Prophecy Revealed: How a 1981 Word Relates to TODAY! - Alan Didio

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,840
You know, there's so much going on in the world it's difficult to really understand. Even those of us who are

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,800
following the Lord and reading the Bible. Sometimes you look at the Bible and you think how does this apply?

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:16,960
But you know in my long career as a Christian journalist, I've tried to help people understand

4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,600
what God is saying.

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,520
And one of the things that I have done, and I'm not the only one to do this,

6
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:27,940
is to tap in to people that God has anointed

7
00:00:27,940 --> 00:00:29,940
to help us understand.

8
00:00:30,820 --> 00:00:35,460
Hello everyone, I'm Stephen Strang and welcome to the Strang Report. My guest today

9
00:00:36,180 --> 00:00:39,940
is Pastor Alan DiDio from Charlotte, North Carolina.

10
00:00:40,580 --> 00:00:43,300
And God has raised him up as a prophetic voice.

11
00:00:44,180 --> 00:00:46,180
He is a YouTuber

12
00:00:46,180 --> 00:00:50,820
that's a relatively new phenomenon. He's got half a million followers,

13
00:00:51,540 --> 00:00:53,540
including me.

14
00:00:53,540 --> 00:00:56,900
I'm reading his book right now. Maybe we'll talk about that a little bit.

15
00:00:56,900 --> 00:01:01,780
But I reached out to him and I said I want to do a podcast on what you believe

16
00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:05,140
God is saying with all this stuff going on.

17
00:01:06,020 --> 00:01:13,540
With Trump being found guilty, with all the stuff about Biden falling down and all these things, all this speculation,

18
00:01:14,020 --> 00:01:16,020
with Gay Pride Month

19
00:01:16,580 --> 00:01:21,060
dominating the news. You can't turn anywhere and not see about Pride Month.

20
00:01:21,060 --> 00:01:25,800
So you don't want to miss my conversation with Alan DiDio. Stay tuned.

21
00:01:34,980 --> 00:01:40,020
Welcome back and Alan, thank you for fitting this in. I know you're so very, very busy.

22
00:01:40,020 --> 00:01:44,980
I mean just doing your own podcast and pastoring your church up there in Charlotte.

23
00:01:44,980 --> 00:01:50,100
It's an honor to be with you, honestly. Anytime I have a chance to talk with you,

24
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:54,900
you're a well of wisdom. And I know your viewers already know this, but the people you've connected with over the years,

25
00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:59,700
normally you and I get lost in conversation because I want to hear about, oh you knew this person?

26
00:01:59,700 --> 00:02:02,900
Yeah, I knew that person. I interviewed them. I'm like, oh well tell me about that person.

27
00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:06,260
So it's an honor to talk with you. Thank you. Well, thank you.

28
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:08,900
Really what you're saying is I'm an old guy

29
00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:12,180
and I've known a lot of people over the years.

30
00:02:12,180 --> 00:02:19,620
And of course in my line of work, it's my job to kind of know who's doing what.

31
00:02:20,580 --> 00:02:29,700
So when I reached out to you, you sent me a very interesting email on something that you felt the Lord was saying.

32
00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:37,380
And I want to kind of start there. And also there's a prophetic word that you found from 1981.

33
00:02:37,380 --> 00:02:40,340
I think it's so interesting to find these prophetic words.

34
00:02:40,340 --> 00:02:44,500
You know, I've been covering prophecy. Listen, I'm a big advocate of prophecy.

35
00:02:45,220 --> 00:02:53,140
It's one of the ministry gifts, of course, but it's so abused or at least it seems to be either people totally

36
00:02:54,020 --> 00:03:01,940
ignore it and say it's not for today or some people actually use it for manipulation.

37
00:03:01,940 --> 00:03:08,580
That's probably a discussion for a different day. Or they're just cavalier about what's prophesied.

38
00:03:08,580 --> 00:03:12,820
So I was so interested to watch this video. In fact, I watched it several times.

