Starting point is 00:00:00 The following program is made possible by the faithful prayers and financial support of listeners just like you. To find out how you can help, visit nothing but the truth, so help us God. I'm Rick Wiles. The world was plunged into a man-made plague in early 2020. The response to coronavirus changed the world. The Great Reset was thrust upon humanity without our permission. Monkeypox is now circulating in many countries. It could be the next pandemic. A bird flu is also circulating in the USA and other countries. World War III has started in Ukraine. Russian officials boldly warned Western countries that Moscow will not hesitate to use its fearsome nuclear arsenal on NATO allies
Starting point is 00:01:12 if the defense alliance does not back off. A billion people could die within hours. Europe is bracing for LNG gas rationing very soon as Russia cuts off supplies of natural gas to the EU countries. Food shortages are appearing in many countries. Some nations are experiencing civil unrest because of the food shortages and sky-high energy prices. Where is this leading the world? Personally, I believe we are much farther along in Holy Bible prophecies than most Christians want to consider. I want Dr. Burkhart to read from the sixth chapter of the apocalypse, the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Beginning with verse one, and I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat on him had a bow, and a crown was given unto him. And he went forth conquering and to conquer. And when he had opened the second seal,
Starting point is 00:02:23 I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red and power was given to him that sat there on to take peace from the earth and that they should kill one another. And there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, come and see. And I beheld and lo, a black horse. and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny, and see thou heard not the oil and the wine. When he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold, a pale horse.
Starting point is 00:03:09 And his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Doc, that's starting to read like today. I know, isn't it? It is. And yet few Christians are talking about this chapter of the book of the Revelation. It's barely mentioned, and yet we're seeing these things play out in real time.
Starting point is 00:03:51 I just felt today, felt the Holy Spirit nudging me today to put away the news. Let's just talk about these things right now. I'm not going to do an in-depth study about the four horses, the four horsemen. We could do an entire program about that. But what I want you to see is what is taking place. A measure of wheat for a penny. Yes. Let's put this back up on the screen.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Let's read it again. The next phrase, please. There you go. A measure of wheat for a penny and three measures of barley for a penny. And see, thou hurt not the oil and the wine. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard a voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I believe that come and see is spoken to the
Starting point is 00:04:52 horsemen. They're being invited, come and look. Look at what you're going to do. And I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And his name that sat on him was Death. And Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth. That's one-fourth of the planet. If we divide that by the population, this month we're told that the Earth's population will reach 8 billion. Right. We're going to cross that threshold very soon.
Starting point is 00:05:33 One-fourth of 8 billion. Two billion people. So are we about to see 2 billion people die in a war between Russia and the United States? I mean, it's very possible Rick. I mean you know our generation has not encountered the horrors of war really. I mean we really haven't. We haven't experienced it. Your parents, my parents, they had some glimpses of it. Even you and I, we didn't really experience the Gulf War. We watched it on TV, right? And there was really no impact here at home. But we're in World War III now.
Starting point is 00:06:11 That's right. And if we look at the third beast here, and the Black Horse, you know, and the economic warfare that's going on in the world around us, that's the prelude to the final conflict. So like Rick said, we're not going to do an in-depth study of Revelation 6 today. That's for another time. But what we do want to tell you is that most Christians out there have no concept
Starting point is 00:06:39 of the complete horror that we're going to be going into as we approach the final moments of time. Because they've been taught that they won't experience any of this. They won't experience any of it. They have been taught that they're going to be removed by the great secret rapture and they will be taken away and they will not experience any of these horrors that are going to come upon the earth. I don't believe that. So why study about it? It doesn't impact you. Why have prophecy conferences? Good point, Doc. Why are people fascinated with Bible prophecy? About what happens after the rapture if there's a rapture.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Save your money and your time and don't worry about it. Because according to their doctrine, we won't be here. Now, I have a completely different viewpoint about it. I wrote about it in this book, Final Day, and I encourage you to get a copy. This absolutely will change your thinking about the second coming of Jesus Christ. It's the ten characteristics of the second coming of Jesus Christ. I am not a dispensationalist.
Starting point is 00:07:46 I am not a Zionist. I am not a rapturous. I'm not a premillennialist. I'm not any of those. What am I? Am I an old-time traditional Christian. I believe what Christians believed before the days of John Nelson Darby and Cyrus Schofield,
Starting point is 00:08:12 those two men, they were common. They changed Western Christianity, particularly here in the United States, not so much the other parts of the world, but right here in the United States of America. That's where the impact has been felt. And evangelical Christians in America have been
Starting point is 00:08:31 brainwashed. It is a brainwashing. It is a cult-like doctrine. And now we're running right up to the edge. And these things that the Bible tells us are going to happen are starting to happen. And you can't get Christians to even, I mean, forget about the world. You can't get Christians to even take it seriously. That's right. Hunger, death, the sword, war.
