Waching daily Jan 2 2019

okay so it's Sunday afternoon here at the farm and I slept in this morning so

I missed the chance to come out here and do some yard work which needs to be done

I really needed to cut the grass and trim some hedges today but it's too late

the sun's too high so it's just too hot out to be to be working under the hot

Sun so I'm just gonna sit here and drink beer and make a video now I've had a

couple people contact me about doing a video about crime here in Paraguay so

that's what this video is gonna be about now keep in mind I'm not going to quote

statistics here I'm gonna give you the point of view of a foreigner living here

in Paraguay if you want statistics you could probably check the CIA world

factbook or maybe Wikipedia you know you google

it you can probably find some good hard statistics about crime here in Paraguay

now I should say that I've lived almost half my life a good part of my adult

life abroad I'm originally from the States and I spent a lot of time in in

Eastern Europe and in other places and I gotta say that as a foreigner living

here from the point of view of crime I've lived in rougher places in here

crime here really I've been here almost eight years now the only crime I've

experienced firsthand none except for a guy who tried to cheat me in a in a

business deal and I took him to court and eventually ended up winning the case

so a fraud a fraud crime but as far as violent crime No that being said the

most popular crime here the most common crime here is far and away armed robbery

every night on the local news you will see you know as part of the

part of the show at least one or two armed robberies caught on video because

most people here now most businesses have security cameras and the most

common type of armed robbery is an armed robbery where you've got basically two

guys on on a motorcycle ones driver the other is the you know the active

criminal who's armed and so what they will do is they will ride around on

their motorcycle and they'll pick out a pedestrian usually a woman but it could

be a man or a young kid not a little kid but I mean like a college student or

something like this and the motorcycle will stop the one guy with the gun or

the knife will jump off and he will grab the backpack or the cell phone or you

know the purse or the wallet or whatever of the other person and hop back on the

motorcycle and they take off that is the most common crime here in Paraguay and

it's a phenomenon called motochorros that's what they call them

motor bandits or whatever because theyre on the back of a motorcycle this is

although it's a scourge on the general population the really the only people

that are affected by that are people that are walking you don't see these

guys attacking you know people that are in cars or people there on other

motorcycles or something like this it's specifically targeted at pedestrians no

that's the most common crime aside from that there is the other type of armed

robbery which is like what you would see back in the states for example a couple

of guys knock over a liquor store they will rob ya and you see this on the news

every night - maybe maybe not every night but it's very common and what will

happen is it's the same thing a hit and run you'll see two or three guys will

run into it's usually I have to say this type of crime is usually pretty cowardly

