Well as promised I will be sharing another sermon preached originally by John G Lake back in the early 1900’s.

We should pay attention to this message now considering that beginning back in the days when the Catholic church was turning quickly away from God, setting aside the purity and the necessity of the Holy Spirit to do the will of the Father. You see the Holy Spirit is not given to support your agenda. Every powerless church is evidenced of that truth. Abd but you see once they continued on with the churchy organization without the Holy Spirit, it is like they got mad and simply stated or really what they did was to out and out reject the Holy Spirit, saying things like well He is not for todays church, or the miracles, signs, and wonders are not for today. What was really happening is that because they were not operating in these things they tried to simply come up with some other reason, other than pure rebelling against God and blaspheming His Spirit, as to why these things are not for today. They perverted the scripture just like satan did with Eve and tada we are at the garden scene all over again. 

So but it is not hopeless as long as we continue to teach on the truth of the bible. John G Lake operated in the Holy Spirit in immeasurable ways changing the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. That is a lot of witnesses to the fact that the Holy Spirit is for today. 

          Heb 13:8 - 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Now we know that all of these things that I will be mentioning, Jesus said, while He was still on this planet. So it begs to reason that we should stop and think about what it means. Nope, we shouldn’t try and interpret what it means least we explain it away as hubbub. And 2 Timothy 3:16 tells us that there is no hubbub in the bible. Ha. 

So why explore such statements Podcast Preacher? Of all of the things mentioned in the bible why look into these types of things, I mean it won’t help people to know God in the least. Ha, nope, but it will help them know God in the least because we want to know all, not only the milk level things but the meat level things in the bible. Oh, I want to know and to see what Moses saw while supping with God on the mountain. And yes he wasn’t eating earthy food but facing timing God Himself (Ex 24, 33:12-23). And well since I am in the I want mood, I would also like to see and to hear what Paul heard as stated in 2 Corinthians 12:1-4. Well I am still in the I want what they had mood so I would also like to see the voice as John did in Revelation 1:10-12, and I am not talking about the TV program. Ha, and so well maybe some finishing desert would be in order and we could perhaps see a bit of what Daniel saw in some of his visions as discussed in Daniel chapters 7 thru 10, and but in truth we are seeing some of those very visions coming to pass in these last days. So ya, this message is necessary to evoke some spiritual curiosity in your hearts and minds so that as more and more revelation comes through these messages and lands in your hearts and minds that the cares of this world would vaporize and the result would be an ever increasing and active faith to do the works of Jesus in our generation.  

John 8:16 - 16 And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me.

Ok so I was thinking a bit about how that I might be doing too many messages for people to keep up, which I kind of expected considering this has been the story of my life. No I am not boasting but laying down a truth foundation for your assistance and my confirmation that I am indeed not posting too many messages for anyone to keep up, but that there is something else going on.

Yes, it’s a message before the message but it did pop up into my mind and spirit so let’s address the gigabyte in the room. I was thinking about the overproduction of messages and then as I was doing so, I thought about how churches do well church, whereby they usually give about a 20 to 30-min message once a week and sent the starving sheep on their way into a dry field. 

Then and but thank God for the but then moment. I was thinking about the apostles and how they attended the church of Jesus Christ for months on end, even many of them traveling and living with Him when He was on the road. This was church 7-days a week. Of course I know you have to work and so this schedule may not work for you, but what else are you doing with the rest of your time that helps you to grow spiritually or helps you to shrink increasingly. A daily message is actually not anywhere near to what those apostles got to get. Nope, all day hear, do, hear, do, watch, do, hear, watch, pray, do, do, do.

Is it any wonder why they turned the world upside down and we today cannot turn a leaf over? No,no,no come on we are all in this together. 

