Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
You know what, ladies and gentlemen, there's a lot
going on in the world today.
We are truly living in the lastdays.
You know what?
I think it's so important thatwe are prepared and that we're
ready for the return of JesusChrist, more now than ever
before.
That's why I want to talk toyou a bit about the end times,
the great falling away, and howto be discipled in the season.
Discipleship is a lost art.

(00:26):
It's something that we all needto have in our lives.
Breakthroughs have beeninhibited as a result of not
having discipleship, and withthe great falling away that's
happening, that's going tocontinue to happen and
everything that's going on,we've got to be prepared for
what it is that's coming.
Listen, I've got a lot to sharewith you.
I hope that you'll keep itlocked, because all that and

So listen, I want to talk to youtoday about the end times.
I believe that we are in theend, and this is the beginning

(02:41):
of the end and the last of thelast of the end, and we've been
there in the last days Even Paulwrote about it.
End, and we've been sayingwe're in the last days.
Even Paul wrote about it toTimothy, and we know that we're
in the last days, but I believethat we are truly in the end
like never before.
I believe that we are gettingready to go headlong right into
the middle of the tribulation byway of the rapture of the
church, and I believe that thisis a very, very, very perilous

(03:02):
time.
What do I mean by that?
It's a time that God has givenme a prophetic warning to let
people know.
This is a time that his peoplemust be rooted and grounded.
This is the time to be inchurch.
This is the time to have oil inyour lamps.
This is the time to be close toGod.
This is a time to develop yourprayer life.
This is a time to be serving inyour church to keep the sin and

(03:22):
leaven, even the leaven, out ofyour life, those things that
cause your passion for God tobegin to dwindle.
That's something else I'll betalking about very, very soon.
We don't talk enough aboutleaven.
Leaven is very, very bad stuff,ladies and gentlemen.
It's a fire retardant.
Your fire for God will dwindleevery time you mess around with

(03:42):
leaven.
They are things that may notare necessarily sin, but what it
does is it begins to feed theappetite of the carnal nature
and in the old man, and if youdon't recognize your walk, you
know.
The Bible talks about theimportance of possessing our own
souls and we have to know howto walk with God in our walks.
There are some things thatother people can do, that you

(04:04):
won't be able to do.
There are some things thatother people can do that you
won't be able to do.
There are some things that youwill be able to do that other
people won't do, and that's whywe shouldn't judge others for
how they live or how they don'tlive, because you know what God
may require, a different recipefor you.
But one thing I can tell youthis is one thing I know of a
surety, before anybody gets thattwisted the more of the world
that you ingest, the less of Godyou will have, and it's very,

(04:26):
very important I talked aboutthat before how the Bible says.
Jesus said in Matthew, chapterseven enter in at the straight
gate, or wide is the gate andbroad is the way that leads to
destruction, and many are goingin there at because straight is
the gate and narrow is the waywhich leads to life and few are
those that find him.
The greater your anointing, thegreater your call, the greater

(04:48):
that God has blessed you to bewho you are and to walk in the
fullness of his glory, thetighter your walk will have to
be in the less of the worldyou'll be able to participate in
.
That is just a fact, ladies andgentlemen.
It is just truth and it is justan assurity.
And like I always tell people,now, watch this Very, very
important Part of this greatfalling away and being in the
end times.
The Bible said there would beperilous times, tough to deal

(05:12):
with times.
Why?
Because false teachers wouldbegin to arise.
And what are they going to do?
Remember, false teachers willalways remove you.
Ready for this.
They will remove the premiumfor the blessing and they will
remove the penalty for sin, orat least they will lessen either
one.
They'll bring the premium fromhere down to here.
God will bless you, but listen,you don't have to do all of
that, just do this here.

(05:32):
And then the penalty for sin.
They will say you know what?
You don't have to pay this much, it'll only be this much.
God understands, he constantlywhy.
The more watch this, the moreyou have sin and leaven in your
life, the less you will have theblessing.
The more that you eat at thedevil's table, the more access
that he will have to your life.

