And then next Wednesday night, we'll be back with you with the fourth installment of the stalking horses of the apocalypse, the pale horse. But tonight, I wanna share with you just for a few moments here this evening about what I see as some signs that are happening in our world concerning the end of times and specifically things that are leading up to the seven years of tribulation. We understand that our world is at a very volatile place right now. We understand that there's war that is happening and rumors of wars that are happening. And for those of you that are just joining us every Wednesday night for several weeks now, we've been in what's called the forecast on Wednesday night sharing Bible prophecy and bringing to you some of the updated information. And as the word of God describes it, what's taking place in our world that is pointing toward the imminent return of Jesus Christ. Now that's so important that you understand that because many people have no idea that Jesus Christ is going to return. And I know that may be shocking to some, especially to those of you that have been in church for a while and maybe have heard it over and over again. But there are still so many people who do not know that Jesus Christ died for their sins, rose again from the grave and is going to return first in the clouds in the rapture of the church and then seven years later, after the tribulation period, according to the scripture from Revelation 6 to Revelation 19, come back and put his foot on the Mount of Olives, go through the Eastern gate and sit down on the throne of his father, David, and that will begin what is called the Millennial reign. Now it's so important that we understand what's happening up ahead. That's the reason why that we call it the forecast. Now we're not using speculation, we're not using opinions and surmising. We're simply taking the information and the word of God and then seeing what's taking place in our world. And it's not hard to find today if you are seeing through spiritual glasses what's taking place in our world and from the word of God, how important that it is that you understand what is coming ahead. Now, certainly we may not know all of the details, but as I've been sharing with you over the past several weeks, some of the newspaper articles that are signaling and some that are so on target for what the Bible has to say, that it's hard to miss it. I mean, you almost, you almost, when you're reading the headlines today, you can see the banners and go straight to the scripture. In fact, as I was studying and of course preparing for tonight's lesson that I was going to teach to you on the pale horse, I was literally putting it together and listening to some news that was taking place and the commentator on this news broadcast just opened up and said, this is like the pale horse, fourth horseman of the apocalypse from the book of Revelation. And I literally stopped in my tracks as I was studying here in my office and my jaw dropped because out of his own mouth, the identifier of what a newscaster, not a Bible preacher, not a prophecy teacher, but a newscaster said concerning what he identifies as the fourth horseman of the apocalypse. We're gonna talk to you about that next Wednesday night, the Lord willing, so you make sure you're joining us. But I wanna give you a few signs that I see that are happening right now that are showing us that this tribulation period not only is true based upon the word of God, but that there are actual signs that are leading and showing us right now what will come. There's no sense for us to be ignorant or write it off and say, well, that's just speculation. Well, I can tell you that there's enough signs right now that you would have to run over them in order to just miss them or dismiss them for that matter. So one of the very first signs that tells us that we are approaching a time that is identified as the great tribulation. First of all, we understand that the rapture takes place. Those of you that are not familiar with the rapture, the rapture is a signless event. It can happen at any moment based upon the word of God. Right now, Jesus Christ could come in the clouds and he will come down in the clouds according to the book of Thessalonians. First Thessalonians chapter number four and let us, the bride of Christ or those that are members of the church, the body of Christ will rise to meet him in the air. We will have a brand new body in that transformation that will be like Jesus Christ and then we will ascend to heaven as the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the bride of Christ, the body of Christ. And we will spend seven years there in heaven for a period of what is called the Bema Seat of Christ where the rewards are handed out for the deeds done in the body and the things that people have done that may not have measured up will be thrown into the fire and the only thing that comes out will be according to the scripture, the things that will be rewarded. There's five different crowns as a matter of fact and that's not tonight's study but there's five different crowns that are handed out at the Bema Seat of Christ for those that are soul winners, et cetera. And then there will be a period of seven years that the church, the bride of Christ will be gathered in heaven and at the conclusion, as I understand the word of God, will be the marriage supper of the Lamb. Now that only happens and you can see this written in the book of Hebrews chapter 11 when the bride of Christ is gathered there. Now the church will have been raptured, snatched off of this earth