Fall 2015: Ripening of the Earth (57 min)

Many are talking about the events of this fall.  It is easy to be deceived.  I do believe this fall will be significant, but I am also clear on what the Bible says:  many will totally miss what God is doing in it.  Many won’t see what is clearly happening, even if they “know” things they think will happen…even if those very things happen.

I hear the Lord saying these two passages are essential right now:

Isaiah 30:8-14  Now go, write it before them on a tablet, And note it on a scroll, That it may be for time to come, Forever and ever:  9  That this is a rebellious people, Lying children, Children who will not hear the law of the LORD;  10  Who say to the seers, "Do not see," And to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us right things; Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.  11  Get out of the way, Turn aside from the path, Cause the Holy One of Israel To cease from before us."  12  Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel: "Because you despise this word, And trust in oppression and perversity, And rely on them,  13  Therefore this iniquity shall be to you Like a breach ready to fall, A bulge in a high wall, Whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant.  14  And He shall break it like the breaking of the potter's vessel, Which is broken in pieces; He shall not spare. So there shall not be found among its fragments A shard to take fire from the hearth, Or to take water from the cistern."

 

And

 

Isaiah 8:9-17  "Be shattered, O you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Give ear, all you from far countries. Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces; Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces.  10  Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing; Speak the word, but it will not stand, For God is with us."  11  For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:  12  "Do not say, 'A conspiracy,' Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.  13  The LORD of hosts, Him you shall hallow; Let Him be your fear, And let Him be your dread.  14  He will be as a sanctuary, But a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense To both the houses of Israel, As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.  15  And many among them shall stumble; They shall fall and be broken, Be snared and taken."  16  Bind up the testimony, Seal the law among my disciples.  17  And I will wait on the LORD, Who hides His face from the house of Jacob; And I will hope in Him.

 

Don’t make decision on things you are imagining to happen this fall.  Make decision that were always the right ones anyway…respond to the Lord NOW, while there is time.

What to Watch for #6 - Increasing Contractions (11 min)

The birthpangs have become the contractions...the contractions are the labor at home...designed to prepare the church for the delivery, which the world will feel: seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls...the final 21 contractions of delivery...

John 16:20-21  Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.  21  A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

 Romans 8:18-22  For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.  19  For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.  20  For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;  21  because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.  22  For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.

Sudden Destruction is Promised to Come (3 min)

1 Corinthians 14:8  For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle?

 

1 Thessalonians 5:1-5  But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.  2  For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.  3  For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.  4  But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.  5  You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.

 

Luke 21:34-36  "But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.  35  For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.  36  Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man."

 

Isaiah 30:8-14  Now go, write it before them on a tablet, And note it on a scroll, That it may be for time to come, Forever and ever:  9  That this is a rebellious people, Lying children, Children who will not hear the law of the LORD;  10  Who say to the seers, "Do not see," And to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us right things; Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.  11  Get out of the way, Turn aside from the path, Cause the Holy One of Israel To cease from before us."  12  Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel: "Because you despise this word, And trust in oppression and perversity, And rely on them,  13  Therefore this iniquity shall be to you Like a breach ready to fall, A bulge in a high wall, Whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant.  14  And He shall break it like the breaking of the potter's vessel, Which is broken in pieces; He shall not spare. So there shall not be found among its fragments A shard to take fire from the hearth, Or to take water from the cistern."

 

If you do not listen to the warnings, you are building a fake wall of confidence around you, even though the world is SCREAMING that trouble is coming...when that wall breaks, there won't even be a shard of confidence left.  Take down the wall now so that your heart will respond and build an ark...something that doesn't keep the flood out, but rather floats on it!  You can't stop the flood, or delay the flood, of Jesus' return.  You are supposed to love it...to hasten it.

 

David's Tabernacle IS the ark.

 

·         Noah built an ark and the same flood that killed everyone else lifted him to safety

·         Moses was placed in an ark and drawn out of the water to become a deliverer to God's people

·         David built a tent for the ark of the covenant.  David's Tabernacle, according to every prophet, was for ALL nations:

 

Acts 15:15-17  And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:  16  'AFTER THIS I WILL RETURN AND WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID, WHICH HAS FALLEN DOWN; I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS, AND I WILL SET IT UP;  17  SO THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD, EVEN ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SAYS THE LORD WHO DOES ALL THESE THINGS.'

 

We live in the hour this was warning of...David's Tabernacle is the barn all true grains will be stored in through the trouble:

 

Amos 9:9-12  "For surely I will command, And will sift the house of Israel among all nations, As grain is sifted in a sieve; Yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground.  10  All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, Who say, 'The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.'  11  "On that day I will raise up The tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, And repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, And rebuild it as in the days of old;  12  That they may possess the remnant of Edom,  And all the Gentiles who are called by My name," Says the LORD who does this thing.

What to Watch For #5 - The Emergence of the Antichrist and False Prophet Together (32 min)

The antichrist represents the most powerful political leader...the greatest political hope for humanity.  The false prophet is the most powerful (in the eyes of the world) christian religious leader...the greatest religious hope for humanity.  When they start saying and doing the same things, massive Biblical prophecy is being fulfilled.  This message is entirely grounded in Revelation 13.  Grab your Bible and turn to Rev 13 for this one.

