Unveiling the Mystery of Manifestation: Darkness or Divine Alignment?

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,800
Manifest, the Cambridge Dictionary declared it 2024's Word of the Year.

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:09,460
But what if I told you this word carries a secret, one that could change your life or

3
00:00:09,460 --> 00:00:10,600
lead you astray?

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,920
By the end of this video, you'll uncover a mystery most people never see.

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,040
Today we're uncovering the mystery of manifestation.

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,780
You've seen the term everywhere, but do you really understand what's behind it?

7
00:00:21,780 --> 00:00:25,480
Stick around, because what you discover might just shock you.

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,600
Manifestation, it's the buzzword of the year.

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,680
A promise of control over your own destiny.

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,560
Celebrities and influencers like Dua Lipa, Gabby Thomas, and Simone Biles have made the

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,520
practice a trending topic.

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:42,500
Although Manifest has multiple definitions, the meaning associated with its rise in popularity

13
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:48,120
is to use methods such as visualization and affirmation to help you imagine achieving

14
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:53,700
something you want, in the belief that doing so will make it more likely to happen.

15
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:56,240
But not all manifestation is what it seems.

16
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,800
Let's hear what Joseph Zee has to say about things manifesting in this day and age.

17
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,800
Well, you know, sometimes the natural things we see, they speak of the invisible.

18
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,200
You know, this natural world is an extension of the spirit world.

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:15,040
And so when you see things that are trying to manifest in the culture, manifest in society,

20
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,360
good or bad, many times it's a representation of what's going on in the spirit realm.

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,360
This is so important.

22
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,720
One of the things I began to see, and I'm praying about this, is I saw two forms of

23
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,680
deviant prophetic voices that are going to manifest more and more.

24
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,680
Two deviants, two types.

25
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,680
One, there's the John the Baptist type, which, you know, we both know that the John the Baptist

26
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,680
type is great.

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,680
We want John the Baptist to rise up.

28
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,860
We want John the Baptist to stand up and offend the institutions and shake them to repentance.

29
00:01:44,860 --> 00:01:45,860
He's a deviant.

30
00:01:45,860 --> 00:01:46,860
It's what he does.

31
00:01:46,860 --> 00:01:47,920
He doesn't fit in well.

32
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,840
He doesn't play well with others.

33
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,360
But then there's a second type of deviant prophetic voice.

34
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,760
Things that are prophesying out of their own soul, out of their own ideology, and out of

35
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,160
their own worldview.

36
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:04,280
Yes, there are things being fulfilled, but we also have to take a very big grain of salt

37
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,280
and be humble because we need to realize some of the experts in the law didn't get it right

38
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,280
the first time.

39
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,440
And we're here on the last of the last days.

40
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,080
But I believe, census pleniar says, we could have a deeper, fuller meaning.

41
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,680
We could be seeing prophetic events manifesting that will continue to manifest.

42
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:26,000
And they'll kind of be like they repeat themselves over and over again until the Lord actually

43
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,000
returns.

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,920
So John, it could be, could be, that although we're at the last of the last days and Jesus

45
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:35,920
could return right now while we're on this broadcast, he could.

46
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:39,920
We could also be seeing a very long season of time in front of us.

47
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:41,160
So we need to build like it.

48
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,400
We need to work like it.

49
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,360
We need to honor the Lord Jesus in this time that we're living.

50
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,660
That's what I believe.

51
00:02:46,660 --> 00:02:51,680
On one side, there's a seductive power that claims to put you in the driver's seat on

52
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,200
the other, a divine truth that aligns you with something far greater.

53
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,600
The difference.

54
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,040
It's the key to this mystery.

55
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,820
Let's begin with the dark side, new age or demonic manifestation.

56
00:03:04,820 --> 00:03:09,800
It promises power through alignment with the universe, affirmations and rituals.

57
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,840
But here's the twist.

58
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,360
That power doesn't come free.

59
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,460
What's the cost?

60
00:03:15,460 --> 00:03:16,460
Stay with me.

