“What in the world is going on?!”
Maybe this is you every time you watch the news or scroll through social media.
If I was a betting man, I’d say you’ve probably said this very thing yourself.
I write to you with one of the most important messages I’ve ever shared. Before I get into the details, I need to help you understand how we are relying on God to lead and guide us every step of the way, just like it has always been at Endtime Ministries.
God Gravity
My wife Kate and I live in North Texas where there are pools on essentially every corner, including at my mother’s house. My mom’s home is just a block from our home, which is particularly convenient on those hot summer days. Our children, Brady (6), Shiloh (4) and Rosie (2) don’t know how to swim. When we go to Papaw and Nana’s house, we are on high alert keeping them away from the water. If you had to guess, where would you think my kids want to go the entire time we are visiting their home? It doesn’t matter if it is 100 degrees outside or if it’s a cold Christmas morning; keeping them away from the edge of the pool is next to impossible.
So, this summer we decided to teach them how to swim. While very nervous, they became familiarized with the water in just a few minutes and were having fun IF my wife or I were holding them. On the second day of learning to swim, my oldest decided he was ready to jump from the edge of the pool into my arms. However, when it came time to take the leap, he couldn’t find the courage to go for it. He stood at the edge of the pool squirming and kept saying, “Catch me, Papa!” After 10 minutes, I became frustrated and said, “I can’t catch you if you won’t jump. TRUST ME! I will catch you!”
As I reflected on that moment, my mind went to Jesus and the times we peek over the daunting edge of an opportunity that He has set before us, yet we are frozen with hesitation. Perhaps resources or relationships feel like they are exiting your life and no matter what you try, you can’t keep hold of them and as a result, fear or anxiety has settled in your mind. This is the lifestyle of a man-constructed culture and how the world lives their life.
Our Father wants YOU to live inside the Kingdom culture.
One aspect of the Kingdom culture is operating with the principle of God Gravity. What is God Gravity? Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
This is a very powerful text. Jesus isn’t declaring we become irresponsible but rather that we arrange our priorities appropriately. Too many people are seeking for tomorrow’s gain or the necessities of life FIRST. However, if we get our priorities in order and seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness FIRST in all aspects, everything else will fall into place.
Inside the Kingdom culture is an ecosystem that is contradictory to the systems of this world which seek acquisition, recognition or sensation.
• The rich young ruler couldn’t get out of acquisition mode.
• Some that followed Jesus “loved the praises of men more than the praises of God” and couldn’t get out of recognition mode.
• The Bible tells us in the end time there will be people who have a greater appetite for pleasures than God and they won’t be able to get out of the sensation mode.
You and I have been pulled away from these modes and we live in the Kingdom culture where there is a God Gravity that’s pulling everything to us that belongs, and moving away everything that’s not supposed to be in our care!
With God Gravity, you can trust God even when you can’t track Him and won’t have to fight for or stress over things. Everything you are supposed to have will come to you.
If you do an honest self-evaluation and can truly say you are seeking FIRST the Kingdom and His righteousness, no matter your present circumstances or how daunting things seem to be, you can leap from the edge of where you are today knowing your Heavenly Father will care for you. In these end times, we must level up and live with confidence in the Kingdom culture and trust in God Gravity.
Irvin Baxter’s Vision
Our founder and my grandfather, Irvin Baxter, was the epitome of trusting God Gravity. He told us the day would come when headlines would be dominated by stories of war, political upheaval and technological advancements that challenge our very understanding of freedom and privacy. In fact, back in 2008, he warned us that he saw the day coming when some of the radio stations and television networks would even remove Endtime Ministries from their platforms to censor our message. Back then, that seemed impossible but became much more of a reality when we started experiencing online censorship on all the major social media platforms and search engines.
Irvin said one day we would have to launch our own network.
With the help of the late Marcus Lamb and the Daystar TV engineers, and many of you praying and giving financially, we designed and built our studio at the Endtime headquarters in Plano, Texas, with the idea in mind that one day it would be used for 24/7 programming. Years of laboring would pass which included launching the Jerusalem Prophecy College in Jerusalem, Israel, and online, as well as many other global-impacting projects. However, it wasn’t until 2020 that we would launch Endtime+ — our streaming service with nine major apps including Apple, Android and Roku, to name a few. This was launched with the idea in mind it would be our network where we could feature new shows and introduce you to hosts that you could trust to shine light into the darkness on a variety of subjects, not just Bible prophecy. Unfortunately, 10 months after launching Endtime+, Irvin passed away and we were never able to expand like he had envisioned. Our consultants told us to prepare for a 40-60% reduction in giving due to losing our founder and primary face of Endtime.