they will they will scope out and find a weak

point so it might be a liquor store it might be a gas station it might be a

pharmacy it's usually the place that's open 24 hours a day and doesn't have

good security maybe they've got a security guard who's you know an old guy

or this fat semi old guy somebody they can overpower really quickly who's not

who's not providing good security and so what will happen is you know two three

four guys will participate in this kind of robbery you'll have a wheelman who

has you know the car running and then two or three other guys will jump out

and they'll be armed and they will hit the pharmacy hit hit the gas station

whatever it is and quickly you go inside take control because it'll be like

midnight or 2:00 in the morning or 5:00 in the morning and there'll be nobody in

there and they'll basically just you know rip off the register and and

hightail it out of there unfortunately sometimes these guys will be

trigger-happy and you know the guard will end up getting shot that's happened

a couple times that's the other major crime here so other types of crimes you

will see for example domestic violence will be on on TV typical crimes you find

everywhere domestic violence you'll see murder but usually types of murders that

that happen here the least the ones that make the news is generally some type of

family issue or a neighborhood issue people that have a vendetta you know

it's it's not generally a random crime that's that's not what you're looking at

like I say the country as a whole is generally pretty quiet people are pretty

passive and and they're not looking for for trouble as I say even the criminals

themselves the type of crime that they're pulling off and that's not you

know the type of brazen crime you would see in the States

you know where they'll knock off a liquor store it at 6:00 p.m. you know

they'll they'll go in there and or even one guy on his own and you know maybe

shoot a couple people and hightail it out of there here it's not that way it's

it's it's definitely crime but a less of a tendency towards violence and more of

a tendency towards like I say cowardly crime I mean I I don't know maybe that's

not the right word for it but but anyway aside from that there are major crimes

that happen but those type of crimes and when I say major crimes I'm talking

about heist of an armored truck bank robbery those type of crimes but those

aren't committed by Paraguayans there are there are two - I don't know what

you want to call them crime groups that operate here out of there they operate

here out of Brazil so it's you know people that come in they cross the

border and they do their their crimes here and one of them is called PCC

premiere commando of something I don't know but it's a Brazilian group and the

other one is commando form a hole or something like this I don't know it's

Portuguese but but those are the ones that come in here and they're heavily

armed I mean these people have I don't know what it's like in Brazil but

apparently you can readily get access to like heavy machine guns and explosives

and hand grenades and all kinds of stuff like this that you generally can't get

ahold of in most countries on the face of this planet let's just a war going on

so I don't know what what it's like in Brazil if somebody's here watching

watching this video that's from Brazil I don't know how these guys come here and

they're so heavily armed but anyway they will attack armored cars and you know

have rocket launchers and all kinds of but those guys aren't attacking average

people like I said they're going for big money hits and so they'll knock over a

bank they'll rob armored cars and they will kill people indiscriminately no

problem so that's what they do and they've also kidnapped high-profile

Paraguayan businesspeople stuff like this but that

type of crime happens along the Brazilian border so you're looking at

you know the places like Sudan aleste Pedro Juan Caballero the the cities that

border Brazil that type of stuff is happening in that area Alto piranha

that's not stuff that's happened in generally in Assam Ceylon or generally

at all basically and then what else can I say about crime here you know as for

the most part foreigners what what foreigners will be exposed to if they

come here of course if you're gonna do you know if you're gonna try and be a

backpacker you know let's go Europe and you're gonna put your backpack on and

walk everywhere you know you're gonna be exposed just like anybody else would

you know but it's not so so common it's not like you can't walk anywhere the

multiple Toros that do attack you know they attack people that are on back

streets that you know in the wee hours of the morning or or in broad daylight -

but they're looking for weak targets they're looking for a quick you know a

quick grab and run so they're not operating on major roads and stuff like

this it's in an in the back backwood neighborhoods and so as a foreigner

foreigners generally come here they've got cars so that eliminates that and you

know foreigners generally speaking you know if they've got if they've got a

business usually they are operating in in their own Enclave so like you know

within the German community let's say or the Koreans you know

we'll be operating downtown in the chinatown area or if they're not and

they're operating you know in whatever neighborhood you know they'll have

security there I don't have security cameras and they'll have somebody armed

there that prevents that type of stuff like I said the the armed robberies that

