I. The Ministry's Foundation and Mission

• Divine Calling and Impartation: Pastor Lamont Roberts introduces himself as "one called not according to the will of man but of God," emphasizing a divine calling and the ministry's goal to provide "an impartation of grace and apostleship so that you may be established in the knowledge of God by understanding Present truth."

• Vision of Kingdom Teachers: The core mission is "teaching and preaching the good news of God" with a "vision of raising up kingdom teachers to infiltrate and influence the seven kingdoms of the world according to the doctrine of the father."

• Congregational Role: Born-again believers are identified as integral to this mission: "if you are a born-again believer, you are the witness and you are the preacher, you are the teachers, you are it."

• Global Reach: The ministry actively connects with listeners worldwide, including Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Pakistan, Sweden, Ireland, and across the USA.

II. Dispelling Superstition and Embracing Progress

• Critique of Fear and Superstition: The sermon directly challenges traditional fears within religious communities regarding technology and "silly superstitions." Apostle Keith states, "the preachers need to be in God's future. Don't be so spiritual that you're afraid of technology." He criticizes blaming the devil for technological advancements (e.g., TV, radio, cell phones, computers) and ridicules "moving in superstition and stupidition," citing examples like bad luck from breaking mirrors or hitting feet with brooms.

• Learning from Past Teachings: The discussion references a previous sermon titled "Who Made the Image Talk," highlighting a deep dive into challenging preconceived notions and opening "eyes to some people.

III. Understanding End Times Prophecy (Revelation 13:1-18)

• The Two Beasts of Revelation: The sermon delves into Revelation 13, describing "two beasts that rise up during the end of time."

• First Beast: Represents "a worldwide kingdom or leaders empowered by Satan." It symbolizes "a political power that rule with power and also rule with violence," characterized by "pride and blasphemy against God."

• Second Beast: Described as "a false prophet or spiritual leader." It "looks good on the outside but full of lies on the inside," leading people "into false worship and uses... miracles to deceive."

• The Presence of Saints in the End Times: Contrary to some beliefs, the sermon asserts that "some saints will be here still at the end of time," citing Philippians 4:21 and 1 Corinthians 1:1-2. Saints are defined as "the saints that are in Jesus Christ," emphasizing that believers may not be "caught up and gone before this happens."

• Staying Spiritually Alert: The primary method for spiritual alertness is "worshipping God and worshiping God alone."

IV. The Three Final Questions and Urgent Call to Action (Matthew 24)

• The Central Questions: The sermon's "hot topic" revolves around "the final questions for fatal time: What will you say when time runs out?" These questions are drawn from Matthew 24:

1. "When shall these things be?"

2. "What shall be the sign of thy coming?"

3. "And the end of the world?"

• Valuing Life and Time: A core message is "When you value your life, you value your time." The speakers lament that despite knowing "it won't be long," people "still walk like we have all day," moving in circles rather than truly progressing.

• "What Have You Reduced God To?": Apostle Keith poses a profound question, "What have you reduced God to?" He likens Israel's complaints in the wilderness (longing for "onions and leaks" over God's provision) to modern believers who reduce God to mundane desires or lose their way in spiritual wilderness, leading to infighting and not knowing "what to preach."

• The Pervasiveness of Deception: Subtle Deception: Deception is identified as "interwoven" into the last times, often subtle and distracting from the Kingdom. "The things we do that have nothing to do with the kingdom is a form of deception."

• False Anointing and Preaching: The sermon warns against mistaking good singing or oratorical skill for true anointing. It differentiates between "Logos" (the foundational, written word) and "Rhema" (the spoken, current word of God), stressing the need for both to avoid deception. "Does God come in your congregation and speak or are you still living on the residue and the breath of some preachers last expression?"

• Self-Deception: "the worst deception is self-deception," where individuals fail to see their own state of spiritual compromise.

• Blacklisting Truth-Tellers: Those who "expose the hidden works of darkness" are often "blacklist[ed]" because people prefer not to hear about "sin" or "redemption."

• Wars, Rumors, and Natural Disasters are NOT the End: Matthew 24:6-7 is heavily emphasized: "And you shall hear of wars and rumor of wars. And don't you be troubled... For all these things must come to pass... but the end is not yet."

• Apostle Keith repeatedly stresses, "It's not the end," despite famines, pestilence, and earthquakes. These are merely "the beginning of sorrows."

• This debunks common eschatological interpretations that equate current global crises directly with the imminent end, calling them "rumors" and urging listeners not to base their "eschatology on a war and a rumor."

• The True Sign of the End: Global Gospel Preaching: The singular, definitive sign of the end is stated clearly: "And this gospel of the kingdom... shall be preached in all the world... for a witness unto all nations... and then shall the end come." (Matthew 24:14)

• This is presented as the only "litmus test" for the wrapping up of time.

• The ministry's global reach, facilitated by tools like AI, is seen as directly contributing to the hastening of the end: "AI helps us to do something. You know what AI does? It helps us preach the gospel all around the world."

• Endurance and Action: Believers are still "here with our brethren that are of Israel. We all in this together."

• The imperative is to "Occupy till I come," which is defined as a "military strategy" to "take the land, possess the land and then you occupy it. Cause your culture to come into their culture and take over."

• The sermon challenges believers who "delay the coming" by being "too afraid to deal with the world," instead wasting time convincing "stubborn" fellow believers or engaging in "frivolous" activities.

• Faith, endurance, and continuous love are critical: "You have to stay faithful even when life gets hard. Don't quit praying. Don't stop trusting in God. Keep... your love alive."

• The ultimate responsibility lies in being a "doer" of the word, not just a "hearer," to avoid deception. The goal is to "just need to preach it in all the world," irrespective of individual salvation responses, as long as "God had a witness in all the earth."

V. Practical Application and Closing Thoughts

• Self-Reflection: The sermon calls for self-examination, especially regarding self-deception and personal spiritual "coldness."

• Spiritual "Rehab": If one's body or spirit is unresponsive to God, it may require "spiritual rehab" to "learn how to move all over again."

• Messenger of Hope: Believers are encouraged to "be a messenger of hope," with their lives reflecting Jesus through love, service, and speech.

• Ministry Platforms: The importance of Substack for detailed briefings and a new YouTube platform, "Kingdom Life," featuring "fictional characters with a real message," are highlighted as avenues for spreading the word.

• Urgency without Panic: The message conveys urgency ("Won't be long now") but not panic, emphasizing that God is waiting for us to fulfill His command to preach the Gospel globally before the end comes. "God is waiting for us to do what he said do. Get it out all over the world."
