Last Days Believers - Obedience (notes)

Last Days Believers - Obedience

Jesus has called us to a life of obedience.

Paul Gives Some Powerful Principles To Christians:

1. We were dead in sin.

2. We followed the ways of this world.

3. We followed the ruler of the kingdom of the air.

4. The spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.

5. We once all lived that way, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature, following its desires and thoughts.

6. But because of His great love for us, God, rich in mercy made us alive with Christ.

7. It is by grace that we are saved.

Romans 5:19

For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Romans 6:16

Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey--whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?

I Samuel 15:22

And Samuel replied: “does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.”

Why God Rejected King Saul:

• Because of his willful disobedience to God’s command.

What Is Rooted In Disobedience?

• Rebellion.

What Is Rebellion?

• It is the system that rules the kingdom of darkness.
• It is saying, I am god.
• It is saying, I am in charge.
• It is saying, I can do it without God.

What Must Be Our Attitude?

• Have a meek one.
• Meekness is not weakness but real strength.
• Meekness says I need God; I can not do it without Him.

Prayer

• Lord, I want to be Your obedient servant. I will do what You say, and speak what You tell me to and go where You say to go.

There Are

• Obedient believers who are anointed to do a mighty work for God.
• Disobedient believers who give God a bad name and hinder the work of God.

Point To Ponder:

• Which kind of believer are you?

Last Days Believers - The Day of The Lord

Jesus

• Talked about signs that would tell that generation that His coming was soon in Matthew 24
• Mentioned that Israel was the key to unlocking the revelation that we were in the last days.

The Coming Move of God is going to touch every person on the planet.

• Joel 2:28 All people, mankind, every kind of people, everyone, all humanity, not just the nation of Israel.

The Church Must

• Look to Israel as the time piece of God. When something significant happens in Israel, it is because something powerful has taken place in the spiritual realm.

Acts 2

• Talks about the beginning of the end of the age.
• Mentions the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the church

Truths to Look at Today

• When the Holy Spirit is poured out, there will be a major change in the culture.
  
• Society will be impacted by a world wide outpouring.

They Were All

• Together in one place (in one accord)
• Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house.
• They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and come to rest on each of them.

They Were All Filled

With the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. No one taught them how to speak in tongues, the Holy Spirit just fell on them and they spoke in a heavenly language.

I Pray The Holy Spirit

• Falls on us as it did on that great day.
• We will be filled with all the goodness of God and shake our world as the early believers shook their world for Jesus Christ.

What Is The Day of the Lord?

1. It is when God pours out His judgments on the world as mentioned in the writings of the prophets.
2. When the sun will be turned into darkness and the moon to blood as signs that the day has come.
3. A great harvest of souls will take place.

Jesus Is Coming

Back for His church (the rapture) right before the seven year period of God’s wrath is poured out on the world.

Events

• Global catastrophes will take place.
• A world ruler will rise to power with all the answers to the global troubles.
• God will pour out His Spirit upon 144,000 Jews that will lead Israel to Jesus Christ.

What We Must Look for:

1. A great outpouring of the Spirit upon the Gentiles.
2. A great harvest (Matthew 24:14) will take place as a result of the preaching of the Good News to the world.
3. The Jews will return to Israel.
4. The greatest miracles ever seen will take place in the church.

Prayer

• Will take on a new priority in the church.
• Do you find yourself praying more than ever?
• Is the most powerful weapon the church has to defeat evil. James 5:13-18

There Are Four Levels of Personal Powerful Prayer

1. When I pray with power I invade the powers of hell.

2. It helps us in times of trouble.

3. It heals the sick

4. It forgives our sins

Points To Ponder

• When we experience personal powerful prayer.
• The hot embers from my prayer life will throw sparks upon others in the church then the fire spreads throughout the land.

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

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.

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.

Ephesians 6:12

We do not fight against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

There Are Four Levels of fallen angels that the church must defeat in prayer:

1. Principalities.
2. Authorities of the unseen world.
3. Mighty powers of this dark world.
4. Evil spirits in the heavenly places.

The Promise

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

Eph. 1:19-23

There Are Four Levels in the spirit realm that we are to engage.

1. Strategic level spiritual warfare. Dan. 10:12-21
2. The thinking-world view of the culture. II Cor. 10:3-5
3. The religious spirits that hinder the Gospel from spreading.
4. The demons people face in every day situations.

Points To Ponder

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