Prophetic Message: Collision Course

 

Introduction:

In the midst of the chaotic world we live in, have you ever had a sense that something significant is happening? That we have crossed a threshold, venturing beyond the point of no return? Such thoughts have been weighing on my heart, and I believe it's crucial to pay attention to the signs around us. Today, I want to share with you my reflections on the current state of affairs and the urgency for spiritual preparedness.

The Acceleration: It feels as if we are aboard a speeding train, hurtling through time with a sense of recklessness. We, the passengers, are engrossed in the distractions inside the train, oblivious to the world passing by. Yet, a shift has occurred. We sense it in the very atmosphere, affecting even the weather. We must open our eyes and see the truth unfolding before us.

Scripture reminds us of the words spoken by the prophet Daniel: "But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge" (Daniel 12:4). In these last days, knowledge is indeed increasing exponentially. Technological advancements and global connectivity are transforming our world at an unprecedented pace. It is a clear sign that we are living in prophetic times.

The Warning: While the train of our lives hurtles forward, it is crucial to recognize the danger we face. We are dangerously close to veering off the rails. The collision course we are on with something beyond our imagination will shock us for years to come. The COVID-19 pandemic may have been a wake-up call, but what lies ahead will surpass even that.

In these times, it is essential to be firmly anchored to Jesus. We must be rooted in His love, walking in obedience, and in tune with the Holy Spirit. There is no room for fence-sitting or pursuing our own agendas. As followers of Christ, we have a mandate to advance God's Kingdom.

The Call to Action: While many remain unaware, there are those who have looked out of the windows and discerned the signs. They understand the urgency of the hour. If you are reading this, you might be one of those people. You are called to be a light in the darkness, to stand firmly on the side of truth and righteousness.

Let us come together as the body of Christ, united in purpose. As we witness the approaching collision, let us intensify our prayer meetings. Let us seek the face of God and intercede for our families, communities, and nations. For it is through prayer that we align ourselves with God's will and invite His intervention in these tumultuous times.

Scripture tells us, "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14).

Conclusion: The signs of the times are all around us. The world is changing rapidly, and we must not be caught off guard. By staying connected to Jesus, rooted in His love, and guided by the Holy Spirit, we can navigate the challenges ahead.

Let us heed the warning, intensify our prayers, and work together to advance God's Kingdom. The collision course we are on requires our utmost commitment and dedication. May we be found faithful, ready to face the future with unwavering faith and hope.

Are you prepared for what is to come?

Embracing Unwavering Faith

In our journey of faith, it is common for us to claim that we have fully surrendered to the Lord while still holding onto control in our lives. This hesitation to trust God completely stems from our fear and reluctance. We find ourselves attempting to manipulate outcomes, people, and circumstances, all the while professing our faith. However, it is crucial to understand that faith and fear cannot coexist harmoniously; fear undermines and nullifies our faith.

The Word of God cautions us against being double-minded, for such individuals cannot expect to receive anything from the Lord. James 1:6-8 states:

"But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."

This passage emphasizes the importance of unwavering faith, highlighting that doubt and wavering hinder our ability to receive from God.

In moments when we struggle to trust the Lord with every aspect of our lives, we should humbly approach Him and ask for His help in removing the fear from our hearts. Let us seek His guidance and allow Him to teach us how to place our complete reliance on Him. The psalmist beautifully expresses this sentiment in Psalm 56:3-4:

"When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?"

This passage reminds us that in times of fear, our trust in God should supersede any concerns we may have about human circumstances or outcomes.

This lesson of unwavering faith is exemplified by the lives of Abraham and Sarah. Despite their advanced age, Sarah herself received strength from God to conceive and bear a child because she considered Him faithful to His promise (Hebrews 11:11). Their story serves as a powerful reminder that when we judge God as faithful and trust in His promises, even seemingly impossible things become possible through faith.

Abraham's unwavering faith is also highlighted in Romans 4:20-21:

"Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised."

May we, like Abraham and Sarah, be encouraged to let go of our fears and fully trust in the Lord's faithfulness. Let us rely on His strength and have unwavering faith, knowing that He is true to His Word and will fulfill His promises in our lives. As Proverbs 3:5-6 advises:

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

Faith That Produces Results

Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.2 For indeed, the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, [a]not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. (Hebrews 4:1-2)

There is a certain kind of faith that produces results. To further explain this, I am going to use the example of a woman and how she produces a child. First, an egg is released from her ovary and makes its way down to the womb. Sperm is released to penetrate the egg, and when the egg is inseminated, it produces a child. A biological miracle has happened. Now, unless the egg and the sperm mix or make contact, it produces nothing. The egg will continue to make it to the womb where it can be inseminated but will be discarded. Even though the womb will get filled with blood, making the conditions right for insemination, the egg will die. There will be no miracle, no birth, and nothing will happen.

