Ephesians 6:12-13 “For we
wrestle not against flesh
and blood, but against
principalities, against
powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this
world, against spiritual
wickedness in high [places].
Wherefore take unto you the
whole armour of God, that ye
may be able to withstand in
the evil day, and having
done all, to stand.”
There is war going on in the
spiritual realm right now.
Satan knows that his time is
short, and he and all his
minions are battling the
heavenly hosts for control
of this world. We feel the
effects of the fallout; we
are being tested and tried
as never before. The devil
is trying to wreak havoc
with God's people, but we
are up to the challenge. We
will overcome all evil with
good and take back the earth
for the Kingdom of God.
We will break the yokes of
bondage to sin and evil that
threaten to destroy all of
mankind by preaching the
Gospel of Jesus Christ to
every race, tongue and
nation. We will set men,
women and children free and
make salvation available to
everyone who is receptive.
We will baptize countless
numbers in Jesus' name, so
they can receive all the
blessings of eternal life.
No one will perish for lack
of knowledge in the truth.
Our Lord and Savior will
redeem all those whose names
are written in the Lamb's
Book of Life. He will show
Himself strong in us, so
that we can resume His
ministry where He left off.
We will heal all those who
are sick and afflicted in
any way. We will cast out
demons that oppress
mankind. We will even raise
the dead back to life once
again, as Christ Himself
did. Nothing will be
impossible to us in the days
ahead.
Tested In Fire
1Peter 4:12-13 “Beloved,
think it not strange
concerning the fiery trial
which is to try you, as
though some strange thing
happened unto you: But
rejoice, inasmuch as ye are
partakers of Christ's
sufferings; that, when his
glory shall be revealed, ye
may be glad also with
exceeding joy.”
The Lord will anoint us with
divine power and authority
to act on His behalf in all
that we are assigned to do.
We will do the works that
Jesus did when He dwelt
among us, and even greater
works, since He has gone to
be with His Father. We will
confront all wickedness and
evil that we see, and
establish God's fair and
just way of doing things on
this earth.
We will be tried and tested
with fire, but we will
eventually overcome the
world, our flesh and the
devil. We will glorify our
Lord and Savior in all that
we think, say and do. He
will work through us to
change the fate of all
mankind. We will put all of
His enemies underneath His
feet, so that He can return
to receive His Kingdom from
us for His rule and reign.
Jesus will soon share His
very own honor and glory
with us. He will boast of
us to all creation, and we
will assist Him in judging
both men and angels. We
will be appointed kings and
priests of God and rule and
reign with Christ over every
nation of the world. We
will teach all of God's
people to dwell together in
love, peace and unity as
brothers and sisters.
Hebrews 10:35-38 “Cast not
away therefore your
confidence, which hath great
recompence of reward. For ye
have need of patience, that,
after ye have done the will
of God, ye might receive the
promise. For yet a little
while, and he that shall
come will come, and will not
tarry. Now the just shall
live by faith: but if [any
man] draw back, my soul
shall have no pleasure in
him. But we are not of them
who draw back unto
perdition; but of them that
believe to the saving of the
soul.”
We are the actual Body of
Christ Himself on the earth
- His hands, feet and voice
to the entire human race.
We will be tried and tested
for our stamina and
endurance in the critical
days that lie ahead. We
cannot shrink back from
fulfilling our divine
destinies out of fear, doubt
or unbelief. We must
appropriate the
righteousness of Christ and
operate in His very own
strength.
He will imbue us with
supernatural power and
authority to complete His
ministry in this world. We
will do all that He did and
even more to take back the
earth from the darkness and
destruction that threatens
to defeat us. We will
overcome all evil with good
and prevail in all that we
do. The Lord's eternal
redemption plan for His
people will be perfectly
implemented.
The Gospel will be preached
to all the nations and many
people will be baptized to
eternal life. We will
confront all world
governments, so that they
eliminate all wars, violence
and conflict. We will
eradicate all poverty and
lack and make certain that
all humanity is treated with
dignity and respect. We
will take control over all
creation and establish
peace, order and stability.
1Corinthians 3:13-15 “Every
man's work shall be made
manifest: for the day shall
declare it, because it shall
be revealed by fire; and the
fire shall try every man's
work of what sort it is. If
any man's work abide which
he hath built thereupon, he
shall receive a reward. If
any man's work shall be
burned, he shall suffer
loss: but he himself shall
be saved; yet so as by
fire.”
We will all face a lasting
and permanent judgment for
our works in the flesh.
Every man's deeds will
ultimately be revealed for
all to see. We will all be
evaluated fairly and
justly. No one will escape
the Lord's scrutiny or be
able to persuade Him to
lower His perfect standards
for us. If we have been
righteous and obedient, we
will inherit eternal
rewards.
If we have been careless and
slack in our service to
almighty God, our works will
not endure the fire of His
wrath and indignation. We
will be just barely saved to
eternal life, with the
stench of smoke still
clinging to us. The Lord
will only boast of those
sons and daughters who have
actually done His will and
served Him and His people
with zeal and enthusiasm.
