Pastor Jay delivers a powerful wake-up call about the critical importance of maintaining our spiritual vitality through prioritizing time with God in the "secret place" of prayer.
• Keeping oil in your lamp provides both spiritual light (discernment) and heat (love)
• Two distinct spiritual bodies are forming: the Bride of Christ and the Bride of Antichrist
• False prophets preach a "crossless gospel" that permits what God prohibits
• Psalm 91 promises protection specifically to those who "dwell" in God's presence
• Men have a special responsibility as spiritual coverings for their families
• The coming wave of deception will only be recognized by those with sufficient "oil"
• Leaven (compromise) acts as a "fire retardant" that slowly drains spiritual oil
• The importance of church attendance and spiritual disciplines has never been greater
Join Pastor Jay every Monday at 5:30 am for "Momentum" - a men's prayer call designed to help men set the spiritual tone for their families and communities. Like, subscribe, follow, and share to stay connected with more prophetic updates coming daily.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
What's going on everybody?
It's Pastor Jay here, live onDimensions, coming to you right
now.
I've got something real special.
Listen, I wanted to get on herebecause I am so excited about
some of the things that God isputting in my spirit and I want
you to be up to date on what Godis saying prophetically in the
prophetic now.
But before I do, as always,take a moment right now to like,
(00:39):
subscribe, follow, share,listen, go to every place you
can find a podcast, and we areprobably on there, and you can
download and become one of thelatest additions to the
Dimensions family and stay up todate on a whole lot of things
that are coming near you, andI'm going to be coming on a
whole lot more in this season.
(00:59):
In this hour, at least for 30minutes, I'm going to try to
shoot for as many days a week asI possibly can just to come to
you and to bring you propheticupdates, as the Lord is laying
it upon my heart.
And so take a minute right now,like, subscribe, follow, share,
go to the podcast store.
Let everybody know that you area Dimensions family member and
(01:22):
we are going to be going intosome things today.
Well, it's been a little bitsince I've been on and we are
going to be going into somethings today.
Well, it's been a little bitsince I've been on and I wanted
to come back to you and bringsome things, some updates to you
.
And I want to talk to you todayjust for a couple of moments
about prioritizing the secretplace.
You know, the Lord has reallybeen speaking to me about the
importance of keeping oil inyour lamp, sin and leaven out of
(01:44):
your life and making sure youkeep love in your heart.
So I'm going to say that againKeep oil in your lamps, make
sure you keep coldness out ofyour heart and love in your
heart and keep sin and leavenout of your life Three major
major things.
In this day and hour.
God's been speaking to meprophetically out of Matthew 24
(02:05):
and 25 in the season.
I really believe that wheneverything went on with Kirk
Franklin, the way that it did atthe BET Awards, that was a
harbinger of something that wasgetting ready to happen.
There was a turning point inthe earth and in the world today
and God spoke.
He said tell my people to makesure they keep oil in their
lamps, love in their hearts,tell my people to make sure they
(02:26):
keep oil in their lamps, lovein their hearts and sin and
leaven out of their life.
And so one of the reasons whythat's so important because when
you keep oil in your lamps, oildoes two things.
One, when it has a lamp, it canbring heat.
You can heat with oil, but youcan also give light with oil.
And there are two things thatyou're going to see happen in
the day and hour in which it isthat we live.
You're going to see coldnesslike you've never seen it before
(02:47):
, but you're also going to seedeception.
The coldness is going to comebecause the oil is beginning to
drop in people's lives.
The Bible says in Matthew 24that because iniquity would
abound, it said that because ofthat, that people's hearts would
grow colder and colder and thatoffense would come in.
And so it's important that wekeep that oil in our lamps.
(03:10):
Keep that oil in your lamp,because oil, number one, gives
light and number two, oil givesheat.
And as long as you're keepingyour heart warm, filled with
love, then, hallelujah, you'regoing to be able to stay.
You know you've got oil in yourlamp.
If you're losing light, thinkabout it when things get dark.
That's when the freaks come out, that's when the thieves come
out.
It's when it's dark.
(03:30):
You can't see them coming.
That's when deception hits.
So the devil wants you, in thisseason, to allow your oil
content to drop lower and lowerand lower.
So then, therefore, you are notable to be able to discern,
watch this deception.
You won't be able to discernthe lives.
I believe that we are in a dayand an hour right now, where
(03:51):
there are two brides beingprepared there's the bride of
Christ and then there's thebride of the Antichrist.
Very important that weunderstand that there's the
bride of Christ and there's thebride of the Antichrist.
They are happening right now.
You're going to see, in thistime and in this hour, two
churches coming up.
There will be two churcheswithin what we would call the
(04:13):
church Not that they're allChristians, not that they're,
because there's a pseudo churchthat's coming up as well as
there is the authentic, truechurch, true believers that are
being risen up.
There was a day and an hour, ifyou go back to the book of
Samuel, when Samuel was gettingready to have his rise as the
high priest of Israel.
You had Eli and then you hadSamuel.
(04:36):
Eli had two sons, hophni andPhinehas.
And Hophni and Phinehas werethe ones that were desecrating
the temple.
They were the ones that weresleeping with the women in the
temple.
They were the ones stealingfrom the sacrifice.
Eli would not correct them.
So God's judged Eli and hishouse.
But then, at the same time, godwas speaking to Samuel, and I
(04:57):
believe, if you're watchingright now, you are a Samuel that
God is raising up in thisseason, and even if you are in
the other camp, the reality isis that you're going to be able
to become a Samuel if you makethe right decisions even today.
And you need to understandsomething very, very important
here we are at a day in ourlapses.
Hophni, phineas, eli and Samuelwere all in the same house.
(05:21):
They were all in the same house, but God was bringing a divide
that was about to happen.
You are getting ready to seedeception at a level you've
never known before.
It is very, very important thatyou know the word of God.
Do not be led by your feelings,do not be led by your emotions.
Make sure that you are in achurch that is Bible teaching,
that believes in the power ofGod, the power of the Holy Ghost
(05:43):
, the gifts of the Spirit, themanifestation of the Word,
seeing souls saved and livestransformed, people that preach
holiness and righteousness, thatpreach the full counsel of the
gospel.
Not just appetizers anddesserts, but, baby, you got to
have your broccoli, you got tohave your cauliflower, you got
to have your green beans, yougot to have your peas.
(06:04):
You got to have all of that aswell.
It's important that we have awell-rounded diet, a full,
balanced breakfast.
Come on, somebody.
It is paramount that youidentify that, because every
church that has Jesus's name onthe door does not necessarily
mean that he's in the house, andso it's very important that we
identify those things for thishour, for this day.
(06:26):
So I wanted to set that upbecause it's very, very
important.
I believe that when that thinghappened with Kirk Franklin, it
showed that there was a mixingof the world and the church in a
way that was going to come.
There is a mass deception.
You're going to see a greaterdesecration.
You're going to see more menand women of God doing things
that the Bible forbids.
False prophets are going to becoming alive like never before,
(06:47):
because why?
The oil is running low, ladiesand gentlemen, and the end is
near and God is raising up hisbride.
He's separating his bride andthe Antichrist, the devil, is
separating his bride.
I want you to be ready.
Teach the word, be in the word,understand the word.
When you hear something, findout if it's in the word.
(07:09):
I don't care what they say andwhat they say about love and all
those things.
What does the Bible say?
We have to know what thescriptures say in this day and
in this hour.
Otherwise, as the oil gets low,the fire runs low.
Now watch this.