39
00:03:13,540 --> 00:03:18,420
But start with what you were sharing with me that I think is so important

40
00:03:19,060 --> 00:03:24,420
for my viewers and listeners today to hear. What is God saying to you about America?

41
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:29,700
Well, leading into the last election, before the last election, I was asking the Lord about,

42
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:33,460
you know, what are you saying right now? And he gave me one word and the word was terminal.

43
00:03:34,020 --> 00:03:38,180
And the term terminal, obviously negative connotations come to mind.

44
00:03:38,180 --> 00:03:42,500
It means the end of life coming to the conclusion. It means to be near death.

45
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:46,420
But there's another meaning to it as well that also means a convergence,

46
00:03:46,420 --> 00:03:50,420
a place of convergence where things come together. And the Lord spoke to me and said,

47
00:03:50,420 --> 00:03:55,220
the future of America will be determined by their reaction to me. And it'll be terminal.

48
00:03:55,220 --> 00:04:01,700
It'll either be the end or it'll be a convergence where things come together and power is generated.

49
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:06,900
But as I sought the Lord more in depth on that word terminal, because there seemed to be an emphasis

50
00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:10,580
on the negative side of that, the Lord spoke these words to me. And when I

51
00:04:10,580 --> 00:04:15,380
initially shared it on my broadcast on Encounter Today, it upset a lot of people. But I think

52
00:04:15,380 --> 00:04:19,860
people need to hear this, but hear it all the way through. The first words he gave me were,

53
00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:27,940
America will not survive, but she can be revived. So I began to dig into that. And again, this was

54
00:04:27,940 --> 00:04:32,980
before the last election. And if anyone looks back over the last four years or even over the

55
00:04:32,980 --> 00:04:38,340
last eight years, America is not what she was, even further than that, obviously. But America

56
00:04:38,340 --> 00:04:44,500
is not what she was. I think we could honestly say that the America that we knew, that we loved,

57
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:49,140
is no longer in existence. But does that mean that her best days are behind her? I don't believe

58
00:04:49,140 --> 00:04:56,580
that's true. America will not survive, but she can be revived. And immediately, my mind went to

59
00:04:56,580 --> 00:05:03,380
John chapter 11 with the story of Lazarus, where Lazarus was dead and Jesus wept over the situation.

60
00:05:03,380 --> 00:05:07,220
And people thought it was because of Lazarus' condition. And it wasn't Lazarus' condition.

61
00:05:07,220 --> 00:05:12,020
He was weeping over the unbelief of those around him, that they didn't think that he could revive

62
00:05:12,020 --> 00:05:17,220
a dead situation. And he said, I am the resurrection and the life. And I think the same message needs

63
00:05:17,220 --> 00:05:21,780
to be given to the American church today, many of whom are weeping over the condition of America.

64
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:26,820
They need to be emboldened in their faith to know that he is the resurrection and the life,

65
00:05:26,820 --> 00:05:32,500
and that like Lazarus, America, though dead, can be revived, and her greatest days could be in front

66
00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:41,220
of her. Well, what is this form going to take? You know, all my life, people have been talking

67
00:05:41,220 --> 00:05:50,340
about revival, and we've seen a few revivals. The Jesus movement of the 1970s, the late 60s and early

68
00:05:50,340 --> 00:05:58,260
70s was a revival. There are a lot of things that you can point to. I mean, even Calvary Chapel came

69
00:05:58,260 --> 00:06:04,260
out of that revival, and a lot of the leaders today were greatly influenced by that revival,

70
00:06:04,260 --> 00:06:11,300
including people like Mario Morillo. And if I can humbly say myself, the Catholic Charismatic

71
00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:18,100
Renewal was a revival. And then, of course, there was revivals at Brownsville, in Florida, in Toronto.

72
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:27,620
So, you know, they tend to come and go. But even people like Rodney Howard Brown, or I'll even say

73
00:06:27,620 --> 00:06:32,660
people like Charles and Francis Hunter, had great followings, made a lot of difference. People got

74
00:06:32,660 --> 00:06:41,620
excited. A lot of lives were changed. But Alan, it's hard to measure the long-term effect of that.

