In this live YouTube/Facebook session, therapist, life‑coach, speaker and author Shakeeta Torres delivers a prophetic word about a season of mass exposure of wickedness across the seven "mountains" of societal influence—business, arts & entertainment, media, government, family, education, and religion. She explains that God is using waves of revelation to rescue the hurting, cleanse leadership, and give the wicked time to repent, but that the current "eye of the storm" (2024) will give way to a period of divine judgment beginning in 2025. Torres references Acts 5 (Ananias and Sapphira), Romans 8 (the wrath of God revealed), and 2 Peter 2 (false teachers) to illustrate biblical precedent. She shares personal testimony of generational abuse in her family to illustrate God’s righteous judgment, and emphasizes that exposure also brings healing for victims and empowerment for whistleblowers. Throughout she promotes a free boundaries webinar and her "Empowered to Lead" program for Christian leaders, urging listeners to set godly boundaries, repent, and prepare for the coming judgment. The tone is urgent, prophetic, and pastoral, with a mix of personal narrative, scriptural exposition, and practical ministry calls.

Here we are.
And also, I launched my Empowered to Lead program for Christian leaders, for those who are emerging and for those who are seasoned, um, leaders to help you guys to really just dig deeper in God and overcome imposter syndrome, overcome perfectionism, um, overcome, um, comparison, you know, really truly, you know, hone in on who God created you to be.

So that link is also in the description box on Facebook and YouTube, and also it's, um, in the bio on my Instagram page as well. So I want to go ahead and get that out the way. Um, because once I release this word, I'm gonna be done. I'm done. Okay, so visit those links to learn more about it.
Okay, so the Lord had me go back a little bit again into words that I have released before. I've already prayed several times before I got on this live. I'm gonna pray again anyhow. Um, so Father, I just thank you for, um, just being God.
I thank you, God, for this word. I thank you, God, that you love us so much, God, to to prepare us and to warn us, God, for what is to come. Holy Spirit, I ask you to have your way. I surrender my mouth, my eyes, my everything into you, Lord God, to be used for your glory, God, to be able to speak to your people, God, whatever is on your heart. I speak boldness, I speak clarity. I'm gonna ask God for your wisdom to come forth. In Jesus' name I pray, amen and amen. All right, so since '02, I have been releasing so many prophetic words, um, sound the alarm, trying to prepare the body of Christ to prepare for what God is getting ready to do, okay? Which was to expose wickedness on all 7 mountains of influence, to include business, arts and entertainment, media, government, family, education, religion.
Other than 7, right? And he gave me that word for the very first time.
I remember like it was yesterday, April 2022, okay? And it was a heavy word. And so since then, he has been giving me words to warn people, warn people, warn people. Some of you guys listen, some of you guys probably didn't know. I, I'm not sure, okay? There's so many people out here now giving prophetic words, and I know it can be overwhelming, it can be confusing, confusing. But all the word that I have given thus far has came— has come to pass, okay? And so fast forward, here we are and it's happening. We see exposure going on everywhere and people are shook. Even when God was giving the word to me, he was even telling me, daughter, brace yourself because some things that are going to come out is going to also shock you. And it has. It really has. It has grieved my spirit and grieved my heart to see certain things that are coming forth. Okay, all right. And he also told me the main way he would use this is that he was going to empower and embolden whistleblowers to come forth to share what is going on in the dark. Okay, and my God, it's happening. It's happening right now as we speak. He gave me that word in the fall of last year, like October of last year. I believe it was October last year. Yeah, October of last year that, um, they're coming, they're here, and they've been whistling, baby. Okay, um, and so I hear people who say certain things like, oh, God is, you know, God is gracious, God is love, and God is all those things, you guys. But these are things that's been going on for decades, not things that's been going on for a few months or even a couple— it's been going on for decades, right? And God is long-suffering towards us, and he has been preparing us and telling the body to repent for different things.