The darker it is, the easier itis for you to be deceived.
(07:29):
Deception comes in when the lampgoes out, when the oil goes out
.
It's amazing in Matthew 25 thatwhen he was talking to the
brides there, the five that werefoolish when they heard that
the bridegroom was coming, thefive foolish went to the five
wise and said hey, give us someof your own.
Said no, go and into the cityand buy for yourselves.
(07:52):
Ladies and gentlemen, can Itell you this the oil, come on,
somebody cost.
The oil has a price.
The anointing has a price.
The power of God has a price.
The blessing has a price.
The power of God has a price.
The blessing has a price.
It's based upon how you live.
You cannot mix with the worldand have the blessing of God.
I'm not one of those people thatbelieve living in holiness and
(08:15):
living in holiness and do all ofthat, but then God ain't going
to bless you.
I believe God wants to blessyou in the city, in the fields,
when you come and you go.
I believe God is a God ofprosperity.
If he wasn't, why would he pavethe streets with gold in heaven
?
Why would the gates be made outof pearl?
Why would there be diamonds andall sorts of jewels all
throughout heaven?
If God wasn't a God ofprosperity, he would make it
full of hay, wood and stubbleand everything else.
And the Bible even talks abouthow, when there's vessels of
(08:36):
honor, he said, the wood, hayand stubble, the stuff that
isn't no good, will be burned upin the fire.
But those that are built uponthe rock, those that have the
jewels in life, those that arefull of the Holy Ghost, that he
said, there'll be gold, silverand precious jewel.
That why would God mention that?
God wants you to be blessed.
But listen, this is what theLord spoke to me.
I want you to catch this.
God said in this season, mywealth will go to those that
(09:00):
have my oil.
My good God almighty, I believethat God is going to anoint
those that have my oil.
My good God Almighty, I believethat God is going to anoint
those that have the oil.
No, no, no.
I didn't say they named thename of God.
I didn't say they were inchurch.
I didn't say they had a bigchurch, small church, that they
dressed nice, had a nice car.
No, no, no, no.
He said my wealth is going togo to those that have my oil and
(09:22):
those that have the oil in theseason, that will be the great
divide that is coming.
I'm sharing all of this withyou because what I want you to
understand is the importance ofmaking sure that you prioritize
the secret place.
If you are going to keep oil inyour lamps, you've got to make
sure that you are in the secretplace.
(09:43):
There is a passage of scripturein Luke, chapter number five and
verse number 16.
I love it.
Now, jesus was 100% God, 100%man, but he had no sin in his
life, he never sinned.
There's no temptation that hastaken you that Jesus hasn't ever
faced, and I want you to seethis here.
Actually, I'm going to start inverse number 12.
(10:04):
Luke, chapter 5, verse number12.
We're going to read up to versenumber 16.
And it happened when he was in acertain city that, behold, a
man who was full of leprosy sawJesus and he fell on his face
and implored him, saying Lord,if you're willing, you can make
me clean.
Then he put out his hand andtouched him, saying I am willing
.
Be cleansed immediately,immediately.
The leprosy left him and hecharged him to tell no one, but
go and show yourself to thepriest and make an offering for
(10:26):
your cleansing as a testimony tothem, just as Moses commanded.
However, the report went aroundconcerning him all the more,
and great multitudes cametogether to hear and to be
healed by him of their infirmity.
Now look at it.
This is where everybody elsewould take off, start a run
doing all these things.
Look what it says off.
Started running doing all thesethings.
(10:46):
Look what it says.
So he himself often withdrewinto the wilderness and prayed,
because the more that the peoplepulled on him, the more time he
had to give to prayer.
I want to tell you something inthis day and hour you want to
prioritize the secret placeEvery morning.
Get up earlier than you startyour day.
If you start getting ready at5.30, get up at 5.
(11:07):
You get ready at 7, get up at6.00, 6.30.
Get up early and prioritize thesecret place.
The devil will always fight youfor the secret place.
Why?
He that dwelleth in the secretplace of the Most High shall
abide under the shadow of theAlmighty.
Look at this here.
(11:27):
Let's go to that real quickly,psalm 91.
Let's go there real quicklybecause I think this is going to
speak to you, psalm 91.
Listen.
You've got to prioritize thesecret place.
The devil will fight you forthe secret place.
We are no match for Satan, forhis deception.
We are no match for anythingthat he will bring into our
lives, unless we first have oilin our land.
(11:48):
The oil is reserved in thesecret place, hallelujah.
You've got to understand.
The secret place is where yougo to get the oil.
Look at this he who dwells inthe secret place to the most
high shall abide under theshadow of the Almighty.
Look at this he who dwells inthe secret place of the most
high shall abide under theshadow of the almighty.
(12:08):
Look at this.
Your speech is the result of thesecret place.
I will say of the Lord.
He is my refuge, my fortress,my God, and him will I trust.
I can tell where you dwellbased upon what you speak.
The Bible says out of theabundance of the heart, the
mouth speaketh.
Come on somebody.
Out of the abundance of theheart, the mouth speaketh.
Come on somebody.
Out of the abundance of theheart, the mouth speaketh.
(12:29):
And the reality is is that whenyou have the secret place in
your life, that is where the oilis.
Look, I will say of the Lord.
He is my fortress, my refuge,my God, and in him will I trust.
Hallelujah, surely.
He will deliver you from thestare of the fowler, from the
perilous pestilence.
(12:49):
He will cover you with hisfeathers and under his wings you
shall take refuge.
His truth shall be your shieldand buckler.
You will not be afraid.
See, a lot of times people areafraid because watch, watch this
.
People get afraid when they'rein the dark.
What do kids want to do?
Stay with me right now.
What do kids want to do whenthey're afraid?
Turn on all the lights, turnthe TV on, why the darkness
(13:10):
gives a place to fear.
When you don't have oil in yourlife, the spirit of fear will
come at you in a greater way.
There'll be greater fear.
You won't have the strength yougot to remember.
Fear is a spirit.
That's why the Bible says Godhas not given us the spirit of
fear, but of what?
Power, love and a sound mind.
That's why you have toprioritize a secret place.
(13:31):
What you speak comes out of thesecret place.
What you see, what you say,comes out of the secret place.
Listen to me the reality isfear or faith is a result of the
secret place.
And what happens in the secretplace?
The secret place is the placewhere you get your oil, and the
oil is where you confirm rightand see what's going on in your
world.
(13:51):
The oil is where you see themanifestation of God's goodness.
The oil is where you begin whenit's lighting up your world.
The oil is where you see themanifestation of God's goodness.
The oil is where you begin whenit's lighting up your life.
It's where you begin to seeGod's reality.
You don't see sickness, you seewellness.
You don't see helplessness orhopelessness.
You see hope and faith.
God gives you his perspectivein the secret place.
That's why I said you won't beafraid of the terror by day, nor
(14:13):
the arrow that flies by night,nor the pestilence that walks in
darkness, nor the destructionthat lays waste.
A thousand will fall at yourside and 10,000 at your right
hand, but it won't come nigh you.
Why?
Because you're in the secretplace the devil wants you to
sleep in.
The devil wants you to say oh,you know, it's too, I'm too busy
, I got a lot going on, listen,going on, listen.
The devil wants to keep you outof church.
(14:33):
I can't tell you how importantit is in this day and hour, more
now than ever, that you're inthe house of God.
You got to be in the house ofGod.
You got to be seeking the faceof God.
You got to draw near to thepresence of God.
You got to spend time with himeach and every single day.