Starting point is 00:09:03 And you tell Christians, hey, Russia is telling us every week they're going to nuke us and and it's like their eyes are glazed over they don't hear you they don't want to be bothered with it and and it just goes right over their head and it's the most it's the strangest thing i've ever witnessed in my life that we're this close to nuclear war, and nobody is taking it seriously. We have hunger now. We have food shortages. In America, grocery stores have empty shelves. I had never thought I would see this in America. But it's here, Doc.
Starting point is 00:09:50 And now we've been relaying to the true news audience what is coming down the road very quickly with energy. Right. And that Europe is going to be in a very severe state this fall and winter. You have major banks saying people are going to have to chop wood and burn wood to stay warm this winter when your bankers telling you to chop wood your banker that's that's because they know that there's no solution they're telling people in Europe you're going to have to go without hot water, no showers, no hot showers. Factories are going to have to close.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Which means layoffs between people without income, which puts added pressure. They're going to have civil unrest at some point. It's staring at us right now, and very few people are taking this seriously. know some of you are i know some of you are some of you are not you like you like doom porn you get a you get a buzz off of this stuff and then you switch to another news program and you get another buzz and you just you're jacked up on conspiracy caffeine and you you understand what i'm saying yeah i'm i'm saying preach it yeah they're jacked up on conspiracy caffeine and they're not uh they're not uh in their right mind you. You become a news addict, a news junkie. And the news is telling you nuclear war, energy shortage, food shortages. And you're so jacked up on this news caffeine
Starting point is 00:11:39 that you're unable to process it and function. All you want is to get more of it. Yes. And you're not dealing with reality. But some of you are. And I guess I'm talking to that group. There's no point to even talk to the rest of the people that aren't going to do anything. What we want to talk to today
Starting point is 00:12:04 are the people who are hearing the Holy Spirit telling them, yes, things are about to become very dire and bleak in the world. And the world is going to go through a dark, dark phase. Now, that's the scary part. The good part is we have a god who happens to be our heavenly father he's our papa i call him papa and he will take care of us he will get us through he will guard us he will protect us He's going to get us through these times because He has a church, a remnant church that He needs.
Starting point is 00:12:49 He needs a remnant church on this earth to be a witness for His Son. And those who are sold out to His Son, Jesus Christ, and will go through anything, He'll march through fire for Jesus Christ. That's the group He's going to take care of. I'll be honest with you. There's going to be collateral damage because there's no desire for Christ. It's just lip service to God. I'm a Christian, but there's no desire, no commitment.
Starting point is 00:13:20 You're not sold out to Jesus Christ. You may have some loss in this storm that's coming. But the soldiers, the ones who are sold out, the ones who would do anything that Christ asked them to do, God is going to get them through this storm because he needs you. You're his best troops. You're the best soldiers he's got. And he's going to get you through the storm. You're his best troops. You're the best soldiers he's got. And he's going to get you through the storm. You're his commandos.
Starting point is 00:13:49 And so Doc and I, we're going to talk today about miraculous supply. You know, I started a couple days ago talking again about miracle money. And we're getting different responses as we expected. Some people are already getting, they've already received their miracle money. It's amazing how fast this has happened.
Starting point is 00:14:12 I'm going to, in a few minutes, tell you some of those true stories that have happened just today. Others are kind of scratching their heads, saying, I don't know what to do with this. A few are mocking us and this is the our audience from our audience mocking us, laughing about it, poking fun at it. That's expected. It's a religious spirit. And whenever people with religious spirits get challenged
Starting point is 00:14:41 with faith the only thing they know what to do is to throw religious accusations against the person who's speaking faith. They want to shut down that person because they don't want to hear faith. But that's okay. We're just going to keep talking to those who want to hear the Word of God and how we are to get through these times. The reason, three reasons that I have once again brought up miracle money. Number one, a lot of you need miracle money right now.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Yes. You need it. Expenses have gone up. You're trying to figure out how to fill your gas tank. You're trying to figure out how to get groceries. Those of you who are praying about bolstering, you're saying, hey, I hear what you and Doc are saying about building up your food supply and getting ready. I don't have the extra money.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Well, God's trying to give miracle money to you. He gives seed to the sower. So number one is that you need money. Number two, we need money. So that's the reason for this unusual proposal of splitting 50-50, the miracle money that God sends to you. Number three, this is a faith lesson. This is an exercise to build your faith muscles. This is a way for you to see God in action very quickly in your life where you realize that was
Starting point is 00:16:28 God. I made this faith pledge and I made a vow and the money came. I found the money, money arrived, that was God. And it builds your faith. It makes you trust God. And so these are the reasons that I'm doing this, because we're about to go into a season where the whole world will be turned upside down. And only those who trust God are going to go through it without their clothes burned. They'll come out, they'll go through the fire, like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, they'll come out of the fire, and they won't have any smoke on them.
