 Wednesday it is a Wednesday. It is a windy Wednesday here in Pittsburgh But we're happy that you decided to join us here on Hope Today I am Corey and this is Tom and we're gonna talk about some very very Significant topics to get today, but first I want to say again, even though it's the 10th day in January Happy New Year again I hope that you have setting some new systems and some new goals in your life as we go through Some people do a New Year's resolution, but I want to call it like a New Year's revolution Where you're continually putting yourself in a position to fight against old habits old systems because you have a vision for your life I know I have a vision for my life. What about you Tom? You have a vision for this year specifically some personal things I mean some personal goals. I mean I had mentioned last week. We joined the gym You know along with everybody. I mean we were down there January 1st the first day you know we're down there and You know in the summer we're always bike riding but in the winter we lay about too much, you know So it's gonna be good and you know always to read the word of God To pray and to lift things up more and you know you talk about windy I can hear you know you guys can't hear it, but we can hear the wind is whipping outside here And I don't know if that's an end times prophetic thing, but we're gonna be talking about that You know Jesus told us to be aware of the times and the seasons But as Christians, what can we do in the situation? We find ourselves. How do we live that out? Well, Jordan Wells is gonna be with us. He's written a novel called the messengers Unlock ancient secrets that could hold the key to the future of America So we're gonna be talking with Jordan talking about that about the book and about What he sees as the prophetic timeline that we're on it's gonna be a great discussion Yeah, and this is a very very valuable time to be able to hear from the Lord because I just really feel like and you may Feel that as a believer that God is really really calling his ones that are to him his sheep He's really really calling them more than ever And so there's things in your life that you have been just you know Just playing with flirting with God is really calling for those things to come into a surrender He's saying hey, listen, you know, there's been grace and sometimes we get a little bit, you know over Gracie Okay, we like well well thank God and God forgive me But at this time God is really calling for repentance and surrender of some things So we hope that today's topic today would really bring in a fire inside of you as we discuss more So we got a game we do so you use you said the word surrender Well, we're not gonna surrender right now because we're gonna place thump the host So you need to play along with us. We have not seen these questions We have not been prepped in any way and these are revelation and end times questions So Lord help us. Here's the first one to whom was the book of revelation addressed to? Okay, okay now There were several churches. There were the seven churches. Those are the first three chapters, you know or the first few chapters there were the seven churches You want to go with that? Well, I'm thinking that because I mean Jesus started talking about the candle lights being extinguished So he was Generally talking about that. I know he's speaking to everyone, but I would I would say those seven churches That was a representation say the seven churches Including the church in Philadelphia He's talking to Pennsylvania even that Yeah, because we need it. We need it. All right, here we go. So in revelation chapter 10 What did John do with the little book that was given to him by the angel? He ate it. He ate it. He ate it, right? We're gonna say is our final answer. He ate it You know it was sweet, but it it was sweet to take but then it was bitter bitter in the stomach. Yeah Interesting stuff. Yes, Cory. He's got his revelation down here ready. Let's go with our last one here I hope you're playing along a great wonder appeared in heaven. It was a woman clothed with the Sun What was her crown made from? Wow What was it? What was her crown made from you got anything here? Can I get a hit? Let's read that again a great wonder appeared in heaven. It was a woman clothed with the Sun. What was her crown made from? Let's say I don't know the prayers of the saints. I have no idea. That would be the prayers of the saints or would it be would it be like a Mark not marble Pearl no no wasn't we're gonna go with your answer I have to plead ignorance on that one. I was not getting that. Well, I enjoyed that Listen now, let's let's now check in with sydney and see what she has coming up on this week's edition of the glory hour Hey family, it is sydney here and I am super excited for episode five of the glory hour We are getting into the power and the prayer of fasting for breakthrough. I'm so excited because we have dr Jennifer at miscoff. She's joining us She's gonna break down how the sacred spiritual practice is a super natural gateway So we can fast that we experience and encounter the glory of god How it leads us into consecration of being baptized in the fire of the holy spirit And also she gets into which is very sobering how fasting prepares us for persecution I wasn't ready to hear that but it was really deep what she was sharing and I believe that insight will even Speak something into the inside of you to know why now is the time in the hour that god wants us to draw closer to him And one of the best ways is through developing not just a