Three weeks after he passed, one of the large Christian television networks canceled our show with a few days’ notice. Our consultants said you now will lose 40% of the giving and plan for more like a 60% reduction. We trusted in God Gravity above everything else and we were determined to fulfill our God-given purpose. The Lord will provide.
In February 2021, three months after Irvin’s passing, North Texas experienced the worst winter storm in our history. Our team was stranded at home and a sprinkler pipe burst in our ceiling and flooded our primary office space and studio of about 15,000 square feet. Our entire team was displaced and forced to adjust to unexpected changes. We continued to trust in God Gravity and we took on this project with the idea in mind that God had greater plans than we could imagine.
Marcus Lamb’s Funeral
One year after Irvin passed away, Marcus Lamb, the founder and leader of Daystar Television passed unexpectedly as well. I, along with my mom, Judy Baxter and Dave Robbins, went to his funeral. As I sat in the service in a reserved section alongside Daystar programmers like Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen, it was evident the Spirit of the Lord was working as I heard how the Lord miraculously led and provided for Marcus and Joni to launch and grow Daystar. In an instant the Lord spoke to me as clearly as He ever has saying, “Look across the audience at the ministries represented here that are collectively teaching My Word to billions of people daily. That was possible because Marcus and Joni sacrificed and followed My leading. I have given you the vision and the means to do the same and you haven’t done it yet.” I imagine you could hear the gulp that I let out when He said that to me. I could not control the tears as the Lord continued to speak. I left the funeral service that day knowing it was a pivotal moment in my life and in the history of Endtime Ministries.
Daystar Canceled Us
In the following months, I began communicating with a gentleman with a large online audience who had followed Endtime for years. He said he wanted to help us reach the world through digital marketing.
We planned to get lunch together on July 1, 2022, to discuss details. Thirty minutes before our meeting, we received an email from Daystar saying they were removing our show from their network. During our meeting, I gave him a tour of the Endtime campus, and he shared a vision he had of launching a network and asked about leasing some of our available office space. In the moment I thought: Could this be the network that my grandfather saw in his visions? Could this be the network God spoke to me about at Marcus Lamb’s funeral?
We did our best to follow the leading of the Lord and we took the legal steps to take on a tenant in our facility. The Lord did many wonderful things in that season and midway through 2023 it became evident that the vision God had given us was not fulfilled with the network operating in our building. In fact, I met a man in April 2023 who knew nothing about Endtime and Irvin Baxter. He gave me a prophetic word from the Lord that accurately depicted events which had occurred in the past and were impossible for him to know! He began sharing what he said the Lord showed him regarding some shifting to the next level that was going to take place. Within months things started shifting just like he said they would and we have been walking in a realm of God Gravity of epic proportion.
“I’m just waiting on you to tell me what to do.”
In September of 2023, I was at a conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. Within minutes of arriving at the event, I ran into a well-known minister who speaks around the world. We have known of each other for some time — enough to say hello and call each other by name in passing. However, after two days of the conference, I ran into him a dozen times around the city. On the third day, I woke up early and went down to the hotel lobby at 6 a.m. and there he was sitting at a table by himself writing his next book. He saw me and said, “Man, I run into you everywhere!” I said, “I know — it’s starting to get weird!” We laughed and then he got serious and said, “Please sit down, I need to talk to you.” He then shared that the Lord spoke to him the night before, told him to find me and ask what he is supposed to do and he is to do whatever I tell him. My eyes about popped out of my head because no one has ever spoken to me like that. I apologized and told him the Lord didn’t tell me I was supposed to tell him anything. He said, “I have already talked to my wife — we agree this is what the Lord wants. We believe He is going to tell you what to say and we will be ready. I’m just waiting on you to tell me what to do.”
I left that event amazed but also unsure how everything may develop. By the end of 2023, I received calls from ministers, lawyers, business owners and television show hosts telling me the Lord told them to call me and ask what they are supposed to do and they are to do whatever I tell them. I was equally as shocked with every call because, like with the initial occurrence, the Lord gave me no warning that the call was coming. In each case, I apologized, told them the Lord didn’t tell me what I was supposed to tell them and I shared the vision of the network. They all said, “THAT is why God directed me to call you! I’ll just be here waiting on you to tell me what to do.” None of these people are connected and they were all telling me the same thing. I was not sure how to move forward but I continued to do what He has called me to and trust God Gravity in the process.
Pastor D. G. Hargrove
My pastor, D. G. Hargrove, is one of my dearest friends. He is the minister who called Irvin Baxter in 2003 to say he felt like the Lord was urging him to share that Endtime was supposed to move from Richmond, Indiana, to Dallas and the move would propel the ministry to a global level like never before.
