00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,280
We've got to dig in our roots.
2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:06,140
We have to reassess our priorities.
3
00:00:06,140 --> 00:00:11,800
We've got to sit down and let God have time to shape us into something.
4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:20,440
Mario Murillo, it's great to have you back on Charisma News.
5
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:25,200
And this time we're talking about what God is saying to you about the year 2024.
6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,300
We're about to turn the calendar.
7
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:32,240
And this is an important time that people are looking to prophetic voices to say, what
8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:33,720
is God saying?
9
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:34,720
We are listening.
10
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:35,720
We're ready.
11
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,600
So, brother, what is God saying to you about 2024?
12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:44,240
Well, John, first of all, I always enjoy when I do an interview with you because you ask
13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,240
the best questions.
14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,660
And in this case, it's not just a good question, it's a hard one.
15
00:00:49,660 --> 00:00:53,740
So I'm going to answer it and unpack it as best I can.
16
00:00:53,740 --> 00:00:58,320
There are many voices out there right now that are not trustworthy.
17
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,720
And people feel that.
18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:06,640
I mean, they feel a distinct sense that why is this person saying this about the future?
19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,240
Is it for money?
20
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,720
Is it to titillate the audience?
21
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:16,800
Is it to join the long train of fascination now with the prophetic?
22
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,400
Or why is he speaking this?
23
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,560
So I answer the question reluctantly and with conviction.
24
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:30,200
I really believe that in 2024, there is one thing to bear in mind.
25
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,360
The left is going to behave like a wounded animal.
26
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,200
You have to see that they've been cornered.
27
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:45,560
Their escapades, their extremes, their overreaches in government are all coming back to haunt
28
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,800
them now.
29
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:52,200
And the American voter sees blood in the water and they're going to make them pay.
30
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:58,120
So in the interim, knowing this is, knowing that, for example, that Joe Biden now has
31
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:05,360
the lowest approval rating of any president in history, that they know they have to do
32
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,360
something.
33
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:12,940
So the individual who controls the teleprompter, whoever they are, is going to do anything
34
00:02:12,940 --> 00:02:19,800
and everything to make it miserable for people of faith and people that oppose the current
35
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,800
regime.
36
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,120
Wow.
37
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,600
So Mario, you're saying that they're going to make it miserable because they're a wounded
38
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,600
animal.
39
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,600
And I like that description.
40
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,080
I mean, I don't like that it's coming like that because wounded animals are, when they're
41
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,880
cornered, they're going to attack.
42
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,380
They've got nothing left to lose.
43
00:02:38,380 --> 00:02:42,560
They are going to attack with everything they have to survive.
44
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,720
And so we're looking at that type of a situation right now.
45
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:53,640
And it seems that what you're saying, it just makes sense logically, but you're talking
46
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:56,680
from a prophetic vantage point as well.
47
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,440
So let's unpack the prophetic aspect of this even more.
48
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,160
Because what God is saying to you is, I believe it's more than just what you've told us.
49
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,680
I believe that there's more to unpack there than just the things that we can kind of see
50
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,640
with our own logical eyes.
51
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:19,680
Yeah, you know, recent events tell me that the strong Christian is the Christian of the
52
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,440
future.
53
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,680
We have talked about the blessed Christian, the prospered Christian, the grace-forgiven
54
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,040
Christian, and all of those things are valid and true.
55
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,520
But we've entered a new season.
56
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,800
And that is where the word strength is going to matter.
57
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:43,920
And the Bible says in Ephesians, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
58
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,920
In 2024, we've got to dig in our roots.
59
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,760
We have to reassess our priorities.
60
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,840
We've got to sit down and let God have time to shape us into something.
61
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,860
I'm working on an article right now that's going to be published in several outlets.
62
00:04:01,860 --> 00:04:05,160
It's called The Anointing Breaks the Woke.
63
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:14,040
And in this particular study that I'm going to release, I talk about not woke as a philosophy
64
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,720
or a person, but a spirit.