(05:54):
The more things of the worldthat you ingest on a daily basis
, the more of a window andopportunity that you will give
Satan the ability to come intoyour life.
Yes, is there a such thing asgoing too far?
But no, I do not believe thisis the day and hour that people
need to be worried about that.
We are not in church too much.
We are not praying too much.
We ain't living back in the daywhere people went to church

(06:15):
seven, eight days a week, seven,eight times in a week.
That's not the day and hourthat we're living in.
We're living in a day nowadayswhere people do express services
In and out in 30,.
We're like dominoes 30 minutesor less.
You know that's what we do.
We don't have everything bakedup and cooked and ready to go,
and if you give God 30 minutes aday, you won't have everything
that you need.
But, ladies and gentlemen, letme tell you something that devil

(06:35):
is a liar.
I have tried the 30 minutething.
I shared a little bit yesterdaywith my church about.
Remember the whole six minutead piece how people could do six
minutes a day and you'll getthese ripped abs.
And you know they don't talk toyou about the diet, they don't
talk to you about the workout.
Man, I can't even get threesets in of abs in under six
minutes.
Barely I probably could.

(06:56):
But around that time is aboutwhat it takes.
It takes about that long justto get your first three sets in
and you just getting started.
The devil the world.
Always, people are alwayslooking for a get rich quick
scheme.
Man say that three times fast.
A get rich quick scheme.
Looking for a way what?
Lower the premium and guesswhat?
Lower the penalty, lower thepenalty.

(07:17):
Lower the premium.
Lower the penalty.
No premium, no penalty.
Think about it.
People love all that.
Zero money down, no commitment.
People love that.
Shows you the generation.
You can look a lot at thecommercials to determine what
the generation wants.
You can look at commercials andsee what it is that the
generation feeds off, becausethat's why they do commercials.
They are there to figure outwhat are the people desiring,

(07:39):
what are they craving, what arethey connoisseurs of?
That's what they're looking for.
Listen to have the blessing inthe season.
It will always cost you andlisten to participate in sin and
leaven in the things of theworld.
It will always cost you.
The penalty does not go down,it goes up.
You pay for sin and you pay forthe blessing.

(07:59):
You can't remove the premiumfor the blessing and you cannot
remove the penalty for sin.
It costs to walk in theblessing of God.
That's the reason why so manypeople their children are
struggling to serve the Lord.
People are struggling to be inchurch.
People are struggling why We'vegot so much of the world that
we're ingesting.
We're ingesting so much of theworld's deities.
You know what I love aboutDaniel?

(08:20):
That's a phenomenal book to bestudying in this day and hour,
because Daniel lived in a timewhere the, the people of Israel,
were in bondage and he wasthere and they had all this food
that they had and they hadidols, but Daniel chose to serve
his God.
He chose not to participate.
Eat with the king, ate with theking.
They ate, and he was saying youknow what I'm going to eat,
what, god?

(08:40):
That's where we get the Danielfast from.
Is that?
I think they?
What did they do it for?
Like 21 days or something alongthat line.
I can't remember the exact time, but it was a short amount of
time Might've been 10 days andthey ate of that, and when they
were finishing eating it atDaniel's, people looked better,
they smelled better, they lookedbetter, they had more energy.
All of that because theyweren't eating at the devil's

(09:06):
table and not have to pay histab.
You're going to have to pay aprice and a penalty, and the
purpose behind the devil feedingyour flesh watch this is that
it gives him access into yourlife.
It gives him access into yourlife, and that is one of the
dangers of this end times thatwe are in, and I want you to
understand how important it isthat we grasp that.
I want you to go with me toMatthew 24.
I've spent a lot of time inthese passages lately because I

(09:26):
really believe they speak to theday and hour that we're living
in, and this is the reason whywe need discipleship.
This is the reason why so manypeople need healings and prayer
lines and constantly looking forprophetic words, but we're not
getting people saved.
We're talking about how burnoutwe are, how much we're
struggling.
My question to you is who haswalked with your life on a
weekly basis that is pouringinto you.
I believe the Lord has shown methat this is the remedy for

(09:48):
many people that are strugglingin their life.
No-transcript.
They would grow and develop andbecome all that God has called
them to be.
So Matthew 24, verse numberthree.
Now, as he sat at the Mount ofOlives, the disciples came to
him privately saying tell uswhen will these things be and
what will be the sign of yourcoming in the end of the age?