75
00:06:41,620 --> 00:06:48,660
The wider culture probably doesn't even know who the happy hunters were, or Rodney Howard Brown,

76
00:06:48,660 --> 00:06:55,300
other than he's got a great ministry in Tampa, Florida. But it's almost like our culture rejects

77
00:06:55,300 --> 00:07:04,740
anything of the gospel, saying it's just religion. And it seems to me that a lot of Christian leaders

78
00:07:04,740 --> 00:07:14,580
actually are timid to get out there in the fray, lest they be criticized or ostracized or whatever.

79
00:07:14,580 --> 00:07:15,780
What do you think?

80
00:07:15,780 --> 00:07:19,620
Yeah, I don't think there's any question about it. It's really hard to measure the impact of revival

81
00:07:19,620 --> 00:07:23,780
in the moment. If you study revival history, those in the Second Great Awakening, even in the First

82
00:07:23,780 --> 00:07:28,580
Great Awakening, they didn't realize, many of them had no clue that they were in the middle of a

83
00:07:28,580 --> 00:07:32,420
great awakening. They just thought the Lord was moving in their personal lives, and they made

84
00:07:32,420 --> 00:07:37,780
individual choices. They decided to live holy. They made better choices for their families and

85
00:07:37,780 --> 00:07:43,380
for themselves individually, not knowing that those individual choices culminated in a turnaround

86
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:47,860
for the United States of America. And I think the same is true for us today. It's really hard to

87
00:07:47,860 --> 00:07:54,100
gauge and to judge the impact of what's happening, even when we look at Roe versus Wade being

88
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:58,420
overturned. That was done in the middle of the Biden administration, and we would have thought

89
00:07:58,420 --> 00:08:00,980
that something like that would have been done in the middle of the Trump administration, even

90
00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:05,780
if he triggered it through the appointment of certain judges. But that just goes to show you,

91
00:08:05,780 --> 00:08:12,020
individual decisions, small decisions, seemingly insignificant, made for the glory of God. When

92
00:08:12,020 --> 00:08:17,140
they accumulate, they have a cumulative effect on society and on culture. And I think what's

93
00:08:17,140 --> 00:08:22,500
happening here is that over the last four years in particular, but eight specifically, there's been

94
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:27,460
an awakening of people deciding to make different decisions, not only about who they vote for, but

95
00:08:27,460 --> 00:08:31,140
why they vote the way they vote, the things that they talk about, the things they're willing to

96
00:08:31,140 --> 00:08:36,580
submit to, the things they're willing to do. And these small things that have begun to accumulate,

97
00:08:36,580 --> 00:08:40,420
I think people are at a point now where they've just said enough is enough. So I think we're

98
00:08:40,420 --> 00:08:44,420
going to see the results of it. It just can't be measured in the moment that we're in right now.

99
00:08:44,420 --> 00:08:50,420
Boy, I agree with you. In fact, I had the opportunity to be interviewed on Fox News,

100
00:08:50,420 --> 00:08:55,460
and the reporter was asking me about Christians, you know, who are they supporting and so on.

101
00:08:55,460 --> 00:09:00,820
And we're not here to discuss that, but I'll just say that I said that a lot of people are saying

102
00:09:00,820 --> 00:09:09,380
enough is enough. And that's one reason why they, in my opinion, a lot of Christians back Trump,

103
00:09:09,380 --> 00:09:14,820
even though he is not exactly the... A paragon of holiness.

104
00:09:16,820 --> 00:09:23,380
You know, I do believe he's cleaned up his act, and all of us have been forgiven of things in our past.