and the body of Christ will then, the bride of Christ will then begin to assemble itself for the time of coronation, for the time of that wedding feast that will take place. When the church is raptured, that doesn't mean that all have arrived because there will be two witnesses that will arise off of the earth that will join us in heaven. There will be 144,000 Jewish evangelists preaching the everlasting gospel, the Bible says here on the earth and those that are beheaded for the faith and martyrs and so forth. That's the reason why these seven years of tribulation, there will be what I call little raptures that will take place off of the earth as people will die, be martyred, et cetera, different things that will take place and they will ascend to heaven. At the end of that will come the marriage supper of the Lamb. On earth, that's what I wanna talk to you about tonight is the signs that are leading us toward the tribulation period. And while we are enjoying heaven in heaven with Jesus Christ and the bride of Christ and the reuniting of our loved ones, I should say, that have gone on to heaven for a period of seven years, on earth will be hell on earth. It's described in the word of God from Revelation chapter six all the way through to Revelation 19. The opening of that comes with what we've been teaching you concerning the four horsemen of the apocalypse. These are seven seals that are opened up and the first four identify what you've heard as the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Now, again, we'll take up the pale horse next Wednesday night. But when the opening of the tribulation takes place and the seals are broken by the Lamb of God himself, the only one worthy according to Revelation five to open the seal, there will be things that will take place on this earth that will be unprecedented. Jesus said himself that the time of tribulation will be like none other ever before and will never be like that again. So it will be an unprecedented time of destruction and what the Bible calls the judgment of God that will come upon this earth, the wrath of God that will come upon this earth. So if we are seeing things take place right now that will be taking place in the tribulation period and will be magnified and intensified and enlarged for that matter and we're seeing them right now, how much worse will it be? Well, here's some signs that I believe are kind of hanging over our head that are gonna let us know about the fact that this tribulation period is certainly on the way. And again, before that happens, the rapture of the church takes place and the escape for the church will have taken place because God is not appointed as the wrath, the Bible says. So the very first of these signs that we're seeing right now and we'll see in the tribulation and the first one is famine. Now, we'll talk to you more about that next week when we talk about the pale horse rider, the fourth horseman of the apocalypse, but just to touch on it, Revelation chapter six, verse number eight, deals with this pale horse rider and that famine and death comes with this pale horse rider. Now, what we're seeing right now in the Ukraine, what we're seeing in the Sudan, what we're seeing in Yemen, I just saw an article a few moments ago that because of what is on the horizon with food shortages that are certainly going to come, the supply chain issues that have broken down, just being able to get food. Now, for instance, and I told you this last Wednesday night that because the Ukraine is identified as the bread basket of Europe, and that not only includes Europe, but it includes Turkey, portions of Africa, the Middle East, other locations that purchase a quarter or more of their wheat and grain and so forth to feed the people there, it's gonna be broken down. This is planting season for them and there is not planting that's taking place, they're fighting a war. So as a result of that, the article that I just read, they're anticipating in Yemen, a minimum of 140 plus thousand people that will simply die because of famine and that's not the only location. According to the scripture, there is going to be places in the, or I should say to the article, there's gonna be places in the Sudan they're predicting, places all around Africa for that matter and we have people that are watching from Africa tonight, they understand what's taking place in their continent and how important that it is that we recognize that this is one of the signs. Let me give you this information that was published by the National Geographic and this was on May 12th, 2020, that swarms of giant, of locusts, I should say, swarms of locusts over Eastern Africa was bringing in what would be identified as a great famine, so think about it. You've got swarms of locusts that are described in the Word of God in the Book of Revelation that will take place during the tribulation period but even now, according to this article, in places like Ethiopia, Kenya, where we have people watching from tonight, Somalia and other locations, the locusts have eaten the crops, you add to that what's taking place with the food supply that's being reduced and even our president said a few days ago that food shortages are real and they're going to come. We won't probably realize the significance of it until over in the fall because of harvesting season. Right now is the planting season and you're gonna see that in the days that are ahead and of course we see what's taking place with that in the fact of the second thing that I wanna share with you here and that is inflation and everybody knows that's taking