1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,720 There are so many hostile enemies of America that have nuclear capabilities. 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:10,560 The first thing he does to break down order, to bring final destruction, is he brings chaos. 3 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,800 This is all prelude for the final destruction. 4 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,840 Things will go from bad to worse. 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,760 Men will become lovers of self rather than lovers of God. 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,800 Nation will rise against nation. 7 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:26,040 And so he uses these tools to bring man into the outer darkness. 8 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,080 And that is exactly what's going to be happening. 9 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:36,560 Rabbi Kurt Schneider, it's great to have you back here on Charisma to share what God is speaking to you about 2025. 10 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:43,000 But before we get into that, we talked last year about what God was saying for 2024. 11 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,480 And one of the things you said was that about the spirit of evil manifesting through chaos. 12 00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:52,640 And I believe we did see that this last year. 13 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,440 And let's just kind of recap a little bit about that. 14 00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,320 Yeah, years ago, I've been saved, John, since 1978. 15 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:05,120 I was supernaturally brought to faith as many of our viewers know in our vision of the night as a Jewish person. 16 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,040 I knew nothing about Jesus. 17 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,040 He was as far away to me as the man on the moon. 18 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:15,920 But one hot August night in 1978, the Lord woke me from my sleep. 19 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,680 My eyes were still closed, but I was aware that something was happening. 20 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,720 And in that vision of the night, Jesus appeared on the cross. 21 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:23,720 It was in color. 22 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,480 I could see some people in the distance looking at him as he was being crucified. 23 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:33,640 And then a ray of red light from the heavens, from straight above the blue sky, came down on Jesus' head. 24 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,160 And when I saw that ray of red light, John, come down from the heavens on Jesus' head, 25 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,240 I understood that that ray of light, that beam of light was coming from God. 26 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,000 And that I understood also that that person on the cross was Jesus. 27 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,400 As an American, I knew enough to know that the person on the cross was Jesus, 28 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,040 even though I knew nothing about him, didn't understand anything about sin or anything. 29 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,920 But I knew that God had just shown me that Jesus was the weight of him. 30 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:02,720 Shortly after that experience in 1978, I had another encounter with the Spirit. 31 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:07,800 And if anybody experienced what I am about to share with you, 32 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,240 they would say the same exact thing that I'm going to say right now. 33 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:17,800 What I saw that night, John, was above anything that my mind could have fabricated. 34 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,440 In other words, I saw something that night, shortly after my initial encounter with the Lord in 1978, 35 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:29,440 I saw something that was beyond anything that the human mind could have fabricated. 36 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,440 I literally saw into the spirit world. 37 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,480 And I saw two spirits. 38 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,920 I saw a spirit of white life. 39 00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:40,560 The spirit of white life was sealed. 40 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,560 It was shaped like an egg. 41 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,080 It appeared to be about three feet long and maybe about a foot and a half high. 42 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,640 Every part of it was pulsating with life. 43 00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:57,240 Every part of the sealed, self-contained spirit of white life that was shaped like an egg was in motion. 44 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,880 It was continuous, continuously bubbling up newness of life. 45 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,960 It was everlasting life. 46 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,680 I believe I saw God's uncreated life. 47 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,120 I believe I saw the spirit that He gives, each one of us that are born again of Him. 48 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,000 While all around the sealed and self-contained spirit of white life was darkness. 49 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,560 Everywhere else was darkness. 50 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,960 The spirit of life was sealed and self-contained. 51 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,240 But all around that spirit of white life was darkness. 52 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,600 On the outside of it, the darkness was alive. 53 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,800 It wasn't just the absence of light, John. 54 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,960 It was a living darkness. 55 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:43,320 The interesting thing is the darkness moved in a completely different way 56 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,200 than the spirit of life moved. 57 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,680 And I could see the texture of the darkness. 58 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:53,320 The texture of the darkness, the fabric of it, was completely different than the spirit of white life. 59 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:59,920 The texture of the darkness was like a creepy, chaotic randomness. 60 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:07,480 And all I can tell you is I saw into the spirit realm, I saw life and I saw living darkness. 61 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,120 I never forgot it. 62 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,480 Shortly after I saw into the spirit world that night, 63 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,240 I was watching something on television. 64 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,040 I don't know what it was, but something bad was about to happen. 