Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to the Long for Truth podcast. I'm Robin Long.
Join my husband Dan and I as we explore the
roots of the early Pentecostal and Charismatic movements and we
shine a light on false doctrines and false teachers in
the modern church. Let's get started.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It is the end Time Revival, not just any revival,
but the end time revival.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Is this?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
It is this the great end Time Revival.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
This is the sign of God's power.
Speaker 6 (00:31):
And we're going to pray right now for the power
of God to come upon the earth of the world
to pray for the end time revival.
Speaker 7 (00:38):
Tull right up up.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I felt like the Lord said, listen, jo, I'm unlocking
the wells. I'm unlocking the wells. Father, release it in
the name of Jesus.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
Out of your billy.
Speaker 8 (00:58):
Now that great harvest us. I'm going to interject something.
Is this the final harvest? And you know what, I'm
not convinced it is necessary. There is a difference between
the great harvest that we have ever seen and is
it necessarily the final harvest?
Speaker 9 (01:14):
Huh?
Speaker 8 (01:15):
And I'm gonna leave you hanging on that one.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Okay, Hello, everyone, Welcome along for Truth. My name is
Daniel Long, and sitting next to me is my lovely
wife Robin.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Hi.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Everyone, So I'm sure if you have been in the
Charismatic movement or you know people in the Charismatic movement,
you've heard of this great in Time revival, this billion
soul harvest that's supposed to take place. It's really talked
about a lot within the New Apostolic Reformation, but it's
it's it's outside of that as well. So we're gonna
(01:46):
be talking about that today and we're going to be
asking the question, is there going to be a great
in Time revival or does the Bible say there's going
to be something else? So we're gonna cover that today.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Right and before we get started, we wanted to talk
a little bit about I think it was a few
weeks ago we asked you to email us with ideas
for videos on people or topics, if you had a
clip you wanted to share with us. We got a
lot of responses, so thank you very much for that,
and we are working on putting together some videos for
(02:21):
you right now based on the information you've sent us.
If you have anything, just keep emailing them to us.
Long for Truth one at gmail dot com. And we
would love to do videos on it. Let us know
if we should not use your name, we'll probably just
use your first name in the video as a thank
you for sending us some information. And if you don't
(02:45):
want us to do that, just let us know.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Yep, there you go. All right, So let's talk about
this idea of a great end time revival. Now, when
we look back in history, we can see this thing
going all the way back even in towards the Latter
Rain Movement in the nineteen forties and nineteen fifties, where
they talked about the manifest Sons of God, doctor and
this great group of super Christians that were going to
(03:10):
come and perform signs and wonders and have this great,
big revival.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
And even before that, Danny, we took it as far
back as Smith Wigglesworth, right, who talked about revival that
was going to happen. And we're going to show you
a clip of Lester Sumraw who when he was younger,
probably in his twenties, he was in Great Britain and
he would visit Smith Wigglesworth for dinner, like every couple
(03:37):
of weeks they would go and he would he developed
this relationship with Smith Wigglesworth. Well, this was right before
I think World War two. So when World War two began,
the officials in Great Britain told Lester Somemrall that he
had to return to the United States. So he went
to say goodbye to Smith Wigglesworth. And what you're about
(04:01):
to hear is what Smith Wigglesworth told him during their
final meeting.
Speaker 10 (04:05):
And I felt the holy annoying of the Most High
God as it flowed from him into me. Now I
have been blessed by a number of great men, and
I'm so thankful for it. To go around the world
when I was so young, and to meet the great
men of the whole world and a hundred nations of
(04:27):
the world, you know, was a real honor, and so
I appreciated it so much. And as he broke the embrace,
he said, you will be blessed, and faith will reside
within you, and you will do unusual things. I presume
it was the kind of a prophecy. And then he said,
(04:47):
I wish to tell you something, and I said, yes,
always says I see it. His eyes were burning like
Elijah's eyes when he saw the chariot of the most high.
His face, his face was so strong, as he was
looking at me and saying, I see it. And I said,
(05:10):
what do you see? He said, I see revival coming
to planet Earth. He says, I see revival coming to
planet Earth, maybe as never never before, as never before,
I see revival coming.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
He says.
Speaker 10 (05:29):
It will be untold numbers and untold uncounted multitudes that
will be saved. That no man will say so many,
so many, because nobody will be able to count those
that will come to Jesus. And I just stood there
and he was prophesying and seeing a vision, because he said,
(05:49):
I see it.
Speaker 9 (05:50):
I see it.
Speaker 10 (05:51):
He said, the dead will be raised, He said, the
arthritic will be healed. He said cancer will be healed.
And he began to tell me of the mighty things,
that no disease would be able to stand before God's people,
and that it would be a world wide situation, not local,
(06:14):
but it would be a world wide thrust of God's
power and thrust of God's anointing upon mankind. And I
was listening so intently to it. Then he opened his
eyes and looked at me, and he said, I will
not see it, but you shall see it.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
And he didn't see any such thing, So right there
is if he's being honest there, and he really had
a prophecy given to him by Smith Wigglesworth. Well, that
was a failed prophecy. It was a false prophecy.
Speaker 11 (06:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
He passed in nineteen ninety six. And we have someone
else who claimed that they were viewing the last generation
of youth, that there would be a great revival, and
that did not come to fruition in her time either,
and that's Catherine Coleman.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
I believe that this is.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
The very last youth generation before the great priblation.
Speaker 12 (07:18):
I believe that. I've got to believe it.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Knowing the word of prophecies I do. This is the
last youth generation.
Speaker 12 (07:32):
Before the great tribulation.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Sitting here in this assembly this Monday morning, face it, face.
Speaker 12 (07:42):
Facts, face God, face reality, face truth, you young people
sitting here, or the last youth generation in this dispensation.
Speaker 9 (08:00):
I'd be believe.
Speaker 12 (08:01):
It, and I'd stake my very life.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
When I'm talking to you, what we're saying to you
is a vitally importance and you've got to do something
about it.
Speaker 13 (08:14):
You got to do something about it.
Speaker 9 (08:17):
I be believe.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
In this last hour all the fruits, all the gifts
of the spirit to be restored to the church. There
were miracle services with every person present. It doesn't say
how many were present in the service, but all were
healed for the power of God. As that precious Catholic
(08:42):
sister was being filled with the Holy Spirit, and I
stood there only a couple of feet from her. I
was unaware of those out in the crowd, absolutely unaware.
I received a spiritual revelation.
Speaker 14 (08:59):
Sometimes I went whether that.
Speaker 15 (09:00):
Was just for me.
Speaker 12 (09:03):
On the day of Pentecosts, they were all ill.
Speaker 10 (09:10):
With the Holy Ghost.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
The ot is that my bread.
Speaker 12 (09:19):
Boy?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
She is one creepy woman. I'm gonna tell you that
right now.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
She really has quite a stage presence.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Yeah she does. And she was talking to a group
of youth there at o RU back in nineteen seventy two.
And again they weren't the last youth generation. So, I mean,
this kind of thing is happened, happens all the time,
and that's why we do not believe that the Bible
(09:46):
talks about a great end time revival. But the Bible
talks about a great apostasy. And that's what I think
we are seeing right now.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, in a little while. We're gonna go through a
bunch of Bible verses on how they have developed this
idea that there's going to be a last Great Revival
and what the Bible actually says. And it seems, going
through our research that most of their ideas about the
last Great Revival come through these profits in the twentieth century.
(10:17):
One of the best examples of that, of course, is
Bob Jones, and we're going to share his prophecy with you.
Speaker 15 (10:25):
So I was thinking, Man, I fuckered up.
Speaker 9 (10:28):
This is it?
Speaker 15 (10:29):
No more pain, no more this trial, no more than nothing.
I'm going home and I'm going home in obedience. And
he put his hand out in front of it, and
he said, stop. The enemy killed you before your time,
and I want you to go back. And I said,
I'm not doing any good. Nobody's listening to me. He said,
(10:49):
you're a liar, for you spoke what I told you to.
If you had spoke on your own, you wouldn't be
But you spoke what I told you to. And what
I say will happen. My words will not return to
me void, but they will take place. And I said,
but it's so painful down there. Uh. The rejection the persecution.
(11:15):
And he said, yeah, you've sort of got a cowardly
streak in you, but I'll work that out. And he said,
when you were a Baptist, you had a love for souls,
and if you still want to come in, I'll take
(11:36):
you in. After you look again at that line. I
look again at all those people who's going to hell,
and they wasn't going to hell for no one hundred
thousand years. They's going to hell for all eternity, and
they'll serve their God in hell for all eternity. And
I looked back at him and said, I'd go back
for one soul. I'd actually go back to the cross
(11:57):
for one soul. He said, I'm I'm not sending you
back for one soul. I'm sending you back to touch
a few of the leaders of the church to where
they take it oversea and protect and get behind. What
I'm going to do, I'm going to bring one billion
youth to myself and one of the greatest awakenings of
all time. I'm going to glorify myself beyond anything that's
(12:20):
ever happened, and ever token and everything that's ever been
done in scripture. I'm going to repeat it thousands and
thousands of times, and I want you to go back
and prepare and tell them that this is what I
will do in one great way. So throughout the years
I've stayed alive because I'm going to see it. I
(12:42):
was told I would see the first of it. I
will see it. I was also told that I would
see the glory. I've saw it recently. The glory is
here to stay. It'll never leave again. And that glory
is a preparation for a harvest beyond imagination. One billion youth.
(13:03):
Over half the population of the world is under eighteen
one billion it watched. I'm not saying that'll be all,
because it'll be those already saved, but one great harvest,
one great increase of over a billion. I believe that
it'll probably begin around the year of two twenty.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Okay, so forgive me. I forgot to tell you that
Bob Jones in that clip had literally he claimed he
was killed by a demon who didn't like him or
didn't want him around, and that was his experience when
he went to heaven. And if you've ever seen that clip,
he has a huge story to tell about a numerous
(13:45):
things that happened when he went there. But that was
the beginning of it. And before we get into that clip,
I got to tell you, I think I mentioned this
last time we watched a Bob Jones clip. He is
a lipsmacker and it's one of those things that drives me.
And We're watching that clip and Danny is laughing as
I'm getting more and more tense from that that he's
(14:08):
a difficult man to listen to on a number of Levels's.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Now, think about this for a moment, though, Robin. We
all know the situation with what happened to I HOP
International House of Prayer and Mike Bickel. Before that, it
was Bob Jones who in the Kansas City prophets and
every just about every single one of them had immoral issues.
(14:35):
But think about this for a moment. For years before
Mike Bickle's fall, the entire doctrinal foundation, pretty much of
I HOP was built upon the prophecies of Bob Jones
that in and of itself, should just let that sink in.
Speaker 16 (15:00):
I mean serious, exactly let that sink in.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Not on the word of God, literally.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
No, exactly now and in their big in their big
go to book which I just finished reading, uh, you
know my morning readings the Song of Solomon and I
you know, look, it's the word of God, right and
the Word of God is the Word of God. But
we're allowed to have favorite books and in books that
(15:25):
we like. I just would not be I just would
never pick Song of Solomon as my favorite book. But
that was their whole go to book of the Bible.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
It took an inordinate focus on that particular book. Yes,
what Mike Bickle did.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Yeah, you're not saying they didn't use other play places
of scripture, passages of scripture, but that was their their
their big one they used talk about all the time. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Right, So a couple of things. Number One, Bob Jones
would be the first person that mentioned the billion soul harvests.
So when you hear that, that's where that all started, correct.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Yes, And so it's very similar to the latter range
manifest Sons of God, which which talked about, like I
said in the beginning, this this super group of Christians
that are going to be performing signs and wonders, are
going to be doing all these major things to bring
in this revival that's going to bring Christ back.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Right, And Bob Jones has a huge prophecy about that
where we're literally on a conveyor not we the manifest
sons of God's are literally on a conveyor belt, and
they look like I remember yellow jelly beans.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Yellow jelly being that I remember that. You check our
Bob Jones video out. We did an entire.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Video it's creating them. Yeah, very strange. Thought it was
interesting that God really told Bob Jones, well, you can
come in if you want to. So he left that
whole thing up to Bob Jones whether he wanted to
go into heaven or come back to Earth.