You've got to draw near to theLord and you've got to be in his
house.
Don't allow online and streamingto replace church Now, online
(14:56):
and streaming to replace churchNow.
There are those that maybecannot get to church.
They just can't do it.
But don't allow fear to keepyou from the house of God.
That's a ploy of the enemy.
If God isn't giving you thespirit of fear, then why are you
letting fear hold you back?
It's amazing, one of the thingsthat kept people out of the
kingdom of God and he cast theminto darkness with people that
operated according to fear.
Don't allow fear to keep you.
Come on, somebody.
You've got to get into thatsecret place.
(15:18):
Look at what it says here.
A thousand will fall at yourside, 10,000 at your right hand,
but it won't come nigh.
When you have oil in your lampand you're in the secret place,
god will give you victory overyour enemies.
Only with your eyes will youlook and see the reward of the
wicked, because you have madethe Lord, who is my refuge.
Look at this.
Even the most high, yourdwelling place.
See, people want to claim Psalm91, but they don't want to
(15:40):
dwell with God.
That's the reason why you don'twant to put sin and leaven in
your life.
That's why sin will separateyou from the Father.
Leaven will keep you.
It'll retard your fire.
I said something to kind of puta play on, where I said are you
retarded?
And I said look at yourneighbor and say are you
retarded?
What do you mean?
Is your fire retarded?
Is there a fire retarded inyour life?
(16:02):
Is there something you're doingthat's causing your oil to
drain?
Is there something that you'redoing that's causing your fire
to dwindle?
Is there something that you'redoing that's causing you not to
have what it is that you need tohave?
But look at this here, becauseyou have made the Lord, who is
my refuge, even the most high,your dwelling place.
Listen, when you dwell with God,you will have the oil.
(16:24):
When you have the oil, you willwalk in the blessing of
almighty God.
You will be in the secret place.
Come on somebody.
Nor shall any evil befall you,nor shall any plague come near
your dwelling.
Look at this it's all peoplethat have oil in their lamp.
The oil is in the secret place.
He shall give his angels chargeover you to keep you in all
your ways In their hands.
(16:44):
They shall bear you up lest youdash your foot against a stone.
You shall tread upon the lionand the cobra.
Come on the young lion and theserpent.
You will trample underfootbecause he has set his love upon
me.
Therefore, I would deliver him.
I will set him on high becausehe has known my name.
He shall call upon me and Iwill answer him.
I will be with God.
Listen, god responds to theprayers of those that have the
(17:06):
oil.
When you have the oil in yourlife, god will begin to bless
you in your life, and so it'simportant that you have the oil
in your life.
Look at this here.
He'll call upon you.
He'll answer.
This is for those that dwell inthe secret place.
(17:26):
When you dwell in the secretplace, god will answer you.
He'll be with you in trouble.
He said I will deliver him andhonor him, and look at this.
And with he said I will deliverhim and honor him and look at
this, and with long life, I willsatisfy him and show him my
salvation.
I am more convinced now thanever that it is important for
you to be in the secret place.
The devil will fight you forthe secret place.
(17:49):
He will try to destroy you, tokeep you from the secret place,
because once you get the oil, heis no match for you.
He's no match for you, butwithout the oil, you are no
match for him.
In John 15, it says that apartfrom me, you can do nothing.
But he said if you abide in meand I in you, he said you can do
all things, but it's importantthat you are abiding in that
(18:11):
secret place.
So listen, I want to encourageyou today that if you're not
spending time in prayer, thatyou get up and get into prayer.
A man or woman is no greaterthan their prayer life.
It is so important that we areprioritizing the secret place,
and let me mention this realquickly.
I want to talk to some men realquick.
It is so important.
Let's go to Genesis, chapterthree, verse number nine.
(18:32):
Genesis three, verse numbernine.
I think this is very, veryimportant.
You know, we know the story ofAdam and Eve.
When they were in the gardenthey were tempted by the serpent
.
You know, it's amazing thatwhen you're in the secret place
he said the young lion and thecobra, the serpent and the lion
they won't be you'll trampleboth of them underfoot.
Why?
Think about it.
The serpent comes to deceivethe young lion.
(18:52):
The lions come to roar to bringfear.
So you got to understand thedeception and fear are two of
the major weapons of the enemy.
The lion brings fear, the cobrathe serpent they bring
deception.
That's their job.
They deceived Eve in the gardenand caused Adam to side with
God's archenemy, the devil, andwe know the story here of what
(19:16):
happens.
And so you have to remembersomething when you're in the
secret place watch this, thedevil.
Now I want you to see this thedevil excuse me, the devil does
not come out with all of hisguns because you're in the
secret place.
Notice, his job was to bringAdam and Eve out of the secret
place.
If he could get them out ofposition, then therefore, he
(19:40):
could impose his will upon them.
The number one way that Ibelieve that the devil starts to
bring people out of position isto bring prayerlessness into
their lives.
So very important here.
Now I want you to understandthis.
So we know the story.
Eve entertains the serpent, theserpent and the serpent tells
(20:01):
Eve listen, you can eat of anytree that you want.
It's all good, you're not gonnadie.
God knows that in the day thatyou eat of it, you are going to
be just like him.
This is what's amazing.
If you look in Genesis 3, let'sstart in verse 6.
After she entertains theserpent, look at the deception.
So when the woman saw that thetree was good, now watch this
(20:22):
you can tell when deceptioncomes into your life, because
you begin to see things contraryto the scriptures.
You begin to see thingscontrary to the word.
That's why you got to have theword, ladies and gentlemen.
You got to make sure you haveoil in your lamp.
That's why the Holy Spirit issymbolic of the oil in your lamp
.
They'll have the Holy Spiritdwelling in your life.
(20:43):
He is so important to us becausethe Bible says one of the
greatest passages of Scriptureto study on the Holy Spirit is
John 14, 15, and 16.
And in John 14, jesus said thatthe Holy Spirit would come,
that he would be the paracletos,the one who comes alongside to
help, and that he would lead usinto all truth.
Now look at this here when youdon't have oil in your lamps,
(21:04):
you're now no longer governed bythe spirit, but now you're
governed by the flesh, and thedevil has been given and granted
victory in the arena of theflesh.
I don't have time to go intoall of that, but the reality is,
that's why the devil doesn'twant you to pray.
He doesn't want you to have oilin your lap, why it exposes his
plans, it exposes hisdeceptions, it exposes his lies,
(21:27):
it brings it to the forefront.
So then, therefore, you canidentify it and walk in victory
in Jesus' name.
But look at this here Now.
It's so important.
That's why I said listen, don'tbe a person that's all about
signs, wonders and miracles, butdoesn't get into the Word and
don't be a person that gets somuch in the Word that you're not
into the Spirit.
The Bible says that God looksfor one that will worship Him in
spirit, where your signs,wonders, miracles, all those
(21:49):
things have it and, in truth,the Word.
It's very important.
You know, it's amazing thatwhen the Antichrist shows up,
says he will come with all signs, wonders, miracles and powers
that he'll even be able todeceive, deception comes.
Watch this.
When there's no word in yourlife, you can, because see, the
devil can make the hair stand upon your neck.
The devil can work miracles.
(22:10):
The devil's going to resurrectthe Antichrist from the dead.
I mean, things are going tohappen that are going to say, oh
my gosh, look at the power, butthere will be no word.
That's why in Amos, chapterthree I believe it is it talks
about I think I want to say it'sverse eight, but it's in Amos,
chapter three.
It says that there will be afamine for the word of God.