happened to businesses are in places where they don't have good security

they're not investing in security and so they're exploited by by the by the

criminals no specific cases of crime I had a case of I would say more common

among foreigners that the crime that foreigners have more exposure to is

fraud so for example I had to sue a guy the guy tried to rip me off I went into

business with him for Believe It or Not dairy products and I was selling milk

and he he tried to rip me off so I had to take him to court and believe it or

not the case played out over four years before I got the judgement in my favor

but and also he wasn't able to be to be tried criminally it was a civil case so

he beat the he beat the rap in the sense that it didn't hit the threshold of

criminality although it was in my book fraud is fraud but but anyway that's

what the most that foreigners were most exposed to you know you have to be very

careful here if you're coming here and you're trying to buy a piece of property

or a car or any type of large purchase that's what you got to watch out for

there's there's a lot of fraud so you might think you're buying a property

that is free and clear but the person you're dealing with isn't really the

legal owner there's fake paperwork falsified documents there's even there's

even people within the within the owned within their own what-do-you-call-it

communities immigrant communities that are ripoff artists that prey on their

fellow immigrants so you've got for example if this is something that

happens in the German community that I know firsthand

you get down into areas like independencia and things like this there

are people that have been living there for 15 20 years that make a sport out of

screwing new immigrants and and taking them for what they can and I mean even

to the point where you know the a new immigrant will come and they will they

will play them for what they can and eventually the you know the the

immigrant will give up on it he'll give up on Paraguay and go back to Germany

and now he's desperate to sell his house and you know the the same people that

were screwing all over will buy his house you know at a cheap rate because

it know he needs to get rid of it and they'll pay them you know maybe 60% of

what it's worth and turn around and sell it again to next victim what comes along

so you got to be real careful from that point of view there's there's plenty of

fraud to go around that's what foreigners mainly have to

have to fear you don't hear much about a violent crime or any type of robberies

or something involving foreigners they're they're generally out of the

fray because they are not at the same level let's just say as the locals

financially so they can take precautions that the locals can't I mean those

people that are walking are being victimized by moto Toros they're not

walking because they like to walk I mean they can't afford even a motorcycle

let's say so they're getting robbed and getting you know the equivalent of 20

bucks that they had in their pocket or in their pocketbook ripped off because

you know they're they're exposed to it anyway I see I've been rambling on here

it's like 15 minutes so anyway I'll wrap this up I hope this makes some sense to

people as some use and yeah feel free to comment if you have any comments or if

you have any other further questions and like I said if you happen to be from

Brazil you know I'd be interested to hear your

opinion on what I'm saying about the criminal gangs that come here how they

are so well armed I'm I don't know if there is active

corruption in the Brazilian military because I know the Brazilian military is

very well armed I don't know if there's just not good control on their weapons

or what but because the the the average Paraguayan criminal has got like a rusty

revolver you know what 22 or 38 you know that probably will blow up in his own

hand if he tried to fire it or a knife you know so I don't know how there's

such a difference but anyway enough for this video and I'll see you next time

JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK || Are You Ready ? MUST WATCH 2019 - Duration: 26:58.

Lord

Give us Your Word now

And speak clearly to our hearts

Lord, we need You

We need to hear from Heaven

And we're trusting in You now in Jesus' Name

Amen

Getting ready

For the end of all things

1 Peter 4, beginning in verse 7

But the end of all things is at hand

Now that's pretty blunt

He gets up before his people and in his letter he writes

The end is coming

And said "Be ye therefore sober and watch unto prayer

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves

For charity shall cover the multitude of sins"

Thank You Jesus

2 Peter 1:14

He has just announced 

"The Lord has shown me that"

"I'm going to die"

"The Lord has shown me that my time has come"

And so he comes to the people now

As a dying man

He comes as if to say 

I'm soon going to be with my heavenly Father

I'm soon going to be with Christ

So I'm going to give you my final word

He said "I want you to know the end of all things is at hand"

It's right at hand

You say, well that was written 2000 years or so ago

But folks if it was true then

It's all the more true now

That the end of the very last of the last days

And he said

I'm gonna tell you what God expects 

And what He wants of you

I'm gonna tell you how to become secure

I'm gonna tell you how to prepare

For the end times

And he says nothing about the economy

He says nothing about the loss of houses and lands

He says nothing about where to put your money

Nothing about safe havens

Do you see why Peter goes with this message?