105
00:09:23,380 --> 00:09:32,580
You know, we're not here to discuss that, but I think that we need not avoid certain things,

106
00:09:32,580 --> 00:09:38,660
trying to be... I think there is almost a political correctness in the church. You're not supposed to

107
00:09:38,660 --> 00:09:44,420
talk about certain things. You're not supposed to bring politics into it. And I think that part of

108
00:09:44,420 --> 00:09:50,260
the problem is, you know, our country's been divided, and this tendency in our country has

109
00:09:50,260 --> 00:09:55,940
been going on for a long, long time. I mean, you can draw a straight line back to Woodrow Wilson,

110
00:09:55,940 --> 00:10:03,140
and a lot of the things that happened in the 1920s. There were communists in the universities in the

111
00:10:03,140 --> 00:10:08,180
30s, but that was kind of squelched by World War II, you know, and we could... And then there was

112
00:10:08,180 --> 00:10:12,420
the Cold War and all this other kind of stuff going on, the civil rights movement, the war in Vietnam.

113
00:10:12,420 --> 00:10:19,540
And the left has been getting its way for a long, long time. Now, meanwhile, there have been revivals,

114
00:10:19,540 --> 00:10:28,980
and I think that you're absolutely right. It's hard to see the effect of revival until later.

115
00:10:30,020 --> 00:10:36,900
I sense that there is kind of a groundswell. There's an awful lot of young people in what

116
00:10:36,900 --> 00:10:42,260
they call Gen Z, who are actually turned on for the Lord. It tends to be a relatively small

117
00:10:42,260 --> 00:10:48,100
percentage, but you know what? It's always been a relatively small percentage of young people that

118
00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:54,660
were turned on even during the Jesus movement. But I will say, listen, that was my generation,

119
00:10:54,660 --> 00:11:00,020
and it looked like a whole generation was going to hell in a handbasket, and something shifted in our

120
00:11:00,020 --> 00:11:05,460
country. You know, everybody was a hippie back then. You don't even find a hippie in the country.

121
00:11:05,460 --> 00:11:11,220
You don't even find a hippie, except for a handful of people in the mountains of Northern California,

122
00:11:12,020 --> 00:11:14,740
you know, who are bald.

123
00:11:14,740 --> 00:11:18,100
You and I know a few believers who are still carrying the torch.

124
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:24,260
Oh, well, maybe so. But I mean, it actually shifted the whole country. The whole country

125
00:11:24,260 --> 00:11:29,860
kind of became a little bit more conservative. And we're not talking about politically,

126
00:11:29,860 --> 00:11:37,220
necessarily. But we need that kind of shift to happen. The news media, of course,

127
00:11:38,180 --> 00:11:44,500
is not our friend at all. But the news media never has. You know, back when I was a young

128
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:52,260
journalist, the news media was biased against Christians and things of the Lord. And the

129
00:11:52,260 --> 00:11:59,700
politicians were, too. So why do you think is going to happen in the next six months or a year?

130
00:12:00,420 --> 00:12:05,140
Where is this going? How is America revived?

131
00:12:05,860 --> 00:12:10,580
Well, to speak to what you just said, Samuel Adams, at the founding of this nation, said,

132
00:12:10,580 --> 00:12:17,700
it does not take a majority, but an irate minority bent on setting brush fires in the hearts and minds

133
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:24,420
of men and women. And what is unique now to the body of Christ, as well as to this generation,

134
00:12:24,420 --> 00:12:32,020
is their access to social media. Meaning, they're able to communicate how their minds have changed,

135
00:12:32,020 --> 00:12:36,500
how they've been transformed with more people than they ever have before. When you talk about

136
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:39,620
the political correctness of the day, this generation is done with political correctness.