It’s the American style of church which came from the Roman Catholic church which is the once a week stuff. Well some do a midweek bible study and others even throw in a well I am not sure what they throw in. I don’t think the American style of church is working. The condition of this nation points squarely to that. We need to square some things up in this next year as I fear many, many Christian casualties due to an over-whelming spiritual attack on this country. Well, I will leave that for now and get to the regularly broadcasted message.

So my wife and I had a couple of contractors who had been working on the house and one morning feeling compelled to engage them with God beyond the usual Podcasting talk, I had asked God how I could engage them without offending them. Contrary to some of my podcasts and how they might come off, I do like to create an open dialog with people especially if I do not know where they stand with God. 

I did hear from some friends about how one of the guys, the owner of the company, how he likes to help people. He is always going about helping those who seem to have no other recourse. I wasn’t sure of his employee but I did notice one day as I was making him some coffee that he seemed to be open to the discussion. 

Anyway, I was praying for the plan of God when He said, and well He often times talks in pictures, and if you don’t think that, that is a mess of a way to communicate to us simply humans you haven’t heard Him with one of His Picasso talks. Ha, it is like in a flash you get 50-pages of information that you understand all at once. And as in my Podcast, I then have to spend the next bit of time working out what He just said and start to unpack the picture. It is glorious in that He shows you the picture of language, gives you the understanding of the entire picture all at once and yet you are through Him able to see all of the parts in such a way that it is not overwhelming or confusing, and then He brings into remembrance all that He had shown you. Time wise it took Him less than one second to drop the bit of communication down into your spirit, and for you it sometimes takes the rest of the day to unpack its meaning. But in this case there were just a couple of things He wanted me to say. The first was to invite them to participate in my podcast by answering a question.

So I have posted and done messages on when we were having some sort of major wind event in Paradise that how I had prayed and that the wind had stopped. I used to just listen to the trees drop all around my house, but in growing spiritually I came across a scripture whereby had the apostles of Jesus not woke Jesus up as He was resting peaceably on His my pillow we may be reading about Jesus apostles with different names. I know Jesus wasn’t going to allow that but flow if you will as we can be sure a lack of spiritual maturity and pray has allowed things to happen on this earth that God had not intended. I can just see Him standing by His wall mounted phone, yup wall mounted, just waiting for the prayers of His saints to come and address some specific event that was happening on earth so that He could act. 

Well so, and I will include the scriptures that support the binding of the spirits which are most often behind the natural chaos that occurs on this planet. Let’s lay the foundation bless God!

1 John 5:19 - We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.

So we, well even many in the Christian church, elected Jello politicians that to be frank needed to be put in place, so that when a time of wisdom is needed, the event would demonstrate that those we put in place, the God denying non-God-fearing politicians, would find themselves lacking the basic requirements to handle these current events. 2016 was made public so as to demonstrate this very thing. We have put so much faith in our Democratic system, that we left God in the hallways believing we could handle things ourselves. Let’s see how we are doing.

Now what we see today with the fires of California is not due to a series of events, no more than a war is due to a series of events. Yes, there is a series of events that occur, both public which is often times a false and controlled narrative, and those events which happen behind closed doors. And but there is a more sinister series of events which is the real reason that the public event happens which in this case is the fire. We who are not plugged into the Light only have the worldly or demonic wisdom to assess what has happened. Nope, it usually will be absent of all of the truth. Remember, in the garden satan used a partial truth to deceive Eve, same as he does today. He got her on her sensual desire to be smart and he does and will continue to get those who have this innate desire to be known as a smart and wise person. Ha, no new tricks for the human race.

James 3:15-16 - 15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

Well as promised I will be sharing a sermon preached originally by John G Lake back in the early 1900’s. Wait Podcast Preacher it’s the message irrelevant considering how much we have advanced as a nation? I mean look at all the tall buildings we have and the technology that we have; why we have the state of the art hospitals, massive disease control facilities, pills for whatever ails mankind and animal alike. And insurance, oh boy do we have insurance, an insurance that makes being sick and diseased so much more comfortable in that the stress of financial collapse is not an additional worry that I have to consider.