All those who have been
deliberately disobedient,
wicked and rebellious will
be banished from His holy
presence forever more. The
Lord cannot abide with sin
and evil and He will cast
all wrongdoers into the
unquenchable lake of fire
for all of eternity. Only
those who have been
uncompromisingly righteous
and fulfilled their divine
destinies will be glorified.
The Lord will appoint us as
kings and priests and we
will judge both men and
angels. We will rule and
reign with Christ over all
the nations of the world.
Our names will be a praise
on the earth. We will have
a just recompense for all
that we have suffered or
lost. Christ will share His
everlasting Kingdom with
those who have faithfully
served Him and His people.
Tried In Tribulation
2Thessalonians 1:4-5 “So
that we ourselves glory in
you in the churches of God
for your patience and faith
in all your persecutions and
tribulations that ye endure:
[Which is] a manifest token
of the righteous judgment of
God, that ye may be counted
worthy of the kingdom of
God, for which ye also
suffer:”
It is critical that we have
faith and patience in the
days to come on this earth.
Satan will harass and
harangue us; men will resist
all our efforts to save them
from spiritual and physical
destruction. We must trust
the Lord to protect us from
all harm and sanctify us in
our service to Him. We will
suffer in our flesh and
souls, but it will be well
worth it in the long run.
We will see the entire earth
impacted through our
efforts. It may be an
uphill battle for us all the
way, but we will emerge
totally victorious. The
Lord will ultimately be
glorified in His people and
generously reward us for all
that we have done on His
behalf. We will inherit the
Kingdom of almighty God with
all of its many benefits for
righteousness and godliness.
The Lord will boast of us to
all creation as His very own
sons and daughters. He will
come and take up residence
with us and show an active
interest in all the details
of our lives. He will
restore all that we have
lost or had stolen from us
and take vengeance on all of
our enemies. There is no
good thing that He will ever
withhold from those who have
walked in His ways.
John 16:33 “These things I
have spoken unto you, that
in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good
cheer; I have overcome the
world.”
Our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ overcame everything
that challenges us, as
well. He is our role model
for patience and endurance.
We can have total faith and
confidence for our future.
Although we may be tested
and tried now, there is a
consuming glory that will
ultimately surround and
overtake us. The entire
earth is being purged and
cleansed of all its
wickedness and evil, but the
righteous will remain
unscathed.
We will overcome all the
defilement of this world;
sanctify ourselves in mind,
soul and body; and defeat
the enemy for all time. We
may experience tests, trials
and tribulation now, but
help is on the way. Christ
will soon return to this
earth to set up His
everlasting Kingdom. He
will rule and reign with a
rod of iron, so nothing evil
ever contaminates His people
again. We will have total
safety and security in His
presence.
Jesus will take vengeance on
all of our enemies and
vindicate us before both men
and angels. Everything that
we have lost or had taken
from us will be restored in
full. There will be endless
peace and prosperity for the
faithful in the Kingdom of
God. The Lord will change
our mortal bodies into
glorious, resurrection forms
that never get sick and
die. We will dwell in His
very presence and thrive in
all that He does for us.
Deuteronomy 4:30-31 “When
thou art in tribulation, and
all these things are come
upon thee, [even] in the
latter days, if thou turn to
the LORD thy God, and shalt
be obedient unto his voice;
(For the LORD thy God [is] a
merciful God;) he will not
forsake thee, neither
destroy thee, nor forget the
covenant of thy fathers
which he sware unto them.”
Darkness and destruction may
threaten the entire earth,
but our God will never leave
or forsake those who are
called by His holy name. He
has made an eternal covenant
with us to provide all of
our needs and protect us
from all harm. If we cry
out to Him in our distress,
He will be quick to come to
our rescue. He will
strengthen us in the power
of His might and deliver us
from all evil.
Very soon now, He will
sovereignly move to rectify
all wrongs and set matters
straight in this world.
God's perfect will for all
of mankind will be fully
implemented on this earth,
as it is in heaven. He will
gather us to Himself for all
of eternity and mercifully
blot out all pain and
suffering from our
memories. We will have only
peace and prosperity, safety
and security forever more.
The Kingdom of almighty God
will level all playing
fields. Many who are first
now, will be last because of
all they did to oppress and
exploit God's people. He
will vindicate the faithful
for all time and restore all
that we have lost. There is
no good thing that He will
ever deny those who are
righteous and obedient. He
will meet all of our needs
in abundance, even before we
ask Him to do so.
2Corinthians 1:3-5 “Blessed
[be] God, even the Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Father of mercies, and the
God of all comfort; Who
comforteth us in all our
tribulation, that we may be
able to comfort them which
are in any trouble, by the
comfort wherewith we
ourselves are comforted of
God. For as the sufferings
of Christ abound in us, so
our consolation also
aboundeth by Christ.”
Our God is with us in all
that we are called upon to
endure. He is in the midst
of our struggles and is
merciful and compassionate
to our plight. He knows
that we have tribulation in
this world, but He comforts
us with promises for our
future. The Lord does not
have plans for evil for our
lives; He will do all that
He can to ensure our eternal
welfare.