practice of fasting But a lifestyle of fasting you're gonna hear more about her lifestyle of fasting and what is birth in her life It's really inspiring and also we're gonna talk a little bit about how the oil of the holy spirit comes forth when we get crushed And how that is necessary the crushing the breaking the crisis is in our lives Draws us closer to god because you know what y'all god is calling us now more than ever before to be hungry To seek after him because he is on the move revival is happening There's an awakening of the holy spirit and outpouring like never before and it is time for us to get on god's times table It's time for us to be laid down lovers of the holy spirit to surrender all So that we can be empty vessels that we can go out and be the light and share the good news of jesus So y'all it's gonna be good prayer and fasting for breakthrough Don't miss it coming up today on wednesday at 3 p.m On cornerstone tells you networks youtube channel and as always it streams After that too so if you can't check catch it at 3 p.m Be sure to catch it later and share it with your friends too.

How you guys doing god bless you. Thank you for having me Well, uh before we get to the book and i'm fascinated that you wrote it as a novel because I love novels I mean, I love I love, you know just uh seeing where where they go But let me ask you about your own life your own spiritual background Well, um, I was saved at 18. I had a drug overdose Um overdosed on uh k2 I grew up in church, but fell away from the lord got into drugs partying You know all the horrible things that teenagers do and god just uh would begin to call me to preach about 17 years Old and I was like jones. I ran from the call of god. So I don't want to be no preacher. They don't make no money I remember somebody tell me that you know because my dad, you know, he you know He was kind of you know, he sold drugs and so I was always around money And so I said I don't want to I don't want to be no preacher. I thought all preachers just broke They just walk around, you know and serve the church and so I said I don't want to do that Somebody said you gonna be a preacher when you get I said I don't want to be a preacher They don't make no money but god got got a hold of me and uh, I had an overdose on k2 and I heard the voice of god say uh to preach the gospel and tell my people i'm coming back to him and prepare the way and um I said lord if you don't you know, if you save me, I'll preach the gospel and I did 18 from 18 years old on I've been preaching the gospel uh now over a decade and uh, you know preaching all around the world now And I just appreciate god for how he saved me because I tell him if he can save me he can save anybody Yeah, I love that. Don't you don't you love the art it says the Lord's arm is not so short that he cannot save so he reached you right where you were Yeah, he reached me and you know the thing I tell people is God reached me in a place where I wasn't looking for him You know, I was not looking for god I was not I I didn't have some super spiritual as prophetic as they people feel like I am I didn't have some super. I wasn't the supernatural person I wasn't this I had a basic childhood when it comes to uh, just you know With the church every now and then they can't remember one sermon I heard growing up in church Um, you know, but I always had a love for the lord And when I got saved I remember I was dating this girl was us Moved out at home at a young age. I was you know out there and um, and I remember crying out to the lord I was suicidal and I said god I need you You know, I need you. I can't go online because I don't want to live like this anymore And I'm and god he saved me and he heard my prayer. He said the uh, david said I called on the lord He answered me He heard my prayer and he heard my prayer and I just fell in love with jesus and I've been It's been a love affair ever since love. Yeah, I love I love him and uh, that's why You know, I say the things I you know, I'm willing to speak for the lord, you know, I don't have any church in me You know any I just I got he saved my out of the world I mean, I mean just you know, nobody would have considered me a preacher. I got kicked out every I got kicked out of several high schools. I was fighting. I got expelled from schools I was literally my own father told me you would be either dead in jail Um, that's my child was that was that was what I experienced and so you know, he didn't say that to be me It was just a path I was on you know, I wanted to be popular I just you know, and um, but god, you know, he He he saves the most least likely they choose the foolish thing that this world to confound the wise You know, I just have to say this There's probably somebody watching that has felt that suicidal thing pull on him We know that's a real problem among young people now that has feelings those You know the hopelessness. What would you say to that person? What would you say that person about hope? I would say that jesus is the is is really you can have a I think what I had to realize is that you can have a personal With jesus because sometimes the church preaches about a person like he's not a person You know, it's almost like a church language, but I've met a person in my room I I met a person a real person that gives you the presence of god And I fell in love with a person in his presence his presence the bible says in his presence Is fullness of joy? So I have a joy that the world can't take from me No matter what we see going on in our country No matter what we see