Repent, go before God, get things right, because God does not desire to embarrass us.
God does not desire for the world, you know, to see the body of Christ go through all of this gunk we're going through right now.
But it has to happen.
First of all, it's in scripture, it has to happen.
Um, number two, right, he is coming for his sheep. He is coming for the sheep who have been hurt, who have been abused, who have been overlooked, who have been silenced, who have been killed and murdered. Yep, killed and murdered too. People have died over the hands of the wicked in and out of the church, y'all.
And I know that for a fact because the Lord himself has shown me in dreams and various ways of things that's been going on in the dark. That we don't even know about. Okay, all right.
And so I also see, you know, I'm very—
I'm slow to speak and I'm quick to listen. And that takes discipline. That takes, uh, discipline. Know where to put it. Okay, because oftentimes, you know, most people can be on the bandwagon of some things and no, no, no, this is not God.
No, no, no, it's not him.
And you might have 2 or 3 over here saying that, um, yeah, it is God. So these people can be outnumbered, right? And so for me, you know, I, I, I understand that how God operate and how we operate is different. And so I really like to get clarity from God about situations that I am familiar with. And I had to go through that honestly this past week. This past week something came up with a person that I, that I wasn't familiar with, but I end up being in this person's, um, I would say in their sphere, you know. I'm not going to go into detail about that. And things begin to come out about this person, and I'm like, well, God, most people are saying this about her. I said, Lord, I don't want to jump on the bandwagon. I don't want to, you know, shun them, whatever. I said, God, you got to tell me and show me so I'll know what to do, what to pray for. So I let it go, I gave it to God. So as the days went on, the Lord began to drop stuff in my spirit and tell me and show me. I'm like, oh, okay. So he gave me clarity.
I knew, but I wanted God to show me so that I can move and operate right and handle the situation according to what he says and not what man is saying. Okay, so with that being said, with all the exposure going on, and we see it across every single mountain of influence Okay, but in the body of Christ, we can see the sheep is scattered.
The sheep has been scattered for a while now, and that's because, to be truthful, you know, many sheep have made people their idols.
They have, um, also they have trusted them with their heart because, you know, it's in our nature, especially sheep, especially babies in Christ, to trust leaders, right?
Especially those who have been in this walk, in this ministry, for a very long time and they have proven to, you know, help people.
They have proven to help people to be healed, set free, and delivered, but they have fallen off, okay?
And so because of that, the sheep have been displaced, they have been confused, and they don't know where to turn or who to trust, okay?
Or who to trust. Um, but the Lord said take heart because he is going to bring clarity. Clarity by separating the wheat from the tear so that you will know who you can and cannot trust. So it's going to be a distinct difference, okay? These are words that I released over the past 2 years. This, to me, this— for me, hearing this and reading this now is nothing new. I'm just giving you guys a refresher of things you probably already have already heard, right? God had the timeline for everything, y'all, and I'mma go into that in just a moment. Let's Give me just a moment, okay?
All right.
And so with that being said, um, if things begin to come out, um, whether it's in, you know, the secular world or in the body of Christ— the Lord began to minister to me last week and he said, the things that I desire, the things that I have allowed to be exposed, are things that I also desire to heal. And he said that to me because I've heard people who are in the secular world say that I'm being tormented, you know, I'm being, um, I'm broken, I'm, I'm not redeemable, right? I'm a lost cause. And God is saying, no, I desire to heal them too and for them to come into the sheepfold, right? So I begin to pray for those who are— some of them, honestly, I think about it now, they're prodigal sons. Like, they were believers before, but they had went off into the world because they thought the world could offer them more, right? And so God has a, a plan, y'all. He has a plan. And so for many of us who God has placed in certain positions, um, wherever you are, it's for a reason.
It might not make sense to you, but God is trying to set up the body of Christ to be able to catch these sheep, right?
Whether it's in marketplace ministry, whether it's at your church, no matter where you are— you a therapist, you a life coach, right, y'all?
