Who would think that mentally ill and addicted people can put a tent on the sidewalk in front of your house, shoot up with drugs, and leave human excrement there Dailey? Who would’ve thought that young children would be exposed to Books on pornography and homosexual activities in their school libraries? Who would’ve thought we would have a president who has serious difficulties for sentences, or an elected US senator who can’t communicate effectively? Who would’ve thought that garage attendant was attacked by a thief with a gun, and then the confrontation, the attendant was able to get the bad guys gun, who was shot in the struggle, that the good guy would be charged with a crime? Who would’ve thought that if shoplift items were under $1000 you will likely face no consequences? There is an irrationality that has been released on major segments of our culture.

As I reflect on my 71 years of life, I've encountered invaluable lessons that have shaped my journey and purpose. These revelations, gleaned from my own successes and more importantly, my failures, are not just personal milestones but universal truths every believer should comprehend and apply in their life. In an effort to share these insights and help others navigate their own paths, I hosted a special Zoom meeting titled, "7 Important Things I Learned that Allowed Me to Fulfill My Purpose" last night. These lessons were illuminated to me through my experiences, and I found that they align with the journeys of many biblical figures and can be found as scriptural principles I found in the Bible. The Bible mentions inheritance 237 times, underscoring the significance of fulfilling the purposes for which God placed us on this earth. I am driven to receive my full inheritance, and I imagine you share that desire.

If you live life long enough, you’re going to find yourself pinned against the wall of life-altering circumstances. I’ve been thinking about this topic for awhile and decided to examine many of God’s leaders in the Bible to see how they navigated their own life-altering circumstances. It’s a fascinating study. I looked at Moses, Elijah, Elisha, the widow who was bankrupt, and many others. I think you will find this week’s TGIF@Work podcast worth listening to.

If you want to have influence, you’ll do this one thing that Jesus did. If you want others to see you as a valuable person, you will do this one thing.

If you want to transform your community, you will do this one thing. “What is the one thing?” you say?

CBDCs connects all the other technologies that globalist bankers need for total control and that would include movement passports such as COVID passports, but ultimately it really comes down to the money. So, we are aware of China’s social credit score system, where basically your entire life is in this app and if you're a good citizen you get more credits and if you're a bad citizen you get less credits. They've been doing this for many years and if you say anything bad or negative against government your social credit score goes down and if your credit score goes and you can't buy things like plane tickets or bus tickets or things like that canceling your kids access to college or whatever it may be. So what they are ultimately doing is using an app to restrict you, but how do they restrict you with the payments? They don't allow you to buy a plane ticket or buy a bus ticket or buy food so it all comes down to the money, which is why that's the final piece that they need. This week we will discuss CBDCs and more in our TGIF@Work Podcast.

There are two terms we are hearing more and more about today in the financial markets -- centralization and de-centralization. We are hearing these terms related to the financial markets and more specifically, the crypto markets. Centralization of the financial markets means the financial markets – stock trading, banking, and investments are regulated by the SEC or the FDIC supposedly to protect you, the consumer. Decentralization refers to the fact Bitcoin and related crypto markets have no regulation by banks or governments. Crypto traders believe it is a means of protecting one’s assets from the overreach of government. Countries and especially the US are beginning to implement plans to address their inability to regulate decentralized platforms. However, this may be harder to do than they think. Decentralization is happening worldwide and cannot be controlled by one country. But that doesn't mean they won’t try. Join Os Hillman in this week’s TGIF@Work Podcast as Os explains the unfolding developments in decentralized finance and it’s impact on you.

Wokeism. Christian persecution. Wars. Sexual perversions. Socialism. One world order. Computer chip implants. What does all of this tell us? It tells us we are living in the last days. The Bible is an incredible prophetic book that reveals the mysteries of the days of long ago and the days that are yet to come. But how does one decipher some of the complex dates, times, prophecies to understand the times we live, and if they point to the return of Christ? Doug Cobb has given us a road map in his new book, And the End Will Come. In this book Doug explains in easy-to-understand language the history of Christ’s first coming and how it was predicted in the Old Testament and how there are indicators that reveal when Christ will return the second time. Doug is quick to remind us that no one can give the actual time when Christ will return, but we can certainly know the season and how close we are to fulfilling all the conditions for His return. In this book Doug reveals … • The prophetic scriptures that revealed the time Jesus would come to earth the first time. • Why Israel and its people are key to the return of Christ. • Why we can understand the season that Christ will return with certainty. • Why sharing the Gospel with every human on earth is key to his return with an update on where we are in this assignment. • Why we should not be surprised about what is taking place right now in our culture. This is a must read for every serious believer! I did a personal interview with Doug that you will receive when you order the book. You won’t get this from Amazon!

