Today in society, there is a spirit of entitlement, rebellion, godlessness, chaos, and wickedness. The church is being attacked not only by outside forces but also from within its own walls. Apostasy is abounding. Pastors who preach about prophecy that is in the Bible are labeled conspiracy theorists. They are mocked and scoffed at not only by outsiders but also by those who claim they are believers.
Prophecy is unfolding before our very eyes. This world is rapidly changing, and everything is being set up for the arrival of the antichrist. The only way you can escape all of this chaos and wrath to come is to put your trust in Jesus. He will equip you and guide you through these troubling times.
In Pastor Billy Crone's newest video at Olive Tree Ministries, he tells us what prophecy in the Bible is unfolding, what to expect, and how to be prepared. Jesus is returning. We do not know the day or hour, but everything is lining up with what the prophets spoke about in the Bible.
What are you chasing? Are you chasing after riches? Are you chasing after some woke notion? Or are you chasing after the One who created all things, including you?
Chasing after the things of this world will never bring you true happiness. Chasing after materialistic items on this earth will only bring you heartache and destruction. Even if you possess all the treasures on this earth, you will always be empty deep down inside your heart and soul. You will never have true happiness or peace.
In 1 John 2:15-17, we are told not to love this world because the things of this world will come to an end, and those who rebelled and turned away from God will face His wrath.
"Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever."
There is only one thing that can bring you true happiness and peace, and that is Jesus. He is our Redeemer. He is our Guide in this life and the answer to all of your problems. He is faithful and true. He gives you strength when you are weak. His love is everlasting. Chasing after Jesus will bring you peace and wisdom. The peace and contentment that Jesus gives will satisfy you just as it states in John 14:27
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."
Rest in the love of Christ. Lay all your worries and troubles into his hands.
Chase after Jesus! Reach out to him and say his name. For it is only He that can truly satisfy your heart and soul and bring you true peace.
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for you Son. Thank you for giving us a Redeemer and that he gives us true happiness and peace. Thank you for Your promises and for the freedom to come before You and seek You in times of trouble. Help us to stay on course. Help us to guide others to You. Help those who are blind to see the Truth, and help them to see that it is only You who can truly satisfy one's heart and soul and bring true peace.
I just discovered the other day an incredible, inspiring, and uplifting sermon by the late Dr. S. M. Lockeridge. Have you ever been or heard a sermon that sets your heart on fire and ablaze for the Lord Jesus? There are not too many pastors today that preach the Truth with boldness and conviction. Who exult and herald our Lord Jesus Christ. Today many pastors have gone woke, and they preach false doctrine that leads people astray. They preach words to tickle the ears of their congregants. The Truth and sound doctrine are far from their lips.
The late Dr. S. M. Lockeridge preached "That's My King" in Detroit in 1976. He was the Pastor at Calvary Baptist Church, in San Diego, California, from 1953 to 1993. He was a world-renowned pastor. He preached the Truth boldly. He did not stray from God's Holy Word and he gave God all the glory.
A section of Dr. S. M. Lockeridge's inspiring sermon can be viewed below, and you can watch his entire sermon in the video below.

We ask this in Jesus' precious name. Amen.
Many Christians believe we are living in the end times. Present-day events are happening in overdrive. Scripture is unfolding before our very eyes indicating, that we are living in the last days.
In the book of Ezekiel, chapter 38, a prophecy is proclaimed against Gog. Gog and many forces come up against Israel and the God of Israel. However, there are protestors Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and their Young Lions. These protestors seem distraught over the invasion of Israel.
The word of the LORD came to me: 2“Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshecha and Tubal, and prophesy against him 3and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshechb and Tubal. 4And I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great host, all of them with buckler and shield, wielding swords. 5Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6Gomer and all his hordes; Beth-togarmah from the uttermost parts of the north with all his hordes—many peoples are with you.
7“Be ready and keep ready, you and all your hosts that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them. 8After many days you will be mustered. In the latter years you will go against the land that is restored from war, the land whose people were gathered from many peoples upon the mountains of Israel, which had been a continual waste. Its people were brought out from the peoples and now dwell securely, all of them. 9You will advance, coming on like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your hordes, and many peoples with you.
