Unlock God's Secrets for 2024 with these 7 Powerful Strategies! with @TomiArayomi

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,760
You're no longer the audience.

2
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:03,200
You're now the army.

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:10,340
Apostle Tomi,

4
00:00:10,340 --> 00:00:13,380
Arayomi, it's great to have you here on Charisma News.

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,480
I know we're doing a series on what is God saying about 2024

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:23,720
and you actually you're you're not at liberty to release that full word yet.

7
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,520
But what God has given you the permission to do

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:32,880
is to share these seven tips or seven strategies for his people to be ready for 2024.

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,960
So I'm just going to sit back and let you release this word.

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,800
And I'll just kind of ask questions as needed in between.

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,080
But thank you for being here and thank you for sharing what God has been speaking to you.

12
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,600
Well, it's great to be with you again, John.

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:55,480
And I really believe that the Lord is preparing us to benefit actually

14
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,800
from 2024 and beyond.

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,120
You know, prophecy is for our benefit.

16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,520
It's ultimately not so we can just prognosticate.

17
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,680
Neither is it so we can be naysayers, just so that we can point people,

18
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,520
God's people to areas where they need to be aware of what's coming.

19
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:20,800
So even if it's bad news, it can actually be good news because you had the heads up.

20
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:27,360
So some of the things the Lord's begun to speak to me about.

21
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:34,120
He gave me seven prophetic things to really prepare God's people for 2024.

22
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:40,120
I believe the scripture says the eyes of the Lord are running to improve about the earth,

23
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,720
looking for those whose hearts are perfect towards Him to show Himself strong on their behalf.

24
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:50,920
And so that means that right now the Spirit of God is looking at hearts.

25
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,200
He's measuring our heart posture, our heart alignment.

26
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,760
Just like when he was looking for a candidate to be king over Israel,

27
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,360
he found David, who he said was a man off to his heart.

28
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,160
And this is particularly important for 2024 going forwards.

29
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:13,480
Because Isaiah, the prophet, offers this great indictment against Israel.

30
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:22,120
He said, I saw that there was no man and I marveled that there was no one to stand in the gap.

31
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,080
In other words, the Lord is always looking for a candidate.

32
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:34,120
He's always looking for somebody who he can exalt, who he can lift up, who he can promote in the land.

33
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:40,480
And I really believe 2024 is going to be that year where you're going to start to see

34
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:46,840
unknowns becoming known and knowns becoming unknown.

35
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:54,240
There's going to be almost a shift where those that have been hidden for a season for this time,

36
00:02:54,240 --> 00:03:00,560
hidden in frustration, hidden in obscurity, we're going to begin to see them rise to the surface.

37
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:08,120
Or just as the scripture says, have you considered my servant Job that there is none more righteous than him,

38
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,400
blameless and upright in all his ways as Job 1 verse 8.

39
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,400
And we see this throughout scripture, you know, God looking, finding Noah,

40
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:22,680
a man of righteousness among a morally decadent people.

41
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,960
So why is the Lord saying this?

42
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,760
I believe he's saying this because darkness is going to get darker.

43
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,800
The darkness the Bible says will cover the earth.

44
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,480
But the darkness we're going to feel in 2024 going forward is going to be akin

45
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:43,960
to the Egyptian darkness, you know, where the Bible says a darkness that could be felt.

46
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,640
This is like a demonic darkness that has a touch point to it.

47
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:57,240
And although the Bible says we wrestle not against flesh and blood, we're actually going

48
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:04,360
to see the enemy taking on more physical form, whether that's through politicians,

49
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,200
school boards, teachers, we're going to see it get worse.

50
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:14,200
The Bible calls them the rulers of the darkness of this age.

51
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,840
That's physical people.

52
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:22,960
I think the word there is cosmocratist, physical people who have taken on demonic

53
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:28,480
assignments and have have basically become epithets or servants.

54
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,560
Just like the Bible talks about bar Jesus or Simon the sorcerer.

55
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,480
People have really taken on the identity that this is who I am, especially in America.

56
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,240
Sorcery is going to become a more real practice.

57
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:51,040
You know, witchcraft is going to become more a forefront battle from different all kinds

58
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,680
of angles and we're already seeing those things take place.

59
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,240
But who's the Lord looking for in the midst of that?

60
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:58,960
Blameless.

61
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,400
Somebody who hasn't bowed his knee to bail.

62
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:10,120
So 2024, the first strategy is be blameless or at least mourn evil.

63
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,120
You know, there's a scripture that talks about the people that wept at the evil.

64
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:18,120
God, Godly sorrow that works repentance.

65
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,000
That place where people see evil around them and they're weeping for the evil like

66
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,040
abacus, why do you let my eyes behold this evil every day I see it?

67
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,280
And God responds because he responds to blameless people.

68
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:36,120
Blameless doesn't mean without sin.

69
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:42,200
Blameless means that I'm not going to be a part of the reproaches and the things

70
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,440
that people are doing.

71
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,520
The world is doing and, you know, get this job even that the church is doing.

72
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:55,520
That there is a there is a remnant of people who are not going to become a part

73
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,360
of a suedo church culture.

74
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:05,960
They're going to embrace a kingdom culture that's righteousness, peace,

75
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,160
and joy in the Holy Spirit.

76
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:13,360
Number two, the Lord said that it's time to release the gathering anointing again.

77
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,640
This is more of message for pastors and leaders of churches that there has to be

78
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,680
the release of a fresh gathering anointing.