The Bible says that we are to understand the signs of the times. I fear many in the body of Christ are sleeping. The world is quickly changing and you will be left behind if you don’t take notice. In this particular case, I am speaking about what is taking place in the cryptocurrency universe. It’s a fast-moving train that many have simply resigned themselves to not understanding so they check out. As a believer, you cannot do that and be relevant in the world. This past December Brett King gave an amazing talk on the Future of Banking at the 2021 Cryptocurrency International Conference in Abi Dahbi. Believe me, this was an eye-opening presentation! Every person should watch this presentation. I’ve watched it several times. At the conclusion of every year the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders gather at end of each year. They pray the New Year in and share what they sense the Lord is saying to the body of Christ. I found some of what they said confirming what I believe is going on in the financial markets. “The Technology Revolution – We are in the midst of one of the greatest revolutions since the industrial revolution. This revolution will be in the “unseen spaces” of the Metaverse and Web 3. Over the next few decades, the use of AI (artificial intelligence) and AR (augmented reality), using at this point technology such as Oculus, will drastically change the world as we know it. The introduction of robotics into our everyday lives will take place. God will give His people new ideas on how to create jobs and be on the cutting edge of developing jobs that will result in the promised transfer of wealth. Generation Z will experience a movement of holiness. They will be so fervent before God that it will provoke the generations before them to join in with their consecration. New waves of technology will be used that will result in hundreds of thousands of genuine conversions through the use of social media, such as Tik Tok and other new innovative tools. There are many new technological breakthroughs coming that will involve the Metaverse and Web 3, as well as crypto currency. Believers will become students of such things, and God will begin to put Christians on the fore-running edge of these technologies. There was an admonition not to demonize these new technologies. They are neutral in and of themselves. Even though there is potential to use them for evil, we need to understand how to use them for good for the Gospel’s sake. The possibilities of using AR for things such as training for surgery, etc., are many. This technology revolution will produce a great decentralization of the way we have done things in the past. Many structures will experience a decentralization. It will be important to discern when God is causing the structures to decentralize as opposed to Satan trying to break up and scatter structures. This will involve the economies of nations as well. The way we buy and sell will dramatically change over the next few years on an even larger scale than it already has. God will raise up a young generation who are “futurists”, or are very prophetic in their abilities to function in the world of crypto-currency, and great wealth will be created for the Kingdom of God. It’s time for the Daniels and Josephs – We have released words about God raising up Daniels and Josephs who will prosper in whatever political climates, as well as financial climates, may come in the future.”

“See, I am setting before you the way of life and the way of death.” Then, in Matthew 7:14, Jesus said: “But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” The word “life” in both verses is the very thing you’re looking for every day, in everything you do—true and lasting happiness, peace, security, and love. Jesus also said He came down from heaven to satisfy the thirst and hunger of our hearts forever. In Psalm 16:5-11, David reveals one of the greatest offers of all time: that it’s God’s desire to reveal the path to true Life—a Life full of pleasure, peace, fulfillment, and joy! So, why did Jesus say only a few ever find the path to Life? Find out this week in our TGIF@Work Podcast interview with author, Mark Shattuck. IN THIS WEEK’S INTERVIEW … • You’ll discover what Jesus actually meant regarding abundant Life. I’m pretty sure you’ve never heard this one before—and it’s better than you think! • You’ll learn the one thing every person gets wrong that prevents them from finding abundant Life. • You’ll learn why God requires adversity to give you what you desire the most—how adversity is the fast track to abundant Life! • You’ll discover 7 reasons why God leads people into wilderness experiences (yes, He does that) in order to reveal their promise land of abundant Life!