(10:10):
And Jesus answered and said tothem, before he goes any further
, he said take heed that no onedeceives you.
Many are going to come in myname, saying I am the Christ and
will deceive many.
And then I want to jump downhere.
In verse number 10.
It says and then many will beoffended, they will betray one
another and hate one another.
Then many false prophets willrise up and deceive many.
And because lawlessness willabound, the love of many will

(10:30):
grow cold.
But he who endures to the end,the same shall be saved.
So look at that.
There False prophets rise upand their message always lowers
the premium for the blessing andremoves the penalty for sin.
Why?
Because lawlessness is in theearth.
If people are living in sin.
My goodness, you're not goingto preach a hard gospel, because
the hard gospel is going tocause them to turn away, but

(10:51):
this is the reality, ladies andgentlemen.
You've got to keep oil in yourlamps, love in your heart, sin
11 in your life.
When you go through Matthewchapter 24, you look at this
discourse that he goes throughand he talks all about the end,
and then you jump ahead toMatthew chapter number 25,.
Matthew chapter 25.
Let's go there real quickly,because this is important that
we grasp this reality.
Matthew chapter number 25.

(11:13):
And it said then the kingdom ofheaven shall be likened to 10
virgins who took their lamps andwent out to meet the bridegroom
.
Five of them were wise and fivewere foolish.
Those who were foolish tooktheir lamps but took no.
Listen, this is very, veryimportant that we grasp this.
If you have a lamp and no oil,it doesn't work and it's a sign
that the lamp is not functionalat the time.

(11:34):
Do you understand that the oilspoken of here is symbolic of
the presence and the power ofthe Holy Spirit in our lives?
Now listen, I want you to catchthis because this is real
important.
He uses these certain wordsintentionally, so we understand.
He said those who were foolishtook their lamps but took no oil
with them.
But the wise took oil in theirvessels with their lamps.

(11:58):
But while the bridegroom wasdelayed, they all slumbered and
slept.
Think about it when you go tosleep, most people like the
lights off.
They turn the lights off sothey slumber and sleep.
They slumber and sleep Insteadof having their illumination on,
having their lamp on.
When you've got oil, you've gotillumination.
When you've got oil, you've gotheat.

(12:19):
You can heat with oil and youcan illuminate with oil.
Okay, verse five.
But while the bridegroom wasdelayed, they all slumbered and
slept.
And verse six.
And at midnight a cry was heardBehold, the bridegroom is coming
, go out to meet him.
Then all those virgins aroseand trimmed their lamps and the
foolish said to the wise give ussome of your oil, for our lamps

(12:39):
are going out.
But the wise answered saying no, lest there should not be
enough for us and you.
But look here, but go rather tothose who sell and buy for
yourself.
There is a cost for the oil,there is a cost for the blessing
.
You cannot mix with the world,you cannot talk like the world.
You can't live with the world.

(13:00):
You've got to be careful of howmuch of the world you ingest.
You have to.
I heard a man say one time hesaid the mindset of every
believer should not be how muchof this world can I have and
still keep a hold of God, buthow much of God can I grasp a
hold of and still keep my feeton this planet.
That should be the cry of everybeliever.
It's not how much I can ingest.

(13:22):
People talk about, like whenthey're dating, how far can we
go before we sin?
And I tell everybody this.
The same thing I'll tell you inyour walk with Jesus Christ you
can have as much of the worlduntil your passion for God
begins to dwindle.
When your passion and desireand your craving for the things
of God, the fruit of the spirit,begins to dwindle, at that
point you know you've ingestedtoo much of the world.

(13:42):
And the same thing when you'redating and people say how far
can I go?
The moment your maritalpassions want more, you've gone
too far.
It's just that simple.
If you are dating somebody, youneed to outline right from the
jump how far you're going to beable to go.
And you say, well, how far?
Well, is it a sin to do this?
It's not.

(14:03):
You have to remember somethingEverything you do sexually at
all, whether it's actual sex orpetting, heavy petting, any of
those things, even certain typesof kissing, any kissing at all,
anything that leaves youcraving, saying I've got to have
more is too far.

