The Kingdom of
God!
Chapter 40
A word from the Lord last week through Pastor Kent Christmas,
For many have said, "Lord, you
have failed us because you did not come through for us!" Know this, saith the
Lord, "I am never too late! I am always on time!" I thy God saith to thee now,
"Watch Me now, for I am going to shake the earth and I am going to shake the
heavens!" "I am going to shake the earth because of the blood of the innocent
that has been shed in the soil, not only in this nation but around the world."
"Because of the shedding of this innocent blood, I am now going to judge the
Nations for what they have done to the innocent around the world. And I am
going to send an earth quake around the world and it won't just be in this
nation but I am going to begin to shake all nations!
This wont just be spiritual
earth quake but this is going to be a natural earth quake and it will be like
nothing you have ever seen. There will be many, many casualties because I am
going to put the fear of the Lord back in this world.
"Even though you think that I
have failed, I am not yet done with the election. I have warned you not to touch
my anointed and to do my prophets no harm! I made Donald Trump My anointed and
you have touched him", saith God to the wicked. "You have touched My anointed
and I will restore that man!" says God, "Because I am King of Kings and Lord of
Lords, and though you have mocked Me and have stood and said that this cannot
happen! I'm God, saith the Lord, and I have raised up Kings and I have put down
Kings!
"And to those that have mocked My
prophets, saith God, I am in an hour that I am vindicating My prophets!" "For I
have waited a season to uncover the false prophets and those who would "ot
stand for My word. And also in this hour, saith God, I am allowing those
churches to fold who did not honor My presence and I withdrew My presence from
them. They will not come back and I will take their buildings and their
facilities and I will give them to the righteous!"
"For did I not say I would give
you vineyards you have not planted and houses that you have not built!" says
the Lord. "For I am uncovering the muscle of My arm in this hour and I also say
to you to watch the domes, watch the domes, watch the domes! Watch the dome in
Jerusalem, watch the dome in Roam, and watch the dome in Washington DC. For
they have risen up and have rebelled against My hand and there shall be a crack
by the hands of God which shall begin to rock against the very nations of this
earth.
"For this is My hour!" saith God.
"And there are those who have said that the Church is dead and she is week and
she has been defeated." "But know this! Saith the Lord, "I will not come back
for a Church that is week, that is spotted, that is wrinkled and that is
defiled! For the time has long been that men have said that I am done!" "But
know this, that by the end of 2024, the light of the glorious God will be so
bright in the earth that men and women will be drawn to My presence and to My
Spirit!"
'For this is not just a revival,
but this is the final harvest!" saith the Lord. I am going to draw My people
from all nations and I am going to cause the wicked to bow down to the hand of
the almighty and I am going to fill my house, not only
with souls, but with the glory and the honor and the majesty of God."
"So, choose what side you are on, for evil has triumphed but I say to them that day is over! This is the day of the Church! This is the day of the glory of God! I am going to cause the wicked to turn on each other and I will send them a devouring spirit and I will cause them to tell each other secrets in the public square and they will reveal the evil that has been done out of their own mouth. For I am God, saith the Lord and I bow down to no man. This is My hour and this is My time!" Saith the Lord!
Did you hear the anger in the
Lord's word? I would hate to be on the receiving end of those decrees of
judgement! The Lord is speaking through His prophets all over the world this
same message. We have been privileged to live in the time of the greatest
outpouring of the grace of God that this world will ever see. However, the Lord
is fed up with the belligerent! Just because the Lord is not speaking through
prophets in your church, don't doubt His Word for it shall come to pass even as
He has spoken.
The Lord is speaking some very
powerful prophetic things relevant to our current season. Even though the
darkness in this world seems to be increasing, we want to share something with
you that we know will uplift your spirit.
One of the key prophetic words
that has been given in that 2021 is a year to celebrate the victory of the Lord
like never before. This is a year of victory for the Church. But given the
challenging nature of many things happening in the world right now, we
understand why it can be exceptionally difficult to celebrate victory.
The culture around us is raging
out of control. When you see the agenda of darkness and evil advance, some even
wonder if we are already under God's judgment in our nation. But consider this;
You cannot celebrate a victory without first engaging in a battle! Evil is
advancing all around us which is setting us up for the greatest victories we
have ever experienced!
Throughout the Bible, when Israel
was backed into a corner that they could not get out, the Lord would move on
their behalf. Things have changed, somewhat, since the cross, because we now
have the Spirit of the Lord living within us and we have been given authority
to approach the throne of grace and present our problems directly to our
Father. Heb. 4:16 (NIV) says,
"Let
us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive
mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."
Not only that, but He has given
us authority over demons and all the work of the devil. In Mark 16:17-18 Jesus
said,
These signs shall follow them that believe;
In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it
shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
The Church has authority on this earth, as
led and directed by the Holy Spirit of God, to rule this earth. Unfortunately,
in the past, because of the teachings of men and demons, the Church has denied
the power of the gospel. Paul said in 2 Tim. 3:5,
Having a form of
godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
Jesus told His disciples in Acts 1:7-8,
"It is not for you to know the times or the
seasons, which the Father has put in his own
power. But you shall receive power, after the Holy Ghost is come upon you:
and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in
Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
The Apostle Paul said in Eph. 1:16-23, (NIV)
For this reason, ever since I heard about
your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God
's people, I have not
stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation,
so that you may know Him better.
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be
enlightened in order that
you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of his glorious
inheritance in His holy people, and His
incomparably great power for us who believe.
That
power is the same as the mighty strength He exerted when He raised Christ from
the dead and seated him
at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority,
power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age
but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and
appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the
fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
That same power is available to us today
through the baptism of His Holy Spirit! We shall receive power when the Holy
Spirit comes upon us, for out of our bellies shall flow rivers of living water.
Jesus said in John 7:37-39,
"If any man thirst, let him come unto
me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture has
said, out of his belly
shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spoke He of
the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy
Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)"
When I was searching for truth, concerning
the baptism of the Holy Spirit, I could not deny these scriptures but had to
come to the conclusion that this was for all who believe in Jesus Christ. The
gifts or manifestations of the Holy Spirit is what Paul spoke about in 1 Cor.
12:4-11,
"Now there are diversities of
gifts, but the same Spirit and there are differences of
administrations, but the same Lord. And there are
diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in
all. But the manifestation of
the Spirit is given to every man to profit all."
For to one is given by the Spirit
the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same
Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of
healing by the same Spirit; to another the working of
miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to
another divers kinds of tongues; to another the
interpretation of tongues: but all these works the one and
the selfsame Spirit, dividing
to every man severally as he will.
All of these gifts are manifestations of the
Holy Spirit as He wills. We can stop these manifestations of the Spirit by not
being willing to allow Him to use us but we cannot control the gifts as to when
they manifest. The baptism of the Holy Spirit comes, as all things come from
the Lord, by faith! The disciples on the Day of Pentecost, by faith, were
awaiting the promise of Jesus when the Holy Spirit descended upon them.
The promise of the Lord in Joel 2:28-32 is
about to be poured out without measure,
"And it shall come
to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh;
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream
dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also, upon
the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my
spirit. And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the
earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall
be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the
terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to
pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be
delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD
has said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call."
I want to really encourage you that the Lord
is not though with our nation. He did not raise us up to be destroyed by evil
forces. The best days of our nation lie ahead of us as the remnant of the
Church stands up in the face of evil and declares the will of our Father with
power and authority.