Speaker 16 (16:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
So we had Lester Summraw who did not see this
great in Time revival. We had Catherine Cooleman who did
not see the last Youth generation but prophesied that it
was going that Theriu group and that generation in that
group was the last one. And we had Bob Jones
here saying that he's going to see it although and
(17:22):
he says it's going to happen in twenty twenty and
he died in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Another thing is the billion souls. So we did the math.
Right now, there are about eight billion people on Earth,
and according to some studies, it says like two billion, No,
four billion of those people are under the age of
twenty five, so one quarter would be one billion people.
(17:52):
So one quarter of all of the youth that are
now on earth would have to come to the Lord
for that particular prophecy to come true.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Yeah, just it's it's not gonna happen, folks. I mean, here,
here's what here's the way I see it. Yeah, there's
this massive stuff going on. And you you've got Lew Engles,
big stadiums you know that have been filled. You've got
the Todd White standing up there, Shawn Bulls, You've got
all these you know, these events taking place. You've got
(18:28):
the the these other youth things happening a lot of colleges.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, now that they talk about, you've seen them over
the past year or two where these there are these
massive revivals on Christian campuses and secular campuses.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Yeah. But the thing is is that when you have
guys like lou Engele, Sean Bowles, Todd White and all
the other naar folks up there that are teaching false doctrine,
like you know, the Prosperity Gospel Word of faith, Christians
can be demon possessed all this false doctrine and even heresy.
(19:07):
Maybe they do have a lot of followers and a
lot of people coming to these youth rallies, and if
they want to call that revivals, they can, But it's
not the great it's not a great end time revival.
It's more like apostasy. We're watching apostacy take place before
our very eyes, exactly.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
And Danny, I think of even when Jesus drew huge crowds,
how many of those people turned away from him exactly,
like you think of the lepers, you know, exactly ten
were cleansed and one came back and with all of
his disciples, not his very specific disciples, but the crowds
of disciples that turned away from him at some point
(19:47):
in his ministry. So, because just because people are attending
these revivals or even making some confession of faith, does
not mean their true followers, Lord Willing, it would be
wonderful if they were, yep.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
But like I said, when you have leaders that are
teaching heresy and false doctrine and they're the ones that
are sparking these revivals, to me, it looks like a
revival of apostasy rather than a great end time revival, right, so,
and I should say a gathering of apostasy, because revival
(20:25):
of apostacy wouldn't make any sense, but large gathering of
apostasy going on.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
So the strange, the great and strange. James Gall was
a follower, was very closely associated with Bob Jones, and
he in this clip is speaking about the great end times.
And if you listen to this clip, you're often Nowheresville
(20:51):
by the time it's halfway through, Like I'm like, I
don't even know what you're saying, James Gall, but it
is kind of entertaining. We're going to show you what
he has to say about the Great Harvest.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
And I saw this is going to stretch people drunks
going into horse traps, and the lightning of God would
strike them and they would come up out of this
and they would be converted and they would go what
just happened? And they would wow, I've got the whoa,
I got the fire of God actually coming on my
(21:21):
hands right now, right now, right now, I prophesy the
God of the Suddenly's is coming and it is the
time of the Great Harvest. And we have crossed over
the threshold of saying on one side of the Jordan River.
It's coming, It's coming, It's coming, and we have crossed
over into a divine inheritance. It's not only like Peggy
(21:43):
and Christina Smith in the Hebrides Island Revival saying it's coming,
it's coming, it's coming to you. Go we need to
go get a preacher because he's all rush mercy. I mean,
I feel the manifest prey over me, and this fire
in a manifest way is all over this gun finger
(22:06):
of mine. It's the prophetic and it's all over this
outreach finger. And I speak prophetic evangelism and mercy. Jesus, Jesus,
I speak an impartation of prophetic evangelism, the God of
the suddenlyes and I speak baptisms of water, baptisms of
the Holy Spirit, baptisms of fire that result in baptisms
(22:30):
of deliverance for such a time as this a man.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
So I would love to see him do a conference
with Tim Sheets, the Angel Whisper, because I think they're
both on prophecy. Bernie.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
There is.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
There is something in something he's eating that puts you
on a different level. And everyone in that congregation would
have to eat a prophecy breath. So they could understand
what is going on when they're speaking.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Oh my goodness, talking about.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Fire and enlightening God. Any dreams in threes, like he
has three separate dreams a night that all have to
do with things. And he's explaining that. But by his books,
that's what it boils down to.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Buy his books now, he Yeah, So, I guess feelings
make things true, right. I just feel the presence of God.
He's all over me. Oh, you know, I'm the you know,
the mercy of Jesus. I just feel, folks, feelings, they
come and they go. There are plenty of people out
there who feel that they're saved or feel that they're Christians,
(23:35):
and they're not because of the way that you know,
they care less about their sin and you know.
Speaker 16 (23:41):
They just go on and live in their life.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
But hey, I feel the presence of God when I'm
at church and I'm just feeling the Holy Spirit and
He's Folks.
Speaker 16 (23:49):
Feelings mean nothing. There are plenty of people out there
who are who doubt their salvation and they are real,
honest to goodness children of God. And that's the thing.
Are we cannot rely on our feelings.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
You cannot, And God gave us emotions and they're beautiful.
I think of having the joy of the Lord, or
being overcome by the awe the and the awful aspects
of God and the amazing. I mean, of course we
have emotions, but to base our salvation, and my fingers
(24:23):
are tingling therefore and getting something, yes, exactly.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
So it's yeah, it's like the same thing. It kind
of reminds me of how you know these church services
that have this, you know, the the music, and the
music is supposed to stir these emotions up, and the
music then becomes a way to usher in the Holy Spirit.
This is just not this. This is not how it works, folks,
(24:49):
not how it works.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Okay, let's move a moving along. James Mike Bickle, of course,
great student of Bob Jones. Right, he speaks about the
billion soul harvest.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
My favorite topic is the beauty of Jesus as bridegroom,
king and judge, the beauty of Jesus bringing the body
of Christ, the first commandment to love God with all
of our heart, and the great in time revival on
the billion sole harvest. That is the ultimate thing that's
going on. The Lord is preparing his transforming his church
(25:26):
to be a prepared bride. He's coming back Revelation nineteen
seven for a prepared bride, a mature church. So the
beauty of Jesus is a bridegroom, king of judge. He's
a king with power, he's a bridegroom with desire for relationship,
and he's a judge with great zeal to remove everything
(25:47):
that hinders love.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
But all three of.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Those manifest his beauty with no contradiction whatsoever. And that's
the context. He's going to bring forth the great in
time harvest and the transformation of the in time church
from a church with a layot of sea and spirit
of dullness to a prepared bride, deeply rooted in love.
Speaker 16 (26:07):
And the Sermon on the Mount.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
And all these subjects, that's what I love.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
And of course I don't even have to say anything
here about Mike Picckle. We all know that all of
this kind of fell flat on his face.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Right, Danny, He did mention the bride of Christ. And
you wanted to read a verse.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yeah, we're gonna look at Revelation nineteen because that's the
verse he mentioned. He said, a prepared bride. So he
pulls this idea of a prepared bride right out of
the context of Revelation nineteen and we're going to see
that as we again. And this is true. I mean,
this really is true. When you're listening to a teacher
(26:48):
and they quote a verse, open up your Bible, look
at the verses before, you know, three, four, five, maybe
to the top of the chapter, and go down and
after and find out if they are taking that verse
out of context. Honestly, reading scripture within its context really
(27:08):
solves I'm gonna say, at least seventy to eighty percent
of all questions. Yeah, you'll answer all your questions within
seventy to eighty percent of the time.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
It really does clear up a lot.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
So let's let's look at that past.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Okay, Revelation nineteen six through eight. Then I heard what
seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like
the roar of many waters, and like the sound of
mighty peals of thunder, crying out, hallelujah for the Lord,
our God, the almighty rains. Let us rejoice and exalt
and give him glory. For the marriage of the Lamb
has come, and his bride has made herself ready. It
(27:43):
was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright
and pure, for the fine linen is the righteous deeds
of the saints.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Okay, this does not mean that the bride has to
prepare herself before Christ comes. This has nothing to do
about some kind of uh, you know, passage about the
church preparing herself for Christ so that Christ can return it.
This is not what it's talking about. This is all
you know that this is. You read read it in
(28:13):
its context and you can see that, right.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Or Danny, would you say, preparing herself not the way
they're saying through ushering in these great revivals, but preparing
herself through doing the good deeds and obeying what God's
word is telling her to do.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
We look at the Book of Acts. I don't know
about you, but it's my favorite book of the Bible.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
Sir.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
I love the Gospels, but but I'm not Jesus. I'm
more like Peter John, you know, you know, make mistakes
and yet still God uses me. That's where I live
in the Book of Acts. And when I discovered in
scripture this prophecy about an end time awakening that will
overshadow the Book of Acts, I got so excited. So
(28:57):
everything that you see in the Book of Acts. Imagine
that on steroids. That's what the inn Time Church is
going to look like.
Speaker 13 (29:04):
And a lot of times when we look at the
church today we question that because in many sectors of
the body and in the world, we're not seeing even
yet what is in the Book of ax Let alone.
Beyond that, although in many places we are seeing the
flow of the spirit. God's doing amazing things.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
But this is China right now. Every single miracle that
you see in the Book of Acts is happening every
day over there. The dead are being raised, the sick
are being healed. Thousands will the church there is one
hundred and sixty million, so every day tens of thousands
are coming into the Kingdom. So they're already experiencing this
in Time's.
Speaker 13 (29:40):
Revival, right and it's still going to get bigger though,
it's still going to get greater.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
It's going to get bigger, and it's going to spread
throughout the world. We were in and there's a key
that we're going to get to in a minute that
is unlocking this outbooring. But we were recently in Nepal
and we found out that over the past ten years
that the church there has gone from under one percent
to over ten percent. That's two point five million people,
(30:05):
to the point that the government has now made it
illegal to share the gospel. So you know, and you
look at India, South America. I've been to Africa, so
many mirrors Iraq Iran.
Speaker 13 (30:16):
It's just amazing. Even in some of the most difficult,
challenging places, God is moving right in power. It's awesome.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
So before I know you're ready say something, but let
me just let me just say this really quickly. This
is what's called restorationism, a return, a desire to return
to the Book of Acts and see Christianity do everything
that you know Christian supposedly did in the Book of Acts.
And this has been going on for a long time.
(30:48):
This you can trace us back like to ab Simpson,
back in the late eighteen hundreds of the late nineteenth century.
You know, these early guys like Parham and ab Simpson
and Awi. It was all that was the whole purpose
of Zion. Let's restore the church the way to the
way it used to be in the Book of Acts.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Right.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
He mentions that I have a key that I'm going
to share later, and later on in that video he
brings up the fact that revival will happen when the
nation of Israel starts to turn more towards God. So
if if you have any group of Jews that become
Christians or something like that, that will bring about revival.
(31:30):
So that's what they're trying to do. Interesting fun fact
I did not know is that the dead are being
raised in China.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
Yeah. Yeah, you see that everywhere, don't you. I mean
there's all kinds of videos and stuff about, you know,
people raising the dead and they're not fake at all.
They don't they don't look fake at all. But you know, yeah,
because people have cell phones and the recording it everywhere. Anyway,
who knew?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
We do have some more of the same from who
are these two.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Jean Bailey and Joseph Dowell and there gene Bailey is
all I think he if I remember correctly, and you
guys can correct me if I'm wrong. I should have
looked at this before we started recording. But I think
Gene Bailey is connected to Kenneth Copeland and Kenneth Copeland ministries,
and so because they do promote Copeland. I know that.
