Rabbi Kirt Schneider shares a prophetic vision he had about the battle between the spirit of life and the spirit of darkness. He warns that as technology like AI advances, it will be used by the enemy to spread misinformation and draw people away from true relationship with God.
Rabbi Schneider emphasizes the critical need for discernment, urging believers to ground themselves in God's Word rather than chasing after the latest sensational prophecies. He shares his own encounter with the Father, who instructed him to "seize My Word and let nothing else in."
As we approach 2025, this interview provides vital wisdom and insight on navigating the increasing chaos and deception in the world. Rabbi Schneider's words call us to spiritual discipline, obedience, and an eternal perspective - qualities that will be essential in the days ahead.

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,720
There are so many hostile enemies of America that have nuclear capabilities.
2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:10,560
The first thing he does to break down order, to bring final destruction, is he brings chaos.
3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,800
This is all prelude for the final destruction.
4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,840
Things will go from bad to worse.
5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,760
Men will become lovers of self rather than lovers of God.
6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,800
Nation will rise against nation.
7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:26,040
And so he uses these tools to bring man into the outer darkness.
8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,080
And that is exactly what's going to be happening.
9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:36,560
Rabbi Kurt Schneider, it's great to have you back here on Charisma to share what God is speaking to you about 2025.
10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:43,000
But before we get into that, we talked last year about what God was saying for 2024.
11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,480
And one of the things you said was that about the spirit of evil manifesting through chaos.
12
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:52,640
And I believe we did see that this last year.
13
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,440
And let's just kind of recap a little bit about that.
14
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,320
Yeah, years ago, I've been saved, John, since 1978.
15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:05,120
I was supernaturally brought to faith as many of our viewers know in our vision of the night as a Jewish person.
16
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,040
I knew nothing about Jesus.
17
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,040
He was as far away to me as the man on the moon.
18
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:15,920
But one hot August night in 1978, the Lord woke me from my sleep.
19
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,680
My eyes were still closed, but I was aware that something was happening.
20
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,720
And in that vision of the night, Jesus appeared on the cross.
21
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:23,720
It was in color.
22
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,480
I could see some people in the distance looking at him as he was being crucified.
23
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:33,640
And then a ray of red light from the heavens, from straight above the blue sky, came down on Jesus' head.
24
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,160
And when I saw that ray of red light, John, come down from the heavens on Jesus' head,
25
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,240
I understood that that ray of light, that beam of light was coming from God.
26
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,000
And that I understood also that that person on the cross was Jesus.
27
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,400
As an American, I knew enough to know that the person on the cross was Jesus,
28
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,040
even though I knew nothing about him, didn't understand anything about sin or anything.
29
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,920
But I knew that God had just shown me that Jesus was the weight of him.
30
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:02,720
Shortly after that experience in 1978, I had another encounter with the Spirit.
31
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:07,800
And if anybody experienced what I am about to share with you,
32
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,240
they would say the same exact thing that I'm going to say right now.
33
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:17,800
What I saw that night, John, was above anything that my mind could have fabricated.
34
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,440
In other words, I saw something that night, shortly after my initial encounter with the Lord in 1978,
35
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:29,440
I saw something that was beyond anything that the human mind could have fabricated.
36
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,440
I literally saw into the spirit world.
37
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,480
And I saw two spirits.
38
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,920
I saw a spirit of white life.
39
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:40,560
The spirit of white life was sealed.
40
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,560
It was shaped like an egg.
41
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,080
It appeared to be about three feet long and maybe about a foot and a half high.
42
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,640
Every part of it was pulsating with life.
43
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:57,240
Every part of the sealed, self-contained spirit of white life that was shaped like an egg was in motion.
44
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,880
It was continuous, continuously bubbling up newness of life.
45
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,960
It was everlasting life.
46
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,680
I believe I saw God's uncreated life.
47
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,120
I believe I saw the spirit that He gives, each one of us that are born again of Him.
48
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,000
While all around the sealed and self-contained spirit of white life was darkness.
49
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,560
Everywhere else was darkness.
50
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,960
The spirit of life was sealed and self-contained.
51
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,240
But all around that spirit of white life was darkness.
52
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,600
On the outside of it, the darkness was alive.
53
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,800
It wasn't just the absence of light, John.
54
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,960
It was a living darkness.
55
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:43,320
The interesting thing is the darkness moved in a completely different way
56
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,200
than the spirit of life moved.
57
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,680
And I could see the texture of the darkness.
58
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:53,320
The texture of the darkness, the fabric of it, was completely different than the spirit of white life.
59
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:59,920
The texture of the darkness was like a creepy, chaotic randomness.
60
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:07,480
And all I can tell you is I saw into the spirit realm, I saw life and I saw living darkness.
61
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,120
I never forgot it.
62
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,480
Shortly after I saw into the spirit world that night,
63
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,240
I was watching something on television.
64
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,040
I don't know what it was, but something bad was about to happen.
65
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,720
I don't know if somebody was about to get attacked or what it was.
66
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,600
All I know is that someone was about to get assaulted in some way.
67
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,600
And as this assault was about to unfold on the television screen,
68
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,920
some music started playing through the television set.
69
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,000
And I realized, John, when I heard the music,
70
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,400
that the music that was leading up to this fearful assault
71
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:43,680
was a musical projection of that darkness that I saw in the spirit world.
72
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,760
That it was actually that darkness that was put to the music.
73
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,440
So the darkness can project itself into the earth,
74
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,680
whether it's through music, through words, through actions,
75
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,760
even as the spirit of life projects into the world through God's people
76
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,640
and through God's hand in the world.
77
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,720
Now, why am I saying this in connection to what I prophesied last year, about 2025?
78
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,040
The first thing that I noticed about the darkness when I saw the spirit of life
79
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,880
surrounded by that spirit of darkness was the movement of the darkness,
80
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,840
the fabric of it, was random chaos.
81
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:19,840
The spirit of life had a grace to it.
82
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:24,200
It was like supernatural, beautiful, graceful coordination.
83
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,920
But the darkness that I saw surrounding it that was every place else,
84
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,280
it was random chaos.
85
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:35,040
And so I believe that Satan was come to steal and kill and destroy.
86
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,600
The first thing he does to break down order, to bring final destruction,
87
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,240
is he brings chaos.
88
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,000
Because when you have chaos and you have no order,
89
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,920
destruction shortly ensues.
90
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,480
And so we are more and more seeing the fabric of society being torn down,
91
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,440
particularly now, through the breakthrough of AI.
92
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,920
You know, last time when we had talked, we knew about AI,
93
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,600
and I'm not a tech guy, so there's a lot of people there
94
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,600
that were a lot more familiar with it than I was.
95
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,920
I heard about it, I heard that it was coming.
96
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,600
I knew it was out there, but I didn't have much personal experience with it.
97
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,840
But all of a sudden, this last year, since I prophesied in 2024,
98
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:17,520
there's going to be an increase of chaos.
99
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,120
All of a sudden this year, I'm going on Google doing a search,
100
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,880
and at the top of my Google search, oftentimes I'm seeing AI overview.
101
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,160
So now AI is breaking in commonplace.
102
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,440
Here's the problem.
103
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,480
AI, what an incredible tool.
104
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:38,640
The problem is that Satan takes these advancements of mankind
105
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,920
that seem like they're great tools at first,
106
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,000
and we bite into them because they make life easier and they're more efficient,
107
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,080
and they could be used in a helpful way,
108
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,920
but over time what happens is he uses these tools
109
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,480
to bring man into the outer darkness,
110
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,840
and that is exactly what's going to be happening with AI.
111
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:02,720
AI, although it's an incredible tool, is going to be used of the devil
112
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:08,720
to create such misinformation that people won't know what is true and what's not true anymore.
113
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,600
We're already experiencing that, but beyond that,
114
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,520
as people are more and more connected to the Internet
115
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,800
and all the things that are coming to us through the Internet,
116
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:24,160
man is being drawn out of a biting in the seat of his own soul,
117
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,880
which is where God fellowships with us at,
118
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,160
and man is being brought out of that into that outer,
119
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,960
pseudo world of Internet space,
120
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,280
and as we move into that Internet space,
121
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,560
we're going to be captivated and overwhelmed by the darkness
122
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,560
filled with misinformation,
123
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,200
being brought out of real relationship,
124
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,040
and this is all a crelude for the final destruction
125
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,120
that Satan is seeking to bring upon the world.
126
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,400
Wow.
127
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,120
You know, I totally agree with what you're saying.