10“Thus says the Lord GOD: On that day, thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil scheme 11and say, ‘I will go up against the land of unwalled villages. I will fall upon the quiet people who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having no bars or gates,’ 12to seize spoil and carry off plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and the people who were gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell at the center of the earth. 13Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all its leadersc will say to you, ‘Have you come to seize spoil? Have you assembled your hosts to carry off plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to seize great spoil?’
14“Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord GOD: On that day when my people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not know it? 15You will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great host, a mighty army. 16You will come up against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land. In the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.
17“Thus says the Lord GOD: Are you he of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who in those days prophesied for years that I would bring you against them? 18But on that day, the day that Gog shall come against the land of Israel, declares the Lord GOD, my wrath will be roused in my anger. 19For in my jealousy and in my blazing wrath I declare, On that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. 20The fish of the sea and the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the people who are on the face of the earth, shall quake at my presence. And the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every wall shall tumble to the ground. 21I will summon a sword against Gogd on all my mountains, declares the Lord GOD. Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22With pestilence and bloodshed I will enter into judgment with him, and I will rain upon him and his hordes and the many peoples who are with him torrential rains and hailstones, fire and sulfur. 23So I will show my greatness and my holiness and make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
So if the protestors are so concerned about protecting Israel, why do they stand idly by? In this video Pastor, Brandon Holthaus, from Rock Harbor Church, discusses Ezekiel chapter 38 and the young lions of Tarshish (nations) and why they stand idly by and let Gog of Magog and other nations' invade Israel. He discusses who the young lions of Tarshish could possibly be and why they would let this invasion happen and not come to Israel's aid.
Heavenly Father,
You are the rock in whom Your people can take refuge in! You are our everlasting shield and the horn of our salvation. We thank You for being our stronghold, our refuge, and our Savior. Help protect Your people from the violent people who would cause them great harm. Uplift them and bless them in all areas of their life. We praise You and give You the glory and honor in all things.
Can the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Credit Score System be the wireframe for the upcoming antichrist system that will be used and implemented to monitor and control everyone? Many businesses and companies already use ESG to screen investments. The CCP already has a Social Credit Score system in place that surveils citizens. It gives them a "score" that restricts or allows their people to purchase or sell. So it could be very possible that the ESG system or CCP's system is the precursor to the antichrist's system that will be implemented worldwide. Revelation 13:17 states how the antichrist's system will not allow people to buy or sell without the mark of 666.
"And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name." Revelation 13:17
In this video, Pastor Brandon Holthaus, from Rock Harbor Church, describes in detail of the coming Social Credit rating about to unfold upon the world and how everything is lining up for the coming Babylonian system to be used by the antichrist.
There are many Christians who refuse to acknowledge that Biblical prophecy has been unfolding before our very eyes. Since the onslaught of COVID, it has been unfolding at an amazing pace. They either haven't read the book of Revelation, Daniel, or Ezekiel to see the Truth, or they refuse to believe God's plan is unfolding. Prophecy is coming true. Many think that all of this is just conspiracy theories. Their eyes are blinded to the Truth. Much like how God hardened the king of Egypt's heart in Exodus, so God has blinded those today from seeing the Truth. One day soon, the veil will be lifted from their eyes. Churches and Christians who have gone woke will one day wake up and see the Truth.
The Truth that is unveiling before our eyes has been a plan in progress since the beginning of time. It is God's plan. He is the one in control. We Christians need to keep our focus on Him, stay watchful, and share the Truth with others. The glorious hope to cling on to during these uncertain times is that we know our Lord and Savior comes back in the end to stop this corrupt evil system that is quickly taking hold of the whole world just as it is foretold in Revelation 19:11-16.
11 Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True, for he judges fairly and wages a righteous war. 12 His eyes were like flames of fire, and on his head were many crowns. A name was written on him that no one understood except himself. 13 He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of pure white linen, followed him on white horses. 15 From his mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He will release the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, like juice flowing from a winepress. 16 On his robe at his thigh was written this title: King of all kings and Lord of all lords. Revelation 19:11-16
Heavenly Father,
You are our Rock, our Salvation and our only Hope. We know that You are in control of all things and Your return gives us hope in these uncertain times. We ask that You would open eyes to the Truth. Unveil the shroud that covers the eyes of the woke churches and those who refuse to believe that Your plan is unfolding. We ask that you would give us courage and help us to remain strong in our faith as we face uncertain times ahead.