He says first of all be sober

In other words, don't panic 

That's his first advice

No matter what happens

And there's many Christians right now who are in panic

Who have believed and testified all their lifetime

That the Lord was their Keeper

We sing Yahweh Yireh

We sing all these wonderful songs about 

How good God is and now He's gonna keep us in the hard times

And there is a human nature in us that 

Responds and we have to bring it under the Word

We have to bring it under the control of faith

But he's saying "Be sober first of all"

And then second he says "Go to prayer"

He said, you wonder why you're confused

You wonder why you're in turmoil

You wonder why you're in panic

And you're not sober in these times

And he's saying, the worse it gets, the blacker the night

The more you should be walking in soberness 

And in the peace and in the rest of the Holy Ghost

That's what he says, as hard as that sounds

"That's what I'm telling you God told me before He takes me Home"

"I'm telling the Church of Jesus Christ"

"In my day and in the days to come"

"There are gonna be hard and difficult times"

And Peter describes those times 

Mockers and scoffers are going to come

There are gonna be those preaching deception in our churches

There are going to be preachers of covetousness 

And materialism

He goes on to describe all of those things that are coming

And he says "don't panic!"

"Be at peace about it"

And then he says "go to prayer"

And folks that is where I go everytime

Fear tries to rise in my spirit

Everytime there's another news report that seems

To just be overwhelming 

I go to the Lord, I go to my knees 

And that's the answer to all of the stress problems

I just saw in the Wall Street journal yesterday 

That all of the Wall Street now

They have a whole hour 

And many of the corporate leaders are into yoga

And into Chinese mantras

And they are trying to calm their stress

And in some offices now it's mandatory

That you go and take yoga so that you can calm yourself

But folks, we have a Saviour 

We have a promise

And we are going to be a testimony that we know how to handle stress

We've got a little room we go into

It's called the secret closet

Tell that to the world

Here's the world looking at crystals hoping

Beams will come out of these crystals

And there are people doing yoga and quoting

Chinese mantras that they don't know what means

Then you tell them you have a secret closet 

Where you go and you come out strong

And they are going to say

You're crazy!

Stupid!

What do you mean as secret closet?

What do you know about yoga?

I've got Somebody that takes all my stress away

King of kings

I meet Him, right in that room

You mean you meet God?

Yes

We meet God in the secret closet of prayer

And above all things

Above all things, above all preparations

Above everything you think about how to survive

In the end times

He said I'm gonna give you a word, this is the issue

And you have to deal with this

And this is mind boggling at first

He says, above all things

Have fervent, on fire, mercy and love

For your brothers and sisters

What he's saying is, if you want to really know what survival is about

If you know where God is taking His people

You have to have this unconditional love for your brothers and sisters

Where race has no barrier

Knowing that this church has over 100 nationalities

Of all colors and all nations

And I want you to know this church is under attack for that very reason

Many times, we wouldn't be under attack if we were just

All white or all black or all Hispanic

There are churches like that, thank God for them

But this is a special thing that God is doing here in New York City and has done

A hundred or more nationalities loving one another

Without racial prejudice

The reason for this is because this kind of love

Covers a multitude of sins

What you're saying what God is about to do cannot happen

It will be hindered, unless these things are dealt with in the Body of Jesus Christ

Anything of prejudice, any member of the Body of Christ

Now we can't forgive those who sin against God

We can't forgive those sins

We can't cover those sins

But He said "I can't move"

The Holy Spirit is going to come in a great rain upon this earth

It can't happen in a church, it can't happen among a people

Where there are those who are holding grudges 

When there are those who say they love one another

But they can come and they can worship

They say I'm a part of the Body of Jesus Christ

And yet they come week after week and they have not forgiven

They have not forgiven somebody who hurt or wounded them

They have not hurt, they have not resolved this issue

It just stays there day after day and week after week

And in the Bible says we are not only to forgive but we are to cover

The sins of those who sinned against us

And there are those sitting in this church now

And I say it with love and compassion

I'm telling you this will hinder what God is going to do in the church

It's gonna hinder what He wants to do in your life and in your home

This has to be dealt with, is there anyone that

You have a difficult time forgiving

You say "well I've forgiven but I can't forget" 

Well then you haven't forgiven

The Bible says that this love that God expects of us 

Is so vast, is so all en-compassing

He said "you not only forgive but you do everything you can to cover their sin"

Don't broadcast

And this is what happens

Somebody raises us, someone wounds us, someone rejects us

And we tell it everywhere, we get on the phone

I just have to get this off of my heart

You'll never know what they did to me

And we name names and we name places

And we go down deep into this pit 

And then we say I'm only telling you this so you can pray with me

I'm only telling you this because I'm concerned about them!