(14:23):
Let me just help you why.
You all know how it goes.
If you start with a little bit,you're going to want more, and
then you're going to want more,and then you're going to want
more.
And the reason why many peoplecannot make it to their wedding
night apartment of sex becausewe are not being taught you
can't feed the car carnal natureor, in this case, just the
natural nature.
It's not wrong to have sexualfeelings, it's wrong to have

(14:46):
lust.
But if you are feeding anappetite that you know you can't
fulfill, you're asking fortrouble.
So I tell people all the timefind those areas that you know.
Hey, I can't go this far.
Some people might just beholding hands all the way there.
I can't kiss at all.
It's going to make me want more.
If that's the case, you've gotto do what it takes to keep the

(15:09):
leaven out Anything that's goingto cause you to begin to desire
the things that are contrary toGod's will for your life.
It's too much, and that is asign that we are in the end.
Lawlessness is abounding, sothe love of many gets cold.
Why we start ingesting leaven.
We start ingesting the world.
We start ingesting the thingsof this world instead of the
things of God, and the more thatyou ingest of the world, the

(15:31):
less of an appetite you willhave for the things of the Holy
Spirit in your life.
That's why you have to beaccustomed to fasting.
You have to be accustomed tobeing obedient.
Isn't it funny to talk about thewise and the foolish?
It's very, very important youunderstand that.
Where do we see that?
Again in Matthew.
We saw earlier in Matthew,chapter seven.
We said I will liken unto awise man.

(15:52):
He said that, heard my sayingsand what, and did them.
When the storms came, thefloods came, the winds blew and
it beat upon the house.
The house did not fall, becauseit was built upon the rock.
He heard the sayings and didthem and as a result, he was
likened to a wise man, a foolishperson that slumbers and sleeps
.
Watch this.
Here's what the spirit of theLord is saying, but then does

(16:14):
not do it.
I said so.
I always define a people saywell, what exactly is a fool?
A fool is one that knows betterbut doesn't do better.
They have the answers but theywon't execute what they know is
right.
That is what it's called beinga fool.
That's what we are seeing inthis day and hour and I felt so
strongly of this message and Ifeel such a mandate from God to

(16:37):
prepare the bride for the returnof Jesus Christ.
It is so important that we haveoil in our lamps.
It is so important.
What did he say?
Go and to those that sell andbuy oil.
Wow, my good God.
Now look at this.
Let me mention this to you.
Thank you, holy Ghost.
This is really good.
Right here.
It says go to those who sell.

(16:59):
See, this is the thing.
You got to go to a place wherethey're selling the oil.
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
Where is that?
You got to go to men, men ofGod and women of God that sell
the oil.
Now, I'm not talking aboutfinancially.
He's not talking about moneyhere.
He's using this as a metaphorGo and pay the price to those
that have the oil.
Let them show you the price youneed to pay in order to get

(17:23):
that oil in your labs.
See, you can't just give youroil away to those that are fools
.
You can't give your oil away tothose that won't that, don't
they?
They have the right things, andisn't it funny?
Wow, thank you, holy ghost.
Now, look at this.
This is so important.
Look at this, this is soimportant.
Go back here.
Thank you, holy Ghost.
Go back to verse number nine.

(17:44):
Let's go back to verse eight,actually.
And the fool said to the wiseNow, look at this, this is real
important here.
The fool said to the wise here,because this is the thing.
So you got two conversationshappening right here in the
moment.
The fool says to the wise giveus some of your oil.
Our lamps are going out.
Now, look at it.
The foolish said to the wise.
But then the wise had an answersaying no, lest there should

(18:06):
not be enough for us.
And you, listen, there are somethings in the kingdom of God you
can give away.
There are some things youcannot.
There are some things you candispose of if you don't get it
back, that's fine.
But listen, you can never wasteyour oil.
How do you know when you'rewasting your oil?
Let me show you something youare wasting your oil when people

(18:28):
are not willing to do what youdo but covet what you have.
I'm going to say that again.
You waste your oil when yougive to people that want what
you have but are not willing todo what you do.
You waste your oil I'm gonnasay it again whenever you are

(18:48):
giving to those that covet whatyou have but are not willing to
do what you've done to get theoil.
And it's very important.
That's why I said no, no, no,because there ain't gonna be
enough for me.
And you See, the reality is Ican't pay the price for your oil
.
It doesn't mean we can't sharesome oil in time.
It doesn't mean I can't layhands no, no, no.
But what they did?
They slumbered and sleptinstead of putting in the work.

(19:09):
There are some people you can'trescue and the reality is you
can't invest into them becausewatch this they just want the
oil, because they're in troublenow and they're saying get me
out of this situation.
They don't really want to paythe price for the oil.
Now, watch this, now watch this.
If you don't pay the price forthe oil, you'll have to pay the
price for not having it.

