29:30 – 30:00 – Secure yourselves Now, for Turbulence, says the Lord. You may feel it and see it. However, you will be protected, as the United States, parts of Europe in the far East, enter a very pressure-filled and serious pocket, meant to bring about a change, I the Lord desire.
NotebookLM AI Summary:
The video transcript provided summarizes several crucial topics addressed on the eve of Passover, including a lengthy prophetic message and a detailed discussion about a recent controversy dividing the Church.
I. Announcements and the Significance of Passover
The speaker begins by welcoming viewers from around the world (including Canada, Australia, Trinidad and Tobago, and New Zealand). The broadcast is occurring on the eve of Passover (Pak), which begins at sundown, and is described as one of the most crucial Passovers that will probably ever be celebrated.
Key announcements include:
- The Prophetic Word: A “fiery word” that is six and a half pages long was received from the Lord starting April 16, 2024, and completed today. The speaker emphasizes that the Lord is not “mincing words”.
- Passover Seder: The ministry will host a live Passover Seder tomorrow night at 5:00 pm Eastern Standard time, using the hagada that was used last year.
- Sanctuary Gala: Tonight is noted as the absolute last night to sign up for the Sanctuary Gala on May 3rd, which will feature a meet and greet with Missy Cyrus, Noah, and Molly.
- Animal Updates: Updates are provided on animals at the sanctuary, including Reese’s (recovering from surgery to remove a tumor and being spayed), Charlotte (improving after coming from Amish Country), Grace (a sassy painted horse), Noble (getting a new house this week), and the minis Gideon, Blossom, and Snow.
II. The Prophetic Word from the Lord
The message, delivered as a “word from the Lord,” addresses nations, leaders, and the Church.
Global and National Judgments
- Pride and Rebellion: The Lord warns that “Pride cometh Before Destruction and a haughty spirit before a big fall”. Leaders seeking to ascend as high as the heavens and destroy nations calling on the Lord will face judgment.
- Iran and Russia: The “Prince of Persia” spirit has risen up. The leadership in Iran is bringing the nation under a curse, and woe is pronounced upon them and their meeting with Russia. The Lord warns Russia against trifling too closely with His land and business. The underground Church in Iran is promised protection and redemption and will grow rapidly.
- Israel: Israel is called to humility, to call on the name of Yeshua (Jesus), and to seek instruction. They must not fight out of emotion but according to the word.
- The UN and WHO: The UN is called a “puffed up rooster” and “blood Hunters” who make deals with devils. A scandal will spread through the UN. The WHO is expected to return with the UN, looking for an avenue to attach “threads to another nation”. God warns the UN, China, Russia, and Turkey against enabling the spirit of Amalec or interfering where His hand is present.
- Earth Changes: The heavens and the earth are crying out for justice. A massive shift is coming to the oceans, causing them to give up hidden treasures and species. An eruption and an earthquake will occur simultaneously in close proximity.
Warnings to the United States
- The Eagle’s Beak: The United States (the Eagle) must have its beak broken upon the Rock (Jesus Christ) in order to survive, as the old is “dry and brittle”. This breaking will occur in tandem with an undeniable event along the East Coast, West Coast, and Texas. The one who recognizes and speaks this truth is Anointed to lead the nation.
- Washington D.C.: The Lord’s protection has “completely departed” from the White House and Washington D.C., allowing necessary events to take place. A tornado will transpire in D.C. in an unusual way.
- Congress and Leaders: The Lord is “turning the tables over on Congress,” the money changers, and those who have made idolatrous deals. Boastful Congresswomen who crave the spotlight and engage in “salacious exploits” are warned that their seats will be replaced.
- Sifting: The nation is entering a “very pressure-filled and serious pocket”. Leadership figures (Trumps, Kennedys, Bidens, Obamas) all fall short, but some will be redeemed, and the rest will fall. The Obamas will “lose an O”.
Cleansing of the Church
The Church is called to cry out for a “just cleansing”. Serpents of Tolerance, perversions, and the desire to be “woke” have caused The Great Divide. The Church has been lured into cinematic exploits, falsely believing it must look like the world to reach the world.
- Order and Equipment: The church is meant for the sick to come and get well; it is not meant to entertain men like a circus. Sheep need to be equipped, not spoon-fed or fed “junk food” (junk reports, junk news).
- Changing of the Guard: The Lord has spoken forth a Changing of the Guard to occur, replacing leaders who act like “rock stars” with those who are worthy.
- Rabbis: Rabbis shall also have an awakening and are being sifted, with platforms of liberal, unholy rabbis set to fall.
III. The Sword Controversy (“Swordgate 2024”)
Following the prophetic word, the speaker addresses the controversy dividing the church involving Mark Driscoll and Pastor John Lindell, stemming from the Stronger Men’s Conference at James River Church.
The Incident and Conflict
The controversy centers on an act performed by a gentleman at the conference who was a sword swallower and pole climber, and who previously worked as a stripper.
- Mark Driscoll’s Rebuke: Driscoll publicly rebuked the act, calling the pole an “ashro” (a high place used in a strip club) and stating that the “Jezebel spirit” opened the event.
- John Lindell’s Response: Lindell rebuked Driscoll, arguing he was “out of line” for not following Matthew 18 (addressing the issue privately first). Lindell later aired private text messages Driscoll had sent to Lindell’s son, David, before the church and on social media. Lindell’s sons are noted as grown men, and the speaker questions why their father defended them publicly at the pulpit.
- Aftermath: Driscoll was unwilling to repent despite repeated requests, and his followers reportedly sent death threats and horrible abuse to the James River Church receptionists.
Analysis of Biblical Manhood and Entertainment
The speaker labels the entire incident “narcissism on Parade” and “yucky”. She argues that the core issue is the epidemic loss of biblical manhood in the Church.
- Catering to the Flesh: Bringing in circus acts, sword swallowing, and ripping off shirts is catering to the flesh and is “borderline demonic”. The church, in an effort to be “cool” and reach the world, became too much like the world, enabling seducing spirits.
- The Church’s Purpose: The church is not meant to entertain men like children but should focus on equipping men, restoring them to biblical manhood, helping them with sound judgment, and providing resources like counselors.
- Hypocrisy: Regarding the private texts being aired publicly, the speaker notes that if Driscoll was rebuked for not coming privately first, then Lindell should not have taken private text messages and aired them out publicly, especially since they now exist in perpetuity on social media.
- Call to Action: The speaker implores the Assembly of God leadership (the denomination where the event occurred) to carefully consider their response. She issues a call for “strong Godly men” and the restoration of biblical manhood in the church and pulpits.
The underlying dynamic of the controversy, according to the speaker, is akin to the challenge between Joshua and Caleb versus the discouraging spies: true shepherds standing up as the minority against those who want to appease crowds and partake in the bondages of the world through entertainment.