128
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,480
I think right now we're in that experimental spot
129
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,960
where it can be used for good and it can be used for evil,
130
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,080
but I think eventually it will do what you were saying,
131
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,920
and I've heard a lot of people talk about how they project
132
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,040
or they can foresee how this can be used
133
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,800
as something that would be like leading to the mark of the beast,
134
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,800
leading to the image of the beast,
135
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,960
giving, you know, having voice and things like that.
136
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,240
It is very imperative that the children of God,
137
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,880
you and me and everybody watching this,
138
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,560
have discernment for what is of the spirit and what is of the flesh
139
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,040
or what is of the demonic spirit.
140
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,400
Absolutely. You know, there's a lot of things being stated out there,
141
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,240
but I challenge any of our listeners right now
142
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,520
to look this up for themselves.
143
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:36,320
This is a fact.
144
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,320
This isn't something that I pulled off some Internet,
145
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,160
you know, this is actual fact.
146
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,000
It's written about in Steve Jobs authorized autobiography,
147
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,520
and the first Apple computer that basically made computers
148
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,000
the possession of every man, you know, every man's computer.
149
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,720
It wasn't just something in corporations anymore.
150
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,760
Now, everybody was buying their own personal computer,
151
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,840
which Apple was the pioneer in that.
152
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,000
The first Apple computer that became the kind of launchpad
153
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,080
for personal computers for humanity, it sold, John,
154
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,120
and this is a fact.
155
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:08,400
This is a fact.
156
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,080
I challenge anyone to look it up for themselves.
157
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,880
It sold for $666.66.
158
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,960
I don't believe that was an accident.
159
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,640
Steve Jobs speaks about that.
160
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,200
Why did they sell it for $666?
161
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,160
He had no idea it was connected to $666 in the book of Revelation.
162
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:26,800
You think about it.
163
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,480
He said it was just a business decision, $666.
164
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,640
Now you think of the symbol of Apple computer,
165
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,000
a bike out of an Apple.
166
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:35,600
What happened?
167
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,040
Man took a bite out of the tree of knowledge
168
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,040
of good and evil.
169
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,360
He wanted to know everything and be like God.
170
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,960
Okay, so it's all part of this quest for knowledge
171
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,560
that we're getting through the Internet.
172
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:49,920
And now we've got all these devices.
173
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,000
Think about it, the iPhone.
174
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,480
What's the first letter there?
175
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:55,040
Eye.
176
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:55,360
Yeah.
177
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,320
The iPad.
178
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,640
All the other eye devices.
179
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,880
I don't even, there's like five or six of them, I think.
180
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,440
I'm like, you know, the eye, whatever, all these eye,
181
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,480
it all starts with eye.
182
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,880
Satan said, I will ascend.
183
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,240
I will exalt myself.
184
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,200
I will do this.
185
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,880
And I'm telling you, brother, I mean, the writing is on the wall.
186
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,920
It's right in front of us, red, white, and blue.
187
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,040
And yet we continue to go on like it was in the days of Noah
188
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,000
when men were eating and drinking, completely oblivious
189
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,920
to the fact that the flood was about to hit them.
190
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:25,520
Yeah.
191
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,640
And as we're talking about this, I'm using an Apple computer.
192
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,080
I believe you are as well.
193
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,600
And we both have iPhones too.
194
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,080
So we're not completely immune to this in ourselves.
195
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,160
But we need to use discernment about this.
196
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,840
And I do think it's kind of funny that, you know,
197
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,640
how we're even talking right now is through that very technology
198
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,160
that we need to be wary of.
199
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,360
Yeah. I mean, it's like you can't, like thinking of AI, OK?
200
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,560
So what are you going to do?
201
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:52,560
Are you going to say, oh, I believe AI is going to be used
202
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:54,160
in the devil, et cetera?
203
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,800
So I'm not going to, you can't really get away from using AI
204
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,960
because almost everything we do is coming to a place
205
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,880
where it's going to be tied into the AI.
206
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,120
So we can't get away from it, just like you're saying.
207
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,200
We're using our Apple computers right now.
208
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:10,160
But what we need to do is have a boundary up in our life.
209
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,520
And we need to ask ourselves, like, if you're a preacher,
210
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,120
you know, don't go to AI to craft your sermons for you.
211
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,320
You know, you need to be inspired by the Word of the Lord.
212
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,760
You need to be inspired by God.
213
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,840
I'm not saying you can't use these things for help,
214
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,440
but I think a lot of people, they're just,
215
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,840
it's kind of like people can't read maps anymore.
216
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,600
We have to think of ourselves.
217
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,000
If we're just relying on AI, it's going to captivate us
218
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,480
in such a way that we're going to become passive.
219
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,880
And rather than thinking for ourselves,
220
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,880
somebody else is going to think for us.
221
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,760
And you don't want somebody else thinking for you.
222
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:46,160
Yeah. And I know this is one of the things
223
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,760
that you and I were just talking about,
224
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,120
that, you know, where do we go in this conversation?
225
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,840
We don't want somebody else thinking for us.
226
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,280
We need to be searching the Scriptures ourselves.
227
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,880
And I think this ties into the, what is it,
228
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,760
the unhealthy hunger for prophetic words.
229
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,440
You know, it's so true.
230
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,800
I want to say, I think we're going to be able to do that.
231
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,880
I want to say, first of all, as somebody that does hear
232
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,120
from the Lord at times, I mean, I came to the Lord
233
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,120
supernaturally through a vision of the night.
234
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,640
The Lord has spoken to me many times through visions of the night.
235
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,640
I hear this voice of the Spirit at times.
236
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,720
I'm very open and very desirous for all the gifts of the Spirit.
237
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,840
And I think that anyone that is not open to the gifts of the Spirit
238
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,640
is really hurting themselves because it's hard to be,
239
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,400
as aware of God as we want to be,
240
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,520
and he wants us to be, if we're not open to the gifts of the Spirit.
241
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,600
But unfortunately, I have seen there is such an unquenchable,
242
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,800
insatiable desire amongst many of God's people
243
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,840
for the next prophetic word that it's like they're being led around
244
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,320
by something that really, it's not of the Lord.
245
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,920
I mean, Jesus said to people that said, show us a sign.
246
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,120
Jesus said it's an evil and perverse generation that seeks for a sign.
247
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,720
In other words, we can't just be going from one YouTube video
248
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,200
with the next, you know, alert prophetic word for April.
249
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,400
You know, alert prophetic word for May.
250
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,520
And we go from one YouTube video to another YouTube video
251
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,880
with the spectacular headlines of the next prophetic word.
252
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,000
Meantime, eight times out of ten.
253
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,960
I don't know what the number is exactly.
254
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,960
The prophetic words don't come to pass.
255
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,440
They're not truly prophetic.
256
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,280
And yet the prophets never take responsibility too many times
257
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,280
for the false prophetic words that they've given
258
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,720
that have never come to pass.
259
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,680
They just keep moving on, giving the next prophetic word
260
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:47,120
without missing a beat.
261
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,280
And unfortunately, this greaves me so much that God's people,
262
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,360
they just keep enlisting to the same people
263
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,760
that keep kept giving in the prophetic words that never happened.
264
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,680
It's like, what is going on?
265
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:02,000
The purpose of prophecy is to lead us to Jesus
266
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,240
and to make sure that we're ready to meet Him.
267
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,800
We can't be giving all our time and energy
268
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,080
to watch the next YouTube prophetic word
269
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,000
and then the next one without actually getting ready to meet the Lord,
270
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,720
which happens by studying God's written word, living by it,
271
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:24,160
crucifying the flesh, living by the Spirit, picking up our cross,
272
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,280
living a life of obedience by the grace of the Spirit
273
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,000
to the best of our ability, fighting the fight.
274
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,440
This is a fight that we're in and overcoming, growing in love.
275
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,680
Growing in truth, not just chasing around the next
276
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,440
spectacular prophetic word.
277
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,200
That is lunacy to me.
278
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,120
Yeah, I just want to be clear.
279
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,360
We're not speaking against prophecy.
280
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,600
We're not speaking against prophetic words,
281
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,520
even prophetic word for the next year.
282
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,440
Whenever God speaks prophetically, it's true.
283
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,160
We're talking about the sensational people
284
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,040
that are being thrown around from every wind of doctrine,
285
00:14:59,040 --> 00:14:59,840
we can say that.
286
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:04,960
Well, yes, I think we need to, number one, recognize that we should,
287
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,840
as God's people, have a standard.
288
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,280
I mean, prophecy is the apostles, the prophets,
289
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,440
the evangelists, the pastors and teachers.
290
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,760
These are the five full ministry offices
291
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,360
that God builds the church with.
292
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,120
But we need to be careful who we're listening to.
