Prophetic Alert!

All right, everybody. It's Tuesday. It's time for this prophetic alert. I want you to come in and I want you to share this with others and let them know that we're live. Finally, we're live. And I'm so glad to be back.

I have been away, uh, after Mantle. I went away, uh, as I always do. It's always pre-planned, uh, and I always, uh, tend to either go out of the country or just take a bit of a break. And so I've been traveling and, uh, but I'm excited to get back on here with you and I'm excited to, uh, just share several things that the Lord has been dealing with me.

Uh, it's always imperative that you, you get time to just be in the presence of the Lord, that you get time to just sit and to be still, and you get time away from, uh, everything, especially after you've done some of the things that we've done. And I see so many of you coming on. So, uh, go ahead and share this with others. I've got a lot to share with you and I'm going to try to do this in a short period of time.

And there's been so much, so much noise around, uh, Mantle and all the things that happened, uh, that the Lord did. I'm going to address those things in just a moment. And then there is so much that's been going on in the world. And even though I've only been away for a short period of time, uh, it felt like for me maybe, uh, several weeks, uh, all crammed into that short period of time, just because of all of the things that are going on in our world. And we need to talk about it because we're literally seeing, uh, so much prophecy unfold, so much prophecy being fulfilled, and so many things that the Lord is doing.

And yes, we also do see the enemy revving up his attack against the church, his attack against true, uh, leaders and fivefold ministers, his attack against the body of Christ. And it is for several reasons. And I want to get into that today. I want to, I want to take just the next few minutes and unpack what God has been saying to me. And I want to also bring you, uh, some, uh, major announcement that I want to give in just a moment. But let's do this. Let's pray and let's jump right in.

Father, we thank you for this day. We thank you for another opportunity to come before you, Father, and to hear your words, what you desire to say directly to the lives of your people. Father, we're asking that you would speak, and you alone. We only want to hear and to receive from your voice, Holy Spirit. So, I pray that you would give us direction, give us insight. Father, give us clarity. Give us your mind, your will, and your word in Jesus name. Amen.

Listen, I know I'm on here so much later than what I intended to be due to a lot of travel that's going on for me, but I'm back in the United States and I'm glad to be back. And I want to just check in with you guys and let you know, uh, just what the Lord has been sharing with me. And then I also want to do a quick recap on, uh, Mantle. So you guys know the Lord moved in such a powerful way, uh, in, uh, the previous week as we were there at the KIA Center Arena, and there are people posting testimonies right now of the healings that took place. Our office has been flooded. We, we're back in the office. I had to give my staff a week off. So please forgive us for those of you that have called and you've messaged and you said nobody's gotten to you. Please understand that what you see us do, even on, uh, what looks like on a global scale or this huge thing, I have a handful of staff, only a handful of staff. You're talking about the Lord using the lesser in order to make a great impact. And it's a testimony to God. And we're, we're always, every, uh, year in shock at how God did it and how could he do it through us because we're a very, very small team. We're not this huge. I'm not backed by a denomination. Uh, I'm not backed by any corporate donors or sponsors. There, there are no big groups.

Is, is the, it's the reason why so many people have been up in arms, uh, over us because people have wondered, how did you do this? And where did you come from? Where did you get, who gave you the right to step in and to do it? And then how did you do it without, uh, going through the church system to get it done? Who, where did, where did you come from? And these are the questions I get everywhere I go, uh, from people that are well-known to people that, uh, no one knows, and everybody's asking the same question. And I tell everybody the same thing. I do not lie to you. I tell you the same thing that I don't have a good enough marketing team. There is no marketing firm. There is no, we're going to do this comprehensive campaign. There is no, I'm meeting with, you know, these big organizations to determine how do we, you know, contact the people and do it like this. We, I don't have that. I've never had that and I don't want that. Uh, I'll tell you what I tell everybody. It has only been the hand of the Lord. It has only been the power of the Holy Spirit operating in and through us.

And the Lord gave me a vision of these things many years ago. I was just a young kid when the Lord began to call me apart out of and away from, uh, all of the things that I was doing. And the Lord called me, uh, in very early on. And as a young kid, I saw these stadiums and these arenas and I would have these visions of preaching in these places and I thought I was crazy. I'll be honest with you. And then the Lord sent many prophets to come. And these are prophets, some that knew our family, some that didn't. And they would release the word of the Lord concerning these things when I was eight years old, 12 years old, uh, on through my teenage years when these things was like impossible. Why would I even want to do that? And the Lord was giving me these kinds of words when I didn't want anything to do with ministry. So, you have to understand that God plays the long game. He will, he will prepare you even when you don't know that you're being prepared. And so it's only been the hand of the Lord. It's no, uh, marketing. It's no, it's nothing but God saying, "Do this," and then he sends the people to do it.

And so this year for Mantle, just before I go into Matthew chapter 24, which is where I really want to be, and then I'm also going to be in John chapter 16, and we're going to look at these two verses, but I want to give you this quick recap before I get into it. So this year for Mantle, of course, you know, we had 23,000 registrants, uh, and it was crazy, amazing. The Lord showed up, uh, in such a, a powerful way. Uh, we have testimonies of, we did street ministry before we went in. Uh, and we also did, uh, we served in shelters. We have something called Mantle Missions where if we're going into a city, before we go into the four walls to preach and do all of those things, the Lord put it so heavy in my spirit that you can't just be having church and, and you did not impact your community and the people that are around you. And so we were able to feed, uh, around 800 people, uh, in and through various shelters and organizations, uh, in the city just a couple days before we went in. And then we did street ministry and prayed for people and did prayer walks, and God gets all the glory. We have testimonies of salvations. We have testimonies of people that, uh, gave their hearts to the Lord, people that recommitted themselves to the Father. We have testimonies of deliverance and healing, and God gets all the glory for it.

So, not only were we able to do that, we, our team assembled care packages for the unhoused. So, people that are homeless that are in the city that we're going to minister to. And we didn't just bring them prayer. And we didn't just say, "Hey, well, we got a scripture for you." We literally went and bought up, uh, again, funded by our ministry. We went and bought up, uh, all of the, the essentials and necessities that people need and we packaged them together and teams went out, uh, literally just into the streets and gave them away to the people that were there because we really want to be a model being the hands and feet of Jesus in the earth. And it makes no sense that we only preach to your spirit and then leave you, uh, in play in a place where you are in need. And if the church can come together in this way, I believe that we can then help so many people.