We about to be busy, okay?
It's about to be on and popping, okay?
And God done show me that time and time again.
He's been building up my stamina, he's been building up, you know, my momentum, right? And it all got everything, y'all, everything for me to be prepared to do what he's called me to do, okay? Um, and so not only that, let me see. And then this will bless me, y'all, because whenever I— when God told me that, I just began to like— I was crying. My God, thank you, God. I began to pray and intercede for them. And then, um, he also told me, he said, many— even now, many people are healing because they are, you know, you know, on, um, you know, on the—
on, you know, on the line or at home looking at social media, whatever, and they're hearing different people's stories about what they've been through. And so it's healing them because they feel vindicated, they feel heard.
So what's happening is, here we are, we had the whistleblowers who were coming forward saying, this happened, that happened, this happened to me, and it's, it's horrific, it's horrible, right? People who are in the background, they're watching like, oh my God, I feel heard, God, I feel seen. And it's causing them to experience healing that way as well. And so healing happens in so many different ways. It's not just, you know, we're gonna, you know, just Prayer, prayer is definitely the vehicle, right? But what I'm saying is you can like hear somebody's testimony, you can hear somebody's story, you can go to therapy, you can do, you know, whatever God say you to do.
You can receive healing in so many different ways.
It could be a miracle where God would just do it to you spontaneously, right? I've experienced that too, where areas where I needed healing and it just happened, like God just performed a miracle for me out, out the blue. Then we have what we also call progressive miracles, where there's something that takes time, but that person will eventually be free. Okay, all right. And so the Lord said this, he said exposure serves honestly at least three purposes. The first one is he wants to rescue the hurting. Okay, the second one is he wants to clean up house and put in people, and, um, you know, people who can lead from his spirit, who can lead with excellence, who can lead with integrity and, and good character. Okay, and the third one is, you know, he wants to give the wicked time to repent. Okay, he wants to give them time to repent and obey whatever instruction God gives them to do in order to be fully restored. So God still desires to restore these people who have been wicked and who are being exposed today. All right, okay. And what I've noticed too is that the Lord has been exposing things in waves. It's been in waves. So you might see one famous person or organization, you know, being exposed, right? And you see people just going in back to back, back to back, back to back, back to back. Then that stops, then it's on to the next thing. So I noticed this pattern that's been going on, and y'all, that's God. Because here's the thing, once again, his timeline He cannot expose everything at one time, y'all. It will literally wipe us out. It will literally, you know, it will be like a— my God, it would just be— oh gosh, it would just be a chaos. It's already chaotic now, so imagine if God exposed everything at one time, y'all.
We could not handle that. We cannot handle that, okay?
It will be a hot mess, okay? And I noticed too is that people who have been exposed, people are still making excuses for them. And Lord is giving them a choice. So it is your choice, right? He like, okay, I'm showing you evidence, I'm showing you the facts, but people are still in denial. Now that doesn't mean that you have to like beat somebody over the head or beat them down or talk about them, put your mouth on them, but you do need to be aware of what's going on so you'll know who to listen to and who not to listen to. Because, you know, it's right now it's just like a big old like mixture of stuff going on and it's hard to decipher. So it's so important for us to take every everything we give to the Lord. And for me, I try my best to do that, okay? But so this is where it gets like heavy for me here, okay, with this word that God gave me tonight. So I— so some of you guys who follow me on social media, I have posted I had went to a conference about 2 weeks ago now in Raleigh, North Carolina, um, Pioneers Conference, by Dr.
Faith and her husband.
Y'all, God set me up, okay?
God set me up. Let me, let me tell you why.
I'm at a point in my walk with God and my ministry where I don't want to go anywhere if God is not sending me. I said, God, I don't want to waste no money. I don't want to waste my time.
I have a lot on my plate already. I, I need the funds that I do have to pay my bills, okay?