293
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,200
And we test the prophets.
294
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,200
The Bible says test the spirits.
295
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,040
And so make sure that when you're digesting prophetic words,
296
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,320
that the person or persons that you're listening to
297
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,960
have somewhat of a track record,
298
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,280
where you can trust what they're saying.
299
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,200
And then also recognize that we do see through a glass dimly now.
300
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,960
Okay, so we have some room for, there's a margin of grace here,
301
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:45,760
even in the Hebrew.
302
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,920
A margin of error, a margin of grace, yeah.
303
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:48,800
Yeah, yeah.
304
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,000
Even though in the Hebrew Bible,
305
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,560
if a prophet spoke a false word, that was it, it was over.
306
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,040
But I think that what's going on, John,
307
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,040
here's the simple truth.
308
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,040
You look at YouTube, okay?
309
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,040
You look at the people that are putting out,
310
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,240
and every week it's a new spectacular prophetic word.
311
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,240
You look at the thumbnail of the YouTube.
312
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,760
You look at the title of the YouTube.
313
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:08,960
It's sensationalism.
314
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,040
Like, you better listen to this, you know,
315
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,200
because this is gonna, there's a major,
316
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,280
major thing that's about to happen,
317
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,480
and you need to know about it.
318
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,080
Every week it's a new one.
319
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,000
You look at those videos,
320
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
and I don't know what the exact numbers are,
321
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,080
but let's say in a week, there's 400, 500, 300,
322
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,200
500,000, 600,000 views on it.
323
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:30,880
Every single time one comes out.
324
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,840
Then you compare that 500,000 spectacular new prophetic word
325
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,000
video that comes out every week.
326
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,400
Oftentimes those words don't come to pass,
327
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,720
and you compare that to a simple Bible teacher
328
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,680
that's truly teaching the word of God, line by line,
329
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,600
precept upon precept.
330
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,680
And you look at those YouTube videos,
331
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,320
and there's like 2,000 views on those.
332
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,200
And a lot of God's people that are chasing these
333
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,640
spectacular prophetic videos week after week,
334
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,640
they're not even reading God's word.
335
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,760
I'm talking about the literal, written word of God.
336
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,840
There's an imbalance, and it's like a child
337
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,480
that wants to just keep eating candy,
338
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:15,840
and they don't want to eat their fruits,
339
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,360
and they don't want to eat their vegetables.
340
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:19,440
They just want to eat the candy.
341
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,120
And we need to be aware of not being led
342
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:26,880
by the spectacular, but we need to be focused
343
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,880
on Godly discipline and have a Bible reading habit
344
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,000
and discipline in our life,
345
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,640
where we're reading a portion of God's word every day
346
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,960
and applying spiritual discipline
347
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,320
and taking up the cross and living a life of obedience.
348
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,560
This is how we get ready to meet Jesus,
349
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,560
not just by running after the next prophetic word every week.
350
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,880
Yeah, we don't want to run after every prophetic word.
351
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,240
We want to test those ones.
352
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,040
And one of the ways that I look at this
353
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,600
and test those prophetic words is,
354
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,960
does this line up with what God has already spoken to me
355
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,640
through His word and through the Spirit?
356
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,840
Because prophecy that's up there and that's public,
357
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,520
for the most part, should just confirm
358
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,280
what God's already spoken to you.
359
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,200
That, for me, is kind of like the first test.
360
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,120
But you need to dig in deep and say,
361
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,240
does this actually line up with the word of God,
362
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,440
the written word of God?
363
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,920
And, you know, there's a little bit of a room for interpretation,
364
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,080
but there is the truth in there, for sure.
365
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,080
For sure. And if you think about this,
366
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,160
if you read the Brighadoshah, the New Testament,
367
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,160
how much does the New Testament actually talk
368
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,520
about any particular world government leader?
369
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,560
How much does the New Testament actually talk
370
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,560
about any particular country?
371
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,600
How much does the New Testament actually talk about politics?
372
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,720
Politics. Very, very little.
373
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,200
On the other hand, when Jesus stood before Pilate,
374
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,160
He said, my kingdom is not of this world.
375
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,440
We need to recognize that a lot of the prophecy
376
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,560
that people are following around is rooted
377
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,280
in a very temporary sphere of life
378
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,000
that isn't actually the eternal bigger picture.
379
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,840
Governments come and go.
380
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,360
Political leaders come and go.
381
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:14,000
We should not be chasing that around
382
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
as fiercely as many are.
383
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,840
Those things are continually changing.
384
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,160
What we do know is that the world
385
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,840
is going to continue to break down.
386
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,000
The New Testament is very clear about this.
387
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,440
The darkness will increase.
388
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,520
The things will go from bad to worse.
389
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,800
That we need to get ready.
390
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,320
That we need to prepare ourselves.
391
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,120
That we need to study to show ourselves approved.
392
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:36,560
But too many of God's people are following prophecies
393
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,720
that are focused on the temporal,
394
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,480
rather than understanding that our kingdom
395
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,360
is not of this world and living a life
396
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:45,360
with the weight of eternity upon us.
397
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,320
Yeah. So, Rabbi, I kind of feel funny
398
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,240
actually asking this next question.
399
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,560
But what do you feel that God is saying
400
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:55,840
for the year 2025?
401
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,160
Well, first of all, I want to say personally,
402
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:58,880
I am hopeful.
403
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,480
I want to say despite everything I've said,
404
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:01,120
I'm hopeful.
405
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:03,120
I am hopeful with Donald Trump.
406
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:04,720
I don't know what's going to happen.
407
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,040
I'm not prophesying anything,
408
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:07,840
but I am hopeful.
409
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:08,880
I'm thankful.
410
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,440
It seems to me that he's grown a great deal
411
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,400
in his wisdom.
412
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,120
In his articulation, the way that he's handling himself,
413
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:19,600
the people that he's putting around him
414
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,880
as his cabinet members.
415
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,600
So I'm delighted with the results of the election.
416
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,680
I'm delighted with the swing of politics right now.
417
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,680
And I think it gives us an opportunity
418
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,680
in the United States for self-correction.
419
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,280
Will we reach the fullness of the potential
420
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,120
that appears to be before us right now?
421
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:38,880
Time will tell how things unfold.
422
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,520
We're also in a very dangerous time right now.
423
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,760
We're in a time that we've never faced before.
424
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,320
We've never been in a time where there are so many
425
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,920
hostile enemies of America that have nuclear capabilities
426
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:54,640
with alliances being formed by the United States' enemies
427
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,640
to stand up to us militarily and to be able to try
428
00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,520
to rise up and say,
429
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:00,960
we're not going to let you push us around.
430
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,360
So we're living in a very dangerous time.
431
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:04,480
So I am hopeful.
432
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:05,520
I'm optimistic.
433
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,280
But I also recognize that it's a very perilous time as well.
434
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,680
And we don't quite know where it's going to go.
435
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,520
We should pray for Donald Trump.
436
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,520
I'm excited about what's going on.
437
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,280
But we also need to recognize, regardless of what happens
438
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,680
over the next four years, eight years, 12 years,
439
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,480
or whatever it is, we know that eventually
440
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,160
what's going to happen is that Paul said,
441
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:33,680
know this and the last days evil imposters will come.
442
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,680
Things will go from bad to worse.
443
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,880
Men will become lovers of self rather than lovers of God.
444
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,680
Jesus said, nation will rise against nation.
445
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,520
Kingdom against kingdom.
446
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,920
And these words, nation and kingdom,
447
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,640
they don't necessarily just have to do with a political,
448
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,480
geographical location.
449
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,520
It has to do with people's persuasion of mind,
450
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,440
like what we're seeing in the States right now
451
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,040
with the country divided in terms of what they think
452
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,440
is a true vision for America.
453
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,920
Kingdom, one political camp sees this vision for America.
454
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,720
Another political camp sees another vision for America.
455
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,320
Kingdom against kingdom.
456
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,880
Jesus says all these things are going to happen
457
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,880
and they're going to increase like birth paint.
458
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:15,920
It's going to get worse.
459
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,040
We all know the story.
460
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,080
What's a birth paint?
461
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,640
It's the beginning signs of someone about to give birth.
462
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,680
The contractions start, then they get more and more severe.
463
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,480
They come more and more convulsing together.
464
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,880
So we should just understand with AI
465
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,720
and some of the other things we could talk about,
466
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,720
this is not a time to fool around.
467
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,120
It's not a time to just focus on looking
468
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:37,120
for the next spectacular prophecy.
469
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:40,240
It's a time to get seriously rooted in the word of God.