61
00:03:16,460 --> 00:03:22,680
The Bible warns us in second Corinthians 1114 that even Satan can appear as an angel of

62
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:29,280
light practices that seem harmless might be doors to forces you can't control.

63
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:35,480
But there's another side, a hidden ancient truth, biblical manifestation.

64
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,120
It's not about your power, but unlocking God's promises.

65
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,280
Proverbs three, five and six holds a clue.

66
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:48,480
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

67
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:49,940
This isn't just a practice.

68
00:03:49,940 --> 00:03:51,460
It's a partnership.

69
00:03:51,460 --> 00:03:55,840
Biblical manifestation is about faith, obedience and divine alignment.

70
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,720
But how does it work?

71
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,080
The answer lies in what we call prophetic manifestation.

72
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,520
Prophetic manifestation brings God's word to life in ways that you can't orchestrate.

73
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,780
It's not a method.

74
00:04:08,780 --> 00:04:13,480
It's a mystery, a mystery that begins when you surrender.

75
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,320
Let's hear what Alan DiDio has to say about the Holy Spirit manifesting.

76
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,280
This word is being used more than ever.

77
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:21,280
Manifest.

78
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:22,280
We're going to see demonic manifestation.

79
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:25,320
We're going to see iniquity and sin manifest.

80
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:30,240
But what if the church got a hold of that word and said, we are going to create an atmosphere

81
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:36,320
conducive to the manifestation of the Holy Spirit who is smarter than every AI model

82
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:43,000
out there who has more insight, wisdom, strength, power, anointing than the enemy because greater

83
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,360
is he that is in us than he that is in the world.

84
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,800
Tell the people this is what the sovereign Lord says.

85
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:52,160
I will put an end to this proverb that says prophetic words aren't coming to pass and

86
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,920
you will stop quoting it.

87
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,120
Now give them this new proverb to replace the old one.

88
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,800
The time has come for every prophecy to be fulfilled.

89
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,240
What if it's time for the manifestation of every prophetic word that's been spoken over

90
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,080
your life to be fulfilled in 25?

91
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,480
This is the year to see the manifestation of every promise that God has given you manifest.

92
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:16,800
And sometimes God's signs and wonders manifest in ways that leave us in awe.

93
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:22,160
For example, Pastor Brian Gibson shared an incredible story of gold dust and holy oil

94
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,520
manifesting in his church.

95
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,920
There's so many testimonies we're forgetting about the miracles now.

96
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,440
So we're trying to do due diligence to make sure somebody's journaling, you know, the

97
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,200
testimonies when they come back in because you don't want to lose.

98
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,960
You want to celebrate appropriately what God has done.

99
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,880
It's just been amazing.

100
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,120
But there have been some odd manifestations to it.

101
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,240
My dad reports, man, your dog is totally healed.

102
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,960
I don't know what's happened.

103
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,960
His leg is no longer broken.

104
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,520
It touched my dad and my dad got born again.

105
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:59,440
So my dad got born again because some prophet manifested a bizarre manifestation, right?

106
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,640
Gave a word of knowledge and God healed a dog.

107
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,280
There's going to be so many people, so many people make fun of me for this story, but

108
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:08,600
I'm telling you, it's, it's, I was there.

109
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,600
It happened.

110
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:10,760
It's, it's the power of God.

111
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:16,120
So I haven't seen those manifestations for about 20 years.

112
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,000
But they started showing up at our church again.

113
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,360
And gold would start just, I don't know, it's like gold dust, gold, whatever you want to

114
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,360
call it.

115
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,080
You know, I shouldn't even call it gold because I haven't like taken in, haven't tested.

116
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,960
I'm just telling you, it shows up everywhere and I wouldn't even collect it.

117
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,640
You know, I haven't collected it, but I've collected some of the stuff that comes in

118
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:37,640
like that.

119
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:38,640
Yeah.

120
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,640
Yeah.

121
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,480
I mean, people pick it up and carry it out all the time, this stuff and, and it comes

122
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,480
thicker at times.

123
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,960
So I wouldn't even talk about it because I know, you know, the kind of like harassment

124
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,360
and what people are going to say.

