Respect the Ground Rules - In Everything Team

Update 2/4/11

2Corinthians 9 : 8 - "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all you need, you will abound in every good work."

In the coming conflict God has given us the high honor of working together with Him to reach the lost. As we were free to choose between following Jesus or turning away, so will the lost whom we encounter. We can talk to them, pray for them, feed them, heal them and protect them, but we cannot choose for them. They must be free, and we're never to apply any pressure to sway them to unite their hearts with Christ's beyond telling them the honest Truth of what their lives will be like for all eternity if they choose to live forever as someone who rejected the gift of the Loving God.

As Jesus ministered in His day, He united the physical world with the spiritual world in much of what He did. Jesus did not create a coin out of thin air, but He had Peter fish for one; He did not create the wine out of thin air, but turned water into wine. The physical is our contribution to the effort, and the result is God's. In the Old Testament, God could have given Goliath a heart attack, but He had David throw a stone; thus they combined in the God/David combo to win the great combined victory. Moses had his staff, Noah had his boat, Samson had his hair, Gideon had his trumpets, and on and on and on.

As we learn to work together with the Power of the Holy Spirit we too will see the combining of the physical with the spiritual. That way the Spirit and us are both contributing to the team win. If you have some food, God can multiply it so that it's all you will need with plenty to spare to share with others. If you need water, ask God and He will help you. Just don't speak to the rock on your own expecting it to work just because you willed it to. Anything that we attempt to do for God outside of the team effort will fail, and disappoint God. We are yoked to Jesus, and His Yoke is light, but don't try to pull Him in the direction that you want Him to go, instead cooperate with the Spirit and go the way He leads you.

Finally, one of the greatest things that God will bring to the table to win the lost is the return of the abundance of food. Before we rise, the antichrist will have already set the stage for a horrible famine, and nothing will help us to win the hearts and the minds of the people to Christ faster then if we can begin to take care of their immediate physical needs. Feeding, healing, comforting, and loving the lost as Jesus would, will initially speak to them much clearer then any sermon that we attempt to deliver, however remember the love and the Message go together hand in hand as the opportunities to share the Truth arise. As a Body, during the harvest window, we will have unlimited spiritual resources at our finger tips so there will be no need to hold back any of the Goodness of the Lord from anyone, at any time. Selfishness, pride, and greed must be put away, because we will have more then we need and it will never be our accomplishments that bring it to us.

Note: When we are filled with the Holy Spirit of Power, God can, overnight, make food grow and make fresh clean waters flow, even in the desert, if it's God's Will to do so and if we will ask it of Him in Jesus' Name. Isaiah 49 : 9b - 10 - "They will feed beside the roads and find pasture on every barren hill. They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or sun beat upon them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water."

Numbers & The Goal

Updated 2/4/11

Although we will soon have God's Holy Spirit of Power flowing through our lives we will still have the physical limitations of our human form. We will need to eat and sleep just like we do now; just like Jesus did, and it's important that we follow God's Instructions in Ecclesiastes to team up so that we will not be caught unaware. Ecclesiastes 4 : 9-12 - "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." Remember: While we are in battle, if two do lie down together make sure that the third guy is wide awake keeping watch. Don't get caught alone, and don't get caught napping.

First, as the Spirit moves through the Christian Body we must move fast and light. There is no time to catch up with old friends or to have a fun time together. We are to pass the Spirit Christian to Christian, and as we spread out moving in small teams of three or four, so should we instruct everyone that we pass the Spirit on to. With God's Mighty Power in our hearts, we won't need 8 or 9 of us to travel together. The key is to move as fast as we can to get the Spirit to as many as we can so that we can maximize our numbers as we come to the world's rescue. Matthew 13 : 33 - "He told them still another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough.""

Once we've received the Holy Spirit of Power and combine it with our mustard of faith, there should be no need for us to kill anyone. We can ask God to blind those against us, to erase their memories, to have them form a deep love for us in their hearts, to make them laugh uncontrollably for hours, to bring on a swarm of bees to chase them away, to shut down their equipment, to make their weapons feel like they are red hot, and on and on. Although God may choose to destroy enemy armies like He did the Egyptians at the Red Sea, as individuals we should choose to show mercy to our enemies and leave their fate in the Hands of the Lord. However, the rule of thumb is, as always, to go as God leads you. Matthew 5 : 7 - "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." If you have received the Holy Spirit of Power, then know that this is the time of the Lord's Favor, and God wants us to win.