470
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,240
It's a time to separate ourselves from the world,
471
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,440
to be as witness.
472
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,320
And it's a time by the grace of God to live righteously
473
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,480
and to make a difference and to take a stand.
474
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,720
Yeah, you know, as you were talking about all this,
475
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,720
I'm reminded of what you said at the beginning of this,
476
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,680
of our conversation here, where you had this vision
477
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,280
that God showed you the spirit of goodness.
478
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,680
And then with this white ball shaped like an egg,
479
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,080
all encompassed in that, or encased in that.
480
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,880
And then are surrounded by that was the chaos
481
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,880
and the darkness.
482
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,880
And we need to be focused and grounded in that good place
483
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,880
and that goodness of God, so that the chaos around us
484
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,480
in the world doesn't distract us and pull us away
485
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,880
or pull us into that.
486
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,480
If we are grounded in the word of God,
487
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,480
we're gonna stay in that safe place.
488
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,080
And I'm reminded at the beginning of creation,
489
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,280
what does it say?
490
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,080
That the Holy Spirit, the Spirit hovered over the waters,
491
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,680
the Spirit hovered over the chaos that was underneath it.
492
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,280
And that's where we need to rest and reside
493
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,080
despite what's going on in the world today.
494
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,280
Very, very well said.
495
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,880
I'm thinking, John, shortly after I came to know the Lord,
496
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,880
I had a strong encounter with the Father.
497
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,480
I knew specifically that this was the Father.
498
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,880
Again, it was in my sleep.
499
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,680
It wasn't a vision. It wasn't a dream.
500
00:23:58,680 --> 00:23:59,880
I don't know what to call it.
501
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,080
All I know is I never forgot it.
502
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,480
But the Lord one night came to me.
503
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,080
When I say came to me, I mean, all of a sudden, I was just in it.
504
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,480
And there was like a river of fire.
505
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,480
It was literally a river of fire flowing from the Father
506
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,080
into my soul.
507
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,480
Then back to the Father, it was like circling.
508
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,080
It was a river of fire.
509
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,880
And inside the river of fire,
510
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,080
the Father was speaking into my soul in fire.
511
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,480
And He was saying to me,
512
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:32,280
seize my word and don't let anything else in.
513
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,680
Seize my word and don't let anything else in.
514
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,880
Seize my word and don't let anything else in.
515
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,880
Seize my word and don't let anything else in.
516
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,080
And I was marked by that.
517
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,880
But I was confused because I said,
518
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,880
Lord, how do I seize Your word?
519
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,080
Like, how can I seize the entire Bible?
520
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,880
How do I seize the entire Bible?
521
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,880
I don't even know every scripture in the Bible.
522
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,880
How do I seize that entire thing?
523
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,280
So I was deeply confused.
524
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,080
And I was troubled because I knew,
525
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,680
I knew that the Father had spoken to me.
526
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,480
So I said, Lord, what is Your word?
527
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,080
And what is the word I'm supposed to seize?
528
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,680
Because I can't seize the entire Bible at one time.
529
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,880
So then I thought, well, maybe it's the particular portions
530
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,880
of the Bible that the Lord is highlighting to me
531
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,880
at any specific season in my life.
532
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,680
Like, for example, you're reading the Word
533
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:22,880
or you hear a sermon
534
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,080
and there's a particular part of the Bible
535
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,680
that the Holy Spirit is just putting weight on
536
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,080
and anchoring your soul in.
537
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,280
So we're supposed to really seize that
538
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,280
that the Father is speaking to us,
539
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,080
that He's taking that logos
540
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,480
and making it a rame award to us to seize that.
541
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:38,680
And I think that's true,
542
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:39,880
that we are supposed to do that
543
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,480
when the Spirit is speaking to us about something.
544
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:43,480
That's the word.
545
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:44,880
The Spirit speaks the word.
546
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,280
The word is the communication of God.
547
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,880
We're to seize it.
548
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,680
But then, John, the Lord even gave me further discernment
549
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,680
and He showed me that my word,
550
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,680
seize my word and don't let anything else in.
551
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,080
It's the entire Bible.
552
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,480
It's the portions of the Scripture
553
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,680
that the Spirit is highlighting to us.
554
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,480
But beyond that,
555
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,680
the word is the Spirit's communication.
556
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:16,480
And a lot of times the Spirit is subtly communicating to us
557
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,080
as sons and daughters,
558
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,680
something that we're not necessarily hearing a verbal word on,
559
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,280
but the Holy Spirit is just beginning to cause us
560
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,880
to become aware of something in our life
561
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,080
that He's wanting us to change.
562
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,680
He's wanting us to move into.
563
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,480
And we just sense it and it grows over time
564
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,680
and we become more aware of what He's saying to us over time.
565
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,680
And whatever that is that the Spirit is speaking to us,
566
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,280
we have to seize it and not let anything else in.
567
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,880
For example, in my life right now,
568
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,080
I'm becoming more and more aware just of the impulses of my heart,
569
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,480
of my disposition.
570
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,280
Like if there's an impulse of anger that's arising
571
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,080
because of impatience,
572
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,680
I need to put that boundary up.
573
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:06,280
I need to seize God's word of patience and long suffering
574
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,880
and I need to resist that feeling of anger and impatience
575
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,080
not letting it in.
576
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,280
So I seize God's word,
577
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,480
patience and long suffering
578
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,680
and I refuse to let in the spirit of stress
579
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,880
and anxiety and animosity that I'm experiencing
580
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,480
because I'm frustrated about something.
581
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,080
So I'm seizing God's word
582
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,080
and I'm not letting in the darkness,
583
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,680
the projection of the darkness
584
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,280
that would cause me to be selfish and impatient in.
585
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,480
Amen.
586
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,880
I mean, seizing that word of God is vitally important.
587
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,080
We need to hold on to that.
588
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,480
Don't let anything else in.
589
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,880
I love that that's what God spoke to you
590
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,080
in that encounter, that experience.
591
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,680
I don't even know what else to describe it as,
592
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,280
but I'm glad that you had the opportunity to have that
593
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,080
and that you're able to share that with us.
594
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,680
You know, Rabbi, as we're wrapping up here,
595
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,280
would you just pray for everybody that is watching this
596
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,880
that they would have that discernment
597
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,280
because there is a lot of prophetic words that are going out
598
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,480
and some of them are prophetic from the Lord,
599
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,280
some of them are prophetic from the flesh,
600
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,680
some of them are prophetic from the spirit of this world.
601
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,880
But could you just speak specifically
602
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,280
or pray specifically for the discernment,
603
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,280
especially going into 2025?
604
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,480
Thank you, my friend.
605
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,080
Well, I'm crying right now for everybody
606
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,280
whose heart is open and hungry and humble
607
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,080
and desires the Lord to do something
608
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,480
in your life and heart right now
609
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,080
as we move in particularly to this next season.
610
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,280
So, Father, to every one of your beloved children
611
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,680
that is humbly looking to you right now,
612
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,280
Father, just wanting you to do in their lives
613
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,680
whatever it is, Lord, it's pleasing to you,
614
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,080
whatever you want to do.
615
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,480
Father, we love you today.
616
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,680
Thank you, Father, for loving us.
617
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,280
And as we lift our hearts to you,
618
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,680
we ask you, Abba Daddy, to circumcise our hearts.
619
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,880
Father, circumcise our thoughts.
620
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,480
Give us ears to hear.
621
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,080
Help us to separate the voice of the enemy
622
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,880
and of misinformation and the voice of confusion
623
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,880
from your voice.
624
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,880
Father, thank you that you're a God of order.
625
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,080
And so, Father, we ask you to lead us
626
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,280
in the steps of righteousness.
627
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,280
God, that you'll help us to have discernment of heart,
628
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,080
discernment of motives, discernment of thoughts.
629
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,880
Jesus, you said that your sheep hear your voice
630
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,080
and a stranger's voice, they will not follow.
631
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,080
And you know that I've lifted this stuff to you
632
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,480
many times myself, Lord.
633
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,880
Help us to hear your voice more clearly
634
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,480
and to shut the door to the voice of the enemy
635
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,880
and to not let any disinformation or dark spirit in.
636
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,280
Jesus, we love you today.
637
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,480
Strengthen us to seize your word,
638
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,080
to love you, to obey you, and to not let anything else in.
639
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,880
Help us, Jesus, to abide in you and walk in your steps.
640
00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,880
We ask you to root us and ground us in the Word of God.
641
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,880
Amen and amen.
642
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,280
Rabbi Kurt Schneider, thank you so much
643
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,480
for taking the time to share with what God has done
644
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,280
in this last year that we talked about
645
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,280
and what we feel that God is preparing us for
646
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,480
and how we need to respond and react for what's coming ahead.
