• 0:04
  or the conflict in the Middle East or the temple being built?
• 0:08
  Well, I have some good news for you today.
• 0:10
  Even though there's chaos all around and there might be a storm in the Middle
• 0:14
  East or who knows what's happening when you might be listening to this,
• 0:17
  but you don't have to have anxiety.
• 0:19
  You can figure out exactly what's going on. And Jesus already told you in the
• 0:24
  Bible exactly what you're supposed to do.

• 0:46
  All right, let's get right into it. I want to talk about end time anxiety.
• 0:49
  This is a godly hack for peace in a secular, chaotic world.
• 0:54
  Now, the world is shaken, but God is always on the move. Jesus is coming back.
• 0:59
  There's nothing you can do to stop that. And I know sometimes people are like,
• 1:02
  well, I just, I can't wait for Jesus to get back.
• 1:05
  I want to get out of here. But that's not really how you're supposed to think.
• 1:08
  And Revelation 1.7, it says, Behold, he's coming with the clouds.
• 1:13
  Every eye will see him, and even those who pierced him, and all the tribes of
• 1:18
  the earth will mourn because of him.
• 1:20
  Come on, that's not good. Why are some people going to be crying?
• 1:25
  Well, some people are excited he's coming and other people are like,
• 1:27
  holy crap, he's coming. I gotta get it right, but it'll be too late then, but not for you.
• 1:32
  Matthew 24, 30. Then the sign of man will appear in the heavens and all the
• 1:37
  tribes of the earth will see him.
• 1:38
  The son of man will be coming on a cloud with power and great glory.
• 1:43
  Come on, the point, this is not symbolic. This isn't something that's hidden.
• 1:47
  Jesus is literally going to split the sky wide open and everyone will know that he is coming.
• 1:55
  You don't need for someone to tell you that he's coming.
• 1:59
  When that sky gets split, you're gonna know that he's on the scene.
• 2:02
  And as long as you're living for him, you don't have to be afraid.
• 2:06
  It's good news when he comes. But what are we supposed to do?
• 2:09
  You supposed to be in panic? Are you supposed to build a bunker?
• 2:12
  I'm gonna tell you, just hold on.
• 2:14
  Revelation 13, 16. He causes all both small and great, rich and poor,
• 2:19
  free and slave to receive a mark
• 2:20
  in their right hand and on their forehead that no man could buy or sell.
• 2:25
  Except people who have the mark. You know, everyone talks about the mark of
• 2:27
  the beast. It's a big deal.
• 2:29
  The mark is something they're gonna put in your hand and you will have to use it to buy.
• 2:32
  We already have all the technology. If you've ever been to Disney or been anywhere,
• 2:36
  it's in your phone. You just scan your phone and burp and you pay for everything.
• 2:39
  So the tech is already here for the end time guy, the Antichrist guy.
• 2:44
  So we are literally on the edge of the edge of the return of Jesus Christ.
• 2:49
  But you don't have to panic and you're not gonna get this mark of the beast
• 2:53
  because I'm going to show you in scripture, you'll be gone.
• 2:57
  So all the things that everybody is panicking about, you won't be here.
• 3:01
  Now, I know some of you would like to think you're going to be here,
• 3:03
  but if I were you, I would decide to believe the Bible and not be in panic.
• 3:08
  All right. So it's real. Jesus is coming, but you don't have to panic.
• 3:12
  We're called to prepare and stay faithful. But you don't prepare for darkness
• 3:16
  by panicking. You prepare by just walking in the light.
• 3:20
  You know, it reminds me of the Bible verse where Jesus went up into heaven and
• 3:23
  the apostles were standing there looking.
• 3:25
  And two angels plunked down and they said, what are you doing staring up into
• 3:28
  heaven? The same Jesus that you saw go up, he's going to come back the same way.
• 3:33
  In other words, what the angels were saying is there's no time to stand here and stare.