place. Inflation is part of what will be the intensification of judgment that will come in the Book of Revelation during the seven years of tribulation. Revelation 6 and 6 tells us very clearly and we studied this last week that people will work an entire day for their wages, one whole day of wages to buy just a quart of wheat that is beyond our comprehension where we are right here in the United States of America but I can tell you in Venezuela and I have members of my family that understand this so clearly because their relatives are there in Venezuela that the food shortage is there because of socialism, because of communism, simply because of the ability to manufacture and of course Venezuela brings in food supplies from other locations just like just about every other continent. The point is this is that there will be the inflation that will take place where people will not be able to take care of their needs because they will be working a full day for a minimal amount of money that will not buy what it used to buy and you're already seeing that happening in the food stores, not only the food shortages but the increased prices of food all the way around. Inflation is a reality upon us right now and it is one of the foreshadowing effects that will happen during the tribulation period. It will only get worse during the tribulation period and there are certainly more shocks that will take place in the days ahead. The unemployment will exceed such a level because people will not be able to pay their employees. This is what's going to happen during the tribulation period. Pastor, I don't want to hear about all that. Well, you should listen, you should stay tuned because what I'm telling you now will help you to get prepared, not that you're going to be in the tribulation if you're born again. The Bible is very clear that we will escape this wrath that is to come but I'm telling you between now and then we just don't know what that it might be. We're seeing these signs now, it's going to be infinitely worse when it comes to the tribulation period. What this is going to do is help you to be a clearer, more passionate witness to those who do not know Jesus Christ. That's why I'm sharing this information to you in the fact that there will be inflation, there will be famine that will take over and we're seeing that right now and it will be coming. Not only that, but the Bible says in the book of Revelation 9 and 21 that violence will be so intense that there will be hatred one for another and killing one another as it was in the days of Noah, of the immorality, the murders that will take place just today in our own city of Pensacola, someone walked into a food store carrying a can of gas, poured it on one of the attendants that was in the store and lit the woman on fire. I'm telling you the violence and the level of violence is, it seems like on a daily basis that it seems to keep on climbing and it makes fear and it makes all kinds of anxiety take place for people. That's the reason why you need to listen to the entirety of this. I'm gonna help you in just a moment to be able to have the peace that you need in these troublesome times that we're in right now. So the Bible tells us in Revelation 9, Revelation 7 and Jesus said it in Matthew chapter number 24 that there would be violence in the land and the violence would take on such an intensity that it would be like it was during the days of Noah and of Sodom and Gomorrah. Let me just say to you, we've seen in the past few days where Disney has taken on a total different attitude than what it has ever had before concerning its indoctrination of our children. And I would caution you, my dear friends to filter everything that's going on. I don't care if it's Disney or something else in the days that we're living for your children. I'm thankful that here in the state of Florida that there was a bill that was passed to protect children from kindergarten all the way up to nine years old from the gender identity teaching and indoctrination that's coming into our public schools. Those children are still your children. And it seems like that the acts of violence are more against children than has ever been before. Just today here at Pace Assembly we experienced an act of violence last night upon our daycare and upon the church itself when someone in the middle of the night decided to just throw giant rocks through the windows and crash the glass just because. This, these random acts, it wasn't just us. It was five other businesses around the church that received this kind of damage. Violence is something that is going to intensify no doubt in the days ahead. And then we're watching the increase, number four of the increase of anti-Semitism, the hatred of Jewish people and the hatred of the nation of Israel. I told you last week, and I hope that you're sharing this out right now with everybody on Facebook. If you'll just punch that share button because they need to hear this. Anti-Semitism is on a rise right now. I just read the article before we came on the air here that in Tel Aviv a terrorist attack has taken place, taken the lives of multiple people right there. The intensity of anti-Semitism here in the United States is ratcheting up in New York, in the city of New York. It is ramping up to a whole nother level. And even our own Israeli ambassador, United States Israel ambassador has said that the policy of the United States with this administration is saying that they're standing with BDS, the boycott Israel, any products, divestments of anything that Israel is selling or any kind of interaction