137
00:12:39,620 --> 00:12:44,180
They're done with the party politics, which, of course, George Washington warned against

138
00:12:44,180 --> 00:12:48,580
the dangers of party politics. We're at a place right now where people are just fed up

139
00:12:49,140 --> 00:12:54,580
with that entire system, and they want to see genuine truth. This is what Mario Morillo refers

140
00:12:54,580 --> 00:13:00,260
to stolen thunder when we have people like Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro fill stadiums with people

141
00:13:00,260 --> 00:13:03,780
coming. And there's not a light show. There's no concert. There's no music. There's no smoke

142
00:13:03,780 --> 00:13:08,740
machine. There's no fog machine. People just want to hear somebody being genuine and telling

143
00:13:08,740 --> 00:13:13,140
the truth about what's going on around them. And I think if the church will get a hold of that and

144
00:13:13,140 --> 00:13:17,220
realize that it's not about the show, it's not about how good your music is or your children's

145
00:13:17,220 --> 00:13:20,740
ministry, although all those things can be important, if we could just get back to being

146
00:13:20,740 --> 00:13:26,180
genuine, genuinely telling the truth, we're going to see a transformation. I think they have

147
00:13:26,180 --> 00:13:32,900
overplayed their hand over the last few years with what's been happening with Trump. Even liberals

148
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:37,380
are seeing how radical and how crazy and how partisan this has become, and they don't want

149
00:13:37,380 --> 00:13:41,380
anything to do with it. So when I think about the election, if I can be honest with you, when I think

150
00:13:41,380 --> 00:13:46,740
about what's coming, it's hard for me to imagine Trump on the ballot. Not because I wouldn't support

151
00:13:46,740 --> 00:13:49,940
that, not because I wouldn't vote for that, not because I don't think he'll be there. But every

152
00:13:49,940 --> 00:13:55,300
time I try to think about it, the Lord takes my mind back to the church. Because when I try to

153
00:13:55,300 --> 00:14:00,260
think about whatever political candidate is going to be on the ballot, he takes my mind back to the

154
00:14:00,260 --> 00:14:05,540
church, specifically to Revelation 2 and 3, that we need to get our house in order. And don't be

155
00:14:05,540 --> 00:14:10,740
putting all of our eggs in one political basket. That's going to be helpful, getting someone in

156
00:14:10,740 --> 00:14:14,900
office who'll do what's right in the eyes of the Lord. They don't have to be saved, they just need

157
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:19,860
to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord. That's helpful. But when we become dependent on that,

158
00:14:19,860 --> 00:14:24,260
that's when it becomes a problem. So we all need to rally, we need to support, we need to put

159
00:14:24,260 --> 00:14:29,940
that individual in office. But I believe that the church needs to recognize we are the answer.

160
00:14:29,940 --> 00:14:35,140
And what happens locally is going to be the most important thing that happens in the coming years.

161
00:14:35,140 --> 00:14:40,420
Your city council, your county commission, your school board, your sheriff's office. That's where

162
00:14:40,420 --> 00:14:46,260
the real power lies. So no matter what mandates come down from the top, if we can get our foothold

163
00:14:46,260 --> 00:14:49,380
in the local community, we can see transformation. And I think that's what's happening. We're seeing

164
00:14:49,380 --> 00:14:55,380
this with school board meetings, churches showing up and rallying around conservative values and

165
00:14:55,380 --> 00:15:00,500
kicking out a lot of these radical liberal ideas where they want to transition your kids without

166
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:06,020
approval from parents. Just what's happening right now is it's so triggering in a good way

167
00:15:06,020 --> 00:15:10,820
to Christians that we're going to see the reaction we've been looking for for a long, long time.

168
00:15:10,820 --> 00:15:13,540
It's just, it's sad it had to take this long to get there.

169
00:15:14,180 --> 00:15:20,980
And this is more than just one election or one politician. Because even if Donald Trump is

170
00:15:20,980 --> 00:15:26,340
elected, and I believe that he will, I believe that that's the way the trends are going,

171
00:15:26,900 --> 00:15:31,460
just because of the nature of what's happening. He's only going to be in for four years.

172
00:15:31,460 --> 00:15:38,100
We're going to have a lot of these same problems in the future. So it's going to take

173
00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:45,940
people getting involved. And you're right, the church has to rise up. But I think a lot of

174
00:15:45,940 --> 00:15:51,700
Christians, me included, are hesitant to get involved in politics because the parties and

175
00:15:52,660 --> 00:16:00,020
the political process is just so vile. And it's not a whole lot of difference in either party.

