Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers. And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD…For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper…who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, to do you good in the end…. (Deut. 8:1-3, 7-9, 16)
To those in the body of Christ
who are willing and prepared, we’re about to enter into a time of fullness,
restoration and harvest unprecedented in the history of the world. The world,
itself, is in cataclysmic chaos, rampant unrighteousness, lawlessness and
confusion, at least quantitatively, in such ways as have never been. The evil
Babylonian/antichrist systems of politics and religiosity have formed, and are
continuing to evolve into an alliance whose purpose is to “make war with the
saints and overcome them” (Rev. 13:7), with its ultimate aim to make war with
the Lamb in futility, and foolishly try to prevent Him from reclaiming the
earth at His second coming. In the midst of all this, the Lord is raising up a
body on this earth, touched to their core with the power of the cross unto
death of self, and filled with His grace and glory. This new season of
restoration is to prepare the earth for His coming, reap a harvest of
righteousness and souls for His glory, and execute His judgments to prove
beyond a shadow of doubt His infinite mercy to a world that has truly given
itself to evil and hatred of all the is just, true and holy. We can either cave
in to fear, as the first generation of Israelites did that came out of Egypt, or confidently move forward through the
waters of death (the Jordan)
and enter into this new season or warfare and victory for His glory.
