be in control.
(33:34):
He doesn't need, you know, aco pilot.
He doesn't need a backseat driver.
He just needs you tosurrender, submit, let go, and let
God have his way here in 2025.
So true.
You know, as you're talkingabout, you know, the mind your own
business thing, as soon as yousaid that, the scripture popped in
my head where, you know, Peterwas, you know, the him and John seeing
(33:59):
Jesus on the shore and said,okay, Come with me, Peter.
He said, what about him?
He goes, don't worry abouthim, you know, don't worry about
him.
I got something for you to do,you know, don't worry about him.
Amen.
Amen.

around the world as we discusscurrent events in relation to Bible
prophecy.
All of this is to give theworld a final Revelation Warning.
Now, here is your host withthis week's guest, Pastor Robert
(00:29):
Thibodeau.
Foreign.
Hello, everyone, everywhere.
Pastor Robert Thibodeau here.
Welcome to the RevelationWarning podcast.
We are so blessed that you'rejoining us here today.
Well, 2024 is coming on.
(00:50):
It's been an interesting year,to say the least.
And we've seen Christianityattacked in this nation like never
before.
We've seen politicians justbasically surrendering the sovereignty
of the nation.
And we've seen naturaldisasters on a scale that, well,
some say hasn't happened forhundreds, if not sometimes thousands
of years, depending on whoyou're listening to.
(01:12):
And you know, we have Israelat war.
And mounting pressures fromnations all around the world are
continuing to condemn Israelfor defending themselves rather than
condemning the attackers andthe nations supporting terrorism
and all that.
And can I just add, though,that that's what the Bible says will
happen.
Amen.
But for believers, though,this is not a time of doom and gloom.
(01:35):
So far from it.
We're told by Jesus in Luke21:28 that when these things begin
to take place, look up foryour redemptions drawn near.
Amen.
With all that's happening,wouldn't it be nice to have just
a.
A peek at what could behappening in the Spirit this year?
It takes someone with aspecial gift from God to be able
to do that without soundinglike a soothsayer or a nut job, right?
(01:58):
It takes someone anointed byGod with this gift to lay things
out in a logical format.
That's what my guest is goingto do today.
Our guest today is Pastor BillJenkins of the Destinyland Christian
Center, Arancho, Cucamonga, California.
Love that name.
Every year he releases a newbook titled the Prophetic Almanac.
And if you've ever heard ofthe Farmers Almanac, well, the Prophetic
(02:20):
Almanac is the spiritualequivalent that will release a spiritual
vision for your personal life,and it gives a basic prophetic forecast
for our nation as well.
Pastor Bill is a 1991 graduatefrom Christ for the nations in Dallas,
Texas, my old stomping grounds.
And he's been in ministry wellover 30 years.
(02:40):
He has had his own televisionprogram on the TBN Network and hosted
Praise the Lord Himself a few times.
Praise God.
And he's written numerousbooks and has become well known as
A modern day apostle of Godwith a prophetic voice.
He and his wife Britton, theywork extremely hard to release the
message of hope into a worldin a very needful time such as this,
(03:03):
I might add.
Pastor Jenkins takes some ofthe toughest passages of scripture
and he can explain them in apractical and interesting way.
He's quickly becoming the goto guy when it becomes biblical interpretation.
And he also has a radioprogram on evangelism rail.
He's had that for severalyears now.
His program runs Mondaythrough Friday, I believe, 10 to
(03:24):
10:30am Eastern Time.
You can listenthat@angelismradio.com and every
year about this time I askedwe come back on this program, on
this podcast and share with ushis insights from the word of God
as he talks about the the newrelease, the new issue of the Prophetic
Almanac for this year, 2025.
And that's what we're going tobe talking about today as we leave
(03:47):
a very hectic and chaotic 2024 behind.
As we move into 2025, help mewelcome to the program our good friend,
Pastor Bill Jenkins.
Pastor, thank you for takingtime out of your schedule to visit
with us today.