65
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:23,760
It's a spirit because very often you'll see in many videos online that when a person confronts
66
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:29,240
a woke individual on the streets and asks them a logical question, they seem to start
67
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,240
to manifest.
68
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:36,040
They're not capable of giving a coherent response to a direct simple question, whether it be
69
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:43,000
about gender, whether it be about the Bible, whether it be about freedom or responsibility,
70
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,080
personal responsibility.
71
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,520
What that tells us is that people really aren't there.
72
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:54,280
They're emotionally disassociated from the basis of their position.
73
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:58,240
And I want to tell you, that can sound real confusing, but it's not.
74
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,360
It means they no longer know why they believe what they believe.
75
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,720
They just feel it and they're mad about it.
76
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,000
So they'll defend it.
77
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,840
And when they lack any rational rebuttal, they'll begin to call you a racist or they'll
78
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:14,040
say that you're transphobic, homophobic.
79
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:19,520
And they meant all these phobias that are really just honest questions about the direction
80
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,040
of the nation.
81
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,520
The other problem they face, and I think, John, that this is very critical to understand,
82
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:32,340
who in their right mind would be doing what we're doing with our border?
83
00:05:32,340 --> 00:05:37,320
Who in their right mind would be having men in women's sports?
84
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:45,080
Who in their right mind would defend an economy or defend a foreign policy which has been
85
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,260
an unqualified disaster?
86
00:05:48,260 --> 00:05:51,280
Who would in their right mind defend that?
87
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:57,040
So when someone says to me, I'm going to vote to re-elect Joe Biden, and I know this is
88
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,080
political, but I'm being prophetic about it.
89
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,540
What I'm trying to say is, is when your place and you're in that position where you're framed
90
00:06:05,540 --> 00:06:10,620
to say, well, I want him, there's only one option that they have.
91
00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:16,040
They have to use ad hominem attacks on our character.
92
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,040
They have to question our sanity or they have to vilify Trump.
93
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:27,200
But one thing they don't have is a plan, a solution, or an apology for what they have
94
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,980
done to this country.
95
00:06:28,980 --> 00:06:34,000
And so supernaturally, they've been placed in power by the evil one.
96
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,280
And the only way to respond to that is supernatural.
97
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:43,880
Now, you know, let me give you a vivid example of this.
98
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:49,420
There are two words that every Christian needs to have in their vocabulary, the word policy
99
00:06:49,420 --> 00:06:51,360
and the word prophecy.
100
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,920
Now let's just take a moment.
101
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:59,120
Policy is every human law that is being written right now.
102
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:04,720
And it's laws that the Bible even tells us it's possible for evil to enact laws.
103
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:12,400
It says it in Psalm 94, will you have fellowship with those who devise evil by law?
104
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,600
So anyone that blindly says Christians are supposed to obey every law, they have to look
105
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,920
at the word of God.
106
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:24,580
We're supposed to obey every moral law, every civil law, but not an evil law.
107
00:07:24,580 --> 00:07:26,800
So here's the moment that we're in.
108
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,440
God is going to raise up a special breed of people.
109
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,920
The policy will be swallowed up by the prophecy.
110
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,400
The Bible says the anointing will break the yoke.
111
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:45,480
I define the yoke as whatever mass form of evil is present in your generation.
112
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:50,520
Jesus, when he described the anointing, he said the anointing is on me because, that
113
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:56,160
he said, here's the evil, here's the sickness, here's the devastation that the anointing
114
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,340
of God is on me to address.
115
00:07:59,340 --> 00:08:02,360
That's what we're doing in our tent crusades.
116
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,000
We are really not even waiting for the local church to realize what we're doing.
117
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,480
We want them to feel the love and the support, but we can't wait for them to come along.
118
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:19,480
We are under the anointing addressing the yoke, which is woke of this hour and getting
119
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,760
people saved and delivered.
120
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:27,760
And that's why I believe this is 2024 is the era of the strong Christian.
121
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:28,760
Amen.
122
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,120
That is so good, Mario.
