The Day Everything Changes

The Day Everything Changes

Luke 21:34-36
34 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.
35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

We understand that we are to occupy until He comes.

Yet we are being thrust by time itself into the time of prophetic fulfillment, which will end the age.  It’s like warnings about an approaching storm.

The signs are clear.  We are racing down the information superhighway at breakneck speed without even asking, “Where are we headed?”

Yet people from every nation, race and creed are asking this question.

Environmentalists are sounding alarms about the earth (some false).

New diseases, resistant to medicine.  Trillion-dollar debt.

Wars and rumors of wars.

People working around the clock to pay bills to enjoy a life they don’t enjoy.  Increased credit-card debt.

IS THERE HOPE?  YES, The hope is in Jesus and His promise to take away those of us who believe in Him.

We are living in the days when the Holy Spirit is lighting up the prophetic scriptures and darkness is fleeing.

Matt. 24:3-7
3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.
5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

All these are happening NOW at breakneck speed.

Matt. 24:8
All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Labor pains start slow then increase in intensity as they continue, so it is with last days.

So we know spiritual deception will increase.

1 Tim. 4:1
Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,

The point is that the birth pangs are growing closer and closer together and greater and greater in intensity.  The earth is crying out.  JESUS IS COMING.

We have spiritual deception, national disruption and physical destruction.

How should we respond?   It’s not to excite us or scare us.

People will travel to prophecy conferences and study it etc. but they NEVER CHANGE.

Won’t come to church and don’t live differently.

Stop trying to get RIGHT and GET RIGHT.

What shall be the signs of Your coming?  The labor pains are a minute apart and the world is dilated to 10 but Christians want a spiritual epidural.

We MUST WAKE UP and get to work while it is YET DAY.

The TIME IS NOW, the altar is HERE and Jesus is calling YOUR NAME.

He is calling you to live differently while there is time.

If you are NOT saved or not sure if you are, He is calling your name while there is hope and time.

Twilight Season

Exodus 14:24-25
24 Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians.
25 And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”

The breaking of a new day is called twilight.
The sun going down at the end of a day is also called twilight.

Change is upon us.  Twilight is breaking in the life of the church in this season.

We are moving from our NORMAL mentality of church on Sunday to unlocking God’s plan in the earth.  The Kingdom of God is within us but must be unlocked.

We, as the church, are called to accomplish something; we are called out for a purpose.

The church is moving FROM just a group who fellowship TO becoming a victorious war instrument in the earth realm.  We are building.  We are learning to BIND and LOOSE.

We are seeing what God has stored in heavenly places for this season and calling it from heaven to earth.  Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done.

We are starting to look up to heaven and seeing the IT that the Lord wants us to agree with and declaring IT will manifest in the earth.

We are moving from “CONFUSED NOISE” to becoming a “SURE SOUND” in the earth.  Worship is changing.  Sound produces change.

Judah is leading us into NEW PLACES.  Sound creates movement.

The wind in the mulberry trees is blowing. 
Hear the wind and go with the flow.

As the twilight breaks, the wineskin of the church is changing.

Let’s look at Gen. 32:24
Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.

This confrontation would be Jacob’s salvation.  The best way to describe the breaking of a new day or twilight is “WE WRESTLE”.

The breaking of a new day (twilight) always entails a changing of one nature into another.

To wrestle is to CONTEND in a struggle.  It produces a breakthrough into NEW TRUTH and strength within us.

The breaking of a new day (twilight) is really “the eyelids of the morning to open over our life.”

Moving toward the light through a visitation of the Lord that breaks us through to our future.

Jacob finally has his last crossing over.   A NEW DAY BREAKS (TWILIGHT).

If you are willing to wrestle through the night, you must also learn to watch for the day.

Twilight means to be in a place of transition, that’s where Jacob was.

There is also a transition taking place in many of you, it’s really a changing of the wineskin.

The new wine is God pouring into you the power, understanding and wisdom for breakthrough.

Yours for revival,