Starting point is 00:17:13 That's what God wants to do for you. And so if you're interested, then I'm hoping that you'll listen and take this faith challenge. A lot of others are just going to fall by the wayside. Right. We just have to talk to the people who want to hear the word of the Lord. The season is far past the time for me to just talk about news.
Starting point is 00:17:46 We're way past it now. And this thing is so, this has become so dark that there are days I'm like, I don't even want to talk about this stuff anymore. The only thing I want to do is help people get closer to Jesus Christ. That's it. And you're going to see that in the coming months. You're going to know why I'm saying that, because the change in the world, it's going to come in like a very strong hurricane.
Starting point is 00:18:18 The world is going to change later this fall, and you've got to be ready for it. So, I want to put up on the screen Psalm 91. Just the first two verses. And very familiar passage to many of you out there. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress. My God, in Him will I trust. The first two sentences to Psalm 91. He
Starting point is 00:18:55 that dwells, that means lives, resides in the secret place of the Most High. The Most High being Almighty God. Almighty God has a secret place, Doc. Yes. Your Heavenly Father has a secret place.
Starting point is 00:19:20 And He's got a place where you can dwell, where you can abide, where you can rest, where you can live in. And that's what that means. Dwell, live, reside. And then it says abide. It means to be seated. Make yourself at home. Make yourself at home.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Be seated and be secure. It's a secure place to be seated, to rest. He, let's put it back up one more time. He that lives in the secret place of Almighty God shall sit and rest. Yes. Where? Under the shadow of Almighty God. That means you're right there by Him.
Starting point is 00:20:08 He cast a shadow on you. Who's big enough to get close to God that you're up to His shadow? Which enemy of the church of God is willing to get that close to the Almighty, that you're up to His shadow? Doc, when you're in the shadow of the Almighty, nobody's going to come near you. You don't have to fight them all. Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:34 He does. Yeah, because just that shadow alone provides that refuge and fortress that God provides. Just being in the shadow provides that, right? Just being there. Just being in the shadow provides that, Rick. That's right. Just being there. Just being in the shadow is your refuge in your fortress.
Starting point is 00:20:51 Well, I'm curious, Rick, how many in our audience watching today, just those that are watching today, really abide in that shadow place, that secret place? I don't know. That's what I'm trying to encourage people. You have to get there. Being filled with
Starting point is 00:21:12 news and current events and talk shows and videos will not get you there. It's the absence of that that will get you there you have to turn it off you have to turn it off you have to you have to spend time
Starting point is 00:21:32 with the father alone, quiet you have to seek him this weekend I strongly recommend that you set aside, set aside time to be alone with God.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Find that secret place. Find the secret place. Find that place where it's just you and Him. No cell phone. No computer. No distractions. Just you and the Father. And get into His Word and let the Holy Spirit guide you.
Starting point is 00:22:11 And just talk to your Father. If you learn to talk to, like I don't call Him God. I know a lot of people, when I was first saved, He was God. And He was God for many years, Doc, in my life. That's when i was first saved he was god and he was god for many years doc in my life right that's who he was god okay i prayed to god i talked to god then later he became heavenly father yes but in recent years he's become papa. Because you've moved closer to that shadow. Yes. And I have felt his embrace.
Starting point is 00:22:51 And I hear his voice calling me. And I have dreams about him at night. And he talks to me. And he's starting to invite me to come home. He's my Papa. And I love him dearly. And I want you to get to invite me to come home. He's my papa, and I love him dearly, and I want you to get to know him as your papa. God is what he does for a living,
Starting point is 00:23:12 and I'm not being irreverent, I'm not being disrespectful, but God is his title. You know, if he had a business card, it would say Yahweh, and his job title would be God. Okay. I mean, did you call your earthly father top male patriarch of the family? Or did you call him the chief postal inspector of your local town?
Starting point is 00:23:44 Yes. If he happened to be, that was his job. Yeah, the postmaster. Right. God, that's his job. He keeps the universe running. No, you called him dad or pops. Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:56 There was that informal. You didn't even say, oh, father, I approach you and I beseech you, father, for a gift from you. No, you say, hey, Dad, can I borrow some money? That was the relationship. Yes. And what did Jesus say to the disciples? He said, until now, you've not said this, but now you can approach him and call him Abba.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Yes. Which is Aramaic for daddy. Yes. That's what Jesus said. Like a small child would say. Abba is Aramaic for daddy. Baba is Arabic for daddy, for papa. And Jesus said that's what he wants you to call him.
