Scripture: Ephesians 1 v 17 -19: "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him:
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened: that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,"
This is the perfect prayer from Paul. It can be used to pray for everyone we know and cause many to come nearer to God. Let's look at it more closely.
Our Father wants us to know Him through spiritual revelation, because He is a Spirit and can only be known when we seek Him in spirit and truth. It takes wisdom to discern Him in Spirit but it opens our spiritual eyes to know what His true calling for us is, which He hopes we will achieve, and excel at.
Through achieving our true calling we will gain the riches of His inheritance. It works together with all the other saints (born again Christians) to effectively accomplish His will on Earth. 'Our Father which art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven ...'
The highest and best achievement of His children is when His perfect will is done on Earth as He sees it in Heaven. When we maintain a holy lifestyle, walking in love towards one another, united in prayer and obeying sound doctrine, then our names are written on the palms of His hands. Isaiah 49 v 16: " Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me."
In Proverbs there are many mentions of growing in wisdom as something we must hold onto. The comparisons between the wise and foolish leave us in no doubt about God's preferences.
James 1 v 5 - 6: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed."
As long as we ask in faith without doubt and wavering, we will receive wisdom. We kill it when after it has been given we say "I wonder if this is really from God?" Rather rejoice that He has opened our hearts and eyes to understand deeper things.
Revelations come when we are very desirous of knowing God more deeply. Peter was very close to Jesus, and when Jesus asked His disciples, Who do men say that I am? Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God."
Jesus said to Peter, Flesh and blood humans could not have revealed this to you but only My Father in Heaven. Upon the rock of this revelation the church will be built. The church was not built on or around Peter and he was not the first Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. In fact, the Church of Jesus Christ has no Pope, no Pontiff, nor Vicar of Christ.
It has no Archbishops, Cardinals, Monseignors, Fathers, or any such titles. It has no celibate priesthood nor Mother Superior and celibate nuns. Be not deceived, the Catholic Church has elevated Mary to Co-Redeemer with Christ and that she was ascended into Heaven like Jesus.
In Christianity there are no Confessionals, no Mass, no transubstantiation of a wafer into the actual Body of Jesus, or wine into His actual Blood. Holy Communion began at the Last Supper Jesus had with His disciples. It was the commencement of the New Covenant. During this holy meal Judas betrayed Him to the Jewish Priests, who betrayed Him to the the Romans who crucified Him.
The fire that consumed Notre Dame Cathedral a few years ago was probably no accident. It could be that God is judging the Catholic cult worship of "Mary" whom He refers to as "the Beast". When the Antichrist arrives, his unholy trinity will consist of himself, the Beast and the False Prophet.
Revelation 19 v 19 - 21: "And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh."
The image of the Beast is the statue of Mary in thousands of churches and millions of homes. I asked the Lord to confirm it and I found a chapter in Hislop's book, "The Two Babylons" titled 'The Beast is Mary'! Not Mary the Mother of Jesus, but Mary, Queen of Heaven, Astoreth, Semiramis, high priestess and goddess of Babylon.
When the Antichrist appears the image of Mary, possibly a hologram, will be worshipped by every person on Earth who is not a born again Christian. The spirit of the Beast will have full control. Over a billion people already worship her, billions of Hail Mary prayers on rosary beads, are uttered fervently every day. For every 10 prayers to Mary there is 1 Our Father and 1 Glory Be. Does this sound right to you?
Interfaith is already dominated by the Catholic Church, drawing in other religions including the mainline churches and other faiths into the One World Church. I beat this drum continually I know. But I hope those who are in vulnerable religious practices will see it and escape from this most evil set up.
The False Prophet is well known for ruthless violence and murder of Christians, Jews and innocent citizens all over the world. They are all deceived that worship him. The world governments are controlled by the Antichrist which is rapidly rising. One of his pets is the WEF, World Economic Forum, which has made statements like our physical identity will be merged with our digital one. Biometric passports, visas, ID documents.
The last hundred years has seen the introduction of all these innovative transformation agendas to bring the unsaved people under one umbrella. Earlier this month Sir Keir Starmer became Prime Minister of Britain and lost no time announcing that Brexit has failed and its time to renegotiate with the EU. The Antichrist wants everything United under his rule. The United States, United Europe, that's the plan, with the African Union doing its best.
But Putin trying to re-form the USSR starting with Ukraine - that's not on the agenda and it has backfired badly. Russia is part of BRICS: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa. There are forty other countries lining up to join them. They all seem to want Ukraine to be separate from Europe and part of BRICS. They are all at war against the American Dollar. Their plan is to roll out CBCD'S, digital currency they say is backed by the gold standard.
We are in the end times! Who knows it and who is prepared? This is a prophetic warning that should be broadcast world wide but the powers that be are keeping silent. They know what's coming and warn no one. This is revelation and wisdom and some will be shocked. It's easier to ignore it and pretend that the future is filled with everything good. No one enjoys gloom and doom. However, the truth must be told so Christians can unite into one body to await the coming of the Lord.
David Wilkerson prophesied it years ago in his book, The Vision, which tormented him for many months. He said it starts when the price of gold reaches $800 and beyond. We are well beyond that now. The Word of God is more relevant than tomorrow's News Bulletins. The prophetic word from the mouths of true prophets is being ignored and it is time to listen up.
The people prophesying a bright future for those who keep their bank accounts filled is believed and there is no wisdom in it. The people continuously electing Godless communists as good rulers with great promises, are deceived and enslaved to poverty.
The Lord opened my eyes to much more spiritual reality and the spiritual treasures have never stopped coming. When we enter into the heart of God we find true wealth. We need all the treasures in His storehouse to be able to make a real and permanent difference in the lives of those He sends our way.
We need the anointing of the Holy Spirit every minute of every day so we may stay connected to God for wisdom and revelation teaching. It is fully trustworthy and true. God hates lies so there will be no untruths in His revelations. The end result is that we abide or stay secure in Him.
In Proverbs Solomon encourages us to seek wisdom and understanding; to lean not on our own understanding but trust in the Lord. This is how we find favour with God and man so let us obey these words and be blessed.
So don't think we can handle what is coming upon us without God's help and guidance. He loves us and we are saved and ready to be rescued on a day, hour and minute that only He knows. Many will come to be saved in the days ahead and we must all be alert and ready to do our part in helping them make it into God's Kingdom.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, You are so vast that the Earth is Your footstool. Our finite minds struggle to know You but through revelation in our spirit we know Your love for us, Your hopes for us to fulfil our true calling. We pray this day for our eyes to be enlightened with Your wisdom so we can find favour with You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