Our Lord and Savior actually
resides in each and every
one of us. He is our
strength, when our human
resources fail. If we will
submit our lives to Him, we
will prevail in all that we
are asked to do. Although
Satan may attack us and the
world threatens to destroy
us in its iniquity, we can
rely on Jesus to protect us
and preserve us blameless
until His return.
We are more than conquerors
through Him. We can
overcome all that comes
against us. We will rise up
in our divine destinies in
the critical days ahead and
be glorified in almighty
God. He will empower us to
impact the entire earth and
everyone in it for the
Kingdom of God. We will
restructure this whole
planet to be peaceful,
orderly and stable once
again.
Suffering For Our Faith
1Peter 1:7-9 “That the trial
of your faith, being much
more precious than of gold
that perisheth, though it be
tried with fire, might be
found unto praise and honour
and glory at the appearing
of Jesus Christ: Whom having
not seen, ye love; in whom,
though now ye see [him] not,
yet believing, ye rejoice
with joy unspeakable and
full of glory: Receiving the
end of your faith, [even]
the salvation of [your]
souls.”
Even though we are redeemed
from all of our sins through
the Blood of Jesus Christ,
and our faith in Him sets us
free, we still struggle in
our walk with God. Those in
the world challenge us all
the time, and the devil does
his level best to steal,
kill and destroy. We are
continually harassed for
what we believe, and we must
hold fast to what we have or
go to perdition.
We must adhere to our faith
all costs and protect our
righteousness as never
before. We cannot be lax
and careless or run the risk
of disobedience to almighty
God. Even though we face
opposition, we should share
what we have with others.
The Gospel must be preached
to all the nations or many
will be fated to total
destruction of spirit, soul
and body in time to come.
Christ will soon return to
us and we cannot be remiss
in fulfilling His divine
commission to us. We must
baptize others in His name;
heal the sick and afflicted;
cast out demons that hold
men in bondage to sin and
evil; and even raise the
dead back to life. We are
His Body on this earth now,
and He is relying on us to
resume and complete His
ministry where He left off.
Jesus will share His very
own honor and glory with us
and boast of us to all
creation. We will be
appointed kings and priests
of God, and even judge both
men and angels. We will
teach all men how to dwell
in love, peace and unity as
brothers and sisters. We
will receive the heathen for
our inheritance, and rule
and reign with Jesus Christ
over all of the nations of
the world.
Matthew 10:38-39 “And he
that taketh not his cross,
and followeth after me, is
not worthy of me. He that
findeth his life shall lose
it: and he that loseth his
life for my sake shall find
it.”
Our lives are no longer our
own; we were bought with a
dear price - the very Blood
of our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ. He is our
role model for
self-sacrifice. We have to
take up His cross daily and
lay down our own lives for
others. We are to walk as
He walked the earth and
teach all of mankind God's
way of doing things. We
have to maintain godly
principles in all that we
think, say and do.
We will suffer in
sanctification, but that is
vital to our effectiveness
as ambassadors for the
Kingdom of God. We have to
be godly role models to
others; we cannot permit
anything or anyone to
interfere with our divine
destinies. We must crucify
our flesh and subdue our
selfish soul ambitions. Our
lives are lost in Jesus
Christ now, and we have to
consecrate ourselves to
fulfilling His plan and
purpose.
It is imperative that we
guard our righteousness and
walk in love at all times
and under all
circumstances. We will have
to learn to forgive and
forget all offense that is
committed against us. We
should aspire to peace and
unity with all mankind, not
only believers. There
should be no strife and
division in any of our
relationships. We must
overcome all of our
differences and cooperate
with one another.
We can no longer be doing
our own thing or serving
just our own self-interest.
None of us lives to himself
alone. We truly need one
another and it will be
critical that we exhort and
encourage others to turn
towards our God in the days
to come. Their eternal fate
lies in the balance, and
they must choose to believe
the truth and be born again
to eternal life or perish
for all time in the
unquenchable lake of fire.
Romans 8:17-18 “And if
children, then heirs; heirs
of God, and joint-heirs with
Christ; if so be that we
suffer with [him], that we
may be also glorified
together. For I reckon that
the sufferings of this
present time [are] not
worthy [to be compared] with
the glory which shall be
revealed in us.”
Sons and daughters of
almighty God enjoy great
privileges; we are
joint-heirs with Jesus to
all the promises for
righteousness. There is
nothing that the Lord will
withhold from us if we are
willing and obedient to
serve Him and His people.
We have eternal callings on
our lives; we have been
given a sacred charge. We
must share our faith with
others or they will be
condemned in their own
ignorance.
We have to confront all
wickedness that we see and
represent the Kingdom of God
in all that we think, say
and do. Our behavior must
be above and beyond reproach
at all times. We cannot
afford to be sloppy in our
spiritual walk. Both God
and man will be carefully
scrutinizing us to see if we
live up to what we preach.
We must be fitting role
models at all times and love
others unequivocally.
If we have sanctified
ourselves and committed to
serve God, we will be given
divine power and authority
to accomplish seemingly
impossible tasks. We will
rid the earth of all
wickedness and evil and
establish godly principles
of fairness, justice and
equality in this world.