Starting point is 00:24:50 He doesn't want us to have all this religious ease. Oh mighty God, if thou would hear me. You don't talk to your parents that way. Talk to your papa like he's your Papa. And he loves you dearly. And he desires that you get closer to him. And that's why with this little miracle money exercise.
Starting point is 00:25:21 This is an exercise in developing your faith. Some of you have never seen God do something for you. You believe He made the universe. You believe He parted the Red Sea. You believe the Bible. You believe the Bible, but you've never seen God do something for you. Right. Especially something little. And when I say little, I mean, you know, a hundred dollar bill appearing out of nowhere. Okay. That's a, that's a small thing compared to, um, you know, healing somebody of cancer or something like that.
Starting point is 00:26:00 A lot of you have never, you've just never experienced it, and I want you to experience that fun of your father doing something for you like this. I've had miracle money appear in my life at times when I needed miracle money. God doesn't want us to be in a state that that's the only way we can get through life. You know, and I know people that live in that state, that they're they're they're Christians. They love the Lord, but they're always in a state that that if if there isn't a miracle today, they don't know how they're paying their electric bill. They don't know how they're they're keeping the water from being turned off. They don't know. They're just constantly living from being turned off. They don't know. They're just constantly living in that.
Starting point is 00:26:48 That's not where God wants us to be. But he does want us to be in that state where we expect that he can do even the smallest things for us. Right. Because it's the relationship that he desires. It's the friendship. It's the intimacy that he's desiring. And our audience needs to understand,
Starting point is 00:27:10 God is more concerned about your faith than he is your money. Yeah. He's more concerned about that. Why is that, Doc? Because faith is required to please God. Hebrews 11, 6 tells us that the only way we can please God is by faith. It's the only way. You want to put a smile on God's face?
Starting point is 00:27:30 You operate in faith. You believe his promises. Let's read it. So Hebrews 11, 6. Without faith, but without faith, it is impossible to please him. For he that cometh to God must believe that he is, that's the first instruction, and that he is a rewarder of them
Starting point is 00:27:49 that diligently seek him. There's a lot of you out there that believe God is, that he's out there, that he's done something, but you don't believe that he will reward you. You don't believe it.
Starting point is 00:28:03 You don't believe that he will reward you because you've never asked him to reward you. You don't believe it. You don't believe that He will reward you because you've never asked Him to reward you. Believe that He is. They didn't finish that sentence. Believe He is what? That He is. That He is I am.
Starting point is 00:28:18 He is I am. I think it's the coolest statement in the Bible. Who are you? I am. I am. I am what? I am. I am. I am what? I am everything you need. Who shall I say, tell them that sent me?
Starting point is 00:28:32 Tell them I am sent you. It's a cool statement. I be. It is. It's awesome. It's an awesome. He's my daddy. That's my daddy that said I am.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Now, you know, kids like to brag about their father. Now, there's a statement that you can brag about your dad. Hey, my dad, he said, I am. Your dad is what? He is. He is. And has been and will be. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:03 I am. That's your papa. And he wants you to have that awe about him. He wants you to brag to people and say, my daddy says, I am. Because until you come into the church, you're still living with an imposter father. The devil is an imposter father. Right. The devil is an imposter father. And if you have not been baptized into the church of Jesus Christ, you are living with an imposter father, the devil.
Starting point is 00:29:38 And God, the true father, wants you to come into his household and to love him and to get to know him. Look, he knows so much about you. He knows the color of your eyes. He knows your favorite music. He knows what you like to do. He knows what makes you happy. He knows everything about you. He even knows how many hairs are in your head. He knows what makes you happy. He knows everything about you. He even knows
Starting point is 00:30:05 how many hairs are in your head. He knows everything. That's a father. That's a good father. In Hebrews 11, it says, without faith, if there's no faith present, you can absolutely not please God. That right there impacts, I don't even know what percentage of the Christian church. Because, Doc, they get saved. They have enough faith to get saved. But they go through the rest of their life without exercising faith. Therefore, they don't please God. I mean, don't you want your God to be a happy God?
Starting point is 00:30:52 I sure do. I want my papa to be happy. I want my heavenly father to be happy. I want my I am to be happy. How do I put a smile? How do I put a grin on my heavenly father's face? Why does faith make God happy? Why does faith make our Heavenly Father happy?
Starting point is 00:31:11 My view is because it is evidence that we believe Him. Yes. We believe Him. Faith is the substance. Of things hoped for. Yes. The assurance, as we were talking about the other day. The assurance.
