Last Days Believers - Commander In Chief (notes)

Last Days Believers - Commander In Chief

Jesus Is

  • The Commander of the rulers of the earth.

Revelation 1:4 New Believers Bible

Jesus Is The One

  • In charge of every government, every nation, every kingdom-both spiritual and natural.
  • In charge of the armies of heaven-who control the armies of the earth.

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.

Kingdom Truths:

  • 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!

Principle

  • Jesus knows people. He looks throughout the earth and looks for people who have a heart after God.
  • Jesus is the Commander in Chief of the Armies of God and the Armies of God control every event on earth.

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.

Matthew 16

Jesus has given the church the authority to declare lawful on earth what has already been declared lawful in heaven.

This Proves

  • The fact that the church has the dominion to make the laws and to overturn laws that are against God.

The Promise

  • Jesus will build His Church.
  • The powers of the infernal region shall not overpower it.
  • We have complete and free access to God’s Kingdom.
  • We have keys to open any and every door: no more barriers between heaven and earth.

Promise

  • That He may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you. He must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as He promised long ago.

No Walls

  • Can hold back God when the Holy Spirit is poured out. There are no barriers that can stop it. No demon can hinder God from moving in a community. No man can not stop God from saving a nation.

Points To Ponder

  • Revival always comes from the Lord when there is a season of repentance. When we see our condition and the attitude of the church we can come to no other conclusion. America needs revival!

If The Spirit Of God

Hits main street, it will affect wall-street.

Last Days Believers - Out Pouring (notes)

Last Days Believers - Out Pouring

Could It Be that America is on the verge of the greatest outpouring of the Spirit in her history?

In Any Revival

The main characteristic is a massive harvest of souls, which will result in transformation of society.

The Culture Will be changed when God pours out of His Spirit.

We Have Looked

At what happens when God moves in a nation. It does not matter what nation, whether it is pagan, or lost, in a distant land God can save that nation.

Example

  • Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire and Jonah. 40 days and the city will be overturned. The people believed God, they declared a fast and the king made a decree and God heard, God forgave and did not destroy the land.

What God Said

  • To Ezekiel chapter 3. God made him watchman for the house of Israel.

Principle

  • When God says to the wicked you will surely die and you do not warn him in order to save his life he will die and God will hold us accountable but if we warn him and he does not turn from sin he will die for his sin but you have saved yourself.

God Has Saved

Us to warn those who do not know Him so they can be saved from the coming wrath that is coming upon everyone who does not serve God.

We Have Been

Saved so we can stand in the gap for our nation. We are a kingdom of priests.

A priest presents people to God through intercession and God to people through evangelism.

This Is Why

  • I have been praying for America for so many years. I do not want to see judgment hit this land. I want to see revival in America.

The Promise

When we respond to God with the right attitude. Acts 3:17-26

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.

Promise

  • That He may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you. He must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as He promised long ago.

No Walls

  • Can hold back God when the Holy Spirit is poured out. There are no barriers that can stop it. No demon can hinder God from moving in a community. No man can not stop God from saving a nation.

Points To Ponder

  • Revival always comes from the Lord when there is a season of repentance. When we see our condition and the attitude of the church we can come to no other conclusion. America needs revival!

Last Days Believers - God’s Time (notes)

Last Days Believers - God’s Time

Such A Time!

  • Esther 4:14 -
  • For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?"

Being A Follower of Jesus Christ in the last days is the greatest privilege and honor God has given the church.

This Is A Time to shine the light of the glory of God to the world.

Esther Is A Type of church in the last days.

The last days church will see:

  1. The greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the world.
  2. The rise of the Anti-christ.
  3. Jesus will return for His bride.

We Have

  • The responsibility to impact our generation just as Joseph, Daniel, and Esther did theirs.

Just As God

  • Used Esther to save her people God will use the church to save millions of people from hell and judgment.

A Time Of Great

  • Of great shaking is predicted by Haggai.
  • “In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord.”

Haggai 2:6

Is The Shaking

Starting in the global economic troubles we are hearing about in the news?

When We See The

Shaking of the nations, it is time to rejoice for this is when God is going to pour the greatest blessings upon the church.

God Will Do

  • Great and mighty things that we know not.

Jeremiah 33:3

The Promise

‘The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine, ‘declares the Lord Almighty. ‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. And this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”

God Was

  • Speaking to Israel after a time of great judgment.

A Time of Great

  • World wide turmoil is coming while at the same time a time of world wide revival is going to happen at that time.

Points To Ponder From Esther 2:

  1. Esther is a type of the church.
  2. Holiness of God’s people.
  3. Favor of the church.
  4. The work of the Holy Spirit.
  5. Prosperity of the church.
  6. How God uses the church in the world.
  7. Preparation of the church to stand before the King of kings.
  8. The marriage supper of the Lamb.

Jesus Will demonstrate to the world His power through the church.

Last Days Believers - The Prophet & The King (notes)

Last Days Believers - The Prophet & The King

As We Get closer to the end of the age we are going to see the anointing on the prophetic increase.

God Will Raise up an army of young prophets with an alarming accuracy rate in their prophetic utterances.

Joel 2:28, Acts 2:17-18

Look Back to a period in history when God spoke to a king through a dream and how God raised up a young prophet to speak into the life of this king with God’s Word.

Daniel 4

God Sent

  • Angles to declare the verdict of the judge of the universe.

Daniel 4:17

Daniel Was

  • Terrified by the dream of the king.
  • “My Lord, if only the dream applied to your enemies and its meaning to your adversaries.”

Daniel 4:19

You Are that tree O King! You have become great and strong; your greatness has grown until it reaches the sky. And your dominion extends to distant parts of the earth.

Daniel 4:22

An Angel

Pronounces the verdict: “cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump, bound with iron and bronze, in the grass of the field, while its roots remain in the ground.”

It was not a fatal blow, but it was a blow to the king of the greatest kingdom on earth at the time.

Daniel 4:23

Explanation:

“You will be driven away from people and will live with wild animals, you’ll eat grass like cattle and be drenched with dew, seven years until you learn that God most high controls all earthly kingdoms and chooses their rulers.”

Daniel 4:25

God Gives The King

A choice. Turn from evil, do good!
  1. Renounce your sins.
  2. Do what is right.
  3. Be kind to the oppressed.
  4. Your prosperity will continue.

A Year Later

  • The king did not do what God said and as he was boasting about all his accomplishments God sent the Word of Judgment. He went insane for seven years.

God Restores The King

His sanity is restored:

  • He praises the most high.
  • He honored and glorified God.
  • He declares God’s Kingdom is an eternal dominion and endures from generation to generation.
  • Man is nothing.
  • God does what He pleases with the powers of heaven and the people of the earth.

Application

  • God is in charge of history.
  • God can pick anyone to lead a world empire.
  • God can speak to that leader through one of his servants.
  • God can humble the arrogant.
  • God will receive the Glory and His purpose will be accomplished.

The Greatest Issue

  • Of our day is abortion. Let me give you the history of planned parenthood.
  • Margaret Sanger (1883-1966) founder of P.P.
  • What she said about immigrants & indigents: “human weeds, reckless breeders, spawning… human beings who never should have been born. Couples should be required to submit applications to have a child.”
  • About African Americans “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.”

This Is A Time To Repent

  • America has become like the kingdom of Babylon. We are a huge tree where animals can find shade and this tree has blessed the world.
  • We must all pray for Mercy for if we do not we will be judged. We must stop killing our unborn children for if we do not this tree will be chopped down.