What to Watch For #4 - Falling Away (sifting) of the Church by Division (41 min)

Many national and international Church leaders are stumbling right now.  If you know what to look for, it is easy to see and pray into.  In this hour the Church is being baited into false arguments designed to mislead her into weak places...places further from God.

 

Jesus didn't compromise on truth, but he also didn't organize political and social movements to starve out businesses or protest government actions.  Jesus said "render unto Caesar" because He had his eyes set on one greater than Caesar, food Caesar couldn't give Him, and a plan to crush every rebellious empire with worship...including Caesars!

 

Daniel 2:44-45  And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.  45  Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold—the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure."

 

The only plan that will work in this hour is the SUPERNATURAL one...the one that doesn't even get caught up in false arguments, but rather casts them down.  "Casting an argument down" doesn't mean winning it...it means seeing the arguments for what they are: a distraction from the prayer and intercession that will really take the entire earth for Jesus:

 

2 Corinthians 10:3-5  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.  4  For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,  5  casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

What to Watch For #3 - Night and Day Prayer for Israel (36 min)

One of the primary realities of the end time Church, or Bride, is that she will love her future home as much as Jesus, her groom, does.  This message highlights the promise of this emerging in the earth.  This, IMO, is ESSENTIAL end time information.  Here are the main passages I cover in the message:

Isaiah 52:7-10  How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"  8  Your watchmen shall lift up their voices, With their voices they shall sing together; For they shall see eye to eye When the LORD brings back Zion.  9  Break forth into joy, sing together, You waste places of Jerusalem! For the LORD has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem.  10  The LORD has made bare His holy arm In the eyes of all the nations; And all the ends of the earth shall see The salvation of our God.

Isaiah 62:5-12  For as a young man marries a virgin, So shall your sons marry you; And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, So shall your God rejoice over you.  6  I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent,  7  And give Him no rest till He establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.  8  The LORD has sworn by His right hand And by the arm of His strength: "Surely I will no longer give your grain As food for your enemies; And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine, For which you have labored.  9  But those who have gathered it shall eat it, And praise the LORD; Those who have brought it together shall drink it in My holy courts."  10  Go through, Go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people; Build up, Build up the highway! Take out the stones, Lift up a banner for the peoples!  11  Indeed the LORD has proclaimed To the end of the world: "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Surely your salvation is coming; Behold, His reward is with Him, And His work before Him.' "  12  And they shall call them The Holy People, The Redeemed of the LORD; And you shall be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.

 

 

Romans 10:14-19  How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?  15  And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO PREACH THE GOSPEL OF PEACE, WHO BRING GLAD TIDINGS OF GOOD THINGS!"  16  But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?"  17  So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  18  But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: "THEIR SOUND HAS GONE OUT TO ALL THE EARTH, AND THEIR WORDS TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD."  19  But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: "I WILL PROVOKE YOU TO JEALOUSY BY THOSE WHO ARE NOT A NATION, I WILL MOVE YOU TO ANGER BY A FOOLISH NATION."

 

 

Revelation 12:12-17  Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."  13  Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child.  14  But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.  15  So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.  16  But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.  17  And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

 

 

What to Watch For #2 - Miraculous Provision (21 min)

There are two sides to Jesus' return. It is the "great" and "terrible" day of the Lord because the return of glory to earth is great for those reaching for glory and terrible for those resisting it.  A good thing to watch for is what happens in BOTH camps!

John 14:12-13  "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.  13  And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

John 17:22-23  And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:  23  I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

What to Watch For #1 - "End Time Babylon" (USA) to Judge "Assyria" (ISIS) (21 min)

A quick message on something to watch for in the near future.  When Bashar Al-Assad falls, The US will then crush ISIS.  It will seem like peace is finally beginning to unfold, but this is actually the prelude to the worst times the earth has ever seen:

1 Thessalonians 5:1-4  But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.  2  For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.  3  For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.  4  But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.

The Lord calls the end time Babylon the "Hammer of the Earth"...but He is going to see to it the hammer is destroyed, as well.  This is essential to understand.

Jeremiah 50:16-20  Cut off the sower from Babylon, And him who handles the sickle at harvest time. For fear of the oppressing sword Everyone shall turn to his own people, And everyone shall flee to his own land.  17  "Israel is like scattered sheep; The lions have driven him away. First the king of Assyria devoured him; Now at last this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones."  18  Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, As I have punished the king of Assyria.  19  But I will bring back Israel to his home, And he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan; His soul shall be satisfied on Mount Ephraim and Gilead.  20  In those days and in that time," says the LORD, "The iniquity of Israel shall be sought, but there shall be none; And the sins of Judah, but they shall not be found; For I will pardon those whom I preserve.

Jeremiah 50:23-28  How the hammer of the whole earth has been cut apart and broken! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations! I have laid a snare for you;  24  You have indeed been trapped, O Babylon, And you were not aware; You have been found and also caught, Because you have contended against the LORD.  25  The LORD has opened His armory, And has brought out the weapons of His indignation; For this is the work of the Lord GOD of hosts In the land of the Chaldeans.  26  Come against her from the farthest border; Open her storehouses; Cast her up as heaps of ruins, And destroy her utterly; Let nothing of her be left.  27  Slay all her bulls, Let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them! For their day has come, the time of their punishment.  28  The voice of those who flee and escape from the land of Babylon Declares in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, The vengeance of His temple.