But anyway, here's Jen Bailey and Joseph Dow talking about
(32:25):
the Smith Wigglesworth's prophecy. I guess on revival.
Speaker 11 (32:30):
You and I were talking before we went on the
air with this program about revival in this day and age.
We we've talked about on this program as well as
in church service, about the the the prophecy of Smith
Wigglesworth gave to Leicester summer all about this last great
revival in the Great Awakening. How does that fit with
(32:55):
where you've been and what you see? What do you
see the same thing?
Speaker 16 (32:59):
I see?
Speaker 9 (32:59):
It getting to break loose all over America and Canada
and the other nations. This is God's end time revival.
It's happening. You may be sitting in some dead dry church,
or pardon me, doctor Frost as the pastor. You may
be haven't seen a miracle or felt the power of God.
(33:23):
If they don't believe in miracles, if they don't believe
in the baptism of Holy Gos, grab your kids and run.
Revival is coming. It's getting out of the walls of
the church. I got a video of a lady in
a Walmart store, eighty years old, turns down an islean.
There's a man sitting in a wheelchair. She said, young man,
would you like for Jesus to he you today? He
(33:47):
batted his eyes and he said, well, I guess. So
she opened her purse and got out a bottle of ale,
and on it he would start praying. People started gathering around.
The cameras in the Walmart store started videotaping the prayer
of faith. That's the difference. Not just any old prayer.
The prayer of faith shall save the sick. And the
Lord Shuriason and he gets up out of his wheelchair
(34:09):
and walks clear around the store. It's happening in walmarts.
It's happening on the streets. It's happening in the highways
and the hedges. It's happening people driving down the road
and God is turning them into a church or to
a revival. They're running in somewhere and saying, would you
pray for me? I need Jesus.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (34:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
People are doing miracles all over the place in walmarts,
especially Robin and I set all the time, and the
cameras record it. And up here in our in our
little walmart, up here in our little town, it's everywhere.
They're just miracles going on all over the place.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Next time you go to Walmart and have your camera ready.
I'm going to see what's going on.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
Oh, this is so ridiculous. And they talk about cameras recording,
but they never give any evidence of these.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Yeah, mirror.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
I guess that would mean that our church is dead
because you know, we're just dry.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
You know, Sunday morning miracles not happening. So, Danny, you
made a really good point about the miracles. They keep
talking about these signs and wonders. We need to be
like they were in the Book of Acts. And you
had a really good point about the miracles in the
Book of Acts.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
If you go through the Book of Acts from chapter
one to chapter twenty eight, and I just just do
this as a project. It's not going to take you
too long. Just skim through.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
You don't have to read the bookssignment.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Yeah, go through and just look find the miracles, which
there are. There's there's several signs and wonders, prophecies and things.
But see who's doing the miracles. Who's performing these miracles?
Because what's going on here again back to this idea
of restorationism, is this idea that well, the church needs
(35:53):
to get back to the Book of Acts and we
need to be like the Christians and the Book of Acts,
just performing signs and wonders and miracles, as if as
if every Christian in the Book of Acts was doing
that when you read the Book of Acts, I promise you,
when you read the Book of Acts, you don't see that.
You see the Apostles and the Apostles associates doing the work.
Speaker 6 (36:14):
Right.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Why don't we go through really quickly some chapters in
the Book of Acts and tell you what happened and
who did it so you'll see that pattern. In Chapter two,
the outpouring of the Holy Spirit was performed by God
through the Holy Spirit. Chapter three, the healing of a
lame man at the temple Gate performed by Peter and
(36:37):
John in the name of Jesus. Acts four, an earthquake
after prayer performed by God. Acts five Anonius and Saphira
their judgment and their death performed by God through Peter.
Chapter six Miracles and wonders performed by Stephen, and that
(37:02):
includes that would be Acts six and seven including his vision.
Chapter eight miracles and Samaria performed by Peter, including healing
of the sick, casting out demons, and other signs. Also
Simon the magician was amazed by Peter's miracles by Phillips
(37:27):
forgive me. Chapter nine, Sal's conversion performed.
Speaker 5 (37:32):
By the Lord Jesus Christ Amen.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
The healing of Annaeus performed by Peter, and the raising
of Tabitha or Dorcas from the dead performed by Peter.
Right on Chapter ten. Peter's visions of the clean and
the unclean animals, so that was Peter. Chapter twelve was
(38:00):
miraculously released from prison, performed by God through an angel Yeap.
Chapter thirteen. Elemis the Sorcerer was struck blind by Paul
through the Holy Spirit. Acts fourteen, the healing of a
crippled man in Lystra, and that was Paul. Acts sixteen
(38:26):
Paul cast out a spirit of divination, and then there
was an earthquake in the Philippian jail, and that was,
of course performed by God. And Acts nineteen. Extraordinary miracles
in Ephesus performed by Paul. Acts twenty the raising up
of Uticus who died by Paul, and Acts twenty seven.
(38:49):
There was Paul's prophecy of the shipwreck survival performed by Paul.
Of course, protection from harm during the shipwreck performed by.
Speaker 5 (38:59):
God, so as you can see. And and of course
that's not even counting the prophecies, you know, you you
know Agabus and some of the other you know, some
of the visions and things like that, uh Anonius's vision
and Acts chapter nine when he goes to Paul and
he lays his hands on Paul and Paul receive a site. Well,
(39:22):
the point is the miraculous signs and wonders that were
done were done by the Apostles and their associate Stephen Philip,
those whom they And if you go back to Acts
chapter six, how does Stephen and Philip and the others
there get the ability to do the signs and wonders?
If you look at Acts chapter six, what's going on.
(39:42):
The Apostles lay their hands on them. So it is
the Apostles who transferred and gave them, you know, the
the the modern nar guys talk about this, you know,
transfer of power and lay their hands on people, and
you know they they give the power the Holy Well,
the Apostles did that themselves in the Book of Acts,
(40:04):
and so it was the Apostles and their associates that
were doing the signs and wonders. You didn't see every
Christian and Chris made a good point in the last
video we did Chris rosebro and the last video we
did together, and he talked about what happened in Acts
chapter nine with the healing or the raising of the
dead of Tabitha.
Speaker 16 (40:25):
Tabitha dies, you've got all these Christians here, Why didn't
they raise her from the dead. They didn't do that.
Speaker 5 (40:30):
They went and they got Peter because he was in
Joppa at the time, and Joppa was close to where
they were, and so Peter comes and raises Tabitha or
Dorcas from the dead.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
And I can only imagine, Danny that if it were
something that all of us should be doing, that maybe
it would be listed as one of the gifts of
the Holy Spirit. Doing signs and wonders. Yeah, maybe somewhere
in the New Testament it would have mentioned that all
of the New Christians were performing signs and wonders. But
(41:04):
it doesn't say that anywhere.
Speaker 5 (41:05):
And it actually says the opposite, because Paul says, do
all speaking tongues do all prophesy? Are all workers of miracles?
And the answer a rhetorical is it's a rhetorical question.
The answer is no, it is not. Meganoy to that
is the Greek phrase. Whenever that little particle may is
in front of it, it's a no. So are all
(41:26):
workers of miracles?
Speaker 6 (41:28):
No?
Speaker 5 (41:29):
And so that in and of itself is going to
debunk just that should debunk this idea of this super
group of Christians, the Selek group manifest Sons of God
or what did Bob Jones call it? The whatever, this
group of Christians that are going to go around and
perform signs and wonders and help usher in this great revival.
(41:51):
You know, not all are workers of miracles.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
So let's see what Larry Sparks has to say about
Acts two.
Speaker 9 (42:00):
Well, in March this year, Larry, God gave you an
actual prophetic warning.
Speaker 4 (42:06):
He did, he did. I was actually in Los Angeles.
I went to the Bonnie Bray House that is where
the Azuzu Street Revival of nineteen oh six started, which
ultimately launched what we'd call global Pentecostalism. I didn't have
a reservation to go in the house, so as a
good pentecostal myself, I just walked around and I was
laying hands on it and praying in the spirit. Because
sid I got to be totally honest. I was trying
(42:28):
to make sense of the season of outpouring that we're
currently living in. Because we had Asberry University, where there
was a wonderful visitation of God. You had all these
other Christian schools, and I was starting to hear about
secular universities where the Holy Spirit was falling, the Jesus
Revolution movie. A lot was happening. But I've got to
come clean. I was getting cynical. I was like, Lord,
(42:51):
is this it? Is this the great End Time Revival?
Speaker 9 (42:54):
Is this it?
Speaker 4 (42:55):
If it is, I want to affirm it. I want
to bless it. So I was processing this with the
Holy Spirit, and the Lord came in. He told me
a few things. He said, Number one, Larry, you spend
a lot of time and money getting a degree in
revival history. You should know what's happening.
Speaker 16 (43:07):
He said, it's.
Speaker 4 (43:08):
Acts two verse one. What does Ax two to one say.
It says they gathered together. I feel the Holy Ghost
as I say this right now. I just want to announce,
even over the airways, we are in an Acts two
verse one moment.
Speaker 16 (43:20):
We need to celebrate it.
Speaker 14 (43:22):
And this is what the.
Speaker 16 (43:23):
Spirit of the Lord said to me.
Speaker 4 (43:25):
Acts two to one says they gathered in one place
and one accord. And then right after that, the Lord
told me, Larry, you should know Acts two, verse one
produces the inevitability of a suddenly outpouring of the spirit.
Sid holy Spirit came on me. And he said this
right after he gave me that context. He said, Larry,
(43:45):
all of this is my spirit. I'm stirring the people.
I'm gathering the people. But tell the people, Larry, don't
stop short of the Chicaina glory, glory.
Speaker 1 (43:56):
He's getting carried away with his on that self. So
my issue, Danny is Acts two one. They gathered together
in one accord. Well, doesn't every church congregation? Almost every Yeah,
there are problems in some churches, but most of them
gather together in one accord because they have the same beliefs,
whether their biblical beliefs or not.
Speaker 9 (44:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (44:16):
And he's got the Lord on the hook for taking
that verse out of context, which I guess God wants
to do. That he can personally, you know, do whatever
he wants to do. But I can tell you that
the Lord didn't speak to Larry Sparks and tell him
that you know, you know, Larry, you've been studying revival
long enough Larry, you know.
Speaker 16 (44:36):
What's going on.
Speaker 5 (44:39):
I mean, just think of the Just think of how
ridiculous that is. And again, when you when you look
at scripture, you see seriousness. Even in the Book of Acts,
it's it's it's it's all about the Gospel. It's all
about getting the Gospel and the and the reason why
the apostles were doing the signs and wonders was to
verify their message. It wasn't about the signs of wonders.
(45:00):
But these guys, and again, I'm going to refer back
to the video a couple of weeks ago that Chris
Rose Brown I did, or maybe it was last week,
Actually it was it was last week that Chris and
I did, and he made a good point. Many in
the charismatic movement are they're so focused on signs and
(45:21):
wonders that it's become idolatry. It's this idolatry, this idea
that man, we gotta we gotta be doing signs of wonders,
and that to them, because that, to them is the
realization that the Holy Spirit is working. The Holy Spirit
is there for me, so I have to be doing
signs of wonders. At least I'm sure that is for
(45:44):
many of them.
Speaker 1 (45:44):
And that's my part in it, right Like, so if
I'm not healing or being healed, I don't have the faith,
so I'm dropping the ball. So we need to we
need to get in line.
Speaker 5 (45:56):
Yeah, yep. And now our favorite not really Catherine Crick
talking about a.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
Revival revival is now.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
It is the end time revival, not just any revival,
but the end time revival where the Body of Christ
is gonna is being transforms mightily greatly transforms into the
bride she was intended to be, that bride that started
(46:36):
in the Act Church and lost her way.
