THE PASSING STORM AND THE COMING KING

I do not know why many are surprised at the decadent turn the world has taken. The present world has a time span. It must surely give way to Christ’s coming Kingdom (Matt 24:14). The Holy Scriptures aptly described all the events we see today and what Christ’s true disciple should do. (Matt. 24) ISIL, Boko Haram, Al-Shabab, Ebola, occult, homo sexuality, persecutions, hatred for the faith, divorce and many dark inventions of satan are all sufficiently covered in Scriptures. It should not shift our gaze if we are conversant with the Scripture which is the ONLY source of true strength in the earth today and forever. Please read the Bible yourself and not just listening to preaching. READ!! READ!! READ!!

This is not the time to sigh and despair but to find solace and strength in God’s unchangeable word (Acts 20:32). As the negative events get closer to us than ever, we must realize that these vortex of darkness also creates an opportunity for the seeking disciples to experience Christ birthing and development within (Gal. 4:19). Christ is coming in the inward man. If He does not come IN US, He cannot come FOR US. The dark events can be mentally draining, energy sapping and sin birthing if we over dwell on them. It can alter our personality and disfigure us spiritually. They may become caging abode. This time of global darkness (Isa. 60:1-2) also present an opportunity for Christ light to shine brightly. Where do we set our attention, the PHYSICAL events of palpable darkness or the hidden light in the SPIRIT? (Col. 3:1-2)




We must guide our heart diligently and what we allow to sip in (Prov. 4:23). We must check our thoughts especially what we sleep on. Not your bed or mattress but what runs inside you before you sleep. Cleanse your mind before you sleep so God can visit you if He desires to do so. Purify yourself. Do not take anger, unforgiveness and bitterness to bed. Take them off before you sleep. (Phil. 4:8) Live the day in Him. Set aside time for Zion in the midst of Babylon.

The Gospel of the Kingdom provides the vehicle for the emergence of Christ within. In it lies the means for accurate spiritual education. The syllabus remains Christ and Christ alone. (Eph. 4:11-13, Matt. 16:15-18) This gospel provides a tracking device for our real spiritual development. True spirituality is measurable. (Rev. 11:1) The measurement is Christ and our development in phases. Our character must reveal the process of dying to the flesh and growing in Christ. Our nature must change as His Kingdom arrives within us. We must die daily and Christ must grow daily in us. (1Cor 15:31) This is the time of transition. Bread and butter gospel will not be helpful now; (Matt. 6:33) the becoming path into Christ fullness is what we must seek now. (Eph. 4:13) We must look towards Zion. 

The world will grope in darkness with no answer, Government the world over will look perplexed, big Corporations will fold up, institutions will fail, business and management principles will fail to tame the inward monstrous beasts, and Stardom will become derision in the end. Dark, hidden and age long secrets will be revealed. Man will conceive the rebuilding of the mental and physical tower of babel. Many will live and dine with the devil; they will seek deliverance from bondage and enslavement from everywhere minus the Bible. They will hate the WORD and persecute the faith. Many will live permanently in anger (not really knowing why they do so), they will be edgy. Many will hate correction, and will celebrate profanities above decency. Man will be god over man. Many will worship men and things. (Matt 24) Manipulation and deception will be the order of the day. Righteousness will be derided and iniquity will be venerated. Highly philosophical dark wisdom will shine. Earth leaders will be first ‘class Actors’. Comedy will be their bait. They will have corrupting values. Governance will be built on lies. Many will willfully follow errors. The Leaders will lead the people like goat to the slaughter, the people will celebrate the ropes on their necks but the righteous will break free. Entertainment will be the ruling empire. In their entertainment lies death. Church growth strategies will fail and antiquated spiritual positions will bring disgrace at the end of the day, but those who seek the inward Christ will live in Goshen while the judgments tumble on Egypt. The light of Christ will shine in spiritual Eden where Christ's true disciples live, while Babylon will grope in darkness. Heaven will come to the earth of men’s heart and hell will live in the soul of dark men. Preachers of darkness will abound while the true preachers will become invisible, needing discernment to locate them. Physicality will become deceptive. Darkness will hide behind physicality while Christ disciples will discern, live and walk in the Spirit. Captains of Egypt will abound, whose specialty is to lead Christ’s men back to Spiritual Egypt (Rev. 13:7) but the true disciples will break their yoke.

These witness stands in the hearts of Christ’s own, not new, because the King has been speaking in our hearts and will continue to speak today, tomorrow and when He fully comes.

     1Co 7:29. I mean, brethren, the appointed time has been winding down and it has grown very short. From now on, let even those who have wives be as if they had none, 30.  And those who weep and mourn as though they were not weeping and mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they did not possess anything, 31.  And those who deal with this world [overusing the enjoyments of this life] as though they were not absorbed by it and as if they had no dealings with it. For the outward form of this world (the present world order) is passing away. 32.  My desire is to have you free from all anxiety and distressing care…………… (AMP)

    1Jo 2:15  Do not love or cherish the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. 16.  For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh [craving for sensual gratification] and the lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind] and the pride of life [assurance in one's own resources or in the stability of earthly things]--these do not come from the Father but are from the world [itself]. 17.  And the world passes away and disappears, and with it the forbidden cravings (the passionate desires, the lust) of it; but he who does the will of God and carries out His purposes in his life abides (remains) forever. (AMP)

ONLY THE WORD (OF GOD) HAS THE ANSWER TO THE WORLD. IN HIS WORD WE MUST LIVE. FOR IN HIM WE LIVE, AND MOVE, AND HAVE OUR BEING; ………. Act 17:28