79
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:28,400
COVID scattered us, but now we are no longer in the COVID era.

80
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,120
We are now in the gathering season.

81
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,040
And, you know, you could say a million things COVID came to do.

82
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,440
COVID came to kill elderly people.

83
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,560
You know, COVID came to, you know, really attack those who are dealing with

84
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,440
or predispose conditions.

85
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:50,880
But really the enemy's assignment for COVID was the scattering of the people.

86
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:57,760
God's assignment for COVID was that all of the things that could be shaken were

87
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,840
shaken. So we saw a lot of churches shut down.

88
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:05,680
We saw a lot of agendas and ideas being brought to the surface.

89
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,240
Opinions that weren't biblical being brought to the surface.

90
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,440
But now that we're no longer in that COVID era, we're now in, the Lord calls it,

91
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,400
a fresh gathering season for the sake of the harvest.

92
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,080
Now, who's God gathering?

93
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,840
God's not gathering the harvest.

94
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,760
He's gathering the harvesters.

95
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,360
And you've got to convince the harvesters that you're no longer the harvest.

96
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,960
You're now the workers and we've got to equip you, not enable you.

97
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:39,440
You know, we have a church now in Houston and there's a gathering

98
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,560
together and we're telling them constantly, you're no longer the audience.

99
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,040
You're now the army.

100
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,800
You know, God needs an army and you're it.

101
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,600
And so there has to be a fresh gathering anointing.

102
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:52,160
Why?

103
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,440
Because the evil day is approaching.

104
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:02,360
And Hebrews chapter 10 verse 25 says, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves

105
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,360
together as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another.

106
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,400
And in so much as we see the day approaching.

107
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:18,480
And so as we see the evil day, the response of God to that evil day is assembly,

108
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,480
not gathering for the sake of serving teas and coffees.

109
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:27,360
No, an assembly of the saints together and a mobilizing of the saints means one

110
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,480
should chase a thousand, two shall chase 10,000.

111
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,400
And so the Spirit of God is looking for those gatherings in the earth again.

112
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,360
He's brooding over the gatherings because there's an outpouring now.

113
00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:43,040
And it's not going to be just an outpouring for revival.

114
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,360
It's going to be an outpouring for reformation.

115
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,800
The Bible actually talks about four hours that are going to take place in the end times.

116
00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:00,440
Repent, the Bible says, return that times of revival or refreshing.

117
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,440
So first hour, repent.

118
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:03,960
Second hour, repent.

119
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:10,840
Second hour, return to the Lord so we can repent and not return to the Lord.

120
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,360
You know, that's why I love people.

121
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:16,000
We're praying, why things not changing now?

122
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,720
If my people call by my name, shall humble themselves, seek my face, pray.

123
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,920
We can that's all repentance and turn from their wicked ways.

124
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,040
That means return to the Lord.

125
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,960
So it's one thing to say, I'm sorry from.

126
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,640
It's another thing to say, I'm accepting this so we can be

127
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,560
sorry for and still not accept the new.

128
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,080
You know, it's like marriage.

129
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,400
You know, you can say, I'm sorry for what I did, but still not change your

130
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,640
behavior to a more righteous way of conduct that pleases your spouse.

131
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:54,680
We can say, oh, we messed up here, but still not accept that there's a lifestyle.

132
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,360
You know, the thing that shocks me is Christians don't believe that there's a lifestyle.

133
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:02,880
Even the LGBT community know that there's a lifestyle.

134
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,400
What if you want to be in their community?

135
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,720
In Christianity, if you want to be in this, holiness is the lifestyle.

136
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,560
None of us go to a restaurant.

137
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:21,600
And if we see stains on our plate, choose to let the person serving us put the

138
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,200
clean food on the dirty plate.

139
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,680
We say, excuse me, the plate's dirty.

140
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,080
Excuse me, the cup has somebody else's lipstick on the edge of it.

141
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,760
And yet we want to serve God from unclean vessels.

142
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,600
And God's like, no, my standard is still going to be number one, holiness,

143
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,760
blamelessness, without which no man can see the Lord.

144
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:48,000
But number two, there has to be a gathering for a new outpouring.

145
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,560
And that means, you know, Ezekiel beheld the valley.

146
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,680
The valley was full of dry bones and the bones were very dry.

147
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,640
And God didn't abandon the bones.

148
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,440
The Bible says he said prophesy to the bones.

149
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,320
Why? Because the breath needs bones.

150
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:11,680
We can't just prophesy and ask God, pour out your spirit and there's no structure.

151
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,480
Spirit needs structure.

152
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:14,840
He needs a skeleton.

153
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:21,000
He needs a gathering of the army together so that the outpouring can come.

154
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,680
So he says, repent, return to the Lord.

155
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,400
Times of refreshing will come from the presence of God.

156
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,560
That's a third R and he will send Jesus Christ to my heavens, must withhold

157
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,680
until the reformation of all things.

158
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,520
So the final R is where the church hasn't got to yet.

159
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,360
We love revival.

160
00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:41,720
Thank God for revival.

161
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:47,000
But if all you do is keep resuscitating us and we die again and you resuscitate us

162
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:53,160
again and we die again, reformation is meant to revival is meant to tilt into

163
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:59,720
reformation, revival is meant to tilt us out of falling over and rolling on the

164
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:05,080
floor and all of that is meant to spill over into, OK, how are we going to make

165
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,320
earth look like heaven?

