Reprobate mind
Wrong is right-Right is wrong
Unthinkable decisions worldwide
All nations aligned for God’s end-time plan
US is not a player
Moral fabric broken down
Refiners fires
Purify the Church in preparation for His return
Bridal heart
World leaders
Modern day Pharaohs Separating God’s people from the world
Refiners fires are designed to completely
burn the world out of believers
The hotter the fire, the purer the gold
2 Corinthians 1:8-10 (NIV) We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and
sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under
great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life
itself. 9 Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened
that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 10 He has
delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we
have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us,
The times ahead are going to be rough
But Jesus
The Kingdom Of Heaven
(A Spiritual Goshen)
When Jesus walked on this earth He and His Father:
Established a Spiritual Kingdom (the Kingdom of Heaven)
God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Showed us how to walk in the spiritual kingdom by His life
Jesus lived a life far above all of the dictates of the world
Did nothing of Himself
Established a New Covenant Making New creations (Born once again)
The firstborn of many (Colossians 1:18-19)
Created a new spiritual race of people capable of living in the
Spiritual kingdom
To be in the world but have nothing to do with it and its ways
Provided The Holy Spirit with access directly to God (Personal prayer language)
Be able to communicate spiritually as spiritual beings living in a
spiritual world
To edify and instruct our new spiritual being (1 Cor. 14:4)
He provided a roadmap for us to never be lost again (His Word)
Verified the Old Covenant (Testament)
Documentation of the New Covenant (Testament) He established
Look beyond what you see
and on to what God is doing
2 Corinthians 4:18 (NIV) So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,
but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary,
but what is unseen is eternal.
Reaction to the darkness is imminent
The world and most of the church will walk around wide-eyed in fear
Serving Jesus fully creates a different reality
Long to be like Him – Bridal heart
The heart of Jesus
Prophetic Alert
If you focus on the problems,
you will miss what God is doing
Most people will be concerned only with survival
If we are functioning with the same heart of Jesus,
we will show the world
what Jesus looks like once again
There will be an unprecedented harvest
in the midst of chaos
because the Lord will be evident to
those who are out of answers.
God is actually building a Bride
(That’s what is really going on)
As the church is purified (The bridal Heart of Jesus) we will
be prepared to move in concert with greatest harvest in
all of history as God closes out this season
Completely free God’s people from
all of their attachments to the world and be like Jesus
This season is a time of God calling His people to holiness
Revelation 22:17 (NIV) The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!”
And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come;
and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
So What Now?
