The Generation of Jacob By Mike McClung


Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face. Selah (Psalm 24:3-6).

The Lord is a God of generations.  The Lord looks on us individually, loving, providing and using us - weak and broken human beings - to accomplish His will, but He also sees us interconnected with all of the generations of past ages.  When confronting error in the Saducees’ resurrection theology, He said, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living (Matt. 22:32).  In giving this answer, the Lord also verifies that the Father thinks and sees generationally.

From Kairos to Chronos - New Season is Here!

A new kairos moment has opened.

This is the opportune time to repent, adjust and get positioned (Acts 3:19) for the new season (chronos - Acts 3:21) that is beginning. The Jordan (the waters of death to SELF - and death to anything else necessary) has opened, and the waters of death are piled up back to "Adam" (Joshua 4-5). It is the time of cutting off the sins and iniquitous patterns of past generations to enter into the full inheritance that Jesus has purchased for His body to walk in. 

I've personally never seen such an onslaught of death around me, personally and within my sphere. For those who know the Lord, it's a joyous time of knowing that they (anyone who has passed on) will be safe in the cloud of witnesses, while we face and overcome, through the power of the Spirit, the forces of darkness. 

There's an inheritance in Christ to be possessed, and enemies to be put under His feet to prepare the way, the nations and the earth for His return. We're in that last season. We must repent of the Babylonian ways and systems that have entered the temple of God (His individual and corporate body). A new ministry has been in the process of preparation for years, and is now ready to be unleashed with authority and power. They have been dealt with and will be dead to self, ambition and personal significance ("MY ministry", "MY rights", ad nauseum), and who only live and breathe to follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They will not fear the face of men or demons. They will speak the word of God with boldness and God Himself will back the word up with power. 

A great purging and purification is coming first to the people of God (the "oikos" of the "naos", or building material of the true temple of His body - see Eph. 2:19-22). It will then flow out to the outer court of the house, then to the cities and communities of that royal priesthood (Melchizedek) that have remained faithful to Him. There's always been a remnant. 

Things are in place.... The pieces are beginning to move.... The downfall of the accuser is imminent!