There will be no more wars,
violence, conflict,
oppression and
exploitation. All men will
be treated with dignity and
respect.
Luke 12:47-48 “And that
servant, which knew his
lord's will, and prepared
not [himself], neither did
according to his will, shall
be beaten with many
[stripes]. But he that knew
not, and did commit things
worthy of stripes, shall be
beaten with few [stripes].
For unto whomsoever much is
given, of him shall be much
required: and to whom men
have committed much, of him
they will ask the more.”
To those whom much is given,
much is also expected. The
Lord has blessed us beyond
all of our expectations and
we have an obligation to
show Him all of our
gratitude. We should
present our bodies as living
sacrifices to Him in divine
service. He will fully
empower us to act on His
behalf, so that we can
impact the fate of all
mankind through our efforts
in the critical days that
lie ahead.
We are without excuse; we
know who we are in Christ
and we have been given a
sacred responsibility to
serve Him as He served us.
His people are perishing for
lack of knowledge; we must
make them aware of the truth
of the Gospel message. We
will make salvation
available to every man,
woman and child in every
race, tongue and nation.
Everyone who is receptive
will be baptized in Jesus'
name.
If we fail to do as the Lord
asks of us, many souls will
be lost forever. We will
suffer serious repercussions
for our disobedience and be
punished for our
hard-heartedness. The Lord
will chasten us for our
sloth and lack of love and
banish us from His awesome
presence. We cannot remain
selfish and disinterested in
others. We have to serve
God's people or be eternally
condemned for our lack of
love.
Worthy Of Our Calling
1Corinthians 1:26-30 “For ye
see your calling, brethren,
how that not many wise men
after the flesh, not many
mighty, not many noble, [are
called]: But God hath chosen
the foolish things of the
world to confound the wise;
and God hath chosen the weak
things of the world to
confound the things which
are mighty; And base things
of the world, and things
which are despised, hath God
chosen, [yea], and things
which are not, to bring to
nought things that are: That
no flesh should glory in his
presence. But of him are ye
in Christ Jesus, who of God
is made unto us wisdom, and
righteousness, and
sanctification, and
redemption: That, according
as it is written, He that
glorieth, let him glory in
the Lord.”
We were created in God's
very own image and likeness
for such a time as this. We
have eternal callings on our
lives and we must rise up
and embrace our divine
destinies. We are the sons
and daughters of almighty
God Himself, kings and
priests to His people. He
has chosen us to partner
with Him in bringing heaven
itself to the earth realm in
the Kingdom of God.
It is vital that we follow
all the direction and
guidance that the Lord gives
us, so that we can be
effective in all that He
calls us to do on His
behalf. We will minister to
others with love, mercy and
compassion and challenge
them to accept the truth.
We will preach the Gospel of
Jesus Christ to all nations
of the world, so that no one
ever perishes for lack of
knowledge.
The Lord will work through
us to minister to His
people. We will lay hand on
the sick and see them
restored to health and
vitality. We will cast out
all demons that hold men in
bondage to sin and evil. We
will even raise the dead
back to life again, so that
they can enter into the
Kingdom with us. Nothing
will be impossible to us if
we are willing and obedient.
Our God will be glorified in
all that we think, say and
do. We will prove to the
world that He is still in
control of our fate. We
will establish peace, order
and stability everywhere.
There will be no more war,
violence or conflict,
poverty and lack, death or
destruction that threaten
any of us. All men will be
treated with fairness and
equality, dignity and
respect.
Colossians 1:10-12 “That ye
might walk worthy of the
Lord unto all pleasing,
being fruitful in every good
work, and increasing in the
knowledge of God;
Strengthened with all might,
according to his glorious
power, unto all patience and
longsuffering with
joyfulness; Giving thanks
unto the Father, which hath
made us meet to be partakers
of the inheritance of the
saints in light:”
Each of us must be well
aware of who we are in
Christ and live up to godly
standards of performance.
We will all grow and develop
into fully mature sons and
daughters of God in the days
to come. Our efforts will
all be fruitful and
productive. We will serve
the Lord in any capacity
that He deems worthwhile and
be totally successful in all
that He assigns us to do.
We are the saints of God,
heirs to His eternal
Kingdom. Much is expected
of us. We will have
patience and endurance to
minister to God's people and
be empowered to walk just
like Jesus walked the
earth. We will deliver men
from all sorts of bondage
and affliction, and share
our faith with power and
conviction. We will baptize
countless numbers in Jesus'
name.
The entire earth will be
impacted by our efforts.
Nothing will remain the
same. We will prepare the
hearts of all mankind to
receive Christ as their
King. We will cleanse and
purge all evil that we
encounter. We will destroy
all satanic strongholds that
would deter our efforts. We
will renovate and
restructure this entire
world until it lines up with
the will of God.
2Thessalonians 1:11-12
“Wherefore also we pray
always for you, that our God
would count you worthy of
[this] calling, and fulfil
all the good pleasure of
[his] goodness, and the work
of faith with power: That
the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ may be glorified in
you, and ye in him,
according to the grace of
our God and the Lord Jesus
Christ.”