• 3:38
  There's work to be done. You need to get going. And it's the same today.
• 3:42
  So maybe the reason why you or somebody could be so anxious is because you're
• 3:46
  just thinking like all hell's going to break loose, literally.
• 3:50
  And that's all you're thinking about. But you're supposed to be busy.
• 3:53
  You know how like if you were excited to take a trip, but you're so busy packing
• 3:57
  and getting everything ready, you don't even realize what time it is or how
• 4:00
  close it is to your departure time? Well, it's the same way with Jesus.
• 4:03
  He is coming soon. There's an arrival time for christ it is preset by the father
• 4:08
  in heaven you can't stop it you can't make him come sooner or later you just
• 4:13
  have to be obedient when he comes but the deal is if you're busy doing things
• 4:17
  for the kingdom then you won't be in any panic and you'll be prepared and you'll be ready.
• 4:23
  First thessalonians 4 16-17 we are not appointed to wrath now this will help alleviate any stress
• 4:32
  or anxiety you might have for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with
• 4:36
  a shout and the dead in Christ will rise first then we who are alive and remain
• 4:43
  shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord.
• 4:49
  So the Bible says, first the dead, those in the ground or whatever,
• 4:53
  they're going to come first, and then me and you, if we happen to still be on the earth.
• 4:56
  1 Thessalonians 5.9, For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation
• 5:01
  through our Lord Jesus Christ.
• 5:04
  We're not waiting on destruction. We're waiting for deliverance from the King
• 5:08
  of Kings. You see, God did not appoint us to wrath.
• 5:12
  He put his wrath on Jesus. So he's not coming to hurt you, especially if you
• 5:16
  love him and you serve him.
• 5:18
  We're not waiting for destruction. We're just waiting for deliverance.
• 5:22
  The church is not bracing for impact. We're preparing for departure.
• 5:25
  We don't have to be scared. You don't have to be afraid. He is coming and we
• 5:29
  get to go with him. You're not going to suffer. You won't be going through the end time anxiety.
• 5:34
  Yes, there's war in the Middle East. There's going to be war in the Middle East
• 5:37
  until he comes back. The Bible said that Jesus is going to put his feet at the Mount Olivet.
• 5:42
  And the devil knows that. So there's been a fight over Israel for as long as
• 5:46
  there's been time, and there'll continue to be a fight, and there will never be peace over there.
• 5:50
  Because Abraham had two sons, one he shouldn't have had, and the other he did.
• 5:54
  He had a promised child, but he wanted to rush the promise, and he had Ishmael.
• 5:58
  And now you've got the Muslim nation and the Christians, and we're enemies. It just is how it is.
• 6:03
  And so there's these two brothers, and they're always fighting.
• 6:07
  And that's why there's fights in the Middle East, and there will be until the return of Christ.
• 6:11
  You have to occupy until he comes. You have an assignment.
• 6:14
  So you don't have to be anxious. You don't have to be panicked.
• 6:18
  You don't have to be afraid.
• 6:19
  Luke 19, 13, do business until I come. That's the instruction we have from Jesus.
• 6:24
  It's not to build bunkers. It's not to build rice. It's not to get holy water.
• 6:28
  It's not to have, I mean, it's just kind of hilarious.
• 6:31
  These Christians, if, look, if you build a bunker, I'm not trying to rain on
• 6:34
  your parade, but there's no point building a bunker.
• 6:37
  I mean, they're going to come for your food anyway. If you were left there, they will get it.
• 6:41
  You're going to be up in the heaven with Jesus. You're not going to have to
• 6:43
  worry about a food bunker.
• 6:45
  Do business until I come. Jesus did not say hide until I come.
• 6:49
  Build a bunker until I come.
• 6:50
  He said, do business, occupy until I come.
• 6:53
  What does that mean? It means build, preach, live, advance, have babies,
• 6:58
  be happy, don't be panicked, live until he comes.