166
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,280
How are we going to make the kingdoms of the world reflect the kingdom of our

167
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,240
God, love is Christ, so that he can reign forever and ever?

168
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,480
That's the place now in this final revival.

169
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:24,320
God is saying, I'm holding back the revival until you have your reformers on the

170
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,760
ground. What does that look like?

171
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,000
It looks like Elisha is already pulling a plow.

172
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,440
Elisha is not there just waiting for revival.

173
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:41,120
No, he's already got his instruments ready for reformation to tilt the ground.

174
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,360
And so that means that means now in this hour,

175
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,280
training is coming upon revival.

176
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,200
The anointing is coming upon education.

177
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,120
The anointing is coming upon intelligence.

178
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:01,640
The anointing is coming on people with a brain, people that know what to do now

179
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,320
that they've been revived.

180
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,680
That's the hour we're coming into in this next gathering.

181
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:18,160
Number three, the Lord says, work out your exit strategy from your job

182
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:23,480
or into jobs that will matter beyond 2030.

183
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:25,080
This was a crucial one.

184
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:30,480
And, you know, I've been saying this for a while, but I think it was Forbes

185
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:32,880
magazine that came out with an article.

186
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:41,560
I can't remember if it was 300 or 600 million jobs that will be lost by 2030

187
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,440
to artificial intelligence.

188
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,880
And so the Lord said, now it's time to work out your exodus.

189
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,600
Exodus is a huge word

190
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:52,920
in the Hebrew.

191
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,760
It's it's a relative of the word Ecclesia, where we get the call out

192
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:07,000
ones from Ecc meaning to leave or to flee Ecclesia, meaning to come out.

193
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,000
Exodus meaning to run from.

194
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,520
What were they running from?

195
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,400
They were running from their jobs.

196
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:20,240
They had horrible bosses called taskmasters who afflicted them cruelly

197
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:25,320
in a season to build structures for Pharaoh.

198
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:30,800
And so we're actually in a season where 2025 will be the halfway point.

199
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:37,040
The Lord says of that exit strategy that is going to be commanding a lot of people.

200
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,160
I've got calls everywhere.

201
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,440
God told me to leave my job.

202
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,440
God told me to step out and I'm learning.

203
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,000
I'm learning five figures.

204
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,320
I'm learning six figures.

205
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:49,480
I don't know why the Lord would tell me to do this because there's a movement

206
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:54,120
out of jobs into sustainability.

207
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,000
You know, jobs are archaic now.

208
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:03,960
The idea of a job is as archaic as the idea of our education system.

209
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,680
Our education system is years out of date.

210
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:13,440
But our education system trains us to step into the job market and not into the area

211
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,680
that I believe the Lord wants us to step into.

212
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,200
And look what the Lord said, which was really interesting.

213
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:24,840
Let my people go from their slavery that they may worship me on this mountain.

214
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,960
And so God wanted them to be freed up enough to worship.

215
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,360
He wanted them to be freed up enough to spend time with him.

216
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:37,320
That was the whole goal of delivering them from their terrible job market.

217
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,760
It was like, I need them to worship me.

218
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:40,960
And I'm not going to.

219
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,000
And that word worship is the same word bondage.

220
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,560
Let them go from their bondage.

221
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:47,360
It's the same word.

222
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:52,040
In other words, God wasn't freeing them

223
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:53,800
from slavery.

224
00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:00,520
God was freeing them to slavery, but slaves of Christ, slaves of the Lord,

225
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,280
not slaves of the systems of the world.

226
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,640
And so we see this again in the woman who was bent over for 18 years,

227
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,280
kind of straightened herself up and look what he says.

228
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,640
He says, anyone who sees an ox and tied down doesn't

229
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,280
don't need just on the Sabbath, go ahead and release that oxen.

230
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,040
But what's he releasing the oxen to you?

231
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,120
Release the oxen from the stalls to carry a load.

232
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,480
The good news about Christ's load is it's light.

233
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:28,680
It's easy.

234
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:34,760
It's not it's not as terrible as what you're under right now in the systems of the world.

235
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,960
It is a light yoke.

236
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,360
And we're in a season now where God's people are going to have to choose

237
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,840
which master they're going to serve.

238
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,000
And I love what the Bible says, because your your biggest master is in Satan,

239
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,560
your biggest master's money, it's mammoth.

240
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,080
And so we're we're we're shifting the time now.

241
00:16:54,280 --> 00:17:00,080
And whatever job you have before, you're going to see them becoming redundant.

242
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:05,440
Just yesterday, I was on the plane and I was watching this news article about Amazon.

243
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,680
And it's like otherworldly.

244
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,520
If you look at their factory that they just built, they have robots now doing what humans used to do.

245
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:13,480
And they put out a promise.

246
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,440
We're not replacing humans, we promise.

247
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,640
Yeah, right. I mean, a few years.

248
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,640
I mean, these robots don't go on lunch breaks.

249
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,920
These robots don't ask for vacation time.

250
00:17:22,120 --> 00:17:26,560
They don't ask for maternity and paternity leave, you know, whatever that means.

251
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,120
They they're working 24 seven round the clock.

252
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:35,000
And so we're we're already in that era now where if you're not working out your

253
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:40,800
exes out of the job sector or into jobs that will matter past 20 30,

254
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,680
you're going to be in trouble.

255
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,640
Genesis 47, this one says, so Joseph went and told Pharaoh,

256
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:54,040
my father and my brothers with their flocks and herds and all they own have come from

257
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,920
the land of Canaan and are in Goshen.