65 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,720 I don't know if somebody was about to get attacked or what it was. 66 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,600 All I know is that someone was about to get assaulted in some way. 67 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,600 And as this assault was about to unfold on the television screen, 68 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,920 some music started playing through the television set. 69 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,000 And I realized, John, when I heard the music, 70 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,400 that the music that was leading up to this fearful assault 71 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:43,680 was a musical projection of that darkness that I saw in the spirit world. 72 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,760 That it was actually that darkness that was put to the music. 73 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,440 So the darkness can project itself into the earth, 74 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,680 whether it's through music, through words, through actions, 75 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,760 even as the spirit of life projects into the world through God's people 76 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,640 and through God's hand in the world. 77 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,720 Now, why am I saying this in connection to what I prophesied last year, about 2025? 78 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,040 The first thing that I noticed about the darkness when I saw the spirit of life 79 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,880 surrounded by that spirit of darkness was the movement of the darkness, 80 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,840 the fabric of it, was random chaos. 81 00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:19,840 The spirit of life had a grace to it. 82 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:24,200 It was like supernatural, beautiful, graceful coordination. 83 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,920 But the darkness that I saw surrounding it that was every place else, 84 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,280 it was random chaos. 85 00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:35,040 And so I believe that Satan was come to steal and kill and destroy. 86 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,600 The first thing he does to break down order, to bring final destruction, 87 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,240 is he brings chaos. 88 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,000 Because when you have chaos and you have no order, 89 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,920 destruction shortly ensues. 90 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,480 And so we are more and more seeing the fabric of society being torn down, 91 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,440 particularly now, through the breakthrough of AI. 92 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,920 You know, last time when we had talked, we knew about AI, 93 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,600 and I'm not a tech guy, so there's a lot of people there 94 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,600 that were a lot more familiar with it than I was. 95 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,920 I heard about it, I heard that it was coming. 96 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,600 I knew it was out there, but I didn't have much personal experience with it. 97 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,840 But all of a sudden, this last year, since I prophesied in 2024, 98 00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:17,520 there's going to be an increase of chaos. 99 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,120 All of a sudden this year, I'm going on Google doing a search, 100 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,880 and at the top of my Google search, oftentimes I'm seeing AI overview. 101 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,160 So now AI is breaking in commonplace. 102 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,440 Here's the problem. 103 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,480 AI, what an incredible tool. 104 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:38,640 The problem is that Satan takes these advancements of mankind 105 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,920 that seem like they're great tools at first, 106 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,000 and we bite into them because they make life easier and they're more efficient, 107 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,080 and they could be used in a helpful way, 108 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,920 but over time what happens is he uses these tools 109 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,480 to bring man into the outer darkness, 110 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,840 and that is exactly what's going to be happening with AI. 111 00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:02,720 AI, although it's an incredible tool, is going to be used of the devil 112 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:08,720 to create such misinformation that people won't know what is true and what's not true anymore. 113 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,600 We're already experiencing that, but beyond that, 114 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,520 as people are more and more connected to the Internet 115 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,800 and all the things that are coming to us through the Internet, 116 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:24,160 man is being drawn out of a biting in the seat of his own soul, 117 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,880 which is where God fellowships with us at, 118 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,160 and man is being brought out of that into that outer, 119 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,960 pseudo world of Internet space, 120 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,280 and as we move into that Internet space, 121 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,560 we're going to be captivated and overwhelmed by the darkness 122 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,560 filled with misinformation, 123 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,200 being brought out of real relationship, 124 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,040 and this is all a crelude for the final destruction 125 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,120 that Satan is seeking to bring upon the world. 126 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,400 Wow. 127 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,120 You know, I totally agree with what you're saying. 128 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,480 I think right now we're in that experimental spot 129 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,960 where it can be used for good and it can be used for evil, 130 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,080 but I think eventually it will do what you were saying, 131 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,920 and I've heard a lot of people talk about how they project 132 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,040 or they can foresee how this can be used 133 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,800 as something that would be like leading to the mark of the beast, 134 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,800 leading to the image of the beast, 135 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,960 giving, you know, having voice and things like