Speaker 14 (46:39):
She's being returned now. The body of Christ is being
returned to the Act Church way, the Act Church principles,
God's principles, the Kingdom of God government way now right now,
(47:02):
some of you, some of you all realize this, and.
Speaker 16 (47:04):
That's why you're so excited.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
That's why you traveled a long ways to be here.
Speaker 16 (47:09):
That's why you got your early and.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
Stood in line, because you really realize revival is now.
We are living in the times of what it looked
like in the Act Church.
Speaker 10 (47:21):
That's happening now.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
Okay again, I'm sorry that is an awkward face Barbie
where she just always makes the wrong face at the
wrong time.
Speaker 5 (47:34):
Oh oh, it's a yeah, it's it's really painful to watch.
I don't watch many Catherine Craik videos anymore. I just
I just can't get through them. I just can't get
through them. But yeah, back again to this whole idea
of the ax church, and again this idea that you know,
Christians need to be doing miracles, signs, wonders because that
is what's going to happen at the end time revival. Folks.
(47:56):
We've got the Bible saying something I think different than
what these guys are saying.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
And we have to get that revival for the Lord
to come back. And in another clip, Catherine Creek does
mention that includes you have to have profits and apostles.
You have to be doing this and doing that and
doing the other, so your church government is there. Otherwise
it's nothing's going to work. It's not going to happen.
Speaker 5 (48:21):
Yeah. So there are passages of scripture that these guys
use to try to claim that the Bible does talk
about it in time, the great in time harvest, a
great in time revival. Now they again are relying not
just on scripture but extra biblical prophecy from people like
(48:47):
Bob Jones and Well Smith Wigglesworth and others who have
prophesied that this great in time harvest is going to
take place. And we're not even Look, I'm not even
talking here about post millennialism or anything like that. I'm
talking about the charismatic view of this. This this whole
idea of of the the great in time revival, which
(49:09):
involves by the way, the great wealth transfer. There there's
a ton of stuff that we could we could wrap
around this great great revival. I'm gonna be doing a
video hopefully, uh next week with Jake Elliott, and we're
gonna be talking about dominionism. So all of this stuff
is encompassed and you know, into into one big giant
(49:29):
teaching uh that really falls under the umbrella of dominionism.
Taking this this idea of of of taking you know,
control of the of the earth with the Christians. He
can control the earth with the seven Mountains of Mandate
and all that stuff. So it all falls in together.
Speaker 16 (49:48):
But they have passages of scriptures still that they try
to use to say that the Bible does talk about
a great in time revive.
Speaker 1 (49:56):
They you and and we wanted to go over some
of them. This is not an exhaustive list, picked out
their primary verses. Of course. Number one is Joel two
twenty eight and twenty nine. And it shall come to
pass afterward that I will pour out my spirit on
all flesh. Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your
old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall
(50:17):
see visions, even on the male and female servants. In
those days, I will pour out my spirit.
Speaker 5 (50:24):
And that actually was fulfilled. It was fulfilled. And Acts
chapter two.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
Okay, so we're going to read that Acts two seventeen
through twenty one. And in the last days it shall
be God declares that I will pour out my spirit
on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions, and your old
men shall dream dreams, even on my male servants and
female servants. In those days, I will pour out my spirit,
(50:51):
and they shall prophesy, and I will show wonders in
the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood
and fire and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be
turned to darkness and the moon to blood. Before the
day of the Lord comes the great and magnificent day,
and it shall come to pass that everyone who calls
(51:12):
upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Speaker 5 (51:15):
So Peter's just talking about that what was going on
in Pentecost being the fulfillment of what Robin just read
in Acts chapter.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
Two, right, So they also use Matthew twenty four fourteen.
And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout
the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and
then the end will come.
Speaker 5 (51:40):
So we're talking here about the proclamation of the gospel.
This is not talking about an end time harvest or
an end time revival. Jesus just says that the Gospel
of the king will be proclaimed throughout the whole world.
And isn't that what's going on right now? I mean,
and it's been going on since Christ right ascended. I
mean Peter's first proclamation of the Gospel actually two where
(52:01):
three thousand came and were added to the church that day.
And I mean, look modern day, how many people are
being reached all around the world with a YouTube video
that proclaims the gospel. So, I mean, this does not
this does not have anything to do with an end
time harvest.
Speaker 1 (52:21):
So in Revelation seven nine and ten, after this, I
looked and behold a great multitude that no one could number,
from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages,
standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in
white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying
out with a loud voice. Salvation belongs to our God,
(52:43):
who sits on the throne and to the Lamb.
Speaker 5 (52:46):
So this is the crowd that is in heaven. This
is not this gathering of these people in a great.
Speaker 1 (52:51):
Revival right and John fourteen twelve. Truly, truly, I say
to you, whoever believes in me will also do the
works that I do, And greater works than these will
he do, because I'm going to the Father.
Speaker 5 (53:05):
I did the video again. I mentioned that again the
video that I did with Chris last week, and he
explained it. And I'll just give a brief overview of that.
The word works there as the Greek word aragon. It
is not the Greek word for signs. That's how many
in the charismatic movement interpret this passage to mean miracles.
Jesus is speaking of works, which is the word aragon,
(53:28):
which means deeds or actions, And we see that fulfilled
in Acts chapter two at Peter's preaching, and three thousand
were added to the church. How many people were left?
How many Christians were left at the end of jesus
ministry one hundred and twenty, one hundred and twenty. How
many people were added to the church in Acts chapter
(53:50):
two at Peter's preaching, three thousand?
Speaker 16 (53:52):
Right there.
Speaker 5 (53:52):
He had done greater works already, and we're seeing that
on and on.
Speaker 1 (53:58):
Yes, and Danny, how how could you do a greater
work than Jesus? If a work was a sign or
a miracle, and he raised people from the dead, and
he raised himself from the dead.
Speaker 5 (54:09):
That's the greatest miracle of all. How are you going
to top the resurrection? On top of that? You don't
see these guys common storms. You see kat care out
there screaming and hurricanes and stuff, but you don't see
it actually taking place. Jesus just spoke. You didn't see
Paul calm a storm. And in Acts chapter twenty seven,
when he was on the sea, he didn't command and
(54:30):
demand the waves to stop. Nope, he was shipwrecked on
the island of Malta and that's because Paul did not
have the power to command the storms to stop. So
Jesus or Jesus is not talking about the miracles. He's
talking about his works, the preaching of the Gospel, and
the reaching of people for his name throughout all generations.
Speaker 1 (54:56):
Yes, very good. So Danny, now we have gathered up
some verses that show how really the Bible points towards
something else during the time.
Speaker 5 (55:08):
Yeah, it points towards a great apostasy, a great apostasy,
a falling away from the faith. And when we say
a apostasy, I'm not talking about just just these pastors
that you know, deconstruct their faith. Oh, I was once
a Christian and now I'm no longer a Christian anymore.
(55:28):
I'm not talking about just that. We're talking about this,
the the the the the false doctrine, false prophets, false
teachers that have infiltrated the church and have just.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
Run a mock the people who will stand before the
Lord and say, Lord, didn't we perform signs and wonders
in your names? In your name?
Speaker 5 (55:49):
Yep? So we have a lot of you know, the Bible,
the Bible really really leans more towards that than it
does this great end time revival.
Speaker 1 (55:59):
Sure so well, let's start with Matthew twenty four three
through fourteen. As he sat on the Mount of Olives,
the disciples came to him privately, saying, tell us, when
will these things be? And what will be the sign
of your coming and of the end of the age.
And Jesus answered them, See that no one leads you astray,
for many will come in my name saying I am
(56:20):
the Christ. And they will lead many astray. And you
will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that
you are not alarmed, for this must take place. But
the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and
earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning
(56:40):
of the birth pains. Then they will deliver you up
to tribulation and put you to death, and you will
be hated by all nations for my name's sake. And
then many will fall away and betray one another and
hate one another, and many false prophets will arise and
lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the
(57:02):
love of many will grow cold. But the one who
endures to the end will be saved, and this Gospel
of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world
as a testimony to all nations, and then the end
will come.
Speaker 5 (57:17):
This does not look like there's going to be this
great worldwide revival and billion soul harvests that's going to
bring in this army of youth that's going to go
out and just have superpowers and do all kinds of
wonderful things for the Lord.
Speaker 1 (57:34):
Right. And in that passage, Jesus continues in verses twenty
two through twenty six, and if those days had not
been cut short, no human being would be saved. But
for the sake of the elect those days will be
cut short. Then if anyone says to you, look, here's
the Christ, or there he is, do not believe it,
for false Christs and false prophets will arise and perform
(57:56):
great signs and wonders so as to lead astray, if possible,
even the elect. See. I have told you beforehand. So
if they say to you, look he is in the wilderness,
do not go out. If they say look he is
in the inner rooms, do not believe it.
Speaker 5 (58:14):
Perilous times are coming, and this is really they're already here.
And when you're looking at the end times, Jesus is
very explicit. He tells you right there, this is what's
going to happen when the end, uh, you know, in
the in the time of the end.
Speaker 1 (58:33):
And it should really make us mistrust any sign and
want to Yeah, we see.
Speaker 5 (58:39):
Especially those who claim to be prophets, because many false
prophets are going to arise. Folks, you cannot be sure
of if somebody, well, let me just put it like this,
somebody who says I am the Lord told me or
the Lord spoke to me. Always always always question that,
always question that, because the only thing, the only way
(59:03):
you can know for sure that God is speaking is
through his word through scripture.
Speaker 1 (59:09):
Very good. Second, Thessalonians two three and four, Let no
one deceive you in any way, for that day will
not come unless the rebellion comes first, and the man
of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes
and exalts himself against every so called God or object
of worship, so that he takes his seat in the
(59:32):
Temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
Speaker 5 (59:35):
So we see that there's got to be a great
rebellion that comes. Doesn't look like there's you know, revival here.
It's a rebellion that's expected.
Speaker 1 (59:48):
And two Timothy four, three and four for the time
is coming when people will not endure sound teaching but
have itching ears. They will accumulate for themselves teachers to
suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening
to the truth and wander off into myths.
Speaker 5 (01:00:04):
Doesn't that sound like what's going on right now? That's
what it sounds like to me, especially when you have
teachers that are so such enemies of the Bible and
they say they're not. But when you elevate personal prophecy
over scripture, you can't tell me that you love the Bible.
(01:00:27):
And that's what's going on right now. That's what we see.
We see people accumulating. I mean, think of the accumulating teachers.
They're all over the place. They have run among these
false teachers into the church, and they've accumulated teachers for
themselves that will suit their own passions. I think of
the prosperity Gospel, Word of faith, all of that stuff,
(01:00:48):
and it all blends into the new Apostolic Reformation teaching.
All of this it just, like I said.
Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
Very attractive teaching. Yeah, and Danny tewod Peter two one
through three. But false prophets also arose among the people,
just as there will be false teachers among you, who
will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master
who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many
will follow their sensuality, and because of them, the way
(01:01:20):
of truth will be blasphemed, and in their greed, they
will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long
ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
Speaker 5 (01:01:32):
I'm looking at our notes, and we have several passages
we could continue to read, but you get the point.
It seems that the Bible has more of the theme
of a great falling away or an end time's apostasy,
rather than a great revival.
Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
Yeah. And I'm thinking, Danny, isn't it so much more
important to live out the gospel and be able to
share the Gospel with your neighbors, with your coworkers than
it is to heal someone in Walmart.
Speaker 5 (01:02:08):
Yeah. This is a big distraction, folks, And that's what
this is doing. This is distracting people, taking their eyes
off of Christ and him crucified and buried and rose
again for you. Christ bled and died for you and
has forgiven your sins. That's the focus. But that's not
what these people are preaching. They're preaching all about signs
(01:02:29):
and wonders and miracles. That's their main focus, not Christ.
So that's what the focus needs to be on. I
hope this video is helpful. Folks. Lord willin We'll see
you next week.