258
00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:00,680
And he chose five of his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh.

259
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,000
And he said, what is your occupation?

260
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,240
I think this is going to be the most crucial question of the next few years.

261
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,640
What is your occupation?

262
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:11,640
What's your job?

263
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,160
What are you working right now?

264
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:17,000
Whatever job you're working right now, whatever occupation you're tied in right

265
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:24,160
now, ask yourself, is it going to be around or is there some robot that can do my job

266
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:25,600
much better than me?

267
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:31,960
And if there is accountants, if there is graphic designers, if there is web

268
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:38,880
developers, if there is news anchors, it's time for us to begin to make the shift

269
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:46,560
into whatever sectors of job or business or investments that are going to actually

270
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,800
make room for us and our families.

271
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,400
Number four, the Lord says, run away from money

272
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,120
and choose to invest in the best parts of the land.

273
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:04,960
And I don't believe God wants us to be foolish with money and not stay liquid.

274
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,320
I actually believe that liquidity is good without liquidity.

275
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:15,480
You can't buy food, but I actually believe there's a strategy in the season we're

276
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:22,840
stepping into that the Lord wants us to build asset based lives and not income based

277
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,720
lives. And that means that now we've got to get wise with money.

278
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:34,280
Number one, or align ourselves with people that are wise with money.

279
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,720
So that's two things you can do that.

280
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:43,240
You can either admit you're incompetent at money and be like Ruth and say, Naomi,

281
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:48,400
I'm following you. I don't know anything about this bread and economics.

282
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:53,000
But you're people, my people now, you're God, my God, where you die, I die.

283
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,880
I'm going in your course.

284
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,680
I'm subscribing to your life.

285
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,680
I'm going to be here forever until I get

286
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,160
brain enough to figure this out.

287
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,680
But right now I'm just going to align.

288
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,880
So two things you can do, you can either align with people who are heading in that

289
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,280
direction, teaching in that direction, training in the direction,

290
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,600
passing the leaders that are speaking in that direction.

291
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,960
You know, those these are the people now we got to align ourselves with

292
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,960
because we're going to have a dichotomy past 2025 of why we're not going to have

293
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:30,880
a church of divided by black against white or Asian against black or whatever.

294
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,520
The dichotomy is going to be wise people against foolish people.

295
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:40,680
And the Bible says the foolish people expected the wise people to provide for

296
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:46,040
them during the time of of of the bridegroom coming.

297
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,160
And the wise people looked at the foolish people and said, no, we we actually

298
00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:53,520
the reason we're sleeping is because we've actually invested.

299
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,080
We bought our oil.

300
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,720
Don't don't don't sleep just because we're sleeping.

301
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,320
Get about your day and and do some work.

302
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:05,680
But and so run away from money and choose to invest in the best parts of the land.

303
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,480
So that means that now if you're one of those people that got speaking to about

304
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:15,400
property, about land development, don't just invest in anything.

305
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:22,000
Invest strategically in parts of the land that you know are going to bless you

306
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,240
and your family years down the line.

307
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,640
I mean, you look at the man Naboth, who Jezebel killed.

308
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,320
And he realized why he killed him because he had a plot of land

309
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,000
that was right next to the king's house.

310
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:43,680
I mean, that's that's like that asset is so expensive that Naboth said, no,

311
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,440
you're not touching my portion.

312
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,600
I this is my family's inheritance dating back years.

313
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,840
So you've got to work your way into the best parts of the land because whenever

314
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,760
there's a recession or something's going on in the land,

315
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,640
remember, you have to remember around this time, this famine,

316
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,280
it's it's the best parts of the land that are going to stay buoyant.

317
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:10,360
And so Genesis forty seven fourteen and Joseph gathered up all the money

318
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:16,800
that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan for the corn which

319
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:22,480
they bought and Joseph bought the money into Pharaoh's house when the money

320
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,400
from the land of Egypt and Canaan failed.

321
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,400
That's the operative word.

322
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,000
Money is going to fail.

323
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,360
Money is getting ready to fail.

324
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:39,240
And we're going to see what people have called their savings, their,

325
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:40,800
you know, life savings.

326
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,280
And I've been telling people specifically, watch out for Wells Fargo Bank and

327
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,880
and different banks, watch out for closures, massive closures.

328
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:56,040
Because, you know, we're going to see something shifting economically.

329
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,760
And it doesn't mean money goes away because according to I think it was

330
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:03,400
Occam's law or whoever it was, you know, energy never gets destroyed.

331
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,440
It just gets converted into something else.

332
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,640
It means we've got to find where it's been converted into.

333
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,400
So when the money from Egypt was gone,

334
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:18,440
the Bible says that the people became slaves, they became slaves of the government

335
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,720
and slaves of Pharaoh.

336
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,120
And so, you know, when when money fails,

337
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:30,920
the scariest word in the world, according to Reagan, was where the government

338
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:32,200
and we're here to help.

339
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:32,720
Right.

340
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,480
That's exactly what happened in Joseph's day.

341
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,960
The government came and said, we're here to help.

342
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,040
And and Pharaoh, Joseph's Pharaoh was benevolent.

343
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,000
The Pharaoh that rose up after him was not.

344
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,640
And this is what Solomon says, I've seen a wicked thing under the earth.

345
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,920
He says, a ruler rises up and then people hate him and they go for a younger guy

346
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,400
instead that everybody loves him, but he's only there for a season and somebody else

347
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:58,640
will rise up anyway.