647
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,680
And that discernment is very, very key.
648
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,880
Rabbi, thank you so much for joining us today.
649
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:21,880
I love you, my friends.
650
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,080
It's great to be with you and all my friends at Charisma.
651
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:36,080
I love you guys.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,720
There are so many hostile enemies of America that have nuclear capabilities.
2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:10,560
The first thing he does to break down order, to bring final destruction, is he brings chaos.
3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,800
This is all prelude for the final destruction.
4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,840
Things will go from bad to worse.
5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,760
Men will become lovers of self rather than lovers of God.
6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,800
Nation will rise against nation.
7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:26,040
And so he uses these tools to bring man into the outer darkness.
8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,080
And that is exactly what's going to be happening.
9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:36,560
Rabbi Kurt Schneider, it's great to have you back here on Charisma to share what God is speaking to you about 2025.
10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:43,000
But before we get into that, we talked last year about what God was saying for 2024.
11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,480
And one of the things you said was that about the spirit of evil manifesting through chaos.
12
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:52,640
And I believe we did see that this last year.
13
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,440
And let's just kind of recap a little bit about that.
14
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,320
Yeah, years ago, I've been saved, John, since 1978.
15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:05,120
I was supernaturally brought to faith as many of our viewers know in our vision of the night as a Jewish person.
16
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,040
I knew nothing about Jesus.
17
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,040
He was as far away to me as the man on the moon.
18
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:15,920
But one hot August night in 1978, the Lord woke me from my sleep.
19
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,680
My eyes were still closed, but I was aware that something was happening.
20
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,720
And in that vision of the night, Jesus appeared on the cross.
21
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:23,720
It was in color.
22
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,480
I could see some people in the distance looking at him as he was being crucified.
23
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:33,640
And then a ray of red light from the heavens, from straight above the blue sky, came down on Jesus' head.
24
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,160
And when I saw that ray of red light, John, come down from the heavens on Jesus' head,
25
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,240
I understood that that ray of light, that beam of light was coming from God.
26
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,000
And that I understood also that that person on the cross was Jesus.
27
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,400
As an American, I knew enough to know that the person on the cross was Jesus,
28
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,040
even though I knew nothing about him, didn't understand anything about sin or anything.
29
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,920
But I knew that God had just shown me that Jesus was the weight of him.
30
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:02,720
Shortly after that experience in 1978, I had another encounter with the Spirit.
31
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:07,800
And if anybody experienced what I am about to share with you,
32
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,240
they would say the same exact thing that I'm going to say right now.
33
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:17,800
What I saw that night, John, was above anything that my mind could have fabricated.
34
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,440
In other words, I saw something that night, shortly after my initial encounter with the Lord in 1978,
35
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:29,440
I saw something that was beyond anything that the human mind could have fabricated.
36
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,440
I literally saw into the spirit world.
37
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,480
And I saw two spirits.
38
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,920
I saw a spirit of white life.
39
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:40,560
The spirit of white life was sealed.
40
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,560
It was shaped like an egg.
41
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,080
It appeared to be about three feet long and maybe about a foot and a half high.
42
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,640
Every part of it was pulsating with life.
43
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:57,240
Every part of the sealed, self-contained spirit of white life that was shaped like an egg was in motion.
44
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,880
It was continuous, continuously bubbling up newness of life.
45
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,960
It was everlasting life.
46
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,680
I believe I saw God's uncreated life.
47
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,120
I believe I saw the spirit that He gives, each one of us that are born again of Him.
48
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,000
While all around the sealed and self-contained spirit of white life was darkness.
49
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,560
Everywhere else was darkness.
50
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,960
The spirit of life was sealed and self-contained.
51
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,240
But all around that spirit of white life was darkness.
52
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,600
On the outside of it, the darkness was alive.
53
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,800
It wasn't just the absence of light, John.
54
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,960
It was a living darkness.
55
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:43,320
The interesting thing is the darkness moved in a completely different way
56
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,200
than the spirit of life moved.
57
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,680
And I could see the texture of the darkness.
58
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:53,320
The texture of the darkness, the fabric of it, was completely different than the spirit of white life.
59
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:59,920
The texture of the darkness was like a creepy, chaotic randomness.
60
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:07,480
And all I can tell you is I saw into the spirit realm, I saw life and I saw living darkness.
61
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,120
I never forgot it.
62
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,480
Shortly after I saw into the spirit world that night,
63
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,240
I was watching something on television.
64
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,040
I don't know what it was, but something bad was about to happen.
65
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,720
I don't know if somebody was about to get attacked or what it was.
66
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,600
All I know is that someone was about to get assaulted in some way.
67
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,600
And as this assault was about to unfold on the television screen,
68
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,920
some music started playing through the television set.
69
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,000
And I realized, John, when I heard the music,
70
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,400
that the music that was leading up to this fearful assault
71
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:43,680
was a musical projection of that darkness that I saw in the spirit world.
72
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,760
That it was actually that darkness that was put to the music.
73
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,440
So the darkness can project itself into the earth,
74
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,680
whether it's through music, through words, through actions,
75
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,760
even as the spirit of life projects into the world through God's people
76
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,640
and through God's hand in the world.
77
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,720
Now, why am I saying this in connection to what I prophesied last year, about 2025?
78
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,040
The first thing that I noticed about the darkness when I saw the spirit of life
79
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,880
surrounded by that spirit of darkness was the movement of the darkness,
80
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,840
the fabric of it, was random chaos.
81
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:19,840
The spirit of life had a grace to it.
82
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:24,200
It was like supernatural, beautiful, graceful coordination.
83
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,920
But the darkness that I saw surrounding it that was every place else,
84
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,280
it was random chaos.
85
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:35,040
And so I believe that Satan was come to steal and kill and destroy.
86
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,600
The first thing he does to break down order, to bring final destruction,
87
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,240
is he brings chaos.
88
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,000
Because when you have chaos and you have no order,
89
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,920
destruction shortly ensues.
90
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,480
And so we are more and more seeing the fabric of society being torn down,
91
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,440
particularly now, through the breakthrough of AI.
92
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,920
You know, last time when we had talked, we knew about AI,
93
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,600
and I'm not a tech guy, so there's a lot of people there
94
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,600
that were a lot more familiar with it than I was.
95
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,920
I heard about it, I heard that it was coming.
96
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,600
I knew it was out there, but I didn't have much personal experience with it.
97
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,840
But all of a sudden, this last year, since I prophesied in 2024,
98
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:17,520
there's going to be an increase of chaos.
99
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,120
All of a sudden this year, I'm going on Google doing a search,
100
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,880
and at the top of my Google search, oftentimes I'm seeing AI overview.
101
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,160
So now AI is breaking in commonplace.
102
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,440
Here's the problem.
103
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,480
AI, what an incredible tool.
104
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:38,640
The problem is that Satan takes these advancements of mankind
105
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,920
that seem like they're great tools at first,
106
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,000
and we bite into them because they make life easier and they're more efficient,
107
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,080
and they could be used in a helpful way,
108
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,920
but over time what happens is he uses these tools
109
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,480
to bring man into the outer darkness,
110
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,840
and that is exactly what's going to be happening with AI.
111
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:02,720
AI, although it's an incredible tool, is going to be used of the devil
112
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:08,720
to create such misinformation that people won't know what is true and what's not true anymore.
113
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,600
We're already experiencing that, but beyond that,
114
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,520
as people are more and more connected to the Internet
115
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,800
and all the things that are coming to us through the Internet,
116
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:24,160
man is being drawn out of a biting in the seat of his own soul,
117
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,880
which is where God fellowships with us at,
118
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,160
and man is being brought out of that into that outer,
119
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,960
pseudo world of Internet space,
120
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,280
and as we move into that Internet space,
121
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,560
we're going to be captivated and overwhelmed by the darkness
122
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,560
filled with misinformation,
123
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,200
being brought out of real relationship,
124
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,040
and this is all a crelude for the final destruction
125
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,120
that Satan is seeking to bring upon the world.
126
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,400
Wow.
127
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,120
You know, I totally agree with what you're saying.
128
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,480
I think right now we're in that experimental spot
129
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,960
where it can be used for good and it can be used for evil,
130
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,080
but I think eventually it will do what you were saying,
131
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,920
and I've heard a lot of people talk about how they project
132
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,040
or they can foresee how this can be used
133
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,800
as something that would be like leading to the mark of the beast,
134
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,800
leading to the image of the beast,
135
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,960
giving, you know, having voice and things like that.