Oh man, I always love beingwith you, love your heart and just
I'm so proud of what allyou're doing and, and so it's an
honor to be on the program today.
(04:09):
Amen.
I just want to jump right into this.
I mean we'll get into theelection results and all that stuff
in a moment, but I want tojust rewind a little bit first.
I know you go through theentire Bible and research every single
this year be 25th verse in theBible and allow the Lord to show
you how all of that applies tothis year, 2025.
(04:30):
Now last year you said 2024was a going to be a year of worship.
And what is the Lord showingyou that this year is going to be?
I, I guess you call it a themefor 2025, so to speak.
Well, the main theme for thisyear is going to be grace, because
when you look in the Bible,remember the easiest way to get to
25 is 5 times 5.
So 5 is the number of grace.
(04:52):
5 was used in the tabernacle,one of the best stories about the
foolish and wise virgins inthe New Testament.
So we get to 25 five times five.
So it's Grace, but it's grace quintupled.
So it's grace upon grace upongrace upon grace upon grace.
In other words, there'sprobably going to be a Lot of what
I call extra grace required.
(05:13):
People that come into yourLife here in 2025, and you need to
show people grace and offer forgiveness.
And remember, God gives usgrace, so we need to learn how to
give other people grace.
So if there's one thing that Icould break down of all the things
that I have in this book for avision for year, it's going to be
that this is a year of gracequintupled, where we need to have
(05:35):
five times as much grace aswe've ever had before to make it
successfully through this year.
Amen.
Amen.
Extreme grace.
Yes.
Yeah.
Amen.
Amen.
So 2025, how does that applyto the church, God's church, this
year?
(05:56):
Well, 2025, one of the thingsthat I do in the book, I break down
scriptures.
So, for instance, there are 66books in the Bible, and only 17 of
those books have a chapter 25.
So one of the things that I dois I look at every chapter 25 in
the Bible, and then I break itdown for you.
I give you a verse, and I giveyou a scripture.
(06:18):
I give you that little storythat's a part of what's in that chapter
to help to release a visionfor us for the year.
And so there's so many greatthings that I think are going to
happen in 2025, and that's oneof my favorite parts of the book,
it always is, is when I lookat these Chapter 25s, because I think,
you know, the best way to givea prophetic word is when it's based
(06:39):
upon the word of God.
So when you look in Genesis,it's about the power of prayer.
When you look in Exodus, it'sabout giving to God.
Exodus 20:5 is about really.
They started a building fundto build the tabernacle, but they
need money to do it.
You need money to do whatyou're doing.
Every church needs money to dowhat they need to do to build the
(07:00):
kingdom of God.
So we started a building fundthis year and are believing God to
continue to grow our churchhere in Rancho Cucamonga, California.
So when you look at thesebooks of the Bible that have a chapter
25 in them, I believe theyreveal God's plan to us.
You mentioned 2024 was a yearof worship.
Well, we're continuing thatbecause in 1st Chronicles, chapter
(07:21):
25, it's all about worship,worshiping God.
There's only two books of theBible in the New Testament, Matthew
and Acts, that have a chapter25 in them, and Matthew, chapter
25 is about being prepared,and then Acts 25 is about responding
correctly when you're falsely accused.
(07:42):
You know, Paul faced that.
You and I are going to face that.
But how do we respond topeople who don't like us?
And we're going to have enemies?
You know, Brother Bob, Ialways believe this, that, you know,
sometimes we ask people, well,do you have enemies?
And they say, no, I don'ttrust people who don't have enemies.
If you don't have enemies, youain't do anything.
Jesus had enemies, and you'regoing to have enemies.
And our enemies are meant tobe not stumbling blocks, but stepping
(08:06):
stones.
Remember, your friends arethere to comfort you, but your enemies
are there to promote you.
So if you use, you know, theproper procedures according to the
word of God, by blessing thosewho curse you and doing the right
thing, when people attack you,you're going to get elevated whether
do or not, because you're notresponsible for what they do to you.