And then of course, you know, God moved in a powerful way during the, uh, the event, during the gathering. Our ministry was able to sponsor 7,000 people. 7,000 people. Our ministry was able to, uh, pay their way in and to sponsor them. Whenever you do these kinds, and God gets all the glory. Whenever you do these kinds of events, normally we don't announce it or broadcast it or, or let it be known, but when you do these kinds of events, uh, at these arenas, you have to work with Ticketmaster and, uh, some people, you know, they have so much criticism and things to say about these events, but until you rent out an arena and until you go and work with the staff at an arena and until you go and negotiate with Ticketmaster and deal with all of their red tape and the legal issues surrounding, then you probably should just shut up because if you don't know and if you've never done it, you don't know what they require. And so the requirement, and I'll fill you in for the people that don't know, is the requirement is you have to work with Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster does not allow you to rent out these arenas without paying them for every single person that comes in that room. And if you see, uh, us doing it for free, anybody doing it for free, I have gone to arenas and said, "I want to do it for free and I don't want anything paid," and they look at me and say, "We do not allow that." So it depends on the arena and what they will allow you to do and what they won't allow you to do. My demon is probably praying for me right now because he said, "You just told the critics to shut up." I did. I, I did. And I'm going to tell you again because until you rent out an arena and until you go in and, and fill that arena and negotiate with Ticketmaster, you have no idea what the expenses are. And I'll give you just a little bit of insight into those expenses. When we do this, uh, we have to negotiate. They expect payment for every seat. Uh, and they have their own agreements. And I'll make sure I, I won't look at the comments because I know it's going to get a little spicy today. So, I'm not going to look at the comments, but, um, they, they have their own agreements with Ticketmaster. And when they have their agreements, you have to abide by the agreements that they have. And so, when I said, "Listen, we want to bring in people who, uh, maybe they can't afford to pay Ticketmaster. This is something that they can't do. We need to be able to pay it." Even when you do that, uh, there's so much red tape and legal things surrounding that where you have to get their approval to even do that. And so, uh, it was a thing, but we were able to sponsor 7,000 people that came into that arena. Now, of course, there were thousands more, but 7,000 came in and they were paid for and sponsored because of what we negotiated and we were able to then pay for them.

And then, uh, in the midst of that, you saw God move in that amazing way, uh, where there were so many people that were, um, you know, getting ready to be evicted and the Lord gave me a word of knowledge about it to call it out. And so many people were getting ready to be evicted and it was so many that were there. And, uh, the Lord had us to come together and to then pay for, uh, those, uh, people that were going to be evicted and going to be put out of their homes. And God gets all the glory for it. That eviction notices were stopped, that people were able to get, you know, basic necessities that were met because the church came together in the powerful way that we did.

And then you saw us, and I'm getting to the scripture, but I'm giving you a recap. And then you saw us, uh, get to, uh, I think it was Friday night. I normally do this on Saturday. And on Friday night, you saw us come together. And, uh, you heard me then say, "Hey, the Lord, I believe, wants us to bring these events into other states and into other places." And because he wants us to do this, we have no backers. We have no, uh, no sponsors. There are no corporate sponsors. There's none of that. And so, as I begin to share this, I, uh, put it out there, of course, to everybody that was there, if you want to donate to this, that was spiritually an offering, seeds being sown, but it was fundraising. And so, uh, I believe that the church can't be afraid of fundraising when we're doing good and when we can be trusted with the funds to make sure that they go exactly to where they're going. And so, that's exactly what, uh, the Lord put on my heart to do and to bring it to the people. Let me tell you just how amazing it was. There were people when you heard me saying, I know there were big amounts in fundraising and you heard me sharing, "Hey, some of you may have come and you want to give a 10K seat into the next venue and it's going straight to them." I know sometimes the world gets up in arms about that, but you see other charities do it. You see other organizations do it and nobody gets bent out of shape. We're not promising you a house or car. We're not promising you that God's going to just, uh, make you a millionaire because you help fund that. But what I am going to do is any person that gives a dollar, a dime, uh, a, a 10K, a $5, doesn't matter how small or great it is. Any person, especially those that are saying, and it's normally only a handful of people. It's normally literally, when I say a handful, you're dealing with about, uh, somewhere between 20 to 50 people that actually come together to help pay for these venues like that. And those people come ready. They know their assignment. Uh, many of them come to me privately and they say, "Hey, uh, I'm coming privately because the Lord sent me in to do this." And there were donors like that that came with cashier checks and, and directly it goes to the venue, uh, that we're about to go to and they're helping to fund the move of God. And honestly, I know that we have a lot of insecure people. I know there's a lot of jealous people. I know there's a lot of people that wish that they were doing something. But to be honest, I wouldn't wish for anything that wasn't my assignment. And, and I didn't even want to do what I'm doing now because of the warfare and all of the stuff that came with it. But I know we have a lot of insecure people, uh, around us and in our communities. But what we should be doing is being so excited that there are people who are anointed to fund the moves of God. They're just anointed to do that. That's what they're called to do. Nobody forces them. Nobody makes them. Nobody says, "Well, I felt like you did this." But if they come to donate in any way, I'm going to pray to the best of, of whatever God has put in me to pray heaven down, uh, over their lives because they're sacrificing to a degree that many people do not understand. And I'm going to stand in the gap and believe God for their breakthrough. I'm going to stand in the gap and believe, and we know the word is true that God will allow whatever you have sown, whether it's your time, your energy, your effort, whatever it is, it's going to come back to you. Bible says, "Be not deceived, God is not mocked. Whatsoever man sows, that shall he also reap." That is not just in finances, that's in time, that's in effort, that's in all of those areas. And people came together to do that.

And I have a report for you today. I'm announcing that, uh, Mantle 2.0. We're getting ready to run it back and we're coming to New York City. If you're on here and you're watching me, I want to announce to you that those that came together and they sowed. You heard me announce it. Critics attacked it because people in the kingdom said, "We want to give to it." And I'm being a good steward over the funds that they've sent and we've given them directly to the venue that we're getting ready to announce pretty soon. And so that venue is being locked in now. And we're coming to Brooklyn, New York. We are coming to Brooklyn, New York. And it's only in just a short period of days. It's going to be September 11th and 12th in Brooklyn, New York. September 11th and 12th. And that venue, uh, is, uh, at least a half a million or more, just for that venue alone. And thank you to those donors that came together and you gave the seeds to help fund that for the move of God so that people could come in. And of course, there's more expenses, but our ministry is going to underwrite that and I'm going to help underwrite that. And so for those of you that want that information, uh, you're going to see it on mantle.org and it's there now. Just showing you September 11 to 12. The location is, uh, getting ready to be announced, uh, very, very, very soon. Uh, we're letting the ink dry, uh, on the location, but it's getting ready to be announced very soon. If you want to be a part of that, go to mantle.org or right now and make sure you get in, uh, because it's, it's going to be limited in the way that we're doing it. But I'm telling you, God's getting ready to move and we're about to run it back. Brooklyn, New York, we're coming and I'm going to be announcing the, uh, the venue really, really soon. So, I don't want you to miss it. That's September the 11th and the 12th.

Let me tell you the significance about this. We were praying and we, our team came together. We were praying and asking the Lord, "Okay, what do you want us to do? How do you want us to do it?" And the Lord said to me, because of all of the, uh, uh, the, the turmoil that's going on in the world and because of the, the tumultuous events that are happening, that the Lord wants intercessors. He wants key people that are in place and they need to be on the ground in New York, September the 11th and the 12th. It's significant. We're dealing with right now, crazy terror, uh, uh, threats. We're dealing with the war in Iran. We're dealing with all of the things that are going on. And America, uh, really is in one of the most vulnerable states that we have ever been in. And we, as the church, we, as the kingdom of God, cannot be afraid. We can't be, uh, uh, at a place where we draw back. We, at times, are the salt of the earth. We have to go in and we have to put salt on the wounds of a nation. And so the Lord is sending us there. Yes. For revival. And, and this is called Mantle, Fire, and Glory. It is Mantle, Fire, and Glory. September the 11th and 12th. You need to go to mantle.org. See, uh, just the preliminary information that's there. Make sure you get in to get a seat, uh, in Brooklyn, New York. The venue is going to come pretty soon. We're getting ready to announce it. Uh, but I want to make sure that you're in. And the Lord put this on my spirit. You need to go in at that time.