136
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,240
It is very imperative that the children of God,
137
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,880
you and me and everybody watching this,
138
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,560
have discernment for what is of the spirit and what is of the flesh
139
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,040
or what is of the demonic spirit.
140
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,400
Absolutely. You know, there's a lot of things being stated out there,
141
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,240
but I challenge any of our listeners right now
142
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,520
to look this up for themselves.
143
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:36,320
This is a fact.
144
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,320
This isn't something that I pulled off some Internet,
145
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,160
you know, this is actual fact.
146
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,000
It's written about in Steve Jobs authorized autobiography,
147
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,520
and the first Apple computer that basically made computers
148
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,000
the possession of every man, you know, every man's computer.
149
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,720
It wasn't just something in corporations anymore.
150
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,760
Now, everybody was buying their own personal computer,
151
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,840
which Apple was the pioneer in that.
152
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,000
The first Apple computer that became the kind of launchpad
153
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,080
for personal computers for humanity, it sold, John,
154
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,120
and this is a fact.
155
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:08,400
This is a fact.
156
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,080
I challenge anyone to look it up for themselves.
157
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,880
It sold for $666.66.
158
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,960
I don't believe that was an accident.
159
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,640
Steve Jobs speaks about that.
160
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,200
Why did they sell it for $666?
161
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,160
He had no idea it was connected to $666 in the book of Revelation.
162
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:26,800
You think about it.
163
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,480
He said it was just a business decision, $666.
164
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,640
Now you think of the symbol of Apple computer,
165
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,000
a bike out of an Apple.
166
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:35,600
What happened?
167
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,040
Man took a bite out of the tree of knowledge
168
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,040
of good and evil.
169
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,360
He wanted to know everything and be like God.
170
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,960
Okay, so it's all part of this quest for knowledge
171
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,560
that we're getting through the Internet.
172
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:49,920
And now we've got all these devices.
173
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,000
Think about it, the iPhone.
174
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,480
What's the first letter there?
175
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:55,040
Eye.
176
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:55,360
Yeah.
177
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,320
The iPad.
178
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,640
All the other eye devices.
179
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,880
I don't even, there's like five or six of them, I think.
180
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,440
I'm like, you know, the eye, whatever, all these eye,
181
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,480
it all starts with eye.
182
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,880
Satan said, I will ascend.
183
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,240
I will exalt myself.
184
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,200
I will do this.
185
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,880
And I'm telling you, brother, I mean, the writing is on the wall.
186
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,920
It's right in front of us, red, white, and blue.
187
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,040
And yet we continue to go on like it was in the days of Noah
188
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,000
when men were eating and drinking, completely oblivious
189
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,920
to the fact that the flood was about to hit them.
190
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:25,520
Yeah.
191
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,640
And as we're talking about this, I'm using an Apple computer.
192
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,080
I believe you are as well.
193
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,600
And we both have iPhones too.
194
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,080
So we're not completely immune to this in ourselves.
195
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,160
But we need to use discernment about this.
196
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,840
And I do think it's kind of funny that, you know,
197
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,640
how we're even talking right now is through that very technology
198
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,160
that we need to be wary of.
199
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,360
Yeah. I mean, it's like you can't, like thinking of AI, OK?
200
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,560
So what are you going to do?
201
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:52,560
Are you going to say, oh, I believe AI is going to be used
202
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:54,160
in the devil, et cetera?
203
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,800
So I'm not going to, you can't really get away from using AI
204
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,960
because almost everything we do is coming to a place
205
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,880
where it's going to be tied into the AI.
206
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,120
So we can't get away from it, just like you're saying.
207
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,200
We're using our Apple computers right now.
208
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:10,160
But what we need to do is have a boundary up in our life.
209
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,520
And we need to ask ourselves, like, if you're a preacher,
210
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,120
you know, don't go to AI to craft your sermons for you.
211
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,320
You know, you need to be inspired by the Word of the Lord.
212
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,760
You need to be inspired by God.
213
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,840
I'm not saying you can't use these things for help,
214
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,440
but I think a lot of people, they're just,
215
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,840
it's kind of like people can't read maps anymore.
216
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,600
We have to think of ourselves.
217
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,000
If we're just relying on AI, it's going to captivate us
218
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,480
in such a way that we're going to become passive.
219
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,880
And rather than thinking for ourselves,
220
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,880
somebody else is going to think for us.
221
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,760
And you don't want somebody else thinking for you.
222
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:46,160
Yeah. And I know this is one of the things
223
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,760
that you and I were just talking about,
224
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,120
that, you know, where do we go in this conversation?
225
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,840
We don't want somebody else thinking for us.
226
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,280
We need to be searching the Scriptures ourselves.
227
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,880
And I think this ties into the, what is it,
228
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,760
the unhealthy hunger for prophetic words.
229
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,440
You know, it's so true.
230
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,800
I want to say, I think we're going to be able to do that.
231
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,880
I want to say, first of all, as somebody that does hear
232
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,120
from the Lord at times, I mean, I came to the Lord
233
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,120
supernaturally through a vision of the night.
234
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,640
The Lord has spoken to me many times through visions of the night.
235
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,640
I hear this voice of the Spirit at times.
236
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,720
I'm very open and very desirous for all the gifts of the Spirit.
237
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,840
And I think that anyone that is not open to the gifts of the Spirit
238
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,640
is really hurting themselves because it's hard to be,
239
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,400
as aware of God as we want to be,
240
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,520
and he wants us to be, if we're not open to the gifts of the Spirit.
241
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,600
But unfortunately, I have seen there is such an unquenchable,
242
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,800
insatiable desire amongst many of God's people
243
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,840
for the next prophetic word that it's like they're being led around
244
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,320
by something that really, it's not of the Lord.
245
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,920
I mean, Jesus said to people that said, show us a sign.
246
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,120
Jesus said it's an evil and perverse generation that seeks for a sign.
247
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,720
In other words, we can't just be going from one YouTube video
248
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,200
with the next, you know, alert prophetic word for April.
249
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,400
You know, alert prophetic word for May.
250
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,520
And we go from one YouTube video to another YouTube video
251
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,880
with the spectacular headlines of the next prophetic word.
252
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,000
Meantime, eight times out of ten.
253
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,960
I don't know what the number is exactly.
254
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,960
The prophetic words don't come to pass.
255
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,440
They're not truly prophetic.
256
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,280
And yet the prophets never take responsibility too many times
257
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,280
for the false prophetic words that they've given
258
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,720
that have never come to pass.
259
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,680
They just keep moving on, giving the next prophetic word
260
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:47,120
without missing a beat.
261
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,280
And unfortunately, this greaves me so much that God's people,
262
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,360
they just keep enlisting to the same people
263
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,760
that keep kept giving in the prophetic words that never happened.
264
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,680
It's like, what is going on?
265
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:02,000
The purpose of prophecy is to lead us to Jesus
266
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,240
and to make sure that we're ready to meet Him.
267
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,800
We can't be giving all our time and energy
268
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,080
to watch the next YouTube prophetic word
269
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,000
and then the next one without actually getting ready to meet the Lord,
270
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,720
which happens by studying God's written word, living by it,
271
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:24,160
crucifying the flesh, living by the Spirit, picking up our cross,
272
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,280
living a life of obedience by the grace of the Spirit
273
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,000
to the best of our ability, fighting the fight.
274
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,440
This is a fight that we're in and overcoming, growing in love.
275
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,680
Growing in truth, not just chasing around the next
276
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,440
spectacular prophetic word.
277
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,200
That is lunacy to me.
278
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,120
Yeah, I just want to be clear.
279
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,360
We're not speaking against prophecy.
280
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,600
We're not speaking against prophetic words,
281
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,520
even prophetic word for the next year.
282
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,440
Whenever God speaks prophetically, it's true.
283
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,160
We're talking about the sensational people
284
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,040
that are being thrown around from every wind of doctrine,
285
00:14:59,040 --> 00:14:59,840
we can say that.
286
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:04,960
Well, yes, I think we need to, number one, recognize that we should,
287
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,840
as God's people, have a standard.
288
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,280
I mean, prophecy is the apostles, the prophets,
289
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,440
the evangelists, the pastors and teachers.
290
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,760
These are the five full ministry offices
291
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,360
that God builds the church with.
292
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,120
But we need to be careful who we're listening to.
293
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,200
And we test the prophets.
294
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,200
The Bible says test the spirits.
295
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,040
And so make sure that when you're digesting prophetic words,
296
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,320
that the person or persons that you're listening to
297
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,960
have somewhat of a track record,
298
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,280
where you can trust what they're saying.
299
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,200
And then also recognize that we do see through a glass dimly now.