You're responsible for whatyou do back to them.
(08:27):
And so this is such a key year.
I'm telling everybody that I can.
This could be the best year ofyour life, but it's really not about,
you know, other people or God.
God wants you to have the bestyear, but do you want to have the
best year?
And if you do, there's thingsthat you have to do.
And I believe when you applythe truth of the word of God, that's
what's going to cut throughbetween the soul and the spirit and
elevate you and cause you tohave great success here in 2025.
(08:50):
Amen.
Amen.
That's good.
Yeah.
You're.
You're talking about here.
If, if someone says they don'thave any.
Any enemies, that meansthey're friends with the enemy.
Yeah.
You are who you hang aroundwith, you know.
That's right.
And you are going to become five.
People you hang around with,you know?
Yeah.
(09:10):
And you'll become a product ofyour environment.
So whatever you're around iswhat you're going to end up becoming.
And so that's why it'simportant to hang around people that
are going to elevate you,people that are going to help to,
you know, it's tough enough.
If I stood on a chair, it'd beeasy for you to pull me down.
It'd be a lot harder for me topull you up.
And yet sometimes we'rewasting our time on people who aren't
(09:32):
ready to be helped.
And this is a year when we gotto help Those who want to be helped.
If people don't want to behelped, it doesn't mean we give up
on them and we just, you know,you know, absolutely avoid them.
But what it does mean is wecan't help people unless they want
help.
We know that.
Exactly.
And so don't waste your timeon people who don't want help.
There's so many people outthere, I believe in 2025 who are
(09:53):
going to be ready to be picked.
They're going to be part ofthe harvest and we need to go after
them, use our time wisely andmake sure that we are positioning
ourselves in a place ofprosperity so that we can have really
what I'm saying is the bestyear of our life.
Amen.
Amen.
You know, this is, I believethe, the, if I did my research correctly,
the 10th year that you've beenpublishing the Prophetic Almanac,
(10:16):
that, that's one thing I loveto see in ministry is leaders inconsistency.
And I appreciate yourconsistency, not just publishing
in this book every year, butin your consistency and serving the
Lord, preaching the gospel as well.
Was there anything special youincluded in this edition that's not
usually included in prior years?
Well, this is actually the11th year I've been doing the book.
(10:37):
I've been doing this for along time, but I've been writing
the book, the propheticalmanacs for 11 years in a row.
And so, you know, sometimes Ifeel like maybe I shouldn't.
But as long as God keepsgiving me the Word, I'm going to
keep giving it to everybody else.
And so just like in everyother book, I stay true to that pattern.
You know, I'm consistent.
People say, well, you mustlive an exciting life.
(10:59):
Well, really I'm a boring person.
You know, I get up early inthe morning, I pray, I have my prayer
time, I spend time with mywife, I do my job, I work, I do what
I got to do in life.
I'm not really, if you hangaround, you know, you're not going
to find that much excitement.
I'm going to be pretty busyand doing a lot of things.
But that's okay.
I'm not mad at that.
I'm not, you know, lookingdown at that.
(11:19):
It keeps me out of trouble andit keeps me focused in on God.
And so, you know, I put thesethings in the book.
We look at the number 25, wetalk about things historically that's
happened in 25, politicalthings, just things in general, maybe
things in entertainment,things in the Bible.
We give People who are born onthe 25th day of the month, a little,
(11:40):
little word in therespecifically for them.
We go and look at every state.
So we take 50 states, break itdown into five regions, give every
state a word, and then breakdown these regions.
And I'm believing for revivalto hit America.
I'm not just believing forrevival to hit California.
I'm believing revival to hitour nation like never before.
You know, you mentionedearlier about living in the last
(12:02):
days.
Well, I'm believing for thatend time revival.
I'm believing for it to happenthis year.
And I'm expecting God to pourout his spirit upon all flesh that
is truly pursuing him.
And so in the book, I putthings in there that, you know, God
has given me to give to thepeople, to give them a vision.
The Bible says without avision, the people perish.