Speaker 6 (01:02:40):
I
Welcome to the Long for Truth podcast. I'm Robin Long.
Join my husband Dan and I as we explore the
roots of the early Pentecostal and Charismatic movements and we
shine a light on false doctrines and false teachers in
the modern church. Let's get started.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It is the end Time Revival, not just any revival,
but the end time revival.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Is this?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
It is this the great end Time Revival.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
This is the sign of God's power.
Speaker 6 (00:31):
And we're going to pray right now for the power
of God to come upon the earth of the world
to pray for the end time revival.
Speaker 7 (00:38):
Tull right up up.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I felt like the Lord said, listen, jo, I'm unlocking
the wells. I'm unlocking the wells. Father, release it in
the name of Jesus.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
Out of your billy.
Speaker 8 (00:58):
Now that great harvest us. I'm going to interject something.
Is this the final harvest? And you know what, I'm
not convinced it is necessary. There is a difference between
the great harvest that we have ever seen and is
it necessarily the final harvest?
Speaker 9 (01:14):
Huh?
Speaker 8 (01:15):
And I'm gonna leave you hanging on that one.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Okay, Hello, everyone, Welcome along for Truth. My name is
Daniel Long, and sitting next to me is my lovely
wife Robin.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Hi.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Everyone, So I'm sure if you have been in the
Charismatic movement or you know people in the Charismatic movement,
you've heard of this great in Time revival, this billion
soul harvest that's supposed to take place. It's really talked
about a lot within the New Apostolic Reformation, but it's
it's it's outside of that as well. So we're gonna
(01:46):
be talking about that today and we're going to be
asking the question, is there going to be a great
in Time revival or does the Bible say there's going
to be something else? So we're gonna cover that today.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Right and before we get started, we wanted to talk
a little bit about I think it was a few
weeks ago we asked you to email us with ideas
for videos on people or topics, if you had a
clip you wanted to share with us. We got a
lot of responses, so thank you very much for that,
and we are working on putting together some videos for
(02:21):
you right now based on the information you've sent us.
If you have anything, just keep emailing them to us.
Long for Truth one at gmail dot com. And we
would love to do videos on it. Let us know
if we should not use your name, we'll probably just
use your first name in the video as a thank
you for sending us some information. And if you don't
(02:45):
want us to do that, just let us know.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Yep, there you go. All right, So let's talk about
this idea of a great end time revival. Now, when
we look back in history, we can see this thing
going all the way back even in towards the Latter
Rain Movement in the nineteen forties and nineteen fifties, where
they talked about the manifest Sons of God, doctor and
this great group of super Christians that were going to
(03:10):
come and perform signs and wonders and have this great,
big revival.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
And even before that, Danny, we took it as far
back as Smith Wigglesworth, right, who talked about revival that
was going to happen. And we're going to show you
a clip of Lester Sumraw who when he was younger,
probably in his twenties, he was in Great Britain and
he would visit Smith Wigglesworth for dinner, like every couple
(03:37):
of weeks they would go and he would he developed
this relationship with Smith Wigglesworth. Well, this was right before
I think World War two. So when World War two began,
the officials in Great Britain told Lester Somemrall that he
had to return to the United States. So he went
to say goodbye to Smith Wigglesworth. And what you're about
(04:01):
to hear is what Smith Wigglesworth told him during their
final meeting.
Speaker 10 (04:05):
And I felt the holy annoying of the Most High
God as it flowed from him into me. Now I
have been blessed by a number of great men, and
I'm so thankful for it. To go around the world
when I was so young, and to meet the great
men of the whole world and a hundred nations of
(04:27):
the world, you know, was a real honor, and so
I appreciated it so much. And as he broke the embrace,
he said, you will be blessed, and faith will reside
within you, and you will do unusual things. I presume
it was the kind of a prophecy. And then he said,
(04:47):
I wish to tell you something, and I said, yes,
always says I see it. His eyes were burning like
Elijah's eyes when he saw the chariot of the most high.
His face, his face was so strong, as he was
looking at me and saying, I see it. And I said,
(05:10):
what do you see? He said, I see revival coming
to planet Earth. He says, I see revival coming to
planet Earth, maybe as never never before, as never before,
I see revival coming.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
He says.
Speaker 10 (05:29):
It will be untold numbers and untold uncounted multitudes that
will be saved. That no man will say so many,
so many, because nobody will be able to count those
that will come to Jesus. And I just stood there
and he was prophesying and seeing a vision, because he said,
(05:49):
I see it.
Speaker 9 (05:50):
I see it.
Speaker 10 (05:51):
He said, the dead will be raised, He said, the
arthritic will be healed. He said cancer will be healed.
And he began to tell me of the mighty things,
that no disease would be able to stand before God's people,
and that it would be a world wide situation, not local,
(06:14):
but it would be a world wide thrust of God's
power and thrust of God's anointing upon mankind. And I
was listening so intently to it. Then he opened his
eyes and looked at me, and he said, I will
not see it, but you shall see it.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
And he didn't see any such thing, So right there
is if he's being honest there, and he really had
a prophecy given to him by Smith Wigglesworth. Well, that
was a failed prophecy. It was a false prophecy.
Speaker 11 (06:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
He passed in nineteen ninety six. And we have someone
else who claimed that they were viewing the last generation
of youth, that there would be a great revival, and
that did not come to fruition in her time either,
and that's Catherine Coleman.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
I believe that this is.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
The very last youth generation before the great priblation.
Speaker 12 (07:18):
I believe that. I've got to believe it.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Knowing the word of prophecies I do. This is the
last youth generation.
Speaker 12 (07:32):
Before the great tribulation.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Sitting here in this assembly this Monday morning, face it, face.
Speaker 12 (07:42):
Facts, face God, face reality, face truth, you young people
sitting here, or the last youth generation in this dispensation.
Speaker 9 (08:00):
I'd be believe.
Speaker 12 (08:01):
It, and I'd stake my very life.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
When I'm talking to you, what we're saying to you
is a vitally importance and you've got to do something
about it.
Speaker 13 (08:14):
You got to do something about it.
Speaker 9 (08:17):
I be believe.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
In this last hour all the fruits, all the gifts
of the spirit to be restored to the church. There
were miracle services with every person present. It doesn't say
how many were present in the service, but all were
healed for the power of God. As that precious Catholic
(08:42):
sister was being filled with the Holy Spirit, and I
stood there only a couple of feet from her. I
was unaware of those out in the crowd, absolutely unaware.
I received a spiritual revelation.
Speaker 14 (08:59):
Sometimes I went whether that.
Speaker 15 (09:00):
Was just for me.
Speaker 12 (09:03):
On the day of Pentecosts, they were all ill.
Speaker 10 (09:10):
With the Holy Ghost.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
The ot is that my bread.
Speaker 12 (09:19):
Boy?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
She is one creepy woman. I'm gonna tell you that
right now.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
She really has quite a stage presence.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Yeah she does. And she was talking to a group
of youth there at o RU back in nineteen seventy two.
And again they weren't the last youth generation. So, I mean,
this kind of thing is happened, happens all the time,
and that's why we do not believe that the Bible
(09:46):
talks about a great end time revival. But the Bible
talks about a great apostasy. And that's what I think
we are seeing right now.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, in a little while. We're gonna go through a
bunch of Bible verses on how they have developed this
idea that there's going to be a last Great Revival
and what the Bible actually says. And it seems, going
through our research that most of their ideas about the
last Great Revival come through these profits in the twentieth century.
(10:17):
One of the best examples of that, of course, is
Bob Jones, and we're going to share his prophecy with you.
Speaker 15 (10:25):
So I was thinking, Man, I fuckered up.
Speaker 9 (10:28):
This is it?
Speaker 15 (10:29):
No more pain, no more this trial, no more than nothing.
I'm going home and I'm going home in obedience. And
he put his hand out in front of it, and
he said, stop. The enemy killed you before your time,
and I want you to go back. And I said,
I'm not doing any good. Nobody's listening to me. He said,
(10:49):
you're a liar, for you spoke what I told you to.
If you had spoke on your own, you wouldn't be
But you spoke what I told you to. And what
I say will happen. My words will not return to
me void, but they will take place. And I said,
but it's so painful down there. Uh. The rejection the persecution.
(11:15):
And he said, yeah, you've sort of got a cowardly
streak in you, but I'll work that out. And he said,
when you were a Baptist, you had a love for souls,
and if you still want to come in, I'll take
(11:36):
you in. After you look again at that line. I
look again at all those people who's going to hell,
and they wasn't going to hell for no one hundred
thousand years. They's going to hell for all eternity, and
they'll serve their God in hell for all eternity. And
I looked back at him and said, I'd go back
for one soul. I'd actually go back to the cross
(11:57):
for one soul. He said, I'm I'm not sending you
back for one soul. I'm sending you back to touch
a few of the leaders of the church to where
they take it oversea and protect and get behind. What
I'm going to do, I'm going to bring one billion
youth to myself and one of the greatest awakenings of
all time. I'm going to glorify myself beyond anything that's
(12:20):
ever happened, and ever token and everything that's ever been
done in scripture. I'm going to repeat it thousands and
thousands of times, and I want you to go back
and prepare and tell them that this is what I
will do in one great way. So throughout the years
I've stayed alive because I'm going to see it. I
(12:42):
was told I would see the first of it. I
will see it. I was also told that I would
see the glory. I've saw it recently. The glory is
here to stay. It'll never leave again. And that glory
is a preparation for a harvest beyond imagination. One billion youth.
(13:03):
Over half the population of the world is under eighteen
one billion it watched. I'm not saying that'll be all,
because it'll be those already saved, but one great harvest,
one great increase of over a billion. I believe that
it'll probably begin around the year of two twenty.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Okay, so forgive me. I forgot to tell you that
Bob Jones in that clip had literally he claimed he
was killed by a demon who didn't like him or
didn't want him around, and that was his experience when
he went to heaven. And if you've ever seen that clip,
he has a huge story to tell about a numerous
(13:45):
things that happened when he went there. But that was
the beginning of it. And before we get into that clip,
I got to tell you, I think I mentioned this
last time we watched a Bob Jones clip. He is
a lipsmacker and it's one of those things that drives me.
And We're watching that clip and Danny is laughing as
I'm getting more and more tense from that that he's
(14:08):
a difficult man to listen to on a number of Levels's.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Now, think about this for a moment, though, Robin. We
all know the situation with what happened to I HOP
International House of Prayer and Mike Bickel. Before that, it
was Bob Jones who in the Kansas City prophets and
every just about every single one of them had immoral issues.
(14:35):
But think about this for a moment. For years before
Mike Bickle's fall, the entire doctrinal foundation, pretty much of
I HOP was built upon the prophecies of Bob Jones
that in and of itself, should just let that sink in.
Speaker 16 (15:00):
I mean serious, exactly let that sink in.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Not on the word of God, literally.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
No, exactly now and in their big in their big
go to book which I just finished reading, uh, you
know my morning readings the Song of Solomon and I
you know, look, it's the word of God, right and
the Word of God is the Word of God. But
we're allowed to have favorite books and in books that
(15:25):
we like. I just would not be I just would
never pick Song of Solomon as my favorite book. But
that was their whole go to book of the Bible.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
It took an inordinate focus on that particular book. Yes,
what Mike Bickle did.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Yeah, you're not saying they didn't use other play places
of scripture, passages of scripture, but that was their their
their big one they used talk about all the time. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Right, So a couple of things. Number One, Bob Jones
would be the first person that mentioned the billion soul harvests.
So when you hear that, that's where that all started, correct.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Yes, And so it's very similar to the latter range
manifest Sons of God, which which talked about, like I
said in the beginning, this this super group of Christians
that are going to be performing signs and wonders, are
going to be doing all these major things to bring
in this revival that's going to bring Christ back.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Right, And Bob Jones has a huge prophecy about that
where we're literally on a conveyor not we the manifest
sons of God's are literally on a conveyor belt, and
they look like I remember yellow jelly beans.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Yellow jelly being that I remember that. You check our
Bob Jones video out. We did an entire.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Video it's creating them. Yeah, very strange. Thought it was
interesting that God really told Bob Jones, well, you can
come in if you want to. So he left that
whole thing up to Bob Jones whether he wanted to
go into heaven or come back to Earth.