To pay for my business bills and my bills at home and continue to be what God's called me to be, y'all. It costs money and it costs time and energy. Okay, um, but God has graced me for it, but it's work, it's work, y'all. And so I'm at a point where, oh my God, I don't want to go anywhere else if you don't send me.
So the last conference I've been to, I've been to, that was like a 4-day thing for me was back in October 2022.
I went to Florida, okay. After I came back, the Lord told me, now this season, he didn't tell me how long, I want you to pour into your children, pour into your daughters, pour into your family, right? So I've been, you know, training them more, spending more time with them in the word, spending more time, you know, sharpening their gifts and praying into their future, praying into their destiny, their call. Their call— my children are called to ministry now, to be honest, okay? And to help build them up, right?
Um, and then, um, also build what God's calling me to build.
And I'm also working, I'm working full-time now as well, so I'm back in Marketplace as well. And I'm also building my ministry, you know, online, and also doing, you know, building the academy and so much more. Okay, so much more. It's God's grace, y'all. I promise you, it's God's grace. Okay, and discipline as well. And so, um, I remember coming back from the conference. Now, I was tired. I ain't gonna tell you, y'all, I was so wore out. And y'all, the conference exceeded my expectations. I was so glad that I went. I was so glad. God said, you're here to receive. I'm going to deposit some things into you. And y'all, he did. I said, don't have the language yet for all that he did. Only thing I know is that I said, Lord, what you're doing in this room for your people, you were setting us up for stuff that's years to come. That's years to come, okay? That was a heavy conference, y'all. I have never in my life experienced that before in my life, ever, okay? Now, I went to the conference back in, um, back in 2022, you know, same thing. It was glory. It was amazing. And it took me like over a week to like recalibrate. And even this time, it took me over a week to kind of like recalibrate. Like, you can't be in God's glory for 4 days straight and just come back to normal. That's not how it happened. It takes time for your spirit to kind of calm down, for your body to kind of get together. Like, I was out of it, I ain't gonna lie. I was like trying to work. Thank God for my husband. He was like picking up everything, the pieces. Like, I got you. Like, okay, I got the girl. Like, he was cooking, he was the one doing— I was trying my best, y'all. I was struggling, okay? I'm like, God, please help me get back, get back to reality, okay? Um, but anywho, I'm back, y'all. I'm back, I'm back. Um, and so when I got back, you know, I was telling my husband, I said, I feel like in my spirit, like a calmness. Like everything in my spirit felt like it was at a standstill. Not from the conference, but just like in the atmosphere. And you know, I'm a long-form content— I like looking at YouTube. I'm a YouTube person, okay? And so, um, I said, even on YouTube, things seem to be really quiet right now. I don't know why. Okay, so then like a day or two later, you know, I watched a live from a woman of God, and she was saying, you guys, she was like, we are in, um, a calmness. She said, she's like, do you sense that you're, that you having like this calmness right now in your spirit? And I'm like, oh my God, that's me! What is it?
What is it?
Right? And she said, we are in the eye of the storm. Okay, so we are in the calm before the storm continues. And so I said, I'm like, okay, God, okay. So I just kept in the back of my mind, like, wow, God. And then that's when everything begin to come out, like a few days later, about Daystar. Call them out, okay? I'm just saying, just saying, YouTube is full of it. And I'm like, oh my God, this is crazy. And then here we are again. It's another thing of late of things being uncovered. I don't know what's true, what's not true. I can, you know, I can discern some things, but I'm not gonna get into all that right now. As of right now, they're allegations, right? They're allegations., okay? Um, but it's definitely, from what I can see and discern, it's definitely truth to it there. All right, so here in the back of my mind, so tonight I'm writing this word out. Okay, God, I'm listening. What are you saying? He said, my God, he said all 2024 was like exposure, and that's like the front part of the storm, right? The front part of the storm that was coming over. America, over us. I would say the world, right? And then we got into the eye of the storm that I was feeling the calmness in, okay? And now things are picking back up. He said, now we moving over into judgment. I said, my God. I said, oh my God. When he said that, I just felt the weight of God just fall on me, okay? And so going into 2025, y'all, we're going to start to see God's judgment on people. And giving this word gives me no pleasure at all, okay? Before I got on, I had to get my emotions together because this is heavy, y'all. This is very serious. And I know people are saying, hey, pray for this person, pray, pray, pray, and I'm all for that, y'all. But there is a time where God will give people over to a reprobate mind because they will not listen. And so with that, I'm about to go in the scripture and go through some things to let you guys see and know you know, that God is a righteous judge and God has given people plenty of time to get it together and to repent. And so we're gonna go to Acts chapter 5, verses 1 through 11. We in New Testament. So for those of you who are saying that God's judgment and God's so gracious and loving, he's all those things, you know, but in the New Testament we have Christ. Yes, we do, we have Christ now.