We are in that moment.
We have gotten lazy in the bodyof Christ when it comes to the
(22:31):
word.
We've got to get into the word.
These signs and wonders followthem that believe, believe what
the preaching of the word?
It is important that we knowthe word.
From Genesis to Revelation.
We've got to understand theimportance of the cross.
We've got to understand theimportance of taking up your
cross daily, denying yourselfand following.
(22:51):
We've got to understand theimportance of that, along with
prosperity, blessing and allthose types of things.
So the devil will bringdeception and you can tell when
you're deceived, because youstart leaning, you start seeing,
you start doing things that arecontrary to the word.
Now look at this here.
God already made it clear toEve.
This is what if you eat of thattree, you're going to die.
But after entertaining thedeception of the enemy, look at
(23:14):
what happened when the woman sawthat the tree was good for food
and that it was pleasant to theeyes.
A tree desired to make one wise.
She took her the fruit and ate.
She gave to her husband and heate with her.
Now look at this here Very,very important.
At one point she said man, youcan't touch.
It Said if you even touch thatfruit, you're going to die, even
though God never said that.
(23:35):
He said just don't eat of it.
But the reality is that that isexactly what the devil does.
You entertain that long enough.
You will become deceived.
And what happens when the oilgets low?
The light goes out.
The deception creeps in.
The coldness seeps into theheart.
Offense is what the devil willuse.
(23:56):
Deception is what he brings.
False prophets.
Y'all ready for this?
Watch this False prophets willalways preach a crossless
message.
Yeah, false prophets willpreach a crossless gospel.
It will give you rights to keepyour flesh alive.
(24:18):
You can always tell when it's afalse prophet, when it's a word
that is not from God.
It grants you access to whatGod says should be crucified.
It permits what God says is notpermissible.
It allows you to comply withwhat God says don't comply with.
And how do I know?
(24:39):
Because, listen, if you're notcareful, those things that the
false prophets that the worldbrings will begin to make sense
and all the devil has to do isput a little bit of leaven in
your tank and everything canshift in your world.
But if you stay connected tothe word, come on, ladies and
gentlemen, you will not bedeceived.
(24:59):
And when she sighed, she saidlook at verse six again.
I want you to see it again.
And when the woman saw that thetree was good.
So, because she entertained thedeception of the enemy, she
began to see that the tree wasgood.
Now, instead of that, and whathappened?
And I want to talk to the menhere, I want to talk to the men
here and look what happened.
And then she took the tree andthen she ate and gave to her
(25:22):
husband, and then the eyes ofboth of them were open.
What the carnality, the carnalman, the sinful nature.
That is what the devil gavebirth to in that moment.
And then, in verse nine, itjumps down and it says then the
Lord God called to Adam not Eve,but to Adam and said where are
you?
Adam had given up his place.
Men, it is so important I wantto talk to some men real quickly
(25:42):
it is so important that youspend that time for your family,
that you're in the presence ofGod.
Nothing happened when Eve ateof the fruit, but when the man
ate of the fruit, everythingshifted.
Sometimes, the number one thingthat the devil wants to do is
get the man out of place.
The man is the covering for thewife.
That means there are thingsthat the wife and the children
can get away with that the mancannot get away with and what I
(26:03):
mean by that.
There's a covering.
That can happen.
You can cover your family.
Just because your wife and yourchildren don't pray don't mean
you shouldn't pray.
Just because they sleep indoesn't mean you should sleep in
, doesn't because they don't goto church.
You don't go to church Justbecause they say let's stay home
, that doesn't mean you shouldstay home.
You need to get up and go tochurch.
You need to be up there liftingup your hands, praising God,
why you need out of your spouseand out of your children.
(26:31):
You can go, get what you needfrom the Lord and bring it back
to them.
Come on somebody.
That's why God said Adam, whereare you?
He was out of position.
Men of God, it's important tointerrupt early.
Every Monday morning I do aprayer, a live prayer call, at
5.30 am.
I call it momentum.
Why?
Because men set the tone and Iencourage every man to get up
every Monday morning 5.30 am andwe get together and we pray and
(26:58):
we study the Word of God.
And I want to encourage you tojoin with me.
Even if you're not a part ofour church, you can still hop on
the prayer call and join onMomentum and get on there 5.30
am and get up and pray.
Why there's a place reservedfor men.
It is so important.
It is so important, men andwomen of God, that we prioritize
the secret place in our lives.
(27:19):
Why?
Because then we can keep oil inour lamps, love in our heart
and sin and leaven in our out ofour lives.
Leaven is a fire retardant.
It is an oil leak.
Leaven produces oil leaks andthe oil slowly drips out of your
life.
Then you don't have what youneed.
And then what happens?
The deception comes in, thecoldness, seeps in, offenses
(27:40):
come in and when you get low onoil you will confuse Are you
ready?
Conviction, and you'll call itoffense why your flesh, which
should be crucified, is in theway of life.
What gives you the fire is thecrucifixion of the flesh.
Jesus said if any man will comeafter me, let him deny himself,
take up his cross and follow me.
(28:02):
God told me to get on here andencourage people today to
prioritize the secret place.
Get back into the secret place,spend time with the Lord in
prayer, get back to fasting andto prayer, seek the face of God
and watch what God will begin todo in and through your life.
It is so important in this dayand age.
(28:23):
Listen, I have never felt moreconvinced in my life about the
importance of people being inchurch, and just whether it's a
big church, little church, itdon't matter.
What size the church.
The question is is there oil inthe house?
It don't matter.
Big don't mean better, smalldon't mean better.
The question is is there oil?
Go where there's oil, becausewhen you leave out, your tank
will be full and that is theonly thing.
(28:44):
There is a mass deception thatis coming.
There is a wave of coldness anddarkness that is coming.
The Bible says in Matthew 24,because lawlessness would abound
, that the love of many wouldgrow cold, why Lawlessness
brings leaven and sin, which isa fire retardant.
It will drain the oil.
It stops you from paying theprice for the oil.
(29:07):
The man of iniquity, the man oflawlessness, is the Antichrist
that has been at work sinceJesus Christ got up out of the
oil.
The man of iniquity, the man oflawlessness, is the Antichrist
that has been at work sinceJesus Christ got up out of the
grave.
He has been at work in thechurch.
The Antichrist, he who opposesChrist.
And you are going to see amassive sweep of deception,
coldness, false prophets.
(29:28):
You're going to see more menand women of God, whether
singing, preaching, whateverthey're doing.
You're going to see moredefiling of the temple.
Maybe tomorrow I'll come backand I'll talk a little bit more
about my revelation on how thetemple will be defiled and why
it's leading up to theabomination of desolation, which
is where the Antichrist willsit in the temple.
Call himself God, say he is Godin the temple of God, and the
(29:52):
people will see him as such.
That can't happen overnight.
30 years ago, think about it.
30 years ago, the things thatpreachers got away with.
Today they would be crucifiedfor 30 or 40 years ago.
Nowadays, anything goes Back inthe day if you got a divorce,
your ministry was over.
Today, if you get a divorce,your ministry multiplies.
Everything is changing.
You can have four differentchildren by four different women
(30:15):
and the reality is that they'llstill celebrate it and people
will still say, oh, that's theman of God right there.
Now we do baby dedications fortwo women that call themselves a
family and two men that callthemselves that.
People are doing babydedications, and I mean we can
go on and on and on of all thethings that are being permitted.