Starting point is 00:31:28 It is the assurance that what you're asking for has already been done for you. Right. You know, generally, Rick, when we talk about this particular topic, this topic of faith, especially when it comes to talking about miracle money, you get one of three reactions. If the Holy Spirit is speaking to people, they grab hold of that message and they hold on to it and they follow through with it.
Starting point is 00:31:57 And they're looking around. They're looking on the ground for a $20 bill. They're reaching in their pockets saying, is there anything in here? They're reaching in their pockets saying, is there anything in here? They're searching, they're watching, they're looking around in their environment for the provision. They're waiting to go to the mailbox every day thinking there could be a check in there today,
Starting point is 00:32:18 that could be the miracle money. Because it's an air of expectancy. Then you have another group of people that are kind of like, well, you know, God won't do that for me. That's the second part of Hebrews 11, 6. You know, that you must believe that he is and that he's a rewarder of those that diligently seek him. There's a lot of people that are watching today. They'll say, yeah, God will do that for somebody else, but he won't do it for me.
Starting point is 00:32:42 That's because you're not diligently seeking him. Right. Then you have the third group that's out there. The third group that anytime you talk about operating in the atmosphere of faith, the devils in them rise up and they fight the message. That's the religious spirit. And they fight the message. And it goes right back to the very beginning.
Starting point is 00:33:03 By faith, it's impossible to please Him. You don't believe that. Those people in that category, that third category, don't believe the very first part of Hebrews 11, 6. That by faith, it's impossible to please Him. You think it's what you do that pleases God. It's never been about what you do, but what you believe about God.
Starting point is 00:33:23 That's at the heart of it. And for those with that religious spirit, they believe it about what you do, but what you believe about God. That's right. That's at the heart of it. And for those with that religious spirit, they believe it's what they do, the things they say, the actions that they go about. Therefore, if God does something for you over here, well, you know, that's just religious hokum. You don't believe. And therefore, since you don't have faith, you know God isn't pleased with you. And then you fight that. That's right. And those are the three categories of people that are watching and listening, how they respond. And you're watching right now. All three are watching right now. Because I get the reports when I'm done here. Our staff tells me about the comments that are coming in on the program. And all three of those categories are present.
Starting point is 00:34:11 And we're already getting that kind of reaction. Some are excited. Some have already received their miracle money. Others are looking for it. Others are like, oh, well, I might try it, but I'm not really expecting anything to happen. And then the others are saying, this is the biggest joke I've ever heard. So of those three groups, who do you think is the biggest group in there? That middle group, that second group, maybe?
Starting point is 00:34:36 You mean in numbers? Yeah, I mean, if we were just to do a general survey. It's probably the middle group. So what if we could move a few of those in the middle group to the rewarder group? GENERAL SURVEY. IT'S PROBABLY THE MIDDLE GROUP. SO WHAT IF WE COULD MOVE A FEW OF THOSE IN THE MIDDLE GROUP TO THE REWARDER GROUP? THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO. THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO.
Starting point is 00:34:51 I WANT THEM TO LEARN TO TRUST GOD. AND THERE'S SO MANY OF YOU OUT THERE THAT BELIEVE THAT GOD IS, BUT YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TOLD HE LOVES YOU AND WANTS TO REWARD YOU. YES.
Starting point is 00:35:01 BUT HE HAS PRINCIPLES THAT WE HAVE TO OPERATE IN IN ORDER FOR OUR FAITH TO BE ACTIVATED. you. But He has principles that we have to operate in in order for our faith to be activated. It requires us to do something. To obey what God's instructions are. Doc, we've all been in situations and it doesn't mean just financial. We've all been in situations where we desperately need a God to do something and we approached God with crying and tears
Starting point is 00:35:31 and pleading and just everything you can imagine. Trying to move God that he would feel sorry for us. That's really at the heart of it. If I cry enough, if I scream enough, if I threaten, whatever we're saying to God, he'll feel sorry for us.
Starting point is 00:36:00 And out of pity, he'll answer our prayers. There's not one place in the bible that says he does that no he says if you operate in the realm of faith if you believe me god is just looking for somebody to take him at his word somebody to actually say believe me yes that's all he's looking for he's looking for you to say lord Lord, this flesh can't comprehend it. This flesh is actually fighting it. But you can say to your heavenly Papa, I want to believe this. I want to believe that you are a rewarder. And your word says you're a rewarder. Lord, will you reward me?
Starting point is 00:36:42 And that's an honest approach. The Bible even tells us that he'll give us the gift of faith if we ask for it, the gift of faith. So there are times where you don't even have faith and you can just say to your heavenly father, Lord, give me the faith to believe. Yes. So what we're trying to do is get you into a place where in the hard times that are coming,
Starting point is 00:37:05 even if everything stopped in Ukraine today, let's say suddenly they said, peace. All right, we're done. We're fighting. No fighting in Ukraine. You know, and things are calmed down. There's no threat of war. There's still going to be a crisis this fall and winter because dominoes had started tipping already. It's too late to fix it. It's too late to fix it.