348
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:04,240
So, you know, America's obsession with elections has to give way to, hey,

349
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,320
let's build the kind of economy that whether it's a Democrat or a Republican

350
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:13,360
in power, we're OK, we're we're buoyant, we're riding through whatever season

351
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:17,080
we need to ride through, because we're trusting in the Lord.

352
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,280
We're not trusting in the White House.

353
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,120
So number five,

354
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:28,600
but I think the body of Christ has got to learn to buy and sell.

355
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:33,240
I believe the body of Christ has got to learn how to pay their debts.

356
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:34,880
And I'm not talking about good debt,

357
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,720
I'm talking about bad debt, especially during the time of Christmas.

358
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,360
Please don't get into debt.

359
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:43,640
I just see something so strong coming for 2024 in different parts of the world

360
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,040
that is going to be such an economic shaking that you cannot afford to get into debt

361
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,640
like Christmas debt and all of these

362
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,360
luxuries that you can't afford.

363
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:57,760
Like, you know, people people go out there and they pay for expensive lives

364
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,040
that they can't afford.

365
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,360
And the problem is you have to keep it up.

366
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,800
If you start that scam, you have to keep up the scam, you know.

367
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,160
And so live within your means.

368
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,200
And then don't live off of your income.

369
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,560
Live off of your business.

370
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:19,840
And I actually believe God is lowering the bar for everyone to be able to enter

371
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,160
into this season of business.

372
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:24,600
I really believe it prophetically.

373
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,160
Because the Bible says in Luke 19,

374
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:33,160
occupy to like come that where there is pragmaty on my it means trade to like come

375
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:34,960
do business to like come.

376
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,760
So there's a there's an anointing for skilled business.

377
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,080
It's an axis 31.

378
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,760
It talks about the spirit of God coming upon the people.

379
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,400
And it wasn't actually prophecy.

380
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,440
Prophecy was the latter day outpouring.

381
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:54,640
It was for building, design, architecture, craft, business.

382
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,760
So there's an outpouring in 2024.

383
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,400
If anybody is willing to receive it, it's an outpouring that's going to make them

384
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,200
skilled, it's going to make them successful.

385
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,320
I remember when the Holy Spirit taught me how to play the piano.

386
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,160
I did. I still don't read musical notes today.

387
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:13,480
I just supernaturally skilled me to play.

388
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,720
And I became the worship leader of our church for almost three years.

389
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,920
And I was like, how did you learn this?

390
00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:20,320
I was like, I was just in my room.

391
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:21,720
I said, Holy Spirit, teach me.

392
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,200
And all of a sudden he started teaching me.

393
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:29,200
And so supernaturally, we're going to see scale coming upon the people of God.

394
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,000
They're going to be able to do things that they couldn't do before.

395
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,680
And wonder how am I gifted in this?

396
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,000
You know, you know, it's probably like you all of a sudden you're learning.

397
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,160
How am I gifted in meteor all of a sudden?

398
00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:42,880
How did I know how to work this camera?

399
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,200
How do I know how to fix this?

400
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,600
And so it's the anointing that we got to recognize.

401
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,240
The anointing is coming upon people who are being positioned

402
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,400
for wealth transfers.

403
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,040
And I really believe that.

404
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,960
Now, how wealthy are people going to be?

405
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,200
They're going to be as wealthy as they want to be.

406
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,280
You know, that's the that's the challenge.

407
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,080
You know, wealthy for what's sake?

408
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,040
Well, the billion soul harvest.

409
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,080
People talk about the billion soul harvest, but they don't talk about the billion soul seed.

410
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,280
It's going to cost a lot.

411
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,240
We did crusades in Africa.

412
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,280
Every crusade cost us a hundred thousand dollars.

413
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,720
Every crusade in every village, hundred thousand dollars or two hundred thousand

414
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:28,200
dollars, sometimes upwards of 300, depending on the size and the stadium,

415
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,160
all those things.

416
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:34,040
So we need billion dollar investors.

417
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,640
We need the Phoebe's, the benefactors, the patrons and the patrons,

418
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,960
those who can carry the anointing.

419
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,560
Great. But those who can carry the wealth to sustain revival as well.

420
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,000
We need a calling forward of those people.

421
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,960
And so we need a buying, selling anointing.

422
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,960
We need people who are living within their means.

423
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,520
We need people who are building businesses,

424
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,360
not living off of their job.

425
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,680
We need those like the widow, you know, her circumstances change.

426
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,640
And here, here what the Lord said, you don't have to wait for your

427
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,600
circumstances to change to shift into a business anointing.

428
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:15,400
Remember that that woman, her husband died, the creditors are coming to take her kids.

429
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:16,680
Baylifts are coming round.

430
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,400
I don't know if you call them baylifts in America.

431
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,080
We call them baylifts in the UK.

432
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,200
Tax collectors.

433
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,720
Or you know, the constable, I guess, maybe.

434
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:25,320
Yes.

435
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,320
So they're coming to take everything.

436
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,000
And in the midst of that,

437
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,400
she seeks a profit and the profit doesn't say

438
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,120
Shabba Baba, Rando Kuh Shata, by this time tomorrow.

439
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,120
No. What do you have in your house?

440
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,240
So nothing, just this jar of oil.

441
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,640
And I believe prophetically, your next level is in your house.

442
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,960
It's not some big idea.

443
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,760
It's not some war, amazing thing.

444
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,720
And genius is actually just the thing you called nothing.