And then when we were working with the venue, it was one of the only times they had available. And I was like, "Well, God, you know, could I get more time to do it? If you just give me an extra month, then we can take a break and then we can kind of go in." And when the Lord says do it, you got to go when the Lord tells you to go. You have to move when he's telling you to move to do it. And so, a lot of these things that you're saying, it's not something that I've set and said, "Oh, I think I want to do this at this time." The Lord has need of us. Not only that, September the 11th and 12th is the Hebrew New Year. It is the year that it is the time where we celebrate the new year before the world celebrates the new year. And so, can you, can you sense already the prophetic significance of us gathering in New York on September the 11th and 12th? It's just a two-day pop-up, but gathering there at the changeover of the spiritual year. It is the changeover of the Hebrew year, and we're gathering just to hear what the Lord wants to say and to release that out into the people. I know that many people don't understand it and it's not for everybody, but for those that feel that Clarion call, I need you to get there and go to mantle.org. If it's not, uh, if you can't get it on one desktop, try it on your mobile or, or whatever it is that you need to do to make sure that you get there and that you're in the place. We're making the tickets as low as possible, as low as we can. It is not a money grab. It's not that kind of thing for us. It's an assignment. I don't make money from doing conferences. We, we actually spend more money and give more money from doing events. And if there are people doing events, uh, at a huge level and you're making, uh, like, whatever money off of it, please let me know how you're doing it because for us, it is an assignment and it actually takes more resources from us and it takes more time from us and it takes more for us to do it in the way that the Lord tells us to do it. And for those of you that it is for, you'll feel the weight of that assignment. So listen, if you feel that you need to fly in to get there, I need you to to make plans now to get to Brooklyn, New York. If you feel that you need to in any of the boroughs in New York to get there, get there. If you're coming from New Jersey, that's a drive. If you're coming from Philly, that's a drive. Wherever you're coming from, uh, surrounding states, Connecticut is right there. I need you to get there September 11th and 12th and let's hear what the Lord wants to say to us and let's make sure, uh, that we are a part of the move of God that the Lord is doing right now. And the move of God is everywhere. Now, God has people everywhere. Whether it's in a storefront church, whether it's in an arena, and I'm telling you this, I know sometimes when you hear of arena events, and again, I know there are a lot of insecure people, unfortunately, and we got to come up out of that, especially in our community. We really have to come up out of that. People are more harsh, uh, on those of us that are doing this. I don't really pay attention to, uh, the, uh, the talk and the chatter because when the Lord gives you an assignment, it's your assignment. And my assignment is my assignment whether people like it or agree with it or not. And I would rather please God and answer to him than to answer to critics and how people think that I should do it or how I shouldn't do it and the way it should be done. And my only, uh, you know, response to that is when you do it, do it the way that you're telling me to do it. When you go and you get the place or the venue or the arena or whatever the Lord is going to have you to do it, if that's what he's called you to do, when you do it, do it the way that you're instructing me. But for people that have never run anything and have never, uh, ever managed anything and have never stewarded anything and the Lord's, if he's never trusted you with even, uh, a, a small work, then how do we think that we're going to instruct those, uh, that are, are doing something that God has given them to do? And so we have to be very cautious that, uh, we're, we're not putting ourselves in a place that, uh, we've not had any experience. We have no kind of, uh, when I tell you no experience, the loudest people are the ones who have absolutely no experience doing any of it. And, uh, the minute that you do, then let's have, let's have us a conversation and, and then we'll, we'll talk about it if you have one of my three phone numbers. Uh, so again, now let's go. I want to jump into this because let's go to, uh, Matthew chapter 24. Matthew chapter 24 is going to get us. I know I'm being comical. I know my team is probably like going in right [clears throat] now, but Matthew chapter 24, let's go here. And, uh, and God gets all the glory for everything that he is saying and everything he's doing. I'm being comical with it because, you know, it's just one of those things sometimes that you, you laugh at and you just move on. All right, let's go to Matthew chapter 24. Matthew chapter 24 tells us where we are right now. And, uh, where we are literally on the timeline of God is in this, this chapter. And I know that there are times where, uh, we have to, uh, we come back to this chapter. We keep coming back to this, uh, passage and we come back over and over again. And the Lord brings us back to, to this passage because, uh, it, it is unfolding and there's so much to the word of the Lord. There's so much to it that we, we, I think need to unpack and we need to just sit in. We need to really just sit in. So, let's go to Matthew chapter 24.

And it tells us what's happening around us. We've seen within the news and it's all over. We know that the fires, uh, came from Canada and begin to spread all kinds of, uh, debris and smog throughout the US. And it's caused many, many issues. And so, uh, that had been prophesied by several of us prophets that gave those prophetic words that this is what was going to come. This is what was going to happen. Not only that, we're seeing multiple viruses and pathogens that have been released. Uh, many of you that have followed the ministry, you've seen me sit here on Mondays typically and share the word of the Lord with you and you've seen me share concerning these things that the next, uh, big, uh, uh, attack in infirmities would not just be one virus or one disease. It would be multiple. I shared that word many months ago and we're seeing those things happen. And I'm sure many other prophets, as the Lord's been dealing with, have been giving the word of the Lord. Well, can I tell you this that as we come from this time to the end of the year, those things are going to increase. Those things are going to increase. You're getting ready to see more. And the Lord highlights for me, uh, the change of the new year in on the Hebrew calendar. Again, when we get to, uh, September and mid-September, you're going to really begin to see those things begin to shift, uh, in a way where an escalation is coming. And that escalation is going to come even the more because of the birthing pains that are in the earth. And there are many birthing pains. And what you're seeing around you. Yes, there are wicked plots and plans of individuals that desire to cause harm to people. That's going to continue. And yes, some of the things and some of the, uh, uh, calamity that we're seeing in the earth is man-made and it's intentional. It is. And we have to wake up to the understanding of that that we're not fighting against mere flesh and blood, but we are dealing with wickedness in high places. We are dealing with, uh, evil plots and evil plans that have been set up for many, many years. It's not just something that has been come up with now. These are plans that have been in motion for years. And I'm telling you this, uh, that you're going to see those things begin to escalate even the more. And so the earth is in the midst of great birthing pains. The earth is in the midst of great turmoil. And the Bible tells us this that the earth is in travail in Romans chapter 8. The earth is in travail awaiting the manifestation of the sons of God in the earth. The earth is in great travail. And the earth is awaiting for the sons of God to be made manifest. And this is the reason why you're going to continue to see earthquakes in all kinds of places. This is the reason why you're going to continue, uh, to see, uh, all kinds of weather disruptions. In Romans chapter 8, it speaks of this. And you're going to see these kinds of disruptions and weather. You're going to see these kinds of disruptions that are going to come in the ocean and in the sea. We've been seeing flooding in some areas. That's crazy flooding. The Lord gave me that prophetic word just a few weeks ago that when you see the flooding, it is going to be a sign to the church. There's going to be massive flooding that's going to come and it will be a sign to the church. And that sign to us is of the great breaking that's about to hit the earth. There is a breaking and there is a breakthrough. You're going to see that breaking come in mass deliverance and freedom to people. But you're not just going to see it come in mass freedom and deliverance. You're going to see that breaking also begin to come in resources that are going to be released to the right kingdom agents in order to advance the agenda of God within the earth. And I know that whenever we talk about money, and I'm not taking up no offering. Y'all know we don't take up. I don't ask for any money on these lives. We don't do that. But I'm sharing this with you because I want you to understand that the timing that we're in, there are those of you that the Lord has given big vision to, but you need to fund that vision. And the Lord said to me, you're getting ready to see a flood that's about to hit the church. This is going to be a flood, uh, of resources that's going to come. Sometimes resources comes in the form of money, but sometimes it comes in the form of kingdom connections that you might not have it, but you need to know somebody that does. And the person that does is going to be used of God to help open up the door for whatever the vision is that the Lord has placed within your spirit.