123
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:36,160
I love that you're talking about strength and you yourself are a bold Christian.
124
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:41,840
You are, I mean, during the whole COVID lockdowns and everything, you set up tents and you went
125
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,240
and preached the gospel.
126
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,800
You were very bold about that.
127
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:50,000
You declared the gospel very openly and clearly, and you weren't going to back down.
128
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,040
I want to talk a little bit about something as we were talking earlier about these whole
129
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,160
phobias.
130
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:05,760
The left calls people transphobic, homophobic, and whatever types of phobia they can just
131
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,560
throw at somebody.
132
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:12,880
That actually kind of reminds me going back to FDR who said, the only thing that we have
133
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,320
to fear is fear itself.
134
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,640
And you kind of think about that as like, oh yeah, I don't have to be afraid of anything,
135
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:19,640
just fear.
136
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:25,000
Well, here we've found a way that people are afraid of being afraid.
137
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,960
Nobody wants to be labeled phobic of anything.
138
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:34,000
And so this has actually become a weapon in the enemy's arsenal.
139
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,720
And we talk right now about dealing with that fear head on.
140
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:48,240
And you know, dealing with the fear head on is done by developing a greater fear.
141
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,240
All right.
142
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:57,240
In Isaiah chapter six, 52 years King Uzziah ruled in Israel.
143
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,800
He was the first cousin of Isaiah, the prophet.
144
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:09,560
Isaiah, in the year that King Uzziah died, had five years of ineffective ministry.
145
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:12,360
And now he is protector.
146
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:17,600
Now the next king, Jotham, he was okay for about 16 years.
147
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,960
And then came Ahaz, who offered his own children as a sacrifice.
148
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:30,880
So Isaiah must have felt in the trembling and the signs of the time that evil was coming.
149
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:36,400
So he's in the temple praying and no doubt it's anxiety, it's about his future, it's
150
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,520
what everyone's feeling right now.
151
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:46,080
And God's answer for him in that moment was not chicken soup for the soul.
152
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,320
It wasn't Ovaltine with cookies and a lot of people won't even know what I'm talking
153
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,820
about there.
154
00:10:51,820 --> 00:10:54,960
But it will be something else.
155
00:10:54,960 --> 00:11:02,640
And it was the glory of God appeared and it terrified him beyond words.
156
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:08,200
It scrambled his molecules because two seraphim appear and they're saying to each other,
157
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,280
holy, holy, holy is the Lord.
158
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,800
The earth is full of his glory.
159
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,640
Well the same thing happened to the disciples in the boat.
160
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,520
They were scared of drowning until Jesus calmed the storm.
161
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:25,800
And then they were more terrified of Jesus than they were of the storm because they said,
162
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,440
what manner of man is this that even the winds of the seas obey him?
163
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:36,000
So the answer to current fear is the greater fear of the Lord.
164
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:43,520
And I remember one time reading where Patton said, one of the reasons that my men fight
165
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:49,960
so valiantly is that they are more afraid of me than they are of the Germans.
166
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:55,380
And the fear of the Lord is not only the beginning of wisdom, it's the thing that has been assaulted
167
00:11:55,380 --> 00:11:56,600
in church.
168
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:03,500
I really believe that reverence for God was undermined in the modern church by design.
169
00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:10,640
The devil tricked us into seeing God as a kind of a teddy bear who moves at our every
170
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:16,000
whim who is so into us that even his own holiness no longer mattered.
171
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,680
It was our needs, our needs, our needs.
172
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:23,340
And the sermons became about our needs, our needs, our need.
173
00:12:23,340 --> 00:12:25,120
But it isn't that.
174
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,000
It's the great and awesome God that we serve.
175
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,400
And you'll suddenly see it when your eyes are open.
176
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:39,300
You know, and that fear is resolved by the glory and the power of God.
177
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:42,960
That's why the Bible says, be not drunk with wine.
178
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,900
All right, let's unpack that.
179
00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:46,520
Why would anyone get drunk?
180
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,160
Anxiety, fear.
181
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,860
It's a painkiller.