Speaker 16 (16:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
So we had Lester Summraw who did not see this
great in Time revival. We had Catherine Cooleman who did
not see the last Youth generation but prophesied that it
was going that Theriu group and that generation in that
group was the last one. And we had Bob Jones
here saying that he's going to see it although and
(17:22):
he says it's going to happen in twenty twenty and
he died in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Another thing is the billion souls. So we did the math.
Right now, there are about eight billion people on Earth,
and according to some studies, it says like two billion, No,
four billion of those people are under the age of
twenty five, so one quarter would be one billion people.
(17:52):
So one quarter of all of the youth that are
now on earth would have to come to the Lord
for that particular prophecy to come true.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Yeah, just it's it's not gonna happen, folks. I mean, here,
here's what here's the way I see it. Yeah, there's
this massive stuff going on. And you you've got Lew Engles,
big stadiums you know that have been filled. You've got
the Todd White standing up there, Shawn Bulls, You've got
all these you know, these events taking place. You've got
(18:28):
the the these other youth things happening a lot of colleges.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, now that they talk about, you've seen them over
the past year or two where these there are these
massive revivals on Christian campuses and secular campuses.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Yeah. But the thing is is that when you have
guys like lou Engele, Sean Bowles, Todd White and all
the other naar folks up there that are teaching false doctrine,
like you know, the Prosperity Gospel Word of faith, Christians
can be demon possessed all this false doctrine and even heresy.
(19:07):
Maybe they do have a lot of followers and a
lot of people coming to these youth rallies, and if
they want to call that revivals, they can, But it's
not the great it's not a great end time revival.
It's more like apostasy. We're watching apostacy take place before
our very eyes, exactly.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
And Danny, I think of even when Jesus drew huge crowds,
how many of those people turned away from him exactly,
like you think of the lepers, you know, exactly ten
were cleansed and one came back and with all of
his disciples, not his very specific disciples, but the crowds
of disciples that turned away from him at some point
(19:47):
in his ministry. So, because just because people are attending
these revivals or even making some confession of faith, does
not mean their true followers, Lord Willing, it would be
wonderful if they were, yep.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
But like I said, when you have leaders that are
teaching heresy and false doctrine and they're the ones that
are sparking these revivals, to me, it looks like a
revival of apostasy rather than a great end time revival, right, so,
and I should say a gathering of apostasy, because revival
(20:25):
of apostacy wouldn't make any sense, but large gathering of
apostasy going on.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
So the strange, the great and strange. James Gall was
a follower, was very closely associated with Bob Jones, and
he in this clip is speaking about the great end times.
And if you listen to this clip, you're often Nowheresville
(20:51):
by the time it's halfway through, Like I'm like, I
don't even know what you're saying, James Gall, but it
is kind of entertaining. We're going to show you what
he has to say about the Great Harvest.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
And I saw this is going to stretch people drunks
going into horse traps, and the lightning of God would
strike them and they would come up out of this
and they would be converted and they would go what
just happened? And they would wow, I've got the whoa,
I got the fire of God actually coming on my
(21:21):
hands right now, right now, right now, I prophesy the
God of the Suddenly's is coming and it is the
time of the Great Harvest. And we have crossed over
the threshold of saying on one side of the Jordan River.
It's coming, It's coming, It's coming, and we have crossed
over into a divine inheritance. It's not only like Peggy
(21:43):
and Christina Smith in the Hebrides Island Revival saying it's coming,
it's coming, it's coming to you. Go we need to
go get a preacher because he's all rush mercy. I mean,
I feel the manifest prey over me, and this fire
in a manifest way is all over this gun finger
(22:06):
of mine. It's the prophetic and it's all over this
outreach finger. And I speak prophetic evangelism and mercy. Jesus, Jesus,
I speak an impartation of prophetic evangelism, the God of
the suddenlyes and I speak baptisms of water, baptisms of
the Holy Spirit, baptisms of fire that result in baptisms
(22:30):
of deliverance for such a time as this a man.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
So I would love to see him do a conference
with Tim Sheets, the Angel Whisper, because I think they're
both on prophecy. Bernie.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
There is.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
There is something in something he's eating that puts you
on a different level. And everyone in that congregation would
have to eat a prophecy breath. So they could understand
what is going on when they're speaking.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Oh my goodness, talking about.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Fire and enlightening God. Any dreams in threes, like he
has three separate dreams a night that all have to
do with things. And he's explaining that. But by his books,
that's what it boils down to.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Buy his books now, he Yeah, So, I guess feelings
make things true, right. I just feel the presence of God.
He's all over me. Oh, you know, I'm the you know,
the mercy of Jesus. I just feel, folks, feelings, they
come and they go. There are plenty of people out
there who feel that they're saved or feel that they're Christians,
(23:35):
and they're not because of the way that you know,
they care less about their sin and you know.
Speaker 16 (23:41):
They just go on and live in their life.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
But hey, I feel the presence of God when I'm
at church and I'm just feeling the Holy Spirit and
He's Folks.
Speaker 16 (23:49):
Feelings mean nothing. There are plenty of people out there
who are who doubt their salvation and they are real,
honest to goodness children of God. And that's the thing.
Are we cannot rely on our feelings.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
You cannot, And God gave us emotions and they're beautiful.
I think of having the joy of the Lord, or
being overcome by the awe the and the awful aspects
of God and the amazing. I mean, of course we
have emotions, but to base our salvation, and my fingers
(24:23):
are tingling therefore and getting something, yes, exactly.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
So it's yeah, it's like the same thing. It kind
of reminds me of how you know these church services
that have this, you know, the the music, and the
music is supposed to stir these emotions up, and the
music then becomes a way to usher in the Holy Spirit.
This is just not this. This is not how it works, folks,
(24:49):
not how it works.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Okay, let's move a moving along. James Mike Bickle, of course,
great student of Bob Jones. Right, he speaks about the
billion soul harvest.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
My favorite topic is the beauty of Jesus as bridegroom,
king and judge, the beauty of Jesus bringing the body
of Christ, the first commandment to love God with all
of our heart, and the great in time revival on
the billion sole harvest. That is the ultimate thing that's
going on. The Lord is preparing his transforming his church
(25:26):
to be a prepared bride. He's coming back Revelation nineteen
seven for a prepared bride, a mature church. So the
beauty of Jesus is a bridegroom, king of judge. He's
a king with power, he's a bridegroom with desire for relationship,
and he's a judge with great zeal to remove everything
(25:47):
that hinders love.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
But all three of.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Those manifest his beauty with no contradiction whatsoever. And that's
the context. He's going to bring forth the great in
time harvest and the transformation of the in time church
from a church with a layot of sea and spirit
of dullness to a prepared bride, deeply rooted in love.
Speaker 16 (26:07):
And the Sermon on the Mount.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
And all these subjects, that's what I love.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
And of course I don't even have to say anything
here about Mike Picckle. We all know that all of
this kind of fell flat on his face.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Right, Danny, He did mention the bride of Christ. And
you wanted to read a verse.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yeah, we're gonna look at Revelation nineteen because that's the
verse he mentioned. He said, a prepared bride. So he
pulls this idea of a prepared bride right out of
the context of Revelation nineteen and we're going to see
that as we again. And this is true. I mean,
this really is true. When you're listening to a teacher
(26:48):
and they quote a verse, open up your Bible, look
at the verses before, you know, three, four, five, maybe
to the top of the chapter, and go down and
after and find out if they are taking that verse
out of context. Honestly, reading scripture within its context really
(27:08):
solves I'm gonna say, at least seventy to eighty percent
of all questions. Yeah, you'll answer all your questions within
seventy to eighty percent of the time.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
It really does clear up a lot.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
So let's let's look at that past.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Okay, Revelation nineteen six through eight. Then I heard what
seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like
the roar of many waters, and like the sound of
mighty peals of thunder, crying out, hallelujah for the Lord,
our God, the almighty rains. Let us rejoice and exalt
and give him glory. For the marriage of the Lamb
has come, and his bride has made herself ready. It
(27:43):
was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright
and pure, for the fine linen is the righteous deeds
of the saints.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Okay, this does not mean that the bride has to
prepare herself before Christ comes. This has nothing to do
about some kind of uh, you know, passage about the
church preparing herself for Christ so that Christ can return it.
This is not what it's talking about. This is all
you know that this is. You read read it in
(28:13):
its context and you can see that, right.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Or Danny, would you say, preparing herself not the way
they're saying through ushering in these great revivals, but preparing
herself through doing the good deeds and obeying what God's
word is telling her to do.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
We look at the Book of Acts. I don't know
about you, but it's my favorite book of the Bible.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
Sir.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
I love the Gospels, but but I'm not Jesus. I'm
more like Peter John, you know, you know, make mistakes
and yet still God uses me. That's where I live
in the Book of Acts. And when I discovered in
scripture this prophecy about an end time awakening that will
overshadow the Book of Acts, I got so excited. So
(28:57):
everything that you see in the Book of Acts. Imagine
that on steroids. That's what the inn Time Church is
going to look like.
Speaker 13 (29:04):
And a lot of times when we look at the
church today we question that because in many sectors of
the body and in the world, we're not seeing even
yet what is in the Book of ax Let alone.
Beyond that, although in many places we are seeing the
flow of the spirit. God's doing amazing things.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
But this is China right now. Every single miracle that
you see in the Book of Acts is happening every
day over there. The dead are being raised, the sick
are being healed. Thousands will the church there is one
hundred and sixty million, so every day tens of thousands
are coming into the Kingdom. So they're already experiencing this
in Time's.
Speaker 13 (29:40):
Revival, right and it's still going to get bigger though,
it's still going to get greater.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
It's going to get bigger, and it's going to spread
throughout the world. We were in and there's a key
that we're going to get to in a minute that
is unlocking this outbooring. But we were recently in Nepal
and we found out that over the past ten years
that the church there has gone from under one percent
to over ten percent. That's two point five million people,
(30:05):
to the point that the government has now made it
illegal to share the gospel. So you know, and you
look at India, South America. I've been to Africa, so
many mirrors Iraq Iran.
Speaker 13 (30:16):
It's just amazing. Even in some of the most difficult,
challenging places, God is moving right in power. It's awesome.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
So before I know you're ready say something, but let
me just let me just say this really quickly. This
is what's called restorationism, a return, a desire to return
to the Book of Acts and see Christianity do everything
that you know Christian supposedly did in the Book of Acts.
And this has been going on for a long time.
(30:48):
This you can trace us back like to ab Simpson,
back in the late eighteen hundreds of the late nineteenth century.
You know, these early guys like Parham and ab Simpson
and Awi. It was all that was the whole purpose
of Zion. Let's restore the church the way to the
way it used to be in the Book of Acts.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Right.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
He mentions that I have a key that I'm going
to share later, and later on in that video he
brings up the fact that revival will happen when the
nation of Israel starts to turn more towards God. So
if if you have any group of Jews that become
Christians or something like that, that will bring about revival.
(31:30):
So that's what they're trying to do. Interesting fun fact
I did not know is that the dead are being
raised in China.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
Yeah. Yeah, you see that everywhere, don't you. I mean
there's all kinds of videos and stuff about, you know,
people raising the dead and they're not fake at all.
They don't they don't look fake at all. But you know, yeah,
because people have cell phones and the recording it everywhere. Anyway,
who knew?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
We do have some more of the same from who
are these two.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Jean Bailey and Joseph Dowell and there gene Bailey is
all I think he if I remember correctly, and you
guys can correct me if I'm wrong. I should have
looked at this before we started recording. But I think
Gene Bailey is connected to Kenneth Copeland and Kenneth Copeland ministries,
and so because they do promote Copeland. I know that.
