Last Days Believers - Prophetic Vision (notes)

Last Days Believers - Prophetic Vision

Joel predicted a time in history when God would pour out His Spirit upon humanity.

Vision

  • Is one of the manners in which God communicates with His people.
  • Is God opening up our minds and hearts to see into the future.

God is pouring out His Spirit upon people everywhere and He is giving visions about the direction He desires His church to go in.

Proverbs 29:18

Where there is no vision, the people perish…

Warning!

Where people do not accept Divine guidance, they run wild.

(New Living Translation)

Without A Vision

  • People can not see what God is doing.
  • People can not see what we are supposed to be doing.
  • People will die spiritually.
  • People will stumble all over themselves.

The Vision

  • Of Jesus Christ is for all the world to hear the Gospel of the Kingdom.
“And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations and then the end will come.”

(Matthew 24:14)

Prophecy

Psalm 144

Keys To Seeing Our Future:

  1. Worship
  2. Spiritual Warfare
  3. Know God is sovereign
  4. Trust in God
  5. Humility
  6. God’s Power
  7. Deliverance
  8. God using our children
  9. In gathering of multitude

God Will Do a mighty work among us as we follow the keys found in Ps. 144.

During Past Movements

God restored truths the church lost.

In the last movement we will see a complete restoration of the church to the place of glory and honor.

God Will

  • Restore everything we have lost.
  • Remove our shame.
  • Refresh His people.

Joel 2:18-27

  • God will restore us to a place of influence.
  • God will take away our stigma of failure.
  • God will grant us greatness.

How To Discover & Get Ready For What God Will Do:

  1. Repent of all the things we done in our own strength.
  2. Allow God to do what He wants to do in us and through us.
  3. Pray and obey.

Joel 2:12

  • Turn to me with all your heart and with fasting and with weeping and with mourning and rend your heart, and not your garments and turn unto the Lord your God: for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness and repenteth Him of the evil.

Jesus Said

  • That He would baptize people with the Holy Spirit and fire. The fire is the glory of the Lord that Moses saw, that Isaiah talked about that Ezekiel saw & Haggai predicted would fill the temple in the last days. Visions & dreams will result from the baptism in fire.
