Taking the Land, Part 21

The most basic principle that we must understand about the kingdom is that Jesus is the King of the coming kingdom. That may sound ridiculously obvious, but it has been easily forgotten by those who sought to prepare the way for His kingdom throughout history. Actually, many of the greatest...

Follow the Shaking

     "When he puts forth all his own, he goes before them,
     and the sheep follow him because they know his voice" (John 10:4).
 
     And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised,
     saying, " Yet once more I will shake not only the earth,
     but also the heaven." And this expression&nb

Changed by the Glory

     But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord,
     are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory,
     just as from the Lord, the Spirit (II Corinthians 3:18).

Wake up Grandfather!

As I look out my window I can see Grandfather Mountain. It was named that because it looks like a man lying on his back sleeping. That is the perception that many have of their grandfathers. I have heard it said a number of times by the elderly that they just could not sleep during the daytime until they reached that age. The older we get we probably do need more sleep, but spiritually it is the most important time of all to wake up.

Where is Justice?

Because I have something of a prophetic reputation I am continually asked my opinion about current events. This is a serious problem because I can give my opinion and it is often related as being a prophecy even when I make it clear that it is an opinion and not a prophecy. I do not presume to know the Lord's perspective on everything, or even many things that relate to current events.

The Beauty of Holiness

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in
your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all
your behavior; because it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy" (I Peter 1:14-16).

The Great Ministry

Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation (II Corinthians 5:18-19).

Taking the Land, Part 20

We now want to go into a little more depth about how the Lord has been preparing for the coming of His kingdom throughout this church age. It is important to see this to understand the events that will be coming upon the world at the end of this age and our purpose in preparing the way for the...

The High Calling of God

For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have
been created by Him and for Him (Colossians 1:16).

 
This Scripture makes it clear that we were created by the Son and for the Son. This is carried a little further in Romans 8:29:
