00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
I felt the darkness beginning to move over the face of the land.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,600
So when we get to 2024 now, what am I seeing in 2024?

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,600
I'm seeing the same thing.

4
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:22,400
And I don't want to be a pessimist because I don't believe that we can walk with the Lord

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,600
the way He wants us to be united with Him in being overwhelmed during defeat.

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,400
But on the other hand, we have to face reality and we have to connect with Him

7
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,600
in the present reality, which requires more grace.

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:41,200
You know, the Bible says where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more.

9
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:49,200
And so I just feel like a greater grace is needed and will be needed in the inner man of God's people

10
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:55,520
to be able to transcend and ascend the winds of darkness that we're presently facing

11
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,160
and which will continue to face in the earth even more fiercely.

12
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:05,520
And so as we get into 2024, I can talk more about that, but that's a general opening comment.

13
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:10,720
Yeah. Well, let's take a few minutes and touch more about 2024.

14
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,360
I mean, that's one of the reasons that we're here is to talk about what it is that God's saying.

15
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:22,160
And I think you kind of touch the surface there, but I'd like to go a little bit deeper because I know it's there.

16
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,480
Okay. Well, first of all, I would like to say that for credibility purposes,

17
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,760
I've been teaching this and preaching this for many years, exactly what I'm sharing right now.

18
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,080
A lot of times we were just hearing all these prophetic voices and they were just talking

19
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:41,440
about all the good things that are going to happen, the end times revival, the last days revival,

20
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:46,560
and it was all positive, positive, positive. Some people were even practicing numerology.

21
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:53,360
You know, 2022 is going to be the year of whatever 2021 is going to be the year of whatever 2020 is

22
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,600
going to be the year of perfect eyesight, you know, 2020 vision and all these positive words.

23
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,280
I never was on any of those bandwagons. I was always prophesying and teaching the same thing

24
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,040
that I'm speaking right now, because what I'm speaking right now, it's not only something

25
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:12,400
that I feel in my spirit, it's something that's in God's word. You know, Paul said in 2 Timothy

26
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:23,680
chapter 3, 1, he said, realize this, in the last days, difficult times will come. When we look at

27
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:31,200
Yeshua's words, Jesus's words in Luke 21 and Matthew 24, when the apostles and disciples

28
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,480
were asking him, tell us, when will be the end of the age and the signs of your coming?

29
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:42,720
When will be the signs of your coming and the end of the age? He began to list all the things that

30
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:51,520
would be happening on earth, wars, rumors of wars, pestilence, earthquake, people's love growing cold,

31
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:59,360
people betraying one another, lawlessness increased, hatred, all these things that we're seeing right

32
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:06,000
now. Jesus told us these things would happen as we approached his return. And he said that when

33
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,600
we see these things, we should know that our redemption is near. And so I'm just speaking

34
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:18,640
straight down the pike truth right now, which I've been speaking for many, many years, that we need

35
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:26,480
to get ready to face difficult times. And we can face difficult times, and we can still live in

36
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:33,760
victory. But in order to live in victory, we need to get strong. And the only way to get strong

37
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:41,920
is to utterly depend on God, to utterly depend on God for everything, and to feed ourselves daily

38
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:51,600
with His Word and the fellowship of His people. And through that, we can get such an impartation

39
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:58,560
of the resurrection of Messiah that we can live in victory. And Daniel told us that in these last

40
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:04,800
days, many of God's people would be overwhelmed and overcome. But he said, some will shine like

41
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:12,240
the stars and lead many to righteousness. So we can prevail, but we need to be prepared that things

42
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,600
are not going to get better. They're going to get worse. Now, there may be some respites in there.

43
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,000
There may be some short periods of respites. I mean, it could be in a political situation,

44
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,520
for example, that we may see in 2024, I'm not predicting we will, I'm just simply saying that

45
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,800
I'm making an allowance for the fact that depending on who is in government, there may be some seasons

46
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:39,360
of respite that would kind of slow down the pace that we're presently in right now, this quick

47
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:46,960
trajectory into lawlessness and value systems that are anti-kingdom. But even if there's a respite

48
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:52,000
because of a change in government or whatever, it still is not going to change the overall

49
00:04:52,000 --> 00:05:01,040
downward trajectory into darkness. And one of the reasons that this is so is because of the

50
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:08,240
principle of chaos. One of the devil's primary manifestations. In other words, if you look at

51
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:14,640
the essence of darkness and what is being transmitted from darkness, one of the primary

52
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:20,480
transmissions of darkness is chaos. And the reason one of the primary transmissions of darkness

53
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:27,840
is chaos, John, is because chaos breaks everything down and its fruit is destruction.

54
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,720
And so you look right now at what has happened in the earth and you can really describe it as chaos.

55
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:43,280
We could start back with really to trace kind of this quick trajectory, this quick fall,

56
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:48,880
and we can talk about moral darkness spreading into the family, spreading into all types of

57
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:55,280
addictions, now spreading into people not even agreeing on the most basic things. So we have all

58
00:05:55,280 --> 00:06:00,800
this kind of chaos going on in every sphere. So you look for example, where a lot of this

59
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,440
quick trajectory began to fall, it really was, and this is a bit of a controversial statement,

60
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:13,840
but it's true. When we accepted the pill, the birth control pill as something that was just like,

61
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:19,200
I can say for myself, when I was a believer when I got married and my wife was on the pill, we didn't

62
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,760
even think anything about it. To be honest with you, now I definitely would. But at the time,

63
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:30,480
it was just like it was such a mainstream mindset. Yeah, you take the pill that we just didn't really

64
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:36,720
think it through. But when I think about it now and think about what is the result of such an easy

65
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:42,560
way to be able to have sexual relations. Number one, it takes sanctity out of sex because so many

66
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,440
people, you know, they take the pill, they're not married, and it's just a way for them to enjoy sex

67
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:56,000
without the risk of becoming pregnant. And birth control began really to take sanctity out of

68
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:03,760
sex. And it began to diminish the sanctity of human life. That eventually led not only to a sexual

69
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:12,800
revolution downward, where people just began to enjoy sex as part of enjoyment rather than looking

70
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,240
at it as something sacred that was preserved for marriage, which threw everything out of, I mean,

71
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:21,600
that's called such havoc in society, such a destruction in families and people's identity,

72
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,680
you know, not people who got married. Firstly, they're doing they're comparing themselves to

73
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:31,040
their spouse's previous sexual partners. You know, as I is enjoyable, forgive me, you know, as him

74
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:36,240
or her, you know, just as great such insecurity and breakdown and relationship and marriage in society,

75
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:43,920
from there, it spiraled into abortion. You know, if we could take the pill, what about abortion?

76
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:50,800
That just further separated people in their conscience from the value of human life. And when

77
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:57,440
men's conscience gets seared, it's seared to God and to the Holy Spirit. So abortion has played a

78
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:04,000
huge role in severing the population from the witness of the Holy Spirit in their life. And

79
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:10,720
then we had the introduction of the internet. And obviously, I mean, it's an unbelievable blessing.

80
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,640
I mean, like you said, something, you know, is broken, you don't know how to operate something,

81
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:20,400
what do you do? You go on Google, you can figure out almost anything. Unbelievable. But on the other

82
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:29,280
hand, how much of our psyche and our soul no longer is dwelling at peace inside us. We're

83
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:35,760
connected to the pseudo reality of cyberspace. You know, we wake up in the morning, the first

84
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,840
thing we do, you know, we look at our phones, we get on the internet, you know, all day long,

85
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:46,320
the phones going off. You know, it's taken people out of the ability to be sensitive to what's going

86
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:53,520
on inside them. The Holy Spirit's inner witness who is inside us, because we're too connected to

87
00:08:53,520 --> 00:09:00,960
something outside us. And then the same demon that took us out of ourselves by drawing us into the

88
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:08,160
cyber reality through internet space, that same demon has now reprogrammed people's minds

89
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:15,840
so that they believe a lie because they've been programmed by disinformation and misinformation

90
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:22,000
that's come to them through the internet. So all this is producing mass chaos, and it's going to

91
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:29,920
blow up. And that's where we're going. Wow. So what do we as believers do about that? As we're

92
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:35,360
wrapping this up, what do we do? What's our action that we can start taking? Thank you, my friend.

93
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,120
Well, let me answer that question two ways. First, I'm going to answer it in a prophetic experience

94
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,840
that I had, and then I'm going to answer it through the word. So the first thing I would say was

95
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:50,480
sometime back, we had a movement that you and I think spoke of. It was called Taking the Rainbow

96
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:55,600
Back, where I was encouraging God's people to come together in unity, to stand for righteousness

97
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:01,440
in the earth, to not let the LGBTQ agenda roll over the church as the church is silent. We need

98
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,920
to speak out and speak up for the sake of being lights in the earth and the salt of the world

99
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:12,160
and also to be able to offer hope to people that are struggling with LGBTQ issues and are looking

100
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:18,960
for a way out. So we went through that movement and it was like a four month process. And I really

101
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:25,120
gave it my all. I mean, I did so many interviews. I invested so fully into that. And then we got

102
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:34,640
to the end of that journey, which culminated in it was like on July 28th, I believe it was.

103
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:42,560
And right after that movement culminated with a weekend that we had planned on July 28th,

104
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:47,440
I believe was the date. I was kind of lost a little bit after that because I had been so invested

105
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,920
in this for months. And now we just kind of completed the lap. We completed the circle.

106
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:57,040
Everything that we had planned to do with this taking the rainbow back strategy was completed.

107
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,840
And so now that it was completed, it was a little bit like postpartum depression.

108
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,080
I wasn't I wasn't depressed, but it just like, well, what do I do now? You know, I've given birth

109
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,400
there, you know, I've, you know, I've on this thing. Where do I go? So I was just feeling a little bit

110
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,880
like out of sorts, like, like trying to find my bearing. What should I do now? I didn't really

111
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,920
have a new goal. I didn't really have a new focus. And so I came down to my pro room one morning.

