READING AND UNDERSTANDING THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES. PART 6.



This message and presentation, perhaps, is one of the key pointers to the prophetic desire of the Body of Christ as it calls us again to undress and change our focus towards more deliberate directives and instructions of the Lord regarding what he terms signs of the times, which point to the signs of his ultimate returns.



These signs are designed to guide and guard hearts as Saints and Watchmen on the wall in preparation for his coming. We must not be distracted by physical signs to the degree that we lose the inner signs and compass assigned to prompt us toward the place of continual obedience and submission to what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to us on a daily basis.



Saints, watchmen, and prophets of all ages have all invested their time, family, and other precious resources to track and follow who is known as the signs of the times. Many of the zealous men and women we read about who did exploits regarding the work of missions across the globe and their communities did all they did because they were followers and seekers of the lamb of God.



Matthew 16: 1



The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven. 2 he replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘it will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ 3 and in the morning, ‘today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ you know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. A 4 a wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then left them and went away.



The zeal, passion, and love we display for the Lord and on behalf of the Lord and his kingdom is a direct manifestation of our sense of being able to read the signs of the times.



Whether we consider the great phenomena of eclipses and other signs that often go unnoticed by the naked eye as mere celestial accidents or view the ongoing conflict between nations like Israel and Iran and the general instability in the Middle East as a simple cause and effect with no connection to the prophetic unfolding of time, one thing is clear: these are unprecedented times that call for us to be vigilant and prepared. We must be discerning, courageous, and vigilant and reinforce our faith focus in the preparedness not to be overwhelmed by the present darkness.

IN THE SCHOOL OF PRAYER WITH CHRIST. WHY WE NEED TO PRAY. PART 31.



In this insightful teaching and spiritual practice of prayer and intercession, we delve into the significance of prayer and the ongoing spiritual battle. Let’s explore key points:



The Nature of Our Days: Our lives are marked by various degrees of the works of the flesh. The enemy seeks to exalt the flesh as the ruler of our desires and decisions. As believers, we must resist this anti-Christ spirit and not allow it to dominate our choices.



The Flesh’s Agenda: Our old Adamic nature craves recognition and acceptance. It clamors for praise, regardless of its source. Like a deceptive king, it seeks elevation. However, the Spirit calls us to ascend higher to the mountain of representation.



Engaging the Flesh: We cannot rely on the flesh to correct itself; it will ultimately defeat us. Instead, we must wait on the Spirit, deepening our trust, knowledge, and wisdom in Christ. Humility and brokenness lead to spiritual growth.



Beware of Soulish Wisdom: Enemies infiltrate, offering soulish knowledge—the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil. We must reject worldly methodologies and invest in our spiritual development.



The Battle Within: The last days usher in a battle of submission and obedience. Yielding to the flesh leads to corruption, but yielding to the Spirit produces righteousness, peace, and joy.



We gain ascendancy in the spirit as we grasp these truths, advancing God’s kingdom through prayer and fasting. 🙏

THE CHRONICLES OF A CHRIST DISCIPLE. PART 7. LEARNING TO TRUST IN THE LORD REGARDLESS OF THE CONDITION.



JEREMIAH 10:23. I KNOW, O LORD, THAT A MAN’S WAY IS NOT HIS OWN; NO ONE WHO WALKS DIRECTS HIS OWN STEPS. 24 CORRECT ME, O LORD, BUT ONLY WITH JUSTICE—NOT IN YOUR ANGER, OR YOU WILL BRING ME TO NOTHING.



Our theological perception of God and comprehension of how He operates in our lives significantly impact how we respond to His will. If we genuinely trust Him, we will receive the necessary grace, wisdom, courage, and passion to fulfill His will. The Father's will always come with the means to accomplish it.



The intention of the Lord is to correct our flawed view of Him and His purpose. This correction applies not only to our personal lives but also to His entire creation.



We are told that God's providential purpose works for our good, but this doesn't mean that we will always understand the path that leads us towards His good purpose. Despite this, we must learn to trust the Lord and accept the routes He has chosen for us.



One of the reasons Jesus cursed the fig tree was that it appeared to have fruit and, therefore, life to offer. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the fig tree was actually barren and had nothing to offer. Jesus saw through the facade of the fig tree and cursed it for its deceptive nature.



It's important that we consider the expectations of the Lord from His church, especially in light of the current times. We often see a ministry that has the appearance of a healthy and fruitful fig tree, but when it comes to bearing fruit, it falls short. The Lord is ending this type of ministry in this season.



MARK 11:12 AND ON THE NEXT DAY, THEY HAVING GONE OUT FROM BETHANY, HE WAS HUNGRY. 13 AND HAVING SEEN A FIG TREE FROM AFAR, HAVING LEAVES, HE WENT TO SEE IF PERHAPS HE WILL FIND ANYTHING ON IT. AND HAVING COME TO IT, HE FOUND NOTHING EXCEPT LEAVES, FOR IT WAS NOT THE SEASON OF FIGS. 14 AND ANSWERING HE SAID TO IT, “MAY NO ONE EAT THE FRUIT OF YOU, NO MORE TO THE AGE.” AND HIS DISCIPLES WERE LISTENING.