Right?
And we can ask God to forgive. We can repent, meaning turning away from the things that you used to do. But God will still judge you in his timing if you do not stop what you're doing, especially when it's costing, um, pain, you know, causing pain on other people. Okay, so Acts 5, chapter 1 through 11, is about Ananias and Sapphira. Okay, I was just—
verse 5.
Uh, this is verse— oh, chapter 5, verse 1. Sorry. But a man named Ananias with his wife Sapphira sold a piece of property, and with his wife's knowledge, he kept back for himself some of the proceeds and brought only a part of it and laid it at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, 'Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land?' Verse 4: While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have, um, contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to man, but you have lied to God. So when Ananias heard these words, he fell down and breathed his last breath. And great fear came upon all who heard of it. The young men rose and wrapped him up and carried him out and buried him. Okay, this is a New Testament, y'all. He lied to the Holy Spirit. I don't know all the history of Ananias and what he did, y'all, but judgment fell upon him and he died. Verse 7: After an interval of about 3 hours, his wife came in not knowing what had happened. And Peter said to her, tell me whether you sold the land 'For so much?' And she said, 'Yes, for so much.' But Peter said to her, 'How is it that you have agreed— you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.' Immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last breath. When the young men came in, they found her dead and carried her out and buried her beside her husband. And great fear came upon the whole church and upon all who heard of these things. Y'all, when I read that, I said, my God, my God. So this is for people who keep saying that God will not allow calamity and bad things to happen to people who are wicked. And this is why it's so important that we are quick to listen and slow to respond, because we don't know everything. We do not know everything. Like, even in my own personal life, I have family members members that I didn't know things that they were doing.
And when things came out, my spirit, my heart was grieved. And I had been praying for them, but when I found out what they were doing, and I'm like, okay God, you're judging them now, because it's been about 5, 10 years now they've been doing all these things to people.
And so y'all, let me keep going. And so I also share with you real quickly my own personal testimony about my family. So some of you guys who know me, follow me for a while now, Um, my— I have a great aunt that passed away.
It's been a long time now, many years now, and she was evil, point blank period.
And she abused 3 generations, meaning that out of my great aunts and uncles— this is my grandmother's side, you know— my, my great— I guess my great-grandmother, she had like umpteen kids, like 15, 16, 18 kids, right? And my great aunt was evil to all of them. She was evil. The thing they told me that she done to them was evil. Then here comes my mom's generation, right?
My aunts and my aunt and my uncles.
