Prophecy - It’s Happening NOW the World is being “Organized”: from the Beheading of a Journalist to ISIS Aiming at the White House

Greg, Pat, and John discuss the staggering realities regarding the beheading of American journalist James Foley by ISIS terrorists, the Islamic State. This appears to be a tipping point as an overwhelming outcry has risen from across the globe against these barbaric acts. In a CBN report, voices are rising against the inhumane acts of ISIS, from Christians, to religious leaders, to Arabs and Muslim leadership. This is not meant to instill fear in you, but to instill fact in you. It is atrocities such as these that the Lord has warned us about.

It’s important to remember that this is not about people, it’s spiritual. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” - Ephesians 6:12

Recently, God gave a young boy a prophetic dream that confirms not only these acts, but additional events that are currently occurring on the soil of America. This young boy was shown Washington D.C. the White House, and the President. He was also shown Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea. What is significant about these is the oppressive presence that North Korea has upon its people. ISIS is doing the same oppressing and killing those it encounters. Currently, in Western media, the flag of ISIS is being seen. In addition, the mask of Guy Fawkes is being witnessed. It is important to know what the history is behind these realities. Guy Fawkes was a man who believed that the leadership established was wrong and needed to be removed, by placing dynamite underneath parliament. It is repeated rebellion against authorities that is being seen. In regards to this, God revealed the history regarding Guy Fawkes as well as the outcome in a prophetic dream.

We must not turn a blind eye to the realities that are taking place. We must not also be ignorant of these events. When we trace the events that brought us here, a clear picture can be seen. If we, the church, do not repent, this is where we are headed. Be encouraged that amidst the events of evil in the world, God is still in control and He is speaking. Find out the details of the voice of the Lord, what we can do in these challenging days, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: ISIS, CBN, President Obama, Kim Jong-un, air strikes, Dumitri Duduman, Guy Fawkes, Brigitte Gabriel, prophecy, and Rick Joyner.

It’s Okay for our Generation to Believe that God has Blessed America and not Lose Sight of the many blessings that have Over taken us

Greg, Pat, and John have an interesting conversation about generations. When we look back in history, we can see that history is made up of generations. Looking back in the Old Testament, the Israelites went through their own sequence of events. Generation by generation they were led, by the hand and mercies of God, out of Egypt, into the wilderness, to the boundaries of the blessed land flowing with milk and honey, and eventually into the land flowing with milk and honey. God had a plan that he desired for His people.

While the Israelites were in Egypt, they were under the oppression of slavery. Crying out for deliverance, God heard their prayers and responded in His mercy. In the wilderness, many forgot that it was the mercies of God that led them out of Egypt. The leadership that God established, Moses, was being criticized. God was not deaf to these words. When God led the Israelites to the land flowing with milk and honey, which is now present day Israel, they had to have faith and believe that God would provide for them and overcome the giants of the land. By this point, the original generation had died away from plagues because of their grumbling and complaining.

The narrative being sown across the land of America is that it is not a blessed land flowing with milk and honey. The lie being shared is that God was involved in the foundations of America. The saying, “for God and country”, is significant in these matters. Because God came first, the nation of America came about. It is for “God and country”, not “for country and many gods”. Have we forgotten that America is a blessed land? Have we forgotten the significance of God’s role in the birthing of America? It’s OK to recognize America as a blessed land flowing with milk and honey. It’s OK to look back on the history in America. It’s OK to revisit the monuments and see the significance of the Biblical values carved into stone. It’s OK to stand with your hand over your heart pledging allegiance to the American Flag. Enjoy this encouraging discussion as you remember what makes the nation of America great, how we can return to a place of gratitude acknowledging all that God has done, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Jehoshaphat, Ahab, gratitude, Original Intent, Founding Fathers, The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, First Amendment, Generations, complaining, and faith.

The Coming Deception of those Chasing after Signs and Power

Greg, Pat and John have an impactful conversation about power and authority. There is something about power that causes one to be drawn to an individual in a position of leadership. The day that Saul was made King, he was hiding behind luggage. A day later, people were drawn to him. Was it the man or the power? This is a dangerous thing because it is our sin nature that is drawn to this. “Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.”

–Revelation 16:13-14

If we are following someone simply because of power, or miracles, we are opening ourselves up to deception. Just because someone shares an accurate word does not necessarily mean it is a word from God. Jesus said plainly that in the last days many will proclaim to Him how they moved in power. “Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!”