112
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:26,160
And I laid down on my couch there and I, and I put some beautiful worship music on. And I was,

113
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:33,200
as I was laying in my couch, I went into like a dreamlike trans state. And in this dreamlike

114
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:40,640
trans state, an angel, and I've never seen an angel before in my life. I had heard angels before

115
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:47,760
on two occasions in my life, but I'd never seen an angel in my life. So as I'm laying on my couch,

116
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,520
right after the taking the rainbow back movement had ended, and I'm kind of like, what do I do now?

117
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,600
Well, I'm just kind of feeling lost. Like, what's the next inspiration? Where do I go from here?

118
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,760
I'm laying on my couch, listening to this worship music, I go into like a dreamlike

119
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:06,320
trans state, John, and an angel walks into my prayer room. Now the angel did not look like any

120
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:12,160
other angel that I heard described before. He was like an average looking man in height in height.

121
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:18,080
He was a black man. He had black skin, like an African man's skin. He was dressed completely in

122
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:24,480
green. And it wasn't like a pants and shirt. It looked more like a riding hood type of a

123
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:32,560
outfit. And he had a green hoodie on. And he came down to where I was laying on my couch.

124
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:39,680
And right where I'm laying on my couch, there's a coffee table there. And the angel took this

125
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:45,600
Bible. And the Bible that he that he that he was carrying was also clothed in green. It had like

126
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:54,000
a green Bible covering over it. Yeah. So the angel took the Bible. He laid it on my coffee table

127
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,320
right next to where I was, you know, sleeping, dreaming in this trans-life vision state. And

128
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:03,040
he then covered it up really daintily in that by green Bible cover. I mean, it was already on there.

129
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,320
But he, you know, just straight that out, you know, like he'd straighten out sheets on a bed,

130
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:11,440
make sure it was all covered real daintily. And then the experience was over. And I woke up.

131
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:17,360
Man, I mean, and I could hear the music playing from, you know, from my, from, you know, as he

132
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:24,240
came into my room. And it was just like I was being ministered to with by such incredible beauty

133
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:31,520
from the Lord. I mean, it was such a beautiful marked experience. And so I woke up and I just

134
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:37,840
like, wow. And I was so thankful that the Lord had just spoke to me because remember, I was feeling

135
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,960
kind of lost. Like, what do I do next? And the Lord was telling me the way the way I intuited,

136
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,360
what just happened was the Lord was telling me, just stay in my word. You don't need to know about

137
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,360
what project is next. You don't need to know what to do next. You don't need to be concerned about

138
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,840
anything right now. I just want you to focus on one thing. I just want you to stay in my word.

139
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:01,040
Remember, the angel took the Bible, laid it really daintily on my thing. So your answer,

140
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:06,320
the question to the answer, what do we do? The first thing that I would like to just state is

141
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:13,680
we need to stay and become even more grounded in God's word. And I want to close this by saying

142
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:20,480
this and then we can continue on here. But, you know, Paul said that bodily discipline is profitable.

143
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:27,280
But he said spiritual discipline is even more profitable. And that's something today that I

144
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:33,280
don't think is stressed enough that we need to be spiritually disciplined to be able to be doing

145
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:40,800
certain things in our life that will help us grow in the Lord and having a disciplined regiment of

146
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,680
reading the scriptures, even if it's just a chapter a day from the old and a chapter a day from the

147
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:51,200
new is, you know, and reading a little bit of scripture or Bible study or devotion before you

148
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:56,880
go to bed. I mean, this is our lifeline. The word of God is what we live by. So the first thing I'd

149
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:02,960
say is people need to get into God's word, stay in God's word, and they need to be, we need to be

150
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:10,880
disciplined by it about it. Wow. Get in God's word and stay in his word. I mean, it's as simple as that.

151
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:17,280
And as the Bible talks about in even the book of Revelation, as we read it, there is a blessing

152
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:24,800
with that. And so as we're looking at the end times that are approaching fast, faster and faster

153
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:31,680
every day, there is a blessing that comes from spending time in the word of God and be in studying

154
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:38,400
to show yourself approved, but to study and to stay in the word of God. Rabbi Kirchneider, it's

155
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:45,200
great to have you here to talk about what it is that God is saying about 2024 and beyond. But also,

156
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:50,160
what do we as believers need to do about it? Thank you so much for being here today and sharing.

157
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,440
God bless you, brother. I love you. Thank you for your spirit. Thank you for your love. Thank you

158
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:59,680
for my blessing, my friend. And may God continue to give you open doors and charisma, open doors for

159
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:05,200
the huge distribution outlet that you have, and that has been established over all these years

160
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:10,480
during these times, because now more than ever, we need cutting edge breakthrough awards from the Lord.

161
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,000
And we need to be connected to the prophetic in the church,

162
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:23,600
as well as just simply being grounded in the written word of God. Amen. Thank you very much.