182
00:12:49,860 --> 00:12:54,680
So he said, instead of being drunk with wine, be filled with the Spirit.
183
00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:59,280
So imagine the remedy that Paul is prescribing is this.
184
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:05,600
If I'm full of the Holy Spirit, the pain of modern life is going to, the edge will be
185
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,600
gone.
186
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,920
And I'll say with Paul, the sufferings of our time in Romans 8 are not worthy to be
187
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,080
compared with the glory that will be revealed in us.
188
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:22,700
And the Bible says very clearly in Isaiah, it said, do not call a conspiracy what these
189
00:13:22,700 --> 00:13:24,840
people call a conspiracy.
190
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:32,240
Isaiah 26, it said, and neither fear what they fear, but fear the Lord and then he will
191
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,380
become a sanctuary.
192
00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:41,600
So the superior fear of the Lord is what exemplifies the hour that we're living in.
193
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:48,840
I'm in my prayer closet and compromising the word of God is unthinkable to me because
194
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,980
I feel his presence and I need to know the awesomeness of God.
195
00:13:53,980 --> 00:13:55,960
And that's what I think people are lacking now.
196
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,760
And that's why they're so easily shaken in their mind, as the Bible says.
197
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:11,680
You know, brother, as we're talking about the devil and him being a, his time is short.
198
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:15,280
He knows that this is, that things are going on.
199
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,760
We've got other representations of that that are like a wounded animal.
200
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,920
And we as Christians need to be ready for the attacks.
201
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,160
And it's not just being defensive.
202
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,760
We can be offensive as well.
203
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,960
I know you are going to be doing a lot of preaching this next year and God's been speaking
204
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,800
to you about going out even further than what you've been doing.
205
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,800
Can you share some of those things here about what God is speaking to you about the future
206
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:43,800
for the church?
207
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:49,060
Well, here's the contradiction of our time, John.
208
00:14:49,060 --> 00:14:53,880
Everybody doesn't realize how mass the harvest is.
209
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:59,420
And the reason that signs and wonders are so important in our meeting is because they
210
00:14:59,420 --> 00:15:05,320
endow us with a very special gift, quantity and quality.
211
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,280
It isn't that a lot of people come forward.
212
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:13,340
It's that the lot of people that come forward become true disciples because they're born
213
00:15:13,340 --> 00:15:19,680
in fire in a clear sermon and with confirmed signs and wonders.
214
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:26,160
The other part of the story is that I've never seen a time where we had such a massive shortage
215
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,680
of workers compared to seekers.
216
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:36,960
I could show you pictures of our crusade in Los Angeles of all places where we had 800
217
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,140
volunteers and it wasn't enough for the altar calls.
218
00:15:41,140 --> 00:15:42,920
It fell short.
219
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:49,360
And we are watching now we're going to go to six different cities in 2024.
220
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:57,720
The one I can announce publicly is Phoenix, Arizona, will be there in April the 28th until
221
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,320
May the 1st.
222
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:05,000
And we're already gearing up for that in a citywide invasion of what is also a battleground
223
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,420
state, by the way.
224
00:16:06,420 --> 00:16:08,900
But we believe that God has us there.
225
00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:11,640
And then we're going to be in several other states.
226
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:19,400
Well, we're going to do a grand total of six citywide 10 crusades in America in 2024.
227
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:24,320
And we're going to believe God for tens of thousands of people to be saved.
228
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,320
Yeah.
229
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,320
And your tent is how big?
230
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,520
You were telling me this the other day.
231
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:29,520
It is massive.
232
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:30,520
It's massive.
233
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,800
I wish I could show you this schematic.
234
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:39,520
It is 40,000 square feet and it seats 5,211 people.
235
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,440
And the first time we put it up, we had every seat filled.
236
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,560
And so it's an amazing moment that we're in.
237
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:53,080
And you know, John, every 18 months we've had to buy a new tent.
238
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,800
And each one has been twice the size of the previous one.
239
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,400
So I have no idea where we're going to go from here.