(12:22):
I don't like people who don'thave a vision.
If you don't have a vision,that's a surefire way to get into
trouble.
And, you know, the devil canbring other things to cause you to
focus in on.
And, you know, we were talkingabout this before we ever started
the program.
You know, you're a focused man.
I'm a focused man.
Jesus was so focused that evenone of his close friends, he had
to call him Satan.
(12:42):
He said to Peter, satan, getbehind me.
Why?
Because there's a lot of goodthings that we could do, but there's
not a lot of God things thatwe can do.
And so you mentioned consistency.
I want to be consistent.
That's the only way I know howto be.
I want to be consistent.
This book is really the samesort of pattern and consistency that
(13:03):
it's always been where I laythese things out.
I give you scriptures, werelease to you some different, you
know, resolutions, commitmentsthat we can make for the year according
to the word of God.
And I love digging in the Word.
I love getting into the Bibleand seeing those secret things that
God wants to give us, to helpus to be all we can be in that coming
year.
(13:24):
Yeah, amen.
Amen.
Yeah, I love what you're justtalking about.
You know, we were talkingbefore the recording started, you
know, my exciting life day inand day out.
But that's what I'm happy doing.
You know, it's, it's consistent.
I know what is expected.
I know what I'm doing.
And that, that is, you know,when you, if you wake up knowing
(13:46):
what the Lord's plan is foryou for that day, that's a whole
lot better than Saying, well,I guess I don't have nothing to do
today, because that's whereyou start getting into trouble.
You know, by remainingfocused, you continue to serve the
Lord each and every day.
Amen.
I love, I love the intentionof your book as well.
I mean, it gives us a deeperperception for things to look for
(14:06):
in 2025.
In fact, I've heard you usethis example before.
Perception by looking atsomething through a magnifying glass
before.
Could you share that idea withour audience?
Yeah, I mean, we need toalways magnify the right things.
If I take a quarter and put itunder a magnifying glass, the quarter
doesn't become bigger.
The perception of that quarterbecomes bigger.
And so we need to magnify theright things.
(14:30):
That's why throughout thescripture, we're encouraged to magnify
God.
Because when we magnify God,God doesn't get any bigger than he
already is.
He's not like us.
We have good days, bad days.
God has good days every day.
So God is okay.
We don't need to worry abouthim or have a prayer meeting for
the Lord.
But what we do need tounderstand is that, you know, when
it comes to these things thatare in the Bible, God wants us.
(14:53):
Man, God, he longs for us tosearch out things in the Bible and
to get things from Him.
He wants to reveal stuff to us.
It's never a problem withGod's voice.
It's always a problem with our ears.
So we need to listen and openup our ears and hear what God has
to say and magnify the right things.
Because when we magnify God,God doesn't get bigger, but our perception
(15:16):
of God gets bigger.
And I often wonder, do we haveproblems or do we have perception
problems?
If your perception changed,maybe your problems would go away
if we had more faith in our life.
And I'm not talking aboutfaith and faith.
I'm talking about faith in God.
You can't just have faith andfaith and expect everything to work
out.
That's ridiculous.
(15:36):
You gotta have faith in theright places, and you gotta put your
faith in the Lord.
So when you do that, I thinkyou know that God responds.
We think that crying andyelling and screaming and all this
other mumbo jumbo stuff helps.
But God only responds to faith.
He doesn't respond to your need.
He doesn't respond to your tears.
He responds to your faith in Him.
(15:57):
And so when we magnify God,then our perception gets bigger.
God doesn't, but ourperception does.
And when our perception doeswe look at things through the lens
of the word of God, and westart believing that what is impossible
can now be possible.
Amen.
Amen.
You know, as you're sayingthat, I was thinking, you know, being
(16:18):
in the military, you know, weuse binoculars to scout things out,
of course.
And like I said, that makesthe perception a lot clearer for
us to look at.
And if you think about it,this just popped in my mind.
When we bring our problems toGod, we're magnifying the problems.