Although the enemy is going to be gunning for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ right away so that he can kill as many of us as possible before we can get the Spirit to them, and spreading the Spirit is the priority, there is room for the Spirit to lead some of us to jump right in and start ministering healing to our family, friends, and neighbors who may be dying from a deadly disease, wound, or from starvation. For those of us who see the Church as an army we need to raise up the Army of God, and for those of us who see the Church as a hospital then let the mercy of the Lord rise in our hearts and get us moving, gathering helpers and caregivers along the way.

Once the enemy is exposed, defeated, and in retreat we should not hesitate to jump right in and help the lost around the corner or around the world in any way we can. This is not the coming Kingdom of the Lamb, this is the final harvest. We will have a limited window of time to reach the world with the Gospel as we invite the lost to the Lord's Banquet. However, at that time God will leave a remnant of His Children on earth to go through the Refiner's Fire with what's left of the unrepentant world. The Saints of God will have the upper hand during our window for the harvest, but then at a time determined by God the Father, the devil will be given the power to defeat God's Saints and some will then have to endure these last of the last days of pain, hardship, captivity, and persecution with patient endurance.

The Kingdom of the Lamb comes in Revelation 19 as the Rider who is called Faithful and True comes out of the sky to save the remnant of the Christians and Jews who will, by then, have been forged together into one people by the Refiner's Fire. (Note: Even to the end the Lord will want us to pray for those who persecute us.) May God's Hand be upon you in these end times. Matthew 5 : 10 - "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Seek and You Will Find

Updated 3/24/11

Matthew 7: 7 - 8 - "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."

Seek. If you are reading this and you're a Christian on the run from the beast, seek the Holy Spirit of Power. All of the verses in the Bible about nothing being impossible for you and God to accomplish together are coming true, and if the Spirit has not yet reached your area pray for it and seek it. (Note: God will not just let you move mountains if He doesn't want that particular mountain to move at that time. We have to seek God to see what He will want us to do, and if that includes moving mountains, then the mountains will move.) The Spirit will be passed person to person and will not just be given, it also must be received. The enemy is going to be coming after the Christians right away so it's key for us to stand firm in our faith to whatever end. The Power is coming, so pray, seek, find, receive, enjoy, fight, win, go from victory unto victory.

Note: I now believe that when God pours out the Holy Spirit of Power that people will be given different gifts of the Spirit based on God's Individual Plan for them. This, I believe, is seen in the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25 : 14 - 30 where one man was given five talents and he made five talents more, and one man was given two talents and he made two talents more, but the man who was given one talent did nothing with what was given to him. The two servants who took their talents and used them wisely to increase the happiness of their master were called good and faithful servants, but the one who did nothing with what the master had given to him was rebuked. In the coming days we are to labor for our Master in the harvest fields no matter how many individual gifts and talents we have been individually given, and we are to work together as a team in harmony with one another as God leads and guides. Everyone's contribution matters to God.

Read the Word for Guidance and be Amazed

Updated 2/4/11

2Timothy 3 : 16-17 - "All Scripture is God - breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be throughly equipped for every good work."

God speaks though the Bible, and it's amazing how every time I read it God says something new. I think that's because, though the Bible stays the same, the context of our lives change and different verses that we read on one day in one context may not speak to us, but then when our context changes that same verse will be applied to our hearts for the exact instruction that the Spirit wants to give us. Very soon, the context of all of our lives is about to change in a most dramatic way, and you'll be amazed at what the Bible is saying to you. When you are filled with the Holy Spirit of Power, verses that you didn't understand before like, Matthew 17 : 20 -"He replied, 'Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.'" will make total sense.