She was evil to them, okay? That after my mom, you know, passed away, she took in me and my 4 siblings. She was evil to us. She was evil, okay? And so she ended up being, um, in a, um, nursing home Now by the time she got there, you know, God had already moved me and my siblings out of her home. I was with other family members at this point. And, um, long story short, she ended up like slowly deteriorating, meaning that first she lost her voice, she couldn't speak, right? She began to like lose like momentum, she couldn't walk, she couldn't do— it's like God allowed her to have this slow death, y'all. And I went to go see her one time when I was 19, and she was in the bed. She was, um, she couldn't talk, but she was like coherent. She was able to like see, of course, and hear, but she couldn't say anything. And when she saw me, she just bust out crying. She's like— she kept playing, and I was like— I went and sat beside her, and I was like, I forgive you. And I said, I love you. When I said that, she lost it. She lost it. Because I know for a fact that in that state, the Lord was allowing her to see the pain that she caused on all three generations. And she died like that. She died a slow, slow death, almost like a baby all over again. And that too grieved me because I'm like, Lord, I've seen your wrath. I know what your wrath can look like. Okay, it's only an example. All right, so I wanted to share that to like get you guys know I've seen it with my own eyes. Okay, and the Lord is like, he, he's not saying that every single person who's being judged is going to die. That's not what I'm saying. Okay, um, but it depends on God. God's a righteous judge, right? He knows all, he sees all. But what we can expect to see in the months to come, which is already happening now, but you're gonna see even the more is the motions. People be, um, you know, being removed. Um, the motions can look like, you know, people, you know, not being in a certain position anymore, whether it's in the body of Christ or whether it's in the secular world.
Um, even on social media, you begin to see people's numbers drop in their views.
So typically get a whole bunch of views, you'll begin to see those numbers drop more and more drastically. And y'all, it— I see it, I seen it, I seen it in the spirit.
Put it that way.
Um, people stepping down from positions, which is already happening now. You will see sickness. People will become delusional. They will begin to say things that is like contrary to the word of God even the more, but it will be clear and evident. Okay, you can be like, wait, wait a minute, like they don't, they don't even sound right. And they're gonna think that they are right when they're not right. Okay, I thought about Nebuchadnezzar. This is Old Testament for sure. But whenever he continued to just like mistreat God's children, you know, God gave him over, um, to— he went, he went delusional, he went cray cray for about 7 years, right? But then God restored him, okay? God can restore now. Once again, he can restore, um, but yeah, because he had judgment on him. He had judgment. He would not listen. He would not let God's people go, all right? All right, here's the next scriptures, you guys. This right here is Romans, um, chapter 8, verses 1 through 32. It's kind of long, but I feel led to read this because some of you guys are not going to go back and read it. So let me read it. Some of you guys will. All right, this is verse, um, this is— I'm sorry, Romans 8, chapter, uh, chapter 8, verse 18. Says the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. Meaning he has showed himself to them. They are familiar with him. They have heard about him and all that good stuff. Verse 21: For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Verse 22: Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. My God, y'all check out Halloween. You go back, look at people from Halloween, okay? Just like reptiles and, uh, like animals and reptiles. Verse 24: Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the, for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator, who is forever praised.
Amen.
My God. Verse 26: Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lust. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way, the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. Verse 28: Furthermore, just as they did not think it was worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind so that they do what they are— so they would do what they want to do. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossipers, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent ways of doing evil. They disobey their parents. They have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, and no mercy. Y'all, and we see this, we see it, okay? Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. All right, so a reprobate mind, you guys, is a mind that has become so tainted and hardened that it can no longer think correctly or separate good from evil. So people are, you know, doing evil, calling it good, and it's not good. So this term is used in the Bible in Romans 12:1 and 28. So every version of the Bible that might not say reprobate, it can have a different word. Okay, my God. So yeah, so the last I'm going to read here, this is— this right here for the body of Christ for sure. Um, 2 Peter Chapter 2, verses 1 through 22. This is the NIV version. All right, it's about false teachers and their destruction. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They were secretly— key word, secretly— introduced destructive heresies, even denying the Sovereign Lord who brought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their depraved, um, follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into, into disrepute. In their greed, these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping. And so when I read that, I'm just like, wow, like that goes back to deception. Many people do not know what's going on behind closed doors. They do not. And so they are slowly introducing, um, you to false doctrine, in a nutshell. And that's happening. I see it. I see that too. Verse 4: For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment, if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and 7 others If he condemned the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly, and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless— if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desires of the flesh and despise authority. They're bold and arrogant. They are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings. Yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from the Lord. But these people blaspheme in matters that do not— they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed. And like animals, they too will perish. Oh y'all, verse 13. They'll be paid back with harm for the harm they have done to others. Their idea of pleasure is to caress in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, revealing in their pleasures while they feast with you. So it's like they feasting with you, they teaching you, they talking everything right, it seems fine, but behind closed doors they are doing all these different things, right? Uh, with eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning. They seduce the unstable. They are experts in greed, an accursed brood. They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Bezer, who loved the wages of wickedness. But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey, an animal without speech, who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet's madness. My God, these people are springs without water and mist driven by storm. Blackest, darkest is reserved for them, for their mouth empty boastful words. And by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. They promise, they promise them freedom while they themselves are slaves of, of the property. But people are slaves to whatever has mastered them. Okay, I'm almost finished. If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. Okay, so yeah, when I read that, it— and I think NIV, it says that if a person comes into Christ, right, and they know who God is, but then they, you know, backslide and they become this evil, wicked person, it's worse off for them. It's better for you to have not known the Lord, to have not known, you know, righteousness, um, than to know him and then go and do evil things. All right, okay. And so verse 22 says here, make sure— of them the proverbs are true: a dog returns to its vomit, and a soul that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud. Okay, and so in the nutshell, God is judging everything, everything. God is judging generations. God is judging organizations. God is judging individuals. God is judging y'all. And I know many of us, we don't like that word. We don't want to hear that word. We don't want to see people that we love. I know I don't. People that I love for a fact, God didn't show me certain things about. I'm like, oh my God, oh my God., and it breaks my heart. And so again, this gives me no pleasure at all whatsoever. My prayer for the past 2 years has been, Lord, please, I pray that God, they'll repent, that they'll get it together. Because I think about not only just that person, but even their family, their family who loves them, right? That's— it's embarrassing, okay? And so also, Lord said, nothing will be hidden, nothing will be hidden. Yes, that's all I have, um, for tonight. Um, the Lord really wanted me to come up here and just share that once again in the summary for other you who are coming up here now. In the second half of the storm is going to be judgment, okay? We done passed the eye of the storm, and now we are about to go in 2025. You're going to see more exposure, but you're also going to see judgment, okay? And so I'm praying for you, I'm praying for those who have been hurt, I'm praying even for those who have done wicked wicked thing, that you will repent, that you will, you know, allow God to do a work in your heart. Um, like, it's not worth it. It's, it's not worth it. It's not worth it. All right, so let me look at my comments real quickly on Instagram. All righty, so I'm going to pray and then I'm going to get off, and I will see you guys later on this week. I'll be going live again to really share an encouraging word also for Christian leaders.
Okay.
So Father, I just thank you, uh, for your word on tonight. Father, I just pray, God, that the word was, um, did not fall on deaf ears. And I pray that your people are more aware and they're listening, Lord God, um, to the people that you have sent to speak your word, God, in and out of season. I pray, God, um, that your people will repent. They will come to you with their whole hearts, God, um, to get everything right with your help, God. God, we are all sinners, God. We all fall short. And Father, remind us, God, that your grace is sufficient in all things, God. Whatever whatever we're battling with, whatever we are toiling with, Father, you can help us, God, to overcome that through your Son Christ Jesus. And so, God, I just pray, God, even for those that you are, um, raising up, Lord God, I pray, God, for those, um, those new leaders, God, the ones who have been around for a while who are doing the right thing, that, God, they will continue to fight the good fight of faith, that, God, they would not compromise, they would not back down, and they would speak with thus says the Lord. So, God, we love you, I give you honor, I give you glory, and I give you praise. Christ's name I pray, amen, amen. So it's all I have, um, and I will see you guys later on this week. All right, bye.