240
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:04,680
I told my staff, I said, can we please use this one for a while?
241
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,960
Because it takes heavy equipment to put it up.
242
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:14,840
And it's an amazing temple of God's power and glory.
243
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,520
It's a good tabernacle for sure.
244
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,680
I mean, that's what the children of Israel did in the wilderness.
245
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,560
They just carried that wherever they went.
246
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,960
And when the cloud of the presence of the glory of the Lord moved, they moved too.
247
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:32,640
And I know that the glory of the Lord is leading you to those six cities this next year.
248
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,240
And we're going to see great things happen because the presence of the Lord is there,
249
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,280
not because Mario Morillo is there.
250
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,300
But Mario Morillo is obedient to go where God is calling.
251
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:43,300
And that's the thing.
252
00:17:43,300 --> 00:17:49,560
And we need more people to join with you so that those laborers that are few can be greater
253
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,640
so that the harvest can be brought in in the appropriate way.
254
00:17:53,640 --> 00:18:00,320
You know, Mario, as we've been talking this last year, there's been plenty of things that
255
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,600
have come up in our conversations.
256
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:13,840
And some of these things are the misinformed prophets or the people that are leading people
257
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:14,840
astray.
258
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,760
I just wanted to hear from you.
259
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:23,080
Have you seen anything develop from those conversations, from calling those people out?
260
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,440
I don't want to turn this into that.
261
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,680
I just want to see, like, from your perspective, are things getting better or worse?
262
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,360
Well, let me just say this.
263
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:34,320
I want to reference three things that have happened.
264
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:40,200
Number one is an individual that I called out is now under investigation by the attorney
265
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:49,840
general of his state, which is a relief because he is diverting funds into illegal channels.
266
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:55,400
The second is that an individual that I mentioned became deathly ill.
267
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,280
And I don't rejoice in that at all.
268
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:06,560
But they had to leave the field and were unable to give their voice of their kind of their
269
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:13,040
false visions and dreams and interpretations were interrupted.
270
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:19,840
The third is that other prophets that are legitimate are stepping up and they're not
271
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,040
afraid.
272
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:29,000
The education that I had to give people was that they needed to read Jeremiah again, read
273
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,840
the book of Jeremiah again.
274
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:37,360
And you'll see he devoted a great deal of his time to exposing false prophets, not just
275
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:42,480
the sin of the king or of the culture, but of those that were claiming to speak in the
276
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,000
name of God and they were false.
277
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,040
Jesus did the same thing.
278
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,040
Paul did the same thing.
279
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,840
And I'll go you one better.
280
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:57,680
There's never been a legitimate anointed voice in the history of the faith that didn't at
281
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:03,680
some point confront false teachers or false prophets in their ministry.
282
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,480
Every one of them have done it, whether it be Catherine Kuhlman, David Wilkerson, Billy
283
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,640
Graham or Roberts.
284
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,940
That's just in the 20th century.
285
00:20:13,940 --> 00:20:17,040
But go all the way back and you'll see it.
286
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:23,840
It is absolutely a universal part of the calling of God to expose falsehood.
287
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:31,960
I did it because as a soul winner, it was making us look stupid to the outside world.
288
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,200
And I needed to step aside and say, look, this isn't God.
289
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,480
This is not God.
290
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:42,240
This is man making up stuff and woman making up stuff.
291
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,180
So that's it.
292
00:20:44,180 --> 00:20:53,440
So the current trend is that people are waking up, they're coming out of it and a lot of
293
00:20:53,440 --> 00:21:00,560
houses of worship are being shaken right now because God is preparing us for the storm
294
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,200
and we've got to be ready.
295
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,720
You know, brother, you just mentioned that houses of worship are being shaken up and
296
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,320
I don't want to have to go into any details about that, but we know some things that have
297
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,000
happened recently to several different churches.
298
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:19,920
Do you feel that God is continuing this thing to clear out the church?
299
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,120
Is that going to be, are we going to be seeing more of that in 2024?
300
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:24,120
Yeah.