And let's go here because I want you to see this. I'm coming back to Matthew chapter 24, but I want you to see this in Romans chapter 8 and, uh, and 18 and 19. And it says, "For I reckon that the suffering of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." And so if you are suffering, that's a part of our Christian faith. That's a part of the assignment. We just need to know how to suffer well. We need to know how to suffer well. It's a part of it. If you're going to do anything for God, if you're going to do any kind of assignment, you need to understand that it is going to come with critique. It's going to come with persecution. It's going to come with a lot of opinions. But we also need to be careful because the Bible tells us that whatever measure we give to someone else, whatever type of criticism we give to someone else, the Bible says it shall be measured back to you. And so you never have to wonder if people have evil motives or ill motives and they're coming against you. The Bible tells us this that it's going to then be measured back to you. So whatever you give out, it's going to be multiplied and it's going to come back to us. And so we have to be then careful what we give out. But suffering and persecution and talk and criticism and chatter is just part for the course. It comes with the territory. And if you want to do anything for the Lord and if you want to be used of God, you need to get ready to be talked about. It just happens. It just happens. It's a part of it. And if you're suffering through whether it's mental, uh, attacks, if you're suffering through whether it's demonic attacks against your life or infirmity against your body, I want to give you this and I know it's easier said than done, but this is what the word tells us to do. Rejoice when you find yourselves in it. Why? Because the present suffering cannot even compare to the glory that's about to be revealed. Here's the key. The Bible says it's going to be revealed in us. There is a coming glory that's going to be revealed in you. There is a coming glory that's going to be revealed in your spirit. There is a coming glory that you're about to see God reveal in and through your life. And this is the reason why you had to go through all the hell that you went through because the Lord said, "In order for you to get to that level of glory, I got to let you go through a level of suffering." And many people want the glory to be revealed, but we don't want to suffer. We don't want to be attacked. We don't want to be talked about. I understand. We don't want, uh, to deal with the warfare. We don't want to deal with all of the, the enemy's resistance against us. We don't want to deal with, uh, even the attacks that are coming that are intrinsic, internal in our own souls. But it is necessary because in order to see glory, you must endure suffering. There is no greater glory without suffering. And so the Bible says, "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of creation. The earth is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God." Do you know that that word manifestation there means, uh, it is the word apocalypse. It is the Greek word apocalypsis. The Greek word apocalypsis is where we get the word apocalypse from. And everybody's, uh, uh, at a time if you were in the church world in the 90s and in the early 2000s, everybody was talking about the apocalypse, the rapture, and the this. Do you understand that there are many apocalypses in scripture? And one of the terms for apocalypse here, uh, in, in, uh, that passage in Romans 8:19 means manifestation. This means literally to appear on the scene. To appear on the scene. When God says that the earth, the whole creation is groaning, is in travail, awaiting the apocalypse, the manifestation of the sons of God in the earth. That's important right there. You have to understand that the, all of the turmoil that's going on around us has everything to do with the body of Christ. It has everything to do with the sons of God in the earth. It has everything to do with God saying that you're getting ready to appear on the scene. This means that God's got people that have been a remnant on the back side of the desert. God has people that have been faithful and they have been unseen. God has people that have been committed to the call of the Lord. They've been committed to worship, committed to obedience of Christ, and, and you've been doing what the Lord has called you to do, but you've been hidden for a time. But when the manifestation comes, the Bible tells us here that it is an apocalypse that comes. And that apocalypse means that there are sons and daughters of God that have been hidden. And all of a sudden, they just appear on the scene. All of a sudden, they're getting ready to just step right on. And this is your time. I know you have heard it. And I know people have said it. And I know you've heard cliches about it. And I know you've heard all kinds of stuff about it. But can I just say this to you? And I want you to take this as your prophetic word for this time and for this season in your life that everything that you have gone through up to this point has been preparing you for the now of God. Has been preparing you for the now season, has been preparing you for this place in your purpose with the Lord. Everything that you have been going through, everything that you endured when you were five years old, when you were just a baby, when you were put into that family situation, when you were put into those conditions, when you had to go through that mental struggle and psychological issues and you, you had to get through it in order to get to this, it's been preparing you for now. It's been preparing you for now. It's been preparing you for this divine moment of singularity. It has been preparing you for this divine moment in your life where the Lord says, "I've got to thrust you into purpose. I've got to now push you into your assignment. We don't have time to wait. We don't have time, uh, to take the next 10 years to try to prepare for what God wants us to do. You don't have time to take the next five years to try to prepare for what God wants you to do." The Lord told me, he put this in my spirit so strong to tell you that the time is now. I need somebody to just type that in the chat. The time is now. It's your time now. It's your time. And I don't mean that in, oh well, it's my time, so I get to go and just relax and lay back. No, no, no. You're enlisted in a war. This is a spiritual battle. You, you got to understand that the world that we are in right now is collapsing. This construct of time is under great turmoil. And there is a lifting and a rising that's beginning to happen where the sons of God, those that are kingdom people that God has put his hands on and anointed, the manifestation of the sons of God, is coming and is coming in the earth right now. Now listen, I want you, I want you to hear this and I want you to take this and I want you to get it in your spirit that it is your time. You don't have the time to wait. You don't have time to waste and you don't have time to wait.