Oh now see we will pay attention to this message now considering that the sickest of humans, those with diseases that kill its prey, those with no insurance, and the many others who lived a life in dread of the next day, were delivered with a word from the man of God. And don’t say well he was special in Gods eyes and that is why he was moving in such power. Nope, he was available to God so that God could use him. He wasn’t dissuaded or thrown off guard by the unbelieving church denominations, he just went about setting people free from the oppression of the devil. All of what he did you can do. It is not skill based, not talent based, not brain based, not money based, not popularity based, not education based, not athletic based, not location based, not genetic based, not party affiliation based, not dry church based, not denominational, denominational, or Catholic standing based. Doesn’t matter what car you drive, how plump you are, how much of a sinner you are or were. Doesn’t matter if you are in a physical prison, if you work for Government, if you are teaching 2nd graders. Nope, the only thing that matters is if you are authentically born again and have accepted all of the benefits come from God.

As I was typing up a message long about midnight January 07 or so, I began to hear some noises which sounded a lot like a flock of Buffalo shooting right through the property.  No, they weren’t shooting guns but rather it sounded like a really close flyby to my office. I recalled that the weather peeps had stated that there was a wind to pick up later the next day and figured given their accuracy in predictions that maybe yesterday was now. So I got up and went outside fully expecting flying Buffalo. Nope, but I did see 180 foot tall trees bending to the intense winds.

So I decided when I couldn’t sleep after I had finished a book and was up until about 3am, well because I couldn’t sleep, and well because you know why. Hey Podcast Preacher why all the sleeplessness, is something wrong? Nope, I am fully rested and when I am tired I take the dreaded cat nap for a minute or twenty, and I am sure I will be up all night. Now don’t mistake this as a complaint or that the reason that I am telling you is because to be a good Christian you have to be able to lose sleep. Ha, I am retired so I hold no schedule other than to work on the ministry as time permits. I know that it is God because truly I am not tired even if I slept only 2-hrs in the last couple of days. And but don’t think I am boasting either because if God weren’t in it I could not nor would I want to be awake as many as 22-hrs a day at times. And so but just a break before we get into this message. The result is that I wrote, edited, recorded and posted since November 19th, 28-messages up to January 07, 2025. If you are not aware that’s a lot of teaching goods.  

I did mention that I would be increasing my posts now that I am retired, and so but I did not think that God would rightly get behind me and make sure I would have the time to do so, but He did. And but what I enjoy about he and I is the time that I get to spend with Him. Nothing compares to Him.

I am working on a couple of messages one titled “signs” and the other “So what’s in a loaf”, and but also decided after reading another William Branham recorded sermon that it would be good to hear what’s in it. What is amazing and perhaps there are others out there who leave the same message legacy, is that the sermons that Williams has done are still relevant to today’s crowd and culture. The same issues they had in the 20’s, 30’s, 40,50, and 60’s are the same issues we have today only they of course are exponentially worse. 

What is amazing is that God saved people out of those generations. Many by massive miracles, signs, and wonder tent events. In William Branham’s ministry alone over a million people were saved. The power of God was flowing over this globe like the Valdez oil spill did in Alaska. 11-million gallons of anointing, can you imagine it. Ha, but no fun poked at the disaster, but just bringing a close comparison to the manifestations of God that were happening in such a short amount of time. There was serious active Holy Spirit activity happening from about 1859’s to about 1910. Yes of course we had some flare up’s such as the hippy thing beginning around 1960 and going through to around 1970. The Vinyard move of God started in the 1970’s as well. But nothing in comparison to the revival in Ireland in 1859 known as the Ulster Revival. And well then there is the Azusa Street Revival beginning around 1906 and going til about 1915. We also had the Welsh Revival which went from 1904 to 1905. Some say there were about 100,000 authentic converts. There were others that I had not read much about but you can Google for a list of them.