with them whatsoever and saying that the Jewish people should not be in the city of Jerusalem right now. It's amazing in just a short period of time things have turned from the Abrahamic Accords and the Jerusalem becoming the capital, declared capital of the nation of Israel for by the United States and the Golan Heights being declared belonging to the nation of Israel and the embassy being moved from Tel Aviv for the first time since its existence into the city of Jerusalem as the capital city. And now just a few months later, we're watching the anti-Semitic rhetoric that is ramping up. Jesus said in Matthew 24 that that is exactly what is going to take place in the last days. And through the tribulation period there will be unprecedented torment upon the Jewish people. Let me just say, in the first couple of months of 2019 through 2020, while the UN, the United Nations was in session, listen to this, the UN adopted 18 anti-Israel resolutions more than any other nation. The highest other nation that got anything was seven. Israel has received 18 anti-Israel resolutions during that period of time. That ought to tell you something about the people that are sitting in the UN. And then let me go to number five here this evening. And that is the fact that in the tribulation period there will be, as our president declared just a few days ago, a new world order. We are watching the formation of that right now. And the Bible is very clear that the shifting of power would take place from the West to the East as the Antichrist rises in power, does not leave the West out by any means. You can see how obviously involved we are in the Ukrainian war and supplying and that whole thing. It will be a worldwide collection under the new world order, under the Antichrist. That will take place during the seven year tribulation period. But I submit to you tonight that the spirit of Antichrist is already happening right now and many people have bought in to that kind of a spirit. We're watching what is identified as a slogan of build back better, the great reset. All of these terminologies have to do with this new world order. That will encompass the economics, the religious, the military, the governmental structure of the Antichrist. All of these things are happening right now and they will happen with absolute force in the coming period called the tribulation period. I want you to understand that the global climate control, what they call a crisis for that matter is part and parcel of the Antichrist agenda. What does that mean? Well, when you read in Romans chapter number one, you're gonna find out that the Bible says that people will turn from worshiping the creator to worshiping the creation. That's what climate control, that's what the whole climate ideology and I wanna say the climate theology is all about. It is literally a religion of the climate controlled individuals that want to embrace all that is encompassing that. And that means breaking down every other system just like you're seeing in the United States right now. No fossil fuels, everybody's supposed to buy electric cars. Well, I just wanna remind you that in order for you to charge that electric car which a few days ago I read that it took some 20 hours to get a full charge on that. You won't be going very far. The fact is it takes fossil fuels or electricity to be able to charge that electric car. I read the other day where one man who owned an electric car had to replace the battery in that electric car and the battery alone for that particular car cost some $25,000. So in this little news article that was out there he took the car out in the middle of the woods and literally set it on fire because he could not afford to purchase another battery to put inside of the car. These things, my friend, are part and parcel of the New World Order that is on the horizon. And as I said, President Biden said the other day that we are watching a New World Order in place coming into power. So you can see these things on a daily basis. Number six, very quickly, surrendering our rights. Just today and last night we heard, and it's very interesting that, and I, you know, if you've been watching the forecast and you've been hearing my Bible prophecy teaching, you know, I try to be very, very careful about what's taking place, but when there is such obvious lying and obvious, well, what they wanna call misinformation, disinformation, the fact is Dr. Fauci has come back on once again and said that we should look for another variant and we should prepare ourselves for more lockdowns. Well, the surrendering of our rights during this COVID crisis that has taken place and there is no doubt that there has been a virus that has broken out, that has taken the lives of thousands, for that matter, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands around the world. The fact is, is that there has been a giant step of the surrendering of the individual rights of citizens both here in the United States and of course around the world. And this with that mindset of taking our, giving our rights up is part of that agenda that will come during the tribulation period that the Antichrist will take over. Here's what I'm saying to you. While there are those governments around the world right now that are heavy handed and like China and so forth, that it's very much out there, all you've got to do is be able to read what's taking place out there. They have slave labor and so forth that's going on, abuses that are taking place, literally harvesting organs from people to sell in other locations. I mean, it's horrible what's