And they may lose the touch of God!

For what they did to me

You should be more concerned about whether you lose the touch of God

Because you didn't cover the sin

Peter is talking about, he is seeing something coming 

And he wants the Church to be ready

If all you want is for God to give you food and shelter

Now as a father I want that for my children and grandchildren

And I want Him to provide all my physical needs

He has promised to do that

You see, Peter didn't go there

He didn't go there by advice or on physical preparations

He didn't go there because, you see, he knew poverty 

He knew what is like to not have a cent, a shekel 

In his pocket because the only money he had at times

Came out of a fish's mouth

This man had one change of clothes

He had one pair of sandals

This man had proven God's faithfulness so 

That wasn't an issue with him

That he can't even imagine Christians not believing

That the Lord will provide

I've been down that way

He said "this is the preparation I want you to talk about"

"I want you to focus on"

"There is an issue here"

I want you to look into your heart

You're gonna love even your enemies as Scripture says

Jesus didn't give advice on how to prepare physically

Other than, in Jerusalem when you see the armies coming

Flee from Jerusalem

You don't find Him that way

He says "don't give any thought about tomorrow"

"Because is going to take care of itself"

"I'm gonna take care of you"

Don't worry about what you're gonna eat, what you're gonna drink or how you're gonna be clothed

Don't give it any thought

You won't find Jesus going there

You won't find Peter going there

The apostle Paul doesn't go there

They had proven God

You have proven God already

You have proven God faithful up to this hour

He has never failed you yet

He has brought you out of every situation 

He's taking care of you financially

You are not in poverty, you have a roof over your head

Your food on your table

And He's gonna see you through

He said there is a great rain coming

You find that all through the New Testament

You find it in the Prophets especially 

There is a prophecy in the Old Testament

That there's been a former rain and there is a latter rain

The Bible talks about two rains

And Moses told Israel

He said that there can be no harvest unless there is a latter rain

The first rain, the early rain came in the spring

Before the harvest, before the full grain of corn 

There has to be another rain

It's called the latter rain

Moses said there's an early rain but there can be no harvest

Until there is a latter rain

Here's the Scripture

He will give you the rain in your land in due season

The first and the latter rain

So you may gather in the corn, the wine and the oil

He said you're gonna have a rain

That ripens the harvest

Beloved

The early rain came at the Pentecost in the upper room

That was the rain that watered the seed of the Word

That watered the message of Jesus Christ

And it began to grow and spread

But now folks, in the last days when the world is trembling and gross darkness

Covers the world

There is no way Jesus would come without...

Now He can come at any moment

But He promises there will be a latter rain

And He says "ask rain" in the time of the latter rain

We are to ask rain the prophet said

You to believe God and ask Him

And believe that this latter rain

Is promised in the Scripture and that is to come

The prophet Zachariah saw the outpouring of the Spirit

In the last days

He said "ask ye the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain

And the Lord shall make bright clouds

And He will give you showers of rain

And everyone shall have grass in their field"

Everyone shall have grass, there's going to be a harvest

He said the field is gonna be ripe

Jesus said they're white unto harvest

Now satan knows this

He knows what it is written in the Scripture

He knows that there's a tremendous, incredible outpouring of the Holy Spirit 

Before the harvest

And he is going to come against the Church of Jesus Christ 

Knowing what is coming

He saw what happened in the early rain

He saw the growth of the Church around the world

Every kindred, every tongue and every nation

He saw the power of the Holy Spirit, he saw what happens when the Holy Spirit comes down

Satan knows what is about to happen

Folks, there is no way that the Lord is going to take His Church out of this world

Limping

And broken

And fearful

Broken in spirit, in mind and soul

No, no, no

He's not coming and allow Islam to take over the harvest

He's not going to let anybody, the harvest is His!

