Pastor Jim & Lori Bakker give Pastor Jim’s Message for 2012: Confusion for Day 3 on The Jim Bakker Show
Quotes
Every Christian must know what God is saying. God does not change his mind. -Pastor Jim Bakker
Narrative
God has given Pastor Jim Bakker a very specific direction for 2012. There are several words that God has given to Pastor Jim, the first being confusion. The second word that God has given him is explosions. He believes these are in direct correlation with the Four Horses of the Apocalypse and the end of times.
Part of the problem with Americans is they have not followed the Bible and His holy commandments. In the book of Deuteronomy, there are more than fifty three curses that are listed for those who will not follow God. America has handed out trillions of dollars and they print money, but still it is not enough. People who are hurting will steal from one another and no one will save them. There are many homes that have been built that people have constructed but they are not living in them because they cannot afford them. These events tie in direct correlation with Deuteronomy 28:30. Pastor Jim expects riots to come, especially over food and the shortage of supply. This is one reason why he feels we must create a storehouse for the upcoming days. It is time for the church to buckle down and prepare for hard times. Jesus also said that everything will be shaken and Pastor Jim encourages people to protect their minds with prayer and fasting. According to Luke 21:25 “men’s minds will fail them for fear.” America needs to wake up and turn to God.
Everything that God has said in His word has come true. People have been turned over to a reprobate mind. When we see the curses that take place in Deuteronomy come to pass, we need to take them as signs. Pastor Jim admits that it is tough to preach such delicate material and some preachers will not preach the end times because people will leave the church. Pastor Jim takes a stand on the end times and makes no apologies to anyone. In the book of Deuteronomy it not only has the blessings but the cursings for not following God.
The events of 9/11 directly tie into the end time Bible prophecy. Even in the Old Testament, current day Bible prophecy can still be found. The same people that destroyed Israel all those years ago are part of the same people coming after America. When people think of Bible prophecy they do not usually consider Deuteronomy, but it is packed with things concerning the end times.
The antichrist is coming and the mark of the beast is real. It is time for the American people to realize that the stories that have been told for years regarding the market will soon unfold before our eyes. Like the story of the wise and foolish virgins, people in this country are not aware of what is going on. Those who make preparations for the future will be the ones who can take care of their families. It is those who store foods and those who have storage of water will be able to survive. Pastor Jim pleads with everyone to understand the delicate times we are living in. The events of 9/11 were merely a precursor to the events that are coming. It is not going to be to the swift or the mighty but rather he that endures until the end. It’s time for the church to stand up and to prepare for the end times not only for salvation but also for protection during the end times.

With both hands they are doing evil. Rulers ask for money, and judges’ decisions are bought for a price. Rich people tell what they want, and they get it. Even the best of them is like a thornbush; the most honest of them is worse than a prickly plant. The day that your watchmen warned you about has come. Now they will be confused. Don’t believe your neighbor or trust a friend. Don’t say anything, even to your wife.