taking place. The whole surrendering of rights and controls will come in according to the scripture through the Antichrist in a peaceable way. People will embrace the Antichrist and democracy, will the people will elect the Antichrist as the world leader. And we're watching the vacuum of leadership around the world right now that is opening the door for the Antichrist to step in. Number seven is the Mark of the Beast. A lot of talk that has been made about the Mark of the Beast and people have talked about it being barcode many, many years ago and so forth. But I think it's very obvious. I don't know what that actual mark will be. No one does. We do understand that it will be, according to the book of Revelation chapter 13, will be the number of man, 666. It could be the identifier of the Antichrist in some kind of symbol or his name identified in there that is put on the forehead or on the right hand of every individual and according to the scripture and that is every individual that wants to conduct business. Now, here's the thing that I see in the word of God. Because the Antichrist system and the Mark of the Beast is going to be something that will make its entrance with the Antichrist in order to number the people and get things under control. The Bible says in Revelation 13 verse 16 through 18 that no one will be able to buy or sell save they have the Mark of the Beast. So there's so many things that are swirling around that right now and you can see it in the news from what we're hearing about a digital currency coming in, a programmable digital currency. No one can buy or sell. Could it be within a short period of time that our American dollars may be absolutely worthless? And I'm just gonna tell you this from personal experience when we receive coins and you see these and we've seen it during the time of COVID, they put signs up. I remember pulling through Dunkin' Donut one day and they had a sign up that says, due to the coin shortage, we're not making change like that. Please use your card and so forth. Just the other day, as we collected coins, as children were bringing their offering in to Kids' Church so that we could purchase material for missionaries on the missionary field in their native language, that's what they bring that mission's offering for. We normally would take that down to the bank and put it into their coin sorter and the quarters, dimes, nickels, so forth would go into their respective vats and then we would make it a whole lot easier, especially to count it and be able to sleeve it and make it right so we could deposit it and then write the check to the missionary. Well, the fact is we went down to the bank and they said, we don't have a coin sorter anymore and we're not buying another one. That was two different locations that we tried to go and put these coins in to make it faster for us to count. The point is this, is that if we're seeing the removal of coins, coinage right now, what does that leave with the dollar? The fact that we have an actual coin in our hand is something that's tangible and it's metal and of course it's backed up supposedly by the United States, but if they're doing away with coins, the dollar will be no problem. The dollar is hardly worth. If anything worth the paper that it's even printed on right now, we are printing money so fast that there will have to be a shift and you're seeing that take place. According to the executive order from President Biden, there's about seven months before the Fed is supposed to be able to have all of the information and to be able to actually prepare to implement a digital dollar here in the United States. Now that's not just a card you swipe, it's a programmable currency that literally could be deleted or added to depending on what your attitude may be concerning the systems, the government, the social norms and so forth. So it's important for us to pay attention to that. That's something obviously that will take place in the tribulation period. Then there is number eight, the Middle East tension that's taking place. As we speak, I know all eyes have been on the Ukraine. I know all eyes have been on Russia and all the news has been all about that. But I can tell you right now, Iran and the Middle Eastern states are preparing themselves for the entrance even to attack Israel. Now you may not have heard very much about this but there have been a number of Israeli attacks that have been made in Syria and other locations in a very stealth way over the past several weeks, bombing raids that have taken place. And I can assure you that Israel, based upon what their own words are, will not and cannot allow Iran to have a nuclear bomb. Even though we're sitting here negotiating as the United States with a brand new Iranian nuclear deal, that my friends could open up Ezekiel 38, 39 and we see that happening on a daily basis. Not only that, the last two, apostasy. I see apostasy taking place as people are falling away from the faith like never before. Just earlier today, hearing about people that at one time had walked with the Lord and now their friends and family members have said, you know what? They don't want to even hear God's name mentioned. They used to be in the church, used to be walking with God and now they just exited and are in a backslidden state. They don't want to hear anything about God. My friends, this was predicted in the word of God and there will be a falling away, the Bible says. As the Antichrist begins to take power, this falling away is going to take place first, the Bible says. Are we watching that take place in our world right