-Matthew 7:22-23

False religion is going to crank up in the world. It is important that we are not alone. It is vital that we have others in our lives that can speak truth to us, those that can see our character, and give direction when needed. This is not a sign of weakness; it is actually a sign of strength. This life is not simply about doing, but about doing the will of God. In this we are demonstrating to the world that we love God. Be encouraged as you get an understanding in these challenging times, how to love, how not to be deceived, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: power, miracles, deception, Prophets, Demons, Radical Islam, frogs, and Armageddon.

WATCH! What You Really Look like Under Ultraviolet Light & What God sees When He looks At You Covered by the Blood of his Son

Greg, Pat and John share a video about the staggering effects of the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays and its effects on our skin. Many don’t know the impacts and how their skin is affected. When looking through an ultraviolet camera, your skin will look completely different. Healthy skin is easy to notice. Extended exposure to the Sun damages our skin, until we apply sunscreen. When looking through the same ultraviolet lens, the damage can no longer be seen, only the sunscreen.

All men have fallen short. All need a Savior. We are all damaged by this life, born in the sinful nature of this world. Looking at one another, we see the perfections on the surface, unaware of the damage of effects that are beneath the surface. When God looks at us through the lens of His eyes, He sees the damaging impacts of sin in our lives. When we say yes to His Son Jesus Christ, God no longer sees the damage of sin, but only the pure holy blood of Jesus Christ. Be encouraged with this powerful video, allow God to reveal to you the power of the blood of His Son Jesus Christ, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Ultra Violet rays, sunscreen, salvation, repentance

Officer Attacked by “Skater”: We need to be there for our Officers if we want our Officers to be there for us

Iraqi TV Host Cries on TV over What ISIS has done to Christians: “Our Country is a Rose and Christians are its Petals”

Greg, Pat and John share some staggering events seen recently on television that may surprise you. With all of the events that have been taking place throughout the world, the enemy would love for the church to simply categorize people as all being the same. This is not true. God loves everyone, not just a single people group. The messages and narratives being portrayed through the images of media would have us to believe that all of those in the Middle East have the same ideals and values of radical Islam. Again, this is not true. On Iraqi television, Arabs break down in tears as they discuss the tragedies regarding the persecution of Christians in Northern Iraq. Amidst the onslaught of these events, what stands out most to these particular Arabs, is the character and values of the Christians.

Our greatest witness in these troubling times is our ability to love. Jesus told us how to respond in these realities: “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven”- Matthew 5:43-45. God loves the world, and as Christians so should we. Be encouraged as your love is stirred, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: persecution, sex slavery, ISIS, Azidis, Middle East, and love.

Rediscovering God in America: Reflections on the Role and Faith in our nation’s history- Part 3 – The Washington Monument

John, Pat and Steve continue the conversation of Newt Gingrich’s book, Rediscovering God in America. Presently, the voices coming against the acknowledgement of God in America appear to be increasing. A misconception is the idea that God doesn’t belong in America, that government should be separated from the acknowledgement of God. By simply walking through the nation’s capital in Washington D.C. and the monuments that are there, not only will one find the acknowledgement of God, but also the bold declaration of God within the lives of our earliest leaders.

America’s first president, George Washington, ended his acceptance oath to Presidency by opening up the Holy Bible to Deuteronomy, chapter 28. He then proceeded to kiss these very pages. Verse 1 reads: “If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.” The Washington Monument in D.C. is a highlight to the leadership and presidency of this man and the life that he lived.

In 2011, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake shook the very foundation of this monument causing significant damage. After a 3 year restoration period, it is open again to the public. Be encouraged as you learn how intricately the acknowledgement of God is woven into the very bricks, the foundation, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: George Washington, Original Intent of America, Proclamation of Prayer, day of thanksgiving, capstone, cornerstone, Declaration of Independence, and The Constitution.

The Harvest; the Importance of Abiding

Steve, John, and Pat share about the importance of abiding as they talk about Rick Joyner’s book, The Harvest. Amidst today’s generation of technology and communication, we are able to speak with the world with a click of a button; we are able to connect with what is happening with the change of channel. How do we communicate when there is no internet, when there is no power? How do we connect with relatives in another city or state with no cell phones?

Rick Joyner writes, “Major conferences of apostles and elders will be convened with no invitations being issued and no word being passed concerning them. The Holy Spirit will speak to each who is to attend and He will preside. The Lord Himself will be directing the harvest of the world like the most perfectly managed farm…… The preparation for this great emphasis of the Spirit will be to know the Lord’s voice.”