445
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,640
It's sitting there, right in front of you.

446
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:02,280
Imagine her whole company was right in her house and she called it nothing.

447
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,640
And all of a sudden, the prophet gave her strategy.

448
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,040
Here's the operative word of 2024.

449
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,040
If you give a succeed, it's not about products, not about services.

450
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:18,840
It's all going to be about supernatural, prophetic strategy.

451
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,520
You're going to have to partner with the prophets and prophetic people

452
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,080
to release strategy.

453
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,440
You know, so so many simple.

454
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:34,720
You know, you go to places like I can't remember the name of that burger restaurant

455
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:40,680
in America that everybody blows up about with the milkshake that has like bacon in it.

456
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,440
You know, what's that?

457
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,120
There's actually several of those.

458
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,440
I mean, it might be in and out burger.

459
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,640
It could be a burger, Tory.

460
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,160
There's one I can't remember off the top of my head.

461
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,920
Shake Shack, different.

462
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,880
You're getting close to a shake.

463
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:57,920
But it's not shake.

464
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,280
Steak and shake.

465
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:00,600
It's not steak and shake.

466
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,840
No, it's popular, very popular franchise.

467
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,400
Oh, it's from my head.

468
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:10,120
Anyway, this company, they sell burgers.

469
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,400
And then they give you the fries for free.

470
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,680
They give you all the toppings for free.

471
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,280
They give you like all the everything else for free.

472
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,680
But then they sell you this burger and you're like, wow, this is a bargain.

473
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,360
I get this burger and I get all my fries and toppings for free.

474
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,880
But what you don't realize is you're actually paying in the burger.

475
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,840
You're paying for the fries and the toppings, but it's all strategy.

476
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:39,640
It's all strategies like a strategy that they've got that makes you feel like you're

477
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,320
doing something, but you're actually doing something that works against your own

478
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,520
interest in a weird way.

479
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,560
We're going to succeed in this season.

480
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,680
Every business, every organization, Christiano,

481
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:54,520
Secular is going to succeed by partnering with profits to release prophetic

482
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,280
strategy over their businesses, over their ideas, their initiatives.

483
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,160
There's going to be some divine revelation that's going to come just like it came

484
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,640
to this woman and she's going to all of a sudden see what she called nothing.

485
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:11,440
Become a multi-million dollar oil business in a desert.

486
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,160
And that's exactly what happened.

487
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,080
Her story turned around because she partnered with prophetic strategy.

488
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,480
Those who don't partner with prophetic strategy are going to partner with

489
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,600
the fear and the spirit of the world.

490
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,440
And the best analogy for this, again, is when

491
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,760
Apostle Paul was stranded on his way to Rome and he prophesied to them,

492
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:35,760
brothers, I proceed this journey is not going to end well for us.

493
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,600
And the Bible says the Centurion, God bless you.

494
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,560
The Bible says the Centurion believed

495
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:51,440
the shipmaster over the profit, believe the professional over the profit.

496
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,720
Believe what the professionals were saying.

497
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:59,720
And look, 2020 became the exaltation of this kind of

498
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:03,160
professional people, intelligence here.

499
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,560
And they started telling believe the professionals, believe the professionals,

500
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,400
believe the science and we now see the science wasn't correct.

501
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,640
And those who told us to believe that their

502
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,400
orthodox are now reneging on what some things they said.

503
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,760
We got to believe what the Lord is saying,

504
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,960
not what man is saying if we're going to succeed.

505
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,280
A man's voice is going to get louder and louder.

506
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,560
Climate this, climate that.

507
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,760
And the prophet's voices have to be amplified as well.

508
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,080
So in the midst of the noise,

509
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,160
we can hear the voice of the Lord.

510
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,200
And so, you know, this widow turned around her life.

511
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:42,600
That's why I said how wealthy you are.

512
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,640
He is wealthy as you want to be.

513
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,080
But she said he said borrow some vessels.

514
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,080
He didn't say borrow six.

515
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,320
He didn't say borrow seven.

516
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:55,120
He said borrow some vessels when when Elijah was about to die.

517
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,480
He told the king strike the ground, strike the air.

518
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,640
He didn't say strike it once or twice.

519
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:01,440
How big do you want?

520
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,600
How successful do you want to be?

521
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,440
How big do you want to dream?

522
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:11,160
You know, because you the Bible says when the jars were filled,

523
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:12,800
the oil stopped.

524
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:19,960
So the secret is borrow as many jars as you can and the oil is going to keep running.

525
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:26,360
The secret is trust God as big as you can trust him to make you a conduit

526
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,560
and a carrier of blessings for nations.

527
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,720
And he's going to do exactly that.

528
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,080
The next thing I can't remember what number I'm on.

529
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,280
We're on to six.

530
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:37,480
We're on to six.

531
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,920
So the word says.

532
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:45,760
Don't wait for World War Three to be announced before you recognize that you

533
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,720
are already crossed into wartime.

534
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,840
And I think we're just waiting for this big announcement to come on the news.

535
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,160
The World War has begun.

536
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,080
No, they're in the spirit.

537
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:04,960
Wars are not declared in the natural wars aren't declared by Winston Churchill's

538
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,080
wars are declared in the spirit.

539
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,040
And the Bible says in Joel chapter three, verse nine,

540
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:14,960
proclaim among the nations, prepare for war.

541
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,720
He said, prepare for war.

542
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,760
He didn't say, let war find you.