300
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,960
Okay, so we have some room for, there's a margin of grace here,
301
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:45,760
even in the Hebrew.
302
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,920
A margin of error, a margin of grace, yeah.
303
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:48,800
Yeah, yeah.
304
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,000
Even though in the Hebrew Bible,
305
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,560
if a prophet spoke a false word, that was it, it was over.
306
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,040
But I think that what's going on, John,
307
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,040
here's the simple truth.
308
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,040
You look at YouTube, okay?
309
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,040
You look at the people that are putting out,
310
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,240
and every week it's a new spectacular prophetic word.
311
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,240
You look at the thumbnail of the YouTube.
312
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,760
You look at the title of the YouTube.
313
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:08,960
It's sensationalism.
314
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,040
Like, you better listen to this, you know,
315
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,200
because this is gonna, there's a major,
316
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,280
major thing that's about to happen,
317
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,480
and you need to know about it.
318
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,080
Every week it's a new one.
319
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,000
You look at those videos,
320
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
and I don't know what the exact numbers are,
321
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,080
but let's say in a week, there's 400, 500, 300,
322
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,200
500,000, 600,000 views on it.
323
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:30,880
Every single time one comes out.
324
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,840
Then you compare that 500,000 spectacular new prophetic word
325
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,000
video that comes out every week.
326
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,400
Oftentimes those words don't come to pass,
327
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,720
and you compare that to a simple Bible teacher
328
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,680
that's truly teaching the word of God, line by line,
329
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,600
precept upon precept.
330
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,680
And you look at those YouTube videos,
331
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,320
and there's like 2,000 views on those.
332
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,200
And a lot of God's people that are chasing these
333
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,640
spectacular prophetic videos week after week,
334
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,640
they're not even reading God's word.
335
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,760
I'm talking about the literal, written word of God.
336
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,840
There's an imbalance, and it's like a child
337
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,480
that wants to just keep eating candy,
338
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:15,840
and they don't want to eat their fruits,
339
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,360
and they don't want to eat their vegetables.
340
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:19,440
They just want to eat the candy.
341
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,120
And we need to be aware of not being led
342
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:26,880
by the spectacular, but we need to be focused
343
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,880
on Godly discipline and have a Bible reading habit
344
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,000
and discipline in our life,
345
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,640
where we're reading a portion of God's word every day
346
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,960
and applying spiritual discipline
347
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,320
and taking up the cross and living a life of obedience.
348
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,560
This is how we get ready to meet Jesus,
349
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,560
not just by running after the next prophetic word every week.
350
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,880
Yeah, we don't want to run after every prophetic word.
351
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,240
We want to test those ones.
352
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,040
And one of the ways that I look at this
353
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,600
and test those prophetic words is,
354
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,960
does this line up with what God has already spoken to me
355
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,640
through His word and through the Spirit?
356
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,840
Because prophecy that's up there and that's public,
357
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,520
for the most part, should just confirm
358
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,280
what God's already spoken to you.
359
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,200
That, for me, is kind of like the first test.
360
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,120
But you need to dig in deep and say,
361
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,240
does this actually line up with the word of God,
362
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,440
the written word of God?
363
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,920
And, you know, there's a little bit of a room for interpretation,
364
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,080
but there is the truth in there, for sure.
365
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,080
For sure. And if you think about this,
366
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,160
if you read the Brighadoshah, the New Testament,
367
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,160
how much does the New Testament actually talk
368
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,520
about any particular world government leader?
369
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,560
How much does the New Testament actually talk
370
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,560
about any particular country?
371
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,600
How much does the New Testament actually talk about politics?
372
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,720
Politics. Very, very little.
373
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,200
On the other hand, when Jesus stood before Pilate,
374
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,160
He said, my kingdom is not of this world.
375
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,440
We need to recognize that a lot of the prophecy
376
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,560
that people are following around is rooted
377
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,280
in a very temporary sphere of life
378
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,000
that isn't actually the eternal bigger picture.
379
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,840
Governments come and go.
380
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,360
Political leaders come and go.
381
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:14,000
We should not be chasing that around
382
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
as fiercely as many are.
383
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,840
Those things are continually changing.
384
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,160
What we do know is that the world
385
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,840
is going to continue to break down.
386
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,000
The New Testament is very clear about this.
387
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,440
The darkness will increase.
388
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,520
The things will go from bad to worse.
389
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,800
That we need to get ready.
390
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,320
That we need to prepare ourselves.
391
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,120
That we need to study to show ourselves approved.
392
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:36,560
But too many of God's people are following prophecies
393
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,720
that are focused on the temporal,
394
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,480
rather than understanding that our kingdom
395
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,360
is not of this world and living a life
396
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:45,360
with the weight of eternity upon us.
397
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,320
Yeah. So, Rabbi, I kind of feel funny
398
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,240
actually asking this next question.
399
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,560
But what do you feel that God is saying
400
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:55,840
for the year 2025?
401
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,160
Well, first of all, I want to say personally,
402
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:58,880
I am hopeful.
403
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,480
I want to say despite everything I've said,
404
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:01,120
I'm hopeful.
405
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:03,120
I am hopeful with Donald Trump.
406
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:04,720
I don't know what's going to happen.
407
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,040
I'm not prophesying anything,
408
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:07,840
but I am hopeful.
409
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:08,880
I'm thankful.
410
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,440
It seems to me that he's grown a great deal
411
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,400
in his wisdom.
412
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,120
In his articulation, the way that he's handling himself,
413
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:19,600
the people that he's putting around him
414
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,880
as his cabinet members.
415
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,600
So I'm delighted with the results of the election.
416
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,680
I'm delighted with the swing of politics right now.
417
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,680
And I think it gives us an opportunity
418
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,680
in the United States for self-correction.
419
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,280
Will we reach the fullness of the potential
420
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,120
that appears to be before us right now?
421
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:38,880
Time will tell how things unfold.
422
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,520
We're also in a very dangerous time right now.
423
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,760
We're in a time that we've never faced before.
424
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,320
We've never been in a time where there are so many
425
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,920
hostile enemies of America that have nuclear capabilities
426
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:54,640
with alliances being formed by the United States' enemies
427
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,640
to stand up to us militarily and to be able to try
428
00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,520
to rise up and say,
429
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:00,960
we're not going to let you push us around.
430
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,360
So we're living in a very dangerous time.
431
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:04,480
So I am hopeful.
432
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:05,520
I'm optimistic.
433
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,280
But I also recognize that it's a very perilous time as well.
434
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,680
And we don't quite know where it's going to go.
435
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,520
We should pray for Donald Trump.
436
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,520
I'm excited about what's going on.
437
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,280
But we also need to recognize, regardless of what happens
438
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,680
over the next four years, eight years, 12 years,
439
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,480
or whatever it is, we know that eventually
440
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,160
what's going to happen is that Paul said,
441
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:33,680
know this and the last days evil imposters will come.
442
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,680
Things will go from bad to worse.
443
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,880
Men will become lovers of self rather than lovers of God.
444
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,680
Jesus said, nation will rise against nation.
445
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,520
Kingdom against kingdom.
446
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,920
And these words, nation and kingdom,
447
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,640
they don't necessarily just have to do with a political,
448
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,480
geographical location.
449
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,520
It has to do with people's persuasion of mind,
450
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,440
like what we're seeing in the States right now
451
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,040
with the country divided in terms of what they think
452
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,440
is a true vision for America.
453
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,920
Kingdom, one political camp sees this vision for America.
454
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,720
Another political camp sees another vision for America.
455
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,320
Kingdom against kingdom.
456
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,880
Jesus says all these things are going to happen
457
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,880
and they're going to increase like birth paint.
458
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:15,920
It's going to get worse.
459
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,040
We all know the story.
460
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,080
What's a birth paint?
461
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,640
It's the beginning signs of someone about to give birth.
462
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,680
The contractions start, then they get more and more severe.
463
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,480
They come more and more convulsing together.
464
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,880
So we should just understand with AI
465
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,720
and some of the other things we could talk about,
466
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,720
this is not a time to fool around.
467
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,120
It's not a time to just focus on looking
468
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:37,120
for the next spectacular prophecy.
469
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:40,240
It's a time to get seriously rooted in the word of God.
470
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,240
It's a time to separate ourselves from the world,
471
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,440
to be as witness.
472
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,320
And it's a time by the grace of God to live righteously
473
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,480
and to make a difference and to take a stand.
474
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,720
Yeah, you know, as you were talking about all this,
475
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,720
I'm reminded of what you said at the beginning of this,
476
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,680
of our conversation here, where you had this vision
477
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,280
that God showed you the spirit of goodness.