301
00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:25,560
And I do want to make a comment.
302
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:30,280
I've stayed out of any reference to that event that you're mentioning that I know a lot of
303
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,440
people watching will know about it and others will say, well, what's he talking about?
304
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,840
Well, it's not important.
305
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:44,600
What I am going to tell you is that the misbehavior in the way that scandal was handled was on
306
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,100
all sides.
307
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:52,240
I don't know that there was a single hero in that story, not one.
308
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:59,520
And I can go into detail why I believe that, but it just, part of it is this morbid curiosity
309
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:05,700
that social media has created where click bait instead of content, we're going to do
310
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:10,000
an expose, we're going to do this, we're going to do that, we're going to do the other.
311
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:17,880
And the problem is that there is a legitimate, as I have tried to do, format and platform
312
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,280
to bring correction.
313
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:25,680
Once you've gone to the person individually, once you've attempted to be scriptural, but
314
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:32,400
what's happened is social media has allowed people who have no anointing, no integrity
315
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:40,280
and no experience novices, complete novices that in the name of getting views are doing
316
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:45,420
reels and shows and they, and you need to quit listening to them because all they want
317
00:22:45,420 --> 00:22:47,940
is attention and it's sad.
318
00:22:47,940 --> 00:22:50,560
So God is doing this.
319
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:56,540
He's bringing, separating the sheep from the goat, something my friend Lance Wallnau talks
320
00:22:56,540 --> 00:23:00,120
about and he says they're even sheep and goat nations.
321
00:23:00,120 --> 00:23:07,040
Well, God is letting and here's what the Bible says, there must needs be divisions among
322
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:13,720
you so that those who are approved may be made manifest.
323
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:19,320
There's a shaking going on so that the voices that can be trusted and the ministries that
324
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:24,320
are legitimate will rise to the top so they can get the job done.
325
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:33,400
And that's, that's God is saying America and saving America is too important for me not
326
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:38,600
to act and bring righteousness and judgment and correction.
327
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:44,920
So the key is that we need to be very, very sensitive right now.
328
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:45,920
Yeah.
329
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,440
Brother, I just want to ask you about something because every time you and I talk, it's just
330
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:51,920
like, oh, I've got more questions.
331
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,920
I've got more things that this, oh, he said this.
332
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:54,920
It makes me think of that.
333
00:23:54,920 --> 00:24:02,320
You know, in October we had the attack on Israel from Hamas and people are, are now
334
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,480
very aware about the end times.
335
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:11,960
You just mentioned about God saving America and God has a plan for America.
336
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,360
Where do you see America in 2024?
337
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:19,380
And more specifically, where do you see America in the end times?
338
00:24:19,380 --> 00:24:24,440
You know, I really believe that there are only three things that keeps America alive.
339
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:29,000
Number one is that we feed the poor of the world.
340
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,040
Number two is that we preach the gospel to the world.
341
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,960
And number three, that we stand with Israel.
342
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,840
If we leave any of those out of the equation, I don't think we're going to be around much
343
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,680
longer.
344
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:50,280
And when the issue of Hamas comes up, I love the way the left just deflects and refuses
345
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,720
to talk about the one thing that matters.
346
00:24:52,720 --> 00:25:00,540
The only thing that matters in this entire situation is that Hamas believes that Israel
347
00:25:00,540 --> 00:25:03,880
has no right to exist.
348
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:10,360
And AOC, the young lady from, yeah, she doesn't know what that's about.
349
00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:11,520
She doesn't talk about it.
350
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,880
They don't mention it.
351
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,920
They want to say, well, Israel is doing this.
352
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,240
Israel is doing that.
353
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,720
And you don't understand.
354
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:25,900
There is no resolution when your neighbor says you have no right to exist.
355
00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:31,740
And until the left answers that question, and you got to ask the left, why don't you
356
00:25:31,740 --> 00:25:39,860
tell Iran, tell Hezbollah, tell Hamas that Israel has a right to be a nation?
