Scripture: Luke 21 v 25-27: "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory."
We are living in these days and times when these things Jesus spoke of are coming upon the Earth. Some are here already, others on the doorstep. The absolute only hope and joy we have is the coming of Jesus to rescue those who put their faith in Him and obey the Word of God.
The powers of heaven are the Prince of Darkness; the rulers and principalities of Satan's kingdom. Powerful demonic beings who control events on earth. The nature of evil spirits comes from the Chief Thief, Satan, to kill, maim and destroy EVERYTHING!
In the stratosphere above Earth, billions of demons look for ways to destroy our planet. Satan hates God and His Creation, but the only way to affect God is by hurting us. Christians are the Body of His Son.
Colossians 1 v 13, 17 - 18: "13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence."
If we grasp the enormity of who we are we will seek the unity of the Body and the perfect will of God. Because we are still single entities we largely do our own thing. God gave Adam and Eve and all creation their own will to choose whom they will serve. It's all or nothing. No grey areas, no half measures. We cannot serve God and Satan and their are no other options.
Satan's target is everything on Earth. He wants to destroy God's creation through hate, spite, malice, cruelty, violence, death, illness, chaos, mayhem, wars, earthquakes, tsunamis, superstorms, eruptions etc. Whatever God loves is his target from time immemorial. However these powers in the sky are being shaken because when the enemy comes in like a flood, God will raise up a standard.
They are being shaken by two things - the advance of Jesus Christ to take His property back (The Earth is Mine and all who dwell in it), and the anointed prayers of true believers who confront the power of evil day and night. Do not dismiss or underestimate the power of intercession.
I will give you an example of it. A quadriplegic brother in Christ spent a weekend in my home. On the Saturday afternoon we were praying together when he became agitated. He said to me that there is a man dying while blaspheming Jesus and we must urgently pray. We did so and after about twenty minutes the need to pray lifted. We felt peace.
On the Tuesday a worldly workmates came into my office. She needed help understanding. Her brother in law, a profane man who refused to let his family attend church, had an accident with an angle-grinder, which cut across his throat into his shoulder. They rushed him to hospital on the Saturday afternoon. He was on a stretcher left for dead. The following morning the doctors were astonished to find him still breathing but unconscious. They cleaned him up and stitched him together placing him in ICU.
My friend's sister was called to the hospital and on the Monday morning her husband woke up. She said his face was shining like a heavenly being. He told her that he had been on a moving path with others going towards flames when suddenly he was plucked off that path onto a path going the other way. He alone was on that path. He heard the voice of Jesus asking him if he would commit his life to God. This man absolutely promised to do that.
He asked his wife for forgiveness and promised he was forever changed. Within three weeks there were no visible scars on his body. My friend said to me that she just knew I was involved somehow. I shared our time of prayer on the Saturday with her. She said it was the exact time he had cut himself. We praised and thanked the Lord for His mercy and love.
The power of the Holy Spirit, unseen but omnipresent on Earth and in Heaven, protects this planet from total destruction by Satan.
Job 26 v 6 - 13: "Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent."
The Lord God Almighty knows that when the Christians leave this planet the Holy Spirit will go with them. Then the Great Tribulation, called the Wrath of the Lamb will begin, the final 42 months, or three and a half years before the battle of Armageddon takes place. That's when the combined armies of the world under the Antichrist, the manifested presence of Satan, attack Israel.
It is possible that this latest war between Hamas and Israel could be a trigger for Armageddon. That's when all the armies of the world attack Israel. The forces of darkness have incited many people of the world to hate Israel, who are trying to avoid annihilation and find the hostages being held by Hamas. The terrorists have hidden the bodies in tunnels under hospitals and even under UN headquarters another four dead hostages were found a few days ago. In face the same day the UN demanded Israel to stop the retaliation. Over 100 Israeli hostages are still being sexually abused and tortured in Gaza. If you were one of those hostages whose side would you be on? On the day of that UN court order 900 Hamas terrorists surrendered to Israel.
2 Thessalonians 2 v 7 - 10: "For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved."
In verse 7, it means that He, the Holy Spirit, who now prevents Satan destroying the Earth will keep doing this until He is taken out of the way. That will happen in the Rapture of believers. The Holy Spirit will return to open the eyes of Israel when the Antichrist steps into the Holy of Holies to declare himself God. Finally Israel will call on Jesus on the very last page of the Bible.
Revelation 22 v 17: "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."
Before that the Wicked Satan will be known and will be defeated at Armageddon, when he sends the world's armies to finally destroy a defiant Israel busy escaping to the mountains of Petra in Jordan. Satan is able to deceive. the world because they received not the love of the truth about Jesus. The powers of heaven above will be shaken and more than that, overcome by the One who is greater than them all.
True believers are those who refuse to compromise with false doctrines, abounding in the churches which have exchanged enlightenment for entertainment; who have swapped preaching against sin for improving your self-image; who have become part of the heretical Interfaith Movement in which all paths lead to God. Not. Being politically correct and defying God's will lead this one world church down a fiery path. No one will be praying for their salvation.
Jesus said there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth among those who say Lord, Lord, we prophesied in your name and did miracles. He will tell them, I never knew you; depart from Me those who did not do the will of My Father; those who preferred sin to righteousness.
Actually we are supposed to keep the devil and his sinfulness out of our lives and churches. It is sad that unfortunately he has been let loose to deceive, trick and destroy at will. And he is winning hands down.
I am an Intercessor, a watchman. God says if I do not warn you then even though you die I will be held guilty of not warning you and thereby will be guilty of your death and loss to the kingdom of God. So I am saying it as plain as can be. The heavens where these demons operate from are being shaken by true prophets, Watchmen, prayer warriors to cause the demons to fall, and to rescue the people who have fallen into sin. They are pulling down the strongholds of Satan over humans and institutions and governments bound by allegiance to the Antichrist.
Ezekiel 33 v 6 - 8: "But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand."
Come out of the places of compromise, error, cult behaviour, contamination contrary to the Word of God. The revival will start with weeping for sin not laughter at God. It will cleanse your heart, mind and flesh of all evil and restore you to truth and righteousness. The powers of heaven are shaken and will fall. Their fall will cause Earth to be hotter and weather out of control like droughts or floods or superstorms. Christianity is not a bed of roses, it is the only way out of this war zone.
The shaken power's fall will cause earthquakes, tsunamis, famine, and many tribulations but our joy is not compromised because our eternal King is coming for us. His name is Jesus Christ and He knows all things. He knows who are His. Be sure you are one of them.
Prayer: Heavenly Father it will soon be over and we will be home with You in Heaven where there is joy forever more. No sickness, nor tears, nor suffering, nor death. No more war either, so please protect Your people in Israel.
We will rejoice in Your presence and worship You for our salvation. Touch them all Father, who are wandering in darkness. Send Your Light to show the true path. In Jesus' name. Amen.