Now, let's go back to this because now I want you to see this and I want you to see this in Matthew chapter 24. I want you to see it in Matthew chapter 24. Uh, let's, let's go here really quick. Matthew chapter 24. My God, I feel the Holy Ghost in this. I feel God moving, uh, in many of you that, that are watching this and many of you that will watch this replay, the Lord's getting ready to cause his word to spring up in your spirit concerning your purpose, concerning your assignment in the earth. And this is why you have to be at a place, and I've been teaching on this and I have to live it. I'm, I'm in the place where I'm living it right now. Uh, I've been teaching on this because the Lord said to me, "Do not count your reputation as something valuable to you. Don't count your reputation as something valuable because there, there many times that we have prided ourselves on what other people think about us. Your reputation is what people think about you. Your character is who you really are. Your reputation is how other people feel about you. And, and when the Lord gives us an assignment, it's easy to do that assignment when everybody likes you. It's easy to do that assignment when everybody, uh, is, is a bandwagon because you know how it is whenever you start doing something and it gets visibility, uh, you get bandwagon that jumps onto that thing because people want to attach to it. They're looking for ways that they can ride off of whatever that movement is or they can ride off of whatever that is. And, and the Lord began to say this to me in the past couple of years and he's made me live it and I'm living it now. And, and the Lord said this to me. He said, "There are many within the body of Christ that have made an idol out of their own reputation. And they will only obey me to the extent that they are liked by people. And the minute they are no longer liked and the minute people feel a certain kind of way about what God told them to do is the minute they then draw a line with their obedience." And so it's not real obedience if it's not full obedience. Let me, let me, let me, let me say this again. Let me tell you that I'm, I'm, I'm going to preach from my life. So it's not real obedience until it's full obedience. And so to say, "Well, I obeyed God in the first half of the year. Then everything that you told me to do in the first half of the year, I did it and it was good and, and everybody in my circle liked it and everybody in my community was okay with it. But then when you enter into the second part of the year, now the Lord tells you to do something that's going to make you look crazy. Now God gives you an assignment that makes you feel uncomfortable. You don't like it. It's not comfortable to your flesh. It doesn't feel good, uh, to, uh, your life. It disrupts your entire life. It disrupts the way that you want to do things. And it changes everything. And then we say, "Well, God, I obeyed you in that, but I'm not going to obey you in this because I, I don't want to be looked at a certain way or I don't want people to attack me or I don't want people to not like me." What the Lord is saying for those of you that are watching is it's not full real obedience until it's full obedience. Until you get to the place where your reputation is no longer an idol to you. Until you get to the place where you stop doing it for the likes and the, uh, the applause and, and the responses and, and the parties and, and everybody's celebrating. We got to get to a place in God where we now do it because it pleases him. We have to do it because it pleases him. And, and we're coming into the moment now where to be honest, fivefold ministry is not popular anymore. It's no longer popular to, to be a prophet. Not if you obey God for real. It's no longer popular to be an evangelist. Nobody. Absolutely nobody wants to be an evangelist because nobody really wants, uh, to do the work. People don't want to go out and do it. It doesn't get the fanfare and the attention. Evangelism doesn't get all of the, uh, the claps and the applause and, and you got to really go in the trenches. If you're going to do that, if you're going to operate in evangelism, you better know how to cast the devil out. And many people don't, don't really want to do that because when we deal with casting out devils and we deal with taking authority over that kind of warfare, you got to get dirty to do that. You got

To get in the trenches. You got to deal with with people's lives for real. If we're going to disciple people, we got to actually deal with their real lives. We can't just get on and have a podcast and say a few words and think that that's discipleship.

Real discipleship is when we're working with people on an everyday basis and we don't broadcast it. Oh God. Real discipleship is when we're working through life's situations and also dealing with our own, but yet we're holding to the standard of the word of God and we're walking through tough situations and people are relapsing and things are happening and we're still there for them and we cannot reject them because we don't like how sin has somehow gotten back in the picture. But we got to still stand in the gap for them and we got to work through with them. That's real discipleship.

And half of the mess that we're doing in the church and we're calling it ministry, but it's really just a glorified podcast. And we're calling it ministry, but it's really just, you know, us getting on live. This ain't real ministry. I'm speaking to you, but this is only a very small portion of ministry. Ministry is what starts when the camera goes off. Ministry is what starts when you don't see me on camera. It's when I'm ministering to people, somebody that I ran into in the grocery store. It's when they stop me on an airplane and they're saying, "Well, I heard this, but I just need a word on this," and you're ministering to them and there's no cameras on and nobody's broadcasting it and nobody. That's real ministry.

Real ministry is when we're willing to go back into the trenches. And some of us, we really need to do our first works over again. Let's just be honest because, see, the way that many of us started out, I started out this way. I started out in street ministry. We didn't get a microphone put in our hands. We didn't get a microphone put in our hands where you just like, "Okay, well, you get up and you do your initial." There were people doing their initial sermons, their first one, and everybody comes in. I never had that. No, nobody ever gave me an initial sermon. There was no big deal made about, "Well, he's getting ready to preach." You want to know why? Because they started us preaching in the streets. And I might have been 12 years old, 14 years old, but we had speakers out literally in the streets. And we go out and we go into neighborhoods where people would let up their window and come out of their apartment buildings to see if you had something to say. And I was literally 14 years old preaching in the streets where they're leaning out the window like, "Well, what, what, what you got to say? You ain't even experienced no life." And what they were listening for is the word of God and they were listening for the anointing. And if they didn't sense it, they would let the window down and they would go right back in the house. But if you were preaching with power and if there was the demonstration of the word of God, they would put their heads out the window. And I was right there in North Carolina in McDougall Terrace. And some of y'all know where that is. And that was like hood hood back in the day. And we would go right into that apartment area. And we would go right and begin to preach the word of God. And as we would preach, people would get saved and delivered. It was so much until years later there were people that came up to me and they said, "I remember you preaching on the street." I said, "How?" They said, "You were young. You were so young, but you were preaching on the street." And something that you said planted a seed in me and I gave my heart to the Lord. And God gets all the glory for it.