Starting point is 00:37:25 It's too late to change. We're not going to have suddenly natural gas refineries just popping up out of the soil. We saw an article today about the Freeport Refinery down in Houston. I didn't realize that it impacted 6% of all the natural gas supply in North America. That's going to impact us. That's a very real impact.
Starting point is 00:37:48 And that article said, because of Freeport, Texas, because of the incident that happened there, there's no way that the U.S. is going to ramp up LNG production and ship more to Europe. Right. Even though the politicians are talking about America will replace Russia's gas. So what he's saying is
Starting point is 00:38:09 stuff is already underway. And Revelation 6 is going to come true regardless of whether this war with Ukraine and Russia is the catalyst for that war. Mankind is on a collision course. Absolutely on a collision course because man is in rebellion against God. But in the meantime God's trying to get help to His saints, to the
Starting point is 00:38:39 remnant because He knows what's coming. Jesus said tribulation will become so great that God the Father will have to shorten the days. Or else all flesh would be lost. Nothing would survive. So that's what's up ahead. But Jesus also said, he who endures to the end shall be saved. Which means there's something to endure. Yes means there's something to endure. Yes, there's something to endure, but praise God.
Starting point is 00:39:08 There's an end. There's an end, and there's somebody who makes it to the end. Yes. And I want to be in that crowd. And I believe many of you want to be in that crowd too, that you have what it takes to stay with the program and go all the way through. Whatever comes to this earth, you're going to go all the way through carrying the banner of Christ. Lately for me, the cry of John the Baptist has really been in my soul.
Starting point is 00:39:40 That John the Baptist was sent to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. Not all people. But a people. A people. A particular people. Which means that there are some that are left out. He was to make them ready to what? Be made ready for what?
Starting point is 00:39:59 To be prepared for the Lord. They had to be made ready to be prepared. You see? They had to be made ready to be prepared. You see? They had to be made ready to be prepared for the first advent of Christ. Now I believe the Holy Spirit is raising up a multitude of preachers, not just me, multitudes of preachers in every country to make ready a people prepared for the second return of Jesus Christ, the second advent of Jesus Christ. So that's why this ministry is changing. We're pushing away from just daily news reporting and analysis and telling you how bleak it is. And we're going towards making people ready, making them ready to be prepared for the second coming of Jesus Christ. And some of you will drop off.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Some of you will say, Rick, I'm out of here. I'm going to go find another newscaster and give me the conspiracy caffeine that my body needs. But praise God, there'll be other people who will take your place who have never heard of me. And they'll come. The Holy Spirit will bring them in and they'll join those who are remaining with us. So I don't worry about it. Don't think about it. I don't care about it. My't think about it. I don't care about it. My job is to make ready a people prepared for the coming of the Lord.
Starting point is 00:41:30 And that's what we're doing right now. One thing, you know, King David said about God's people, about the righteous. And this is in Psalm 37, verse 35. He said, I've been young and I'm now old. Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. David said, I've never seen righteous people forsaken by God. I've never seen the saints of God out on the street begging for food. Now, it's interesting that this is, you know, that this particular verse, if we could put that back up on the screen,
Starting point is 00:42:12 it talks about, first of all, about the righteous, that they have not been abandoned, that they have not been left out, that God hasn't forgotten them. God has never forgotten the righteous. God remembers the righteous. But it's interesting that in the last verse there, it talks about the basic needs. Bread is the most basic of foods, has been for 6,000 years now.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Every culture has some kind of bread of some kind. It's a basic staple of humanity. The question is, and so that's the basic of everything, basic of life for so many people, so many cultures. The question is, are you his seed? Are you his seed? Are you righteous? Are you his seed? Do you abide in that righteousness? Do you abide in being a seed? Do you have his DNA? Yes.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Are you an offspring of Almighty God? And if you are, you will not be forsaken, and you will not beg for bread. So I ask you, are you righteous? You can be made righteous right now by confessing Jesus Christ as Lord. But I'll go a step further. Are you seed?
Starting point is 00:43:30 Because seed has an expectation of what, Rick? Reproducing. Reproduction, yes. Fruit, 30-fold, 60-fold, 100-fold. And in the parable of the sower, you and I are the seed. It's not the word of God. It's you and I with the word of God in us.
Starting point is 00:43:50 The word of God in us, the condition of our heart, the soil of our soul determines the productivity that we give the king, 30-fold, 60-fold, 100-fold. He sows us into his field, the world, for what purpose? To produce a harvest for him. It's you and me that he sows. Yes.