going on our own personal life the joy of god has been consistent in my life And I've went through some crazy stuff even being saved and being in ministry But the lord's joy his presence is what I eat on every morning every day throughout the day I don't never leave fellowship with god. I've been fellowship god with y'all You know, he's with me now and so I think when young people understand that what you're looking for you can't find in drugs You can't find in sexual relationships You can't find any of those that you only can find it in jesus christ and the presence of the holy spirit And so so jordan being young and I actually started in ministry at a young age I was I was 15 years old did it for 19 years. I was young as pk parents or pastors and everything like that How have you been able to? Walk through your walk in ministry, but also deal with the the humanism The aspects of pressure and stuff like that How have you been able to walk with god in that process of him sanctifying you because you know that takes time How has your relationship with god been going through ministry and also letting him sanctify your life? Well, I think the the thing that that helped me was That I grew up seeing a lot of hypocrisy in church um And so when I got saved I was almost so god I have a personality where I'm like either hot or cold. I don't do the middle thing I'm either hot or cold. You know, I have like a addictive personality You know when I'm in some I'm in it and it helps me kind of so I haven't been perfect But I think one thing is that I was mentored right? A woman of god won me to the lord who's a nurse. She was a holy woman. I mean, I never seen her I mean if she said I haven't seen it, you know, she was one of those people, you know Like a modern day mother teresa, you know, but um, she taught me about holiness She taught me about the lord and loving jesus and I would say for me It's always gone back to that even when I made mistakes even when I Falling short of his glory as we all do, you know, one thing is consistent when you're in love with a person The bible says if you love me, you'll keep my commandments. So loving jesus if you do it religiously, it's not gonna work This is too hard to do in your own strength You have to love jesus with everything more than your mother more than your parents more than everything in this world It can't even compare to loving him. And so when you love him like that Every it becomes it not easy, but even if you slip you're like, I can't stay there Because yeah, he's a man. I'm on a race And you know when you're racing on a hundred meter, your your goal is the finish line And you have to be fixated on that if you're not You'll be caught up on this and that and this and that and this doctrine and that doctrine He said the winds of doctrine the policy, you know the apostles say the winds of doctrine And and so my my father said I I have a goal That's to win as many people to lord as I can before he returns No, you had said something. I'm sorry. You had said something a little bit earlier You know about your your father when you were younger you like you were used to seeing money your dad was you know Selling drugs and things like that How did your relationship with your father or your relationship with your family become impacted? Once all of a sudden jordan is like, yo jordan going to church Jordan fasted jordan preach it like what's going on? Was it was it weird for friends and family when they're like, yo What's really happened in your life and things like that? How has that impacted your family your change for god? Well, it impacted my family Not as much in the beginning because I I had I was actually diagnosed with adhd grown up And so most people thought I would never but I had teachers say you'll never be anything You you know, I think I couldn't read you they think I they thought I mean I was always smart But I was you know class clown and so They didn't they I went through like six different colleges or universities I would go to college drop out go to so they thought it was just another fat, you know to be honest And it took a while for my lifestyle But then my brother I tell a story my brothers and the cousin they picked me up to go to a party And I still was trying to be you know in the out of the world But I was still trying to be in the work because I didn't want to lose everybody You know like a lot of young people So I go in the car. I have my suit on and I have a big bible I took it to the club We're on our way to the club And I'm yelling at them to turn down the music and they dropped me back off at home So that that kind of sums up now My my relationship with god because god has publicly You know shown his glory people everywhere I have cousins reaching out for ministry and people who are still in my cousin that was literally in the drug lifestyle Selling drugs what he reached out to me for a personal counseling ministry session gave his life to christ My mom's relationship got a lot stronger with the lord my brothers My cousins jump on my it's on my youtube live my facebook lives My whole family has been transformed by my relationship with god because One thing about jordan is i'm never going to be ashamed of the gospel of jesus christ I'm a voice crying out in the wilderness not just out anywhere I go. I'm a voice even in my own household So that's just me. Well, I love that. I love that You know your whole this is a great base for what we're going to talk about because this is what really matters right Each person we're going to talk about the end times here But your