God's looking at them throughthe other ends.
(16:38):
If you turn binoculars aroundand look at it, everything becomes
real tiny.
And God's looking at like,that's not a problem.
If you turn around to him, Imean, he can fix the problem, because
to him, that's just somethingsmall, minor.
Yeah, we'll take care of that,be healed, boom, done, you're done.
You know?
Yeah.
Amen.
Amen.
Well, I think a lot of timeswhat can happen is, you know, we
(17:02):
don't accelerate ourselves outof problems the right way.
If you want to accelerateyourself out of an issue that you're
going through that you've hadfor a long time, it may not be the
devil, it may not be God, itmay be you.
You may not be doing thethings that God has told you to do.
So if you start to obey God,yield yourself and surrender to him,
what could happen is that'sone of the best ways to accelerate
(17:24):
yourself out of that situationand take it from where you're at
to where God wants you to be.
Yep.
Amen.
Amen.
What exciting things did yousee as you were studying for the
2025 prophetic almanac that weneed to be looking for?
Oh, man, I tell you what, Igot so thrilled in my spirit.
You know, it's a year of grace.
And when I first heard grace,I thought, man, you know, this is
going to be wonderful.
(17:44):
You know, this is much easierthan some of the previous years.
The problem with that is itgrace is not easy.
It's easy to ask God to giveus, but it's certainly not easy for
us to give other people.
And this is a year where Ithink we have to draw a circle around
ourselves and not point thefinger at everybody and understand
(18:06):
that grace is maybe deeper insome ways than what we have somewhat
looked at it.
You know, if you take the wordgrace, G, R A C E, you break it down.
It's God's riches at Christ expense.
We love that.
You know, that's great.
That's awesome.
But what is grace when youreally break it down.
I had written some things thatGod has given me down in the book
(18:29):
about, you know, grace isabout forgiveness instead of holding
a grudge.
It's about unconditional love.
It's about understandinginstead of being understood.
Grace is about compassion.
Compassion moves us to bringchange to a situation.
It doesn't just cause us tofeel sorry.
It's about giving people abreak when they do wrong.
You know, we're so quick tojudge people in the church sometimes,
(18:51):
and grace is about giving thema break and understanding they're
not always perfect.
You're not always perfect.
That doesn't give uspermission to sin.
But what it does do is ithelps us to understand we're not
judge and jury.
We're not the ones who decide.
You know, I think when we getto heaven, there's probably going
to be people there, you know,that we're going to be like, wow,
you know, hey, Brother Bob,they made it, you know, and then
(19:11):
there's going to be otherpeople, like, where are they at?
You know, where are they at?
And it's a matter of the heartin some of these issues.
And so when we talk aboutgrace, it's about believing the best,
not assuming the worst.
And I also put in there thingsthat grace is not like.
It's not a free pass to go outthere and do whatever you want to
and then expect, you know, theLord to forgive you of everything
that you do.
There are still consequencesto sin, and it's not a license.
(19:35):
Grace is not some license to sin.
And so when I begin to look atit, I guess, you know, one of the
things that I got the most outof it when I began to study and the
Lord began to speak to me, isthat God really loves me.
I've been in this thing a longtime, just like you.
I sometimes have a hard timebelieving that maybe I'll even go
to heaven.
You know, I don't deserve heaven.
And I still believe that, youknow, when I was a sinner, I did
(19:56):
a lot of things I shouldn'thave done.
So, you know, I wouldn't blameGod for sending me to hell because
I deserve a devil's hell.
But because of God's grace, Idon't have to get what I deserve.
And so I think that, you know,this is a year when God wants to
free us up.
He wants to free us up of thespiritual bondage we have placed
in and put ourselves under thelaw with and to allow us to experience
(20:19):
that love, to love him and toserve him and to go to church and
to pay our tithes and giveunto God, but to do it because we
want to, not because we have to.