The Lord will assist us in
all of our efforts on His
behalf. He will assign
legions of ministering
angels to support us. If we
are diligent to sanctify
ourselves and obey all that
the Lord asks of us, we will
be found worthy of our
calling and appropriate His
very own divine power and
authority to take back the
earth for the Kingdom of
God. Our Lord and Savior
will be glorified in us.
Christ will soon return to
us to set up His eternal
rule and reign. He will
utterly destroy all evil in
the wrath of His coming, and
take vengeance on all of His
enemies. Satan will be
banished to the abyss with
all his minions. All
wrongdoers will judged and
found guilty, and cast into
the unquenchable lake of
fire. There will be nothing
that defiles the peace and
serenity of God's people.
We will enjoy safety and
security, health and
longevity, joy and freedom
in the actual presence of
almighty God Himself. The
Lord will meet all of our
needs in abundance, even
before we ask Him. He will
boast of us as His very own
sons and daughters and
vindicate us before both men
and angels. We will share
in Christ's honor and glory
and rule and reign with Him
for all eternity.
2Peter 1:10-11 “Wherefore
the rather, brethren, give
diligence to make your
calling and election sure:
for if ye do these things,
ye shall never fall: For so
an entrance shall be
ministered unto you
abundantly into the
everlasting kingdom of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ.”
The Body of Christ must be
perfectly obedient and walk
in uncompromised love in the
days ahead. We have a
divine destiny that must be
fulfilled before Christ
returns to us to receive His
everlasting Kingdom. We
must prepare the hearts of
all mankind to receive their
King and put all of His
enemies underneath His feet,
including death. We will
complete His ministry on
this earth as He has
commissioned us to do.
We will challenge all the
world governments to
establish godly principles
of fairness and justice in
their dealings with one
another. We will eradicate
all wars and violence,
poverty and lack off the
face of the entire earth.
There will be no more
oppression or exploitation
of God's people. All men
will be treated with dignity
and respect. We will teach
all mankind to dwell in love
and unity as brothers and
sisters.
All of creation will line up
with the words that we
speak, that mirror those of
almighty God. We will take
dominion over all forces of
nature, including the
climate, and eliminate all
disasters that bring
devastation and destruction
in their wake. Plants and
animals will be in harmony
with one another, and
subject to man once again.
We will reverse all the
effects of pollution and
cleanse the planet of all
its contamination.
The entire world will be
renovated, restructured and
refurbished, so that heaven
can be brought here in the
everlasting Kingdom of God.
We are returning to the
original perfection of the
Garden of Eden. The Lord
will actually come and take
up residence with us on His
holy mountain outside New
Jerusalem. We will thrive
in His loving providence for
us. The Kingdom will be a
veritable paradise for both
God and man.
Mustered For Battle
Isaiah 13:3-4 “I have
commanded my sanctified
ones, I have also called my
mighty ones for mine anger,
[even] them that rejoice in
my highness. The noise of a
multitude in the mountains,
like as of a great people; a
tumultuous noise of the
kingdoms of nations gathered
together: the LORD of hosts
mustereth the host of the
battle.”
Not everything that the Lord
asks us to do in the
critical days that lie ahead
of us will be pleasant or
easy for us. We will be
involved in a spiritual
battle of good vs. evil that
encompasses all of
creation. The Lord will
muster His holy saints for
warfare against all the
forces of Satan himself. We
will be groomed and prepared
for a conflict of huge
proportion. However,
nothing we do will be done
in our own strength.
The Lord will anoint us with
divine power and authority
to overcome all evil with
good. We will destroy the
devil and all his minions
and prepare the hearts of
all mankind for the return
of Jesus Christ. Our Lord
and Savior will consummate
all that we have begun on
His behalf, and utterly
decimate the kingdom of
darkness off the face of the
entire earth when He returns
to us. He will rule and
reign with a rod of iron.
Christ will appoint us as
kings and priests to
minister to His people in
His everlasting Kingdom. We
will teach all of mankind to
dwell together as brothers
and sisters in love, peace
and unity. All those who
are non-compliant will be
banished to the eternal lake
of fire, where there will be
wailing and gnashing of
teeth for all time. There
will be nothing and no one
that ever contaminates the
peace and serenity of our
lives.
Joel 2:1-3 “Blow ye the
trumpet in Zion, and sound
an alarm in my holy
mountain: let all the
inhabitants of the land
tremble: for the day of the
LORD cometh, for [it is]
nigh at hand; A day of
darkness and of gloominess,
a day of clouds and of thick
darkness, as the morning
spread upon the mountains: a
great people and a strong;
there hath not been ever the
like, neither shall be any
more after it, [even] to the
years of many generations. A
fire devoureth before them;
and behind them a flame
burneth: the land [is] as
the garden of Eden before
them, and behind them a
desolate wilderness; yea,
and nothing shall escape
them.”