(19:29):
My good God.
If you don't pay the price forthe oil, you'll have to pay the
price for not having it.
If you don't pay the price forthe blessing on your family,
you'll have to pay the price fornot having.
You won't pay somewhere?
It's better to be proactive andpay up front and not have
interest than to have to pay thedevil.
If you slumber and sleep in thetime of putting in the work,

(19:49):
the time will come.
You will need the oil and youwill not have it in the time
allotted.
It takes time to work the oil,ladies and gentlemen.
It takes fasting, it takesprayer, it takes living separate
from the world, it takes beingin church, it takes putting God
first in your life, it takesseeking his face and it takes
discipleship.
That's the reason whydiscipleship is so important in

(20:10):
the end times and why so manypeople are falling away.
We have lowered the premium forthe oil.
We have lowered the premium forthe blessing.
We have lowered the premium forthe anointing.
We have lowered the premium.
You don't have to go to church.
You can cuss, you can listen toany type of music you want,
watch any movie you want.
You can do anything you want todo.
He gets us, he understands us,it's all good, it's under this

(20:31):
umbrella of love and because Godloves us, he's not going to
charge you anything.
And guess what, even if you'reliving in sin, he totally
understands.
He's not through with you.
I prayed the prayer of 20 yearsago but I haven't made any
forward progress.
But everything's gonna be okay.
Ladies and gentlemen, let mehelp you Pay the price for the
oil.
There should be oil in yourlaps, which means you are
illuminated.

(20:51):
There should be oil in yourlaps, which means you're hearing
from the spirit of the Lord.
There should be oil in yourlaps which lance, which means
you're putting in the work.
There should be oil in thelance that when you lift up your
hands to pray and to seek hisface and his shout, there's
something from your belly that'sthere.
There should be oil in yourlance that you can look out
there and begin to see what'sgoing on in the world and be
able to accurately discern whatis happening in the earth.
There should be oil in yourlance.

(21:12):
What does that mean?
You're paying the price to havethe Holy Spirit's present in
your life, in your home, in yourcar, on your job, wherever you
go.
You've paid the price for theoil to be there and therefore
there will be illumination,there will be love in your heart
.
Ladies and gentlemen, this ispaying the price for the oil.
But listen, you can't give youroil to everybody.
Did you hear what I said?

(21:34):
You cannot give your oil toeverybody.
If they're not willing to paythe price, you have to stop
giving them the oil.
There's some people you can'tspend time with because you
can't make an investment intobuckets that have holes in it,
and I always say it like this Ihave no problem giving somebody
fish, but this is the reality.

(21:55):
While I'm feeding you but thisis the reality While I'm feeding
you I must be leading you.
Y'all hear what I'm saying.
If you want me to feed you andnot lead you, that means you
want the blessing without thepremium.
That doesn't mean that sometimesyou don't help people free of
charge.
I get all of that, I understand, but some people have made it
their appetite and their diet tosimply live off of your work.

(22:17):
That cannot happen.
You can't live off of your work.
That cannot happen.
You can't live off ofsomebody's oil.
Yeah, there may be a time.
Maybe you got a little low andyou needed somebody to help.
But maybe once you get yourselfback up and running, go back
out there and put in the work,pay the price for the oil, go to
those that sell and buy foryourself.
Don't be one of those in theselast days and in these end times

(22:38):
that doesn't go through and paythe price for the oil.
You gotta fast.
You gotta get up early, seekthe Lord.
Learn how to develop adiscipline to seek God that you
respect and that you recognize,and that you value the time and
see the reward of seeking Godearly and watch him carry you
throughout your day.

(22:59):
You don't need more sleep.
You need the Holy Ghost.
Yes, you need a good night'srest, but sometimes you may not
need eight, nine hours.
Maybe you're making six and ahalf and then you give that
first hour to the Lord.
You spend that time with him,you seek his face, you fill up
with that oil, you shake theflesh off and listen.
The oil will take you furtherthan your sleep could ever.