In a similar way, when we hear the Word of God, it will produce nothing unless we mix it with faith. The Word of God must be met with faith to produce healings and miracles! Let's take the story of an actual Holy Spirit insemination in the life of Mary, Jesus' mother.

"Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, 'Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!'" (Luke 1:26-28)

But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom, there will be no end."

Then Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?"

And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Now indeed, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God, nothing will be impossible."

Then Mary said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her. (Luke 1:29-38)

Now, the Word was given by the Angel Gabriel and it was met by Mary's faith. The moment Mary said, "Let it be to me according to your Word," the Word of God inseminated her womb and the Holy Spirit's power brought it into existence. Just like in Genesis: God spoke the Word, and the Holy Spirit brought it into existence. "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, 'Let there be light'; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness." (Genesis 1:1-4) Here we see the Godhead creating our world. The Father speaks the Word (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit's power brings it to pass. The angel said, "That the Holy Spirit would overshadow her." Just like in Genesis, the Holy Spirit is hovering, waiting to take action on our faith.

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1)

Faith gives things substance. In other words, it makes it a reality. Many times we confuse faith and hope. Hoping for something does not produce anything. While it is a building block of faith, it is not the same as faith. Hope is a desire for something to happen. Faith is knowing it will happen. Also, many people pray out of fear. They are afraid that if they don't pray, things will continue to get worse, or in their anxiety, they are praying all the time. Jesus said this, "And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words." (Matthew 6:7) Sadly, we pray over and over about the same things because we don't believe we were heard the first time. I know that this hits some people where it hurts because we can all be guilty of this. I don't want people to think they can't pray for the same thing over and over again. Sometimes we need to take ground in the spiritual realm. To be honest, some of our family needs our continuous prayers until we see the manifestation. I'm not talking about that. We need to examine whether we are in faith or anxiety when we pray.

If we are going to produce results with our prayers, we must believe God's Word and mix it with our faith. The best kind of prayer is praying God's Word in faith over our circumstances or the people we love. We can also command healing and miracles to come to pass through faith. It floors me that the God of the universe has given us this type of capability and authority in Jesus' name. He has given us this God-given power to produce results in the earth. Can you feel the weight of this responsibility?

Let us pray: Father, we thank you for this awesome and amazing God-given power and authority to co-labor with the power of the Holy Spirit and bring about results by faith. We receive the insemination of your Word in the womb of faith. We pray that we be fruitful and multiply an abundant harvest of healings and miracles in your name as well as many souls coming into Your Kingdom. Amen!

Fatal Attraction: The Church’s Affair With The Jezebel Spirit

In the present era, an alarming alliance has formed between the spirit of Jezebel and those who claim to be followers of God. It is disheartening to witness a culture permeated by sexual immorality, pride, vanity, perversion, witchcraft, new-age beliefs, and sorcery infiltrate the very fabric of the church. Furthermore, the lust for power, fame, and money has ensnared many church leaders, causing them to bow at the altars of Baal. Who is Baal? Baal is a Canaanite deity. Canaan was supposed to be the Land of Promise, but it became a place of idolatry. In Canaan, the worship of Baal Peor refers to a specific form of Baal worship. It was a local variation or manifestation of the Canaanite god Baal, specifically associated with sexual immorality.

Jezebel and Baal Worship:

To comprehend the gravity of the situation, it is essential to understand who Jezebel and Baal are. Jezebel, a seductive and manipulative figure, led the people of Israel astray by introducing the worship of Baal. Baal, a Canaanite deity, symbolizes the false gods that the Israelites were explicitly warned against. We receive this same warning in the book of Revelations when Jesus specifically deals with the spirit of Jezebel and Baal Peor worship through Apostle John.

20 “But I have this complaint against you. You are permitting that woman—that Jezebel who calls herself a prophet—to lead my servants astray. She teaches them to commit sexual sin and to eat food offered to idols. 21 I gave her time to repent, but she does not want to turn away from her immorality.

22 “Therefore, I will throw her on a bed of suffering, and those who commit adultery with her will suffer greatly unless they repent and turn away from her evil deeds. 23 I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches out the thoughts and intentions of every person. And I will give to each of you whatever you deserve.

Revelations 2:20-22

This cautionary message highlights the urgency for the church to recognize and resist the spirit of Jezebel in the present day. The consequences of succumbing to her influence are severe, as depicted by the suffering and judgment foretold. Many to this day are under a Jezebelic curse.