176
00:16:00,020 --> 00:16:06,180
Yeah, that's exactly right. The establishment, the uniparty that we've discovered since the

177
00:16:06,180 --> 00:16:12,020
era of Trump, more so than we ever had before, we see that it's really just one big political system

178
00:16:12,020 --> 00:16:16,820
that feeds off of itself and uses us. You know, politics, the common phrase,

179
00:16:16,820 --> 00:16:21,620
poly meaning many, ticks mean blood sucking animals. That's funny.

180
00:16:23,060 --> 00:16:27,140
That's what we're dealing with. And more than ever, we used to get on our partisan sides and

181
00:16:27,140 --> 00:16:31,940
think we can't criticize our own side because that'll hinder them from winning. And so we just

182
00:16:31,940 --> 00:16:37,060
have, we get in this team sport. I think that's broken now. I think Trump broke that for a lot

183
00:16:37,060 --> 00:16:41,780
of people. And we realized we're going to hold all the politicians accountable, whether they say

184
00:16:41,780 --> 00:16:44,580
they're for us, whether they say they're conservative. We want to know for sure. We're

185
00:16:44,580 --> 00:16:48,820
going to watch every move you make and we're going to hold your feet to the fire. But with

186
00:16:48,820 --> 00:16:53,220
everything we've seen, we've seen, it seems like every election, you would know this better than I,

187
00:16:53,220 --> 00:16:58,660
it seems to be more messianic in nature, the way we talk about it, as if, you know, this president

188
00:16:58,660 --> 00:17:03,540
is going to stop the rising of the seas and this one is going to clean, cleanse the swamp and this

189
00:17:03,540 --> 00:17:07,860
one's going to do this. But I think it's never been more urgent than it is right now. I think

190
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:12,340
it really is the most important election of our time. And you and I were talking about this and

191
00:17:12,340 --> 00:17:19,460
we were going over this prophetic word that Charles Caps gave way back in 1981. And it's so

192
00:17:19,460 --> 00:17:26,580
stunningly and eerily specific to what we're dealing with now. It's hard to imagine what else

193
00:17:26,580 --> 00:17:30,820
it could have been talking about. And of course, we're talking about that and Charles Caps is,

194
00:17:30,820 --> 00:17:32,980
you're like, well, I knew him and I spent some time with him.

195
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:39,540
Well, I'm glad you mentioned Charles Caps because I want to play that. And, you know,

196
00:17:39,540 --> 00:17:48,660
if you watch the news media, they say practically nothing about God, the church, anything, unless

197
00:17:48,660 --> 00:17:54,980
it's somehow making fun of it. So they wouldn't take into account at all. And listen, if you watch

198
00:17:54,980 --> 00:18:01,460
the news media, you get depressed. God isn't doing anything. No one goes to church. No one cares about

199
00:18:01,460 --> 00:18:11,940
the Bible. But seeing a prophecy like this from 1981 is very, very encouraging. So let's watch it.

200
00:18:11,940 --> 00:18:20,420
Then I want you to comment on it. There are going to be men that are going to be framed

201
00:18:20,420 --> 00:18:26,580
and conspiracies against them to remove them from high positions and to keep some from getting in

202
00:18:26,580 --> 00:18:35,220
high positions. There will be great pains and great effort given to put them down, expose them,

203
00:18:35,220 --> 00:18:41,220
and reveal things that are lies against them to deliver them from high government positions.

204
00:18:41,220 --> 00:18:49,700
But in the end, it shall be that there will be a turning around of what the enemy has wrought

205
00:18:49,700 --> 00:18:55,780
and bring forth the manifestation. And those that have done it will be exposed and expelled.

206
00:18:55,780 --> 00:19:02,100
And those that have been conspired against shall rise to higher government position.

