As I
continue on with my assignment from the Lord, here is the third prophecy. I should
say that what I originally heard was present forty prophetic messages that will
help enable my apostles and prophets to move into my shift. All are prophesying
a great movement of my Spirit on the earth and these are some of the nuts and
bolts, some of the frames and cross members of my structure. They are necessary
in my total plan of redemption for the world.
Acts 14:3 “Long time therefore abode they speaking
boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and
granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.”
Somehow,
over the years, the church (remember the definition) have lost a true
understanding of the reason for signs and wonders. The Father says, "I did signs, wonders and
marvelous feats in the first century to establish the gospel of grace." Now we
live in a time where so many have made grace a dirty word. Personal holiness is
held above grace making grace of no effect. If those who are representing me
are basically denying my grace in all they teach and do is it any wonder that
we do not see more signs and wonders?
Further, I
hate to have to tell you but many of the so called signs and wonders today are
in reality “lying” signs and wonders. God WILL NOT put his stamp of approval on
this mixture of Old Covenant and New Covenant no matter how sincere we may be.
Now understand this, there is a lot of New Covenant in the Old Testament and
there is a lot of Old Covenant in the New Testament so I am not referring the
divisions of the bible. They are mostly arbitrary anyway. I am speaking of
rightly dividing the word of truth. What is the word of truth you ask?
Let us let
Paul define it for us: Eph 1:13 “In whom
ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of
your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that
holy Spirit of promise,” Oh I see, the word of truth according to Paul is the
gospel of your salvation. When we rightly divide the word of truth, correctly
handle the word of truth we are rightly dividing and correctly handling the
gospel. That is drastically missing from the doctrinal landscape these days. Is
it any wonder that we do not see broad examples of glorious signs and wonders?
Yes, we
stand at a fork in the road. Yes, the Spirit of God wants to move powerfully in
this season. Yes, God has called you to a specific place and time with a
specific purpose. Understand that you must also present his program. It was one
that was set in place before the foundation of the world, Ephesians 1. According
to Paul, God’s first purpose in creation was redemption and that was before he
created anything else. It is time to embrace the gospel of God. It is time to
encourage the saints. It is time to stop doing the work of the accuser of the
brethren. It is time to stop being discouraging. It is time to focus on the gospel in a way like never before!
It is time
to focus on the New Covenant and the New Jerusalem. I will have a lot more to
say on this…. more tomorrow!