(23:20):
Isn't it funny that the peoplethat have the oil didn't slumber
and sleep?
How a lot of people sleep it inwhen they should be getting up
and praying.
I say all the time man don't bedoing one of them Starbucks
prayers.
And what do I call a Starbucksprayer?
You on your way to Starbucks,you praying while you ordering
your chai latte and everythingelse that you're getting?
No, no, get up early before youshower, if you have to, even

(23:40):
before you brush your teeth.
Anything else you got to do.
First thing you do is you seekthe face of God, shut your phone
off, shut your Facebook off,and stay there and get alone
until you're no longer alone andlearn how to welcome his
presence and learn how to staythere until his presence lifts,
learn to recognize how much timeyou need to spend with the Lord
in prayer.
So then your tank is full, andwhen your tank is full, then you

(24:04):
can go throughout your day.
Give us this day our dailybread.
Come on, somebody.
You've got to pay the price forthe oil.
The great falling away ishappening, and this is the
reason why discipleship is soimportant, because people have
not been taught the price of howto have the oil in their life.
They've not been taught theprice.
What we do, ladies andgentlemen, we do crisis

(24:26):
discipleship, which means whenI'm going through, I call the
pastor, when I'm going through,I call the elder.
Every single believer on theplanet should be discipled, and
let me help you real quickly.
Discipleship is not a classit's part of it.
But discipleship is you walkingthrough in your life and finding

(24:47):
out what the spirit of the Lordis saying to you.
That's why how dare we come tochurch and not take notes?
How dare we listen to preachersand not take notes?
How dare we get a propheticword and not jot it down?
How do we not record and thengo home and listen to iters and
not take notes?
How dare we get a propheticword and not jot it down?
How do we not record and thengo home and listen to it and
write it up and make sure wepray over it?
If God is speaking, we need towrite it down, we need to
steward it, we need to meditateupon it, we need to seek his

(25:09):
faith, we need to write downwhat he's saying.
Why Listen to me?
Sunday mornings, wednesdaynights, even to some degree in
small groups.
That's all good and dandy.
You can be taught by somebody,you can have interaction, but
there's nothing like somebodyone-on-one, walking with you,
pouring directly into your life,spending time with you.
And what we've done we've madediscipleship the work of mass

(25:31):
ministry.
All the people come together,everybody comes together in the
house of God.
Somebody preached.
Be in the house.
What Sunday mornings, wednesdayand Bible teaching does?
It gives you an opportunity tounderstand the word, to see the
word and to hear what God issaying in the prophetic now.
So then you know in thediscipleship process what he's
saying and doing, so you canbegin to walk it out.

(25:55):
Hallelujah.
Where discipleship comes in,there's somebody that knows you,
understands you, sees thegreatness of God in your life,
and they begin to pour into you.
So then, whatever God is doingin you, they have the wisdom,
the knowledge, the understanding, the impartation needed and
ordered.
So then you can flesh out whatGod is working out in your life.

(26:15):
This, ladies and gentlemen, isthe product of discipleship.
You've got to go and pay theprice for your own oil and we
can't make discipleship a class.
I'm all for classes, ain'tnothing wrong with that.
But what happens when you getout there in the real world?
And you get out there and yougot all the knowledge and the
training and everything else,and then also, when you try to
work that thing out, there'sthings in your heart and your

(26:37):
mind that it just doesn't makeany sense.
You don't figure out how you'regoing to work it out, and
that's where people stall out intheir life, and this is where
the falling away happens.
This is the reason why there'sso much deception.
This is the dangers of the edtimes and why they will heap
together teachers having itchingears telling them what they
want to hear, why Somebody tellme something that I don't have
to deal with.
This flesh you can deal withthe flesh you just got to
crucify.
We got to get back to becomingdiscipled or disciplined ones,

(27:01):
those that know how to meditateon the scripture and walk out
what God has given them.
It is so important that weunderstand.
We are in the last days, ladiesand gentlemen, and there's a
great falling away that happens.
Go with me, if you would, to 2Thessalonians, chapter 2, and
I'm almost out of here.
2 Thessalonians, chapter two,and I'm almost out of here.
Second Thessalonians, chaptertwo.
I want to look here at versenumber one.
Now, brethren, concerning thecoming of our Lord, jesus Christ

(27:24):
, and our gathering together tohim, we ask you not to be soon
shaken in mind or troubled,either by spirit or by word or
by letter, as if from us, asthough the day of Christ had
come.
Verse three this is where Iwant to get.
Look at this.
Let no one deceive you lest byany means that day will not come
unless the falling away comesfirst and the man of sin is
revealed, the son of perdition,who opposes and exalts himself

(27:45):
above all that is called God orthat is worshiped, so that he
sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God
.
That's the day and hour thatwe're in.
We are moving.
That's why there's so muchdesecration in the house of God.
The devil has to get peopleused to seeing the house of God
desecrated.
So when the devil himself sitsin the seat of God, calls

(28:07):
himself God in the house of God,people won't even know the
difference because they have sobeen deceived.
This is why you have to keep oilin your lamps.
This is the reason why you'vegot to keep yourself illuminated
.
Keep the Holy Spirit, becausehe knows the hearts of every
person.
You got to keep that oil inyour life so you can recognize
what's happening in the earthand that falling away that is
happening is preparing heartsfor the Antichrist.