Up until now we have had to read this verse like Jesus must have meant something other then what He plainly said. This must have been a figurative mountain or otherwise how could He be telling us the Truth? But now since the Father Himself is moving so close to us, this verse has a whole new context for us. When God is this close, bringing this kind of Power to His Children, who will receive His Holy Spirit of Power, what was impossible yesterday will be ordinary tomorrow.

As spiritual warriors it will be up to us to stay connected to Christ like the branch to the vine, and God will direct the battle. I'm pretty sure that He is going to raise up His Servant, His 2 Witnesses, Judges, Captains, and Administrators to lead, and perhaps some of them will come from the 144,000. As a member of the Body of Christ we will not have to reach the whole world by ourselves, but we will all be working together as an integrated team, and God will have special missions for, and use the gifts of, each of His Spiritual Warriors.

Not only will our role be as protectors of the saved and the lost, but we are also called to love the lost, encourage the weak, heal the sick, feed the hungry, bring freedom to the captives, drive out demons, and win the lost souls to follow our Lord Jesus Christ. Lost souls are treasure in the Eyes of the Lord. God loves them and wants them, and the devil wants to steal, kill, and destroy them.

In the Old Testament God told His Children to take the land and slay their enemies, and then in the New Testament God told His Children to love their enemies in the hopes that they would come to a saving faith in Christ. It will not be our job to hunt down and eliminate everything that we see as evil, and God will lead in how we should live. God will have the wheat and the weeds grow side by side, and it will be key for everyone to listen to the Spirit on how we can be involved in the harvest as we labor together as the Body of Christ.

Finally, before you receive the Holy Spirit of Power, defend yourself with force from rampaging civilians, but not from governmental authorities, until you have received the Holy Spirit of Power. Once God's Power has come upon us we should be able to discern who to oppose and who to protect. Seek the Spirit of Power, because as of now, I'm pretty sure that God will give Him to specific people of faith to begin with, and then He will be passed on person to person. However, I'm also not sure of the timing of when this outpouring will take place.

How will you know if you've received the Spirit of Power? Ask God what you can do together to show you that the Power is there. Jesus said you could do something like uproot a tree and throw it into a lake. So if that's what God puts on your heart to try and if the tree doesn't fly, you don't have Him yet, keep seeking. If you love the Lord Jesus and want the Spirit of Power keep praying like the widow who demanded justice in Luke 18 : 5 - "yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!" and God will bring it to you. Zechariah 4 : 6b - " ..... 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty."

The context of our lives are all about to change, and we can count on God to speak to us through the Bible all the way to the Promised Land.

Don't Get Cocky

Updated 2/4/11

Matthew 23 : 12 - "For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."

Although I must admit that it's fun sometimes to taunt your enemies, and even Elijah took some playful jabs at his foes, however, once we take the field we have to stay humble. We want God to be completely on our side at all times, and we never want to experience any of those you needed to be taught a valuable lesson in humility moments. God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble, and He will let us lose a battle for our own good, to teach us that painful lesson. Don't forget that it's only your ounce of faith and God's Mountain of Power that's getting the job done. God wants to share the experience of victory with us, but He will not let us become proud and take the credit for what He is clearly accomplishing.

As we need to stay humble before the Lord, we also must not underestimate our enemy. After the sinister betrayal and crushing defeat of the free world's armed forces the antichrist will control the complete balance of earthly power. Further, he will marshal unlimited wealth, committed followers, behind the scenes unlikely coordination between seemingly opposed world leaders, elaborate hoaxes supported by his trusted scientific community that have been in the works for many many years (Pandemic Flu Hoax, Alien Hoax, Global Warming Hoax, Cyber Attack Hoax). Furthermore, he has almost a complete control of the world's news media, entertainment, and information systems; and he'll have ability to publicly accuse, the ability to confuse, deceive, destroy resources, employ highly advanced unusual technology to appear supernatural, and the ability to turn us all against each other if we are not trusting God and believing the best about each other. Truly the antichrist is an evil genius who is unmatched by any super-villain ever. Sure, during the harvest window, we are going to be defeating him all over the board, and at every turn, but the enemy is a very determined, a very angry, and a very vengeful fellow, and he will find a way to hurt us anyway he can.

