End Times and The House of Prayer

A quick look at the parable of the sower and the parable of the revealed light (Luke 8:11-18) and how they are connected.

Praying for discernment in love is essential to avoid offense as the day of Jesus' return draws near:
Phillippians 1:9And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
10that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ,

The Sifting of the Church Happening Right Now (17 mins)

The Sixth Seal of the Book of Revelation ties together three specific elements:
1. The Pouring Out of the Spirit/Opening of Heaven
2. The casting out of Satan and his host from heaven to the earth
3. A war against God's as a result of Satan being cast out.
It is important to understand what is happening right now. The fulfillment of these prophecies happens in a seemingly slow and painful process with acute and fast changes to the reality....like a baby being born. Although the process of a baby being born takes 9 months of very slow changes, it's all building to more and more intensity... contraction, then nothing, closer and closer together until the final moments of intense pain and joy...
This is where we are...in the contractions... just getting to the hospital, intensity building. False prophets are trying to talk the church out of the hospital and I to the street to fight the very baby coming forward. Don't be deceived .
understanding will guard you. The fear of the Lord will begin filling you with wisdom if you want it.
Praying this message help shine light on what is happening all around us.

We live in an unprecedented moment of time when the Church is aligning with politicians to roll out a "peace plan" for Israel. This is incredibly dangerous and offensive to God.
There is only One Biblical peace plan for Israel. Do you know what it is?
All of the parameters and final status issues have already been decided...thousands of years ago they were written out. Many will follow the crowd out of true relationship with Jesus into delusion in this hour. Find out for yourself what the Bible says.
We pray for the things God does, we obey the things he tells man to do.  Peace is His, prayer is ours.

On December 10, 2018, the temple movement in Israel consecrated an altar designed to be quickly moved on to the temple mount. This was a major advance in the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. Many are erroneously believing a Temple has to be built for the prophecies of Jesus' return to be fulfilled. That isn't totally accurate. We need humility and soft hearts to see what is happening in Israel the way Jesus does. The Pharisees were experts in prophecy, yet missed the Messiah they looked for. Their mistake was thinking they understood the prophecy, rather than spend time looking to be corrected about what the prophecy really meant.

If you believe Jesus is returning soon, you want to be careful how you think about that and respond to it. We get ready for Jesus not by controlling our lives and kid's lives into a false reality, but rather learning faith and patience in the context of regular life.
 
Nowhere in the gospel do we see the disciples isolating themselves with food, water and swords to wait out the intense events promised in the Bible. No, instead we see them daily dying to their fears and control and living as Jesus.
 
This is the only plan for the end times. It is in the pressure of giving ourselves to God in the responsibilities of daily life that our hearts really grow!
 
The Gospel is the only answer to the end times, and it's ALWAYS the right time to do the Gospel!

Right now the Church is rife with division and offence. The Bible makes clear that a delay in the return of the Lord brings this about. Many are embracing the idea of delaying the darkness...delaying the trouble by political alliances. This is a big mistake. The delay is a test of faith and desire. The Spirit and the Bride say "even so, come." They don't want a delay!