(28:30):
But while the falling away ishappening.
There's also a drawing nearthat is happening to the
presence of God.
There are preachers out therethat are sharing the word and
showing you how to buy the oil,and if you can buy the oil, you
can be blessed in your life.
Don't let anybody tell you notto buy the oil.
You got to have the oil in yourlife, ladies and gentlemen.

(28:52):
You got to keep oil in yourlamps, love in your heart, sin
and leaven out of your life.
Can I get a witness?
Somebody?
Can somebody say I'm keepingthe sin and the leaven out and
I'm keeping the oil in.
Come on, and that's exactlywhat God wants to do in and
through your life.
So, listen, I want to take aminute and I want to pray for
you today because I want you tobe rooted and grounded.

(29:15):
Listen, you need to bediscipled in your life.
You have somebody walking withyou, pouring into you, investing
into you.
Yes, you need to be in Biblestudy.
Yes, you need to take theclasses.
Yes, you need to be in church,but you need someone that's
walking with you, and the Biblesays where two of you are
gathered there, he would be inthe midst.
So Jesus Christ shows himselfstrong in the mix of all the
things.
When two people come together,he'll be in the midst and he

(29:39):
will mix everything up and bringhis anointing.
Bring his 8,000 with your 1,000, the other person 1,000, which
makes 10,000.
And you'll see an anointing ofmultiplication and increase that
will come upon your life.
Get discipled in this season.
Get rooted and grounded.
Become the man or woman thatGod's called you to be.
Start looking how to fulfillyour call and destiny.
Stop looking for prayer linesand start developing till you
become one.
Stop looking for a propheticword until you know how to go up

(30:00):
into the mountain of God andget one and then therefore
become a prophetic prayer linefor somebody else.
Come on somebody.
Stop looking for a handout andstart handing out.
Get to a point where you canhand out to others.
God wants you to have theabundant life.
He came that we might have lifeand have it abundant, which
means to with joy and to thefull and overflowing.

(30:20):
Come on somebody.
But we've got to grow up in thethings of God.
And what this prosperity message.
What I don't like about it, theonly thing I don't like about
it, is this you can have all theprosperity but not pay the
premium, I don't have a problemwith prosperity as long as the
premium's tied to it, but whenthat premium's removed, then I
have a problem.
So, father, in the name ofJesus, I pray for every person

(30:41):
listening right now that, Lord,they would keep oil in their
lamps, love in heart and sin andleaven out of their lives.
Lord, I pray right now that youwould bless them, anoint them
and fill them in the name ofJesus, surround them with your
presence and with your goodness,surround them with your glory
and with your anointing Father,help them to be rooted and
grounded in this season, to notbe deceived, father, to lower
the premium and to lower thepenalty for sin, to lower the

(31:03):
premium for the blessing, but,lord, to realize they've got to
pay for the oil.
And, lord, let us all be apeople that have oil in their
lamps, love in our hearts andsin and leaven out of our lives.
And, lord, let us not allow thesin or the leaven to begin to
fill up in our lives to whereour oil begins to drop.
We're in the reserve level,even to the empty level, and
we're burnt out and tired.

(31:23):
No illumination and deceptioncan begin to creep in.
But, father, I thank you forkeeping your people, baptizing
us all afresh in the Holy Ghostand with power, filling us
afresh, o God, and allowing ouroil to be full that we might be
illuminated and warm in thisdark and in this cold place that
we call the world system.
Lord, there can be blessings inour lives in every area,

(31:47):
because of how we live, for you,help us to realize and I pray
for every person that'slistening and watching that,
lord, they would know how topossess their own soul, they
would know their own spiritualwalk and how they need to live
in it.
Bless them, anoint them andfill them, and, father, we'll
give you the praise, the honorand all the glory.
In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen, amen, amen.

(32:08):
Now listen before you go.