We now have first gentlemen inthe house of God and people are
(30:36):
saying, and preachers are goingthere preaching for them and
honoring those marriages betweentwo men, which is not a
marriage at all, and all thesethings are happening.
This is where we are, ladiesand gentlemen, and if we're not
careful, if we're not careful,if we don't keep oil in our
lives, not even just for you,but for your children, for your
grandchildren, keep that oil intheir land, that they're not
(30:58):
swept away by the deception andthe blindness and the coldness
that is coming into the earth.
I just wanted to take a minute.

(00:59):
In this hour, at least for 30minutes, I'm going to try to
shoot for as many days a week asI possibly can just to come to
you and to bring you propheticupdates, as the Lord is laying
it upon my heart.
And so take a minute right now,like, subscribe, follow, share,
go to the podcast store.
Let everybody know that you area Dimensions family member and
(01:22):
we are going to be going intosome things today.
Well, it's been a little bitsince I've been on and we are
going to be going into somethings today.
Well, it's been a little bitsince I've been on and I wanted
to come back to you and bringsome things, some updates to you
.
And I want to talk to you todayjust for a couple of moments
about prioritizing the secretplace.
You know, the Lord has reallybeen speaking to me about the
importance of keeping oil inyour lamp, sin and leaven out of
(01:44):
your life and making sure youkeep love in your heart.
So I'm going to say that againKeep oil in your lamps, make
sure you keep coldness out ofyour heart and love in your
heart and keep sin and leavenout of your life Three major
major things.
In this day and hour.
God's been speaking to meprophetically out of Matthew 24
(02:05):
and 25 in the season.
I really believe that wheneverything went on with Kirk
Franklin, the way that it did atthe BET Awards, that was a
harbinger of something that wasgetting ready to happen.
There was a turning point inthe earth and in the world today
and God spoke.
He said tell my people to makesure they keep oil in their
lamps, love in their hearts,tell my people to make sure they
(02:26):
keep oil in their lamps, lovein their hearts and sin and
leaven out of their life.
And so one of the reasons whythat's so important because when
you keep oil in your lamps, oildoes two things.
One, when it has a lamp, it canbring heat.
You can heat with oil, but youcan also give light with oil.
And there are two things thatyou're going to see happen in
the day and hour in which it isthat we live.
You're going to see coldnesslike you've never seen it before
(02:47):
, but you're also going to seedeception.
The coldness is going to comebecause the oil is beginning to
drop in people's lives.
The Bible says in Matthew 24that because iniquity would
abound, it said that because ofthat, that people's hearts would
grow colder and colder and thatoffense would come in.
And so it's important that wekeep that oil in our lamps.
(03:10):
Keep that oil in your lamp,because oil, number one, gives
light and number two, oil givesheat.
And as long as you're keepingyour heart warm, filled with
love, then, hallelujah, you'regoing to be able to stay.
You know you've got oil in yourlamp.
If you're losing light, thinkabout it when things get dark.
That's when the freaks come out, that's when the thieves come
out.
It's when it's dark.
(03:30):
You can't see them coming.
That's when deception hits.
So the devil wants you, in thisseason, to allow your oil
content to drop lower and lowerand lower.
So then, therefore, you are notable to be able to discern,
watch this deception.
You won't be able to discernthe lives.
I believe that we are in a dayand an hour right now, where
(03:51):
there are two brides beingprepared there's the bride of
Christ and then there's thebride of the Antichrist.
Very important that weunderstand that there's the
bride of Christ and there's thebride of the Antichrist.
They are happening right now.
You're going to see, in thistime and in this hour, two
churches coming up.
There will be two churcheswithin what we would call the
(04:13):
church Not that they're allChristians, not that they're,
because there's a pseudo churchthat's coming up as well as
there is the authentic, truechurch, true believers that are
being risen up.
There was a day and an hour, ifyou go back to the book of
Samuel, when Samuel was gettingready to have his rise as the
high priest of Israel.
You had Eli and then you hadSamuel.
(04:36):
Eli had two sons, hophni andPhinehas.
And Hophni and Phinehas werethe ones that were desecrating
the temple.
They were the ones that weresleeping with the women in the
temple.
They were the ones stealingfrom the sacrifice.
Eli would not correct them.
So God's judged Eli and hishouse.
But then, at the same time, godwas speaking to Samuel, and I
(04:57):
believe, if you're watchingright now, you are a Samuel that
God is raising up in thisseason, and even if you are in
the other camp, the reality isis that you're going to be able
to become a Samuel if you makethe right decisions even today.
And you need to understandsomething very, very important
here we are at a day in ourlapses.
Hophni, phineas, eli and Samuelwere all in the same house.
(05:21):
They were all in the same house, but God was bringing a divide
that was about to happen.
You are getting ready to seedeception at a level you've
never known before.
It is very, very important thatyou know the word of God.
Do not be led by your feelings,do not be led by your emotions.
Make sure that you are in achurch that is Bible teaching,
that believes in the power ofGod, the power of the Holy Ghost
(05:43):
, the gifts of the Spirit, themanifestation of the Word,
seeing souls saved and livestransformed, people that preach
holiness and righteousness, thatpreach the full counsel of the
gospel.
Not just appetizers anddesserts, but, baby, you got to
have your broccoli, you got tohave your cauliflower, you got
to have your green beans, yougot to have your peas.
(06:04):
You got to have all of that aswell.
It's important that we have awell-rounded diet, a full,
balanced breakfast.
Come on, somebody.
It is paramount that youidentify that, because every
church that has Jesus's name onthe door does not necessarily
mean that he's in the house, andso it's very important that we
identify those things for thishour, for this day.
(06:26):
So I wanted to set that upbecause it's very, very
important.
I believe that when that thinghappened with Kirk Franklin, it
showed that there was a mixingof the world and the church in a
way that was going to come.
There is a mass deception.
You're going to see a greaterdesecration.
You're going to see more menand women of God doing things
that the Bible forbids.
False prophets are going to becoming alive like never before,
(06:47):
because why?
The oil is running low, ladiesand gentlemen, and the end is
near and God is raising up hisbride.
He's separating his bride andthe Antichrist, the devil, is
separating his bride.
I want you to be ready.
Teach the word, be in the word,understand the word.
When you hear something, findout if it's in the word.
(07:09):
I don't care what they say andwhat they say about love and all
those things.
What does the Bible say?
We have to know what thescriptures say in this day and
in this hour.
Otherwise, as the oil gets low,the fire runs low.
Now watch this.
The darker it is, the easier itis for you to be deceived.
(07:29):
Deception comes in when the lampgoes out, when the oil goes out
.
It's amazing in Matthew 25 thatwhen he was talking to the
brides there, the five that werefoolish when they heard that
the bridegroom was coming, thefive foolish went to the five
wise and said hey, give us someof your own.
Said no, go and into the cityand buy for yourselves.
(07:52):
Ladies and gentlemen, can Itell you this the oil, come on,
somebody cost.
The oil has a price.
The anointing has a price.
The power of God has a price.
The blessing has a price.
The power of God has a price.
The blessing has a price.
It's based upon how you live.
You cannot mix with the worldand have the blessing of God.
I'm not one of those people thatbelieve living in holiness and
(08:15):
living in holiness and do all ofthat, but then God ain't going
to bless you.
I believe God wants to blessyou in the city, in the fields,
when you come and you go.
I believe God is a God ofprosperity.
If he wasn't, why would he pavethe streets with gold in heaven
?
Why would the gates be made outof pearl?
Why would there be diamonds andall sorts of jewels all
throughout heaven?
