 Hello, I'm Pastor Joey Rogers and welcome to Prophecy Files. We're glad that you've joined us today We're certainly living in a time of prophetic significance happening on a daily basis And of course still with the stay-home order that has been issued all around our country for the safety of Everyone concerned there is uprisings that are taking place and certainly when there is lawlessness and Conditions like we have it right now people being confined You can look for that next step If things are not under control of civil unrest well We want to deal with that just a little bit on today's prophecy files and what that leads to into the future I want you to stay tuned the close of this broadcast today. I'm going to share with you a clip That I believe is a prophetic word for us from a prophecy file update from last year whenever I was preaching and bringing to the congregation some of the Signs of the times and concluding the message of how important that word will be to us today So stay tuned for that I believe it will be insightful and help you and encourage you to live in these last days Prior to the coming of the Lord but first let me take you to some of these articles that are pointing us toward The very events that I'm speaking about one deals with money losing its meaning From this particular article in Bloomberg He says doing whatever it takes to save the global economy from the corona pandemic is going to cost a lot of money United States government alone is spending a few trillion dollars and the Federal Reserve is creating another few trillion dollars to keep The financial system from collapsing a Bloomberg index measured the M2 figures for the 12 major economies Including China and Eurozone Japan so forth have already doubled to 80 trillion dollars That's from the 2008 2009 crisis. It goes on these numbers are so large that they no longer have any meaning They are simply abstractions. It's been sometimes since people Thought about the concept of money and its purpose I can tell you one of the signs of the last days according to the scripture as we shared with you on last week's prophecy file program of The economy and the rippling effect that takes place from what is happening right now Someone was asked a few days ago That is in a position with the IRS. How is this money coming about and In a comic kind of relief moment. They said well there they've got printing presses and they're just printing the money Well, it's very true. That's exactly what's taking place and the value of that is going down by the day It is bringing us to the edge of economic collapse Prophets of old have prophesied that these things would take place prior to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ Here's another article that you need to be aware of stay-at-home orders cause protest nationwide You're seeing now civil unrest taking place People that are saying we've been confined long enough It's time for you to turn turn us loose back into the workforce and so forth and certainly I believe that there is every Desire for that to take place However, we're now at a place according to this article where 16.8 million Americans have filed for unemployment and that joblessness is A condition that could certainly boil over in the time that we're living in right now These things are certainly true Concerning Bible prophecy and civil unrest or what the Bible calls lawlessness in the last days But here's the article that struck me That I believe is a tell sign and this is what I want to deal with today from the New York governor Andrew Cuomo who stated quote God did not stop the spread of this virus the article says from his quote in a Interview that he was having with CNN. We're talking about a reopening He says that has a public health plan and an economic plan totally coordinated our behavior He says has stopped the spread of the virus God did not stop the spread of the virus and what we do how we act will Dictate how the virus spreads well I truly believe that human beings are part of the answer by the biblical Direction of separating and isolating when there is a pandemic a virus a plague There's nothing wrong with that and that's cooperative and that is what needs to take place But to say in the face of God God had nothing to do with it God did not stop the spread of this virus as he stated. I want you to understand that that's in the face of God and that's what concerns me in this time that we're living in right now because Even Christian people are on the brink of their faith and some are throwing their hands up saying Where is God in the middle of this? We prayed and there's no answer Well, just because that God doesn't answer like the second window at our fast-food restaurant Doesn't mean that God is not in charge and I want to share with you this passage of scripture from 2nd Thessalonians Because I believe there's two things that are going to take place either hearts are going to be hardened toward God Or they're going to be humbled now that statement from the governor of New York is not one of humility It's one that says we did it all and that is certainly prophetic in the word of God Romans chapter 1 says that man begins to heap the praise upon himself and doesn't even take God into consideration So from the book of 2nd Thessalonians chapter number 2 verse 1 he says this Now we beseech you brother and by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by our gathering together Under him that term Gathering together deals with the rapture of the church and this is what he says in verse 2 not to be soon shaken in your mind nor troubled