543
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,400
And all of a sudden you're anxious and you're worried and you're trying to figure

544
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,160
out what am I going to do with my life?

545
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:32,760
No, he says, be prepared ahead of time for a season of warfare.

546
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,400
What does warfare season look like?

547
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:38,280
I've never I don't know if you've ever been, but I've never been in war.

548
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:44,160
We haven't been in war since the GI generation who knew what wartime was.

549
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,640
You know, maybe we should ask them some questions.

550
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,200
You know, what was wartime like?

551
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,720
How did you how did you live during wartime?

552
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:53,800
How did you survive?

553
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:58,720
There are nations right now going through wartime and us in our generation who have

554
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,560
never seen it before, we're the ones sitting on the sidelines protesting and

555
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:08,240
yelling because we've never experienced what real wartime brings.

556
00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:09,440
What does wartime bring?

557
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:10,840
It brings casualties.

558
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,480
It brings innocent lives being slaughtered.

559
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,320
It brings chaos economically.

560
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,440
It puts us in a place of survival.

561
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,520
But I'll tell you what the biggest thing it does.

562
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,960
It puts us in a place of self governance.

563
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:32,240
Every time wartime struck, people became more self governing and less

564
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,960
reliant on government because government was busy fighting wars.

565
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:43,040
And so all of these companies we've seen set up or institutions we've seen set up

566
00:35:43,240 --> 00:35:47,640
in Britain, for instance, or even in America, you know, the Office of Foreign

567
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,280
Affairs, the Office of this, the Office of Food and Safety, all of these were set

568
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:52,600
up during wartime.

569
00:35:52,800 --> 00:36:00,480
Tinned food that we now stock our houses with, tinned food was from World War

570
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:01,680
One and World War Two.

571
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,960
When you were in ration, you actually put your food in a tin.

572
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,200
But after war, these institutions never go away.

573
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,680
They just become stronger and stronger and demand more from us.

574
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,640
During war, people consolidate.

575
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,280
People build their own security.

576
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,240
People build their own wealth structures.

577
00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:21,640
People build their own survival mechanisms.

578
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:26,440
I was in Nigeria for a year, living in a country where there was no electricity,

579
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,760
no lights, none of those things.

580
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,400
And, you know, we actually lived in the best part of Nigeria.

581
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:33,080
Thank God.

582
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:37,240
But so we had some electricity, lights, all of those things.

583
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:42,840
But we had to hire our own police because there's no police system called

584
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,520
the police in Nigeria, Dal 911 in Nigeria.

585
00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:47,480
They ask you to pay for the petrol.

586
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,440
But they need to come to the crime.

587
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,560
And so it's never a good thing.

588
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:52,520
So you have to build that.

589
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:53,320
There's no health care.

590
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:54,040
You have to build it.

591
00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:55,400
There's no anything.

592
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,080
And so people stop building.

593
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:58,960
Of course, it's very expensive.

594
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:04,880
But in the long run, you become less reliant on government and the whims of government.

595
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:09,120
And you become more reliant on the spirit of God, more reliant on things that he's

596
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:14,160
showing you, more reliant on personal wisdom, personal safety, protection for your family,

597
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,280
all those great things.

598
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,400
So prepare for war.

599
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,720
Beat your clashes into swords.

600
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:24,200
That means whatever was your domestic instrument before for a domestic life,

601
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:29,200
you're going to have to learn to turn that instrument into a wartime weapon

602
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,440
that's effective for where you're going.

603
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:38,080
In other words, whatever job you were doing before, you have to shift that into and beat yourself.

604
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,640
Beating doesn't sound like a good thing, but beat yourself into something that's

605
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,720
effective for the season we're coming into now.

606
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:51,200
So the church has got to learn to do that warfare.

607
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,800
And final thing is you've got to build your own

608
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,040
Gautians. You've got to build your own Gautians.

609
00:37:58,240 --> 00:37:59,520
What is Gautian?

610
00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:07,720
You know, Gautian is this place where the government has no ability to touch.

611
00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:13,760
Gautian is the place where you don't become a victim of the whims of economies.

612
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:15,520
Gautian is the place where you get

613
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:18,960
delivered from the idolatry of election cycles.

614
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:25,600
It's the place where you actually come into being the president of your house,

615
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:30,560
the president of your children, the president of your community.

616
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:35,040
You know, you start building a New Testament or was Antioch.

617
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:39,360
They started building these economic supply chains when they heard that the

618
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,240
believers were going through a tough time.

619
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:46,560
They sent financial relief to those believers because Antioch was wealthy enough.

620
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:53,120
I estimated the wealth of the Antioch church from I think it was at 19.

621
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:54,680
I can't remember which scripture it was,

622
00:38:54,880 --> 00:39:00,520
but it was it was a millions of dollars, US dollar equivalent of the Antioch church.

623
00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:02,880
Oh, they were wealthy people.

624
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,920
So anybody had an issue, it was like, let's just send them relief.

625
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,560
The widows was send relief.

626
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,560
Those in famine, that's some relief.

627
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:17,240
Today's church, I believe, has to build some kind of

628
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,360
economies within ourselves.

629
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:27,280
Now, you know, all kinds of people come to me with all kinds of ideas of what those

630
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,240
economies look like. I don't know what fully it would look like.

631
00:39:31,240 --> 00:39:32,720
I wish I did.

632
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:39,160
But I believe we have to build the kind of economies that when systems begin to fail.

633
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,560
And I think one of them is, you know, I think one of them is agriculture.