If God wasn't a God ofprosperity, he would make it
full of hay, wood and stubbleand everything else.
And the Bible even talks abouthow, when there's vessels of
(08:36):
honor, he said, the wood, hayand stubble, the stuff that
isn't no good, will be burned upin the fire.
But those that are built uponthe rock, those that have the
jewels in life, those that arefull of the Holy Ghost, that he
said, there'll be gold, silverand precious jewel.
That why would God mention that?
God wants you to be blessed.
But listen, this is what theLord spoke to me.
I want you to catch this.
God said in this season, mywealth will go to those that
(09:00):
have my oil.
My good God almighty, I believethat God is going to anoint
those that have my oil.
My good God Almighty, I believethat God is going to anoint
those that have the oil.
No, no, no.
I didn't say they named thename of God.
I didn't say they were inchurch.
I didn't say they had a bigchurch, small church, that they
dressed nice, had a nice car.
No, no, no, no.
He said my wealth is going togo to those that have my oil and
(09:22):
those that have the oil in theseason, that will be the great
divide that is coming.
I'm sharing all of this withyou because what I want you to
understand is the importance ofmaking sure that you prioritize
the secret place.
If you are going to keep oil inyour lamps, you've got to make
sure that you are in the secretplace.
(09:43):
There is a passage of scripturein Luke, chapter number five and
verse number 16.
I love it.
Now, jesus was 100% God, 100%man, but he had no sin in his
life, he never sinned.
There's no temptation that hastaken you that Jesus hasn't ever
faced, and I want you to seethis here.
Actually, I'm going to start inverse number 12.
(10:04):
Luke, chapter 5, verse number12.
We're going to read up to versenumber 16.
And it happened when he was in acertain city that, behold, a
man who was full of leprosy sawJesus and he fell on his face
and implored him, saying Lord,if you're willing, you can make
me clean.
Then he put out his hand andtouched him, saying I am willing
.
Be cleansed immediately,immediately.
The leprosy left him and hecharged him to tell no one, but
go and show yourself to thepriest and make an offering for
(10:26):
your cleansing as a testimony tothem, just as Moses commanded.
However, the report went aroundconcerning him all the more,
and great multitudes cametogether to hear and to be
healed by him of their infirmity.
Now look at it.
This is where everybody elsewould take off, start a run
doing all these things.
Look what it says off.
Started running doing all thesethings.
(10:46):
Look what it says.
So he himself often withdrewinto the wilderness and prayed,
because the more that the peoplepulled on him, the more time he
had to give to prayer.
I want to tell you something inthis day and hour you want to
prioritize the secret placeEvery morning.
Get up earlier than you startyour day.
If you start getting ready at5.30, get up at 5.
(11:07):
You get ready at 7, get up at6.00, 6.30.
Get up early and prioritize thesecret place.
The devil will always fight youfor the secret place.
Why?
He that dwelleth in the secretplace of the Most High shall
abide under the shadow of theAlmighty.
Look at this here.
(11:27):
Let's go to that real quickly,psalm 91.
Let's go there real quicklybecause I think this is going to
speak to you, psalm 91.
Listen.
You've got to prioritize thesecret place.
The devil will fight you forthe secret place.
We are no match for Satan, forhis deception.
We are no match for anythingthat he will bring into our
lives, unless we first have oilin our land.
(11:48):
The oil is reserved in thesecret place, hallelujah.
You've got to understand.
The secret place is where yougo to get the oil.
Look at this he who dwells inthe secret place to the most
high shall abide under theshadow of the Almighty.
Look at this he who dwells inthe secret place of the most
high shall abide under theshadow of the almighty.
(12:08):
Look at this.
Your speech is the result of thesecret place.
I will say of the Lord.
He is my refuge, my fortress,my God, and him will I trust.
I can tell where you dwellbased upon what you speak.
The Bible says out of theabundance of the heart, the
mouth speaketh.
Come on somebody.
Out of the abundance of theheart, the mouth speaketh.
Come on somebody.
Out of the abundance of theheart, the mouth speaketh.
(12:29):
And the reality is is that whenyou have the secret place in
your life, that is where the oilis.
Look, I will say of the Lord.
He is my fortress, my refuge,my God, and in him will I trust.
Hallelujah, surely.
He will deliver you from thestare of the fowler, from the
perilous pestilence.
(12:49):
He will cover you with hisfeathers and under his wings you
shall take refuge.
His truth shall be your shieldand buckler.
You will not be afraid.
See, a lot of times people areafraid because watch, watch this
.
People get afraid when they'rein the dark.
What do kids want to do?
Stay with me right now.
What do kids want to do whenthey're afraid?
Turn on all the lights, turnthe TV on, why the darkness
(13:10):
gives a place to fear.
When you don't have oil in yourlife, the spirit of fear will
come at you in a greater way.
There'll be greater fear.
You won't have the strength yougot to remember.
Fear is a spirit.
That's why the Bible says Godhas not given us the spirit of
fear, but of what?
Power, love and a sound mind.
That's why you have toprioritize a secret place.
(13:31):
What you speak comes out of thesecret place.
What you see, what you say,comes out of the secret place.
Listen to me the reality isfear or faith is a result of the
secret place.
And what happens in the secretplace?
The secret place is the placewhere you get your oil, and the
oil is where you confirm rightand see what's going on in your
world.
(13:51):
The oil is where you see themanifestation of God's goodness.
The oil is where you begin whenit's lighting up your world.
The oil is where you see themanifestation of God's goodness.
The oil is where you begin whenit's lighting up your life.
It's where you begin to seeGod's reality.
You don't see sickness, you seewellness.
You don't see helplessness orhopelessness.
You see hope and faith.
God gives you his perspectivein the secret place.
That's why I said you won't beafraid of the terror by day, nor
(14:13):
the arrow that flies by night,nor the pestilence that walks in
darkness, nor the destructionthat lays waste.
A thousand will fall at yourside and 10,000 at your right
hand, but it won't come nigh you.
Why?
Because you're in the secretplace the devil wants you to
sleep in.
The devil wants you to say oh,you know, it's too, I'm too busy
, I got a lot going on, listen,going on, listen.
The devil wants to keep you outof church.
(14:33):
I can't tell you how importantit is in this day and hour, more
now than ever, that you're inthe house of God.
You got to be in the house ofGod.
You got to be seeking the faceof God.
You got to draw near to thepresence of God.
You got to spend time with himeach and every single day.
You've got to draw near to theLord and you've got to be in his
house.
Don't allow online and streamingto replace church Now, online
(14:56):
and streaming to replace churchNow.
There are those that maybecannot get to church.
They just can't do it.
But don't allow fear to keepyou from the house of God.
That's a ploy of the enemy.
If God isn't giving you thespirit of fear, then why are you
letting fear hold you back?
It's amazing, one of the thingsthat kept people out of the
kingdom of God and he cast theminto darkness with people that
operated according to fear.
Don't allow fear to keep you.
Come on, somebody.
You've got to get into thatsecret place.
(15:18):
Look at what it says here.
A thousand will fall at yourside, 10,000 at your right hand,
but it won't come nigh.
When you have oil in your lampand you're in the secret place,
god will give you victory overyour enemies.
Only with your eyes will youlook and see the reward of the
wicked, because you have madethe Lord, who is my refuge.
Look at this.
Even the most high, yourdwelling place.
See, people want to claim Psalm91, but they don't want to
(15:40):
dwell with God.
That's the reason why you don'twant to put sin and leaven in
your life.
That's why sin will separateyou from the Father.