• 7:02
  Jesus didn't say hide out. He said occupy. We are not called to survive the end times.
• 7:07
  We're called to dominate until the end times. I don't know about you,
• 7:11
  but this brings me peace.
• 7:13
  You know, I'm not called to just sit here and panic and bite my nails and wait for Jesus to come back.
• 7:18
  I'm called to inhabit the earth to do great things. And so are you.
• 7:23
  All right, here are four things you need to do before the return of Jesus. You ready?
• 7:27
  Don't forget to hit share if you haven't hit share, and don't forget to follow
• 7:29
  me if you haven't done that already.
• 7:31
  All right, stay rooted in the word. Do not let distractions choke you.
• 7:35
  I did a whole message on distractions. I might do that next week.
• 7:37
  Matthew 13, 22. The cares of this world and deceitfulness of riches choke the
• 7:42
  word and it becomes unfruitful.
• 7:44
  You got to cut out distractions and protect your focus.
• 7:47
  It's time to focus now. He's coming back soon.
• 7:50
  If the word takes root, fear will lose its voice.
• 7:55
  If you begin to see that Jesus is coming for you, if you begin to see that you're
• 7:59
  supposed to occupy until he comes, you're supposed to take territory until he
• 8:02
  comes, all of a sudden it's hard to be afraid because you're like,
• 8:05
  oh man, I'm going to overtake.
• 8:07
  I'm going to do this and I'm going to be a blessing for the kingdom,
• 8:10
  all for the kingdom. Amen.
• 8:13
  Number two, guard your peace. You've got to refuse anxiety.
• 8:16
  One time I was so, it was bad. I was stressed out to the max.
• 8:19
  I cried, I prayed, I begged, I did everything, nothing changed.
• 8:22
  And all of a sudden, one single Bible verse rose up.
• 8:26
  Submit to God. Resist the devil. He'll flee. I was like, that's it.
• 8:30
  That's what you got for me. That's what you got. Yeah, that's what he's got.
• 8:35
  Philippians 4, 6-7. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer,
• 8:39
  let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God will guard your heart.
• 8:44
  Don't fight anxiety with logic. You replace it with prayer. Anxiety is loud, but peace is stronger.
• 8:50
  You have to live holy and be ready. Matthew 24, 44, therefore be ready for the
• 8:56
  son of man is coming at an hour you don't look.
• 8:58
  We don't know when he's coming, but that shouldn't give you anxiety.
• 9:02
  You don't know when Jesus is coming, but you can be busy until he comes. That's the best part.
• 9:07
  No, I don't know when he's coming, but I hope he comes when I'm laying hands
• 9:10
  on someone. Hope he comes when I'm praying.
• 9:11
  I hope he comes when I'm talking to you about Jesus.
• 9:14
  You're sitting here listening to godly hacks. You're sitting here listening,
• 9:17
  getting the word in your spirit. It'd be awesome if you came then, wouldn't it? Sure.
• 9:21
  Don't live casually. Live prepared. The number one thing, honestly,
• 9:24
  I'm telling you a lot of points, but really just live prepared. He's coming. Get ready.
• 9:29
  Four. Keep advancing the kingdom. Don't be quiet. Matthew 28,
• 9:33
  19. Go, therefore, and make disciples of nations.
• 9:37
  Stay bold. Keep preaching. Keep building. The darker the world gets,
• 9:42
  the brighter the church is supposed to shine.
• 9:45
  Now listen to me. The end times and the wars and the rumors of wars and all
• 9:50
  this stuff, this isn't meant to scare you. It's meant to position you.
• 9:54
  You are not supposed to be a fearful generation. You're supposed to be a ready
• 9:59
  generation. Ready for what?
• 10:01
  Ready for the return of Jesus. Do you remember with the story of the virgins
• 10:05
  and the lanterns and all that stuff?
• 10:07
  They had oil. Some had oil and some didn't.
