Hey everyone, Dr. Michael Carey here, and as we step into 2026, it's more important than ever that we understand the times that we're living in

because the signs that Jesus spoke about in Matthew 24, deception, upheaval, and global shaking are unfolding right in front of us.

And they're all signs that point to the soon return of Jesus

Christ. But incredibly, the prophet Daniel tells us that it's God who changes the times and seasons,

and that he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding, meaning that neither history nor current events

or random happenings.

They aren't being driven by governments.

They're not being driven by economies or by global agendas.

They're directed by the hand of God, and that all revelation into these things is directly

connected to our willingness to discern and understand what he's already done.

In other words, the movement of God on this earth can be understood,

but only by those who are willing to look, and if you're not paying attention, you're going to miss it.

So if God is the one who changes the times and seasons,

then everything that we're seeing, every shift in culture, every global crisis,

and every significant headline is part of God's prophetic purpose in these last days.

And in light of this, we need to be focused on the things that matter most.

And because of this, and this sense of urgency in my heart,

I've been seeking the face of God for a deeper understanding into what

he's saying to us as believers right now. And what I keep hearing is that we need the oil of the

spirit in our lives more than ever. And if you've ever wondered what it means to live prepared

for his coming, then stay with me,

because we're going to unpack what Jesus said.