490 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,080 That the Holy Spirit, the Spirit hovered over the waters, 491 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,680 the Spirit hovered over the chaos that was underneath it. 492 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,280 And that's where we need to rest and reside 493 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,080 despite what's going on in the world today. 494 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,280 Very, very well said. 495 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,880 I'm thinking, John, shortly after I came to know the Lord, 496 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,880 I had a strong encounter with the Father. 497 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,480 I knew specifically that this was the Father. 498 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,880 Again, it was in my sleep. 499 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,680 It wasn't a vision. It wasn't a dream. 500 00:23:58,680 --> 00:23:59,880 I don't know what to call it. 501 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,080 All I know is I never forgot it. 502 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,480 But the Lord one night came to me. 503 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,080 When I say came to me, I mean, all of a sudden, I was just in it. 504 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,480 And there was like a river of fire. 505 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,480 It was literally a river of fire flowing from the Father 506 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,080 into my soul. 507 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,480 Then back to the Father, it was like circling. 508 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,080 It was a river of fire. 509 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,880 And inside the river of fire, 510 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,080 the Father was speaking into my soul in fire. 511 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,480 And He was saying to me, 512 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:32,280 seize my word and don't let anything else in. 513 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,680 Seize my word and don't let anything else in. 514 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,880 Seize my word and don't let anything else in. 515 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,880 Seize my word and don't let anything else in. 516 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,080 And I was marked by that. 517 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,880 But I was confused because I said, 518 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,880 Lord, how do I seize Your word? 519 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,080 Like, how can I seize the entire Bible? 520 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,880 How do I seize the entire Bible? 521 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,880 I don't even know every scripture in the Bible. 522 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,880 How do I seize that entire thing? 523 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,280 So I was deeply confused. 524 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,080 And I was troubled because I knew, 525 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,680 I knew that the Father had spoken to me. 526 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,480 So I said, Lord, what is Your word? 527 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,080 And what is the word I'm supposed to seize? 528 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,680 Because I can't seize the entire Bible at one time. 529 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,880 So then I thought, well, maybe it's the particular portions 530 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,880 of the Bible that the Lord is highlighting to me 531 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,880 at any specific season in my life. 532 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,680 Like, for example, you're reading the Word 533 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:22,880 or you hear a sermon 534 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,080 and there's a particular part of the Bible 535 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,680 that the Holy Spirit is just putting weight on 536 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,080 and anchoring your soul in. 537 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,280 So we're supposed to really seize that 538 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,280 that the Father is speaking to us, 539 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,080 that He's taking that logos 540 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,480 and making it a rame award to us to seize that. 541 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:38,680 And I think that's true, 542 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:39,880 that we are supposed to do that 543 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,480 when the Spirit is speaking to us about something. 544 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:43,480 That's the word. 545 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:44,880 The Spirit speaks the word. 546 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,280 The word is the communication of God. 547 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,880 We're to seize it. 548 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,680 But then, John, the Lord even gave me further discernment 549 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,680 and He showed me that my word, 550 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,680 seize my word and don't let anything else in. 551 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,080 It's the entire Bible. 552 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,480 It's the portions of the Scripture 553 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,680 that the Spirit is highlighting to us. 554 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,480 But beyond that, 555 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,680 the word is the Spirit's communication. 556 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:16,480 And a lot of times the Spirit is subtly communicating to us 557 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,080 as sons and daughters, 558 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,680 something that we're not necessarily hearing a verbal word on, 559 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,280 but the Holy Spirit is just beginning to cause us 560 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,880 to become aware of something in our life 561 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,080 that He's wanting us to change. 562 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,680 He's wanting us to move into. 563 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,480 And we just sense it and it grows over time 564 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,680 and we become more aware of what He's saying to us over time. 565 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,680 And whatever that is that the Spirit is speaking to us, 566 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,280 we have to seize it and not let anything else in. 567 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,880 For example, in my life right now, 568 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,080 I'm becoming more and more aware just of the impulses of my heart, 569 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,480 of my disposition. 