So I really believe in manyways, this is a year of freedom for
people who, you know, willactually receive and embrace and
apply this word to their life,where they can get free from that
bondage, whether it bespiritual bondage or whether it be
(20:41):
some addiction they have intheir life that God can set them
free and set them up for success.
You know, I think that, youknow, God wants us to walk in forgiveness.
Forgiveness isn't about, youknow, you know, saying that what
somebody did to us is okay.
It's not even about other people.
When you think aboutforgiveness and grace, I don't give,
(21:02):
I don't forgive you for you.
I forgive you for me.
So I don't have to be bound towhat you did to me forever.
And so I think when weunderstand that it's not about, you
know, who is right, it's aboutwhat is right.
And we understand the power offorgiveness and giving grace to other
people, it's going to set usfree in our life and we're going
to be able to be free to flyhigh in the lord here in 2025.
(21:26):
Amen.
Amen.
Praise God.
Let's, let's shift over to theelection results for a moment in
your 2025 almanac.
What did you see that you putin that book that came true during
the election process?
And what do you see movingforward into 2025?
Well, if you remember, lastyear, you asked me the same thing
about the political question.
(21:48):
And I told you very clearly,Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and
the 24th president.
He was the only president upto today who was elected, had a,
you know, four year absence,and then came back into office.
Office.
And so I told you last yearand I believed it with all my heart,
even when the polls were down.
(22:09):
We don't go by polls.
We go by what God says, thatthere was going to be a shift in
the politics.
It got worse before it got better.
But we're seeing now, Trump isnow the 55th and the 57th president.
History repeated itself.
So when we talk about thesethings, you know, these are things
that, hey, I'm not sittingthere, you know, declaring, thus
saith the Lord.
(22:29):
I'm just revealing truth toyou that's coming to pass.
I don't take credit for that stuff.
I give credit just instudying, in learning, in digging,
and letting God speak.
All that is to the credit andthe glory of God, now this is a year
when people are going to getwhat they wanted, okay?
Now think about that.
That could be good, that couldbe bad.
I don't know.
(22:49):
It's up to that individual person.
I don't control whether youget blessed or cursed.
You do that.
And so I believe people aregoing to get what they want.
So we voted, we had anelection, we put a person in office,
we changed some things.
Now we have to make sure thatwe are doing the right thing.
Biblically.
I don't vote for peoplebecause they're Republican or Democrat.
(23:11):
I vote for issues.
I vote for policy.
I vote for principle.
I vote for people who vote for God.
You don't vote for God, Ican't vote for you.
And it can't be somebody who'sin one day and out the next.
And I don't expect thesepoliticians to be perfect because
in many ways I think they alla little crooked.
But I do believe that there'speople that God places and put in
(23:32):
office for certain times.
And so I think you're going tosee things change.
I think you're going to see,you know, the interest rates go down.
I think you're going to seethe economy improve.
I think you're going to seepeople get blessed financially.
I think you're going to see abetter spirit in our nation.
Is there still going to beproblems and, you know, terror attacks
(23:53):
like we've already had this year?
Sure there is, but you'regoing to see a paradigm shift.
You're going to see a changein the atmosphere.
And I believe it's going to beable to be felt.
So I think that we're enteringinto a season of prosperity, not
because of a politician, bythe way, but because of God.
And so I think this is a timeand a season where God is shifting
(24:14):
things in the spiritual.
And because he shifted intothe spiritual, it's going to manifest
in our natural realm.
And as a result, I think we'regoing to see a lot of things change
for the better, for Amen.
The people of God and for our world.
And I think that, you know,we're going to see some of the benefits
come to pass.
Now listen, if you want badthings to happen, keep on declaring
(24:37):
it, keep on calling it.
It'll come.
Whatever you declare out ofyour mouth.
You'Re going to search.
Sooner or later you're goingto get it.
But if you will be challengedto accept the word and prove the
word.
I'm okay with proving the word.
I'm okay with putting it tothe test, man.
When God answers our prayers,when God comes through, quit questioning
God and accept it for what it is.
(24:58):
And so I believe that we'reentering a time of change.