Starting point is 00:44:19 Because the word is in us, but it's our responsibility to do something with the word. You know, Rick, this is such a principle. The seed doesn't look anything like the harvest. No. The seed looks nothing like the harvest. You take a kernel of corn, just one kernel of corn. It looks nothing like a corn plant. I mean, there's kernels on a corn plant,
Starting point is 00:44:47 but that little seed doesn't look anything. It's not green. It doesn't have a stalk on it. It doesn't have anything, but you take that kernel of corn, you bury it, you let it die basically, but let it be resurrected. When someone puts a seed in the ground, they put it there. Really, they have faith. They're exercising faith that that thing that they put in the ground is going to produce something different when it is resurrected. And that's the same principle that we're trying to encourage you to operate in, is to operate in you're the seed. You have that seed lifestyle in your mind and in your heart. But to be seed, that means God has to bury you. That means God has to basically kill the seed
Starting point is 00:45:35 and let it be resurrected into something else. That's right. And so by you operating in these very basic principles of faith, the trying of your faith worketh patience, the Word of God says. The patience to what? Reproduce more seed. Doc, going back to the parable of the sower. So if we are the seed that he sows into his field, the world, and he expects us to produce a harvest for his kingdom. Yes. And he's satisfied with 30-fold, 60-fold, 100-fold.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Those are his terms. That's what he wants. Yes. He's okay with that, 30, 60, 100. He's expecting that. Yes. The minimum is 30. His maximum is 100. That's what the farmer expects, Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:46:21 So he sows you and me into his field, the world. Where does he sow us? Where he wants a harvest. Right. Okay. So what produces the harvest? The condition of our soil, our soil. Who's in charge of that? God? Nope. We are. You are. Me, you, our individual lives. That's our responsibility. The Word of God is in us, but the condition of our heart determines the productivity, the harvest that we will bring to His kingdom.
Starting point is 00:47:01 And this is what I want to say to our audience. And this deeply grieves want to say to our audience. And this is, this deeply grieves me. It troubles me that some of you are so consumed with news and talk shows and videos that the cares of this world are choking out the word of God. And you're not producing harvest for the Lord. And for that reason, I'm wanting to cut back on the amount of news that I give you because I'm starting to feel guilty that I'm overloading you with news and it's causing you to be consumed with the cares of this world.
Starting point is 00:47:53 And look, there may be a small group of us that we just have to separate from everybody else and just say, we're going ahead to pursue Christ. We know enough news. We already know where it's at. We already know the world is corrupt. There's not much more that we need to know. But what we need is to know Christ. And we need to get in the shadow of the Almighty.
Starting point is 00:48:24 We are in World War III right now. Unless God intervenes, there's going to be a nuclear war very soon. We're in World War III. And shortages are here. Pestilence is here. Plagues are here. And it doesn't matter how many videos you watch. It doesn't matter how many talk
Starting point is 00:48:50 shows you listen to. At this point it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that you are producing harvest for the king. Because anything that does not produce a harvest he cuts down and throws in the fire. He looks at a tree and says, it's dead. It doesn't have any fruit on it. It hasn't had fruit for years. That thing's dead.
Starting point is 00:49:15 I'm going to chop it down and put it in the fire. I don't want to be classified by Jesus Christ as a dead tree. I want to have fruit. And if news is causing me to not produce fruit, then I want to stop it because I want to be producing fruit for the Lord. And I want you to have that same desire. One more thing I want to talk about is an example I want to show you an example of miracle money. Oh okay that one just popped up okay. Well actually
Starting point is 00:50:00 this is a miracle money report from one of our viewers. This came in today, Rick. So just somebody praising the Lord for believing. He says, here's a gift from us. Took one day for miracle money to come. My boss owed me $700 that no one knew about. Here's the half owed. This is my third time doing miracle money. And so that's coming from Adam. And so, appreciate that you know we've had a number of reports but we that was one that we wanted to
Starting point is 00:50:33 share with you there well I got a couple more that have come in today these are coming in fairly fast now we just started this a couple days ago right today's Friday I think we started Wednesday. This is from Isaac. Isaac said, good afternoon, Rick. I've been watching True News for over three years. I love your passion and commitment for sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. I watched the show yesterday. You talked about miracle money. I was skeptical and doubtful. I appreciate Isaac being honest.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Today I received money from my school, Northern Illinois University. I had no idea about the refund that I received. Look how fast God provided him. See, there's a loving father knowing that Isaac was skeptical and doubtful. And immediately the Lord gave him a refund from his college. It only took a little belief. Okay, so now Isaac, do you have more faith?