570 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,280 Like if there's an impulse of anger that's arising 571 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,080 because of impatience, 572 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,680 I need to put that boundary up. 573 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:06,280 I need to seize God's word of patience and long suffering 574 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,880 and I need to resist that feeling of anger and impatience 575 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,080 not letting it in. 576 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,280 So I seize God's word, 577 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,480 patience and long suffering 578 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,680 and I refuse to let in the spirit of stress 579 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,880 and anxiety and animosity that I'm experiencing 580 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,480 because I'm frustrated about something. 581 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,080 So I'm seizing God's word 582 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,080 and I'm not letting in the darkness, 583 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,680 the projection of the darkness 584 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,280 that would cause me to be selfish and impatient in. 585 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,480 Amen. 586 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,880 I mean, seizing that word of God is vitally important. 587 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,080 We need to hold on to that. 588 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,480 Don't let anything else in. 589 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,880 I love that that's what God spoke to you 590 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,080 in that encounter, that experience. 591 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,680 I don't even know what else to describe it as, 592 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,280 but I'm glad that you had the opportunity to have that 593 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,080 and that you're able to share that with us. 594 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,680 You know, Rabbi, as we're wrapping up here, 595 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,280 would you just pray for everybody that is watching this 596 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,880 that they would have that discernment 597 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,280 because there is a lot of prophetic words that are going out 598 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,480 and some of them are prophetic from the Lord, 599 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,280 some of them are prophetic from the flesh, 600 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,680 some of them are prophetic from the spirit of this world. 601 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,880 But could you just speak specifically 602 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,280 or pray specifically for the discernment, 603 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,280 especially going into 2025? 604 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,480 Thank you, my friend. 605 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,080 Well, I'm crying right now for everybody 606 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,280 whose heart is open and hungry and humble 607 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,080 and desires the Lord to do something 608 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,480 in your life and heart right now 609 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,080 as we move in particularly to this next season. 610 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,280 So, Father, to every one of your beloved children 611 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,680 that is humbly looking to you right now, 612 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,280 Father, just wanting you to do in their lives 613 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,680 whatever it is, Lord, it's pleasing to you, 614 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,080 whatever you want to do. 615 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,480 Father, we love you today. 616 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,680 Thank you, Father, for loving us. 617 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,280 And as we lift our hearts to you, 618 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,680 we ask you, Abba Daddy, to circumcise our hearts. 619 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,880 Father, circumcise our thoughts. 620 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,480 Give us ears to hear. 621 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,080 Help us to separate the voice of the enemy 622 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,880 and of misinformation and the voice of confusion 623 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,880 from your voice. 624 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,880 Father, thank you that you're a God of order. 625 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,080 And so, Father, we ask you to lead us 626 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,280 in the steps of righteousness. 627 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,280 God, that you'll help us to have discernment of heart, 628 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,080 discernment of motives, discernment of thoughts. 629 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,880 Jesus, you said that your sheep hear your voice 630 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,080 and a stranger's voice, they will not follow. 631 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,080 And you know that I've lifted this stuff to you 632 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,480 many times myself, Lord. 633 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,880 Help us to hear your voice more clearly 634 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,480 and to shut the door to the voice of the enemy 635 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,880 and to not let any disinformation or dark spirit in. 636 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,280 Jesus, we love you today. 637 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,480 Strengthen us to seize your word, 638 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,080 to love you, to obey you, and to not let anything else in. 639 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,880 Help us, Jesus, to abide in you and walk in your steps. 640 00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,880 We ask you to root us and ground us in the Word of God. 641 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,880 Amen and amen. 642 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,280 Rabbi Kurt Schneider, thank you so much 643 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,480 for taking the time to share with what God has done 644 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,280 in this last year that we talked about 645 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,280 and what we feel that God is preparing us for 646 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,480 and how we need to respond and react for what's coming ahead. 647 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,680 And that discernment is very, very key. 648 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,880 Rabbi, thank you so much for joining us today. 649 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:21,880 I love you, my friends. 650