Leaven will keep you.
It'll retard your fire.
I said something to kind of puta play on, where I said are you
retarded?
And I said look at yourneighbor and say are you
retarded?
What do you mean?
Is your fire retarded?
Is there a fire retarded inyour life?
(16:02):
Is there something you're doingthat's causing your oil to
drain?
Is there something that you'redoing that's causing your fire
to dwindle?
Is there something that you'redoing that's causing you not to
have what it is that you need tohave?
But look at this here, becauseyou have made the Lord, who is
my refuge, even the most high,your dwelling place.
Listen, when you dwell with God,you will have the oil.
(16:24):
When you have the oil, you willwalk in the blessing of
almighty God.
You will be in the secret place.
Come on somebody.
Nor shall any evil befall you,nor shall any plague come near
your dwelling.
Look at this it's all peoplethat have oil in their lamp.
The oil is in the secret place.
He shall give his angels chargeover you to keep you in all
your ways In their hands.
(16:44):
They shall bear you up lest youdash your foot against a stone.
You shall tread upon the lionand the cobra.
Come on the young lion and theserpent.
You will trample underfootbecause he has set his love upon
me.
Therefore, I would deliver him.
I will set him on high becausehe has known my name.
He shall call upon me and Iwill answer him.
I will be with God.
Listen, god responds to theprayers of those that have the
(17:06):
oil.
When you have the oil in yourlife, god will begin to bless
you in your life, and so it'simportant that you have the oil
in your life.
Look at this here.
He'll call upon you.
He'll answer.
This is for those that dwell inthe secret place.
(17:26):
When you dwell in the secretplace, god will answer you.
He'll be with you in trouble.
He said I will deliver him andhonor him, and look at this.
And with he said I will deliverhim and honor him and look at
this, and with long life, I willsatisfy him and show him my
salvation.
I am more convinced now thanever that it is important for
you to be in the secret place.
The devil will fight you forthe secret place.
(17:49):
He will try to destroy you, tokeep you from the secret place,
because once you get the oil, heis no match for you.
He's no match for you, butwithout the oil, you are no
match for him.
In John 15, it says that apartfrom me, you can do nothing.
But he said if you abide in meand I in you, he said you can do
all things, but it's importantthat you are abiding in that
(18:11):
secret place.
So listen, I want to encourageyou today that if you're not
spending time in prayer, thatyou get up and get into prayer.
A man or woman is no greaterthan their prayer life.
It is so important that we areprioritizing the secret place,
and let me mention this realquickly.
I want to talk to some men realquick.
It is so important.
Let's go to Genesis, chapterthree, verse number nine.
(18:32):
Genesis three, verse numbernine.
I think this is very, veryimportant.
You know, we know the story ofAdam and Eve.
When they were in the gardenthey were tempted by the serpent
.
You know, it's amazing thatwhen you're in the secret place
he said the young lion and thecobra, the serpent and the lion
they won't be you'll trampleboth of them underfoot.
Why?
Think about it.
The serpent comes to deceivethe young lion.
(18:52):
The lions come to roar to bringfear.
So you got to understand thedeception and fear are two of
the major weapons of the enemy.
The lion brings fear, the cobrathe serpent they bring
deception.
That's their job.
They deceived Eve in the gardenand caused Adam to side with
God's archenemy, the devil, andwe know the story here of what
(19:16):
happens.
And so you have to remembersomething when you're in the
secret place watch this, thedevil.
Now I want you to see this thedevil excuse me, the devil does
not come out with all of hisguns because you're in the
secret place.
Notice, his job was to bringAdam and Eve out of the secret
place.
If he could get them out ofposition, then therefore, he
(19:40):
could impose his will upon them.
The number one way that Ibelieve that the devil starts to
bring people out of position isto bring prayerlessness into
their lives.
So very important here.
Now I want you to understandthis.
So we know the story.
Eve entertains the serpent, theserpent and the serpent tells
(20:01):
Eve listen, you can eat of anytree that you want.
It's all good, you're not gonnadie.
God knows that in the day thatyou eat of it, you are going to
be just like him.
This is what's amazing.
If you look in Genesis 3, let'sstart in verse 6.
After she entertains theserpent, look at the deception.
So when the woman saw that thetree was good, now watch this
(20:22):
you can tell when deceptioncomes into your life, because
you begin to see things contraryto the scriptures.
You begin to see thingscontrary to the word.
That's why you got to have theword, ladies and gentlemen.
You got to make sure you haveoil in your lamp.
That's why the Holy Spirit issymbolic of the oil in your lamp
.
They'll have the Holy Spiritdwelling in your life.
(20:43):
He is so important to us becausethe Bible says one of the
greatest passages of Scriptureto study on the Holy Spirit is
John 14, 15, and 16.
And in John 14, jesus said thatthe Holy Spirit would come,
that he would be the paracletos,the one who comes alongside to
help, and that he would lead usinto all truth.
Now look at this here when youdon't have oil in your lamps,
(21:04):
you're now no longer governed bythe spirit, but now you're
governed by the flesh, and thedevil has been given and granted
victory in the arena of theflesh.
I don't have time to go intoall of that, but the reality is,
that's why the devil doesn'twant you to pray.
He doesn't want you to have oilin your lap, why it exposes his
plans, it exposes hisdeceptions, it exposes his lies,
(21:27):
it brings it to the forefront.
So then, therefore, you canidentify it and walk in victory
in Jesus' name.
But look at this here Now.
It's so important.
That's why I said listen, don'tbe a person that's all about
signs, wonders and miracles, butdoesn't get into the Word and
don't be a person that gets somuch in the Word that you're not
into the Spirit.
The Bible says that God looksfor one that will worship Him in
spirit, where your signs,wonders, miracles, all those
(21:49):
things have it and, in truth,the Word.
It's very important.
You know, it's amazing thatwhen the Antichrist shows up,
says he will come with all signs, wonders, miracles and powers
that he'll even be able todeceive, deception comes.
Watch this.
When there's no word in yourlife, you can, because see, the
devil can make the hair stand upon your neck.
The devil can work miracles.
(22:10):
The devil's going to resurrectthe Antichrist from the dead.
I mean, things are going tohappen that are going to say, oh
my gosh, look at the power, butthere will be no word.
That's why in Amos, chapterthree I believe it is it talks
about I think I want to say it'sverse eight, but it's in Amos,
chapter three.
It says that there will be afamine for the word of God.
We are in that moment.
We have gotten lazy in the bodyof Christ when it comes to the
(22:31):
word.
We've got to get into the word.
These signs and wonders followthem that believe, believe what
the preaching of the word?
It is important that we knowthe word.
From Genesis to Revelation.
We've got to understand theimportance of the cross.
We've got to understand theimportance of taking up your
cross daily, denying yourselfand following.
(22:51):
We've got to understand theimportance of that, along with
prosperity, blessing and allthose types of things.
So the devil will bringdeception and you can tell when
you're deceived, because youstart leaning, you start seeing,
you start doing things that arecontrary to the word.
Now look at this here.
God already made it clear toEve.
This is what if you eat of thattree, you're going to die.
But after entertaining thedeception of the enemy, look at
(23:14):
what happened when the woman sawthat the tree was good for food
and that it was pleasant to theeyes.
A tree desired to make one wise.
She took her the fruit and ate.
She gave to her husband and heate with her.
Now look at this here Very,very important.
At one point she said man, youcan't touch.
It Said if you even touch thatfruit, you're going to die, even
though God never said that.