And it's a change for good.
It's an atmospheric change,it's a spiritual change.
And I believe that this nextseason of our life is going to be.
It's just going to beprosperous and it's going to be a
season of blessing for us inthe church.
(25:19):
Amen.
Amen.
In your book, you usuallyrecommend that we take some time
to pray, seek the Lord.
Well, for this year would bethe 25th day of every month and year
during the year.
What are some of thescriptures that come to mind right
now that led you to say that?
Yeah, well, one of the thingsthat we do is I look at every 2025
(25:42):
in the Bible.
I look at every 2025 in the Bible.
So when I look at thosethings, I just let God speak.
Whatever those scriptures say,whatever the 2025 scripture is, whatever
book of the Bible has achapter 25 and a verse 25 in it,
I just write it down for youand then break it down, give you
a little word for it so thatyou can see the power that God wants
(26:05):
to release in our life.
For instance, when you look inthere sometimes, it may not always
make sense, but when you lookin the word at some of the 2025s,
in 2nd Chronicles 2025, it was Jehoshaphat.
One of the best stories of theBible is in 2nd Chronicles 20, where
Jehoshaphat was surrounded bythe enemy.
He praised the Lord.
He called a prayer meeting.
(26:26):
And when he prayed, there wasa word that was given.
When they followed and obeyedthat word and gave God praise, the
enemies ended up turning on themselves.
And so they got the victory.
And so in second chronicles2025, it talks about, you know, how
they carried away the spoilsfrom the people because there was
bountiful blessings that werebeing released.
(26:48):
And so I have to trust theLord that this is going to be one
of the Scriptures 2025 in theBible, there's not a lot of 2025,
you know, chapter and verses.
And that's one of the thingsI'm believing it for it to be a year
of bountiful blessings for the church.
In job 2025, it's about not fearing.
You know, Job had so calledfriends, right?
Who needs friends like Job?
(27:10):
You know, we don't needfriends like that.
And they criticized him.
And in Job, chapter 25, one ofhis friends Gave his last speech.
It was his last ditch effortto prove to Job that he was wrong,
you know, in what he was doing.
He deserved what he was getting.
And you know, in job 2025, ittalks about not fearing.
This is a year.
Don't fear.
God's not giving us a spiritof fear, but power, love, and of
(27:32):
a sound mind.
First Samuel 2025 is about loyalty.
Second Samuel 2025 is aboutjournaling, writing things down.
Judges 2025 is about being a peacemaker.
So be a peacemaker.
Exodus 20:25 is about building altars.
Leviticus 20:25 is aboutcleanliness and how we need to be
(27:53):
clean, not just on theoutside, but be clean on the inside.
And so when we look at thesethings, I think it sets the table
for us to see what God has for us.
When we walk in obedience, dothe right thing, apply the word to
our life.
These things are ours.
So these scriptures aren'tjust thrown in there to add pages
to a book.
They're put in there becauseGod really put it and laid it on
(28:15):
my heart to share with thepeople who get this book that these
are things that are going tocome to pass in this year 2025.
It's not an accident.
We look at these chapter andverses and then whatever in there,
good or bad, we put it inthere so that you can see and have
an expectation of what Godwants to release in our lives this
year.
(28:36):
Amen.
Amen.
You just mentioned journaling.
I know you always encourage usthat we need to be journaling what
God's sharing with us in ourthoughts and prayers.
Why is that important for usto do?
Well, it's important becausewhat is the Bible?
It's more or less like alittle journal that, you know, these
people had, they wrote down,they kept these things when God said
they would do different things.
And so it's important,important for us to document stuff.
(28:59):
And when we document it, itsort of helps us.
You know, the Bible said,write the vision, make it clear so
they that read it can run with it.
Every year in our church, Ipass out a piece of paper for people
to write their vision, writethe, their goals down.
Professionally, physically,mentally, emotionally, maritally,
professionally, every way, inevery realm.
I have them write that out.