207
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:07,540
For this nation shall walk in the ways of the Lord, for my people have interceded and called

208
00:19:07,540 --> 00:19:13,300
upon me and believe me for supernatural things. And now you're going to see it, says the Lord.

209
00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:19,780
Glory to God. Hallelujah. Blessed be God forevermore. Thank you, Father.

210
00:19:20,820 --> 00:19:25,540
So explain what we just heard and how that relates to 2024.

211
00:19:26,100 --> 00:19:31,300
Praise God, right? And what an accurate picture of what, not only the Trump administration,

212
00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:36,660
many people have said this, but bears repeating that it's not about Trump. It's about you. He's

213
00:19:36,660 --> 00:19:41,540
a proxy for you. If they can take him down, they can take you down. And the accusations that have

214
00:19:41,540 --> 00:19:46,660
come against him, and going into the election, I actually compared Trump to Joash. And when

215
00:19:46,660 --> 00:19:52,500
Athaliah, the daughter of Jezebel, began to take power, she thought she had kicked out all of the

216
00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:57,300
righteous seed, but they managed to preserve Joash. And when they brought him back in, she began to

217
00:19:57,300 --> 00:20:04,740
cry, treason, treason. And the people of God rose up against her and was able to put a righteous man

218
00:20:04,740 --> 00:20:09,780
in power. Now, I think where we are right now is very, very similar. And what an exciting word by

219
00:20:09,780 --> 00:20:14,980
Charles Capps. And Annette Capps has done an amazing job of taking that ministry to the next level.

220
00:20:16,820 --> 00:20:21,700
The trajectory of his ministry was interesting. You knew him, you knew him, and you knew that he

221
00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:27,060
was a faith teacher. He was a farmer who got saved and began to teach based off his agricultural

222
00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:32,660
experience, how that applied to the Word of God. And then all of a sudden, after decades of ministry,

223
00:20:32,660 --> 00:20:38,500
the Lord spoke to him and had him shift his focus to an end-time eschatological focus.

224
00:20:39,300 --> 00:20:43,460
And I wonder if that's parabolic to what he's doing with a lot of ministries right now, that he's

225
00:20:43,460 --> 00:20:48,980
saying there's a difference between a ministry and an end-time ministry that's walking in the

226
00:20:48,980 --> 00:20:55,620
urgency to occupy until the Lord comes. And that's where that prophetic ear came from, I believe,

227
00:20:55,620 --> 00:21:00,100
to be able to hear those words, walk in those things. And I think the body of Christ needs to

228
00:21:00,100 --> 00:21:04,180
learn from that example. But there have been lots of accusations that have been hurled. I think we've

229
00:21:04,180 --> 00:21:08,660
seen this fulfilled in our lifetime. And if that's the case, we're going to see the latter end of

230
00:21:08,660 --> 00:21:14,340
that prophecy fulfilled, where he's going to raise up some kings, set down some kings, and the prayers

231
00:21:14,340 --> 00:21:19,060
of the righteous have been heard, and we're going to see the manifestation of them in the coming days.

232
00:21:19,060 --> 00:21:23,780
You know, interesting that you put it that way, because you've written a book about prayer,

233
00:21:23,780 --> 00:21:30,980
and about end times. It's called Arm for Victory Prayer Strategies that Unlock the End Times.

234
00:21:31,620 --> 00:21:36,660
And I'm reading that book right now. It's excellent. I'd encourage people to buy it.

235
00:21:37,700 --> 00:21:40,260
I guess, what do they say, wherever books are sold?

236
00:21:40,260 --> 00:21:41,700
Wherever fine books are sold.