Things have gotten out of
hand on this earth. The
Lord God is vexed with
mankind and determined to
set matters straight before
we destroy one another and
the entire planet. He will
move through His people to
eradicate all evil and
implement godly principles
before it is too late. We
will operate in His divine
power and authority and tear
down all demonic strongholds
that keep men in darkness
and deception.
The sons and daughters of
almighty God will confront
all wickedness that we see
and overcome it with good.
We will challenge all world
governments to establish
peace and unity in their
interactions with one
another. We will eliminate
all poverty and lack in this
world. We will warn men of
the impending judgment and
encourage them to seek
salvation through faith in
Jesus Christ and all that He
did.
Supernatural signs, wonders
and miracles will accompany
us everywhere we go.
Nothing will be impossible
to us. We will preach the
Gospel of the Kingdom of God
and attempt to set all of
mankind free from their
bondage to sin and evil.
Those who are stubborn and
rebellious will be eternally
condemned, but those who are
receptive to the truth will
be saved to eternal life
with all of its many
blessings.
We will usher all of the
righteous into the
everlasting Kingdom of God
and prepare them for the
return of our King. Christ
will take vengeance on all
our enemies and protect us
from all harm. The Lord
will meet all our needs
according to His riches in
glory, even before we ask
Him. Life will be a literal
paradise for us. We are
returning to our origin in
the Garden of Eden, with no
downside whatsoever this
time.
Malachi 4:1-3 “For, behold,
the day cometh, that shall
burn as an oven; and all the
proud, yea, and all that do
wickedly, shall be stubble:
and the day that cometh
shall burn them up, saith
the LORD of hosts, that it
shall leave them neither
root nor branch. But unto
you that fear my name shall
the Sun of righteousness
arise with healing in his
wings; and ye shall go
forth, and grow up as calves
of the stall. And ye shall
tread down the wicked; for
they shall be ashes under
the soles of your feet in
the day that I shall do
[this], saith the LORD of
hosts.”
The Day of the Lord will
come when we least expect
it, but it will change the
face of the entire earth.
We will all be cleansed and
purged by the fire of
almighty God, but only the
righteous will survive His
wrath and indignation. He
will burn all sinfulness out
of us once and for all, so
that we can see Him
face-to-face. We will be
totally changed from the
inside out, so we can enter
into the everlasting Kingdom
of God.
We must have a reverent fear
of the Lord at all times.
We owe Him all of our
gratitude and affection,
deference and respect,
praise and honor. He is our
Creator and sustains us in
all that we do, but we can
never take our position for
granted or be careless in
our relationship with Him.
He has provided us with
redemption and now we must
share it with others or they
will perish in their
ignorance and rebellion.
The Lord, Jesus Christ, will
soon return to us. He is
not playing with those who
are wicked. He will not
give them another
opportunity to get it
right. He will destroy them
in the wrath of His coming.
He plans to rid this world
of all its ungodliness and
banish those who are
unrepentant to the
unquenchable lake of fire.
He will cast Satan and all
of his minions into the
abyss, so that they can no
longer harm God's people.
There will be nothing
defiling that ever enters
into the Kingdom of God.
Our heavenly Father will
actually come and dwell with
us, and no evil can survive
in His holy presence. Only
those who are righteous,
loving and obedient will
have all the blessings of
eternal life. We will live
forever as beloved sons and
daughters, and He will
provide all of our needs in
abundance from all the vast
resources of the universe.
Signs of His Coming
Acts 2:19-21 “And I will
shew wonders in heaven
above, and signs in the
earth beneath; blood, and
fire, and vapour of smoke:
The sun shall be turned into
darkness, and the moon into
blood, before that great and
notable day of the Lord
come: And it shall come to
pass, [that] whosoever shall
call on the name of the Lord
shall be saved.”
It's time for a wake-up
call. We cannot be doing
our own thing any longer.
The Lord will not tolerate
selfishness and rebellion in
any of us. If we cry out to
the Lord, He will save us
from all of our
transgressions by the Blood
of His very own Son. We
will have to repent from the
heart, accept Christ as Lord
and Savior and set our lives
on a straight path towards
righteousness and
godliness.
We must sanctify ourselves
of all known sin, obey all
of the commandments and walk
in love at all times. We
cannot be slack in our
thoughts, words or
behavior. We are the sons
and daughters of almighty
God Himself and He expects
great things from us. We
should always be fitting
role models for others. We
will partner with Him in
saving countless numbers of
souls to eternal life, just
as we have been.
Very soon now, the earth
will be dark and dismal as
never before. Men will be
extremely afraid of what is
coming on them. We will be
very busy sharing our faith
and encouraging them to
repent of all their sins.
We will preach the Gospel of
Jesus Christ with fervor and
conviction and set many free
from their bondage to sin
and evil. We will baptize
every man, woman and child
that is receptive to the
truth.
Matthew 24:6-13 “And ye
shall hear of wars and
rumours of wars: see that ye
be not troubled: for all
[these things] must come to
pass, but the end is not
yet. For nation shall rise
against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom: and there
shall be famines, and
pestilences, and
earthquakes, in divers
places. All these [are] the
beginning of sorrows. Then
shall they deliver you up to
be afflicted, and shall kill
you: and ye shall be hated
of all nations for my name's
sake. And then shall many be
offended, and shall betray
one another, and shall hate
one another. And many false
prophets shall rise, and
shall deceive many. And
because iniquity shall
abound, the love of many
shall wax cold. But he that
shall endure unto the end,
the same shall be saved.”