• 10:11
  And so they're like, we want your oil. And they're like, we're not giving you
• 10:15
  our oil. Go get your own oil.
• 10:17
  So they left to get the oil. And when they left to get the oil,
• 10:21
  baby, Jesus came and the door was shut.
• 10:24
  And then they came back and they were knocking on that door.
• 10:26
  They were like, hey, let us. It was too late. The door was shut.
• 10:30
  The purpose of that story is to tell you, you never know when that door is going
• 10:34
  to open and you are supposed to be ready with oil.
• 10:37
  Now, you don't need to be anxious if you're ready. What does ready mean?
• 10:39
  It means you love the Lord, you serve God, you do what he tells you to do.
• 10:43
  You're not building bunkers and hiding out. And a lot of people are so obsessed
• 10:48
  with the end times, but really the only thing you're supposed to do is what
• 10:53
  those guys, those angels told them.
• 10:56
  Why are you sitting here staring up in the sky? Where's that Bible verse where
• 11:00
  the angels said, why are you sitting here staring in the sky, this same Jesus?
• 11:04
  Let's find that. I feel led to read that to you. Okay.
• 11:08
  It's Acts 1.11.
• 11:12
  Let me go to the whole thing. let's just go okay no thanks close all right,
• 11:19
  The ascension. So when they came together, they asked, Lord,
• 11:22
  will you do this? Blah, blah, blah.
• 11:24
  Jesus replied, it's not for you to know the time or the seasons that the Father
• 11:28
  has fixed by his own authority, but you'll receive power when the Holy Spirit's come upon you.
• 11:32
  You'll be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth.
• 11:39
  And he said this, they watched as he was taken up in a cloud and he went from their sight.
• 11:45
  Then they looked intently into the sky as he was going.
• 11:49
  And suddenly two men dressed in white stood and said, Men of Galilee,
• 11:52
  why do you stand here looking in the sky?
• 11:55
  This same Jesus who's been taken from you into heaven will come back in the
• 11:59
  same way you have seen him go to heaven. You see.
• 12:05
  Then they returned to Jerusalem, which is near the city. And when they arrived,
• 12:09
  they went to the upper room.
• 12:10
  So they did what Jesus said. But, you know, you can see they're like us.
• 12:14
  I mean, they're just staring at the sky.
• 12:15
  Like, you know, but Jesus didn't tell you to stare at the sky.
• 12:19
  You're just staring at the sky. What are you doing, Lisa? I'm waiting for Jesus
• 12:22
  to come back. But you're just staring at the sky. Yeah, I'm waiting for Jesus to come back.
• 12:27
  That's not what you're supposed to do. Occupy until he comes.
• 12:29
  You're supposed to build, plant, have families, propagate the gospel,
• 12:34
  preach the gospel, give, have churches, go do stuff, go help the widows,
• 12:38
  go help the orphans. That's what we're supposed to do.
• 12:40
  And I believe in my heart, if you're listening to me and you have any anxiety
• 12:44
  about the end time, chances are it's because your eyes are looking in the sky and you're not busy.
• 12:50
  Busy people don't have time to be anxious people. Busy people aren't worried
• 12:55
  about what might happen, what could happen, what's going to happen.
• 12:58
  Busy people are too busy doing things to worry about what could possibly happen.
• 13:04
  So a key for you to live free from anxiety in the end times is to get busy.
• 13:09
  And I really believe in my heart, many people that say they love God,
• 13:13
  you're not very busy. You're just not.
• 13:16
  You're on the internet flipping through all these goofy, dumb videos of people
• 13:19
  that don't even know what they're talking about.
• 13:21
  And you, do you understand? And I'm not trying to live.
• 13:24
  Please, no, I'm not trying to cut you down at all. I don't know where you live.
• 13:27
  I don't know if you're in Canada, the Netherlands, Malaysia—I don't know where you are—America?