now because of pandemics and COVID? You can blame it on that, but let me take it a step further. Let's talk about all the things in the world that is getting the attention of people that they are putting before God. You know, I've got something else to do today so I don't go to church. I've got something else to do so I don't pray or whatever that it may be. I'm just telling you that there are plenty of God's being offered by Satan today and so many of God's people that have one time walked with the Lord, have fallen away from their red-hot commitment to Jesus Christ. I want to just stop right here and say to all of you that are watching, if your relationship with God is not where it needs to be, it's time, it is time, it is time. To be able to find your relationship with God red-hot and on fire, redo your first works over again. Let the love of God be preeminent inside of your life and let nothing, I don't care what it is, entertainment, whatever that it is, let nothing come between you and your relationship with Jesus Christ. That's so important as we're watching by the thousands as people are walking away from church and it will intensify during the time of the tribulation period. In fact, Jesus said himself, when he comes again, will he find faith in the earth? Think about it. Number 10, and this is the final one tonight, is lawlessness. My friends, you don't have to go far to find that lawlessness is taking over. And as I said, right here tonight, several shootings right here in Pensacola today, a woman set on fire, literally, numerous others. We were victims of violence and lawlessness today. It's happening all around our globe. What is that? Well, the Bible says that the Antichrist, one of the names of the Antichrist is the man of lawlessness, the man of sin. So he brings lawlessness in. Every person who is a believer will abide by the law of the land of the law of God. And the Bible says that the Antichrist steps on the scene, bringing in this new world order that will be lawlessness that will be rampant in the land, especially during the time of the tribulation. So with all that being said, pastor, what in the world am I supposed to do? Well, let me just quickly take just a moment here before we leave you tonight and remind you of some things that I preached this past weekend concerning the fact that you need to be a person to keep your faith and be an overcomer in every season. If you haven't seen that message, I encourage you to go back and watch the message that's available on archives at pacesimley.org. I just want to remind you of these essentials to be able to transcend and to overcome and outlast every season. Right now, we're in a bad season and you may be walking through a tough place or a blessed place, but understand seasons change and nothing remains the same except for God and His promises. So let me just quickly remind you of these few things that I shared Sunday to encourage your heart to keep the faith in these closing hours before Jesus Christ comes. Number one, faith will always, faith in God will always transcend every season. Now that's not just knowing about God. That is having an abiding trust in Him. You've got to know God in order to trust Him. Some of you say, well, Pastor, I don't know if I can trust you. Well, the reason why is we don't know each other. You haven't heard what I preached or you're not perhaps familiar with this ministry, whatever. And I completely understand. You want to be able to know those who labor among you, the Bible says. Trust in God is the key to outlasting the season and faith in God is what is required if you're going to be able to survive. You read the book of Hebrews chapter number 11 and you're going to see those that endured every season and some of them, according to the scripture, endured seasons not having yet received the promise but believed that there was a promise of God that would come to pass. The second thing that I shared with you this past Sunday is that God transcends every season. I love the fact that the scripture is so clear here. Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever. My friends, he's not going to change. And when the world is upside down and inside out and the world is on fire, understand that God will remain the same and he is the steady rock of ages that you can place your life, your family, your business, every part of you, your mind. Can you see Jacob laying his head on that rock, the pillow and slept all night because the rock of ages is where he laid his head down and he was peaceful throughout that night because the rock of ages was God that he literally was resting in. So I encourage you to make sure that you remember that God transcends every season. If you're in a bad season right now, cling to God more closely, draw near to God. The third thing I reminded you of this past weekend was this, the word of God transcends every season. The Bible says that the promises of God or the word of God is forever settled in heaven. Heaven and earth is gonna pass away, but the word of God will last forever. The word of God transcends every season. So what does that mean? That means whatever season I'm in right now, God has a word for me. And I don't have to search it out from somebody giving me a prophetic word or, and that would be wonderful, but let it only confirm, a prophetic word should only confirm what you've already been studying in the word of God, what you already know to be true about God. It's not to tell you like some horoscope how you're blessed. I should know that from just simply picking up the word of God and understanding