Last Days Believers - Stand In The Gap (notes)

Last Days Believers - Stand In The Gap

Jesus Is The Commander of the rulers of the earth.

Revelation 1:4 New Believers Bible

Jesus Is The One Who established the church to be the enforcers of the Kingdom of heaven on the earth.

Matthew 16:18-20

History Events

  • Have occurred that have shaken believers.
  • Persecution scattered the early church to go and fulfill what Jesus had commissioned them to do in Acts 1:8.
  • God always uses what we think is a set back to be a stepping stone to fulfill God’s purpose.

Great Revelation

  • Was given to a pagan king in a pagan kingdom thousands of years ago.
  • Truths To Look At Today
  • The Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone He wishes and sets over them the lowliest of men.

Daniel 4:17

Kingdom Truths

  • He arranges Kingdom affairs however He wishes, and makes leaders out of losers.
  • His dominion is an eternal dominion; His Kingdom endures from generation to generation.
  • All peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as He pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth.
  • No one can call His rule into question!

We Are

  • At a time in history when God is going to demonstrate His power to the nation and this will impact the world.
  • At a time when the church has a great opportunity to reach many people with the love of God.
  • At a time when the church can impact society for the good.

The Church

Is the enforcer of the Kingdom of Heaven on the earth and the Holy Spirit has anointed us to take dominion in the affairs of men.

In The Next

Couple of years God is going to demonstrate His power to our nation. We will see the hand of God touch us in some amazing ways.

Principles to Revival

  • Righteousness gets God’s attention.
  • Sin gets God’s attention also.

2 Chronicles 7

  • Solomon ends his prayer and fire comes down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the Lord’s house.
  • The priests could not enter into the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord’s house.
  • When the fire came down (God’s Glory filled the temple)
  • The nation bowed down & worshiped God.
  • The king & the people offered sacrifices before the Lord.
  • They dedicated the house of God.

There Are Four Levels

  • They played music unto the Lord
  • They offered burnt offerings
  • They celebrate the feast 7 days
  • On the 8th day they made a solemn assembly
  • The people go home rejoicing

Points To Ponder

  • God talks to the king. “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place to Myself for a house of sacrifice.” If I shut up the heaven and there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people.

The Great Promise of revival is found here.

If My people, who are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways: then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14

God Is Calling

· Christians to prayer, fasting, repentance, sorrow over our sin as a nation.

· If we head the call God will hear, God will forgive, God will heal our nation.

This Is God’s Time

  • So let’s press into God like never before and expect the greatest move of God in history. If we (the church) do not turn to God and ask Him to forgive us for killing almost 50 million innocent unborn babies, we have become immoral, we are a drunken and drug addicted people, we are gluttons and we are selfish; God will judge us so we can turn back to Him.
  • Let’s pray for mercy and for revival. He will hear, He will forgive and He will heal America.