We will experience intense
testing, trials and
tribulation as the days
progress until the return of
Christ. We will be hated
and persecuted for our
faith, but we must still
persevere and endure until
the end. We cannot abandon
our sacred charge. The fate
of all mankind rests with
us. We must be diligent to
do the works that Jesus did
while He was on the earth,
and even greater works.
He will imbue us with His
very own anointing - divine
power and authority - to act
in His stead. We are the
Body of Christ, His hands
feet and voice. We must
discharge all our duties
with zeal and enthusiasm,
regardless of the resistance
that we may incur. We will
tear down all demonic
strongholds that hold others
in bondage, and set them
free to receive the gift of
eternal life.
We will demonstrate the very
love, mercy and compassion
of almighty God Himself to
all of mankind. We will
heal the sick and afflicted
of all their diseases. We
will cast out demons in
Jesus' name. We will even
raise the dead back to life
once again. The weapons of
our warfare will be
supernatural, and they will
be most powerful for
destroying evil and
overcoming it with good.
All world governments will
be confronted for their
wicked ways. We will
challenge their leaders to
establish godly principles
for dealing with one
another. There will be no
more war, violence or
conflict on this earth.
Poverty and lack will
disappear. Oppression and
exploitation of others will
be things of the past. We
will ensure all men are
treated with dignity and
respect.
There will be natural
disasters, plagues and
pestilences as the Day of
the Lord approaches. False,
Anti-Christ prophets will
arise to try to deceive even
the elect. Men's hearts
will grow cold because of
all that they are called
upon to endure. We will
have to give them hope and
confidence for the future.
We will pray for and
encourage them to trust our
God in all circumstances.
Mark 13:19-23 “For [in]
those days shall be
affliction, such as was not
from the beginning of the
creation which God created
unto this time, neither
shall be. And except that
the Lord had shortened those
days, no flesh should be
saved: but for the elect's
sake, whom he hath chosen,
he hath shortened the days.
And then if any man shall
say to you, Lo, here [is]
Christ; or, lo, [he is]
there; believe [him] not:
For false Christs and false
prophets shall rise, and
shall shew signs and
wonders, to seduce, if [it
were] possible, even the
elect. But take ye heed:
behold, I have foretold you
all things.”
We have had ample warning of
what is to come. The world
will become increasing dark
and chaotic in the days
ahead. Death and
destruction will loom all
around us. Deception will
be at its peak as many false
prophets arise to lead men
astray. Widespread
suffering and affliction
will precede the return of
Jesus Christ. Only those
who firmly trust in God and
endure till the end will be
spared.
If we are saved to eternal
life we need not worry about
our future. Our faith will
continue to grow and
culminate in total victory
very soon now. However,
wickedness and evil will
also reach a crescendo as
the Day of the Lord
approaches. It will cover
the entire earth and
threaten to overpower us.
Our God has no other choice
but to sovereignly act to
save His beloved children
from destruction.
The Kingdom of God suffers
from violence and the
righteous will have to take
it by force. We will
partner with the Lord in
doing everything that He
asks of us in these critical
days to come. We will
overcome the world, our
flesh and the devil. We
will purposely take back the
entire earth for our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ to
return for His everlasting
rule and reign. Nothing
will be impossible to us.
We will combat all evil with
good and rescue many souls
from their bondage to sin
and evil. We will preach
the Gospel in every nation
and see millions baptized in
Jesus' name. Everyone whose
name is written in the
Lamb's Book of Life will be
saved to eternal life. We
will work supernatural
miracles, signs and wonders
to attest to our faith and
glorify our God in all that
we think, say and do.
Luke 21:25-28 “And there
shall be signs in the sun,
and in the moon, and in the
stars; and upon the earth
distress of nations, with
perplexity; the sea and the
waves roaring; Men's hearts
failing them for fear, and
for looking after those
things which are coming on
the earth: for the powers of
heaven shall be shaken. And
then shall they see the Son
of man coming in a cloud
with power and great glory.
And when these things begin
to come to pass, then look
up, and lift up your heads;
for your redemption draweth
nigh.”
The powers of the heavens
will be shaken to the core
and mankind will be in
distress as never before.
We will have to calm them
down and give them hope and
confidence for their
future. If they choose to
repent of all their sins and
believe in Jesus Christ,
they will be spared from
total destruction. However,
if they continue to be
sinful and rebellious, they
will go to perdition.
We will confront all
wickedness that we see and
warn many of the impending
judgment that is coming on
all of us. We will take
control of all world
governments and regulate
their activities according
to godly principles. We
will put an end to all
social injustice; eradicate
poverty and lack; end all
oppression and exploitation
of others; and abolish wars,
violence and bloodshed.