Be warned, the devil is total evil to the core with no hope of redemption, so he has nothing to loose in making as many people's lives as miserable as his own.

Revelation 12 : 12b - "But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short."

Be Merciful to the Authorities

Updated 2/4/11

Hebrews 11 : 13-16 - "All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country - a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them."

Once again until you have the Holy Spirit of Power do not try to physically fight against any governmental authority in any way, because until you can win them over by God's Supernatural Power, you may find that you are only shooting it out with your Christian Brothers and Sisters who are honorably standing their Law Enforcement and Military posts; this would be a terrible testimony to the lost, and to do so would be suicide. Then when you have the Holy Spirit of Power listen to the Lord's Leading and He will guide you in what you should do.

Although I don't know how long the first of the end times battles will last, we will be deployed by God to where we are needed. Remember nothing is impossible with God, and if you see it in the Bible you will probably live it in the battle. If we're needed right now in China, no problem, remember how the Spirit of God transported Philip? One minute he was here, and in a flash he was gone to somewhere else. As a team we will be able to be much more mobile, and effective in disbursing our resources if we can get all the people that we need anywhere in the world in a flash. God will put it on our hearts and in our minds as far as what we should do and pray for, and the Father God, Himself, will be at the command and controls of His Highly Effective Army. Also, don't limit your thinking just to the New Testament when it comes to believing God for powerful works of the Spirit. You may find yourself in a situation where you need the strength of Samson, or the wisdom of Solomon, or the protection from the fiery furnace, and I'm sure that we will see new things that we never would have thought of as God shows His Power and Creativity to the world.

Remember we are a Holy Nation, not a place on a map. God can make many worlds with a thought, but there's something very special to Him about a created soul who chooses to love Him back. Have compassion for your fellow man, pray desperately for their hearts and minds to be open to the Truth, and then lead them into our Lord's Open Arms.

What Army will God take into Battle?

Updated 2/4/11

Romans 9 : 20-21 - "But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?'" Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?" Ezekiel 34 : 16 - "I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice." 2Chronicles 7 : 14 -"if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

(Update) If God's Children hear His Call, humble themselves, and repent; if we will turn back to living the Truth and ask to be cleansed from our delusion induced unrighteousness, then we will march out like Joshua's mighty army. However, if we do not heed the call, many fewer of us will march out like Gideon's smaller but still highly effective army; that is after we have humbled ourselves, received the Lord's Rebuke, and have repented from our unrighteousness. Either way God's Army will take the field and God will win the day.

Since the Lord says that He's soon going to take the sleek and the strong from among us, it's likely that it will be an army of the weak, meek, broken, humble, poor, sick who were healed, and lesser regarded Christians who will take the field for the end times harvest. God often uses the weak to shame the strong, and He doesn't look at how people appear, but He sees right through us into our hearts. 1Samuel 16 : 7 - "But the Lord said to Samuel, 'Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.'" The only hope that the sleek and the strong have to be a part of the end times harvest is to repent and become weak before their God. If they don't, upon reaching Heaven, they will be given a white robe and will have to sit out the end times harvest. Revelation 6 : 9 - 11 - "When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the alter the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they maintained. ........ Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed." Truly God has a plan for the times known to us as the end times, and all of His Plans will be accomplished. If God is planning to lead into spiritual battle an army of the weak and broken, then this will truly be the Christian nerd's finest hour.

Soldiers of the God/Man Combo

Updated 2/4/11

John 15: 5- "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing"

Clearly, God could do everything in the coming battle and we could just sit back and cheer, but that wouldn't do anything to help us to grow in our relationships with Him. Believe it or not, this coming contest is going to be as much for us as it is for those lost souls that we are commanded to reach. For us God wants to unite His Heart with ours in the spiritual battle helping us to grow in our faith, trust, and love.

Living the God/Christian combo means that the Spirit first prompts us as to what to do and then we act in our ounce of strength, and then God comes in with His Unlimited Power. It's a team victory, small act of faith, Mighty Unlimited Power, small act of faith, Mighty Unlimited Power, small act of faith, Mighty Unlimited Power. Also, when you are in the heat of battle remember don't try to win with your limited strength when God's Unlimited Strength is right there with you. This is not a battle for our glory, so don't try to be a hero by running out ahead of where the Spirit of God is leading you, and don't try to do more then what the Spirit of God is impressing on your heart to do.