On Jan. 21, 2024, I took my family to church like we do every Sunday. Pastor Hargrove was preaching about faith and in the middle of a point he was making, he paused and made a face as if he was trying to listen to something being said. He then shared, “Someone in this room is looking down a new path and wondering if you’re supposed to pursue it. It’s almost like starting a business … God wants you to know that you are supposed to go down that path and He is going to bless it so that you can bless others.” I felt pricked in my heart … Afterward, I asked him if he had anyone in mind when he was sharing that word. He said, “Well, I felt it in the Spirit that it was for you! So much so that I almost called you by name when I was saying it.” I shared with him everything that had been happening in my life and what I felt like the Lord was urging us to do with a network. He became emotional and said, “Vince, you aren’t going to believe this. Everything you just described is the EXACT vision I had over 20 years ago that gave me the courage to call your grandfather and tell him he was supposed to move to Dallas. It’s exactly what I saw. We have to do it!”
Only Source Network
In the months following my pastor and I’s conversation, more people called and met with me saying the Lord told them to connect with me and they’re just waiting on me to tell them what to do. YouTube demonetized us further, suppressing our content and folks began sharing the Lord had called them to come to Dallas to help facilitate a coming global revival.
It was time to share what was happening with Judy Baxter, the Endtime leaders and our independent board of directors.
We had meetings over several weeks discussing all the details of what had been going on and how the Lord had led us to this crossroads for over a decade. Throughout that time, we did a lot of reflecting, crying, praying and seeking the Lord. We all agreed unanimously that moving forward with expanding Endtime+ to become Only Source Network was the will of God.
On March 20, 2024, we strategized that we would rebrand the apps and website for Endtime+, add other shows and presenters outside of Endtime to Only Source and if the Lord ever opened the doors to purchase TV channels or radio stations, we would do it as the Lord directs.
TV Channels?!
One week later, almost to the minute, on March 27, 2024, I received a call from a man who said he had been following us for 30 years but had never called prior to that day. He was a director at one of the largest TV networks in the world when Irvin Baxter would come through and do interviews long ago and he has been following us ever since. That TV network shut down the studio he worked at in Houston, Texas, so he lost his job and began managing TV channels all around the United States. He said, “Vince, I have a channel opening in Houston that reaches all the way down to Galveston with a potential audience of 8 million people. I asked the Lord what He wants me to do with it and he said, ‘Call Endtime and see if they want it.’” I shared with him the journey we have been on with launching Only Source and he said, “Now I know why God told me to call you today. I’m not just supposed to help you get the word out in Houston; I’m supposed to help you get the word out internationally.” He began telling me stations he was going to make available to us including Nashville, Tennessee, and Louisville, Kentucky. And he even mentioned gaining airtime on his channel that covers all of Israel! We went from never having the opportunity to consider purchasing TV channels to managing multiple channels in one phone call. We aren’t getting the channels for free, and it does require faith but we are trusting in the God Gravity with confidence He will provide!
Jim Bakker and The PTL Network
A few weeks later, Dave Robbins was speaking at the Ready Now Expo and appeared on The Jim Bakker Show hosted by The PTL Network in Blue Eye, Missouri. I attended the event as a spectator. After one of the filming sessions, I was honored to meet Jim Bakker’s children that now lead their ministry, Ricky Bakker, Mondo De La Vega and Maricela Bakker Woodall. They made me feel so welcome and like I was part of the family. After touring their property, studios and office complex, we began talking about everything the Lord was doing with both ministries. When I told them about Only Source, Ricky said, “Vince, we loved your grandfather and we love Endtime Ministries. God has freely given us everything we have and we are not going to be stingy when it comes to Endtime. Only Source has to happen! Whatever you need, whether it be equipment, studio time, consulting or whatever, the answer is already yes! We are behind this 100%. We’ll just be waiting on you to tell us what you need us to do.”
Conclusion
Believe it or not, there are many details I simply couldn’t include in this article due to time and space. However, in summary, we are witnessing God Gravity at work like never before. People and resources from all around the world are coming together to join forces to shine light into darkness “for such a time as this.” God has positioned Endtime and Only Source to be the hub to gather like-minded folks to create a synergy that will guide people during these times and help us overcome the enemy.
Yes, things can feel crazy in our country and around the world at times and it may even cause us to scratch our head and wonder, “What in the world is going on?!” Jesus told us in Matthew 24 that times such as this would come. However, don’t be weary, that is not all that is going on in the world! Revival is here and a REAL Great Reset is coming which reminds me so clearly:
Jesus is My Only Source
