Being Saved is not the Same as Being Ready (42 min)

Jesus told saved people to be ready.  Being saved is not the same as being ready.  Your experience of the return of Jesus will actually depend on how ready you are, not whether or not you are saved and said the prayer.  This parable describes two different kinds of saved people:Matthew 24:44-51  Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.  45  "Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?  46  Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.  47  Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods.  48  But if that evil servant says in his heart, 'My master is delaying his coming,'  49  and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards,  50  the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of,  51  and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.so does this one...and there are many others like it:Matthew 25:1-12  "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.  2  Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish.  3  Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them,  4  but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.  5  But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.  6  "And at midnight a cry was heard: 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!'  7  Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.  8  And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'  9  But the wise answered, saying, 'No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'  10  And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.  11  "Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!'  12  But he answered and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.'

The 10 Horns/Toes of Daniel and Revelation Explained (41 min)

An explanation of how the 10 horns in Daniel 7, the 10 Toes in Daniel 2, the 10 kings in Revelation 17 are related to the end time antichrist coalition and how the breakup of that fragile coalition leads to the Great Tribulation and the world war that marks its beginning.

The Unified Political Stance of the End Time Church (11 min 42 sec)

An excerpt from a much longer teaching that can be found as "Week 22" of the Revelation Intensive.  This excerpt concisely describes the political agenda of the end time Bride as she unites around the political expression of the return of Jesus.Many mistakenly think we need to "turn America back."  This is unBiblical:
Ecclesiastes 7:10  Don't long for "the good old days." This is not wise.
 
 
The Bible is telling a story with a conclusion.  The Church is going somewhere.  To want to go backward to a better time in our history is to resist what God is doing in this hour.  Forward is the only way.  The Spirit and the Bride say "come"...not "come later."  The breakdown of the political power structures in the earth are all pointing to one absolute truth:  Jesus is the only one worthy to lead a global government and distribute the resources rightly.  The One who had all the wealth....who by all things were created....the one who voluntarily laid down divine privilege to be born in a feed trough...this is the one who has PROVEN His ability to redistribute the wealth of the nations...Revelation 5:4-13  So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it.  5  But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals."  6  And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.  7  Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.  8  Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.  9  And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,  10  And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth."  11  Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,  12  saying with a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!"  13  And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: "Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!"
 

The Increase of Division in the Church (39 min)

There are many promised aspects to the end time tribulation.  Primary are deception, false teaching, and the division that will create.  It is very important to understand why the Lord allows this, and what it will produce in those loyal to him AND those who are lawless.  If you won't stand now, as the Church divides, you won't stand later, as the world divides...intensity is increasing until the Lord returns.John 16:1-3  "I have told you these things so that you won't abandon your faith.  2  For you will be expelled from the synagogues, and the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing a holy service for God.  3  This is because they have never known the Father or Me.

Kalamazoo Earthquake: The Invitation of the Birth Pangs (May 3,2015)

Earthquakes, Babylon, and the Leadership of God (37 min)

Joel 2:10-12  The earth quakes before them, The heavens tremble; The sun and moon grow dark, And the stars diminish their brightness.  11  The LORD gives voice before His army, For His camp is very great; For strong is the One who executes His word. For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; Who can endure it?  12  "Now, therefore," says the LORD, "Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning."I mistakenly refer to the Gospel of Luke as the place where an open heaven is described at the crucifixion...I should have said "Matthew"...here is the passage:Matthew 27:50-55  And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.  51  Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,  52  and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;  53  and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.  54  So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God!"  55  And many women who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar,

The Moment Everything Will Change (42 min)

There is coming a moment when
everything will change. There is coming a moment when life will not look the
same. In an instant, life as we know it is going to change....and the change
will be permanent... forever!
 This moment of existential change is
described in numerous ways in the Bible...both positive and negative.  Once you learn where it falls and how it
comes, it will change your entire understanding of the time you live in.  BUT, you really have to choose to see and
understand it for yourself. 
This is the moment that will change
everything on the planet...and it will never go back to what you now consider
"normal":
Matthew 25:6-7 “And at midnight a cry
was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’  Then all those virgins arose and trimmed
their lamps.

It will always take faith to see Jesus' return unfolding (32 min)

Many in the church, and then in the world, will completely miss the fact they are in the end times.  This is one of the main factors that will contribute to the promised falling away: offense from mistaken expectations.There are many false prophets prophesying peace and safety all the while sudden destruction is coming at them like a freight train.This message is about why this will happen and how to protect yourself from it.There will never be enough signs to convince those who try to explain away the end time trouble...BUT, for those willing to humble themselves and simply try to see, they WILL see the entire process unfold.  Everyone gets what they want!Matthew 16:1-4  Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven.  2  He answered and said to them, "When it is evening you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red';  3  and in the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.  4  A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah." And He left them and departed.Adulterous generation is a direct reference to the Harlot Babylon.  What is the sign Jonah got?  Three and a half days of really intense trouble designed to make Him cry out.You can do the end times the easy way...in faith...responding in obedience in advance.  Or the hard way...letting God teach using YOU as the example.  He loves us too much to not let us see, one way or the other...