478
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,680
And then with this white ball shaped like an egg,
479
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,080
all encompassed in that, or encased in that.
480
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,880
And then are surrounded by that was the chaos
481
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,880
and the darkness.
482
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,880
And we need to be focused and grounded in that good place
483
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,880
and that goodness of God, so that the chaos around us
484
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,480
in the world doesn't distract us and pull us away
485
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,880
or pull us into that.
486
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,480
If we are grounded in the word of God,
487
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,480
we're gonna stay in that safe place.
488
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,080
And I'm reminded at the beginning of creation,
489
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,280
what does it say?
490
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,080
That the Holy Spirit, the Spirit hovered over the waters,
491
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,680
the Spirit hovered over the chaos that was underneath it.
492
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,280
And that's where we need to rest and reside
493
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,080
despite what's going on in the world today.
494
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,280
Very, very well said.
495
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,880
I'm thinking, John, shortly after I came to know the Lord,
496
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,880
I had a strong encounter with the Father.
497
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,480
I knew specifically that this was the Father.
498
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,880
Again, it was in my sleep.
499
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,680
It wasn't a vision. It wasn't a dream.
500
00:23:58,680 --> 00:23:59,880
I don't know what to call it.
501
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,080
All I know is I never forgot it.
502
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,480
But the Lord one night came to me.
503
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,080
When I say came to me, I mean, all of a sudden, I was just in it.
504
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,480
And there was like a river of fire.
505
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,480
It was literally a river of fire flowing from the Father
506
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,080
into my soul.
507
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,480
Then back to the Father, it was like circling.
508
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,080
It was a river of fire.
509
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,880
And inside the river of fire,
510
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,080
the Father was speaking into my soul in fire.
511
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,480
And He was saying to me,
512
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:32,280
seize my word and don't let anything else in.
513
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,680
Seize my word and don't let anything else in.
514
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,880
Seize my word and don't let anything else in.
515
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,880
Seize my word and don't let anything else in.
516
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,080
And I was marked by that.
517
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,880
But I was confused because I said,
518
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,880
Lord, how do I seize Your word?
519
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,080
Like, how can I seize the entire Bible?
520
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,880
How do I seize the entire Bible?
521
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,880
I don't even know every scripture in the Bible.
522
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,880
How do I seize that entire thing?
523
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,280
So I was deeply confused.
524
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,080
And I was troubled because I knew,
525
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,680
I knew that the Father had spoken to me.
526
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,480
So I said, Lord, what is Your word?
527
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,080
And what is the word I'm supposed to seize?
528
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,680
Because I can't seize the entire Bible at one time.
529
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,880
So then I thought, well, maybe it's the particular portions
530
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,880
of the Bible that the Lord is highlighting to me
531
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,880
at any specific season in my life.
532
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,680
Like, for example, you're reading the Word
533
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:22,880
or you hear a sermon
534
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,080
and there's a particular part of the Bible
535
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,680
that the Holy Spirit is just putting weight on
536
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,080
and anchoring your soul in.
537
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,280
So we're supposed to really seize that
538
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,280
that the Father is speaking to us,
539
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,080
that He's taking that logos
540
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,480
and making it a rame award to us to seize that.
541
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:38,680
And I think that's true,
542
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:39,880
that we are supposed to do that
543
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,480
when the Spirit is speaking to us about something.
544
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:43,480
That's the word.
545
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:44,880
The Spirit speaks the word.
546
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,280
The word is the communication of God.
547
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,880
We're to seize it.
548
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,680
But then, John, the Lord even gave me further discernment
549
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,680
and He showed me that my word,
550
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,680
seize my word and don't let anything else in.
551
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,080
It's the entire Bible.
552
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,480
It's the portions of the Scripture
553
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,680
that the Spirit is highlighting to us.
554
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,480
But beyond that,
555
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,680
the word is the Spirit's communication.
556
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:16,480
And a lot of times the Spirit is subtly communicating to us
557
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,080
as sons and daughters,
558
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,680
something that we're not necessarily hearing a verbal word on,
559
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,280
but the Holy Spirit is just beginning to cause us
560
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,880
to become aware of something in our life
561
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,080
that He's wanting us to change.
562
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,680
He's wanting us to move into.
563
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,480
And we just sense it and it grows over time
564
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,680
and we become more aware of what He's saying to us over time.
565
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,680
And whatever that is that the Spirit is speaking to us,
566
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,280
we have to seize it and not let anything else in.
567
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,880
For example, in my life right now,
568
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,080
I'm becoming more and more aware just of the impulses of my heart,
569
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,480
of my disposition.
570
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,280
Like if there's an impulse of anger that's arising
571
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,080
because of impatience,
572
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,680
I need to put that boundary up.
573
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:06,280
I need to seize God's word of patience and long suffering
574
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,880
and I need to resist that feeling of anger and impatience
575
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,080
not letting it in.
576
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,280
So I seize God's word,
577
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,480
patience and long suffering
578
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,680
and I refuse to let in the spirit of stress
579
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,880
and anxiety and animosity that I'm experiencing
580
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,480
because I'm frustrated about something.
581
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,080
So I'm seizing God's word
582
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,080
and I'm not letting in the darkness,
583
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,680
the projection of the darkness
584
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,280
that would cause me to be selfish and impatient in.
585
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,480
Amen.
586
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,880
I mean, seizing that word of God is vitally important.
587
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,080
We need to hold on to that.
588
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,480
Don't let anything else in.
589
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,880
I love that that's what God spoke to you
590
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,080
in that encounter, that experience.
591
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,680
I don't even know what else to describe it as,
592
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,280
but I'm glad that you had the opportunity to have that
593
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,080
and that you're able to share that with us.
594
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,680
You know, Rabbi, as we're wrapping up here,
595
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,280
would you just pray for everybody that is watching this
596
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,880
that they would have that discernment
597
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,280
because there is a lot of prophetic words that are going out
598
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,480
and some of them are prophetic from the Lord,
599
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,280
some of them are prophetic from the flesh,
600
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,680
some of them are prophetic from the spirit of this world.
601
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,880
But could you just speak specifically
602
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,280
or pray specifically for the discernment,
603
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,280
especially going into 2025?
604
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,480
Thank you, my friend.
605
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,080
Well, I'm crying right now for everybody
606
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,280
whose heart is open and hungry and humble
607
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,080
and desires the Lord to do something
608
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,480
in your life and heart right now
609
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,080
as we move in particularly to this next season.
610
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,280
So, Father, to every one of your beloved children
611
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,680
that is humbly looking to you right now,
612
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,280
Father, just wanting you to do in their lives
613
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,680
whatever it is, Lord, it's pleasing to you,
614
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,080
whatever you want to do.
615
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,480
Father, we love you today.
616
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,680
Thank you, Father, for loving us.
617
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,280
And as we lift our hearts to you,
618
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,680
we ask you, Abba Daddy, to circumcise our hearts.
619
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,880
Father, circumcise our thoughts.
620
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,480
Give us ears to hear.
621
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,080
Help us to separate the voice of the enemy
622
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,880
and of misinformation and the voice of confusion
623
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,880
from your voice.
624
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,880
Father, thank you that you're a God of order.
625
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,080
And so, Father, we ask you to lead us
626
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,280
in the steps of righteousness.
627
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,280
God, that you'll help us to have discernment of heart,
628
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,080
discernment of motives, discernment of thoughts.
629
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,880
Jesus, you said that your sheep hear your voice
630
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,080
and a stranger's voice, they will not follow.
631
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,080
And you know that I've lifted this stuff to you
632
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,480
many times myself, Lord.
633
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,880
Help us to hear your voice more clearly
634
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,480
and to shut the door to the voice of the enemy
635
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,880
and to not let any disinformation or dark spirit in.
636
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,280
Jesus, we love you today.
637
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,480
Strengthen us to seize your word,
638
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,080
to love you, to obey you, and to not let anything else in.
639
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,880
Help us, Jesus, to abide in you and walk in your steps.
640
00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,880
We ask you to root us and ground us in the Word of God.
641
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,880
Amen and amen.
642
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,280
Rabbi Kurt Schneider, thank you so much
643
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,480
for taking the time to share with what God has done
644
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,280
in this last year that we talked about
645
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,280
and what we feel that God is preparing us for
646
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,480
and how we need to respond and react for what's coming ahead.
647
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,680
And that discernment is very, very key.
648
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,880
Rabbi, thank you so much for joining us today.
649
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:21,880
I love you, my friends.
650
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,080
It's great to be with you and all my friends at Charisma.
651
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:36,080
I love you guys.