it. If somebody gives me a prophetic word, then let it be in the mouth of two or three witnesses and let it come to pass and I will, I believe it. But that's not the word of God, not somebody's prophetic word. The word of God is what outlasts every season. Be instant in season out of season. Why? Because the word of God is gonna transcend every season. Number four, the promises of God will outlast every season, transcend every season. The Bible says the promises of God will stand through a thousand generations. The promises of God are yay and amen. In other words, when God makes a promise, he will not retract it. He's a God who keeps his word to a thousand generations, the Bible says. There's over 3,000 promises that are found in the word of God. Don't tell me that you can't find a promise from God's word, stand upon that promise. And the key to standing on that promise is the fact that you stand on it until it comes to pass. Because God cannot lie, he will bring that promise to pass. You can take the word of God on it. Number five, you need a fresh anointing to transcend every season. That is for every season there is a fresh anointing. The Bible says I shall be anointed with fresh oil. Understand that when Jesus came in Luke chapter four and preached in that synagogue, he said, the spirit of the Lord is upon me. And then he goes into what he would be doing here on this earth and what we should be doing. And then he comes down to the conclusion of that message, very short message in reading from the book of Isaiah in that synagogue. And he says this, and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. In other words, that fresh anointing was upon him for whatever time, whatever time he was here, that three and a half years of ministry. He was here for 33 and a half years, but three and a half years of ministry. Jesus was anointed to do what he was able to do. And he found himself in prayer and a fresh anointing came upon his life. Every person listening to me right now needs to seek for a fresh anointing on your life every day. You never know what you're going to encounter. There have been things that I've been up since early this morning because of the vandalism that took place at the church. And I can tell you, you never know what you're going to face in one day. So you need a fresh anointing for that day. I hope you're hearing what I'm saying right now. If you hear this, you ought to give me some thumbs up out there or something. I can't hear no amen's from where I'm at. I'm about to amen myself. Give some thumbs up out there if you're saying amen with me because you need to know that a fresh anointing is going to be for this moment. I'm just going to tell you, you may need multiple anointings throughout the day to deal with what you have to deal with. Everybody who is watching me right now is going to face some challenges every day and it may change from moment to moment. The emotions of what I've had to deal with just today myself has required a fresh anointing for every stop that I have made, even to this very moment. I ask God, before I came on here live with you, Lord, give me a fresh anointing to be able to speak to the people tonight. We need a fresh anointing to lay down this evening and take our rest while storms are passing overhead to keep us in peace whose mind has stayed upon the Lord. I wish I had somebody throw some thumbs up out there. Come on. And so these things are just a few things that will help you through the seasons of life. And I made this statement to you Sunday that your season of pain can't stop your sacrifice of praise. So what are you saying? My worship will transcend every season. My worship will transcend every season. David knew how to worship the Lord. And I'm just going to tell you, he knew how to pour out his heart and he teaches us from the book of Psalm 34 and one, I will bless the Lord at all times. Get that, his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My friends, tonight you should take the time to praise the Lord and give him glory. Sometimes you may not even be able to utter it out of your mouth. It might just be a thought for a moment, but at some point there needs to be an expression of praise given to God because that's what helps you transcend every season is your worship, your sacrifice of praise. What is the enemy? What is Satan trying to do to stifle your praise? What did this pandemic, what did this COVID? I know and I feel confident that I suffered from it. My wife did as well. What did it attack? What did this disease, this virus attack? It attacked the respiratory system. That is your breathing. Understand, the Bible says, let everything that has breath praise the Lord. David said, I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Whatever you do, you need to push out a praise every day continually. Keep the praises of God upon your lips as the fruit of your lips, bringing praise into his name. You say, well pastor, I don't know what to praise him for. Are you alive? Do you have breath? Did you get up this morning? Did you walk into the next room? I'm telling you that there's not a moment that you shouldn't spend time praising God in some fashion. And it will be a sacrifice, especially when you're in your season of pain. My friend, they're not a person that's watching right now that's joining with me who hasn't been in their season of pain. But if you won't stop your sacrifice of praise, God's gonna bring you through that season of pain and you're gonna come out on the other side victorious as an overcomer and you're gonna look back on that season and say