125
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,680
And it's, it's, it is hard to explain.

126
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,680
Yeah.

127
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,700
And you don't want your church to become that destination.

128
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:55,700
That's not what I want.

129
00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:57,840
That's I'm a gospel preacher, right?

130
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:02,520
So, so you know, guys that have like deliverance ministries, I'm not that guy.

131
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,260
I'm a gospel preacher.

132
00:07:04,260 --> 00:07:06,120
So do I cast out devils?

133
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,120
Yeah.

134
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,120
Am I a healing guy?

135
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,160
No, I'm a gospel guy.

136
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,380
So when I preach the gospel, people get healed.

137
00:07:11,380 --> 00:07:16,300
So for me, gospel is center and these other manifestations, they happen because when you

138
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:18,480
preach the gospel stuff happens, right?

139
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,640
Signs and wonders, follow them that believes.

140
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:25,880
So other manifestations happen too, like oil will just show up and pour out of people's

141
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,380
hands.

142
00:07:27,380 --> 00:07:31,240
And pretty amazing manifestation of the spirit.

143
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,280
And some people will say, well, what is the purpose?

144
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,000
I'll give you an example.

145
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,920
I think it's God showing that he can break into the now anytime he wants to.

146
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:40,920
Right?

147
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,920
And then I think when people get hungry enough for God, the atmosphere gets thinner.

148
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,320
The Celtic Christians talked about a thin place, right?

149
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,440
They would even dedicate places of prayer.

150
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,960
They would say it was a thin place.

151
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,200
And the idea was the veil between man and God has gotten thin.

152
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,680
When I think about heaven, I think about a place with streets paved with gold.

153
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,760
I think about a crystal sea.

154
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,080
I think about gemstones.

155
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,800
I think about all this stuff that's beautiful.

156
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,960
I think maybe the veil gets thin enough, a little bit of heaven blows into the atmosphere.

157
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,640
And that's what you're seeing.

158
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,680
Let your kingdom come, your will be done on earth.

159
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,880
I mean, that's what we've been praying.

160
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,200
As it is in heaven, yeah.

161
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,200
Yeah.

162
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,880
So that's the best I can explain and do with it.

163
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:29,240
Now, I'll say this, the oil thing, I had a buddy and oil started like it would pour

164
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,600
out of my, it still pours out of my hands when I preach and stuff.

165
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,320
And almost always if I'm ministering, there's oil in the palms of my hands now.

166
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,880
And it's hard on suits, but it's a glorious manifestation.

167
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,960
But I had a buddy, I was telling him I was getting ready to preach for him.

168
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,580
I said, man, I got this oil has been showing up in my meetings.

169
00:08:47,580 --> 00:08:50,000
These are not just random occurrences.

170
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,160
They're biblical signs pointing to God's glory and presence.

171
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,680
These moments remind us of the miraculous nature of God.

172
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:03,600
In the Bible, signs and wonders often accompanied the move of God, a testament to his power

173
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,000
and holiness.

174
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:12,160
But how do we ensure we're experiencing true divine wonders and not counterfeit manifestations?

175
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,000
How do you tell the difference?

176
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,720
It's simpler than you think.

177
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,440
Here are three clues.

178
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,720
What is its source of power?

179
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,340
New age practices draw from self or unknown forces.

180
00:09:24,340 --> 00:09:29,280
Biblical manifestation draws from the creator of the universe.

181
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:30,640
Purpose.

182
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,320
One feeds your desires.

183
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,320
The other fulfills God's divine plan.

184
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,780
Process.

185
00:09:37,780 --> 00:09:41,200
New age skips submission and obedience.

186
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,840
Biblical manifestation thrives on both.

187
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,440
Manifestation isn't just a concept.

188
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:48,440
It's a choice.

189
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:53,200
A choice to partner with darkness or with light.

190
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,880
Matthew 633 gives us the ultimate key.

191
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,440
Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you

192
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:02,440
as well.

193
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:03,440
Thank you for watching.

194
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,360

Dig deeper and remember, the greatest mysteries aren't solved, they're revealed.
