Isa. 60:2 “Nations will come to you, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.” We are not going to heaven, heaven will come down to us on earth. Unprecedented glory is coming to the church and it will come in the context of great crisis being released on the earth.
The Why
It is the prayers of the saints amidst great crisis that will release God’s glory.
Rev.5:8 Speaks of the prayers of God’s people and the presence of a harp and golden bowls which represent those prayers.
Rev. 8:3,4 Right before the release of the trumpets, another angel was given much incense to offer with the prayers of God’s people.
What Deep Darkness Looks Like
Eph. 1:10 A crisis is part of God’s end time purpose. Deep darkness looks like sickness, financial problems, relationship upheaval, spiritual turmoil, issues on a national level such as AIDS and moral upheaval. There are also issues on an international level with occultic cartoons etc.
It is only within the context of darkness that we understand our great and desperate need for light. The darker things become, the more that we understand that we need God.
What the Church Will Look Like
-There will be great peace and unity among believers.
-There will be great prosperity in our businesses and careers.
-There will be great power over sickness, disease and demons.
-There will be power to walk in rigid righteousness and happy holiness.
This will ultimately result in the greatest global outpouring of the Spirit ever experienced in all history. Isa.60; Rev. 7:9-14 speak of the outpouring of God’s Spirit.
Our Responsibility
We are called to have faith since it activates the promises of God.
Heb.3:9 The Spirit of God has tested you, tried you; make sure that there is not an evil heart of unbelief in you. Faith first means changing the way that we think. What are you really thinking about? What do you believe are the possibilities for your life? Can you see yourself totally healed of cancer, free of diabetes?
God’s Word says in Job 22:28 that you shall decree a thing and it shall come to pass.
Take massive action for God. Do not procrastinate, especially when it comes to business. So change the way that you think, talk and act. We are afraid of failure and often hesitate to act. If you are not ready to take the risk, you will not get the reward.