But anyway, here's Jen Bailey and Joseph Dow talking about
(32:25):
the Smith Wigglesworth's prophecy. I guess on revival.
Speaker 11 (32:30):
You and I were talking before we went on the
air with this program about revival in this day and age.
We we've talked about on this program as well as
in church service, about the the the prophecy of Smith
Wigglesworth gave to Leicester summer all about this last great
revival in the Great Awakening. How does that fit with
(32:55):
where you've been and what you see? What do you
see the same thing?
Speaker 16 (32:59):
I see?
Speaker 9 (32:59):
It getting to break loose all over America and Canada
and the other nations. This is God's end time revival.
It's happening. You may be sitting in some dead dry church,
or pardon me, doctor Frost as the pastor. You may
be haven't seen a miracle or felt the power of God.
(33:23):
If they don't believe in miracles, if they don't believe
in the baptism of Holy Gos, grab your kids and run.
Revival is coming. It's getting out of the walls of
the church. I got a video of a lady in
a Walmart store, eighty years old, turns down an islean.
There's a man sitting in a wheelchair. She said, young man,
would you like for Jesus to he you today? He
(33:47):
batted his eyes and he said, well, I guess. So
she opened her purse and got out a bottle of ale,
and on it he would start praying. People started gathering around.
The cameras in the Walmart store started videotaping the prayer
of faith. That's the difference. Not just any old prayer.
The prayer of faith shall save the sick. And the
Lord Shuriason and he gets up out of his wheelchair
(34:09):
and walks clear around the store. It's happening in walmarts.
It's happening on the streets. It's happening in the highways
and the hedges. It's happening people driving down the road
and God is turning them into a church or to
a revival. They're running in somewhere and saying, would you
pray for me? I need Jesus.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (34:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
People are doing miracles all over the place in walmarts,
especially Robin and I set all the time, and the
cameras record it. And up here in our in our
little walmart, up here in our little town, it's everywhere.
They're just miracles going on all over the place.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Next time you go to Walmart and have your camera ready.
I'm going to see what's going on.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
Oh, this is so ridiculous. And they talk about cameras recording,
but they never give any evidence of these.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Yeah, mirror.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
I guess that would mean that our church is dead
because you know, we're just dry.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
You know, Sunday morning miracles not happening. So, Danny, you
made a really good point about the miracles. They keep
talking about these signs and wonders. We need to be
like they were in the Book of Acts. And you
had a really good point about the miracles in the
Book of Acts.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
If you go through the Book of Acts from chapter
one to chapter twenty eight, and I just just do
this as a project. It's not going to take you
too long. Just skim through.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
You don't have to read the bookssignment.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Yeah, go through and just look find the miracles, which
there are. There's there's several signs and wonders, prophecies and things.
But see who's doing the miracles. Who's performing these miracles?
Because what's going on here again back to this idea
of restorationism, is this idea that well, the church needs
(35:53):
to get back to the Book of Acts and we
need to be like the Christians and the Book of Acts,
just performing signs and wonders and miracles, as if as
if every Christian in the Book of Acts was doing
that when you read the Book of Acts, I promise you,
when you read the Book of Acts, you don't see that.
You see the Apostles and the Apostles associates doing the work.
Speaker 6 (36:14):
Right.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Why don't we go through really quickly some chapters in
the Book of Acts and tell you what happened and
who did it so you'll see that pattern. In Chapter two,
the outpouring of the Holy Spirit was performed by God
through the Holy Spirit. Chapter three, the healing of a
lame man at the temple Gate performed by Peter and
(36:37):
John in the name of Jesus. Acts four, an earthquake
after prayer performed by God. Acts five Anonius and Saphira
their judgment and their death performed by God through Peter.
Chapter six Miracles and wonders performed by Stephen, and that
(37:02):
includes that would be Acts six and seven including his vision.
Chapter eight miracles and Samaria performed by Peter, including healing
of the sick, casting out demons, and other signs. Also
Simon the magician was amazed by Peter's miracles by Phillips
(37:27):
forgive me. Chapter nine, Sal's conversion performed.
Speaker 5 (37:32):
By the Lord Jesus Christ Amen.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
The healing of Annaeus performed by Peter, and the raising
of Tabitha or Dorcas from the dead performed by Peter.
Right on Chapter ten. Peter's visions of the clean and
the unclean animals, so that was Peter. Chapter twelve was
(38:00):
miraculously released from prison, performed by God through an angel Yeap.
Chapter thirteen. Elemis the Sorcerer was struck blind by Paul
through the Holy Spirit. Acts fourteen, the healing of a
crippled man in Lystra, and that was Paul. Acts sixteen
(38:26):
Paul cast out a spirit of divination, and then there
was an earthquake in the Philippian jail, and that was,
of course performed by God. And Acts nineteen. Extraordinary miracles
in Ephesus performed by Paul. Acts twenty the raising up
of Uticus who died by Paul, and Acts twenty seven.
(38:49):
There was Paul's prophecy of the shipwreck survival performed by Paul.
Of course, protection from harm during the shipwreck performed by.
Speaker 5 (38:59):
God, so as you can see. And and of course
that's not even counting the prophecies, you know, you you
know Agabus and some of the other you know, some
of the visions and things like that, uh Anonius's vision
and Acts chapter nine when he goes to Paul and
he lays his hands on Paul and Paul receive a site. Well,
(39:22):
the point is the miraculous signs and wonders that were
done were done by the Apostles and their associate Stephen Philip,
those whom they And if you go back to Acts
chapter six, how does Stephen and Philip and the others
there get the ability to do the signs and wonders?
If you look at Acts chapter six, what's going on.
(39:42):
The Apostles lay their hands on them. So it is
the Apostles who transferred and gave them, you know, the
the the modern nar guys talk about this, you know,
transfer of power and lay their hands on people, and
you know they they give the power the Holy Well,
the Apostles did that themselves in the Book of Acts,
(40:04):
and so it was the Apostles and their associates that
were doing the signs and wonders. You didn't see every
Christian and Chris made a good point in the last
video we did Chris rosebro and the last video we
did together, and he talked about what happened in Acts
chapter nine with the healing or the raising of the
dead of Tabitha.
Speaker 16 (40:25):
Tabitha dies, you've got all these Christians here, Why didn't
they raise her from the dead. They didn't do that.
Speaker 5 (40:30):
They went and they got Peter because he was in
Joppa at the time, and Joppa was close to where
they were, and so Peter comes and raises Tabitha or
Dorcas from the dead.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
And I can only imagine, Danny that if it were
something that all of us should be doing, that maybe
it would be listed as one of the gifts of
the Holy Spirit. Doing signs and wonders. Yeah, maybe somewhere
in the New Testament it would have mentioned that all
of the New Christians were performing signs and wonders. But
(41:04):
it doesn't say that anywhere.
Speaker 5 (41:05):
And it actually says the opposite, because Paul says, do
all speaking tongues do all prophesy? Are all workers of miracles?
And the answer a rhetorical is it's a rhetorical question.
The answer is no, it is not. Meganoy to that
is the Greek phrase. Whenever that little particle may is
in front of it, it's a no. So are all
(41:26):
workers of miracles?
Speaker 6 (41:28):
No?
Speaker 5 (41:29):
And so that in and of itself is going to
debunk just that should debunk this idea of this super
group of Christians, the Selek group manifest Sons of God
or what did Bob Jones call it? The whatever, this
group of Christians that are going to go around and
perform signs and wonders and help usher in this great revival.
(41:51):
You know, not all are workers of miracles.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
So let's see what Larry Sparks has to say about
Acts two.
Speaker 9 (42:00):
Well, in March this year, Larry, God gave you an
actual prophetic warning.
Speaker 4 (42:06):
He did, he did. I was actually in Los Angeles.
I went to the Bonnie Bray House that is where
the Azuzu Street Revival of nineteen oh six started, which
ultimately launched what we'd call global Pentecostalism. I didn't have
a reservation to go in the house, so as a
good pentecostal myself, I just walked around and I was
laying hands on it and praying in the spirit. Because
sid I got to be totally honest. I was trying
(42:28):
to make sense of the season of outpouring that we're
currently living in. Because we had Asberry University, where there
was a wonderful visitation of God. You had all these
other Christian schools, and I was starting to hear about
secular universities where the Holy Spirit was falling, the Jesus
Revolution movie. A lot was happening. But I've got to
come clean. I was getting cynical. I was like, Lord,
(42:51):
is this it? Is this the great End Time Revival?
Speaker 9 (42:54):
Is this it?
Speaker 4 (42:55):
If it is, I want to affirm it. I want
to bless it. So I was processing this with the
Holy Spirit, and the Lord came in. He told me
a few things. He said, Number one, Larry, you spend
a lot of time and money getting a degree in
revival history. You should know what's happening.
Speaker 16 (43:07):
He said, it's.
Speaker 4 (43:08):
Acts two verse one. What does Ax two to one say.
It says they gathered together. I feel the Holy Ghost
as I say this right now. I just want to announce,
even over the airways, we are in an Acts two
verse one moment.
Speaker 16 (43:20):
We need to celebrate it.
Speaker 14 (43:22):
And this is what the.
Speaker 16 (43:23):
Spirit of the Lord said to me.
Speaker 4 (43:25):
Acts two to one says they gathered in one place
and one accord. And then right after that, the Lord
told me, Larry, you should know Acts two, verse one
produces the inevitability of a suddenly outpouring of the spirit.
Sid holy Spirit came on me. And he said this
right after he gave me that context. He said, Larry,
(43:45):
all of this is my spirit. I'm stirring the people.
I'm gathering the people. But tell the people, Larry, don't
stop short of the Chicaina glory, glory.
Speaker 1 (43:56):
He's getting carried away with his on that self. So
my issue, Danny is Acts two one. They gathered together
in one accord. Well, doesn't every church congregation? Almost every Yeah,
there are problems in some churches, but most of them
gather together in one accord because they have the same beliefs,
whether their biblical beliefs or not.
Speaker 9 (44:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (44:16):
And he's got the Lord on the hook for taking
that verse out of context, which I guess God wants
to do. That he can personally, you know, do whatever
he wants to do. But I can tell you that
the Lord didn't speak to Larry Sparks and tell him
that you know, you know, Larry, you've been studying revival
long enough Larry, you know.
Speaker 16 (44:36):
What's going on.
Speaker 5 (44:39):
I mean, just think of the Just think of how
ridiculous that is. And again, when you when you look
at scripture, you see seriousness. Even in the Book of Acts,
it's it's it's it's all about the Gospel. It's all
about getting the Gospel and the and the reason why
the apostles were doing the signs and wonders was to
verify their message. It wasn't about the signs of wonders.
(45:00):
But these guys, and again, I'm going to refer back
to the video a couple of weeks ago that Chris
Rose Brown I did, or maybe it was last week,
Actually it was it was last week that Chris and
I did, and he made a good point. Many in
the charismatic movement are they're so focused on signs and
(45:21):
wonders that it's become idolatry. It's this idolatry, this idea
that man, we gotta we gotta be doing signs of wonders,
and that to them, because that, to them is the
realization that the Holy Spirit is working. The Holy Spirit
is there for me, so I have to be doing
signs of wonders. At least I'm sure that is for
(45:44):
many of them.
Speaker 1 (45:44):
And that's my part in it, right Like, so if
I'm not healing or being healed, I don't have the faith,
so I'm dropping the ball. So we need to we
need to get in line.
Speaker 5 (45:56):
Yeah, yep. And now our favorite not really Catherine Crick
talking about a.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
Revival revival is now.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
It is the end time revival, not just any revival,
but the end time revival where the Body of Christ
is gonna is being transforms mightily greatly transforms into the
bride she was intended to be, that bride that started
(46:36):
in the Act Church and lost her way.