Expect the Glorious Victory

Updated 3/13/11

2Corinthians 2 : 14 - "But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him."

With all of the modern armies of the world amassed against us it would appear that the Christian Army doesn't stand a chance. We are, for the most part, caring individuals leading quite lives who are blissfully unaware of the coming storm while the other guys are determined, united, holding positions of power, concentrated in large numbers, ruthless, well armed, tech savvy, well trained, well supplied, well coordinated, ably led, and their battle plans for the conquest of the world are most likely well thought out and have been in motion for at least 100 years. While we have a few guns, they have all of the bullets. We have rocks and they have tanks. We have no air force and they control the skies. That's not fair! Or is it?

Soon, the battle weapon that the Christian Soldier will wield will be the most effective weapon on earth, and that's the weapon of faith. The key here is that nothing is impossible to one who has faith. Matthew 17 : 20 - "He replied, 'Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.'" The antichrist's forces, though mighty, are limited to the box of the physical and natural, and they will be, for the most part, warriors of cold science and reason employing machinery, technology, violence, aggression, deceptions, betrayals, brutality, and lies. However, we are warriors of faith and love, not limited to the box, and the Holy Spirit of Power that we are soon to receive will make us, for the harvest season, very hard to defeat.

I know that this is hard to get your arms around right now because the Power has yet to come, so as you wait for it, read all of the words of Jesus about how we are about to be able to do even greater things then He did. Jesus walked on water, we can walk on water. Jesus healed the sick; we will be able to heal our wounded. With God at our side the fight isn't really fair at all. For a time we will defeat them at every turn and they will neither know how or why. When the battle is joined, be courageous and be filled with hope as God deals with those who oppose Him right before your eyes.

We will be able to reach the lost up to and through out the time when Satan arrives indwelling the antichrist and pretending to be God. However, he will at that time be allowed the power by God, to conquer us and to kill many of us, so we will have only a limited amount of time to win as many lost souls as we can during our harvest window, although people will still be saved by refusing the receive the mark of the beast even after the devil has arrived. Daniel 7 : 21 - 22 - "As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and defeating them, until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom." While the devil himself is waging war against us, some of us will die and some will go into captivity, but if we go into captivity we must remain faithful to Jesus and never take the mark of the beast or worship him in any way. Revelation 13 : 9 - 10 - "He who has an ear, let him hear. If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed. This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints." We must remain faithful to our God during our testing even if we are taken into the fire. God has chosen who will be refined in the last of the last days, and it is for our benefit if we are allowed to suffer for a little while for the glory of His Name. Isaiah 38 : 17 - "Surely it was for my benefit that I suffered such anguish. In your love you kept me from the pit of destruction; you have put all my sins behind your back."

Remember, for the Christian death is not the end but a new beginning, and remember that the Father is waiting on the other side to reward with His Love those who He finds faithful and true. An era is coming to an end and a new one is going to begin where Christ is going to live among us as our King, and everything in the old era must be settled before the new era begins. Cling to your trust that God is Good as He settles His Accounts with all of us, because I'm pretty sure that there's going to be some things that He does for our eventual good, in the near future, that we will not all understand until we are on the other side of Glory.

Commanded to be Strong and Courageous

Updated 2/4/11

Joshua 1:9 - "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

Very soon there are going to be three types of people on planet earth. The beast, those with the Lord, and those who are up for grabs, and we are to stay faithful to the Lord and continue to defend and fight for the lost right to our individual ends. God has a plan for all of us, and no matter how or when we enter into eternity we will arrive in Heaven happier if we walked on earth by faith with love and trust and courage.

Undivided

It is by far better to die then to accept the mark of the beast

or to worship him in any way.

Updated 2/4/11

John 17: 20-21 - "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me."