relationship with god is what the main thing that we're starting we want to start from Is that you that what you would know him that you would love him that you would have that Knowing all about the end times isn't going to matter if you don't have jesus says your lord's savior That's what's gonna matter So let me ask you about let me ask you about the messenger. Why did you write this as a novel? Again, I think it's a great idea a lot of people write books about the end times or prophetic things Why why is the novel because I think that jesus is our it's just i'm so amazed by the ministry of jesus And how he taught parables You know parables was a what jesus sometimes will say some very hard things And I don't think we understand some of the things he said in those parables And that's why he would say a parable then when he would explain it everybody walk away when he would Initially say the parable people would receive it and they would be all wow that was wonderful teaching But in when he would break down what the parable actually means This said the crowds would then out So parables so a novel for me was a way to release what god was showing me for america And this generation in a way that people can understand it and receive it people love a good story people love a good drama So I felt like god gave it to me I was writing it and it was coming out like I wasn't liking how it was sounding And so god told me write it as a novel Write it in a story take people on a journey throughout history the history of israel the history of america The history of the church and take people on a on a walk and then release prophetic truths Throughout the story of different characters biblical figures that we know that we all can relate to So how's that applied to the everyday christian? So we've got the everyday christian Going to church trying to make ends meet trying to follow the lord How's your book and the prophetic message applied to that person? Well one of the the Core purposes of the messengers is that we all are called to be a messenger Um, of course, we know that messengers in the bible where you know the old testament prophets But everybody has is not a prophet, but people have a prophetic message You can be a prophetic message on a messenger on your workplace on your job You can be a prophetic messenger in anywhere you can be a doctor But really the prophetic message about being a first day a prayer warrior A person that prays a person that spends time with the lord Really about being an intercessor a person that prays because right now in america more than anything right now We need prayer We need people that are a watchman on the wall people that are praying for this country praying for revival praying for This generation to be saved we see all the statistics about what's happening Here the economy and different things that are going on But I believe the the the the job and responsibility of the body of christ Is to be to be praying in this hour more than any other time because I believe god can still Change our youth save our youth bring revival to our nation And that's what the messengers really is is a message of revival It's about being a message of hope A message that in the midst of all the doom and gloom people that are people saying this and that What's the future of this and this I try to hit it from a different perspective Yes, I give people the end time perspective of what's coming. I'm not oblivious to that But at the same time, what are we supposed to be doing because the bible says we are to occupy until he comes We're not supposed to crawl in a bunker somewhere and just pray that jesus raptures us out of here We're supposed to be actively engaged and praying and fasting We have a movement called the joe two generation off of joe Which is talks about praying and fasting for revival that whole book is about an end time book about praying and fasting for revival The main character in the book is named ester. What is ester known for? There was a spirit of death that came upon the jewish people to of hayman An antichrist spirit that wanted to kill the jewish people. Well, there's an attack against the church right now There's a cultural attack. There's an attack against truth But the esters led everybody on a three-day fast and everybody began to pray Then she said you are called for a time such as this and I believe my message to the church is that we are called For a time such as this. This is our greatest hour This is our time for the church to arise to become the church of jesus christ to stand in our place like ester And to pray and fast for this nation to be to be changed and to even prepare the church for the days ahead You know what that's absolutely powerful What you're saying and I just want to talk to you about some things that god has been speaking to you right now Even in correlation to the book that you know 2024 seems already like like a year of exposure Right and and when we say exposure, I don't know if you've seen any of the cat williams discussion Club shea and everything like that where he really began to just Un uncover a lot of mistruths that have been said But I was looking at through spiritual eyes as well in regards to There being a lot of ministries that haven't been operating fully As the ministries that god has really called them to be like even in revelations We were playing the game, you know Stumped the guest where we were you know, who is jesus talking to in that the seven churches You know he was saying many senses if you don't change this we're going to extinguish your