The harvest as the Bible says is the end of the world

And we've come to the end of things

We've come at the beginning of the end

I know from what I'm reading in the Scriptures

And the more I read the more my faith rises

There is a coming outpouring of the Holy Spirit

Beyond Pentecost, beyond what happened in the upper room

But you see, Peter knew what had to happen

In the early day Pentecost they had what they called "Waiting on the Lord"

In the upper room they waited on the Lord

They weren't waiting just for a calendar day

The Pentecost has fully come

But God was doing something, He's doing just what Peter is talking about

There had to be forgiveness, Peter had to be forgiven

Because he wounded the Body of Christ

He wounded everyone of them

And there had to be enough flow of love in that upper room

And God's dealing with things

Peter could not stand up there and be anointed of the Holy Ghost

He can't stand there if people, later some of the apostles 

And there's James and John

Who boasted that they were better than the other disciples and had this pride

And they have to be cleansed

They have to be forgiven by the Body of Jesus Christ

And their sins have to be covered

They have to be able to look at Peter later when the Holy Spirit gives him the authority 

And he preaches what the Pentecost is all about

And there can't be something in their heart

"Who made you the leader?"

"Who made you the pastor?"

"Who made you...?" "Who gave you this special anointing?"

No they sat back, they didn't care who got to honor

They knew the Holy Ghost was there 

And they were covering, nobody dare to speak against Peter

Because Peter was safe now in the House of God

He's among people who don't blab what Peter did

Nobody is talking about this in the upper room

They are talking about the Holy Ghost

And they are getting free because they are loving, they are forgiving and they are covering

Do you understand where Peter is going?

He said there is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit

And He comes only to those who are prepared

They were prepared in the upper room

Oh folks, I still believe on waiting on the Lord

Yes the Holy Ghost was given

But there is something about waiting in the presence of the Lord

Where He is allowed to deal with these issues in our hearts

And so we can have this forgiveness

And we can have the strength and power

It takes power to forgive

It takes even more power and grace

To cover somebody's sin after they've wounded

Or rejected or hurt you

God wants to pour out His Spirit in this church

As we have never known or seen

He wants to save multitudes

And He's gonna do that

But first He's coming

To purge His Body

He's coming to cleanse

And He's not doing it with a rod or a whip in His hand

He's doing it through brokeness

And a humble word, a compassionate call 

Don't let anything hinder

The Glory of the Lord that's coming

Don't let anything hinder the moving of the Holy Spirit in your family

Don't let anything!

Don't be a hindrance to the work of God and what He wants to do

To be able to walk through these doors and sit here and raise your hands

And worship Him. And you know there's nothing there

Between you and the Lord. There's no hindrace

That your heart is open

And if you've been sitting, if you felt God

You come to the Blood of Jesus Christ

Folks, the Blood has never lost its power

And I have to believe that He will give us through the power of His Blood

The cross is not in vain!

It has not been in vain

If there's no pouring of the Holy Spirit in these last days

Why was there an early Pentecost?

Why was there an early rain?

Look at all of these many years

Since the first outpouring

The early rain

Do you mean to tell me that the Lord when we need the Holy Ghost the most

When we need the Holy Ghost to survive daily

When we need the power of the Holy Ghost to be His witness

When everything is shaking and the darkness is here 

We have got to have an anchor

The Holy Spirit comes to reveal Christ

He comes to dig deep into our spirits

To make us vessels 

Made worthy through the righteousness of Jesus Christ

Hallelujah

And what Zacharias said is

Wake up Church

The Holy Spirit

And the Glory

Is gonna fall upon nations

So many people feel helpless

But folks, this can't be worked up

This is a prophetic word and you have to allow

And ask the Holy Spirit

To increase your faith

To believe and stand on His Word

Haggai stands before a discouraged people

They are remembering the glory of the old Temple

The old tabernacle is gone

And now God is doing a new work

They are building a Temple now that seems so insignificant

To what God did in the past

And they are standing there weeping and the prophet Haggai

He says "I see you looking at what God is doing here now"