• 13:33
  But I'm trying to tell you that instead of spending three hours on videos about
• 13:37
  flat earth, round earth, this Bible, that Bible, and Dead Sea Scrolls,
• 13:42
  all that crap that means nothing, okay?
• 13:46
  Instead of all of that, why don't you just go find somebody and preach the gospel?
• 13:52
  Hey, do you know that Jesus loves you? Do you know He died to set you free?
• 13:55
  Do you know that you don't have to suffer in this world without Him?
• 13:58
  Do you know He came to this earth to take away your sins, and he died on a cross,
• 14:01
  and he was buried and raised on the third day. I mean, that's the gospel.
• 14:05
  So just get busy. You know, many of us were worried because we're not busy. So yes, Jesus is coming.
• 14:13
  Yes, the world will fall apart. Yes, there will be an Antichrist.
• 14:17
  Yes, people will not get to buy or sell. But if you ask Christ in your heart,
• 14:20
  that won't be you, my friend.
• 14:22
  So the key, first key to not being anxious is to ask Christ to live in your heart.
• 14:27
  Once he's in your heart, when that sky gets split wide open,
• 14:30
  you'll be like, here I am. Me too, Jesus, take me.
• 14:34
  And then you don't have to be stressed. You don't have to be sad.
• 14:36
  You don't have to be depressed. You don't have to have worry.
• 14:39
  Because when that sky splits wide open, you, me, and all those that love him
• 14:43
  and believe him will be taken up with him. Amen?
• 14:46
  Yes, it'll be horrible for those left behind, which is why you and I can't stare
• 14:50
  at the sky. We got to get get busy, get busy, get busy, right?
• 14:53
  I hope this makes sense. So just to recap quickly, Jesus is coming back. It's undeniable.
• 14:59
  The mark of the beast is real, but fear is not your portion.
• 15:02
  We are not appointed to wrath, so you don't have to worry about the rapture.
• 15:06
  You're to occupy until he comes because you have an assignment.
• 15:10
  How do you do these things? Stay rooted in the word, not distracted.
• 15:14
  Guard your peace. Refuse any and all anxiety. Live holy.
• 15:18
  Live ready. Keep advancing the kingdom don't go don't
• 15:22
  go quiet end time prophecy is not
• 15:24
  meant to scare you it's meant to position you and even
• 15:28
  though we refuse fear we're going to be ready and then you are going to be ready
• 15:32
  you're going to do something great for god something great for the lord and
• 15:35
  today can be the best day or tonight or whenever you're watching it i want to
• 15:39
  pray over you so don't turn the station but before i do if you don't know jesus
• 15:45
  that's the first step to not have anxiety
• 15:47
  You have to repent. You have to ask Jesus to live in your heart.
• 15:50
  Father, forgive me. I am a sinner.
• 15:53
  Jesus, I believe. Say this after me. Jesus, I believe. You died on a cross for me.
• 16:00
  Will you forgive me my sins, Jesus? Will you come into my heart and be the Lord
• 16:05
  of my life? Will you change me?
• 16:08
  Amen. If you said that simple prayer like that, you're rescued.
• 16:11
  Now, if you're watching, let me pray over you.
• 16:14
  Father, every person under the sound of my voice, I declare there's no anxiety,
• 16:17
  there's no problem, there's no fear.
• 16:19
  Father, I ask you to remove any and all anxiety from these people.
• 16:23
  I thank you so much for helping them. God, I'm asking you that everybody that
• 16:27
  watches or hears, could they please share it, God, with like at least 10 people?
• 16:31
  Can you help me to get this out to more people, Father, please?
• 16:35
  Please let this go to the north, south, west, and east and help many people see it.
• 16:39
  Thank you so much for another day to share the gospel with people.
• 16:43
  I pray, God, they'll be blessed and prosperous in the name of Jesus and they
• 16:47
  will be worry and anxiety free.
