It is the deepest joy of my heart that I have been given the chance to write unto you. It is a true blessing and privilege that the Father has given to me that He has even considered me to be a steward of His word for your sakes. I pray that He will truly be the author of this book, and I, His scribe.
There is so much that the Lord has given to me to impact the body of Christ, my heart however is that His word receives a platform that will spread the truth; however, by whomever and in whatever way it may be.
It may be natural for you to question such a bold statement. One may wonder, what I refer to when I say that the world at large has not heard the absolute truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The name Christ is known throughout the entire globe. There are more Christians in the world than men devoted to any other religion. It would be seemingly absurd of me to suggest that even at this point, in the year 2016 the world at large has not discerned the truth of the gospel.
In the words of Jesus Christ - And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. – Matthew 24:14
The signs of the time are clear. There are wars and rumors of wars, violence, pestilence, famines, earthquakes in diverse places, tsunamis, mass murders, and many tears within the land. It goes without saying that the coming of our Lord Jesus is soon. The church and the world will soon see the rise of the anti-Christ and the world as we know it shall come to an end.
God has truly been faithful to exalt the name of His son, Jesus Christ. He is known on and believed on throughout the world. There are saints in China who hide for their own safety, but never fail to exalt the name of Christ. There are Christians in the middle east who are targeted by terrorist groups for the name they proclaim. Jesus Christ is unequivocally the most hated name in all the earth. His time to be glorified is upon us.
However, let us take a look at the church. One of the most diversely answered questions since the death of Christ is, what is truth? Pilate was bold when he asked our Lord this question. However, the silence of our Lord was the very answer to His question. Truth is not something that can be explained or defined, truth is a person. Truth is the life of men that was hidden in the heart of God before he ever framed the worlds. Truth is Jesus Himself.
This definition holds true today, however where is our Christ. Yes, the church believes in Jesus, but there are so many “versions” of Him. It seems the Jesus is now defined by our own opinions or interpretation of scriptures. This has left the church in a state of confusion and war.
Ephesians 4:4-6 - There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
The saints have no problem declaring this scripture, yet the church is given over to denominationalism. The fate and doctrine of the people of God has been left up to the personal interpretation of scripture. There is no accountability in the Body of Christ. The saints are birthed into an environment where they can clearly see the pillars of the faith divided. The Body of Christ, is no longer a body, but it is disjointed and disunified.
This may be a sensitive spot for the church to deal with but it is most necessary that we come face to face with reality. It is sad when the world has no confidence in the church. It is divided against itself and is failing to stand.
THE VISION
As I fellowshipped with the Lord one day, he caused me to see a vision. In the vision I saw a man in a field crawling on fours through the thick of the wilderness. He was strong built and barely had on any clothes. His hair was long, disheveled and grey with twigs, leaves and dirt intertwined within. His nails were long and his facial structure was that of a beast. He crawled through tall grass and ate of the greenery. He was moldy and filthy. Even though he barely had clothes on, his waist was still covered, with torn golden apparel. This was king Nebuchadnezzar.
Daniel 4:30-33 - The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee. And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.
As I beheld Nebuchadnezzar in the vision the Lord spoke unto me: “This is the state of my Church”. I immediately knew the mind of the Father in the matter. The early church brought great glory and honor unto God. They walked in the power of the Spirit and the might of holiness. The Apostles of old sought to protect the body from darkness and worked tediously to perfect the saints. However, after Apostle John died, the church fell into the dark ages – a time of no enlightenment.
In these times, later day moves of God, such as the great Azusa street revival revived the church and brought back a light to the world. This resurgence of the name of Christ, has truly placed Him on the scene as it relates to the global ministry, but what about the church. The church resurged divided, and broken and with no real discernment of their own salvation. Enlightenment has truly come to the world, by the preaching of Christ and the saving of souls, but the church has not been enlightened as to who they are.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
As we said, the signs of the times are sure. The Lord will soon be revealed. Therefore, before our Lord come, the antichrist must first come. However, the scripture above reveals that there would be a great falling away before the anti-christ comes. The church has already fallen away, and the manifestation of this is division.
The fallen church was who I saw in the state of Nebuchadnezzar. He took on the form of an animal, though he was a man. He lost consciousness that he was a man, and lived as an animal. This is the state of the church, they are Sons of God and have taken on the form of humanity. They are lustful for the things of the world, and operate as though they are a sinful creation.
Paul prayed that the spirit of enlightenment and the gift of wisdom would come to the churches. These refer to the revelation of the mystery of Christ. It is my prayer for you that you receive the revelation of the mystery of Christ, which is Christ in you the hope of glory.
When the mystery of Christ is truly perceived the church will recognize that they are not a sinful entity. They, have no dual nature, their nature is of Christ. They can walk in perfection, which simply speaks to a choice to obey God in all things at all times.
If we believe that we are sinful beings, we will always walk as such. As a man thinketh so is he. Nebuchadnezzar took on the spirit of an animal, so has the church taken on the spirit of humanity. However, what keeps them in that state is unbelief.
The church has not truly come to the realization that they are sons of God. If we believe that we are simply human beings without the power to walk holy, we will never even try to. We must believe the scriptures as says.
1 John 4:17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
When the mystery of Christ is installed in the church, we will finally come to perfection and righteousness. We will walk as He is and be restored to strength. There is an elect that God has chosen to declare His name in these end times. Are you a member of the elect? If so, prepare to be grounded in the mystery of Christ.
It will produce real sons of God in these end times. They will be grounded in love for each other and for their Father. They will lay down their lives for Christ sake. They will walk in neither darkness nor grey. They will be the manifested sons of God.
Though the church may be weak now, the true sheep will spring forth and be unified in doctrine and mind. The church in these end times will stand, before our Christ appears.