He said "some of you lived then"

"Who is 60 to 70 years apart"

"And some of you are still living "

"And when they were young the saw the glory of that first work of God"

"What a great work God did back then"

You hear that a lot about the revivals of the past what God did back then

And all the glory we had and all the wonderful meetings we had

And people got saved and we tarried half the night

And that's wonderful, thank God

I have those wonderful memories hidden in my heart

The prophet looked at these people downcast

And he says

"Who's left among you that

Saw the house in its first glory?"

"And how do you see it now?"

"Is it not in your eyes in comparison as if it's nothing?"

Do you understand what this is saying?

Some of us who walk with God for years

We remember the movings of the Holy Spirit

We remember the great things God did

But the prophet Haggai says 

Look at that, you're discouraged

And you think that this is nothing

And that we are just waiting and zeal 

That there's no glory left and we've been overwhelmed

Overwhelmed with the darkness

We've been so overwhelmed with what is happening

We get overwhelmed at the fury of the devil

We get overwhelmed of the homosexual militancy 

And our courts making laws that we don't agree with 

We never asked for, we never voted for

And we get overwhelmed with the fury of satan among us

We get overwhelmed with the darkness

Overwhelmed with the thought we've sinned away our day of grace

Overwhelmed with fears and doubts

And that's what happened

They say, in their minds are saying "this is nothing"

We've nothing to rejoice about

God's not doing anything!

This is so insignificant!

Oh Haggai

He says "fear not!"

And God said this in Haggai 2:5

My Spirit remains among you!

My Spirit is still at work

And he turns to the people and says

I'm telling you

The glory of this house

Is gonna be greater than the first house

The rain that's coming is greater than the early rain

There's a latter rain

So, take away that frown 

Lift up holy hands

Because the rain is coming

And God's Spirit is moving

And I'm not going to let the devil let me be downcast

I don't want my eyes on what God is doing and say it's so insignificant

America has not sinned away its day of grace

The world has not sinned away its day of grace

The revival has just begun

The rain is beginning to fall

Hallelujah

And the Scripture says in Revelation 14:15

"Thrust in the sickle and begin to reap for the harvest of the earth is ripe"

And then I went on and I read this

In Revelation 14:14

The verse prior to what I've just read to you

And I got so excited, I went into the bedroom when I was retiring 

I've been in my study last night

And I said, when I am shouting inside

And I walked back and forth in our apartment down the street

Behold He comes in the clouds

A crown on His head and a sickle in His hand

What's a sickle? That long harvest thing got a big and sharp blade on it

Where you just mold down the harvest

And the Bible says of our Christ

Hallelujah

He's not there just hoping the saints, so hold on

He's not there surprised at the darkness

Behold, He comes in a white cloud

Say with me, a crown on His head

And a sickle in His hand

That makes me wanna jump

A crown on His head!

And a sickle in His hand!

Folks, it's harvest time!

On the Wall Street

In the Bowery uptown, downtown New Jersey

And all over this nation and around the world

Glory to God!

It's harvest time

It's beginning to rain

Hallelujah

Do you believe this?

Do you see what Peter is saying now folks?

Remove everything that hinders because

The glory is coming

Like you've never seen or no experienced, the glory of the Lord

And you know what that glory is?

The manifest presence of Jesus Christ

We will know His presence as we've never known it

We will know Him as we have never known Him

And people are going to be open to the Gospel

He's going to melt hard hearts

And many others He's going to bring through calamity

Where they have no place to turn

But to God

We will be ready

With a message of hope, and not despair