Starting point is 00:51:40 Because that's what this is about. It's not so much about you getting the refund. It's about you having more faith in God. That's the purpose of this exercise, that you trust God more, that you're more hopeful, more expecting of good things to happen from heaven coming to your life, that you could trust god believe god pray with confidence knowing that he hears your prayers and that he'll answer that's what i want and i hope that this refund to you isaac has increased your faith in trusting god another and this is a gabriel Wow.
Starting point is 00:52:29 I accepted the challenge on sending miracle money. On September 14, it came. But she made it on Wednesday. Right. Was Wednesday the 13th? I guess today's the 15th. Today's the 15th. Okay, so Wednesday she made the challenge. She made the vow on Wednesday. And on Thursday
Starting point is 00:52:47 she got the money. And the report came in today. Yes. She said she received money from an insurance company that she did not expect. That's the miracle money we're talking about. God doing this. These stories are coming in. Here's from Kevin. Hello, Rick and Doc, True News staff. We were moving and we found money in a drawer that we had forgot about.
Starting point is 00:53:21 So Kevin is sending the money. Once again, miracle money. Money you weren't expecting. That's right. God knew the money once again okay miracle money you weren't expecting that's right god knew the money was there he showed you where it was at suddenly you have money let the lord do this in your life right make that challenge today make that commitment that vow here's the seven things that you need to do i'll put them up on the screen and it's a very simple plan. Number one, ask God for miracle money to arrive by August 31st, 2022. Well, we have people who've had miracle money show up in the first 24 to 48 hours.
Starting point is 00:53:57 I'm giving you all the way to August 31st. But the reason I'm putting a deadline on it is because a vow should be specific. A promise to God should be specific. It shouldn't be open-ended. You shouldn't five years from now wonder, oh, I just got this money. Am I obligated to give it to Rick? No, no.
Starting point is 00:54:22 We're putting a deadline on it. Right, so that you know by faith that this was definitely from God. So number two, make a promise, a vow to God that you will share half of it with us here at True News. Number three, send half of it when the miracle money arrives. Don't hold on to it. Don't come up with ideas of how you're going to get it to us over the next 10 years. Don't prorate it. Payment plan. Yeah. Yeah. Don't. I had one guy that did that one time, did it on a payment plan. Number four, keep the other 50% for yourself. Don't have any guilt about it. It's your money. God gave you miracle money.
Starting point is 00:55:12 Use it for whatever you want to do with that money. Number five, brag about God. Tell people what you did. Hey, I watched this show. This guy dared me to make a vow to God asking for miracle money. I did, and the money showed up. Tell them how the money came. You're glorifying God. You're praising God. You're testifying about God. Number six, send a letter or email to us, just like these others have written to me, and tell me how God got the money to you.
Starting point is 00:55:41 And then number seven, do all of it again and again until the miracle money to you. And then number seven, do all of it again and again until the miracle money stops flowing. The story in the Old Testament about the widow of Zarephath, the money, I mean the oil and the meal, it stopped flowing eventually at the end of the famine. There was an end to it. She didn't need miracle oil and miracle flour after the famine ended.
Starting point is 00:56:10 God said, you're able to take care of yourself now. But through the famine, he continued to flow. So, once your miracle money starts, don't think it's the one and only time. Because the world is in a famine right now. Right. And you may need this to continue. When it dries up, it dries up. And it's because God is saying, I have other ways to take care of you right now.
Starting point is 00:56:41 The main thing is that he wants you to build your faith. Yes. He wants you to trust him. He wants you to get closer to him. He wants you to have confidence in him. He wants you to stop worrying. He wants you to look to him for everything that you need and just have peace and assurance and confidence that your dad takes care of you. Some of you don't know what it's like to have a loving, kind dad.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Right. Maybe you had one and he died a long time ago. Maybe you never had a loving, kind dad. Maybe your parents were divorced and your dad moved away and you had no contact. Maybe you had a dad that was disconnected from you, just didn't care, didn't pay attention to you, never told you he loved you and never did anything. That's not your Heavenly
Starting point is 00:57:35 Father. And He wants to be your dad. He wants to be your Papa. And He wants you to call Him Papa. Whatever name you want to call Him, Dad, Papa, Abba, Baba, whatever name, it's okay. Whatever you want, He wants you to call Him that loving name. He wants that child love.
Starting point is 00:57:59 And He wants to love on you. And He wants to be a kind, caring father to you. As though he has no other children he just wants to love on you and that's the relationship he desires to have with you and i'm just encouraging you uh to to reach out to him and tell him more than you want miracle money tell him you want him yes you want him you want to know him as your papa all right that's it for today we'll be back here on monday god bless god bless you the preceding program was made possible by the faithful prayers and financial support of listeners just like you.