Ahab: A Weak Compromising Church:

In the Old Testament, Ahab serves as a vivid representation of a weak and compromising Christian or church in our present age. Despite being chosen to rule over God's kingdom, Ahab allowed the dominant influence of Jezebel's spirit to control him. Jezebel, in her cunning, established political alliances to exert power over Ahab and silence all opposition.

Even today, Jezebel employs political tactics to manipulate and control the masses, with a clear agenda of promoting sexual immorality and perversion. Her aim is to normalize behaviors that God explicitly condemns. Sadly, much like Ahab, numerous modern-day churches have fallen into complacency, compromising their core beliefs and surrendering to the seductive allure of worldly pleasures, particularly those of a sexual nature.

When faced with challenges, such as the recent pandemic, many of these churches chose to close their doors, succumbing to the intimidation tactics employed by the spirit of Jezebel. Regrettably, they failed to take a stand for righteousness, instead yielding to the pressures and compromises imposed upon them.

Furthermore, Jezebel had control over eunuchs, who were castrated men guarding the bedchamber. Metaphorically, this symbolizes the disempowerment of men and women from experiencing intimacy with Christ due to their entanglement in sexual immorality and indulgence in Jezebel's table. The sad reality is that a eunuch, regardless of their presence in the bedchamber, are incapable of giving birth to anything. Similarly, a church that succumbs to the influence of Jezebel and bows at the altars of her spirit will remain barren and ineffective.

But what does it mean to partake of Jezebel's table? It entails accepting her favors, gifts, and seeking her attention. It involves indulging in the tempting morsels of fleshly entertainment, being captivated by seductive music, and being enticed by the allure of scantily clad women on social media. By engaging in these behaviors, the church becomes entangled in the very web of immorality and compromise that Jezebel weaves. This not only hinders spiritual growth but also distracts from the pursuit of God's purpose and righteousness.

In light of this, we must remember the words of Jesus, who warned us about the dangers of lust and adultery. He emphasized that merely looking at someone with lustful intent is already committing adultery in one's heart. Jesus used vivid language to emphasize the seriousness of the matter, urging us to take drastic measures to guard against sin. He spoke of gouging out our eye or cutting off our hand if they cause us to sin, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing eternal salvation over momentary pleasures.

Jesus warned saying, “You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 So if your eye—even your good eye—causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your hand—even your stronger hand—causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. Matthew 5:27-30

Jezebel and her cultural influence:

Through her pervasive cultural influence, Jezebel's presence can be felt across various domains of society. She is obviously running Hollywood and has set up Satanic rituals to celebrate her. Jezebel runs the government and seeks to control her citizens with fear and intimidation. Jezebel runs the education system and has set up her eunuchs in libraries dressed in drag. Jezebel is even behind pulpits seducing God’s children to accept her eunuchs (castrated men who think they are women) or suffer the consequences of her intimidation and wrath. Where are the Elijahs and the Jehus who will stand up against her tyranny? My friends, we have normalized perverted and sexual immoral practices. Men and women run around half-naked publicly not caring if an innocent child is visually corrupted. We would rather be comfortable in our yoga pants and show our crotch than be concerned about who is being stumbled by it. Let’s not be naïve. Jezebel is coming for your children. Molesting children, assaulting or even trafficking them is not enough for this spirit. The next point on the agenda is to normalize pedophilia. Its goal is to destroy purity from every heart. Why? Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8

These issues are not things that have recently popped up. Sadly, this started long ago when Elvis Presley thought it was cool to shake his hips in a sensual manner. Later on and Michael Jackson would grab his crotch as he danced on stage. Jezebel only becomes more emboldened as no one says anything. The church has silently enjoyed many of these perverse practices and never said anything. Now men and women unashamedly dance at awards shows with barely anything on. Where is the outcry? There is none because many Christians are partaking of Jezebel’s entertainment. Recently a Pastor thought he would copy Hollywood’s Baal worship and desecrate God’s holy days. His Easter service looked like a demonic dedication to Baal. Besides a lot of complaining, the church in attendance remained silent. They didn't walk out or express any outrage. Why? Years of exposure to immoral practices on television have desensitized them. However, they should have walked out, refusing to return to an apostate church. When will the church stand up for righteousness? When will we shed our Ahab-like tendencies and stand up for children? When will we passionately defend innocence? As Jesus said, "This thing I have against you is that you tolerate Jezebel." Tolerance, in this context, means accepting or enduring something disliked or even hated to please others, becoming mere man-pleasers.

Our final response to this spirit should echo the words of Peter and the other apostles: "We ought to obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29). Just as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego proclaimed, "We will not bow to your idols," let us remain steadfast in our commitment to God and His truth. We must throw down Jezebel from her high places of authority in prayer and let the spirit of Jehu arise destroying the household of Ahab. Let it be so Lord!