We ask this in Jesus name.
Amen.
Pray you all have a blessed week!
May the Lord protect and guide you in all that you do.
Are AI's, Artificial Intelligence, setting up the stage for the antichrist to monitor and control the world?
Many might think this is a conspiracy theory. But today, I am sharing a video from Olive Tree Ministries with guest speaker Pastor Billy Chrone, in which he talks about how AI could possibly be the weapon of the antichrist to monitor and control the world. Already, AI is being employed by various countries in their weapon systems, surveillance, and defense. Eventually, AI-powered autonomous trucks will soon replace delivery drivers and all types of workers in the work field will be replaced by AI, such as medical doctors, police, and so on. There has even been an AI church that worshipped the AI as their God. And, just ask Alexa, from Amazon, who is Jesus, and it will tell you a fictional character.
This video is to inform you and prepare you that the return of Christ is close at hand. The King of Kings will be returning, yet we know not the day or hour. Everything is falling into place as God's plan unfolds. The book of Revelation informs us what to expect in the coming days ahead as the enemy prepares the revealing of the antichrist. The stage is being set.
Despite the enemy's plans, it is a time to be excited for our Lord will soon be returning, but also a time to remain faithful and patient. As it states in Colossians 1:11, we will be strengthened by Christ. He is our Redeemer and He will save us from the wrath of God that is coming upon this world.
"We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy,"
Colossians 1:11 (NLT)
There are still many souls out there who don't know Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Many of these souls are filled with fear, emptiness, or hatred. Their hearts have become like stone. Please lift these people up in prayer.
Heavenly Father,
You are omnipotent, sovereign and in control. I lift up in prayer those who do not know You. I pray that you would soften their hearts, open their eyes to the truth, and flood their hearts with joy and a supernatural peace. I pray that they would repent and seek forgiveness of their sins. Also, I pray for all brothers and sisters in Christ that You would give them strength, faith, patience and courage to endure the troubled times ahead.
In Part 2 of Truth Talk USA's interview podcast with Christian author David Fiorazo, the discussion continues on about the consequences of Christians being silent on issues of immorality and lawlessness.
One of those issues is our education system. Our education system once allowed prayer, Bibles, and the teaching of divine creation, but now all of it is banned. No resistance. No voice from the church to stop such evil. Just silence.
Now our education system is under attack by evil radical leftists. Satan is using them to destroy our educational system and anything that pertains to God. Rejection of God is loud and clear within the inner classrooms. CRT indoctrination is being forced upon our younger generation, and teachers and school board members try to stifle any student or parent voices that may have a difference of opinion. As a result of this CRT indoctrination, hate and division are being taught within our schools.
It is clear the rejection of God and eliminating God from our schools has now lead this nation into chaos and unrest. As it states in Romans 1:28-32 because the people reject God, he gave them up to their debased minds, and as a result, we now see that evil has been injected into our educational system and our society as a whole.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
And at this very moment during these dark tumultuous times, many churches have empty pews. Some churches doors are permanently closed. Some churches have had to go underground in Canada and other countries because the enemy is on a full-frontal attack against Christians.
Many Christians have let the enemy crush their hope in the Word and in Christ. Wake up! Do not let the enemy win. We are not called to be silent, but we are called to be a voice in the wilderness and to help lead others to Christ. Even during times of oppression, Paul continued to share the hope of Christ with others. In Acts 16:25, Paul and Silas have been imprisoned, and yet they remain faithful and obedient.
25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,
We are told in the Word to place God first, not man, even if that means persecution. The Word tells us in Colossians 1:10 to live in a Christ-like manner and that we are to bear fruit to help overcome evil with good.
10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
An evil versus good war is going on, a spiritual war that is trying to take the church down and her followers. The war is thick with a fog of dark culture and ideology that is trying to immobilize us, but the light of Christ penetrates the darkness. We know the end of the story. Satan lost when Jesus was victorious at the cross. Satan is just scrambling to take down as many men, women, and children as he can before Christ returns. Our most valuable weapons during these times are the Word of God and prayer. We must don our armor, prepare for battle, and not let the enemy silence us.