(29:20):
They make it copy, keep it forthemselves, put it in an envelope,
and then at the end of theyear, I'm going to give it back to
them so they can see if theyreach their goals.
To me, goals are important.
If you don't have a goal, youdon't know, you know, how do you
know if you're doing good?
You got to measure yourself.
You got to judge yourself.
The Bible said if you judgeyourself, you have no need to be
judged.
And so this is something I'vebeen doing all my Christian life.
(29:42):
And I believe it's importantto document, write things down, write
the vision, make it clear.
You know, nowadays with allthe, you know, improvements and all
the technology we have, peopledon't write anymore the way they
used to.
We need to write things downand document things so that when
God comes to pass, my middleson, he's 22, he did a little prayer
(30:06):
picture, and he put on there.
There's five different areaswhere he's putting things in, things
that he's praying for.
And in the middle, it'sanswered prayer.
So when one of those prayerson one of those sides get answered,
he puts it in the answer prayer.
And then he'll look back, andwhat it does is it stirs his spirit
to say, man, if God did thisonce, he can do it again.
If he did it for somebodyelse, he can do it for me.
(30:27):
And it just reminds us thatGod is there, God cares, and God
will come through, and itencourages us and it builds our faith
when we write things down andwe see them come to pass in our lives,
man, that's good.
Amen.
Praise God.
Now, last year, you closed the2024 prophetic almanac with 10 Commandments
for 2024.
(30:47):
Do you have those for 2025 as well?
Absolutely.
You know, I end the book byjust giving you little things that
God wants us to sort of havein our life and sort of do and keep.
These things, they're allbased upon things that I've already
put in the.
In the book, but little thingsthat we can do.
25 different, what I callprophetic principles that we can
(31:08):
cling to.
And it's just as simple aslife is short.
So live in the moment, youknow, don't worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow's going to take careof itself.
Just focus in on today.
Practice forgiveness,premeditate love, pay it forward.
You know, don't always letyour past dictate your future.
But, you know, look forward, man.
Pay it forward.
Embrace what you cannot control.
(31:30):
What a big sermon sentencethat is, right?
If you can't control it, maybeGod wants you to embrace it.
Speak well of yourself.
Quit being negative about whoyou are.
Speak well of yourself.
And you know why?
God speaks well of you.
So don't contradict what God says.
You're the apple of his eye.
Don't treat yourself like arotten, spoiled apple.
Look for solutions.
Don't always focus in on problems.
(31:52):
Don't take everything so personal.
People wear their feelings ontheir sleeves sometimes get offended
over every little thing.
I know you know, people whoare like that and they're just, they're
not fun to be around.
They get offended at everylittle thing.
Don't major on the minors.
Worry is wasteful.
Reset your life.
Go the extra mile.
Eliminate the unnecessary fromyour life.
(32:13):
Help those who are ready to be helped.
We talked about that earlierhere and then here's a good one.
Mind your own business in 2025.
Learn about everybody else.
You said, well, is that a God word?
Is that a God thought?
Absolutely.
I can prove to you from thescripture that you need to just mind
your own business, quitgetting in everybody else's business
and focus in on you.
(32:33):
Draw a circle.
Don't point the finger.
And so I continue to put inhere things like you are what you
think.
So whether if you think ithere, you are what you think.
So we always tell people youare what you eat, but spiritually
speaking, you are what you think.
So if you think you're ugly,you might be the most beautiful person
in the world.
But if you think you're ugly,if you believe you're ugly, then
(32:53):
you're ugly no matter what thetruth is.
So don't allow your thoughtsto surpass the truth of the word
of God.
Your thoughts can neversurpass truth.
So decisions determine your destiny.
Be a lesson or a blessing.
So in your life, be a lesson,you know, if you've done something
wrong, let somebody learn fromthat or be a blessing to somebody.
Set some boundaries.
(33:14):
Understand life is not fair.
Give grace, not judgment.
And then last of all, God isin charge.
Every day this year, God is in charge.
He's not going to take a day off.
He's not going to take a sick day.