634
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,320
I think the church needs to go back to owning

635
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:53,040
owning its own agriculture, owning its own farming animals and cattle and producing

636
00:39:53,240 --> 00:39:54,480
its own vegetation.

637
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,200
You know, the first thing God put them in as a garden.

638
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:04,800
The last thing God did when he returned and died, he came back in a garden.

639
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:11,040
And I believe that we're literally talking about moving back to

640
00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:19,920
to sustenance and self-governance as opposed to relying on government structures.

641
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,240
And that's Genesis 47-23.

642
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,680
Then Joseph said to the people, now that I've acquired you and your land for

643
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:32,520
that pharaoh this day, here is seed for you to sell in the land at harvest time.

644
00:40:32,720 --> 00:40:37,800
You ought to give a fifth of it to Pharaoh and four fifths will be yours.

645
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,240
That's not fair.

646
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,840
But what happens when another politician rises up?

647
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,920
He's not as benevolent as that pharaoh.

648
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,160
He's going to take that up to two fifths and no one, three fifths and no one,

649
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,680
four fifths. I was like, no, we own you.

650
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:55,120
So we we we've got to build with wisdom.

651
00:40:55,120 --> 00:41:00,840
Joseph actually created the very system that enslaved his own people years later.

652
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,000
But he he did under a benevolent dictator.

653
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:09,680
He we've got to build with force right now because to take whoever leads us

654
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,360
democratically or whatever, they're going to change.

655
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,360
And so we've got to build our own

656
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:21,640
unwavering systems that can't be shaken by the whims of the world.

657
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,480
You know, the fall calls it Zion, the city made without human hands,

658
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,920
which I believe is God's wisdom and revelation upon the believers.

659
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:30,600
Wow.

660
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,400
Brother, that's that is some powerful stuff here.

661
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,000
And I can't see all this stuff.

662
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,360
But I took I took notes of everything that you were saying.

663
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,880
And I know that I'm going to have to go through this stuff again.

664
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,360
Because

665
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,640
whenever you whenever people are talking about the future,

666
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,680
whenever people are talking about this is what I feel God saying for the next year.

667
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,080
You know, this is the time of year that we're I mean, literally,

668
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:57,360
I'm gathering a lot of these messages from what God is saying.

669
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,240
And a lot of it's encouraging and some of it is challenging.

670
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:06,160
But what you've just laid out is very apostolic and it's prophetic and apostolic.

671
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:07,920
And it's a plan for us to move forward.

672
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:12,280
And I love how you said that we need to partner with the prophets to be able to

673
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:18,160
put these things into practice so that we will see the provision being being

674
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:24,280
a reality and it's it's something that, you know, very practical of what we can do.

675
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:30,480
And I know that this is going to force me to be praying more about what what I can

676
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:35,880
do and how we can how we can get ready for that next season that is that is ahead of us.

677
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,280
So, brother, thank you so much for sharing this.

678
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:42,320
And I just would like to ask you to pray for those that have been watching and

679
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:47,760
listening to this, that you that there would just be a release in their lives.

680
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,280
Yes. Well, Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray for those watching this right now.

681
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,440
Lord, prophecy is not supposed to incite fear.

682
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,480
It's supposed to awaken us to find solutions.

683
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:05,040
Lord, I ask you, there may be a feeling of, wow, this is a lot to take in.

684
00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:11,960
Father, I ask you, put one step in front of the other in front of your people right now.

685
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:16,400
You said the steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord.

686
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,520
By the Lord begin to order each step.

687
00:43:19,720 --> 00:43:23,800
Lord, we know that we can do nothing without you.

688
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:28,880
Let's in our heart, we boast and say the power of our strength has gained us this wealth.

689
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:34,840
Lord, wealth, resources, the power to create it comes from you.

690
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,960
So Lord, we acknowledge that we acknowledge divine opportunities.

691
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,520
We acknowledge time and chance that happened to all of us.

692
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:50,080
We acknowledge divine favor and connections to people that only you can bring about.

693
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,760
So Lord, I pray for divine serendipities.

694
00:43:53,960 --> 00:44:00,160
I pray for divine moments stumbling into favor in 2024.

695
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,680
Lord, favor is what happens with good understanding.

696
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,640
The Bible says good understanding gives favor.

697
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:14,480
So what I pray, release wisdom, understanding and knowledge onto the body of Christ at large.

698
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,480
Bless Charisma.

699
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,920
Bless their ministry, their organization.

700
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:25,360
Begin to lift it up in the earth as a force of change.

701
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:31,040
And Lord, we pray that at the end of this, we can truly partner with you and say

702
00:44:31,240 --> 00:44:35,120
the kingdoms of the world have become the kingdom of our God and of His Christ.

703
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,120
And He shall reign forever and ever.

704
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:38,800
Finally, I pray for America.

705
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:45,120
Lord, I pray right now during its tumbling season where it's trying to figure out

706
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:51,520
which way it wants to go, bring about a merciful, severe course correction.

707
00:44:51,720 --> 00:44:56,800
A merciful, severe course correction for America.

708
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,800
In Jesus' name, amen.

709
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:00,840
Amen.

710
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:01,640
Amen.

711
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,360
Apostle Tomi Arayomi, thank you so much

712
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:10,120
for sharing this wisdom that God has imparted into you with our audience.

713
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:11,800
And brother, we bless you.

714
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,360
We look forward to hearing more of what God has to say through you.

715
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:34,520
Amen. Thank you.