But somehow we traded out real ministry for clicks and likes and the most views and who has the most accurate. Can y'all believe that within the church that people are literally fighting over who has the most accurate prophecy? Can y'all believe the fights in the past few years that people are literally fighting over who prophesied it first and who said this or who said that? We should be so about. I listen. Let me tell you, I'm so about this. This is my prayer to be so about my Father's business that literally I don't know what you prophesied. I wasn't there. I didn't listen to it. I didn't have the time to be on your live because I was winning souls. I didn't have the time to get on and listen to five episodes of your podcast because I was trying to be about my Father's business. And there's nothing wrong with listening to podcasts, but please hear me when I say this. We're too much majoring in the minor. We're spending too much time in fleshly stuff and debates and all kinds of things that are going on where the Lord is saying we got to now elevate our sight. We have to elevate our sight to another level. And we have to realize that the things that are happening in the world are about to get worse. And the church must be unified in this season. We have to come together in a spirit of real unity. I'm not talking about with false prophets and false believers, but we have to come together as a remnant in a real spirit of unity, or you're getting ready to see the enemy begin to wear out many of the saints. You're going to see him begin to do it because of the divisiveness and because of the division in the church. And the enemy doesn't really even have to send outside attacks. He uses those within the so-called institution of the church to attack others within the church. And what ends up happening is the church ends up killing itself. Using our voice instead of speaking against evil to speak against our brother and sister. Using our voice instead of speaking against demonic entities and strongholds and wickedness in high places, we're speaking against and comparing against other ministries. And so as long as the church in the West, in America, and even abroad is so tied up in that mess, we're not able to be effective because we're still trying to have the biggest crowd at the event. We're trying to have the biggest. Well, who's? Well, mine was bigger than theirs. Listen, I'm tired of the conversation. And then I'm tired of it. I'm tired of the conversation on, well, did you see what Mantle did versus what AIM did? Did you see what I am so tired of the conversation. I'm tired of the conversation. Well, did you? Well, well, look at Mantle and Mantle had this and and and Full Gospel didn't even have that, or Full Gospel had this and Mantle didn't even have. Aren't y'all tired of the conversation? Can we not just celebrate the fact that God has movements happening all around the nation? Can we not just celebrate the fact that the Lord has raised up different entities and different ministries and different organizations and churches that are winning souls instead of getting to a place where we're trying to compare all the time with who's doing this and who's doing that? You're not going to get me to speak negatively against AIM. It's not going to happen. You're not going to get me to speak negatively against Gospel. It's not going to happen. You're not going to get me to speak negatively against the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. We should be in a place where we are so excited that people are getting the word of God. We should be in a place where we are so excited that souls are being saved. We should be in a place where we are so excited. My God. And if we are not in that place and if we have not gotten to that moment, we're too immature. And hear this word. And some are not going to like it. There are many that are going to miss the move of God sitting right in the church. There are many that are going to miss what God is doing. They're going to be still there with their religious faces on. They're going to be still there singing all the songs, but God is going to be far from them. And it's because of an immature spirit. It's because of a carnal mind that's so carnally minded that they cannot even perceive the moves and the flows of the Holy Spirit, that they cannot even perceive which direction that God is getting ready to go into. And we've got to be the people like the vision that Ezekiel saw when he saw the wheel in the middle of the wheel. Ezekiel chapter 2 tells us this, that that wheel was moving, but whatever the spirit was about to go, the wheels moved in that direction. And that's the way that the Lord said to me, you got to be that grounded in me that you are not where I was. You begin to move in the direction that I'm getting ready to go in. And that's where we have to be. We have to come up out of the carnal mindset. We got to come up out of the carnal talk. We have to come up out of the carnal distractions because things are getting ready to get worse in the earth. And if the church, if the church does not mature and come into a spirit of unity, you're getting ready to see many of the attacks that hit the world are getting ready to hit the church. It's going to breach the church. And the Lord said this to me because the intercessors, instead of them praying, they're too busy debating over who has the latest prayer CD. Instead of them praying, they're too busy debating over who has the best conference and who's in the right, who's getting the spotlight. The prophets, instead of them warning the people and prophesying, have turned on each other and have gotten to a place where instead of us coming together as prophetic companies, because that's what I see in scripture. I don't see lone ranger prophets in scripture. Look at Old Testament and New Testament. You don't see lone ranger prophets outside of Elijah preparing the way for Jesus to come. But when you see the prophets being used of the Holy Spirit, they operated in companies, in groups. You see it in Samuel. You see it where Saul was on the road walking on the way and he encountered a company of prophets who were singing and worshiping together. They were prophesying together. And the Bible says that that same spirit of prophecy came on Saul and he became another man and he began to flow in the prophetic so strongly that they thought he was a prophet. We see it in the New Testament where the prophets and the elders in the book of Acts would come together and they would have councils and they would come together to determine what was going to happen in the church. They would come together to settle issues within the church. They didn't fall out and turn on each other. They came together to settle the issues. They were companies and groups of apostles and prophets and pastors and leaders. They were not out here on some island by themselves. And that's the next wave that you're getting ready to see. The next wave is not. This next revival is not just one man or one woman that's leading the helm. This next revival is not just Mantle or whatever other organization that is leading the helm. It's bigger than your organization. It's bigger. Let's not make idols out of organizations. Let's not make idols. It's idolatry when we say, "Well, I'm of Paul. No, but I'm of Apollos." It doesn't matter because it's all God that's using the people that he's using. One plants the seed. Another comes and waters, but it's God that gives us the increase. And we should be giving all glory to God and not walking around with a trifling spirit, operating in carnality and debating over senseless things. We have to mature and we need to mature quickly because it's coming quickly. What you saw begin to happen with COVID, what you saw happen with the pandemic is nothing in comparison to what's getting ready to hit the face of the earth. The way you saw people begin to drop left and right. Yes, it was man-made. Yes, it came out of a lab. I gave that prophecy in 2015. It went all the way to the White House. I went and did a meeting with people there. And I'm telling you this, they knew the word of the Lord and they didn't stop it. And what I'm telling you is what you saw happen is nothing in comparison to what is planned by wicked agendas within the earth. And you're literally going to have people that are going to. I, it's going to hit them if the church does not come together. It's going to hit and it's even going to breach into those that proclaim to be Christians if the church does not get themselves together. This is a crucial time. I'm releasing this as a warning because this is what the Lord has said to me. This is a crucial time. It is time for us to understand how serious, how serious the season is. That is the only reason. Hear me and hear me clearly. Bloggers, take it. Whoever wants it, take what I'm getting ready to say to you. The only reason I did not ask the Lord to do arenas and to go into stadiums or to go into. I didn't want to do that. It literally cost me millions of dollars. I've had to sell property and possessions. I've had to. People have no idea because they assume that, oh, he's just making money. So you got, you don't know what the sacrifice cost. You don't know and you will never know what it costs because some will never do it. And that's okay. But hear me when I say this. The only reason that the Lord has breathed on us again for arena events is because there is a wind of refreshing and equipping that the body of Christ needs. And this is what the Lord said to me a few years ago when he told me, "I want you to go get that arena and I want you to do it." My team was like, "What?" And I said, "This is what the Lord said to me." But the Lord said to me, it's only for a season and a window. And he said to me, "There will be a time in the future where they will not allow you to gather in that way." He said to me, "There will be a time in the future where you are not allowed to gather by the tens of thousands in that same way because of the restrictions and things that are going to be happening in the earth." And he said, "When I give you the window to do it, do it." So this is why I don't care about what the critics say, and this is why I don't care about what people have to say about it because I understand the assignment that the Lord gave me. And the Lord said to me, "When I tell you to do it, do it. Go with the momentum." I will literally sell everything I have if it is required to see the move of God funded. I have given out many times over and over again. People have no idea and only God gets the glory for it. But I'm telling you this because the only reason why the Lord has breathed again on events that are exploding in the US in arenas and in places that you've been seeing. And it's not just with our ministry. It's with ministries now that are beginning to pop up and do it. And many of them might be watching. And I want you to hear this. The only reason is because of the crucial time that we are in. And the Lord began to say this to me because of the timing. Because of the timing, we literally must prepare and we have to get equipped. And the Lord's calling the body together to infuse us. These gatherings that the Lord's about to breathe on again. It's going to be with ministries that you've never heard of. These gatherings that the Lord is getting ready to breathe on. And it's not even just going to be ministries that are in huge events. These are in literally in storefront churches, in small gatherings, in homes and in dens and in small places. I'm telling you, the Lord says, "I'm going to refresh my church. He said, 'I want to pour out my spirit upon all flesh.'" And this is why prophecy is at the forefront because it is the word of God that your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. You are somebody's son. You're somebody's daughter. Your son and your daughter shall prophesy. The old men are going to dream dreams. The young men are going to see visions. He said, "I'm going to begin to pour out on my handmaidens. I'm going to begin to pour out on everybody." He didn't say just Christians. This is why the work of evangelism is so important. He wants to pour out on everybody. And it's the reason why the Lord is sending many of us in this way. But it's only for a window. And when the window closes, you'll see the judgment of God come upon the nation in a greater way. When the window closes, you'll begin to see even more calamity that will begin to break out. You'll begin to see it happen. When the window closes, you'll begin to see persecution that's going to hit even the church. Yes, even in America and in Europe. You're going to see it happen in the next, even in the next administration, the next presidency. You're going to begin to see it happen. This is what I hear the Lord saying to me. Hear these words. Take these words, but I want you to go to Matthew 24. I've been trying to get here the whole time, and I'm closing with this. My time is up. I have to close with this. And it says this. Jesus went out and departed from the temple. And his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, "See ye not all these things? Verily I say unto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down." And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately. And he says, "Tell us, when shall they said, tell us when shall these things be and what shall be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?" That word there is eon. It is not cosmos. There are two main words for world translated in the King James Bible. One is eon and the other is cosmos. The word cosmos is the world as we know it. What we think of when we say world in the English language. It is the world systems. It is what keeps the world going. That's not what Jesus is addressing here. They asked him, "How will we know when it is the end of the eon?" That can be translated as age. The end of the age. End of a period of time. Some theologians translate it as a period of a thousand years. The end of a thousand-year period. You do understand that the church has gone through and the world has gone through many ages. We've been through the industrial age. We've been in an information age. We have just shifted out of an information age and we've come over into the age of AI or technology. And so here is the word here, eon. And when you look it up in the Greek translation, it means an age. By extension, it means world, as it relates to that age or that period of time. It means course. And so they're asking him here, "When will we know that it's going to be the end of the age or the world?" And it says in verse four, "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you." So here again, he's telling them that at the end of the age is coming a great mass deception. And so he says, "You need to be very careful that no one deceives you." And there's going to be great delusion in the earth, and it's here now. How do we know that we're coming to the end of an age? Because we're seeing deception rampant everywhere. And then we see it here in verse four. He says this, "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ and shall deceive many." Be very careful of that. People who say that they are Christ, people who say that they are of Christ, but yet the fruit shows something very different. It says, "And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars." You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. We're hearing that right now. One minute it's a war, the next minute it's a peace treaty being signed. The next minute it's a war, the next minute they're breaking the peace treaty. When the word of the Lord came to me, I began to share with you that yes, they were going to go and sign a deal, but it was going to be broken and it was not going to be real peace with Iran. And this is what is happening even at this time. It's happening right now. And so there's wars and rumors of wars. It says, "See that you be not troubled." So in the midst of this, trouble is going to ensue. That word troubled there in the Greek means clamor. It means to wail. It means to be frightened. It means to be troubled in your spirit. It says, "Even though you're going to hear these things, do not be troubled." Then it says, "For all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet." So the things that are happening, they have to happen. The things that we see happening in the earth, they're going to have to happen in the earth. You're going to have to see calamity in the earth. It's all a part of biblical prophecy. And it has to come to pass. And he goes further into it in verse 7. Nation is going to rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom. There's going to be famines. You're going to see diseases and pestilences. And there are going to be earthquakes in various places. All these things are the beginning of sorrows. So if somebody tells you that it's not the beginning of sorrows, tell them it is. According to scripture, all of these things we're seeing, wars and rumors of wars, nations against nations, kingdoms turning against kingdoms, famines, pestilences, diseases being widespread. It is the beginning of sorrows. That's what the Bible says.