it was good that I was afflicted. For have I not, if I hadn't been afflicted, I would have never known the blessings, the favor, the grace, the mercy of God upon my life. That's just what God does. And he deserves the praise from his people. He can get praise from angels, but they're created. He wants those that are by design to open their mouth and give him the praise. I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Well, I hope that this message has been a blessing to you tonight, not only to bring you insight concerning what's taking place, but also to help you to transcend through the season that you may be in right now. Fear not, my friend, God is for you. And if God be for you, who can be against you? Tonight, we wanna close this Facebook Live with prayer for those that are in harm's way with the storm coming through and for your need that may be going on. If you're watching online and you have a need in your life and you wanna be able to express that, you can put that right there in the comments where you're typing in and chatting and we will get that and we'll put that into our prayer team and into our time of prayer and agree with you for miracle, signs and wonders. We still believe at Pace Assembly that God is a God of miracles. He's still doing miracles today, it's not outdated, it's not going out with the apostles. He's still healing, he's still saving, he's still delivering today. And we praise God for that. And I know that he's doing it inside of your life today. It doesn't take some great big exercise of our faith. The faith is a grain of mustard seed placed in the right place at the cross of Jesus Christ. We'll save, deliver, heal and set free and there's no struggle because God is the deliverer. Jesus Christ shed his blood for our sins, took the stripes on his back for our healing and he has proclaimed deliverance to the captive this very night. Let's pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you tonight for all of those that are watching online who've joined us for this service, I pray right now Lord that you would bless their life and keep them for everybody who may be in harm's way of this severe storm that's coming through our area and through Arkansas already, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, here in Florida and then we'll go on into Georgia and other places. Lord, we pray for the preservation of life, for the protection of people that you Lord Jesus would allow believers, Christians to be able to reach out to their neighbors and help them to Lord feel the comforting hand of those that believe that Jesus Christ is able to keep them. I pray right now in the name of Jesus that you would touch the lives of people that are watching, somebody that's watching, who needs to give their life to Jesus Christ. I pray that they would call out upon your name right now and by the anointing of God in the saving hand of Jesus Christ that you will save them from their sins right now. Let them place their sins at the cross and receive right now. Lord, salvation, forgiveness, take away the shame and the guilt from their life and deliver them and set them free. I pray God for every person that is watching this evening that you would keep your hand of favor upon them and whatever season that they may be in. I pray mighty God right now that you would cause them to outlast whatever season that it may be in by keeping their faith firmly and exclusively in the cross of Jesus Christ. Lord, for their salvation, their deliverance, their sanctification, every part of their life it all is found right there at the cross and we give you praise for it in the mighty name of Jesus and for your glory. We bless you at all times. Your praise will continually be in our mouth. Praise God, my friends. Thank you for watching tonight. What a blessing to have you join us. It's been a little while since I've been able to come to you in this fashion and I hope that you found that this word has been touching your life and ministering to your need here this evening. Before we go, let me remind you of a couple of things. One is this coming weekend. We want you to join us for the exciting first part, part one of the illustrated sermon series, Hope Has a Name, Jesus. This coming weekend, Hope Restores. You will not want to miss it. If you've got loved ones who need restoration in their life, I encourage you to watch this. It will be a powerful testimony and word from the Lord that's going to bring deliverance into the lives of so many. I'm believing I want you to pray with me for that to take place that lives will be restored by the tens of thousands this coming weekend. And I want you to do whatever you can to help us get this word out to people through Facebook, whatever. Go on to pacesimley.org and share out the link so that people will join us from around the world and we can see a massive healing, salvation and deliverance take place this coming weekend.

If you'll go right there to pacesimley.org or on your phone, you can download the Pacesimley app. Then I would encourage you to be faithful in your giving tonight and bless the Lord in your giving with an offering of the tithe, whatever that God lays upon your heart to be able to give in an offering, I can assure you that it will be used for the building of the kingdom and it will keep the gospel moving forward. And just like taking time to be able to pray through this medium, we pay for Boxcast and all that is taking place, the very internet that we're sharing right now, all of that is paid for because you are a giver and we thank you for taking the opportunity to give.