357
00:25:39,860 --> 00:25:46,880
And if you don't say that, then don't talk about what they're doing to defend themselves.
358
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,840
You have no right to say that.
359
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,920
And until that question is answered, nothing else matters.
360
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:57,680
And finally, where does America sit in all of this?
361
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:03,380
America has got to get rid of the anti-God government.
362
00:26:03,380 --> 00:26:07,520
Our government is shaking its fist at God.
363
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,680
Our government is hating the things of God.
364
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:19,880
We recently saw a Christmas greeting, which was more of a two-line text from Joe Biden
365
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,280
saying the light of Bethlehem.
366
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,720
A wonderful New Age spin on that, by the way.
367
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:31,080
The light, not the God, not the son of God, the light.
368
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:37,120
Whereas Donald Trump stood and gave his Christmas message, and he said, this is a celebration
369
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:42,600
of the birth of the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ.
370
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,880
Clear as a bell, folks.
371
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,600
There's no obfuscation.
372
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:48,820
There's no dullness here.
373
00:26:48,820 --> 00:26:50,780
There's no smoke and mirrors.
374
00:26:50,780 --> 00:26:53,080
It's truth and it's lying.
375
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,240
It's evil and good.
376
00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:01,480
And what we've got to understand in this hour is that America in the next year is being
377
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:07,040
told by God, you either honor my word, come back to your roots.
378
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,080
And your first love, or you will cease to exist.
379
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,800
And that's what I believe is the significant message of this hour.
380
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:20,400
And it's uncomfortable and it's painful, but it's inescapable.
381
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,720
It's incontestable.
382
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,280
You can't hide.
383
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,280
This is it.
384
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,280
Bottom line.
385
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,280
Wow.
386
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:34,320
Those are some strong words there, Mario, and things that we can definitely do.
387
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,280
But I want to ask you right now, as we're wrapping up here, if you can pray for everybody
388
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:43,080
that's watching, because we talked earlier about battling fear with boldness.
389
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:48,880
And I just want to ask you to release the Holy Spirit boldness to those that are watching
390
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:49,880
this right now.
391
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:50,880
Yeah, I'm going to pray.
392
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:51,880
As they're getting ready for 2024.
393
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,160
Yeah, I'm going to pray that prayer as you've asked.
394
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:02,680
The headline today, folks, is the left is going to act like a wounded animal.
395
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,880
It is the time for the strong Christian.
396
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:07,880
That's the headline.
397
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:17,280
Now, Father, Isaiah was told, say to the righteous, it shall be well with them.
398
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,600
Say to the wicked, it will not be well.
399
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,400
It's never been vague.
400
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,000
It's never been hard to know what to do.
401
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:33,680
But I believe, Lord, if there's a prayer for 2024, it is found in Second Chronicles 20.
402
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:42,840
When Jehoshaphat said, Lord, we have no might against this host, but our eyes are on you.
403
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:51,200
And Lord, we know now that our Christian faith must be dusted off the shelf.
404
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,560
It cannot be symbolic.
405
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:59,360
It cannot be a wishful thought or a light remedy.
406
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:04,520
It has to be our breath, our life, our being.
407
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:13,920
You must become our tangible daily reward and force of life.
408
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,800
And we thank you, Lord, that you are calling us.
409
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:23,000
And the safest move we can make is what the Psalmist said.
410
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:32,680
When you said unto me, seek my face, I said back to you, your face will I seek.
411
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:38,400
Let that be the passion of everyone that is watching, that if they will obey that, their
412
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:46,760
children will be spared, their money will be spared, their health will be protected.
413
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:53,000
For you have never failed, Lord, the righteous and those that have sought you and have made
414
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,160
you their shelter.
415
00:29:55,160 --> 00:30:01,560
Thank you, Jesus, for the mighty work you're going to do in us in 2024.
416
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:02,560
Amen.
417
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:08,640
Mario Murillo, thank you so much for taking the time to be with us today to share what
418
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,260
God is speaking to you about 2024.
419
00:30:12,260 --> 00:30:17,080
Thank you, John.