(23:35):
He said just don't eat of it.
But the reality is that that isexactly what the devil does.
You entertain that long enough.
You will become deceived.
And what happens when the oilgets low?
The light goes out.
The deception creeps in.
The coldness seeps into theheart.
Offense is what the devil willuse.
(23:56):
Deception is what he brings.
False prophets.
Y'all ready for this?
Watch this False prophets willalways preach a crossless
message.
Yeah, false prophets willpreach a crossless gospel.
It will give you rights to keepyour flesh alive.
(24:18):
You can always tell when it's afalse prophet, when it's a word
that is not from God.
It grants you access to whatGod says should be crucified.
It permits what God says is notpermissible.
It allows you to comply withwhat God says don't comply with.
And how do I know?
(24:39):
Because, listen, if you're notcareful, those things that the
false prophets that the worldbrings will begin to make sense
and all the devil has to do isput a little bit of leaven in
your tank and everything canshift in your world.
But if you stay connected tothe word, come on, ladies and
gentlemen, you will not bedeceived.
(24:59):
And when she sighed, she saidlook at verse six again.
I want you to see it again.
And when the woman saw that thetree was good.
So, because she entertained thedeception of the enemy, she
began to see that the tree wasgood.
Now, instead of that, and whathappened?
And I want to talk to the menhere, I want to talk to the men
here and look what happened.
And then she took the tree andthen she ate and gave to her
(25:22):
husband, and then the eyes ofboth of them were open.
What the carnality, the carnalman, the sinful nature.
That is what the devil gavebirth to in that moment.
And then, in verse nine, itjumps down and it says then the
Lord God called to Adam not Eve,but to Adam and said where are
you?
Adam had given up his place.
Men, it is so important I wantto talk to some men real quickly
(25:42):
it is so important that youspend that time for your family,
that you're in the presence ofGod.
Nothing happened when Eve ateof the fruit, but when the man
ate of the fruit, everythingshifted.
Sometimes, the number one thingthat the devil wants to do is
get the man out of place.
The man is the covering for thewife.
That means there are thingsthat the wife and the children
can get away with that the mancannot get away with and what I
(26:03):
mean by that.
There's a covering.
That can happen.
You can cover your family.
Just because your wife and yourchildren don't pray don't mean
you shouldn't pray.
Just because they sleep indoesn't mean you should sleep in
, doesn't because they don't goto church.
You don't go to church Justbecause they say let's stay home
, that doesn't mean you shouldstay home.
You need to get up and go tochurch.
You need to be up there liftingup your hands, praising God,
why you need out of your spouseand out of your children.
(26:31):
You can go, get what you needfrom the Lord and bring it back
to them.
Come on somebody.
That's why God said Adam, whereare you?
He was out of position.
Men of God, it's important tointerrupt early.
Every Monday morning I do aprayer, a live prayer call, at
5.30 am.
I call it momentum.
Why?
Because men set the tone and Iencourage every man to get up
every Monday morning 5.30 am andwe get together and we pray and
(26:58):
we study the Word of God.
And I want to encourage you tojoin with me.
Even if you're not a part ofour church, you can still hop on
the prayer call and join onMomentum and get on there 5.30
am and get up and pray.
Why there's a place reservedfor men.
It is so important.
It is so important, men andwomen of God, that we prioritize
the secret place in our lives.
(27:19):
Why?
Because then we can keep oil inour lamps, love in our heart
and sin and leaven in our out ofour lives.
Leaven is a fire retardant.
It is an oil leak.
Leaven produces oil leaks andthe oil slowly drips out of your
life.
Then you don't have what youneed.
And then what happens?
The deception comes in, thecoldness, seeps in, offenses
(27:40):
come in and when you get low onoil you will confuse Are you
ready?
Conviction, and you'll call itoffense why your flesh, which
should be crucified, is in theway of life.
What gives you the fire is thecrucifixion of the flesh.
Jesus said if any man will comeafter me, let him deny himself,
take up his cross and follow me.
(28:02):
God told me to get on here andencourage people today to
prioritize the secret place.
Get back into the secret place,spend time with the Lord in
prayer, get back to fasting andto prayer, seek the face of God
and watch what God will begin todo in and through your life.
It is so important in this dayand age.
(28:23):
Listen, I have never felt moreconvinced in my life about the
importance of people being inchurch, and just whether it's a
big church, little church, itdon't matter.
What size the church.
The question is is there oil inthe house?
It don't matter.
Big don't mean better, smalldon't mean better.
The question is is there oil?
Go where there's oil, becausewhen you leave out, your tank
will be full and that is theonly thing.
(28:44):
There is a mass deception thatis coming.
There is a wave of coldness anddarkness that is coming.
The Bible says in Matthew 24,because lawlessness would abound
, that the love of many wouldgrow cold, why Lawlessness
brings leaven and sin, which isa fire retardant.
It will drain the oil.
It stops you from paying theprice for the oil.
(29:07):
The man of iniquity, the man oflawlessness, is the Antichrist
that has been at work sinceJesus Christ got up out of the
oil.
The man of iniquity, the man oflawlessness, is the Antichrist
that has been at work sinceJesus Christ got up out of the
grave.
He has been at work in thechurch.
The Antichrist, he who opposesChrist.
And you are going to see amassive sweep of deception,
coldness, false prophets.
(29:28):
You're going to see more menand women of God, whether
singing, preaching, whateverthey're doing.
You're going to see moredefiling of the temple.
Maybe tomorrow I'll come backand I'll talk a little bit more
about my revelation on how thetemple will be defiled and why
it's leading up to theabomination of desolation, which
is where the Antichrist willsit in the temple.
Call himself God, say he is Godin the temple of God, and the
(29:52):
people will see him as such.
That can't happen overnight.
30 years ago, think about it.
30 years ago, the things thatpreachers got away with.
Today they would be crucifiedfor 30 or 40 years ago.
Nowadays, anything goes Back inthe day if you got a divorce,
your ministry was over.
Today, if you get a divorce,your ministry multiplies.
Everything is changing.
You can have four differentchildren by four different women
(30:15):
and the reality is that they'llstill celebrate it and people
will still say, oh, that's theman of God right there.
Now we do baby dedications fortwo women that call themselves a
family and two men that callthemselves that.
People are doing babydedications, and I mean we can
go on and on and on of all thethings that are being permitted.
We now have first gentlemen inthe house of God and people are
(30:36):
saying, and preachers are goingthere preaching for them and
honoring those marriages betweentwo men, which is not a
marriage at all, and all thesethings are happening.
This is where we are, ladiesand gentlemen, and if we're not
careful, if we're not careful,if we don't keep oil in our
lives, not even just for you,but for your children, for your
grandchildren, keep that oil intheir land, that they're not
(30:58):
swept away by the deception andthe blindness and the coldness
that is coming into the earth.
I just wanted to take a minute.
Today I'm going to be coming toyou a whole lot more because I
want to equip you to be raptureready.
I want to equip you to know theword of God, to understand the
word, and ready I want to equipyou to know the word of God, to
understand the word.
And I want to equip you todayto make sure you prioritize the
secret place.
Read through Psalm 91 again.
Take a moment like, subscribe,follow, share.
(31:24):
I hope this has been a blessingto you today.
I pray God's greatest blessingupon you and I'll be back really
soon, maybe even tomorrow,right around the same time I'll
come back again just to give youanother fresh word and to help
you to keep oil in your lamps,to keep sin and leaven out of
your life and love in your heart.
God bless you and I'll see younext time right here.
