If you ask people to list the top priorities in their lives, you’ll probably get a lot of thoughtful and inspirational answers. But if you really want to know what their top priorities are, you have to look at their financial records. The way people use their money is one of the best indicators of where their priorities lie.
Jesus explained it this way: “Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be” (Luke 12:34 NLT). The reality is that we all invest in our passions. If you want to find out what people are truly passionate about, follow the money.
God certainly does. Not because He needs our money, but because everything we have ultimately comes from Him. Not only does He supply our needs, but He also expects us to be wise stewards of our resources, which are actually His resources.
Jesus isn’t asking for fair-weather followers or people seeking to improve their lives; He’s calling for true disciples who are willing to count the cost of what it means to follow Him.
This call goes far beyond, “I’m going to give up chocolate for Lent,” or “I’ll work to read my Bible a little more.” Jesus says, “Let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me” (Luke 9:23 ESV). Deny ourselves and take up our cross daily. Give up everything we call our own. Not just on Sundays. Not just on the days we feel like it.
Often, this will fight against our human ambition and selfish desires, because so much of the world tries to feed us the opposite message: Work for you! Earn and enjoy the luxuries of life because you deserve it!
But what if we knew that the things we hold are standing in the way of the best and greatest treasures?

@greglaurie Our whole heart and our whole existence every second of the day. “I need you Father, please don’t let me slip and fall. In your precious name Jesus, amen.”
Thank you Greg and Cathe for your leadership.
@newstart_2024 Iyov is my mortal role model. Jesus is my King and Savior. I’m so thankful for that roadmap and that I don’t have to experience what he experienced. Period.
🚨‼️According to the Bible, these are not “aliens from outer space.”
The Bible already gives us the categories: angels, fallen angels, devils, principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places.
Some are still in the heavens awaiting their appointed casting down. Revelation 12 shows the dragon and his angels being cast down to the earth. Others are already reserved in chains of darkness. Others come out of the bottomless pit. And Revelation 9 speaks of four angels bound in the great river Euphrates being loosed during the Tribulation.
So when the world says “non-human intelligence,” the Bible believer should not fall out of his chair. We already knew there were non-human intelligences. We just do not call them our creators, our space brothers, or benevolent visitors.
If they show up from above, below, the sea, the pit, or wherever God allows them to manifest, the issue is not “Are they aliens?”
The issue is: what spirit are they of, and what gospel are they preaching?
If they attack Genesis, deny Jesus Christ, rewrite creation, or preach another gospel, Galatians 1:8 already answered them.
They are not aliens.
They are part of the old rebellion with new branding.
No surprise Hollywood and Steven Spielberg have an upcoming movie called Disclosure Day. We have been groomed for years. Prepare for the great deception. Jesus I’m ready for you to come back!
🔊Church: BE READY!!! THE STRONG DELUSION IS HERE! The infrastructure for that lie is being assembled right now — publicly — through presidential directives, congressional hearings, and Pentagon case files! The cover-up story for the Rapture is already here! The so-called “alien” disclosure files are about to come out!
These are not extraterrestrials!!! They are principalities and powers, fallen angels, Satan’s servants, whose agenda has always been to deceive humanity and draw people away from God!!!
We were warned about this deception. Paul wrote about it 2,000 years ago!!! Before this great deception reaches its peak — before the strong delusion falls upon this world — GOD TAKES HIS PEOPLE HOME!!! JESUS IS AT THE DOOR!!! KEEP LOOKING UP!!!
📖 "The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan with all power signs and lying wonders — and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion that they should believe the lie." 2 Thess 2:9-11
🗞️ There are claims circulating that U.S. intelligence officials may have privately briefed a large group of pastors regarding UFO/UAP disclosure. Perry Stone and other Christian leaders have stated publicly that they were included in confidential briefings through government or intelligence contacts. According to these claims, they were encouraged to prepare their congregations for potential future releases of UFO/UAP-related files, videos, and materials, as well as discussions involving “non-human” intelligence.
👉🏼These pastors described the information as potentially “Bible-changing” or “science-fiction-like,” warning it could lead some people to abandon their Christian beliefs (apostasy) by challenging the Genesis creation account —suggesting extraterrestrials as the origin or “seeding” of humanity.
The Bible did not miss this moment! Paul described it precisely 2,000 years ago.
📖 "The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan with all power signs and lying wonders " 2 Thessalonians 2:9
⚠️Signs and lying wonders. A deception so convincing that people who rejected the truth will embrace it completely. Paul was not describing technology. He was not describing weather balloons. He was describing a supernatural deception — real enough to fool the world — powerful enough to cause mass apostasy — exactly what these pastors are warning about.