Very soon the Holy Spirit of Power will be here on earth and He will be passed from Believer to Believer until He reaches all who call on the name of Christ. Once we've received the Spirit we are united. There will be no more us verses them, and no more time for squabbling over points of faith and practice in the Family of God. A Baptist with the Spirit is now the same as a Catholic with the Spirit. An Evangelical with the Spirit is the same as a Lutheran with the Spirit. A Methodist with the Spirit is the same as an Adventist with the Spirit; and everyone else who will receive the Holy Spirit of Power is then united with us all. Sure right now we think that the other guy is wrong about a whole bunch of things, and God will lead us all in the Truth, but if we all have the same Spirit of God surging in our hearts then we are all approved by God, and we must all rally to the standard of Christ as one, and labor and fight side by side against the enemy as one. (AS ONE) There is no more time for building or defending our own little individual spiritual kingdoms because most all of us, in a very short time, will either die and be on our way to the Banquet of the Lord, be hiding from the antichrist, or we will be going through the Refiner's Fire of captivity to the antichrist.

Furthermore, there will be no room for divides along the lines of race, class, citizenship, or national origin. We are all equal in Christ as souls that He loves, so there is no place for the pride of thinking that you are any better then your brother for any reason. Instead we are going to need to count on everyone as a team to assure the victory. The Lord has many things that He wants to accomplish in the coming harvest and one of them is to bring the His Children into perfect unity under one throne, the throne that will be established with the return of the Lamb as described in Revelation 19. Do not be surprised if the mightiest warrior is that funny looking hard to relate to guy with the heart of gold.

Our enemy will not be able to overcome us if we can keep his lies out of our heads and truly love our Brothers and Sisters in Christ no matter who they are, or what tradition they come from. We must never allow ourselves to be divided and thus defeated. Rally to Jesus and fight side by side as His Body, undivided.

Revelation 13 : 10 - "If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with sword, with the sword he will be killed. This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints."

Revelation 14 : 9 - 13 - "........ "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name." This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God's commandments and remain faithful to Jesus. Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.""

This Means War

God is Leading us in a Revolution back to the Truth

God's people need to prepare their hearts now for the greatest struggle that will ever be waged. It's coming hard and fast and it's going to hit like a ton of bricks, and sadly, many may be taken by complete surprise. Forget about the rapture. Why would God pull His Holy Army out of the ultimate fight to go have a party when there are so many souls that He still wants to keep who are still in the precarious balance? And wouldn't Jesus' concern be with the sheep that are still missing? And what was that about picking up a cross? "What's a cross"? Shouldn't our soft western faith be tested with suffering and sacrifice like the Saints of old, or like our brothers and sisters who've lived under the constant threat of death by Communism?

Christian, something worse then Communism is at the gate, and if you call on the name of Christ you're a warrior of faith and love now, whether you like it or not. The same dark forces that will come for your public heroes, defenders, leaders, teachers, pastors and evangelists will come for you in time, and you will not be able to avoid the conflict. God's desire is to, in the end, redeem you and take you home to Heaven, but it's time for you first to show your mettle.

Since the first wave of the assault will most likely be against the leaders, the rank and file Christians need to know that they are expected to step up and fight the good fight of faith, down to the last man. The Holy Spirit of Power will be poured out on the earth and spread from person to person, but there may be a period of time before it reaches every corner of the earth, and the enemy will most likely try to begin his process of eradicating Christians right from the get go. Before the Spirit arrives, it will be a true testimony to God if Christians can hold together under the enemy's evil onslaught. Remember, where two or more are gathered in Jesus' Name He will be there; and no matter where we are, God will be there for us; but our only hope of staying faithful is by continually seeking His Face, and seeking His Holy Spirit's Strength.

Once it's begun, trust God and ask Him simply to meet you in the depths of your trial with the grace to overcome the World. God is about to change life as we know it, and everything must be settled in the next 7 or so years before we then begin the period of time where Christ lives among us and rules us as our Righteous King. Though it will be the fight of our lives, if we, by His Grace, are victorious in our own personal contests of loyalty to Jesus verses our love for this world and the fear of death, then we can approach the throne of Grace with our heads held high unashamed, knowing full well that we belong to Jesus.