Speaker 14 (46:39):
She's being returned now. The body of Christ is being
returned to the Act Church way, the Act Church principles,
God's principles, the Kingdom of God government way now right now,
(47:02):
some of you, some of you all realize this, and.
Speaker 16 (47:04):
That's why you're so excited.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
That's why you traveled a long ways to be here.
Speaker 16 (47:09):
That's why you got your early and.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
Stood in line, because you really realize revival is now.
We are living in the times of what it looked
like in the Act Church.
Speaker 10 (47:21):
That's happening now.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
Okay again, I'm sorry that is an awkward face Barbie
where she just always makes the wrong face at the
wrong time.
Speaker 5 (47:34):
Oh oh, it's a yeah, it's it's really painful to watch.
I don't watch many Catherine Craik videos anymore. I just
I just can't get through them. I just can't get
through them. But yeah, back again to this whole idea
of the ax church, and again this idea that you know,
Christians need to be doing miracles, signs, wonders because that
is what's going to happen at the end time revival. Folks.
(47:56):
We've got the Bible saying something I think different than
what these guys are saying.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
And we have to get that revival for the Lord
to come back. And in another clip, Catherine Creek does
mention that includes you have to have profits and apostles.
You have to be doing this and doing that and
doing the other, so your church government is there. Otherwise
it's nothing's going to work. It's not going to happen.
Speaker 5 (48:21):
Yeah. So there are passages of scripture that these guys
use to try to claim that the Bible does talk
about it in time, the great in time harvest, a
great in time revival. Now they again are relying not
just on scripture but extra biblical prophecy from people like
(48:47):
Bob Jones and Well Smith Wigglesworth and others who have
prophesied that this great in time harvest is going to
take place. And we're not even Look, I'm not even
talking here about post millennialism or anything like that. I'm
talking about the charismatic view of this. This this whole
idea of of the the great in time revival, which
(49:09):
involves by the way, the great wealth transfer. There there's
a ton of stuff that we could we could wrap
around this great great revival. I'm gonna be doing a
video hopefully, uh next week with Jake Elliott, and we're
gonna be talking about dominionism. So all of this stuff
is encompassed and you know, into into one big giant
(49:29):
teaching uh that really falls under the umbrella of dominionism.
Taking this this idea of of of taking you know,
control of the of the earth with the Christians. He
can control the earth with the seven Mountains of Mandate
and all that stuff. So it all falls in together.
Speaker 16 (49:48):
But they have passages of scriptures still that they try
to use to say that the Bible does talk about
a great in time revive.
Speaker 1 (49:56):
They you and and we wanted to go over some
of them. This is not an exhaustive list, picked out
their primary verses. Of course. Number one is Joel two
twenty eight and twenty nine. And it shall come to
pass afterward that I will pour out my spirit on
all flesh. Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your
old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall
(50:17):
see visions, even on the male and female servants. In
those days, I will pour out my spirit.
Speaker 5 (50:24):
And that actually was fulfilled. It was fulfilled. And Acts
chapter two.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
Okay, so we're going to read that Acts two seventeen
through twenty one. And in the last days it shall
be God declares that I will pour out my spirit
on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions, and your old
men shall dream dreams, even on my male servants and
female servants. In those days, I will pour out my spirit,
(50:51):
and they shall prophesy, and I will show wonders in
the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood
and fire and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be
turned to darkness and the moon to blood. Before the
day of the Lord comes the great and magnificent day,
and it shall come to pass that everyone who calls
(51:12):
upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Speaker 5 (51:15):
So Peter's just talking about that what was going on
in Pentecost being the fulfillment of what Robin just read
in Acts chapter.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
Two, right, So they also use Matthew twenty four fourteen.
And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout
the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and
then the end will come.
Speaker 5 (51:40):
So we're talking here about the proclamation of the gospel.
This is not talking about an end time harvest or
an end time revival. Jesus just says that the Gospel
of the king will be proclaimed throughout the whole world.
And isn't that what's going on right now? I mean,
and it's been going on since Christ right ascended. I
mean Peter's first proclamation of the Gospel actually two where
(52:01):
three thousand came and were added to the church that day.
And I mean, look modern day, how many people are
being reached all around the world with a YouTube video
that proclaims the gospel. So, I mean, this does not
this does not have anything to do with an end
time harvest.
Speaker 1 (52:21):
So in Revelation seven nine and ten, after this, I
looked and behold a great multitude that no one could number,
from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages,
standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in
white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying
out with a loud voice. Salvation belongs to our God,
(52:43):
who sits on the throne and to the Lamb.
Speaker 5 (52:46):
So this is the crowd that is in heaven. This
is not this gathering of these people in a great.
Speaker 1 (52:51):
Revival right and John fourteen twelve. Truly, truly, I say
to you, whoever believes in me will also do the
works that I do, And greater works than these will
he do, because I'm going to the Father.
Speaker 5 (53:05):
I did the video again. I mentioned that again the
video that I did with Chris last week, and he
explained it. And I'll just give a brief overview of that.
The word works there as the Greek word aragon. It
is not the Greek word for signs. That's how many
in the charismatic movement interpret this passage to mean miracles.
Jesus is speaking of works, which is the word aragon,
(53:28):
which means deeds or actions, And we see that fulfilled
in Acts chapter two at Peter's preaching, and three thousand
were added to the church. How many people were left?
How many Christians were left at the end of jesus
ministry one hundred and twenty, one hundred and twenty. How
many people were added to the church in Acts chapter
(53:50):
two at Peter's preaching, three thousand?
Speaker 16 (53:52):
Right there.
Speaker 5 (53:52):
He had done greater works already, and we're seeing that
on and on.
Speaker 1 (53:58):
Yes, and Danny, how how could you do a greater
work than Jesus? If a work was a sign or
a miracle, and he raised people from the dead, and
he raised himself from the dead.
Speaker 5 (54:09):
That's the greatest miracle of all. How are you going
to top the resurrection? On top of that? You don't
see these guys common storms. You see kat care out
there screaming and hurricanes and stuff, but you don't see
it actually taking place. Jesus just spoke. You didn't see
Paul calm a storm. And in Acts chapter twenty seven,
when he was on the sea, he didn't command and
(54:30):
demand the waves to stop. Nope, he was shipwrecked on
the island of Malta and that's because Paul did not
have the power to command the storms to stop. So
Jesus or Jesus is not talking about the miracles. He's
talking about his works, the preaching of the Gospel, and
the reaching of people for his name throughout all generations.
Speaker 1 (54:56):
Yes, very good. So Danny, now we have gathered up
some verses that show how really the Bible points towards
something else during the time.
Speaker 5 (55:08):
Yeah, it points towards a great apostasy, a great apostasy,
a falling away from the faith. And when we say
a apostasy, I'm not talking about just just these pastors
that you know, deconstruct their faith. Oh, I was once
a Christian and now I'm no longer a Christian anymore.
(55:28):
I'm not talking about just that. We're talking about this,
the the the the the false doctrine, false prophets, false
teachers that have infiltrated the church and have just.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
Run a mock the people who will stand before the
Lord and say, Lord, didn't we perform signs and wonders
in your names? In your name?
Speaker 5 (55:49):
Yep? So we have a lot of you know, the Bible,
the Bible really really leans more towards that than it
does this great end time revival.
Speaker 1 (55:59):
Sure so well, let's start with Matthew twenty four three
through fourteen. As he sat on the Mount of Olives,
the disciples came to him privately, saying, tell us, when
will these things be? And what will be the sign
of your coming and of the end of the age.
And Jesus answered them, See that no one leads you astray,
for many will come in my name saying I am
(56:20):
the Christ. And they will lead many astray. And you
will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that
you are not alarmed, for this must take place. But
the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and
earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning
(56:40):
of the birth pains. Then they will deliver you up
to tribulation and put you to death, and you will
be hated by all nations for my name's sake. And
then many will fall away and betray one another and
hate one another, and many false prophets will arise and
lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the
(57:02):
love of many will grow cold. But the one who
endures to the end will be saved, and this Gospel
of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world
as a testimony to all nations, and then the end
will come.
Speaker 5 (57:17):
This does not look like there's going to be this
great worldwide revival and billion soul harvests that's going to
bring in this army of youth that's going to go
out and just have superpowers and do all kinds of
wonderful things for the Lord.
Speaker 1 (57:34):
Right. And in that passage, Jesus continues in verses twenty
two through twenty six, and if those days had not
been cut short, no human being would be saved. But
for the sake of the elect those days will be
cut short. Then if anyone says to you, look, here's
the Christ, or there he is, do not believe it,
for false Christs and false prophets will arise and perform
(57:56):
great signs and wonders so as to lead astray, if possible,
even the elect. See. I have told you beforehand. So
if they say to you, look he is in the wilderness,
do not go out. If they say look he is
in the inner rooms, do not believe it.
Speaker 5 (58:14):
Perilous times are coming, and this is really they're already here.
And when you're looking at the end times, Jesus is
very explicit. He tells you right there, this is what's
going to happen when the end, uh, you know, in
the in the time of the end.
Speaker 1 (58:33):
And it should really make us mistrust any sign and
want to Yeah, we see.
Speaker 5 (58:39):
Especially those who claim to be prophets, because many false
prophets are going to arise. Folks, you cannot be sure
of if somebody, well, let me just put it like this,
somebody who says I am the Lord told me or
the Lord spoke to me. Always always always question that,
always question that, because the only thing, the only way
(59:03):
you can know for sure that God is speaking is
through his word through scripture.
Speaker 1 (59:09):
Very good. Second, Thessalonians two three and four, Let no
one deceive you in any way, for that day will
not come unless the rebellion comes first, and the man
of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes
and exalts himself against every so called God or object
of worship, so that he takes his seat in the
(59:32):
Temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
Speaker 5 (59:35):
So we see that there's got to be a great
rebellion that comes. Doesn't look like there's you know, revival here.
It's a rebellion that's expected.
Speaker 1 (59:48):
And two Timothy four, three and four for the time
is coming when people will not endure sound teaching but
have itching ears. They will accumulate for themselves teachers to
suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening
to the truth and wander off into myths.
Speaker 5 (01:00:04):
Doesn't that sound like what's going on right now? That's
what it sounds like to me, especially when you have
teachers that are so such enemies of the Bible and
they say they're not. But when you elevate personal prophecy
over scripture, you can't tell me that you love the Bible.
(01:00:27):
And that's what's going on right now. That's what we see.
We see people accumulating. I mean, think of the accumulating teachers.
They're all over the place. They have run among these
false teachers into the church, and they've accumulated teachers for
themselves that will suit their own passions. I think of
the prosperity Gospel, Word of faith, all of that stuff,
(01:00:48):
and it all blends into the new Apostolic Reformation teaching.
All of this it just, like I said.
Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
Very attractive teaching. Yeah, and Danny tewod Peter two one
through three. But false prophets also arose among the people,
just as there will be false teachers among you, who
will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master
who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many
will follow their sensuality, and because of them, the way
(01:01:20):
of truth will be blasphemed, and in their greed, they
will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long
ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
Speaker 5 (01:01:32):
I'm looking at our notes, and we have several passages
we could continue to read, but you get the point.
It seems that the Bible has more of the theme
of a great falling away or an end time's apostasy,
rather than a great revival.
Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
Yeah. And I'm thinking, Danny, isn't it so much more
important to live out the gospel and be able to
share the Gospel with your neighbors, with your coworkers than
it is to heal someone in Walmart.
Speaker 5 (01:02:08):
Yeah. This is a big distraction, folks, And that's what
this is doing. This is distracting people, taking their eyes
off of Christ and him crucified and buried and rose
again for you. Christ bled and died for you and
has forgiven your sins. That's the focus. But that's not
what these people are preaching. They're preaching all about signs
(01:02:29):
and wonders and miracles. That's their main focus, not Christ.
So that's what the focus needs to be on. I
hope this video is helpful. Folks. Lord willin We'll see
you next week.