neither by spirit Nor by word nor by letter as if it was coming from us as to the day of the Lord or the day of Christ So he says I don't want you to be on shaky ground I don't want you to be shaken like a ship that is on the sea that's agitated I don't want you to be shaken in your mind. Don't lose the peace of God don't be in a place where your steadfastness is being undermined by a word of prophecy that somebody has or some Letter of authority that's coming your way telling you all about the bad things or even about good things Some prophecy of peace that is supposed to take place hear me This scripture here is speaking to us about the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ And what was happening during the time of the Thessalonians when Paul writes this is that many of them were just casting off Restraint and becoming lazy and mooching off of other Christians not even working not even trying to be able to Extend the kingdom of God. They were just sitting around because they had gotten false Prophets and false preachers that were telling them that Your dead loved ones are dead and gone You'll never see them again and the rapture has already taken place the Lord has already come which was a lie It was a false prophecy So Paul straightens this out and he says in verse 3 let no man deceive you by any means and this is important For that the day shall not come except there come a falling away first and that man of sin be revealed That's part 2 the son of perdition and what does it look like? He said when that's taking place first, there's going to be this falling away And I believe we're seeing some of that even right now and then after that takes place in the prophetic sequence and order the man of sin or The Bible says in verse 4 the one who is opposing and exalting himself above all that is called God So the spirit of antichrist precedes the man of antichrist and when people are already Exalting themselves above the knowledge of God. They don't even want God in their thinking Then my friends we're seeing the entrance of the spirit and the man of sin the antichrist now in verse 7 The Bible says and the mystery of iniquity does already work Only he who now let us will let until he be taken out of the way. Who is that? That's none other than the church When the church is raptured off of the earth that gathering together Then the man of sin will be revealed the only restraining power that is in this earth Is the holy spirit through believers called the church when the church disappears off of this earth and millions go missing It will be the answer for some That we've got everything under control now we can get our food resources and other Resources that are going to be readily available and there'll be more for us But the fact is jesus will have come Now why is this so important? Because we're seeing in the spirit of antichrist that is encroaching upon us today uh in the minds of people where Even in this crisis even in this virus and plague and stay home order We're seeing a mindset that is drifting away from god That is departing from the faith That some are doing whatever they want to do and the real test of faith is upon us right now The bible tells us very clearly from the book of revelation That when men this is a this is a Prophecy into the future during the time of the tribulation period When the plagues will be coming upon this earth and it says in chapter 16 verse 9 listen to this And men were scorched with great heat and they blasphemed the name of god who has power over these plagues And they did not repent and give him glory two things. I want to point out right here First of all god had power over the plagues Second of all in the middle of all of that chaos crisis All of that that is going to come during the tribulation period Men's hearts were not humbled. They did not repent Now in revelation 18 and verse number four there is a prophetic word for us today to heed though this comes During the time of the tribulation. I believe it's a word for us now and it says I heard another voice from heaven saying Come out of her my people lest you share in her sins lest you receive her plagues Now it's important to understand that the bible teaches us that god actually uses pestilence and plagues To judge the world and the nations he also uses them to warn and to shake his people To wake them up to help them to understand that it's time to draw our attention and draw near to god In this very critical hour Certainly the loving kindness of god is reaching out in our time And he's gracious to forgive us and to wash away our sins But it's more than just getting our sins forgiven ladies and gentlemen It's important in this hour that our faith doesn't fail in a time When everyone is looking for answers. This is a time to draw near to god nearer than when we first believe the bible says And you've heard me quote second chronicles seven Verses 13 and 14 That when pestilence and plagues come upon this earth If my people which are called by my name will humble themselves and pray seek my face turn From their wicked ways then i will hear you from heaven I will forgive your sins and i will heal your land This is a promise from god in the middle of this virus that is causing people to stay home I want to make it abundantly clear No, mr. Cuomo what you need to know sir is is that without god's help It would be far worse and he is staying the hand of this virus Many have already said that the curve has happened or that it's flattened out whatever that it is To not acknowledge god is to our own peril How important that it is that we seek