Now, listen to this. The Lord gave me this prophetic word. I wrote it down in the book. I shared it here with you many times. He said to me that the next battlefront is going to be over water and food. And I wrote a whole chapter on this in my book called "When God Speaks." It's called "Food Wars." And he said this to me, that the next battle, the next warfare is going to be over water and it's going to be over food. He began to have me write this down in a prophetic message there in that book. And I shared it with you many times. He said this to me, that you're going to see contaminated water sources throughout the US and even around the nations. But in the US, he said that there were already cities and states with horrible contaminated water and the people don't know it, but it's going to begin to show up in diseases that are going to come. And food is going to be so contaminated that you're going to get mass recalls back to back to back to back. We've been seeing that happen. It's been going on now for some time, but those things are going to get worse and they're going to escalate. And I want to share with you what you must do. You're going to need to trust God in everything. You have to trust him in everything. And you need to hear him. You need to be able to hear his voice. You need to be able to know what you should eat and what you shouldn't eat. You need to be able to know what you should do. There is no one list for everybody because what works for one may not work for another with where they live. And the produce in one area might be fine, but in another area that produce is contaminated. The water source in one area is fine, but the water source in another city is going to be contaminated. This is why the Lord's not just letting us, he's not letting me give you just one list of just stock on this and have this because let me tell you what, what the enemy's been wanting. Prophets, we are necessary, but you cannot be solely dependent on our voices. Let me, let me, let me park right here for two seconds. Please hear me when I say this. We should not be creating ministries of dependence where I can't do anything unless I hear them. That's not the way this works. And if we're doing that, it is not biblical. And it actually begins to veer off in another spirit. Because what we should be doing is training you to hear God yourself. We should be training you to hear the Lord. We should be telling you to pray about it. We should be telling you and asking you. And my members know, if you're part of the church that I pastor, you already know because they come to me, "Well, should I take this job?" "Did you pray and did you ask the Lord?" "Should I make this decision?" "I'm going to pray for you, but did you ask the Lord?" And they already know, those that I mentored know this, that if you come to me asking me, "What should you do?" and you haven't prayed, I send you right back to praying to hear God because this is the way that we need to begin to train the church. "Have you prayed about it?" "Have you heard the voice of the Lord?" And people say, "Well, no, I haven't heard God." Let me tell you this secret. You can hear God much clearer when you read the Bible. Because every word on those pages, he inspired. You hear his character, the way he thinks. You understand how he operates. You begin to hear his principles. You hear instructions out of scripture. And so we're trying to hear God without the Bible. And there's a problem with that. You use the scripture as the foundation to even hearing God. And so we should be pointing you to him and not ourselves. I don't want to have a ministry of codependency. I don't want to have a ministry where you say, "Well, you, I can't hear. I'm not going to make no decision until I hear from Mondays." No, no, no, no. That's not the way we need to do this. We don't want to have ministers that we keep doing this. And we've done this for decades. We set ministers up on pedestals and we put them up in such a high place and we love to do this. We love to build them up and we love to put them on this pedestal and we are enamored with their gift and we are enamored with everything about them until that awe turns into a bit of infatuation of the personality and then it goes from that infatuation and then it goes over into entertainment and then we start becoming entertained by them and we want to feed from them. What are they doing? What are they eating? What do they like to go? How do they like to dress? What do they like to do? And everything becomes commentary and follow. Did you see what they had on? Did you see what they did? And did you see how they did this? And we love it because the church and the world loves to be entertained. And we're so bored because we're not about purpose and assignment. And if we were about purpose and assignment, we wouldn't be so bored enough to turn five ministers into entertainment. But we do it. This is the reason why I don't do many interviews. That's the reason why I don't go on because well, they want to know, well, what you do and they want to know, well, what do you know? You don't need. I'm not telling you that because you want to make us entertainment for you. Same ain't for everybody, but this is for some people. You want us to be entertainment. You want us to be there and we tap dance for you and we get on and we put on a show and everybody talks about it. Y'all, I'm not cut from that cloth. I didn't come from that. I didn't come from. I'm telling you, I came from a storefront and I don't need the platforms and I don't need the attention. That's not me. I am an introvert if you really know me. And so we, but we have to understand that we love it that way and we set them up and then we debate over them and then after we debate over them, we start tearing them down piece by piece. It just comes with it and it's what happens. But the Lord wants us to mature beyond that. We have to mature beyond that. Let me go back to this so I can close this up. It says, "Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall kill you, and you shall be hated." Hold up. Now, we like the wars and rumors of wars. We don't like this part. We don't like verse eight and nine, beginning of sorrows. Then they shall deliver you up to be afflicted and some people are going to be killed. We're seeing that happen across many other countries where people are being killed just because they're Christians. I'm getting reports from pastors in Nigeria. I'm getting reports from people in remote places where they're killing them just because they're Christians. That's we church. This is why we have to mature. There's real issues going on. And it tells us here that you are going to be hated of all nations for my name's sake. You are going to be hated. Can we just sit in that for a moment? Can we just sit in that for a moment? We are so busy in a culture of trying to be liked when the Bible tells us that because we name the name of Christ, we're going to be hated. If you knew that no matter what you did, you were going to be hated, that no matter how much you tried to people-please, you were still going to be hated if you were in Christ, would you not just throw all of that off you and say, "I'm just going to do what he said anyway"? You're going to be hated by people that know you. You're going to be hated by people. You're just going to be hated because of your assignment in Christ. That's sobering right there. But if we are the type of people that are so needing to be esteemed and loved and we want everybody to care about us and we want everybody. I lost that a long time ago. I lost that. I lost the desire for everybody to love me. I lost the desire for everybody to appreciate what I'm doing in ministry. Nobody. At some point, you're going to have to embrace and accept the fact that you are going to be at times hated. You at times are going to be rejected. You at times are going to be looked at as somebody that people are like, "We don't want them there. We don't like them." And they don't even know why they don't like you. Embrace the fact that this is a part of the plan for the church. Then it says, "And they shall, and and then shall many be offended and shall betray one another and shall hate one another." So it talks about a spirit of offense coming and then comes betrayals. We're living that out right now. And shall hate one another and many false prophets shall rise and then they shall deceive many. We're in that place right now. And this is why disarmment, reading the word of God is necessary because many false prophets are going to rise. You always can tell a false prophet because a false prophet is going to draw people to themselves versus Christ. They're going to try to take credit for everything versus giving God the glory. If they heal someone, they're going to say, "I healed them," instead of saying, "Jesus did that. The power is not me. It's in him." If they are doing some type of whatever it is, achieving something, they're going to want the credit for it and they're going to try to take the credit for it. And so, I want you to hear this because this is what the Bible tells us is going to happen and is happening in this time. And we are in that last day period. And we're in that last day period right now. Listen, I got to close this and I want to pray over you. I want to pray over you that I want you to understand that things are going to escalate and they're going to escalate quickly in the season that we're in from now to mid-September and even going to the end of the year. You're going to begin to see more of war begin to escalate. You're going to begin to see more of the division within some circles. Yes, even within the body of Christ. Understand that it's a time of separation. That the Lord is separating between wheat and tear. He's separating between what's his and what's not his. Embrace it. Don't fight it. Embrace it. Understand that it's a part of God's plan. And then know that we're coming into great days of revival and refreshing. We are literally coming into great days of refreshing and massive revival. And this massive revival is for the church to be refreshed and equipped to be sent out when times of tribulation come. And the Bible tells us this in John 16:33. It says, "These things have I spoken unto you that in me you might have peace. In this world, you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world." You're going to have that word tribulation is the thlipsis and it means pressure. It means affliction. It means persecution. Those are the three areas of tribulation. Number one is pressure. Number two is affliction. Number three is persecution. He says you're going to have a whole lot of tribulation. You're going to be dealing with pressure. You're going to be dealing with affliction. You're going to be dealing with persecution. That is what we know. And it's going to increase. But the more the pressure is put on you, the more you are afflicted and persecuted, the more trials you see in your life. Understand God will deliver you out of them. But know that he's using it to get the oil out of you. He's literally using it to squeeze the oil out. And that's what's happening right now for many of you. That the anointing that's coming out of you is going to be greater, far greater than what you've ever seen, than what you've seen in your life simply because the Lord's allowing you to be crushed. He's allowing the pressure to come on. He's allowing you to go through it because it is necessary. It is necessary. It is necessary.