The Body of Christ will
speak to all of creation and
take dominion over nature,
as we have been authorized
to do. We will make certain
that the climate is
regulated, so there are no
more natural disasters that
cause death and destruction
in their wake. We will
reverse the effects of all
pollution and command all of
the plants and animals to be
in perfect harmony with one
another.
We will prepare the entire
earth for the return of
Jesus Christ to receive His
everlasting Kingdom from
us. Very soon now, He will
come back with vengeance in
His heart to destroy all the
enemies of His people. He
will vindicate us before
both men and angels and
destroy all the ungodly.
Christ will restore all that
we have lost or had stolen
and gather us to Himself for
all of eternity.
Looking For His Blessed
Appearance
Romans 13:11-14 “And that,
knowing the time, that now
[it is] high time to awake
out of sleep: for now [is]
our salvation nearer than
when we believed. The night
is far spent, the day is at
hand: let us therefore cast
off the works of darkness,
and let us put on the armour
of light. Let us walk
honestly, as in the day; not
in rioting and drunkenness,
not in chambering and
wantonness, not in strife
and envying. But put ye on
the Lord Jesus Christ, and
make not provision for the
flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts
[thereof].”
We have had more than
sufficient warning of what
will soon transpire on this
earth. It is time that we
prepare ourselves for the
Day of the Lord and
expectantly await the return
of our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ, to complete
our redemption in spirit,
soul and body. We have to
sanctify ourselves of all of
our worldliness, and make
certain that we are always
righteous and loving.
It is imperative that we
keep all of the commandments
and teach others to do the
same. The Lord will
tolerate no compromise in
any of us. He will reward
those who are obedient and
trust in Him, and punish all
those who are stubborn and
rebellious. No one will
escape His scrutiny; He will
hold us all accountable for
our works in the flesh and
judge us according to His
perfect standards.
We should be concerned about
eternal ramifications for
our lives, not mundane needs
and challenges. If we seek
the Kingdom of God above all
things, the Lord will be
faithful to provide all that
we require to endure until
His coming. We must put His
plans and purposes above our
very own and seek to
implement His express will.
We have divine destinies to
fulfill in the critical days
ahead.
Titus 2:11-13 “For the grace
of God that bringeth
salvation hath appeared to
all men, Teaching us that,
denying ungodliness and
worldly lusts, we should
live soberly, righteously,
and godly, in this present
world; Looking for that
blessed hope, and the
glorious appearing of the
great God and our Saviour
Jesus Christ;”
It will be extremely
important how we conduct
ourselves for others to
see. We must be godly role
models in order to lead men
out of darkness and
deception. We will have to
prove to them that our God
is a good God who provides
for and protects His people
at all times. We will have
to demonstrate sound moral
values in our lives and
encourage others to seek the
Lord for themselves.
We will lead by example and
share our faith with power
and conviction, so that men,
women and children
everywhere can be saved to
eternal life, as we have
been. We will preach the
Gospel of the Kingdom of God
and prepare the hearts of
all mankind to receive Jesus
Christ as their King. Those
who are receptive to the
truth will be born again,
baptized in His name and
redeemed for all time.
However, those who are
resistant to our efforts
will perish in their own
ignorance and rebellion.
They will not be given
another opportunity to get
it right. They will be
judged in all their
sinfulness and found to be
guilty, and banished to
punishment in the eternal
lake of fire. Only those
who are uncompromisingly
righteous, loving and
obedient will ever enter
into God's awesome presence.
1Corinthians 1:4-8 “I thank
my God always on your
behalf, for the grace of God
which is given you by Jesus
Christ; That in every thing
ye are enriched by him, in
all utterance, and [in] all
knowledge; Even as the
testimony of Christ was
confirmed in you:So that
ye come behind in no gift;
waiting for the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ: Who
shall also confirm you unto
the end, [that ye may be]
blameless in the day of our
Lord Jesus Christ. “
We have unmerited favor and
grace with almighty God
through our faith in His
Son, Jesus Christ. We can
appropriate His perfect
righteousness as our own.
We are new creatures in
Christ; all things have been
made new for us. We are
joint-heirs with Him to all
the promises of God. The
Lord will boast of us to all
creation as His very own
beloved sons and daughters.
With privilege comes
responsibility. We have
eternal destinies to fulfill
before Christ returns to
us. We have to resume His
ministry on this earth where
He left off. He wants us to
preach the Gospel to all the
nations of the world and
baptize others in His name.
We will heal the sick of all
their diseases, cast out
demons and even raise the
dead back to life once
again.
Nothing will be impossible
to us as the return of our
Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ, approaches. We will
work miracles, signs and
wonders to attest to our
faith, and take back the
entire earth for the Kingdom
of God. The fate of all
mankind will be altered. We
will make the truth
available to every man,
woman and child that we
meet, so that they can be
saved as we are.
The followers of Jesus
Christ are blessed without
measure. Very soon now the
Lord will gather us to
Himself in His everlasting
Kingdom on this earth. We
will inherit eternal life
and all of its many
benefits. We are going back
to our origin in the Garden
of Eden, but there will be
no downside this time. Life
in the Kingdom of God will
be a literal paradise for
all of us.