god today and acknowledge him in all of our ways trust in the lord With all thine heart lean not to thine own understanding in all of thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path I want to close today's prophecy files with bringing you an excerpt from the last prophecy file message from last year That i preached from the pulpit of pace assembly in this message It really is challenging the hearts of people to humble ourself before god and seek his face and not be hard hearted In the time that we're in because in the book of romans hearts are Given over by god to their own Demise this is important for us to understand at this time when delusion is coming from every angle And we see the political darkness that is rising in the in this time that we're in right now that spirit of antichrist How important that it is that our priorities Are in line and not just going to church but to be the church And when and should the doors of the church be able to be opened in the days that are ahead and I expect it To not neglect The gathering together of the people of god don't let it be secondary don't let god be Underneath the Entertainment or the sports or whatever it may be this is a waking and a shaking that needs to take place I would encourage you to get this or go back and watch it on archives Because we speak about the lawlessness and the coming spirit of antichrist and how important that it is That we are to walk close to god in this hour I want to take you into the last portion of it and I pray that it will be a challenge to your heart To serve the lord in these last days Looking for the coming of the lord jesus christ And I remind you let's look for a spiritual awakening in this hour And also be reminded that jesus christ Is coming soon as he describes two churches He said one of them is going to say we just want your name jesus and we don't want anything else Thinking like this is some kind of olacarct gospel He said there's a second one That second one is going to see my glory you read on down there. I don't have time to preach it That second one is going to be a remnant church that second one means this he says He says when he says he says this is going to be a church full of my glory Do you know what this word glory means right here? It means to lay hold On by hand god said in the last days there's going to be a church That's going to be a reprobate church and then i'm going to have a remnant church over here That's going to lay hold of my glory and they're going to see signs wonders and miracles And ladies and gentlemen i'm not just predicted but i prophesy it happening right here in this house. Oh god show us your glory We need a great awakening prior to the civil war Prior to the civil war The second great awakening took place They had massive revivals in kentucky where thousands and tens of thousands were getting healed and saved and delivered A circuit riding preacher by the name of peter cart ride rode around and preached the gospel from his horse Most of you may not know if you go out on that heritage hall the very first man that is Oil painting out there brother mcgraw literally walked from alabama down to pastor this church in its early days To tell people about jesus christ in this community and that's the reason why pace assembly is sitting here today Y'all didn't hear what i said I said he walked he didn't have a horse He didn't have a cart he walked down here with a bible in a hand and some cheese in a bag and walked down here and said Thus sayeth the lord God give us preachers of the gospel today who are not looking for the paycheck But they're looking for the souls of men women boys and girls and then rose up What a dichotomy then rose up a man by the name of charles finney who stood in rochester new york imagine that rochester new york and preached For six months the gospel of jesus christ and tens of thousands of people got saved Preach for hours it turned this entire country around in the second grade awakening Sunday school In the second grade awakening. That's where it started Evangelistical outreaches and missionaries distributing bible it happened in the second grade awakening Are we going to have another great awakening? Oh pastor i sure hope so Well, it'll only happen if my people Who are called by my name Will hum themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways I preach for another hour But i'm on end right here Because this one took me to the moon Whenever i pulled this article up And started reading on it Now i'm gonna get myself in the position to shout Because i was reading this past week This is what they said the climate control folks got together and said 11 000 scientists got together and said The only way to fight climate change Is to reduce Gradually reduce the population of the earth They said we got too many people eating the food Too many people driving the cars too many people driving suv Too many people driving buses out there burning up everything putting emissions in the air That and it didn't take me long For me to find out exactly what they're saying they don't know they're saying it But because i know the bible I said because i know the bible are you sleeping on me Because i know the bible And because these 11 000 scientists think that they got the grand solution I came to tell you before they ever thought of it god already had a plan It's called the rapture of the church And it ain't gonna be gradual It's gonna be all the sudden And the lord shall descend from heaven with a shout Get on your feet if you're going up in the rapture It's god's solution to climate control
