A New Age is At Hand By Mike McClung

See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying,“Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear (Hebrews 12:25-28).

The kingdom of God has suffered violence since creation, but more so in the last 2000 years than any time in history.  I am very reticent about this article.  In this article, I will state my understanding, at least in part, of what I perceive scripture says regarding the last days and the coming of the Lord Jesus.  There seem to be as many different eschatological systems as there are denominations, each one claiming to be revealed truth.  I have studied, in-depth, all of them. While they all contain truth, each contain aspects that do not bear witness of the truth: firstly, in the life and teachings of the Lord Jesus, and secondly, in the contextual totality of scripture.  Just as Jesus was stretched to extremes on the cross, with His heart and mind found in the middle, so we can probably find much of the truth somewhere in the center of extreme views.  So, I tread lightly and humbly through the following article. Here, I offer my view of the restorative operation of the Holy Spirit in restoring the foundational teaching of the kingdom of God in the life of the body of Christ, so that we, the body, may go on to maturity. (Heb. 6:1.)

Year-End Letter and Lionheart Update, 2014

To All Lionheart Friends and Supporters,

We want to take a moment to thank all who have supported Lionheart Restoration Ministries, both in prayer and financially, over 2014. We have been steadily moving forward in the will and purposes of the Lord, and we’re about to enter the next phase beginning in January 2015.

We have regularly held worship, intercession, teaching and spiritual warfare events, training and trips throughout 2014 that have born fruit. We are thankful for all our friends both here and overseas that we have worked with to see the presence of the Lord established and the kingdom of God extended. Beginning in January 2015, we will begin worship and intercession watches again from our meeting facility (and home) in Louisville, TN (actually under the auspices of the city of Alcoa). We are happy to announce the opening of The Prayer Cave in early January (date yet to be decided). The Prayer Cave will be open through the week at certain times for worship, intercession and just soaking in the presence of the Lord. We will have focused intercessory watches at certain times throughout the day, along with worship watches where it will be just vertical ministry to the Lord. There will also be strategic prayer watches and initiatives that will be announced as things get more set in order. We will also be observing 21 days of prayer and fasting beginning January 2 and ending January 21, 2015. The schedule is to be announced very soon. We will be having focused teaching on issues the body of Christ is facing in our times, and focused intercession at each meeting. Everyone is invited as we come and humble ourselves before the Lord, seek His face, and cry out for revival and breakthrough in our area, this nation and the world.

We are trying to get the Prayer Cave finished and ready for operation. We could use a little help! If you would like to make a year-end donation toward the finishing of the Prayer Cave, you may do so online by clicking here, or by sending a check to our address: Lionheart Restoration Ministries, 1972 Stonybrook Rd. Louisville, TN 37777. We look forward to seeing the body of Christ become one with the Lord Jesus and one another in the coming months and years as we press forward into the harvest and His highest purposes together.  Blessings for 2015!

Grace and peace,

Mike McClung