In these current days, it is imperative for us to know the Lord’s voice. Exciting days are upon us. When we look at what is happening, we can be fearful, unless we know the one who is holding Creation in the palm of His hand. Be encouraged as you find out how to begin an abiding relationship with the Lord, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: abiding, technology, internet, cell phones, power, and the Holy Spirit.

It’s Not Personal: It’s Spiritual

John, Pat and Steve talk about the complexity of Jesus’ life and paradigms that He walked in. The Bible highlights the many miracles that Jesus did while He walked on Earth: turning water to wine, He healed the blind, He healed the woman with the issue of blood, He walked on water, and many others. Even amidst such powerful miracles, it was the religious leaders of the day who wanted to kill Jesus. Jesus walked in such a cloak of humility, regardless of the repeated insults that were hurled at Him, He never got offended. Jesus chose to leave the splendors of Heaven to take on our limited frame as humans, to empathize with all of our weaknesses, in order to save us.

An analogy that paints a picture of this paradigm is to imagine a human having compassion on an ant pile. The love of this particular human compels him to leave the understanding and abilities of the human frame to take on the life of an ant. It is important to remember, as an ant, he’ll never again walk in the fullness of a human being. All this was done with the hopes that the ants will receive this one particular ant and believe he came to save them. This analogy pales in comparison to the reality of what Jesus has done for us, but it highlights the greatness and humility of who Jesus is. Be encouraged as your perspective of Jesus changes, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: humility, miracles, offense, Heaven, The Trinity, and pride.

Protective Edge Update Hamas will not halt Violent Attacks unless 3 of their Demand are met?

John, Pat and Steve continue the conversation regarding Israel and Operation Protective Edge. Israel is currently in the middle of a 5 day cease fire with Gaza. Hamas has expressed their conditions regarding this cease fire.

Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, is standing unwaveringly against Hamas to protect the nation of Israel and the Israeli people. It is vital that the church stand with PM Netanyahu, with Israel, and with the Israeli people. Find out the details of these conditions, how Israel is responding, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Israel, Hamas, ceasefire, Palestinians, Dan Livingston, Seaport, and tunnels.

Anti-Defamation League: Anti-Semitism on the Rise in the World

John, Pat and Steve share about the world’s perspective is continually growing more and more Anti-Semitic (anti-Jewish). The Anti-Defamation League is reporting that 25% of 100 countries polled express a deep hatred for the nation of Israel. Anti-Semitic events are occurring across the globe and they are increasing. Crowds are massing expressing their hatred towards the Jews and chanting, “Gas the Jews!”, “Death to the Jews”.

There is a repeated narrative that is being shouted across the globe that consistently against Israel. The images that are being broadcasted regarding the Gaza- Israel conflict consistently pictures Palestinian children injured and Israel soldiers in Gaza. Based on this, what other ideas will be concluded, other than Israel is the bad guy. It is important to remember that Israel is 70 miles wide at its widest point. It is smaller than the state of New Jersey. How can so many nations across the globe have such hatred towards the Jews and the nation of Israel? It is imperative for the church to pay attention to what they’re hearing. Without an understanding of the history of these conflicts we are at the mercy of those who are telling us what it is.

As the church, we must not be ignorant towards these realities. We must stand with Israel, we must pray for Israel, and we must pray for the leadership of Prime Minister Netanyahu. Be encouraged as you hear a full sided perspective of what is happening regarding Israel, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Israel, Anti- Semitism, JJ, Anti-Defamation League, Miami Rabbi, the Holocaust, and Fox News.

Update on ISIS; The Church in Iraq Open its Doors to Refugees and Isis warns they are in America

John, Pat and Steve share an update on what is occurring in Iraq and the activities of ISIS. The dam in Northern Iraq has been taken back by the Kurds, taken from ISIS control, causing 500,000 + people not to have their homes flooded stretching as far south as Baghdad. CBN reports how Iraqis have had to flee the Northern parts of Iraq because of the ultimatums given by ISIS, convert, leave or die. Amidst the fleeing, it is the church where refugees are finding safety. Pastor Majeed Mohammed said, “We don’t care that they are Christians, Azidis, Muslims. We don’t care about that because they are human beings. They have been kicked out of their homes by ISIS and terrorist groups. We wanted to show them that as Christians we love them and are very glad to have them here and save them.” It is this important and significant role that the church is playing in this region that is allowing many to be safe. Amidst continuing growing concern regarding the actions of ISIS we can be encouraged and at peace knowing that God is control. We can stand against this as we stand with God and with Israel. Find out the details of what is happening in Iraq, how you can respond, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: ISIS, Yazidis, President Obama, CBN, Mosul Dam, and love.