❌The strong delusion is not a new idea. It was announced 2,000 years ago. The Church has always known it was coming. What is new is that the infrastructure for it is now being built publicly — in government domains, congressional hearings, presidential directives, and Pentagon case files.
WHAT JESUS SAID TO WATCH FOR
📖 "As it was in the days of Noah so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man." Matt 24:37
👉🏼Jesus did not just point to general wickedness when He described the days of Noah. He pointed to a specific condition described in Genesis 6 — fallen spiritual beings interacting with humanity in ways that corrupted the created order so severely that God intervened. The Nephilim!!
🎙️That is not a metaphor. That is a specific prophetic sign Jesus told us to watch for. We are watching it being discussed openly at the highest levels of the American government — not in the corners of the internet!
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN
👉🏼Before the rapture, we’re going to see governments beginning normalizing the idea of “non-human intelligence,” with UAPs, whistleblowers, videos, and reports of interdimensional phenomena. Then the rapture will happen, with millions of people disappearing at once, creating global shock and urgent pressure for an explanation. The explanation will be quickly presented and will point to “higher beings,” suggesting that those who vanished were taken by advanced or non-human intelligences—perhaps described as the “unevolved,” the “dangerous,” or those not aligned with a new “global consciousness”.
🌍As the world tries to process the event, the narrative will not be framed as the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, but as humanity entering a new evolutionary or spiritual phase. That is when the Antichrist will arrive as the perfect global stabilizing figure, bringing “order,” “peace,” and “answers” to the world.
💪🏼Then Satan’s long-awaited moment will come. He will make Christianity appear outdated or misunderstood, claiming that Jesus was “misrepresented” or that spiritual concepts like “Christ consciousness” were actually introduced through these entities. Over time, he will achieve what he wants, and his narrative will harden people’s hearts, making the deception widely accepted.
👉🏼So the “strong delusion” would not simply be belief in aliens, but a deeper replacement of truth—where the rapture is denied, Jesus is rejected, Scripture is dismissed, and humanity is directed toward a new global spiritual system that fully opposes the message of the gospel.
Right now, during the disclosure, two things will happen in the Church.
1️⃣ Some Christians will struggle. When people see footage or documentation of non-human phenomena that they have no biblical explanation for, some may conclude that the creation story is a myth. Some will harden their hearts and apostatize— in other words, they will walk away from the faith because they have no answer for what they are seeing. They will reject the truth because they choose to believe the lie.
2️⃣Some unbelievers will be looking for answers. People who never cared about the Bible will suddenly want to know what Scripture says about what they just witnessed and we, the church, need to be prepared to answer questions.
THE RAPTURE COVER STORY
This is how close we are to the Rapture!!! This is the perfect cover-up story and is about to unfold!! When millions of people suddenly disappear simultaneously, the world will need an explanation.
🛸The world will not say God took His Church home. This world has been programmed for years with UAP disclosure — non-human intelligences. TV, movies and video games have already shaped the narrative for decades.
🔊 CHURCH — HERE IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO RIGHT NOW:
When the files drop — and they are coming — your unbelieving neighbors will have questions. Your children will have questions. Your coworkers will have questions. People who never opened a Bible will be looking for someone who can make sense of what they just saw.
📙We need to give them the right answer!! The answer is not complicated. The answer is in the Bible.
These are not extraterrestrials. They are what the Bible calls principalities and powers — fallen spiritual beings — whose agenda has always been the same — to deceive humanity and draw people away from the God who created them and the Savior who died for them.
📖 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this age against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." Eph 6:12
That verse was written 2,000 years ago. It is describing exactly what is being disclosed right now.
🔊PREACH THE GOSPEL!! PREACH THAT BEFORE THE GREAT DECEPTION REACHES ITS PEAK— before the strong delusion falls — before the Lord brings judgment into this world on those who have rejected Jesus and chosen to believe the lie, before the world is in full-blown deception mode — GOD TAKES HIS PEOPLE HOME!!
📖 "For God did not appoint us to wrath but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thess 5:9
📖 "The dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air." 1 Thess 4:16-17
KEEP LOOKING UP!!! WE HAVE VERY SHORT TIME LEFT!!!!
Maranatha! 🤍Come, Lord Jesus, COME!!!
@JakeSucky Be the light Tim and set the better example. Yes I understand where he is coming from but he also can set an example. Oh wait no he’s throwing out explicit language just as bad as the people he complains about. Bring Jesus back in your life Tim. It’s that simple.