237
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:49,620
That's right. Usually easiest online. But as we wrap up this short podcast, I want to give you

238
00:21:49,620 --> 00:21:55,300
the last word and have you tell my listeners and viewers how they can connect with you,

239
00:21:55,300 --> 00:22:02,820
your ministry, and counter today. I know you have a conference. In fact, you and I did a podcast on

240
00:22:02,820 --> 00:22:14,580
it just a week or so ago. And also, just maybe make some conclusions. We've bounced all over,

241
00:22:14,580 --> 00:22:23,940
kind of like a ping pong ball, because these issues are complex. There's many different sides

242
00:22:23,940 --> 00:22:29,620
to it. It's hard to understand sometimes. One thing leads to another. I think it's important

243
00:22:29,620 --> 00:22:36,820
to discuss the issues as we have just now. But I'd like to leave the viewer and listener with

244
00:22:36,820 --> 00:22:41,220
an understanding of what they just heard and what next steps are.

245
00:22:41,220 --> 00:22:46,100
I believe this will be our finest hour. We're going to see a civil war within the church,

246
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:49,620
and I'm speaking spiritually, that there's going to be a divide within the church, the House of

247
00:22:49,620 --> 00:22:57,220
David separating from the House of Saul. And we're going to see those Davidic anointings rising in

248
00:22:57,220 --> 00:23:01,620
this season where men and women of God that you've never heard of before are going to all of a sudden

249
00:23:01,620 --> 00:23:06,580
take the scene and take the place of a lot of the corrupt... I believe everything we see in politics

250
00:23:06,580 --> 00:23:09,860
and in our nation is just an extension of what's already happening in the South.

251
00:23:09,860 --> 00:23:14,420
It's an extension of what's already happening in the Spirit. And so what we see happening in

252
00:23:14,420 --> 00:23:21,300
politics, know that there's corruption in the church as well. And there's a lot of accusation

253
00:23:21,300 --> 00:23:26,340
in the church, a lot of false accusation, and we're going to see all of that exposed. We're going to

254
00:23:26,340 --> 00:23:31,540
see the cream rise to the top. Some are going to be removed. Some are going to be put in place.

255
00:23:31,540 --> 00:23:36,180
But this is going to be the church's finest hour. You're going to see the rise of the local church

256
00:23:36,180 --> 00:23:40,900
in the coming days. You're going to see them taking positions to actually turn their cities around.

257
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:46,420
I truly believe that. And that's going to be what cascades into a mighty awakening for this nation.

258
00:23:46,420 --> 00:23:50,980
That'll be what revives the nation. Not a mega ministry somewhere. I'll do respect for those who

259
00:23:50,980 --> 00:23:55,620
have those, and I believe God will use them. It'll be the individual local churches that God

260
00:23:55,620 --> 00:23:59,620
raises up. Some of them have 50 people in them, but they'll be the ones standing outside an abortion

261
00:23:59,620 --> 00:24:06,740
clinic and getting it shut down. The state of Kentucky has on record recently zero abortions,

262
00:24:07,620 --> 00:24:13,620
zero abortions on record in the state of Kentucky. That's a revival that has saved thousands of

263
00:24:13,620 --> 00:24:17,780
lives. I think we're going to see similar things happening through the local church, through the

264
00:24:17,780 --> 00:24:22,660
average believer. Everyone has a voice, and God needs you to raise it right now. So I think that's

265
00:24:22,660 --> 00:24:27,380
where we are right now. It's an exciting time to be alive, and greater is he that is in us than he

266
00:24:27,380 --> 00:24:32,660
that's in the world. I hope you enjoyed my conversation with Alan DiDio. I hope you'll

267
00:24:32,660 --> 00:24:40,580
share it with friends, people who maybe need some answers, and this podcast will provide them.

268
00:24:40,580 --> 00:24:47,220
Of course, I want to encourage you to subscribe to my channel. Hit the little bell so that you're

269
00:24:47,220 --> 00:24:52,180

270
00:24:52,180 --> 00:24:58,260
podcasts coming up, and I want to remind you that this is my latest book, Spirit-Led Living in an

271
00:24:58,260 --> 00:25:02,260
Upside Down World. If you haven't read it, I believe it would be a great blessing to you.

272
00:25:02,260 --> 00:25:10,100
It's available on Amazon.com and also my own website, which is called MyCharismaShop.com.

273
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:22,100
So until next time, God bless you.