Now, listen again. And I want to encourage you. I'm going to pray over you in just a moment. But yes, September the 11th and 12th, I'm announcing the next Mantle popup. The Lord has given us the go-ahead to do it, and we're coming to Brooklyn, New York. The venue is going to be announced really, really soon. But for those of you that want to be a part, go ahead and get in. Make sure you get in. Go to mantle.org, mtle.org. And that information is going to be there on that site for you to get in. And you'll see a splash page that's up right now and you'll be able to go for information. And some information is already there for you to do whatever you need to do. But I'm excited. Some of you are flying in. Some of you are driving in. You can come from the surrounding states or if you got to come all the way from the West Coast to get there. This is called Mantle Fire and Glory because we believe in God that you're going to see. You're literally going to see the fire of revival begin to break out. And I believe the Lord wants our feet on the ground there in New York on September the 11th and the 12th. I believe that there are things that God wants to speak about, things that he wants to say. When he speaks and when he says it, we need intercessors and people right there that will begin to pray and to cover. This Mantle, I can tell you, is going to be like any other. We've come out of the warfare. We were in "Made for War" and we're coming into "Fire and Glory." I believe it's also going to be a time of great refreshing. And not only that, it is the crossover into the Hebrew New Year. The Jewish New Year happened September 11th and 12th this year. And it just so happened that those are the dates that all of this is lining up on. And I'm excited about it. That's this year. That's 2026. Yes, it's September coming up, 2026. We're running it back. God has given me the go-ahead to run it back and to do this. This is a popup. It's only two days. And for those of you that can get there this year, September the 11th and 12th, I want you to get there. And of course, the dates for our main Mantle gathering is next year in July, and you can find that on the site as well. But we're focusing on this popup because I believe that there is a clarion call going out. If you're in New Jersey, come. If you're in Connecticut, come. If you're in any of the boroughs there in New York, I want you to come. If you are in surrounding areas, Philly, this is your time to come. And even those of you that are again far away and you want to fly in, drive in, whatever you want to do, I need you to get there because I believe we're getting ready to experience a major move of God. And I believe it's going to be a powerful time in the presence of the Lord. And we're going to see what all God wants to do. But I want to pray over you. Father, I pray, Father, that you would get us ready. Mature your body, Father. Mature us. I pray that we would embrace your correction, Father. Even as you correct me and correct us, Father, we receive and embrace it because we know you correct those you love, Father. So, we submit fully to your plan. We submit fully to your will, Father. We repent of any wrongdoing. Father, we humble ourselves under your mighty hand. Father, we humble ourselves, Father, to receive from you and to be strengthened in this time that we're in. I pray, Father, that you would continue to guide our steps. That you would put a hedge of protection around those that are watching this, those that are listening to me. Father, I pray that you would put a hedge of protection around us. I pray that you would cover our families in the midst of turmoil in the earth and fires and floods. Father, in the midst of earthquakes and in the midst of contamination of water and food and diseases, Father, you protect your people. We plead the blood of Jesus over every person that's here, every person that's watching, every family that's represented in the name of Jesus. And Father, I pray that you would cover us this day. Cover us, Father, as we are doing your will. And as we desire, Father, to fully embrace your purpose and will. And Father, we give you praise and glory. And we thank you, Father, for everything that you've done, everything that you're going to do. And we pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.

Listen, I got to jump off here, but I hope and pray that you received the word today. I know in the beginning I shared the recap. If you missed it, go back and listen to the things that God did at Mantle and just the amazing things that the Lord did. And I hope you receive and take this word. And listen, I plan to see you next week. But I want you to stay connected to all the social platforms if you can stay connected because more information about the popup that we're doing in New York for September the 11th and 12th is going to be dropped in a little bit here. So, I want you to stay connected and we're going to get all that information to you. All right, I'll see you guys back here next week. Same on Monday, as long as the Lord says the same. All right, see you then.