candlestick What do you feel god is speaking in this gender this time 2024 What should the church be doing right now to prepare the way and to occupy? Well, this is a time of exposing and I always tell people that god is raising up God will use anybody he'll use a donkey use balum And god will use anybody and when I say that people get offended But the thing is god will use anybody and I believe he's and even cat williams spoke He said there was the exposure and I prophesied and I released the word that god was exposing Why does god expose god exposes so that everything that is hidden can be Brought to the surface so that can be repentant so that can be transformation God is not only exposing because there's been a lot of people doing church But we it's time to become the church and so god is exposing because we thought that it was just I told people god don't need our help to win souls And so god is it's going to be exposing this is going to be the greatest year of exposure Because god wants to bring back two things to the church. He wants to bring back prayer And he wants to bring back the fear of the lord With the fear of the lord comes the glory of god And I believe the church is entering the greatest hour of glory But we there's got to be a shaking before glory god always shakes before the glory comes Because the if you read hosea, he said the temple the ladder glory would be greater than the former So I believe that's what god is preparing us for you know, yes, the world's going to be shaking I really I believe there's going to be a lot of things for us to pray about You know, there's going to be an exposure like cat williams said like a lot of the prophetic voices said like I prophesied exposure You know the shaking that's coming all those things in the economy and different things But what is the church supposed to be doing the church is supposed to be on the wall The church is supposed to be praying fasting in the preaching the gospel I believe this is going to be some of the greatest time of evangelism and harvest we've ever seen This is going to be some because people are when the midst of the chaos that's going to be going on in our country They're looking for like and it was a famous what happened With a leader, you know, with with stuff that happened It was some you know controversy that went on with what a leader did in this church And somebody reached out to me and said I was on my way back to church, but I saw that video and I'm not going So we're actually trying to become more like the world to win the world But I'm gonna tell you as a person that was in every lifestyle you can name It wasn't that that drew me to god It was the raw presence and power of jesus that won me. We don't need to make jesus We don't need to dumb down jesus Jesus his presence is enough And I think the church's message the true church because there's going to be two churches There's an apostate church that we're going to see and this church is going to compromise They're going to give themselves over to false doctrine false teaching that's in the book as well Then there's going to be a true church that church is called the remnant church And they're going to carry the glory and they're going to carry a message of truth I was going to ask you about the remnant because we want to be that right now We want to be that why don't you take that we just have about two minutes left in the show Why don't you look into that camera right there and speak to someone who says Maybe they don't know the lord or maybe they've been turned off to church Speak to them what god has for them. Well, I just feel like there might be somebody watching me right now and You might be suicidal. I feel that in my spirit right now. There's somebody watching me. You're suicidal You you went through a divorce you went through and you feel like god is done with you But i'm here to tell you right now about the spirit of god that god said he's giving you beauty for your ashes That he's giving you joy from it. It's not too late This is going to be a year of restoration for many people where things you lost in 2023 you lost your marriage You lost your business your business maybe was affected by the economy somebody watching me You said I lost my business my business hasn't been the same since kovat my church hasn't been the same But I believe by the spirit of god that god is right now is releasing hope to people that 2024 is going to be your greatest year 2024 is going to be your breakthrough for your marriage your marriage is going to be restored Your family is going to be restored somebody else is watching me I feel like your children your children have walked away from the lords you That you've been praying for them and praying for them and you say god as you get closer return I want my family to be safe god says he's saving families. He's saving the protocols the protocols are returning Home and this is and I just pray for you right now I pray for that pastor that wants to give up on ministry that pastor that say i've been praying I've been fasting in my church You know there's been a church split here and and a church split there But god says that i'm going to restore you because you've been faithful you've been faithful and I love you my son I love you my daughter I'm going to give you back every year that the locusts and the cake of warm and palm warm i pray for you right now That god will restore you i pray right now that god would heal you I pray that god would deliver you whatever you're struggling with depression has to go Suicide has to go anger has to go.
