There is going to be a great economic collapse.  There’s a video clip going around right now.  Christians are so gullible.  There’s this guy, some guy making a prophesy about Trump getting shot in the ear.  Have any of you seen it yet?  It’s on the Internet.  It’ll be coming to a friend near you before long.  This guy, a couple of months ago, gave this prophesy about America and saving America.  In the prophesy, he talked about a gunshot that was going to hit the President in the ear and burst his ear drum.  I haven’t heard about that yet.  See, if you’re wrong in one, then the whole thing gets thrown out.  “Bursts the ear drum and then after this, he’s going to be elected.”  Then, he saw him in the oval room just fretting over the condition of the nation.  A great, great economic collapse took place and then he was surrounded by a bunch of believers and prayed in the White House.  Trump was this mighty Christian man.  It’d be great if he got saved; amen?  That’d be tremendous.  In this particular dream and prophesy and I’m trying to remember one other aspect of it, but America got saved, praise God!

In the last days, false prophets will arise, deceiving many; amen?  The guy started out pretty good.  I mean, that’s pretty slick being able to predict an ear.  Kind of like Nostradamus: if you say enough things, you’ll get a lot of them right.  Let’s guard our hearts in these last days; amen?  Don’t get caught up with all of these frivolous things that are going on.  God has a plan and no man will thwart it.  So, we’re excited about that.

In these last days that we’re living in, we want to be fulfilling that great mandate that was given the church.  The church still has a job to do.  He told Peter, “I’m going to build a church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.  I’m going to build it upon this declaration that you just made.  Who do men say that I am?”  “Some say You’re Elijah, some say the prophet, some say You’re John the Baptist.”  “Who do you say that I am?”  “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16).  He said, “On that proclamation I’m going to build a church.  And the gates of hell will not prevail against it.”  Thessalonians tells us that the church is that vehicle through the power of the Holy Ghost that is holding at bay the Antichrist.  "He that now restrains will restrain until he be taken out of the way and then shall that man appear," speaking of the Antichrist.  We look around today and the church and we look like quite a motley crew.  “Greater is he that is in us (amen?) than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4), praise God!

The church is a restraining power.  I want to encourage you.  How do you see yourself tonight?  Barely hanging on, or the force restraining the Antichrist?  In all things, you are more than conquerors; amen?  You see, too many of us personalize that to the degree of thinking that it’s just our individual blessings and our individual protection.  I want you to know that our conquering has to do with the power of the kingdom of God and the church in the rightful position of authority and power that Jesus gave it 2,000 years ago.  It’s not diminished.

That power that we’re going against has not diminished either.  The god of this world, 1 Corinthians 4:4, the god of this world is blinding eyes everywhere, raising up false christs we’re going to see in this last day.  Are you ready to contend for the faith?  Are we ready to meet, head on, the satanic powers that are coming against the church and controlling the minds of all of these world leaders today?
